CITY Gardens.

Over 100 poor families In Chicago
raised vegetables on small plots OF
ground in a 26-acre tract on the west
side this year as a result Of the efforts
of the city gardens association. The
success of this organization during its
first season in helping needy persons
to help themselves has led TO arrange
ments for maintaining additional tracts
for gardens next year.
The work in Chicago is similar to
the vacant-lot gardening In many 9TH
er cities. Promoters Of this kind of
self-help for city jewellers held a con-
vention in Buffalo. n. Y, recently and
organized a national city-lot and
school gardening association. En-
couraging reports were made to the
convention by representatives OF va
rious cities.
From Philadelphia, where the tilling
of vacant lots has been carried on ex-
tensively for twelve years, 1t was re-
ported that directors of the gardening
association had inspired similar work
in cities OF France and England. A
representative of the national depart
ment of agriculture said that good
use of seeds provided by congress was
made in city-lot gardening in Wash
ington. The overseer Of the poor in
Buffalo, where gardens are provided
by the municipality, reported that
through them many worthy persons
received aid under circumstances fos-
tering self-respcet.
Paralleling the development of va
cant-lot gardens is the development

Mrs. Rose ProuIx, SO, OF Columbia,
Shoots HerseIf-Dies at Hospital.
Mrs. Rose Proulx, aged SO years. of
Columbia, shot herself about IL O'Clock
Friday forenoon at her home on the
road to Columbia. just over the bridges
on the Willimantic river, near what Is
known as the Robert Brown place.
The deed was done with .38 caliber
revolver. Mrs. Proulx was alone at
the time that she committed the rash
act, except that her little daughter,
aged five, was in the house. Peter
Proulx, her husband. was at his work
at C. G. Cases mill at Hop River. At
ter the woman had shot herself the lit
tie girl ran down the road to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hook and told the
latter that there was something the
matter with mamma. Mrs. Hook went
to the home of the Proulxs and seeing
what the woman had done notified DR..
c. e. Simonds of this city, who had
the injured woman removed to st. Jo-
seph's hospital. He and DIR. Weldon
worked over her for some time in the
eldeavor to save her life, but the bull
let had penetrated the abdomen and
passed out at the back.
DIR. Simonds notified Medical Exami-
ner DIR. Louis j.. Mason of the town OF
Windham of the 'woman's death. The
examiner for the town of Columbia
should act and telephoned Coroner Bill
for instructions and was informed that
II was his duty to act. Consequently
DR.. Mason went to the hospital and
pronounced death due to suicide.
Peter Proulx, besides working at the
Case mill, runs a small farm and with
his wife and child had occupied the
place for a. couple of years. His wife's
parents, also named Proulx, had lived
and died there.
Proulx arrived at the house about
the time that DR.. Simonds did and
said that he knew no reason why his
wife should have done the act. She
had complained of not feeling well, but
NE did not suppose that there was
anything seriously wrong with her.
Mrs. Proulx was unconscious practical
Iy all the time after she shot herself
until she died. Rev. H. c. Paquette.
assistant pastor of ST. Mary's church,
was called and she admitted to him
that she was sorry that she had shot
herself.

The Connecticut river has made dol
lar electricity in Worcester sell for IS
cents. That is OF of the economical
results Of placing one more dam In
that river than the long time power ex-
perts said was industrially possible.
One more dam may cut the price OF
electric power down TO so cents. Drop
the dams into the Connecticut and 9TH
er rivers. That is the most positive
way thus far demonstrated for reduc-
ing the price Of living in this country
The United States is full OF such pos
sibilities. in New England and in other
sections And not only do the dams
lower prices. but navigation for freight
on the rivers and the canals that con-
meet them with the lakes and the
oceans by the most direct routes for
reaching Industrial cities, cuts down
the expense OF doing business and
makes the cost of living cheaper t.
