LATE WORK IN THE GARDEN
Onion Bed Set in FaI!-SeIect Sweet
Corn Seed From Growing Plant
Burbank Plan.
(By BESSIE L. PUTNAM.)

(By BESSIE Il. PUINAM.)
If you are fond of young onions do
not fail to set out a bed of 'top
onions" for the very earliest use IN
the spring. They do not form bulbs
but are more in form like scullions.
Yet in early spring it is indeed re-
'freshing to be able to find an onion
bed ready for use. The tops of the
seed stalk produce small bulbs which
should be set in autumn, and thus
the stock renewed from year to year
While the plant is perennial, the bulbs
are more tender when grown each
year from bulbs planted in the au-
tumn
Select your seed sweet corn from
the growing plant, noting not only
the size and evenness of the ear and
grains, but the number produced on
a stalk. Turn the husks back, using
then have a convenient package for
hanging up to dry.
Save your squash seeds from the
first really good Hubbard that ma
lures. Like begets like and if you
wait until the late ones are ripe you
simply make selection that will pro-
duce later fruit another year The
Burbank plan has many applications
which the ordinary gardener will do
we'll to observe.
Keep the late root crops growing.
II the soil Is lumpy Or the golden-rod
gets in the wheel hoe and the weed
cutter will remedy this in short order

VAN HiSE ISSUES DENIAL
Declares False Story of Narrow Es-
cape From Defeat for Re- cleo
ton as Verstf Head.

Madison.-That he was recently re-
elected by the regents to the pres1-
dency of the University Of Wisconsin
by a narrow margin OF one vote, was
positively denied by President Chas.
R. Van Hise, when his attention was
called to newspaper dispatches sent
out from this city to that effect
His appointment to the presidency
by the regents in 1904, he pointed
out, was for an unlimited term, as
has always been the case with the
president of the university.
The story that Prof. E. J. Turner
of the department Of American his
tory at the university resigned last
year in order to accept chair at
Harvard, because he had espoused
the cause Of conservation, was also
pronounced false by President Van
HiSe.

TO MAKE CONCRETE CULVERT
Proper Drainage is Foundation Of
Good Roads-PIan for Making
Substantial Form.

The proper drainage with good Gull
vert is the foundation of good roads.
Concrete stands at the head of the

abutments
Excavate to the depth Of feet and
width Of feet, and the full width Of
the road. Set up and stake in place
two planks or slabs 10 inches wide,
as shown at BIB in the picture. AS
these pieces are to remain in place,
they may be of any ordinary stuff just
good enough to hold the concrete in
place until it sets. These pieces are
set feet at the end where the water
starts in and 51a at the lower emu,
They should have a fall of 1 inch to
each foot in length. Now, put layer
Of concrete inches deep, and hollow
out and smooth down. Raise the side
toward BIB, keeping them in position
as shown in the picture
Set up 10-inch boards &C IS inches
from BIB. This will make the walls
of curvert IS inches thick, and the
opening feet wide at the upper end,
and feet and inches at the lower.
AS the forms are being filled with
concrete, sand or gravel should be
filled in at "a for a core, which after
ward may be shoveled out and earth
filed in behind the outside pieces to
hold it in position.
When the form is filled to the top
of the planks the center, or core,
should be rounded up with sand to
form the arch of opening in the cul-
vert. This sand should be packed
solid and smoothed off nicely SO the
surface of the arch will be smooth. /
A plank should be set up at each
end of the culvert before any concrete
is put in, so the ends will be smooth
and look well. Wings, or side walls
may be built at the same time as the

ABAND0NS HATLESS FAD
Mr.. C. w. Haulenbeek Resumes
Headgear Against His Will.

Mr.. George W. Haulenbeek, notary
public and employee of the law depart
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, has renowned his allegiance to
the hatless brigade, of which he was an
ardent member. He now wears a hat
the same as the majority of men.
Mr.. Haulenbeek admitted yesterday
that his detection from the ranks of
the hatless was due to the attention
and comments he attracted by going
without hat. He is still an advocate
of going bareheaded, but would rather
wear hat than continue to brave the
looks and hear the comments which the
hatless men have to brave.
Notwithstanding that he has resumed
the wearing of hat Mr.. Haulenbeek is
sure that the advocates of no hats are
increasing in number. He said yester-
day that he has noticed that school boys
are beginning to go on the streets with
out hats, and he thinks that by the
time they are adults the prevailing
prejudice against going bareheaded
will have died out.
The family of Mr.. Haulenbeek Spend
nearly the entire year at their cottage
at Deer Park, where MIR. Haulenbeek
joins them for the week ends. Il got
into the habit of going without a hat, -
Mr. Haulenbeek said, from my trips
to Deer Park. When | got on the train
| would take off my hat and would not
put it on again until l reached Deer
Park Going bareheaded was so pleas
ant that gradually got to going bare
headed all the time. 1t certainly was
pleasant, and you can see that the alb
sence of a hat has made my hair grow
finely"
Mr. Haulenbeek finally succumbed to
public attention and criticism. He said
he had been taken for a foorwalker in
department stores when he was hatless,
a lady on one occasion asking. him to
direct her to the department which. sold
women's garments. Mr. Haulenbeek S
friends, to whom he has enthusiastically
related the pleasures of going bare
headed, realize that he is making a
sacrifice in again wearing hat. Bal

PAROLEO BOY IN TOLLS.
william Dewitt Arrested On Charge
of Stealing Hams

William Dewitt, youth of some fiji
teen years of age, was arrested last
Saturday and placed in jail for the ac-
ton of the grand juryEat the June term
of the circuit court charged with steal
ing hams from the Smouse farmhouse a
few miles south of Oakland, where he
was left in charge some time ago while
members of the family were on visit
to neighbors, who found upon their re-
turn that the hams as well as the boy
had disappeared.
Mr.. Smouse suspected that the boy
had made way with the property and
secured a search warrant but before it
could be executed word reached him
that the hams had been brought to Oak
land and sold to Mr.. H. Creutzburg.
The latter turned the property over to
owner as soon as demand was made
upon him, and warrant for DeWitt's
arrest was issued. He was located at
Crellin and his arrest followed.
This is young DeWitt's second exper-
fence in the criminal court. His first
was two or three years ago when he
was arrested and convicted for stealing
a bicycle at!Mountain Lake Park. The
Court taking into consideration the
youthtulness of the boy and his former
good behavior, paroled him.

VIII Have Light Showers iniFirst Part
and Plenty Of Moisture Later.

Peter r. Smith predicts the follow
ing weather for May:
The showers of rain within the month
of May are likely to be scattering and
light, at least so for more than the first
half of the month. AS the latter part
Of the month is reached the showers
will be much more intense. June will
be favored with refreshing showers.
The temperature will change to much
warmer on the End, Bird and 4th with an
increase in cloud formation and grow
ing more dense, with local scattering
rains on transit Reaction to much
cooler will follow the wave Of dis
turbance. Frost Will show up at a
number of localities, both in northern
and central parts.
A storm wave will develop in the
southwest which will move north, show
ing much intensity at many places on
its passage between the Sth and 10th.
The moon changes to new on the 9th
and is at a total eclipse node of the sun
visible in the South Pacific and Indian
oceans. A change to cool nights with
probable frost where conditions favor is
quite likely to come to pass.
May is usually a month which de-
velops a large number of cYclonic
storms. The causes are in the uneven
temperature of the atmosphere origin
ating from the direct and obhque focus
of the sun. Conditions favor these kind
of windstorms on the 18th, 18th and
10Th, and at most periods of May. a
change to cooler temperature after the
18th.
On the 18th, 18th and goth warm
wave will spread over all parts of the
country, which will be followed by a
storm wave which will be develop much
vigor in the southwest as it moves
northeast on its transit. Threatening
clouds will show up in central parts.
After the passage of the wave the
weather will be cool.
A total eclipse of the moon will take
place on the evening of the 23rd and the
morning of the 24th. The moon will
come in contact with the earth's shadow
at 1916 D. M, eastern time; total at

Fire DESTROYED Property.

What might have resulted in very
serious woods fire occurred Monday at
ternoon on the Spiker farm, a mile and
a half south of Oakland when fire broke
out near a saw mill owned by John
Foreman, which is located on the place
and has been engaged for some months
past in manufacturing lumber for
Messrs, Hamill & Matthews, of Oak
land from timber owned by this firm.
The fire had gained considerable head
way and was rapidly approaching the
mill when a number of men from town
went to the scene and by earnest work
succeeded in saving the property, not,
however, until the fire had burned a car
load or more of ties and had caught
among some lumber stacked nearby.
The ties burned belonged to Wallace
Bowser.
