Marion Harland And Dame Curtsey

For more than half century Mar
ion Harland has been writing on
housewifely themes and answering the
questions Of women in a clear and
kindly way that has made her name
beloved from one end Of the land to
the other. Many who read her CHEEKY
and helpful page every week in The
Sunday Chicago Record Herald have
no idea that she is III years old, for
she still writes with all the vigor and
|discernment of woman of half her
years. Huge as the task may seem,
she gives her personal attention to
the vast correspondence that her posi-
tion of expert adviser on household
topics involves. and every question is
answered directly by her. No other
department Of The Sunday Record
Herald is more universally popular
than hers.
Another department that pushes it
closely, however, is Dame Curtsey s
Novelties n Entertainment, which
has been hailed with joy by thousands
Of hostesses who feel the need Of new
ideas. Dame Curtsey, whose real name
is Ellye Howell Glover, seems to have
a genius for inyenting fresh schemes
for decorations, menus, games and all
the details that lend zest to dinners
and entertainments. She also answers
questions pertaining to etiquette and
good taste, and otherwise furnishes
just the information SO often sought
vainly by women.
| When it is added that the Sunday
Magazine of The Record Herald is full
Of good stories and articles as inte-
resting to women as to men, it is easy
to see why that paper IS the favorite
among women.

u0RE CHAT ON
IRRIGATION
Manager Stockton Of the Lower Yellowstone
Project Gives Hints for Spring Work.

apart and about Is inches apart in the
rows, which allows Of cultivating.
About 500 pounds of seed is required
per acre and should be planted 4 to
inches deep. The cultivation and irri-
cation are most important, especially
the cultivation. Buffum, in his book
on Arid Agriculture, says Immediate
ly after plowing to cultivate deeply
and close to the rows, following with
the harrow to level the soil and estab-
lish mulch. Just before the plants
come through the ground give a sec
ond narrowing, slanting the teeth of
the harrow backward. When the
plants are 4 or 5 inches high, again
cultivate deep and near the rows. At
ter this the potatoes should be culti-
waited every week or ten days, run
ming the cultivation shovels farther
from the plants as they grow larger,
and throwing the soil toward the rows.
Each irrigation should be followed
by shallow cultivation until the vines
get SO large as to prevent, when they
will shade the ground and the baking
and cracking is not SO apt to occur.
Ordinarily potatoes should not be irri-
gated until the young tubers are set on
the vines, which brings the first irri-
gation at about the time of blooming.
Deep bitches should be made be-
tween the rows with double wing
pillow. The first irrigation may be
light, running the water in every 9th
er row, and thenin a week or ten days
more good head of water should be
run through the rows not irrigated che
first time. In another week or ten days
give the ground good irrigation, run
ming water through each row, but do
not let it stand too long. Never let
the water touch the plant at any time
and do not use more water than neces-
sary to produce . steady growth. Too
much water will make a soggy potato.
The soil and season determine to a
great extent when irrigation is bene-
fetal, but it is important with both
grain and rowed crops to begin irrl-
eating before the rainy season is over
Showers that do not wet the ground
down more than or inch do not
take the place Of irrigation in making
large crop. Irrigation in rainy or
cloudy weather does more good il that
there is no danger Of sun scald and less
liability Of baking and cracking after
ward. Good irrigators always start
before the crop is quite ready, espec-

County Fairs And The Breeding
OF Harness Horses

The demand for high class racing.
material among harness horse en-
thuslasts was never better than at
present and prices for trotters and
PAGERS that have demonstrated
stake class were never higher. Tn
view Of the curtailment in the way
Of betting, this condition may seem
to the casual observer somewhat
strange, but it must be remembered
that betting has never PLAYED the
part on the harness turf that it has
on the thoroughbred turf.
The county fairs have done much
to give harness horses a large earn
ing capacity apart from the betting
angle, and the growth OF the fair
idea is fast taking root in the small
er towns.
The majority Of city residents
came originally from either small
towns or from the country and they
retain their love for animals as we'll
as pleasant memories of the good
old county fair back home.
The American people love horse
racing, but prudishness keeps many
from indulging in its pleasures. A
fair, save betting, offers no obiec-
tionable features to the most puri-
tanical person, and this accounts for
the large patronage given to fairs.
Father" il he be an ardent church
member, is apt to taboo the circus,
"but it seems too bad to denv the
children the pleasure Of going, SO
he eunbends'' and passes into the
tented arena. Down in his heart
Father" good man that he is,
knows himself to be hypocrite but
this knowledge does not detract
from the pleasure the circus pro-
vides him.
So it is with the good people who
attend fairs. Horse racing IS
wicked" but the fair is perfectly
proper. Presumably the vast hordes
that attend fairs have in mind only
the live stock. farm exhibits, ETC.,
but you will find 50 per cent of the
attendants occupying the most ad-
vantageous position when the first
heat Of the afternoon is called. Per-
haps the grand stand is filled to its
capacity, thus necessltatlng the
eager ones standing all afternoon
near the track enclosure, but there
you will find them till the shades Of
evening draw on. Stolen sweets are
always the most desirable, and this
fact accounts for the interest taken
in harness racing at fairs by those
who look askance at the sport.
The county fairs attract enor-
nous crowds, and it is not unusual
to find more than 100,O00 persons on

Does your letter mean that if
satisfactory reply is not received a
strike will be called?" Mr.. Carter
was asked.
''It looks pretty grave" he said.
1--WE are nearer a disagreement
than we have ever been during the
whole six weeks of conferences. We
do not want a strike. We want the
public to understand that. AS to
our authority to strike, we have the
vote Of more than 80 per cent of
the men in favor Of it. All the ans
Wers we have received from the
managers heretofore have been eva

so.

had agreed to stand pat" and,
while refusing any concessions,
probably would invite the brother
hoods committee to another confe-
renee tomorrow.
After conferring with Mr.. Nixon,
O. L. Dickson, assistant to the pres
ident of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road, gave out the following
statement:
We have received Mr.. Carter's
letter, which, to the )ayman who is
not thoroughly familiar with the
methods of labor organizations,
would appear to be somewhat seri-
Gus, and to point to a strike | wish
to say that this is merely one Of the
methods unfortunately invoked in
conducting such negotiations and it
is not likely that the men would
sanction the action of their leaders
in calling a strike over one or two
technical points. We do not feel
the slightest apprehension. The
managers probably will make ans
wer to the firemen's committee and
We hope for a peaceful adjust
ment. =

RULES Misunderstood
Violations by Not Having

Should the government see fit to

In the Jurisdiction of this port for the
past month, they would aggregate
$21,650. This is the result of the
diligent efforts of Inspector S. M.
He Is working to have enforced the
act relative to equipment of motor
boats, passed June 8 and becoming
effective July 8, of this year.
Most of the violations of that act
are in disobedience Of the sections
pertaining to the equipment of life
preservers and fire extinguishers on
boats less than sixty-fve feet In
length. The wording of the act In
that respect seems to be misunder-
stood by owners Of motorboats.
Section reads: THAT every mo-
torboat and also every vessel pro-
PEELED by machinery other than by
steam, more than sixty-five feet In
length, shall carry ready for immedi-
ate use the means of promptly and
effectually extinguishing burning
gasolene." At the beginning of the
act is written: THAT the words
motor boat where used In this act
shall include every vessel propelled
by machinery and not more than
sixty-five feet in length except tug
boats and tow boats propelled by
steam"
Every motor boat, no matter what
size, must carry life preserver for
every person aboard and sufficient
means of extinguishing fire. In the
latter case coarse -four, sand or q
prepared fire extinguisher is recon-
mended.
All vessels twenty-eight feet long
and under, known as Glass 1, must
carry two sets of pilot and lighi
rules, life preservers for every per
son, whistle and fire extinguishine
material. Vessels over twenty-siz
feet and under forty feet In length
known as Glass No 2, must carry two
sets of the pilot and light rules, a
whistle, bell and horn, life preservers
for each person and fire extinguish-
ing material. Vessels over forty feet
and under sixty feet in length
known as Glass No. 3, must carry
two sets OF pilot and light rules, life
preservers or ring buoys for every
passenger, whistle, horn and bell
eight inches in diameter at the
mouth. All vessels carrying passen-
gers and freight must be In charge OF
licensed officer. All whistles on
boats Of the foregoing sizes must be
capable of holding a blast of at least
two seconds duration.
In other cases the rules have not
been understood, 1t appears, and
therefore seventy-seven violations
have been discovered by Inspector
Coutts thus far. 1t Is doubtful that
the full penalty will be imposed in
each case, as in most instances the
boats are held liable and may be sold
and oftentimes their value Is less
than the fines imposed.

New Brunswick, Oct. 4:-This
city had a holiday today that was
not on the calendar. The business
houses to large extent closed at 10
o'clock and there were no sessions
In the public schools In order that
all, young and old, might have an
opportunity of witnessing the bien-
NAL parade of the New Brunswick
fire department. There were over
1000 firemen in line with a score of
bands and teams drawing fire ap-
paratus polished SO that it glistened
in the sun. The parade moved
shortly after 10 o'clock and lasted
for nearly four hours.
New Brunswick takes particular
pride In it's firemen and the city is
much interested in the parade which
gives the volunteers an opportunity
to show themselves and their appa-
ratus. The city makes an appropria-
tion of $500 for the event and the
citizens contributed over $1,000 by
popular subscription. This money
is used to defray the expenses of the
celebration, all of the local compa-
nies entertaining guests during the
day and giving banquets.
For two weeks decorators have
been at work getting the city in gala

The line of march this year was
longer than usual, in order to take

siderable attention is given by the
Board of Engineers to the line of
march as there is a custom here
handed down from the time of the
first parade, that the line of march
has to include every street on which
the fire houses are located and the
home of the fire chiefs. These are
scattered about the city with the re-
suit that the parade is stretched out
in miles considerably and there are
many tired feet after the march is
over. A person standing at the cor
ner of George and Paterson streets
could see the parade pass him twice
and three times within q block of
that point.

WILSON TELLS
WHAT HE'D DO
Enthusiastic Rally Was Held
In Trenton Last Night by
the Democrats.
SCORES THE REPUBLICANS

Trenton, Oct. 4:-If he is elected
governor of New Jersey, Woodrow
Wilson will habitually employ the
Hughes plan of appealing directly to
the people On legislative matters. He
best received speech he has made
since his campaign for republican as
well as democratic votes, began.
DR.. Wilson did not name Governor
Hughes but after he had been
cheered with fine disregard for the
5000 sets of vocal chords In the
Taylor opera house and the whole
extraordinary audience of college
professors, students, laborers, fami-
lies and just man had stood while
the band played "Old Nassau" he
launched straight forth.
"You want to know what l shall
try to do" he began with quiet
vigor. my opponent. Mr.. Lewis,
who accepted the republican nomi-
nation on his this very platform, as
accepted mine, said that IL elected
he would aim to be constitutional
governor I take 1t he means that
he would never in the least attempt
to coerce anybody, and especially a
Legislature. He would content him
self with addressing the lawmakers
assembled and then while they dis
cussed the subjects he proposed he
would sit inactiYely by. I can't see
that. l am used to talking to other
people.
Now there are various forms Of
coercion, and some are immoral. To
coerce by the threat of withholding
patronage is immoral. 1t is dishon-
orable and therefore immoral to go
to a legislators home district and
there scheme and eonspire against
him and so bring him to your feet.
But in coercion, to give 1t the
out and out name, an honorable way
exists, and IL you elect me l will take
1t. am going to take every import
ant legislative matter and stump the
state with 1t to find out how you
hink regarding 1t. There is nothing
immoral in that.
Now as for the legislators side
of this Or the politicians side, am
not such good talker that they
need be afraid of my eloquence.
Therefore the only thing they need
fear is my opinion. And opinions,
to revert to Mr.. Lewis's aim, are
not unconstitutional in this coun-
try"
You should have heard them
cheering. There was a madness in
their method auguring well for DR..
