ALate e Vegetable Garden.

Putting the emphasis on the word
"early" in planning the vegetable gar
den, is giving only one side of a question
which certainly has another side. 1t is
natural to crave the earliest peas and
other vegetables, and worth while to
take the risk of trying those that will
bear considerable cold, as soon as the
ground is fit for working. But for real
economy of time and labor, a late garden
generally comes in ahead Of an early one.
The risk of re-plantiug Is less, and the
chances of rapid and vigorous growth
greater when a garden may fairly be
called late ip planting. Most vegetables
are better when grown quickly, and
most vegetables grow slowly as long as
the ground Is chilly and subject to sharp
variations of weather.
A friend who Is an enthusiastic gar
dener goes to the opposite extreme and
never allows her garden to be touched
at all In the 'first favorable days" On
the contrary, some time in May, when
the ground is we'll warmed and danger
of frost is considered past, her garden
is "made" with admirable system and
neatness. Most of the vegetables are

and precision that when the rows oil
young plants appear it is almost as
decorative as IL grown for show only.
But it is not q failure in results. All
the usual summer vegetables grow lux
uriantly and produce gratifying yield.
The experience Of many years has prov
ed that garden on this plan may be
complete success in its way and give
more satisfaction to It's owner than any
other.
Another friend was ordered south by
his physicisn two or three years ago,
and unable to risk the change Of climate
until very late in the spring. He told
me afterward OF the garden that be made
and planted after June lat, and 1t was
simply astonishing to hear his accoun,
of the productiveness Of that garden ano
of the baskets of produce that be carried
TO his friends.
The early garden, II successful, Is sp'
to be source of pride, but there Is nc
need of giving up In despair II from any
cause It Is late and no garden made
The eleventh hour is slow in arriving IL
gardening. 1t is hardly ever too late Il

retary Norton, now called the room
clerk, says accommodations are suf-
ficent, and Secretary Nagel declares
the meals are all that could be de-

his appetite on glaciers and feasted
on fresh salmon for two months.
Tie president has found the plan
very successful, and much work has

meetings twice a week.
President Taft and the members oi
his cabinet continued the process o1

departments for the next fiscal year
No announcement was made of the
result of two days parings. but i
is known that the president has strons
hopes now of holding the total esti
/
mates within the figures presented las

ELECTRIC TOWER
TO BE BUILT
One Firm is to Pay $4,000 Per Year
For Its Share Of Space on
the Structure.

NEW YORK, Sept. "a group OF
ST. Louis capitalists have invaded
New York city with brand new idea.
They have put up two-hundred foot
tower at Broadway and For4y-second
street, the center of New York's night
life. exclusively for electric advertis-
ing signs. 1t is the only thing of the
kind ever seen hereabouts.
Some of the dignif1ed citizens who
have decided opinions on high art
are inclined to be peevish about the
Heidelberg Tower as 1t is called.
They say it is not pretty and ought
to be removed But it's too late now;
the Building Department gave the
necessary permits, and the work is
practically done.
The queer structure rises from
the top of six-story building on
million-dollar plot of ground. The
walls are unbroken by windows
they are simply blank surfaces. Only
fireproof materials have been used
The frame is steel, and the walls are
of the same kind of hollow terra cot
ia blocks used for most of Manhat
tan's skyscrapers.
These blocks passed through
temperature of 1000 degrees Fab
renheit in process of manufacture
and were also subjected to elaborate
strength tests. The walls had to be
I absolutely unburnable. because the
wires running about them Will carr,
thousands Of volts of electricity.
Already the canny Westerners have
4 leased the tower space to an adver
tising contractor for s60,000 a year
And the contractor is to get $4,000
a year from one sign that Is now II
place So everybody concerned seem
to be we'll pleased--except the citl
zens with opinion on art.
