TWO SMALL BOYS IN GARDEN
John and Frank Brown of Clyde, Kan,

ing Vegetables.

Here Is the garden story of two lit
tie boys at Clyde, Kan, their picture
and wagon load of their prize win
ming produce, grown on plot of
ground 100 by 40 feet.
John and Frank Brown are eight
and ten years old. Their father is
travelling salesman. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown and the boys became interest
ed summer before last in garden sto-
ries. The boys attended the meet
ings of the farmers institute arranged
by the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege through it's agricultural extension
department, and they listened to every
suggestion
Mrs. Brown encouraged the boys in
every way when they announced one
day their intention Of cultivating the
the one adjoining It. She hired a man
to pillow and harrow the ground and
she bought two dollars forth of seed.
AT this point the boys showed much
concern. They knew that land needed
enriching, some one had said so, and
they couldn't afford to have 1t done
II would cost too much. The boys haul
ed manure for days. after school hours,
until the whole 100 feet had fairly
satisfactory covering.
Then In the spring they planted the
seed and through the long vacation, In
the hottest weather, they toiled like
men. wedding and cultivaing and ped
ding their surplus vegetables from the
tin wagon.
When the farmers institute Of Clyde
met, John and Frank loaded the wagon
with choice samples from their garden
and went to the meeting The farm
ers we're surprised. No provision had
been arranged for such an exhibit, but
the officers of the institution gave the
boys silver dollar and their apprs-
baton. and told them how proud they

that weren't afraid of work
The boys put $12 In the bank, the
result of their peddling. and they sup

family cellar contained for winter use:
one and one-half bushels of popcorn,
one bushel of beets. three-fourths bush

twelve or fifteen pumpkins. and a lot
of cabbages. There were enough
canned tomatoes to keep the family

OcWs,s Surnlise.

If Henry Clews, a New York
banker, is correct in his last weekly
letter in surmfsing that there is a
deadlock of four to four of the
United States supreme court on the
trust cases before It and that JUS
tice Van Devanter declines to sit in
the cases, there will Cbe no decision
until the deadlock is broken. Con-
corning this. Mr.. Clews says in his
letter, 'ethe delay in announcing the
trust decisions has suggested dead
lock of four to four in the court. l
have no direct Information that
such is the case, but it will be re-
membered that Mr.. Justice, Van
Devanter was one of the four judges
VINO unanimously decided against
the Standard oil Company in the
st. louis decision from which the
present appeal to the supreme court
was taken. NIr. Justice Van De-
vanter will, it is understood, very
properly decline to take part in the
decision of the higher tribunal OF
which he has recently become
member, and the court, for the pur-
nose of the trust decisions, is thus
reduced to eight members"
Should Justice Van Devanter not
act in the cases, there will he no
decisions until after the deadlock is
broken or until change in the per-
sonnet of the court has taken place.
and in the meantime no decisions
means victory for the trusts.
1T is hardly TO be presumed how
ever, that Mr.. clews Is correct in the
belief or assertion that Justice Van
,Devanter properly holds aloof from
the cases. The fact that he acted
in the cases before they and he got
to the supreme court might under
ordinary circumstances be ground
for his not participating, but II
there is really a deadlock as Mr.
,CIews suggests the situation Is an
extraordinary one and 1t certainly IS
one of sufficiently vital Importance
to extend beyond the usual ethics OF
the court.
1t would be most unfortunate, in
deed, for the court to have situaa-
ton which blocks its own opera
ton.
