Garden clubs Good Work.

The garden club Of Minneapolis has
shown how simple is the problem of
unsightly vacant lots. Last summer it
succeeded in getting sunf1owers and
other plants to grow on nearly four
miles of street front of vacant land.
This screened the rubbish heaps from
view. In one street the club cleared
every unoccupied lot. and planted
grass and flowers where the rubbish
had been. When the season closed, the
club had under its care a thousand va
cant lot gardens and eighteen thou
sand home gardens.-Youth's Compan-

What was probably the biggest
charge of dynamite ever fired at one
time was due to be let off at Crusher

weeks the company operating at that
point have been drilling a series of
deep holes for this shot. The holes
are in double row and in zig gag or

feet in depth. Each hole has been
carefully sprung and the total number
OF them are loadrd with twenty tons
-fortv thousand pounds-of sixt" per

The management wired A. H. Pal.

would be fired at 2:30 this afternoon.

MAINE ELECTION
ON TAP TO-DAY
FORECASTS BY PARTY LEADERS
DIFFER GREATLY. THE RE-
SUIT NO ONE CAN TELL.

), Portland, Me-, Sept. 9.-Maine,
which, with the exception of Ve'-
mont, is the earliest commonwealth
in the union to hold state elections
during the presidential campaign, Is
voting today for governor, United
States senator, four congressman,
members OF the state Legislature and
county officials. For the past two
weeks both parties have been stump
ing the state and some of the big
gest speakers in the republican and
democratic parties have appealed to
the voters of Maine in behalf OF their
respective tickets.
Forecast by party leaders of the
result of the election differ greatly
Governor Frederick w. Plaisted,
democrat, is opposed for reelection
by William. T. Haines, of Waterloo
republican. The progressives have
not entered separate ticket, it
being generally agreed among the
leaders to unite with the republicans.
The contest for United States sen
ator is between Edwin c. Burleigh,
who represented the third Maine dis
trict in congress for many years,
and the present democratic senator,
Obadiah Gardner, who was named
last spring to succeed William p.
Frye. For many years Mr.. Gardner
was master Of the state grange.
There probably is no man In Maine
so we'll know throughout the rural
section of the state as Senator Gard
! ner, and the feeling Is that he has
made good during the brief time he
has been in Washington.
Not even the seventh son OF sew
enth son can predict what the out
come of today's voting will be. The
congressional candidates have been
making their fight on the tariff; the
gubernatorial candidates have made
their fight on state finances and
good roads, while local issues have
been upon the questions OF temper
ance. conservation Of resources, con-
troll of public service corporations
and the employers liability act
Until two years ago Maine was
considered solidly republican, and
the change in sentiment was noted
by the increase or decrease OF the
size of her majorities. Two years
ago the democrats carried the state,
electing the governor, two congress
men, both branches Of the legislature
and a large majority Of the county
officers.
The democrats are In power, and
have the machinery Of government
at their command. They realize
that should they be turned down by
the voters it would likely be years
before they could return TO power
This is not all they are fighting FOR
however, for in November comes the

LAUNDRY HINTS

1t Is n of the most trying ordeals
for the pms who does her W laun-
dry work to go from a hot room filed
with steam and vapor to the chilling
and bitter winds outside. After being
put through the wringer every piece
should be carefully shaken out, and
all pieces Of the same kind placed to-
gether. IF clothes are put into the
basket in proper order and condition
the work of hanging them out is re-
duced at least one-half. They also dry
in better shape and are easier to iron.
Clothes pressed into folds in the
wringer, then hung upon the line still
in wrinkles and dried that way, are ex-
ceedingly troublesome when they reach
the ironing board. 1t is an axiom of
the h-ousekeeper that work properly
begun is half DONE" Certainly the
laundress who filings clothes on the line
regardless of the shape in which they
dry has lost sight of future advantages
that may come from a better way of
handling.
