PLANTING THE VEGETABLE
GARDEN-NOT EARLY.

1t is not always advantageous to
plant the garden as early as possible.
Under certain conditions Nature has
tens the growth of late planted seeds
so that the difference in time of their
ripening will not accord with the diff
ference in paintings. This is particu-
larly the case when the season is late
and rainy.
Plant for succession of the diff
ferent vegetables. A garden in which
most of the planting is done at about
the same time will not give as good
results as where a period of time
elapses between the second, third or
fourth paintings of the same vegeta-
bles. Particularly is this true of peas,
says Farm and Home. Where num-
Der of different varieties were tried
the best results were obtained from
one or two varieties planted in sue
cession.
In sweet corn, however, this was
not so apparent. 1t was found best
to rely on several varieties as well as
successive paintings. If the season
was backward or the paintings made
unusually early, sweet corn seemed
to be very slow in growth. On the
other hand, the corn planted later
would grow very fast under favorable
conditions and almost catch up with
the first paintings. To overcome this
difficulty it was found advisable to
rely on the paintings of different va
rieties.

nation welcomed the visitors who are
here today for the seventh Interna-
tional Congress on tuberculosis. The
formal welcome meeting will be held
tomorrow, when the congress will be
opened, and the sessions will con-
tinue daily through next week.
Americas official delegates are DR..
Henry Barton Jacobs, of Baltimore,
secretary of the National American
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis; Dr. Livings-
ton Farrand of New York, executive
secretary of that association; DR..
Charles L. Greene, of st. Paul, Mimi,
DR.. G. Walter Holden of Denver, Colo,
DR.. Gerald B. Webb of Colorado
Springs, Colo, and William H. Bald
win of Washington, all directors of
the National Association of the Uni
ted States.
DR.. Farrand will present the official
report for the United States, in which
he will show that great progress has
been made in that country in the war
fare on the white plague which is now
being waged in all lands. DR.. Webb
is the clinical representative of the
United States. An extensive exhibit
showing what the United States has
accomplished in tuberculosis work is
one of the most interesting features
of the great international gathering.
Hundreds of the most distinguished
physicians and sanitarians of Europe
are here for the congress, and France,
England, Germany, Austria and Japan
are particularly well represented.
Mayor Nathan of Rome will welcome
the visitors to the Eternal City tomor-
row, and it is likely that King Victor
Emmanuel will give a state reception
in their honor during the convention.

NEAR-STRlkE AMONG
JACKSON CHAUFFEURS
Objected to Brewers Black Driver,
Who Was Displaced in Parade
BY White Man.

Jackson, Miss, April IA near
strike among the chauffeurs of Jack
son ccurred Thursday afternoon just
prior to the street parade that marked
the opening of the baseball season in
the Cotton States league.
The trouble was started by Bob
Jones, supervisors of cars on the
street arilway system, who had con-
tributed the use of his automobile for
the parade, and strenuously objected
to taking part in the pageant if Gov
ernor Brewers auto, which was sec
ond in line, was to be driven by a ne
gro chauffer. He endeavored to in
duce other car owners and chauffeurs
to join with him in the process, but
before the rebellion was fully launch
ed Governor Brewer heard of it, and
quietly placed a white driver in his
car, the colored employee returning to
the executive mansion.
While negro chauffeurs are not
numerous in Jackson they are by no
means a novelty. Former State SEN
ator Hebron has employed one for the
past two years, and it is the rule rath-
er than the exception, to employ negro
chauffeurs in the delta. When Gov
Brewer came to Jackson in January
he brought his negro driver with him.

PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARIES.

Philadelphia, April 13-No state of
the union has had fiercer struggle
for national delegates between the
Taft and Roosevelt forces than Penn
sylvania, and the victory will be de-
cided by the voters in today's district
primaries. Fierce fights have been
waged in nearly all of the thirty-two
districts of the state. The Pennsyl-
yania primary law provides for what
amounts almost to a presidential pref
erence primary, since it states that
each candidate for delegate to the
national convention shall have the
right, by filing a request with the
county commissioners, to have print
ed at the right of his name upon the
official ballot, in the space provided
for that purpose, the name of the can
didate whom he will support in the
convention" In this city and in Pitts
burg the battling Republican factions
have rival tickets in the field.
The Democrats have also carried

gates, the primaries will decide who
are to be the candidates of both par
ties for Congress, the state senate and

POSTOFF|CE DEPT. NEEDS
A THOROUGH OVERLAPPING

Washington, April 13.-The Postof-
flee Department, under the manage
ment of Postmaster General Hitch
cock, needs a thorough overhauling.
What the department needs is bust
ness system.
At the close of the Civil War the
total annual revenue of the postoftice
was $14,556,15S.70; last year it was
$237,64S, 920.6S. The per capita reve-
nue. was in 1865 AZ cents; it is now
$3.50.
The one cent per pound rate for
second-class matter-which covers
weekly and daily newspapers and
magazines-did not go into effect I'M
til 1886. Up to that time there was
only limited circulation for newspa-
pers because of the high postage. 1t
is significant that coincidently with
the postage reduction for newspapers
in 1886 the revenues of the Postorfice
department began to increase rapid
ly.
In the next twenty years the per
capita revenue jumped to $1.20, an

CIGAR STORE KEEPER
NEEDS TO ADVERTISE.

The following is an editorial taken
from recent issue of The Tobacco
Leaf, New York, which is regarded
as the representative organ of the ci-
/ gar and tobacco trade.
The Tobacco Leaf. in common with
every other publication, believes in adj
vertising. Unlike every other publica-
! ton, its advocacy of advertising is not
confined to commenting exclusively
the mediumship of it's own columns.
This paper has always been a hearty
exponent of the idea of cigar dealers
advertising in their local papers. Ad-
vertising ought to be Just as much
of feature with the cigar retailer
as 1t is with the cigar manufacturer.
By that we mean that it should re-
ceive the same careful consideration
and should be utilized to the same ex-
tent-relatively, of course. to the
amount of capital invested in the bus
mess.
1t goes without saying that trade
paper is not the medium for the CT
gar retailer His advertising must
get before the consumer, and his best
medium is unquestionably the dailies
In his own town.
The cigar dealer must bear in mind
the fact, however that he cannot ad-
vertise profitably unless he advertises
judiciously. Judicious advertising
consists mainly of keeping his allotted
space filled with interesting messages
to the public and with reading matter
regularly changed and prepared as
carefully as he would trim his window
or clean his store.
For year or two past we have pub
lished in The Tobacco Leaf sugges-
tons that might be helpful to the
cigar dealer in writing advertise
ments of this nature. We have heard
of the good results of these sugges-
tons in no uncertain terms, from
various parts of the country, and we
have good evidence that cigar dealers
everywhere are gradually awakening
to the Importance of local advertis-
ing
To further stimulate the movement
1t has been decided by the publishers
of this paper to offer a monthly prize
for the best retail cigar advertise
ment compiled, and an announcement
giving the details of the competition
will be found in another column of
this issue.
1t is believed that the prize to be
given is one that will appeal to every
cigar storekeeper, and that the compe-
tition itself will not only serve to en-
courage the retailers to develop this
feature of their business, but it will
bring to light some of the best efforts
in ad. writing, which will be publish
ed in The Tobacco Leaf, and which
will undoubtedly serve as guide and
an inspiration to hundreds Of dealers
who are not so well gifted in the art
of compiling matter for publication.

increase of 100 cents, as against "a
cents in the preceding twenty years.
This great increase of revenue came
largely from second-class mails. There
was a natural increase in other class
es of mail, but in only small degree
did it figure in this rapid growth of
revenue. The total weight of second
class mail in 1886 was 110,000,000
pounds. In 1911 it was S93,0000,000
pounds, an increase in twenty-five
years of over 500 per cent.
These figures tell the story of the
beneficial results growing out of a
cheap postage rate.
There are abuses of the second
class mail privileges, but if the De-
partment would use but a small part
of the nergy for eliminating abuses
that it is expanding in the effort to
increase second-class postage it would
do better.
The legitimate publications to en-
joy the second-class privileges are the
weekly country papers, the daily pa
pers, certain legitimate trade and
