Prof. William r. Beattie Lectures
on the Subject.

1.-The Home Vegetable Garden was
the subject OF q lecture by Prof. Will
liam r. Beattie, assistant horticulturist
of the Department of Agriculture. at the
Y. M. C. A. last evening. His talk was
illustrated. The speaker said that while
he was heartily in favor Of the back
to the land movement" the people who
go back should understand the land.
1.-THE movement cannot be depended
on to solve the feeding Of the masses"
he said. There are many families. how
ever, that might have q garden from
which it would be possible to obtain a
large portion Of their living"
Among the things advised by the
speaker for the gardener were:
The application of fertilizers and ma
nure is absolutely essential.
Stick to the common, well known va
rieties of vegetables rather than run
after novelties of uncertain value
Avoid frequent sprinkling of plants
with garden hose, but irrigate thorough
~ when needed.
Frequent cultivation Is the keynote to
success in the garden.
Prof. Gould Is to speak next week on

SAVING ON
new BRIDGE

In accordance with its advertise
meni the board OF county commission
ers on September 9TH opened the bids
fled with the clerk for the construc-
tion OF the proposed new steel bridge
across the Arkansas river at Wells
Vile in the western part of the coun-
ty. but rejected oil OF them as being
too high. There were eight bids and
the prices varied from s6.7S5 to $3.50,
all Of which were regarded as extor-
tionate by the commissioners for the
work to be done
On Wednesday Of this week Commis-
sioner La Grange received a bid from
a firm OF local contractors to build
the wellsville bridge according to the
original specifications for the sum Of
SO $50, a saving of $4,000 from the low
est bid made by the foreign bridge
companies two weeks ago. The local
firm will get the contract. although
the ssard will not be made until the
return of Commissioner Alfred from
Eureka Springs. Arkansas, where he
is at present suffering from typhoid
fever. A couple of years ago the
present board 'of county commission
ers saved the taxpayers between $4,000
and $4,000 in making a contract for
the construction of two fifty-foot steel
bridges from the best prices obtain

panies by going into the open market
and purchasing the necessary st sel
and awarding the construction work 80

a combination among the bridge coIn-
panies to MAINTAIN high prices and IT
no time has their graft been moce
apparent than in their bids for the
wellsville structure.
The wellsville bridge is TO have al
