However, he did not leave Lowell

a score of appointments and arrange

that he found himself free to seek the

had wrested from the reluctant assist

Don't you see him enough at race

manager.
Stanton was recalling that interview
as he went up the stairs Of the quiet
apartment house indicated. After all,
it was true that Floyd might have
volunteered his address, himself, if
he had wished it known. Perhaps he
did not want to see his driver unoff-
cially. A sense Of unwelcomeness op-
pressed Stanton, but he kept on his
way. He had never swerved from a
course because of the opinions Of
others; he did not think Of turning
back now.

"Mr Floyd?" he inquired. my

She was so like Floyd that he could

from her long lashes, Floyd's bronze

Preparation of the Garden for
Next Year.

Here are few good plans to put
your garden in the best shape for next
years crops. After the various vege-
tables have ripened and the plants
died, the garden should be plowed. II
you are keeping chickens, 1t would
be we'll to harrow and SOW to vetch
or rape, either of which will give you
a good crop Of green food for the
chickens. This can be planted as late
as August Is. Sow it thickly and give
it plenty of water This crop will
make a good green feed for the chick
ems until it gets too dry and then it
can be cured and made into a water
mash as needed. This makes very
good substitute for the green feed
during winter months.
If you have no chickens, and there
fore have no use for a green feed, we
suggest that you plant the garden to
clover. Glover belongs to the legumin-
Gus class of plants, which put nitrogen
back into the soil. Let this crop grow
until just before frost, then plow it
under. This will enrich the soil and
tighten 1t.
In any event, the garden should be
plowed in the fall, particularly where
the soil Is heavy. This will permit
the frost to break up and decompose
the soil during the winter months.
making the plant foods more avail
able in thf spring. Before planting,
the entireegarden should be gone over
with a disk harrow.
1t will be still better if you will
cover the ground with fertilizer be-
fore blowing. There is nothing better
for this perhaps than good sod, which
accounts for better crops the first
year than later on. Stable manure is
good.
If the soil is very heavy and sour.
put lime on, in the form of air slaked
lime or ground raw lime stone.

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee, even after they know it Is doing
them harm, ia a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give 1t up for good,
when Postum is properly made and
used instead. A girl writes:
Mother had been suffering with
nervous headaches for seven weary
years, but kept on drinking coffee.
"One day asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish, | asked
for taste.
That started me on Postum and |
now drink it more freely than did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now"

THE MISSISSIPPI LEvEE
PROBLEM.

A bigger question than the
Panama Canal stares this govern
ment in the face. We refer to
leveeing the Mississippi river.
Millions have already been spent
and millions more will be spent,
and all with nothing in sight but
experience. There was no guess
work about cutting a big ditch
through a mountain. It was easy
to estimate the cost and the cer-
tainty of the ditch carrying wa
ter enough to float the biggest
vessel built provided the ditch
was wide and deep enough. The
control Of immense bodies Of wa
ter, subject to the fluctuating
certainties of its volume, is a diff
erent proposition. The idea rad-
vanced by Roosevelt and other
theorists about impounding the
volume near the head Of the river
and thereby prevent an overflow
lower down is laughable to a
country boy who has tried to
build dams atthe head of a branch
to think of holding the water Of
the vast river and thereby pre-
vent a full stream below. 1t would
cover the whole area Of a half
dozen of the Northwest states
with water fifty feet deep to per-
ceptibly affect the lower Mississ-
ippi. 1t would take billions Of
dollars to so impound such wa
ter and ruin q number Of good
States in order to save slices Of a
few cypress swamps and lagoons.
But worse than all the levees so
far have done much more damage
than good.
Thousands of plantations once
valuable before the levee system
are now ruined. Damage suits
galore are being filed against the
government for these losses and
appropriations are being asked
for additional damages Of loss of
personal property consequent to
the continual breaking Of the
levees.
The present overflow should
call the attention Of Congress to
a new system or an abandonment
Of the whole scheme.
With no levees the rise is SLOW
and sluggish and never resulted
in great damage, as the people
were prepared to look out for
themselves. Now they are made
to believe in their safety, when
it is only a trap to engulf them.
Lightning, storms and high
floods were never intended to be
harnessed by man. When will
people learn this simple lesson?
