mittee was appointed to recommend to
the full committee a plan for opening
streets and alleys through the prop

John +. Sheppard and Colonel 10
Lane Stern. attorney for the property
owners, submitted to the committee a
scheme. by the terms of which they
agreed to dedicate to the city sufficient
land for the extension OF West, Cleve-
land and Tilden Streets northward
from Monument Avenue. They declined,
however. to make these streets more
than thirty feet wide. whereas the same
streets south of Monument Avenue
have width of fifty feet.
The plan submitted by the property
owners provided also for the closing

Enthusiasts.

The flower gardens and the florists
are going to cut n very large figure
in the displays OF Fashion Week that
VIII begin in great shape on Septem-
Der 90 and keep on going unto and
entirely through September 26.
Richmond would be a desert were it
not for it's flower gardens and its
florists farms. Almost In the very
nature of the case. the florists and the
flower garden people are retailers and
as such they are very much in evil
dence in the Retail Merchants Assoc
citation.
Broad Street would not be and could
not be the great retail street that it
Is II there were not strung along it's
borders the charming and beautiful
floral dispensaries that make certain
parts of the great retail street flower
gardens that arc worth going many
miles to see. Some of these could be
named. but it Is not necessary; they
speak for themselves. and speak out
every day In the week.
The florists and the flower garden
people are going to be very much lin
evidence during Fashion Week. AS n
matter of fact. they are already in
evidence. because all OF tho other re-
tailers have to decorate. and flowers
and evergreens and all the like of that
are important parts of the decoration
business
Tho florists. however, are going to
do some decorating OF their own, be-
cause they are retailers all right, and
they are right In the retailers opening
week and Fashion Show business. and
no members of the Retail Merchants
Association arc more enthusiastic than
are tho florists and the flower garden
people.
Mr. Radcliffe. tho chairman of tho
committee that Is to look after the
florist end of tho Fashion Week Show
business. tells the man of news that
the flower makers are going to be right
In the swim. and that they are not
only going to make all the other places
OF the retailers attractive. but they arc
going to show to the army Of visitors
TO Richmond during Fashion Week that
the flower business of little old, solid
old Richmond is something worth
thinking about. The flower folks arc
very much In tho retail business. and
they arc going to make a show during

Five companies must be added to the

General w. w. Sale. In order to re-

MES each. AS there IL an enormous
amount or routine work and 4 largo

equippinG new company, Adjutant-
General Sale is not looking forward
10 the next two or three months as
anything like q holiday. \ number of
locations are under discussion for the
new companies 1t has been suggested
that one be located In South Rich

Vive several companies in different

Armory Matter Problem.
The most serious problem in tho or
Sanization of new company is that
of an armory. Where the military or
Banization is new and tho community
has not seen its valuo as an adjunct
to the local police In times Of disorder
II proves difficult to enlist interest in
the erection Of adequate armories by
the cities or towns. Neither the gov
eminent nor the Adjutant-General can
encourage the issuance OF army stores
and supplies where there is not some
proper place for their storage and
keep. In the wintertime most of the
drilling OF new company would be
done indoors. neccssitating for a sin

approximately 60 by 100 to 12O feet,

Company for Southside.
AS Richmond has in recent years
provided three large expensive armo-
rics in the older section of the city
the Adjutant- General is quite hopeful
that ii will shortly provide a one com
pany armory in the Southside, where
the company could be attached either
to the local battalion of the First Regi-
mcnt or to some other command. Main
tenance of one company with equip
ment on the Southside. it is stated,
would be n strong adjunct TO tho po-
lice force in time of serious disturb
ance.
General Sale believes that the state
is amply able to support the thirty
six companies Of infantry proposed in
the organization of the First Brigade
into three full regiments OF twelve
companies each though he may ask
that the time for recruiting the five
additional companies be extended.

OIL TRACTION DOES THE
WORK OF MANY MULES

On his magnificent estate near Ne
apolis, one of the finest farms in Mid
die Tennessee, J. B. Martin is demon
strating the value and efficiency of an
oil tractor for breaking and preparing
land especially at this season of the
year when the heat and drouth make
1t especially trying on stock to break
land. 1t is so hot and in many por-
lions of the country SO dry that the
breaking of land is almost impossible.
Horses and mules cannot stand full
days work.
But Mr.. Martin is having no trouble
with such problems. He is breaking
his land now and doing it we'll. Not
only that while he breaks the land he
also prepares the seed bed. Seated
on an oil tractor Mr.. Martin is blowing
with disc plows a swarth exactly four
feet wide and from eleven to thirteen
inches deep. Not only that but the
same tractor that pulls the pillow is also
pulling a harrow that prepares this
land for the seed. He is doing the
work that would require four mule
teams of twelve mules each to do the
blowing and half as many more to do
the narrowing. And one man is doing
what six would be required to do the
old way.
The land is titled deeper than would
hardly be possible with horse power
at this time. Mr.. Martin is a progress
sive farmer, one of the most success

SENATORS NELSON AND cLAPP
DENY STATEMENTS MADE BY
THE LOBBYIST.

Washington. July 22.-Statements of
Martin M. Mulhall we're denied last
night by Senators Nelson and Clapp of
Minnesota before the senate lobby in
vestigators. In letters read into the
record yesterday, Mulhall had told of
conversations with Senator Nelson, a
member of the lobby committee, re-
garding the rejection of a bill amend
ing the Sherman antitrust law. In
1909 Nelson was chairman of the sub
committee which rejected the bill. In
one letter Mulhall claimed that he was
introduced to Senator Clapp by Nelson
and said he talked to both regarding
the arrest of decision under the Sher-
man act. He said Nelson told him
of committee proceedings and detailed
the membership vote.
Senator Nelson last night said he did
not recollect seeing Mulhall and would
not have related what transpired be-
fore the judiciary committee. He said
Mulhall might have talked to his clerk
who didn't recollect seeing Mulhall in
Nelson's room and didn't remember
ever having seen Mulhall. He had
been trying to recall whether he ever
met him. Senator Clapp said he didn't
recollect ever seeing Mulhall or being
introduced to him by Nelson.
Mulhall sal dhe did not influence the
committees report at adjust talked
to Nelson about 1t.

Tomorrow's election will give Ar
kansas the rather unique distinction
of having five governors in 1918. The
