A CLOSED MILL
Even the Foreign Employees Scented
the Effect Of the Underwood
Bill Before II Was
Passed

TENDER 3, reads:
The Globe Wooden Company's big
mill in this city, employing 1000 per-
sons is to close indefinitely, accord
ing to an announcement by Arthur
B. Maynard, secretary and treasur-
err Of the company, who gives as the
reason the stagnation of the wooden
business, due to the proposed new
tariff law.
Mr.. Maynard said the company had
no orders to fill, which left but one
course open. For several days there
rave been persistent rumors that
the American Wooden Company had
purchased the big Utica mill, which
Is one of the city's oldest and larg-
est industries, but Mr.. Maynard said
there was nothing in the stories.
Doesn't Mr.. Maynard know that
President Wilson has portable glib
bet upon which he is to hang higher
than Hannah any man who gives the
sacred tariff bill as the reason for
curtailment of production or reduc-
ton of wages? Mr.. Maynard will
soon learn from free trade editors
that he is entirely wrong in his con-
illusions. School teachers know more
about the tariff and its relations to
the wooden business than do managers
and owners Of mills, and tariff reform
newspapers know more than school
teachers in this line.
There may be plenty Of speculation
for none is barred In analyzing and
descanting upon another's business;
but there Is one concrete fact which
forecloses guessing-the mills are
shut DOWN, they have no orders and
the workmen are idle.
Why?
The American people are as desir-
Gus of wearing wooden goods as they
were in 1912. The workmen are as
anxious to turn out the goods. The
capitalists and investors are as cap
able as ever and have the same weak
ness for dividends. No new substi-
tute for wool has been offered.
year ago and since 1896 the trade has
fiourished. When the Payne law was
in process of enactment wooden mills
we're active, and when 1t was passed
the mills were enlarged. There APP
pears no natural trade reason for de-
preston at this time. The cause OF
curtailment must be artificial. The
man whose business Is hit boldly de-
clares that the coming Wilson tarin
is responsible. At least the wilson
tariff bill has caused no expansion
Of the industry. In all probability the
mil'ins of dollars worth OF woolen
goods in the bonded warehouses in
New York, being closer to the time
of release under the new schedules,
are to affect prices, making buyers
hesitate or buy from hand to mouth.
If these goods sell considerably
cheaper than American product they
are to supplant the home goods until
the industry here is readjusted, that
is until lower wage scale is put in
force.
1t is recalled that last fall the Uti-
ca mills had difficulty in holding their
foreign employees, owing to the belief
on their part that If the Democrats
won the wooden mills would shut
down or pay lower wages. Many en-
ployes prepared to return to Europe
and a number did return. Can 1t be
that these toilers from lands where
they had been downtrodden sensed
the tariff cause and effect upon work
and wages more accurately than men
born In America?

Layinu Out Flower Beds.

Why do people plant flowers in
beds? Everyone does it. and there is
hardly one in hundred that knows.
why they plant them in beds instead
of singly and scattered or some other
way. They do it because everybody
else does it.
Planting flowers is good deal like
growing Whiskers in some ways. Right
after the Civil war every man grew
a full beard, because so many of the
returning heroes had boards through
necessity that they made whiskers
fashionable.
That's why we plant flowers in beds
Because the other fellow did, and still
does. But fortunately there are mighty
good underlying reasons for SO doing,
whether we understand them or not.
In the first place, the herbaceous or
soft stemmed plants usually look bet
ter in masses, lines or other groups. A
large or continuous mass of color
makes a strong impression upon the OBJ
server where a few scattered blooms
would be ignored. A single soldier is
unnoticed, but the marching of a reg
iment thrills the very soul. So it is
with flowers, and this cumulative eff
| feet is the biggest reason for massing
them together.
Perhaps the only other immediate al
tentative would be to scatter them
about over the lawn as they occur in
nature-a group of blue here, single
pink there, etc. This is all very we'll
for the yard that is kept in a wild
state, but it will never do for the fin
ished city or suburban lot. It makes
fair, smooth lawn impossible and
the combination of natural flower ar
engagements and polished gardening ac-
cessories spoils the effect of each one.
AS far as possible, the beds should
be kept at the outer edges of the lawn
to avoid cutting it up and making it
look small The old-fashioned, formal
beds-round, square, star-shaped, dia-
mond or crescent-are not in good
taste now, and the lines of the beds
should be irregular, although clearly
defined. This applies to every walk
borders, to a lesser degree. although
we personally like a straight lined bed
near a straight lined walk.
II it is necessary to place small beds
out In the lawn, the round or oval bed
| is probably the best in form and it
should contain low flowers, so as not
| to hide the landscape back of it,
| Beds should be dug deep, thorough
ly fortified and pulverized, and the
| edges cut clean and smooth with an
edgng tool. The earth should be gen.
tly crowned from the edges to the CEN
ter, to provide drainage DO not plant
the flowers so close to the grass as to
interfere with clipping the grass at
the edge of the lawn about the bed.

Dwarf Tomatoes.

Tomatoes are one OF, ii not the
most, popular summer vegetables
This worldwide favorite is of com
paratively recent use as an edible. 1t
was originally cultivated for it's deco
rative features only, the fruit being
called Love Apples" and people con
sidering them to be poisonous. This
singular error was probably due tc
the fact that tomatoes belong to the
"Nightshade" family, several of whose
members are deadly poison to human
beings.
The popularity of tomatoes is due
largely to the great variety Of ways in
which they can be prepared for the
table. No other vegetable can be eat
en- raw or cooked in such variety OF
forms. No other vegetable has wider
range of growth, is easier to grow
or produces more from the land.
Tomatoes were originally divided
into the tree and bush classes, after
their manner of growth, About SO

this humble gardener had not pre-
served his remarkable plant, the
world would be without a race of
commercial tomatoes that bids fair
to put the larger sorts out Of BUSH
ness, SO far as the large grower La
concerned. We have lang been famil-
lar with tomatoes which are dwarf as
to the size of the fruit and they need
not be considered seriously.
The new dwarf has full-sized fruit
of the very best quality, and while
each plant bears fewer tomatoes, the
dwarf will produce great many
more tomatoes from given area
than will the larger bushes, because
1t spreads less and may be planted
closer together. Where the large
varieties will go about 1900 to tho
acre, planted four feet apart, and will
yield about $50 bushels of good fruit
the Giant Dwarf may be planted 212
by 3R feet apart, nearly 5000 plants
to the acre, and has frequently yield
ed 600 bushels
Even if this were to be overlooked
entirely, the fact that the dwarf to-
mato plant does not have to be tied
or staked up, makes it much better
for both the small garden and the
market garden. The fruit is naturally
kept off the ground and ripens with
out rotting in the attempt. Handle
them just as you have handled the
large varieties and plant them closer
together and forget about the stakes.
The Giant Dwarf is the most COM
mon dwarf variety in this country
and we advise you to try a few plants
this year or next. Thorough cultiva-
tion is necessary, as with any other
tomato, and you must break up the
surface after every rain. Another ex-
cellent forcing plan Is to sink bot
tomless tin can in the ground by each
plant and pour liquid fertilizer, or
even plain water, into it twice weekly.
