here today at a luncheon given in
his honor by the Chamber of Com

party left tonight for Portland, con
tinung their tour of Pacific Coast de-

Reference by the Secretary to the
possible necessity of another

country aroused much interest, but
he refused to comment on it after
luncheon.

BEAUTIFUL
CONVERTED SANDY, ROCKY
YARD INTO PRETTY GARDEN
Jerseyman's Experience Should Be I
Lesson For All Others.

The village cynic of Rutherford, n.
J., told John II. Williamson that grass
would not grow in his yard. This
was just after Mr.. Williamson had
bought an unsightly lot in that village
and moved there And at first 1t
seemed as if the cynic was right. The
back yard was composed largely Of
red Jersey sand and rocks. The idea
of converting it into the prettiest gar
den in the town seemed absurd.
But Mr.. Williamson wanted a gar
den He wanted flowers and lots Of
them. He wanted to dig in the earth
and wanted roses for his friends. He
set out to show the populace of Ruther-
ford that flowers could he made 10
grow in Jersey sand. Now lie has
one of the most beautiful gardens IN
that state. and his neighbors, inspired
by his success or envious of his
achievement, have likewise improved
their yards. Spots which two years
ago We're dumping grounds for tin cans
are now magnificent gardens. The eff
feet of the single garden has been mar
Velous
The first thing Mr.. Williamson did
was to get the sand and rocks out Of
his yard Every afternoon he hauled
n wheelbarrow full of rocks to the
woods, a half mile away. on his re.
turn trip he brought n load Of good
wood soil. In one month he had two
flower beds.
This was in the middle of May, and
the question arose. What shall plant?
