Layina Out the Garden.

If possible, the garden should be
close to or a part Of cultivated
field, and SO laid out that it can be
cultivated by horse-p power. 1t is
preferable to run the rows the long
way Of the garden, and to 50 plan it
that vegetables Of similar growth
shall be together; for it is easier to-
cultivate if the rows are the same
distance apart. Room for turning
must be left at the end Of the rows.
The perennials, such as asparagus,
rhubarb and the fruits, should be
placed at one side, SO as not to in
terfere with cultivation. Leroy

]. PIERPONT MORGAN

The news OF the death OF j. PIER
pont Morgan at Rome on Monday
has not even caused ripple in the
financial world, at least as far as
can be detected yet. This seems
strange when one remembers that
Mr.. Morgan's relations to industri-
al America was most intimate. No
great railroad deal could be put
through in recent years without the
sanction of the House Of Morgan,
and it has also been the heart and
soul of the great trust promotion Of
the past 30 years.
Mr. Morgan's strength has been
combination and coo operation. his
weakness, water. Some one has said
that give him a dime and send him
to the hydrant, and he will return
with ten dollar bill. Speaker
Reeds witticism that "a corpora
ton is a body Of stock entirely sur
rounded by water" might we'll have
been inspired by observation Of the
ways of the Morgans.
At the same time it may be said
that in creating all the so-Called
watered stock, he broke no law of
the land, although public sentiment
in recent years has crystalized
against this method Of financing,
and it is roundly denounced by
many. Yet it must be admitted that
some good has come out of it by
the development Of the country's $
idle resources, which without such
methods would have been much
longer locked up, same as Alaska's S
is now.
To Mr.. Morgan's credit it may be
said that he has never been a rail
road Wrecker, his aim being rather
to build UP properties and make
them profitable. to the owners and
to himself. He took big toll for his
financial assistance. Few big cor
porations and even small ones, but
have had to pay tribute to him.
That the concentration Of so much
capital in the hands of one man is
a menace to the country, few will
deny. In the hands Of a less wise
man than Morgan the menace
would have been still greater.
But Mr.. Morgan was no mere
money getter. He was also money
spender, and would give a million
for a picture, a church or to help
business friends, with as little
thought as most Of us buy a post
age stamp.

Some farmers will raise anywhere

The man who raised the 100 bushels
per acre graded his corn and tested

raised 20 bushels per acre is the man
who planted any old seed that he

SEEK new GUARD
ON water POWER
Members of Congress Hope to
Take Advantage of Recent
Court Ruling.

Washington, D. c., Sept. S.-Water
power legislation of tremendous con-
sequence to Illinois and adjoining
states is to come before congress at
the winter session.
C%nservationists will demand that
congress exercise the right they be-
lieve 1t has under a recent supreme
court decision to regulate water pow
er developed, not only in interstate
navigable rivers, but in all tributary
intrastate streams, even creeks.
In Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan
large aggregations of capitalists have
been acquiring valuable water power
sites. In Illinois the electric light and
power companies have been organic
ing centralized control of dam sites
on the Illinois, Rock, Desplaines. Fox
and other rivers. Illinois exacts no
compensation for the rights SO &C
CURED.
If congress should decide to exer-
else the authority established by the
supreme court decision, it may reach
into all these streams. lease the wa
ter powers and regulate the business
of the concessionaries, even suppressed
ing, to some extent, such control as
is proposed by the new Illinois public
service corporation law.
The supreme court decision which
has armed the conservationists with a
new weapon was given in the Chand-
Ter Dunbar case last spring. 1t held
that the government has supreme and
exclusive control of all water power
in navigable streams and their trlbu-
taries throughout the nation The
I movement to induce congress to exer-
, else this power already is becoming
perceptible.
That the water power interests are
/ preparing to ask congress for extern
/ sive concessions of dam sites has be-
come known following the statement
of Frank A. Vanderlip, president of
the National City bank of New York,
that s2,O0O,O0O,0O0 is needed for the
development of electric power pro-
jects.
This move VIII revive the fight be
/ tween the conservat!onists, who would
lease water powers to private capital
on terms benefting the whole people
and the anti-conservationists, who be
lieve the concessions should be gram:
ed outright as public lands were given
to the railroads a generation ago.
But the contest will find the conser
vationists intrenched behind the SUI
preme court decision and the pros
pect is that the concessions for wa
ter power development will be made
on the terms long advocated by the
pTogressives of all parties.
When the water power interests ash
congress for concessions it is said
that the administration democrats vii
advocate grants along the line laid
down by Secretary of the Interior
Lane for the public lands.

the vigorous buying of the copper

substantial decrease in the stocks Of

the most optimistic should have eX-

The oil stocks made good gains, with
most of the buying apparently COM
ing from inside sources. London, as
rule, sold the internationals, at no
time was there anything very active
in the whole market, but the scarcity
of real stocks was again so plain that
