the short courses by this route.
Many crowded city sIums have been
greatly benefited by the organization
among the children OF garden clubs
and by teaching them how to raise
vegetables. One boy in a back yard
in a large city cultivated flowers and
vegetables that netted him s22 one

The value of such practical voca-
tional training to the youth of our
land can never be estimated in dol
lars and cents. II means teaching our
children to do splendid piece OF the
worlds work; the effectual elimina-
ton OF waste. There is an esthetic, as
well as practical and educational value
not to be overlooked. The garden
movement will surely cultivate that
love of the beautiful in tree and bud

started in Davenport Saturday as a
result of the Fourth of July celebra-

these because of the fact that the fire
department was prompt in its arrival
at each place. The department re-
sponded to seven calls, one of these
being a false alarm. Most of the ex-
element of the day was caused during
the forenoon when the awning at one
OF the stores in the Henley building,
Fourth and Brady, caught fire. The
fire was started by a firecracker pre-
sumably thrown from one of the up
stairs windows of the building The
department arrived before the blaze
could spread beyond the awning, how
ever. The first alarm of the day was
sounded at 9:45 in the morning when
the department was called to the box
on Brown street between Eighth and
Ninth streets. This proved to be false.

ment was called to HOG West Third
street. where a roof had taken fire.
This had been caused by the throwing
of firecrackers thereon. The blaze
was extinguished with little damage to
the place. At 3:45 the department re-
sponded to a call at 206 Mound street,
where a fire had started between the
siding and the plaster of the house.
The blaze was started when fire.
crackers were thrown against the
house. and it proved a hard one to
fight az first, but the firemen put it out
with a meagre damage to the place.
About the same time they were called
to the place on Mound street the de-
partment responded to a call at 1909
Brady street, where a roof had taken
fire when firecrackers were thrown
onto It, This also was put out with
slight damage to the building During
the forenoon the Alderman grocery at
Eleventh and Harrison sent in an
alarm. Department No. 5 responded
and put out the fire with small loss to
the building. The department was call
ed to 406 West Second street. In the

METAL OUTPUT LOWER.

Less silver and Copper Production
Makes Per Cent. Total Decrease.
The total value of the metal mine
output Of Washington in 1913 was
slightly more that $1,O0O,O0O, a de-
crease Of per cent from the value Of
1912, according to preliminary esti-
mates of C. N. Gerry of the United
States geological survey.
This was due in part to decreases in
silver and copper production and in
part to somewhat lower metal prices.
An increase of 2 per cent. gave gold
output valued at 1894, 900, notwith-
standing the ldleness of one of the
cyanide mills at Republic. About IS
per cent. of the gold output came from
crude ore and concentrates shipped,
largely the former, and about % per
cent. from iron cyanide and amalga-
nation bullion.

Are you lazy? All right. Wear
something red and become full of en-
ergy.
Are you feeling blue because Of the
inclement weather? Don't worry. but
put on something red.
The American Association For the
Study of Spondylatherapy whatever
that means) at their annual meeting
recently gave out new cure for lazi-
ness. The cure Is to wear something
red.
The idea is this: The society has
come to the conclusion that certain col
ors work on q mans nerves to such an
extent that they control his destiny.
For instance. a person who sleeps in
a room papered in white is calm and
collected. Likewise the man who
wears green eyeshade. The green
has a certain effect on the retina.
which in turn communicates the color
to the brain. the result being that the
eyes are soothed. and consequently the
whole body is at peace with the world
Red. the society says, has tendency
to arouse any one wearing 1t.

unusually heavy rains of the last few
