PLANT A GARDEN
Little Talks On Health And

Plant a garden. Some Of the
worlds greatest thinkers have
found diversion and inspiration in
their gardens. II your control Of

The practical benefits derived
from the tillage Of a little garden

day life perhaps We weigh as Of too
little Importance our opportuni-

the effect Of some slight effort at
Identification.
Years ago a boy station agent Of
a railroad traversing the plains Of
the Canadian Northwest sent back
home for a few packages Of flower
seed and with such time as he
could spare transformed the sur
roundings Of his mean little one
room station. Sir Thomas Shaugh-
messy. president Of the road. was
making a tour Of inspection and
when he reached this little garden
spot in the then uncultivated .
wastes. he asked 10 see the boy and .
learned from him the story Of his 7
garden. As a result the next year
all agents Of this road which
stretches from the Atlantic TO the
Pacific received packages Of seeds
and instructions TO plant flowers
around every station and the GUS
tom then begun has ever since con-
tinued.
The cultivation of twenty feet or
more of back yard may not result
in anything Of this sort but should
prove healthful, restful and pro-

Delaware Men Work
In Drainage Congress

Three prominent, public-spiTited
citizens Of Delaware have been ap-

cure a strong delegation from this
State 10 the fourth annual meeting
of the National Drainage Congress
at Savannah. Ga. April 1925. in

the Wilmington attorney. who is a
member of the General Education
al Committee of the Drainage
Congress; Hon. Coleman DUPONT
OF Wilmington. president of the Du
Pont Powder Co. also the honorary
vice-president Of the Drainage
Congress. for Delaware: and DR.. J.
II. Squires. agrOnomist, of VIII

utive committeeman for Delaware.
DR.. Squires is temporarily estab-
lished at Charlotte. y. c.
While it is generally supposed
that Delaware's interest in food
protection and swamp drainage
and reclamation is only an incl
dental interest because of the
benefit this State would secure
from the protection and develop /
ment of other states, the facts prove I.
this opinion to be ungrounded. I
Government statistics give the area
of swamp lands in Delaware as
12I 200 acres. This is a little more
than 10 per cent of the total land
area of the State. The reclamation
of these swamps, aside from the
great benefit to the public health.
would increase the value of the
States agricultural products by
more than ten per cent.
The National Drainage Congress.
as its name implies, is national or
ganization. 1t is endeayoring to
have passed national legislation
that will accomplish the following
results:
Prevent an annual loss Of hun
dreds of lives, untold grief and suf-
fering, Sl00,000,0O0 worth of prop
erty, and the crippling of trade
and industry, caused by foods. /
Prevent the annual death of
thousand women, childen and men,
and an economic loss of $4,000, +
900 caused by malaria which is due
to the existence of swamps. i

Two New England senators OF oppo-

GLASS MOSAIC PANEL.

port,

A very beautiful and unusual type
of memorial has been presented to
the Washington Street Baptist church
Of PASSPORT, Me-, in loving memory
of Samuel Stevens and his family, and
Emory Lyon. The gift is in the form
or Tiffany Favriles glass mosaic
panel, designed and executed by the
Tiffany Studies of New York, under
the personal supervision of Mr.. Louis
c. Tiffany.
The panel Is set in an especially de-
signed cast bronze frame. and pre-
sents the GOOD Shepherd" returning
from his quest for the lost sheep. The
Saviour is seen walking along a ledge
of the mountains with the recovered
sheep nesting In his arms, His flow
ing robe is held up before him so as
to shelter the wanderer from the cold
blast of the wind.
The coloring in the garments OF
Christ is very soft and rich. The sky
Is beautiful golden tone at the bot
tom of the panel, and shades gradually
into "a brilliant blue at the top. This
portion Of the memorial is construct
ed of magnificent metallic lustre glass
and Is very effective.
Inc pdItl Is COIipoocO VI tiOuodhuo
OF pieces of Tiffany Favrile Glass,
some SO small as to make detection al
most impossible, imbedded In the
hardest cement. The coloring and the
detail Of execution seem indeed mar
veIous when one considers that no
paint or enamel Of any kind has been
applied to the surface of the glass.
The memorial is the only one OF its
kind in the state. and the Washington
Street Baptist Church may we'll feel
pride in its possession.
The dedicatory inscription appears

questions. Senator Burleigh was long
patronage arbiter under Republican
administrations, for the third Cengres
sional district. He distributed post
masterships when thoso were for Re-
publicans and takes. the ground now
that he will not attempt to interfere
when the plums properly belong to
Democrats.
AS matter of fact Maine Democrats
are getting more voracious for office,
apparently, than at any previous stage
under this administration. For the
first few months, they did not seem to
care. There was not much crowding
around the pie counter. But this has
changed. They are Writing letters
down to Washington. They want TO
know why it is SO many Republicans
continue in the postoftices and why 1t
is that the fourth class offices, which
yield pretty good salaries In many in
stances, as measured by the purchas-
ing power of money in the smaller
Maine towns, are kept under the civil
service.
BY Postmaster Gen. Burleson's order
for the examination of postmasters in
the fourth class postofiices, a good
many Maine Republicans have man
aged to hold on. Here and there some
Democrats are breaking in but not
enough to suit the partisans who
would like headquarters in every town
for the distribution of campaign liter
ature and for other favors which a
postoffiee, under old ideas, was sup
posed TO be able to render.
Il can be said, however, that Repub-
lican postmasters in Maine viii not
be permitted this autumn to run
headquarters fer campaign favors. 1t
is also probable that Democratic post
masters had better be wary on the
same score. Republican postnasters
who undertake to help along will be
risking their commissions. Postmast-
err Gen. Burleson is a very determined
man on that score. AS he is some
thing of Il Democratic partisan, there
is interest in noting whether he Will
be as strict with Democratic post
masters as he clearly intends to be
with Republican postmasters. In num-
erous instances he has been ready with
excuses for ousting Republican en-
cumbent whose term had not expired,
This has applied alike to postoffices,
large and small He will not relax his
vigilance when the state end Congress
