Not Seeking War.

Turkey has taken advantage of Eu-
ropes occupation to abrogate capitula-
tons which she so long had objected to.
Her diplomats deny that this means or
implies any bellicose attitude on her part
and say Turkey believes the time has
arrived when she should enjoy the same
status as other independent countries,
particularly as Great Britain and Austria
have just agreed to the abrogation of
capituations in the territory which
Greece recently acquired from the Turk
ish empire.

Now that the gardening season is about
over. I have to confess that 1t has been
a year of many disaplointments. W
course, we had drought to contend
with, but even at that 1t seems to me
that I have mighty little to show for all
the hard work I did. 1t Is true that we
have had all the fresh vegetables we
could use: but, do you know, 1t 10 pos
sible to get deathly tired of the freshest
things that ever came from a garden?
When we lived in town there were two
things of which I thought I'd never get
my FILL One was succotash and the other
was lima beans. Early in the season,
when the corn and beans first came on,
I fairly gorged myself with succotash'
I can't eat it at all now.
Lima Beans at Discount.
FIRST Margery dropped out on lima
beans. Jane made a brave attempt to
stand by her guns, but she soon follow
ed suit. The boys rebelled next, and
finally I was the only one who would
eat them. Feeling 1t my duty to set
heroic example. I stuck It out for some
time, talking much Of the high nutritive
value of limas but finally had to give
it up As had planted q big crop and
we had a lot of them left, I proposed that
Jane can them for winter use. But the
family vote went unanimously against
me. They all declared they didn't want
to see another lima bean until next
summer So have been. carrying lima
beans to town and selling them to the
men in the office. Their families haven't
been surfeited and they're glad to get
them.
It's the same with about everything
else In the garden except tomatoes and
sweet corn. We still enjoy the tomatoes
and though the edge Of my appetite for
corn has been taken off I continue to
eat it. But Jim and Ned are just as
corn hungry now as they were when we
brought in the first ears, with grains
that were little more than blisters.
The one really satisf, ing thing about
the garden Is that 1 shall have my
winters supply of potatoes. The rains
came just in time to make the late
potato crop. and we should have enough
for our own use, with thirty or forty
bushels to sell. Jane has canned plenty
of tomatoes and we have dried some
corn, but aside from that the garden
isn't going to contribute much this win
ter to reducing the high cost of living.
OF course, we'll have cabbages and beets
and onions and a few things like that.
but they are not items the cost Of which
constitute a very large part Of the living
problem.
