ends will Undoubtedly be greatly
| increased, and the opening UP OF
direct water communication between
the two sections will be of great
benefit to the citizens and business
men of each section, and especially
to those who are engaged in oys-
as it will furnish them with a COM
peting market for their products,
thereby enabling them to sell for
higher prices and to realize great
er profits.
General Hams was surprised at
the simplicity of the proposition and
this was quite natural, for when a
man has been engaged upon diff
cult engineering feats like the
Panama and Nicaraugian Canals, it
is but natural that a canal through
a flat, level country should appear
simple to him. The route of the
canal will be surveyed in few

of the cost will be secured.
One of the things which cannat
but impress the public generally is
the fact that the canal proposito on
has been endorsed by men like
Frank Furst, the greatest practical
builder of canals in the United
States; General Hams, one of the
foremost engineers in the world,
and by business men generally, rot
only in Camb. idge, but in Ealti-
more as we'll. There seems to be
a feeling pcavelant upon all siIes,
and in every direction, that this
canal will be the greatest thing for
the county that has ever happened
and men who at first were opposed
to it, are Stepping and beginning to
think, and to investigate, ,and mary
of them are taking the position
that, after all of these careful, con
servative business men, who have
investigated the project, are hearth
ly endorsing it, there must be some
thing in it, for they, as business
men, could not afford to take such
a stand if there was not.

One of the most distinguished
visitors who has been to Cambridge
! for many years arrived in THIS city
"Wednesday evening, and stopped at
man was Genera. Peter c. Hains,
one of the foremost engineers OF
modern times. General Hains was
one of the engineers of the Pana-
ma Cana. and it was upon his
recommenda ion that the pres

many of those who were connected
with the work favoring what was
| known as the "sea-level plan.
| Upon :he informatio contained in
/ the reports made by General Hams,
! The impracticability of the sea-level
plan was shown, and the present
lock system was adopted.
General Hams came to this city
upon the recommendation of Mr..
Frank Furst, who, after taking the
matter UP with Col. Beach who has
charge of the Government surveys
in this section, and finding that he
was unable to make such a survey
at this time, advised the Committee
that they could possibly get Gener-
al Hams, who is now retired, and
living at Cape May, to make an es-
timate as to the amount of eXca-
walton necessary and the cost of
doing so. The Committee imme-
diately got in touch with General
Hams, with the result that he
reached here Wednesday evening,
and yesterday, with County Roads
Engineer Richard Dixon and Col.
Albanus Phillips, went over the
route.
After critically examining the
conditions attendant upon digging
such a canal, General Hains stated
that it could easily be dug within
the amount of the proposed bond
issue. He further stated that on
account of the unusually slight diff

BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
THE CARDINAL S BREAKFAST

AS YOU sit down to the nice break
~ fast OF fruit and cereal, and may
. he poached egg on toast, did
it ever occur to you to wonder what
the birds are eating for breakfast at
this very minute? OF course, you
know they cat worms and grubs and
insects but perhaps they like cereals,
too. Notice some time when you are
walking where birds are and see if
you can find some that eat grains and
seed as well as worms.
The pretty little scarlet cardinal
that makes such gay streak as he
flies across the garden likes seeds
very much better than grubs and
worms, and if you throw out wheat,
he will surely visit your garden. In
the seed time of the year, when every
plant in the garden has its own little
pods of seed, you need not throw out
any bait, as he is wise enough to come
there and help himself OF the feast
that Nature has spread for him.
All summer long a certain cardinal
had kept his eyes on very beautiful
garden. Some day he was sure he
would get some extra fine food from
that garden. Above all. he had his
eye on the big tall sunfower way back
at the end of the yard. Early in sum-
mer, this suniower was lovely big
blossom, so big and cheerful and sun
ny did he look that he made the
whole garden seem like one big smile
But now the sunhower's big goldy
petals were all dried up and blown
away. and the soft velvety centre was
dry and hard with big fat seeds.
You would think the flower was
prettiest when in blossom-but the
cardinal wouldn't agree with you. He
didn't care a bit about blossom
but a dead blossom full of seeds
that's different-that's about the very
best thing to eat he knows OF.

the child witnessed a curious and de-

influence her future life and work DoZ-

the sea at one side of the island, then

THIS IS THE TIME TO
PLACE ALL BULB PLANTS
Better Results Can Be Had If Soil Is
Prepared.

Tulip and hyacinth, narcissus and daft
fodil, the little crocus that has such an
audacious air as it pops up through the
snow to greet the spring, now is the time
to plant them all.
They are all bulb plants that repay
one generously for the little trouble in
preparing the soil
They will grow almost everywhere but
it Soes without saying that the flowers
will be large and fine if the ground in
which they are planted has had some
special preparation.
The earth should be spaded for eight
or ten inches; it should be enriched
with a fertilizer of some kind at that
depth, and If a little sand is placed be.
meath the bulb itself, so much the bet
ter, This will prevent the bulbs from
rotting, if heavy rains should follow too
soon on the planting.
Six inches deep and six inches apart Is
the rule for planting hyacinths.
Tulips can be planted four inches deep
and four inches apart They both need
sunshine but the snowdrop and the cro-
Gus can be scattered over the ground or
along hedges. or even between evergreens,
and yet come up smiling.
There are many varieties of bulbs, and
some OF the Dutch kinds are especially
expensive. But crocus and narCissus
bulbs can be bought for 10 and Ii cents
dozen Single tulips and the Roman
hyacinth are to be had for S5 cents
dozen The price of the double tulip and
the double hyaclnth depends on the ma
tionality of the bulb and the fame of it's
original exploiter. but dollar and a half
n dozen is a fair average price.
Gardening is regarded by many people
as an expensive hobby to ride. but not
by physicians. 1t means sunshine and
fresh air and an interest in the out-ot-
doors. II is really more than an interest,
for the woman who plants a garden lives
IN state of constant and thrilling ex-
element from the moment the first
shoot of green appears, through the bud
ding and blossoming time TO the very end
of the summer.
And woman who has once had gar
den will probably spend the winter con-

That valiant hearted, indefatigable
worker in the woman's cause, the Rev
DR., Anna Shaw, is once more out upon
her travels. and undergoing as arduous
a campaign as any soldier in the time
of war. For she is no longer young, and
her plan of action is as strenuous and
exhaustive as any man could ever hope
to undertake
Every night, from September till No
vemher /. she has addressed. and will
continue to address large meetings, and
here comes the salient point-in differ
ent town every night. For she is cam
paigning through seven States; First, in
South Dakota, with all its towns; then
North Dakota, Montana, Nevada. Nebras-
the great question Of womans suffrage
IS to be submitted to the voters, and
sometimes Miss Shaw speaks as often
as six times in one day.
on her arrival at one town, the follow
ing arduous program awaited her. She
had arrived in South Dakota at 10 o'clocH
in the morning, somewhat exhausted after
her four and a half days train journey,
and was informed that she was 10 ad-
dress the high school students at Il
o'clock, to attend large luncheon party
al o'clock, 10 address the Womens Club
at o'clock street meeting at o'clock
and later on a large meeting in the opera
House.
After four and a half days journey
such program might we'll fatigue many
a younger man or woman. But Miss Shaw
enjoyed herself thoroughly, and came
through with flying colors, Within the
last week she has spoken in three differ
ent towns in one day, and on more than
one occasion six times on the same day.
The career Of the Rev. DR.. Anna Shaw
is so we'll known 10 the Philadelphia
public that it needs little detailing. She
is an EnElishwoman, graduate in medi-
cine OF Boston University, a graduate
from the theological department Of Bos-
ton University and president Of the Ma
tional Suffrage Association Of the United
States, Upon her the Kansas University
conferred the degree of Doctor Of Di-
vlnitv.

did lawyer, for she possesses great pow
ers OF oratory. a strong sense Of justice
and real gift In debate, Although a
