 $S5 on Person

A well dressed woman in state of coma was discovered, last night about 10 o'clock on the east side of West park. The woman was bareheaded and without a purse. All efforts to identify her were fruitless and at a late hour last night she was still unable to make a state ment

 The police department was notified and Detectives Moser and pr. Charles Whe- Ian went to the scene. They were unable to identify her. The woman was of pre- possessing appearance, with brown hair and blue eyes. On her person she had $S5

 Valuable Training
 'The individual garden has the ad- vantage of allowing each one possessing a garden to perform each and every op- eration connected with the preparation, planting and care of the plants grown in that garden This, as before stated, not only develops system. butt it fur nishes a basis of very valuable knowl- edge, If the operations connected with these crops are properly conducted. If the requirements of the different crops in regard to preparation of soil, depth of planting, date of planting and manner of harvesting and training are all care fully observed the young mind has in- delibly- fixed upon it's impressions which will be retained throughout life. The cultivation and management of these crops in future years will be looked upon as sort of instinct. the time and man ner of acquiring this Knowledge having, perhaps long ago been forgotten. The skill and ability resulting from the use of various implements connected with the cultivation Of crops are of no means significant
 Illustrations Very Important I'm connection Wltn tEeSe operations, the teacher can illustrate the good and evil effects from certain methods of cul- tivation. of working soil when in good and | bad condition. with the consequent ef- l fects upon growing crops; can demon strate the value of deep and shallow tl- 1 lage. together with the importance of maintaining a loose soil mulch for the conservation of moisture. In fact. the | school garden should be looked upon as @ laboratory in which the different steps in the life of the plant are to be illus trated and demonstrated. The nature of soil the importance of fertilization, and the conditions essential to germination, as well as the conditions conductive to growth. can all be illustrated in a logical and impressive manner in the school 1 garden.

LONDON PAPERS GIVE
 NO NEWS OF ARMY

The request of the war office that the English newspaper refrain from publishing army and navy movements Aas met with a patriotic response. The London evening papers publish news concerning almost all the armies of Eu- rope, except that of Great Britain.
 There is a popular belief that the British fleet is in the neighborhood of Flushing in the North sea, but the truth is known only to the members of the government.
 Dover and Sheerness are virtually on a war oasis and protective booms are ready to be drawn arOund at mo- ments notice. These and other har- bors have been mined.
 The war council ot the British cabi- net is composed of Premier Asquith, Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state for foreign affairs: Viscount Haldane lord hIch chancellor. and Winston Spencer Churchill. first lord of the admiralty. They remained in conference on mili- tdry matters after the last two cabi- net meetings.
 Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster union isl leader. announced today that a ma iority or the Ulster volunteers were ready for home service, and that many of them would accept any service in which they could be useful.

United States Government Bulletin No. 2ls: Value of School Garden Work.
 Tn any phase of educational work. the first question which presents itself is; What is the effect of the exercise or the study of the pupil? Those who have had most experience in the school garden movement are emphat ic in their state ments regarding the educational value of this work.
 Educational Value
 Tt is claimed that quick discrimination is one of the pronounced qualities result inf from it. Skill with the hands is necessarily an outcome. The handling of small seeds and of various tools naturally develops skill and agility. Systematic methods also follow from the natural or der in which the operations conducted in the gardens must be taken up This not only develops very important fac ulty, but. at the same time teaches the young mind a logical sequence based upon the natural order of things. Industry is not an unmportant result which comes from school garden work.
 The Beginning of Industry
 '.The idea of ownership and the rights of ownership. which comes from the pos
 
 session of garden. induce the pupil ts exercise his ability to make his possession as good or better than that of his neigh Dor. The natural result of this is indus try. Business experience is an importan result of harvesting and accounting fol the products which are grown. The righ of ownership and a respect for propert, rights are more largely developed iron the possession of individual gardens thar in community gardens. The idea tha what is mine is my own" becomes very strongly developed, with the natural SC quence that such possessions must b' properly protected and all rights con cerned respected.
 Everybody's Business Is NObody's
 Business
 "On the other hand. party interes in community garden does not so em phatically develop the idea of individua responsibility. and each one has ten dency to care less for the plants whici another has shared in producing. witl the result that responsibility is shirked and there h lack of interest. with con

NO FINANCIAL PANFe
 FOLLOWS EXCHANCECLOS

While the London stock exchange is closed for the first time in its history by the threat of war. and all the ex- changes in England and Scotland inn mediately shut their doors on learning of London's action. there has been no panic nor any important failures.
 The general feeling among financiers is that Londan has weathered re- marl<able storm with great credit The bank rate was doubled from to 8 per cent. but during the Crimean war
 it touched 10 per cent and stayed there six weeks. Short loans com handed 10 and 10h per cent interest.
 There were no runs on the banks, but hanks doing any ordinary commercial business refused demands to pay checks with gold and paid partly in gold and partly in Bank of England notes.
 Long lines of people had assembled at the Bank of England when it opened to get gold for notes, and many were turned away at closing time. It was ex- lected that the banking act would be suspended. This would mean that the Bank of England would not be com relled to redeem its notes with gold, hut Premier Asquith and Chancellor Da- vid Lloyd-George, with the governor of the Bank of England and representa- tlves of other banks, held a conference tonight and decided that the suspen- SlOn OI lHe dcV4 was uOt necessary dt present.
 They would be prepared to act, how ever, whenever it was necessary. Mon- day is legal holiday and the banks would not open ordinarily which gives q breathing spell.
 The stock exchange governors were warned early today by members estimat- ed at from 100 to 150. that if the stock exchange opened they would be ruined A governor of Bank of England stated there virtually is no doubt that the bank ing act will be suspended before business is resumed and that the Bank of England will issue one pound notes to relieve the strain.
 At all the banks today were lines of small depositors drawing ready cash for the buying of food if the situation con tinued.
 The financial district was crowded to. day by country squires, retired gentlemen and persons of that sort who rushed fl from the outlying territories to ascertain whether their sacred incomes were en. dangered.
 The wholesale prices of food have in. creased by leaps and bounds, but retai dealers have not raised prices, with the exception of the bakers in the provincial cities. General Cromwell Booth, head o the Salvation Army. has asked for pray CTS of the Salvation Army throughout ths world to save the nations from war.

Chicken Thief Is Unlucky

La Junta. Col-When Mrs. J. D. White of North La Junta went to her chicken coop one morning recently she found that about 100 young chickens had been stolen in the night. and upon further investiga- ton about the premises she found gold watch, which was evidently lost by the thief. The timepiece was worth about $4Q.
 It is question after losing such a yai- lable piece of property whether the thief Is ahead on the deal or not The case has been put in the hands of the local police and eventually the watch may be the means of finally locating the thief.
