Vesta, the captain, is des- tined for Carranza's army. This was the ammunition unloaded here Saturday night from merchant steamer bound for Vera Cruz. at the suggestion of customs off, ficials that there might be delay in the steamers sailing if the war munitions remained aboard.

A TIMELY GIFT.
Il Wasn't Much, but 1t Meant Great
Deal to DR.. Anna Shaw.

When DR.. Anna Howard Shaw was
studying theology in Boston she was
very poor and had to depend on the
little preaching she did to pay her ex-
penses. After a weeks hard work at
a revival, for which she received no
money, she was heartsick and dis
couraged. She tells the story thus in
the Metropolitan Magazine:

ing, but it was not Of these conditions

whelming fact was that had been
weighed and found wanting. I was

She was an old lady. and did not

have seemed fitting to me II at that
black moment all the people on the
earth had broken into sudden wailing.
"Oh, Miss Shaw" she said, I'm the
happiest woman in the world, and

you have converted my grandson. He's
all have left, but ne has been a wild
boy. and I've prayed over him for
years. Hereafter he is going to lead a
different life. He has just given me

Her hand fumbled in her purse.

She pressed a bill into my fingers.
"Its very little" she said humbly; ''it

laughed, and in that exultant mo
ment I seemed to hear life laughing
with me. With the passing Of the bill
from her hand to mine existence had
become a new experience, wonderful
and beautiful.

had" told her. This little bill Is big
enough to carry my future on its

INTENSIVE FARMING ON THIS LITTLE RARNl
Of ground in one season, provided care
Il taken to make the right combtna-
tiOn. A scheme like this Is feasible:
Peas, followed by cabbage. beans,
tomatoes or celery.
Onions, beets. beans and squash, fol-
lowed by kale, turnip, kohlrabi or rad
ishes.
Lettuce. followed by beans and to-
matoes.
Spring spinach, followed BY beans
and tomatoes.
Early carrots, followed BY spinach,
kale, turnips and winter radishes.
Early corn, followed by a second
crop Of corn, by beans. tomatoes or
celery.
For intercropping the following may
be used:
Radishes with beets, carrots or pars-
nips, tomatoes or corn.
6quashes, pumpkins with corn.
Early onions with caulihOwer or cab
bage.
Lettuce with early cabbage, corn or
tomatoes.
Space In the garden may be saved
BY planting corn between alternate
rows Of potatoes after the last cult
vation, and when the potatoes are har-
vested winter turnips may be planted,
thus keeping the ground busy all the
season. II early peas are planted three
feet apart corn may be started be-
tween the rows, and when the peas
are OF squash seeds may be put In. It
ts even possible to have pole beans
climb up the cornstalks, although this
"a carrying intensive culture to ex-
tremes.
When the ground is to be kept COW
cred all the season, IL Is necessary to

and to use the hoe freely from spring
until fall. II the owner Of little place

amount Of produce that will amaze his

and manure should be spread quite
literally and covered to a depth Of
eight to twelve inches.
What to grow In the hOtbed In order
to get ready for this sort of intensive |
gardening depends on your market or
what you want to use it for. Leaf
lettuce and radishes are always In de- |
mand In early spring. They are some
what easier to grow than other crops.
For lettuce start a small bed early and
transplant In space by inches when
they have grown to the second leaf.
The soil should be moist, but not wet
Do not water them until after the
plants get good start
This matter OF watering Is a partcu-
laR part Of the work. Water should
Be applied only during the early hours

portant and the edge Of the sash
should be raised according to the heat
