worker for the Children's hospital, has aided in the affairs of St. Thomas Episcopal church, of which her late husband was a vestryman. Many Sundays recently the Pres lent has put aside from his work and waited in the big crested White House limousine near the church, to drive her home.
 Mrs. Galt is domestic in her tastes. She is a good cook. She is an able business woman. She has not taken any great interest in Washington society, but is known as charming hostess to a small circle of friends. She is gracious and courteous. Close friends call her Sunshine" because of her happy disposition.
 She is fairly tall, with a graceful figure and dark brown hair. Her eyes are blue gray, but so shadowed by long dark lashes that at first ap pearance they seem black. Her mouth is expressive and her tac' ex- ceedingly animated when she talks. Her voice is low.
 Mrs. Galt is normal in her tastes. A lover of books and music. She has many broad interests. What she has done has been accomplished so quiet ly that few people know of it.
 Her engagement to the president, friends say, marks a real love match. Soon after her introduction to the White House by Miss Margaret Will son, the president found their tastes much the same. Both liked the out doors, and together they played golf and tennis and took long walks and drives together. Mrs. Galt was guest at Harlakenden House, where the president spent his long summer vacation, and where their friendship ripened.
 Since their return to Washington, the president has spent many even ings at the Galt home, where she has sung for him the old-fashioned songs he likes best, and talked over with him his intending series of prob lens. In the library, close to the presidents favorite chair, hangs big silver framed portrait of her.
 Blk boxes of flowers have been brought to her house daily in the White House car But lest their secret leak out, the president has been sending them from a down town florists rather than from the White House conservatorles.
 The announcement of the engage ment presages the greatest social season in years, Washington declares, though in this they may fail to take into consideration the liking of both for quietude.

Seed for the outdoor crop of fall

and now august 49, the plants are
up and growing, and will soon be
transplanted into beds six feet wide
and eight inches apart each wav.
These are the May King variety, in

WEEVILS IN CORN

Where the weevil is very destruc-
tive the corr is often badly damaged
before it is removed from the field.
We have seen some notable examples
OF this in the Delta country of Miss
issippi. Under such conditions it
would help considerably to gather the
corr early and store it in the barn,
where the weevil could not get to it
Sc conveniently.
But, even then, to suppress weevil
damage it would be necessary to re-
sort to measures of determination.
In sections where weevil damage IS
heavy every corn grower ought,
therefore, to have a tight compart-
ment in his crib or barn for the corn
so that it could he fumigated to de-
stroy the pest. Carbon bisulphide, at
the rate of 1 pound to 1000 cubic

the nights threaten to be frosty.

This lettuce is intended to head
for Christmas and New Year. After
it is cut out theframe vii be planted
to radishes and beets in rows SIX
inches apart. The radishes come
quickly and. are pulled before the
beets need the room. By the first OF
March the sashes will be needed on
an extra frame to harden off early
tomato plants that were started in
the greenhouse in early February,
and the beets are hardened off and
let grow without the sashes, and they
will be ready to pull about the time
people are sowing beet seed.
In another frarm I sow lettuce seed
the last of October in rows eight
inches apart, and thin it out ten
inches the other way, and manure
and fertilize as the fall lettuce. This
frame gives me heads late in winter
and early psring, and the frame is
used for sowing a succession crop
Of tomato plants.

In another frame I set in Novem-
Der caulitiower plants from seed sown
the middle Of September. I set six
plants to each sash and fill in with
the small-heading Tennis Ball let
tuce. The lettuce is cut out during
the winter and by the first of March
the caulifowers will be getting UP
near the glass, and I gradually har-
den them to the outer air and finally
late in March strip off the saskes and
put them on an extra frame and plant
a hill of cucumbers under each sash
for early cucumbers.

DAIRY COWS SHOULD
HAVE BETTER CARE
(By j. H. McClain-U. S. De-
nartment of Apricnlturel

paTCIlenC OIL ARTlCulCuIe.)
The food value of butter and milk
IS not appreciated on the average
farm and these things are too often
regarded as luxuries. Sweet milk as
well as buttermilk should be had in
such quantities that every member of
the family, sick or well, could have
all desired. If this were the case
the health of the family would lie i'm
proved as we'll as the expense of feed
ing the family lessened.
The quality of farm milk and but
ter should be the best. Much of ire
product of the farm cow is procured
under unsanitary conditions, the COW
being kept in such a filthy lot or sta
BILE that the securing of milk is made
very difficult if not well nigh impos-
sible. Farm butter as a rule is made
in such a way as to discredit it upon
the market, and therefore reduce its
price far below that properly made.
Butter branded as Country" is han
|dicapped in the market because the
method of its making has generally
made poor quality its chief posses
sion.
The poor price of butter, together
with the poor care and poor feed
given the farm cow, has caused her
not to be regarded as q farm asset.
How many instances can be cited
where poor and scant feed and ponr
care make it require two or three
farm cows to produce the milk that
one we'll fed and properly cared for
cow gives. Poor feed, poor care,
and filthy surroundings make scrub
cows, and poor methods of making
butter make bad quality and low
price: All these together make handl
ing the farm cow drudgery and crc-
ate the impression that cows are not
profitable. A disgust for cattle il:
bred into the minds of the young
people on the farm by the way the
average farm COWS are handled.
Every farmer, small or large. ten
ant, or owner of his land, ean provide
at small cost such conveniences about
the cow lot and kitchen as will re-.
duce the labor of caring for the cow
and her products many times, and
make the entire work cleanty and
free from drudgery, if not a pleasure.
The proper care and feed of the cow
will increase her production at least
rs per cent, and the proper marking
and packing of the butter will raise
its price from five to ten cents per
pound. These things will make the
cow a profitable producer and a
source of cash income. All these in
turn will create an interest in better
cows which will increase the income
and gradually exert an influence on
the boys ands girls which will cause
them to take an interest in the farm
cattle.

SEPTEMBER GARDEN NOTES
(By W. F. Massey in Progress
sive FarmerO

One who takes pride in a garden
all the year round should have some
glass hot-bed shades. A market gar
dener. will have plenty of these in
long rows. In my home garden
use small frames so that 1 can have
a rotation of crops in them. NV
frames + all for three sashes each
and there L extra frames for shift
ing the sashes as 1 shall tell. I use
sashes with two large layers of glass.
These keep out all frost when the
frame is well banked with earth on
the outside. The crops 1 grow in
these frames are lettuce, radishes,
beets and onions for transplantinp
IN spring. Then too 1 grow some
flowers in them in winter by plant
ing a frame thickly with Roman hya-
clnths, Paper White narcissus, and
pansies.

Proceeding. Of the District Court.

When the Court took an adjourn
ment on Friday, it was supposed that
the case usually termed 1.-THE Opera
House case" would be taken up Mon
day morning. However, the matter
was settled out of court by stipulation.
The directors of the Opera House Go.
by q vote of 4 to 8, one Of the direct
ors who was attorney for the Company
not voting, offered Messrs. Allen and
Appleby $1,000 for surrender OF their
lease and sale to the Company of their
picture show equipment, which offer
was accepted.
There is some difference of opinion
among the stockholders, some feeling
that the matter should be Thoroughly
aired in court, the publicity serving as
. warning that the people of Cresco
would not submit to paying for public
improvements and allowing some
smooth individual to profit at their ex-
pense. AS the picture show equipment
Is valued at about 500, the stockhold-
ers favoring the settlement contend
that the payment of $500 in excess Of
property received is preferable to the
DELAY and expense of litigation.

1T PROVIDES FOR
HEAVY DAMAGES
Dauphin County Lawmaker Says His
Plan Is Not Aimed at Any Individ-
ual, But Is Intended to Be State
wide In Its Application

The gaudy "Red Cross American
Flag House, at Old Orchard on the
outskirts of the city will be declared
private nuisance and will be razed
or its owner will be liable for dam
ages and S10-a-day penalty for every
day it remains standing from the time
the neighbors get Judgment against the
owner, if bill presented in the House
of Representatives last night by Mr.,
Nissley, of the Second district of
Dauphin county, becomes law.
Mr.. Nissley said his bill is directed
at no particular "spite fence" but at
"spite fences in general. He express.
ed surprise when informed that the
widely known and now famous cred
Cross y house still is standing in one
of the prettiest residential sections in
the suburbs.
81 have not been out Derry street
lately, said Mr.. Nissley, "but it will
be a good thing if that house has to
come down.
The bill provides that a fence or
any other structure in the nature of
fence unnecessarily exceeding six
feet in height, maliciously erected and
maintained for the purpose of annoy
ing neighbors, is private nuisance
and the neighbors may have an action
for damages and recover Judgment.
In the latter event the plaintiff
shall have the nuisance removed
within thirty days or be liable to a
penalty of $40 for each day it re.
mains after the thirty-day limit. This
penalty, the bill provides, may be re.
covered in an action before a justice
of the peace or alderman or other mag.
istrate.
The measure would be Statewide in
its effect and all the "spite fences"
in the State will have to come down
if it becomes a law.

BARBER CO. Low Bidder
ON ASPHALT repair PLANT
Under One Set of Specifications It's Pro-
posal Is $7,495, and Under Another
$11,S75-Four Other Builders Sub
init Figures to City

Five firms to-day submitted propos-
ais to Highway Commissioner William
ID. Lynch for constructing Harrisburg IS
municipal asphalt repair plant, which
is to be built on the recently purchased
site at Ninth and Shanois streets. The
Barber Asphalt Company, of Buffalo.
N. Y, which until few years ago op,
Grated an asphalt plant in this city,
submitted the low proposal. The firm
to which the contract will be awarded
will not be selected until after the
Highway Commissioner has conferred
with City Engineer Cowden and the
representatives of the competing firms.
This decision consequently will not
be made for two or three days, but it
is entirely probable that the award
will be made by the City Commissioners
at their meeting next Tuesday after
noon. There is balance of $18,37O
in the $25,000 improvement loan fund.
out Of which the plant is to be con-
structed and equipped.
The Barber Asphalt Company sub
mitted two sets of specifications, the
bid under one set being $7,495 and
that under the second S11,875. The
other bids were as follows: Warren
