his private car. He walked Immediately
to the old fire house, where the polling
booth of his precinct is located.

another cheer.
Several SuffraglStS were at the station

immense boost in President Wilson's
announcement of his support. but that
it is probable the amendment will be
defeated. Under the New Jersey con-
stitution the question cannot again be
voted upon in five years If defeated at
this election. That is why the advo-
Gates Of suffrage. have made such a

NEW JERSEY VOTING
ON NEQUAL SUFFRAGE
Women at the Polls Today
Pleading for Constitutional
Amendment.

NEWARK. N. J.. October 1s.-An ideal
autumn day throughout the state brought
voters to the polls in unexpected num-
bers today to cast their ballots on the
proposed constitutional amendment to
give women the vote.
At pm. larger proportion of the
registered vote than had been antici-
pated had been cast in the chief cities.
and reports from the suburb BIS and rural
communities likewise were that the
voting was heavy. Up to that hour the
election had been orderly and with
only isolated instances Of alleged ir-
reRularities. In this city watchers at
the polls reported they had been eject
ed from the polling places. but this ap-
parently was due to lack of proper
credentials.
The heaviest voting is expected be-
tween .pd o'clock tonight. In some
precincts in this city half of the reg
istered vote was reported to have been
cast by noon. In Jersey City about
5000 votes. one fourth of the names
on the registry lists, were said to have
been cast by noon
The polls opened at o'clock this
morning and will remain open until 9
tonight Voting on the constitutional
amendment to give woman the ballot
will end at tonight. From to the
polls will remain open for registration.
At 9 o'clock the counting OF the vote
begins.
Suffrage and anti-suffrage workers
alike claim victory. Votes for wom-
en-" the former say, Will win by $4,000.
Woman suffrage will be decisively de-
feated, the anti-suffrage leaders as
sert.
Over 5000 Women on Guard.
More than 5000 woman watchers took
their places at virtually every polling
place In New Jersey today. prepared to
challenge voters If necessary, and 9TH
erwise to guard the right of their CO.
workers for suffrage These watchers
had been instructed in their duties at
A school for watchers recently opened
by the woman's political union.
The last public plea for votes was
voiced in this city at o'clock this
morning. the time for the opening of
the polls, at the termination of a meet
ing where woman speakers had ad-
dressed passers-by without pause for
weary the speakers went home. their
work being taken up by scores of
young women in automobiles, who
went through every section of the city
to bring voters to the polls.
Two Counties Chief battle-ground.
Newark and Essex county, in which
the city is situated. were the chief
battle-ground. The situation in FIVE
other large counties of the state was
but little different, however, and in
these disputed territories, where the
conflict will be decided, every effort
was made to bring out the vote early
in the day. The weather prediction in
dicating rain today caused them to re-
double their efforts.
II women win the ballot they will
have to wait till next year to vote, as
today is the last registration day be-
fore the November election.

SHADE TREES FOR BEAuT
BY j. w. GRIFFIN.

In selecting list of trees to plant
for shade on your lawn or along the
avenue or near the house make a
note of the character of the soil and
plant accordingly.
Ii you are planning home in the
lowlands, where it is damp and where
fogs hang on the better part of the
morning. "cut it out" sell out, get out,
do anything to get out, and go up
higher if possible.
Leave the swampy lands to the
frogs and mosquitoes and the fevers.
Make note of the trees on the
hillsides and those that grow on the
hi1ltops. Pick out those that hold
their foliage longest. also those whose
foliage is healthiest and most dense.

out are larger than two or three year

The top soil is thrown on one side,

any time they are wanted. A few DAYS
OF sunshine and windy weather in
early spring put the mounds of earth
beside the holes in fine shape to put
in around the trees.
The trees may be set out two OF
three weeks before the surrounding
soil will do to cultivate.
First, strawy manure is tramped six
inches deep in the bottom of the holes.
then about six inches of the top soil
is thrown in. leaving a little mound
In the center of the hole upon which
the center or taproot should rest.
The finer or side roots are spread
out around the little mound. more OF
the top soil is thrown in and packed
tightly around the roots. filling up all
air spaces and holding them in proper
place.
| Next, some rotten straw. not ma
nure, is thrown in, then the rest of
the soil is tramped wen around the
trees. do not use any manure next
to the roots Of the trees The manure
is scattered around the trees. the
rain takes the fertility down to the
roots and the solid matter. while rot

THE MODERN GLADlOLUs

Everybody knows the gladiolus-in

has such variety and beauty of color
Ing.
Nevertheless, the modern gladiolus
is almost unknown to large majority
of our people, because of the great i'm
provement which has been made in a
comparatively short time.
The gladiolus is propagated by di-
rect multiplication. by cormels and by
seeds. The CORN planted dies at the
end of the season, but produces new
one at the base of each shoot it sends
up; so that the rapidity of multiplica
ton depends on the number of shoots
sent up.

The inspector sighed His face had
grown long and the buoyancy had
passed from his manner.
They found the others waiting for
them at the end of the great wooden
shed. Quest turned to French.
Look here, French" he said, you
know I don't want to hurry you off,
but don't know what we're going to
do with this fellow about in San Fran

charges, and we should have to put
him in Jail tonight Why don't you

French assented gloomily.

be glad to get rid of the fellow, too"
he added.
They drove straight to the depot.

and Quest, with a little sigh of relief,
handed over his charge.
Now for little holiday Quest de-
clared, passing Lenora's arm through
his. "We'll just have look around
the city and then get down to San
Diego and take look at the exposi-
ton there. No responsibilities. no one
to look after, nothing to do but enjoy
ourselves"
Quest and Lenora turned away from
the window of the hotel, out of which
they had been gazing for the last
quarter Of an hour.
It's too beautiful" Lenora sighed.
Quest stood for moment shaking
his head. The professor. with pile
of newspapers stretched out before
him, was completely engrossed in
their perusal. Laura, who had been
sitting in an armchair at the farther
end of the apartment, was apparently
deep in thought.
Say, you two are no sort of people
for a holiday" Quest declared. "As

exchanged amused glances. The for

By this means and by the differ

may be had from July until hard
frost. It is most important that the
ground be kept stirred and mellow
at all times, especially as soon after
each rain as the ground win work
well and before crust forms.
Unless you have planted in masses
for landscape effect, cut every stem
as soon as the first two or three flow

water in the house. Every morning
remove the old flowers, shorten the
stems and change the water. Keep
at night in cool place.
Thus treated the stems viii be in
bloom a week or more.
If a few especially large flowers are
wanted pinch off some of the top buds
at the start.
Before the ground freezes dig the
bulbs and dry them Then cut on
the stems, close and store in shallow
baskets or boxes in a cool, dry place.
Pull of the old bulbs and roots when
you have time.
