advocates parsonage" for teachers
Of course. 'parsonage" is not the
word, but the idea is similar to pro-
viding residences for pastors. II
would seem to be good idea for
the teachers to be provided with
homes, especially in country dis
tricts. so that the teacher and his
family could become part OF the
community life 1t would greatly aid
in securing competent teachers ano
keeping them. But the Herald and

Value of the Home Garden.

The home vegetable garden is be-
yond all question, one of the most
important departments Of the farm.
A good supply of fresh vegetables the
year round, is a necessity. 1t pro-
notes the health and strength of the
individual, and adds to our useful
ness in life by increasing our physic-
al endurance and mental stamina. A
varied vegetable diet, with a moder-
ate supply of such meats as the farm
affords, gives us the balanced ration
so necessary to our physical wellbe-
ing and mental poise. 1t forms the
complete food that the system Graves.
and which nothing else can supply.
All this it does in the most inexpen-
sive and economical way possible to
attain.
There are numerous vegetable
plants that endure out of doors the
hardest winters we ever have, even
here along the latitude of thirty-sev-
en- north. And barring some occa-
sional failures because of insects. hail
or severe drouths, 1t is so easy to
grow vegetables, and the occupation
of gardening is withal so interesting
and fascinating, that even the we'll
stocked winter garden is easily with
in the reach of all.
The market gardeners of the Nor
folk peninsula, and the dozen other
peninsulas that rim around the beau
tiful Chesapeake bay, with their hot
beds. cold frames, green houses, and
canvas, have all the hardy and half
hardy crops already we'll in hand.
and almost ready to catch the dimes
and dollars of the eager customers
confined in brick walls. who never
know the boon of having little gar
den of their own. Their cabbage and
kale are already in the open ground
hugging closely the long ridges that
run north and south, or east and
west, as is most convenient for them.
Close down by the northern or west
ern side of the ridges. as the case
may be, these plants are making
some root growth every mild spell,

getting stronger from the buffeting

and are supplying others with plants

the thrifty and thoughtful peanut

of crimson clover as an aid in pea

is mighty easy matter to grow the
finest winter cabbage or kale plants
absolutely without care or atte 'tic

the clover in October. Both spring
up together, the clover protects the
young cabbage, and the plants can

every Sunday, why not designate a

church members could go themselves

The handsome young minister al

door after the service in order to
greet his Pensioners as they filed
out.
One sabbath morning came a raw
Swedish maid. a stranger, so, with
his usual cordiality, the minister
erasped her hand and said:
Il am very glad to see you here
this morning. Will you not tell me
YOUR name and address, so that may
call on you soon?"
The maid looked him coldly in the
eve and, withdrawing her hand, re-
piled.

The merchants on Main street lose
hundreds of dollars every year from
goods being damaged by dust. This
expense would be saved if Main street
were paved with brick or some other
permanent material Of course, it
will be paved some day, but that does
not help the merchants now. This
does not take into consideration the
main reason why the street should
be paved-that of benefit to the
travelling public.

REV FURUSETf1, PRESIDENT OF The SEAN1ENS UNION

United States will, in the home port,
pay to those men such wages and
give them such conditions as will
take away from them any desire to
desert, and from himself any danger
Of delay. Thus the wages of the
European and Asiatic, ports must
come up to, or nearly up to, the
wages in the ports Of the United
States. No organization among the
men is necessary to bring this about.
The inherent tendency ;. Of human
nature will be quite sufficient.
This accounts. for the. hostility of
foreign ship-owners. American ship
owners in the coast-wlse or lake trade
are opposed to this act because it
compels them 50 furnish more boats,
which take up the space which could
otherwise be used tor passengers, and
because it compels them to carry
more highly skilled men. This means

DENVER, Oct ia committee
appointed by the executive board Of
the United Mine Workers union chal-
lenge the claim Of John D. Rookie

In public statement the unioniists
take issue with Mr.. Rockefeller's
claim that the Colorado Fuel and

it's employees are union men or nom

'Since the strike was called. off
