Washington.-Vir every State called on by President Wilson for the mobilization of it's militia for service in the Mexican crisis has responded with telegraphie acknowledgment and declarations that prompt action will be taken. The War Department is transacting business day and night and it's building is never closed, but when the technical closing hour of 4:30 arrived Secretary of War Baker had in his possession replies from thirty-nine States.

Do you own Japanese garden? If not you should get one right away be- cause it is the latest fad to have one.
 First of all, you will need a shallow baking pan in which to plant the gar den. This may be round or square. For soil you must have sand, and you must also have some coarse pebbles or pieces of broken stone. This can be had for the asking some place where a building is in course of construction. Half a painful of sand and several handfuls of pebbles will be enough. In addition, you must buy some bird

A MARKET STREET

A MARKET STREET L."-What
Chicago wants is to extend the Oak
Park 'L" on Market street from
Madison street to Van Buren, street,
thereby giving the elevated road two
loops to work on and turn Market
street into a retail department store
district, as it is the best street in
Chicago for that purpose. 1t has a
river frontage, plenty of light, and it
would be the proper place for depart
ment stores. 1t would save thou
sands of people going across to State
street. They would then be able to
trade on Market street. All the peo-
pip who come from the two new de-
pots on the West Side, as well as the
Aurora & EIgin electric railway,
would land right where they would
want to go. It would take thousands
of people off of the congested loop
district between State and Market.
Also put a street car loop on Mar
ket street, so that they could run
every other street car around to the
State street loop district and the
other ones in the Market street dis
tTict, and the elevated road people
could work their trains the same
way.

and half section lines, so that the
street car company could operate
their street cars straight through to
the North, South, East and West
Sides, and not go out of their way
four or five blocks, as they have to

That is what Chicago and the peo-
