MANAGER SYSTEM is LIKED
Has Been Given Years Trial in Tue
son, Ariz.. and Seemingly 10
There to Stay.

Tucson, at the close of year under
the city manager system, is pleased
with 1t and will continue it, though 1t
is free to abandon 1t, since the system
exists by sort of understanding and
not by charter. The old council sys-
tenn prevailed in Tucson, but it was de-
cided before the election to give the
manager system q trial for at least
year. 1t did not seem that under such
an arrangement the system could have
fair. trial If the council should at
any time divide to engage In politics,
the system would go by the board. But,
fortunately. the mayor and the coun-
Gil have earnestly assisted in making
1t success. They selected good
man for manager and delegated all
the power possible to him. There has
been no interference with his ap-
pointing power. No pressure has been
exerted upon him in favor of any ap-
plicant for job. There has been
no faint of politics in the city gov
eminent, which has been the best Tue
son has ever had. More has been ac-
complished in the last year than in
any previous year.
What has happened in Tucson has
happened everywhere the city manager
system has been given fair trial.
Phoenix's experience of a year and q
half with it has been entirely satisfac-
tory. In the beginning there was a
little Earring Of the machinery, but for
several months it has run smoothly
and the result has been profitable in
money and good government. Even
more is promised for the next year.
If it should ever fall down or fail
here or elsewhere, it will not be the
fault of the system, but the fault Of
the people in failing to elect the right
kind of commissioners, and the peo-
pie will never commit such fault If
they remain alert to detect the first
sign of political canker.-Arizona Re-
publican.

Mustard Greens.-Wash the mustard
leaves and put them on to cook with
no water, adding as little as possible,
to keep from scorching. If the green's
are cut in shreds before being put on
to cook they will cook quicker. Sprin-
kle with salt, pepper and cornmeal, us

cook until tender and the meal is thor

Eggplant With Tomatoes.-Peel and
cut eggplant into inch cubes. Melt a
tablespoonful of butter in saucepan
and put in the eggplant, one cupful of
tomatoes and one small onion, chopped
very fine. Season with salt and pep

chopped onion, cayenne pepper and
salt and cover closely to cook in it's

Support Of Vines.

In furnishing support for vines that
Chamber over the walls OF the house,
do not use strips of cloth, as so many
do. The cloth is good for season
only. After the vines have become
large and heavy their weight will be
sufficient to tear the cloth loose from
the tacks that held it in place, espe-
cially after heavy rain or in strong
winds, and down will come the plant.
1t will be found impossible to Put it
back In place in anything like a sat-
isfactory manner. For supporting
large, stiff vines make use Of screw
hooks, which are easily inserted in
wooden walls. Turn the hooks in IN
til there is just enough room between
their points and the wall to admit Of
slipping the vine in.
Some vines are not adapted to this
treatment. Those can be supported
by using strips Of leather instead Of
cloth. The leather should be soaked
In oil for "a hours before using, to
make 1t pliable and wster-resisting
Do not use small tacks, as these do
not have sufficient hold on the wood
to make them dependable. Use nails
at least an inch long, with good-sised
heads.

When putting casserole into the

STYLES IN FLOWER BEDS
Excellent Idea Sometimes to Get Away
From the Conventional Designs
So Often Seen.

Do not be afraid to get away from
the conventional when making flower
beds. Have beds different from those
of the neighbors and different from
last seasons beds. Geraniums, coleus
and the other old bedding favorites
are good, but it is tiresome to see them
everywhere. Verbenas are not bedding
novelties, but might be used more gen.
orally; also petunias, abutilons, Gu
pleas, fuchsias. balsams and ivy
leaved geraniums.
A mixed foliage bed Of tropical APP
pearance can be made by the use Of
the following plants in such combina,
lions as may be desired: Aspidistras,
ficus in variety, crotons in variety,
dracaenas, pandanus, pepperomia,
palms in variety, sansevieria, eche-
verias, ferns, grevilla robusta, white
leaved cineraria and centaurea, pyre-
thrum, goldenfeather, farfugium, maui
randias lobelias, lantanas, cupheas
The last three named will supply q
little color in red, white and blue
flowers to tighten up the color of the
various foliage plants. The taller
plants scattered about the bed will
supply shade for the smaller shade
loving plants and the ferns, which
should be tucked in naturally to fill up
space. The variety OF colors in the
foliage Of dracaenas, pandanus, GRO
tons, cineraria, centaurea and pyre-
thrum will contrast well, If the plant
ing is arranged with care, and the
whole will make an unusual and beau
tiful bed.
