CHAPTER XVII.
Autumn In the Garden

L spent considerably more money In
July and August. Some of the items
would be regarded as necessities even
by our rural standards; some my farm
ing ne1ghbOrS would deem a luxury, il
not downright folly. | WINS a green
farmer then; am a green farmer still;
but as began to get about the region
little more that first summer, espe-
cially at haying time, I was struck
with the absurd waste of machinery
brought about by insufficient care and
lack of dry housing, and began to do
some figuring. All my rural neighbors,
even Bert, left their plows, harrows,
hay rakes, mowers, and even their
carts, out of doors in rain and sun all
summer, and many of them all winter.
A soaking rain followed by a scorch-
Ing sun seemed to me, in my igno-
rance, most effective way of running
wagon, of shrinking and splitting
hubs, Of loosening the fastenings Of
shafts even in iron machinery. Nei-
Their do rusted bearings wear so long
as those properly protected. I began
to understand why our farmers are so
poor, and l sent for Hard Cider.
Just behind the barn he built me
a lean-to shed, about seventy-fve feet
long, open toward the east, and shin

CHAPTER XVIII,
Horas Non Numero Nisi Serenas,

Horas Non Numero Nisi Serenas.
But this story is, after all, an idyl,
and the idyl is drawing to its close.
Even as the Old Three Decker carried
tired people to the Islands of the Blest,
my little tale can only end with land

but the grape arbor and the pergola
would not be covered properly in O.
season. There were holes In the flower
beds to be filled by ANIMALS, and mis-
takes made In succession, so that July
found us with many patches destitute
Of any bloom. Out in the vegetable
area there were first cutworms and
then drought and potato blight to be
contended with. In our ignorance we
neglected to watch the hollyhocks for
red rust till suddenly whole plants be-
gan to die, and we had to spray madly
with bordeaux and pull of a great
heap of infected leaves, to save any
blooms at all. There were clearings
to be made in the pines for ferny spots,
and constant work to be done about
the pool to keep the wild bushes from
coming back. There were chickens to
be looked after now, also, and new re-
sponsibilities in the village for both
Of us. We had neither attempted nor
desired to avoid our full share of civic
work. We lived a busy life. with not
an hour In the day idle, and few hours
in the evening. We lived so full a
life, indeed, that 1t was only by pre-
serving an absolute routine for my
own bread-winning labors, from 9 a. N.
till one, that I was able to resist the
siren call of farm and garden, and get
my daily stint accomplished.
The preceding summer | had made
about two hundred dollars out of nv
produce, which In my first naive en-
thusiasm pleased me greatly. But 1t
was surely poor return on nv invest
ment, reckoned merely in dollars and
cents, and the second season showed
different result. Having two cows

HATTON ON
Phillip

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 17.-"While I
have at no time in this campaign in
dulged in personalities and do not in
tend to do so now, | feel that | must
make some comment on the statement
made by Gov. Philip in speech last
night in which he said that the rail
road commission ought to be abolish
ed" said Senator William H. Hatton,
Conference candidate for the Repuh-
lcan nomination for governor, speak
ing here last night in Soldiers Square
before more than 600 people.
Governor Philips proposal to dis
pose of this commission and turn the
work over to the Interstate Commerce
Commission would defeat the ordin-
airy person in his dealings with the
railroads. Such a step would bring
back the old days of special privilege
and place the people of the state IN
the undesirable position of those III
other states who have 10 pay more
than two cents a mile railroad far.
| am surprised that Governor Philip
who is supposed to have the interests
of the people at heart, should make
such proposal. 1t is a physical i'm
possibility for the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which controls
more than 100000 miles of rail
roads, to do the job properly To a
bolish this commission would mean
an immediate increase Of 20 per cent
IN passenger rates as we'll as putting
the people of the state at a disadvan.
tage in the matter of freight rates.
This is not good business"
United States Senator George w.
Norris of Nebraska who is in the state
IN behalf of Senator La Toilette, and
Lieut.. Gov. Dithmar are touring the
Fox River Valley with Senator Hat
ton. The party was joined this
morning at Oshkosh by 200 of Sena-
tor Hatton's fellow citizens from New
London travelling in automobiles, and
headed by their own band. They tour
ed the county with the candidates to-
day.
The entire party stopped at Nee
nah and Menasha for dinner at noon
and nearly caused a food famine i'm
those towns. Speeches were made in
both places. Mayor Harry Adams OF
Beloit, who accompanied the party
during the forenoon, was one of the
speakers at Menasha. He took occa-
sion to denounce Gov. Phillip as a
professional and undesirable lobby.
lst whose attempt to control the rail
road situation made him unfit to hold
the governors chair"
Owing to the bad condition of SEN
ator Norris throat he was only able
to speak a few minutes at Appleton
in the evening. He touched upon the
tariff situation and urged the support
of the people of Wisconsin for Sena-
tor La Toilette, "the most independ-
ent and progressive statesman in
Washington"
Before the meeting the entire dele
cation of "Hatton Boosters" as their
badges proclaimed them, paraded the
streets in their automobiles headed
by the band. Owing to the fact gov
ernor Philip was speaking in the ar
mory at the same hour there was ur-
usual political enthusiasm in the town
The majority of people seemed to pre-
fer the outdoor meeting.

from the western trip and faced a
busy day at his summer home here
The program for today included a
speech to the progressives and indie
pendents. 1t was considered possible
that the president would refer again
to the settlement of the recently
threatened railroad strike. 1t was au-
thoritatively stated that he had taken
the position that congress and he were
not coerced into a sett;ement because
neither side asked for legislation. On
the other hand, it was said that he
intervened after both sides had made
1t plain that they were ready for
strike.
