MONEY CAN'T MAKE A GARDEN
BY ELIZABETH VAN sENrHUYsEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN
II one had all of the money In the
world and no artistic or practical ideas
TO go with II, he could not produce
garden worth while. am struck
with this fact while looking at some of
the new landscape work at the rich es-
tates that make the Eastern coast a
falryland.
The accompanying illustration will
show case in point. Here is a garden
where money enough has been spent
to buy farm. Yet the figures are
stiff and grouped with about as much
art as the man used who first put fig
ures in multiplication table. Regu-
lar, stiff and awkward, the costly bits
Of work are placed just like so many
pawns on a chessboard.

Volcano One of Biggest.

Kodlan, Alaska, Aug. 24.-"The
main crater of Katmai volcano is ore
ot the greatest in the world" said f.
Griggs, who reached Kodiak today,
after a careful study of the great vol
ce no, in the interests Of the American
Geographic society.
This crater is miles across and
extends down thousands of feet to a
llue-green lake, simmering and sput-
tering at the BOTTOM he added.
Griggs was accompanied on the
c, petition by Lucius G. Folsom,
pl incipal of the Kodiak schools, and
Donovan church, student at the
Ohio state university. This is the
first close examination by scientists
that has been made Of this volcano
since the great eruption in June, 1912,
when the top of the mountain was
blown off and Kodiak island, across
Shelikoff strait, was covered with a
fC OF of volcanic ash.
"Other craters in the group have
teen reported as the main crater Of
aKtmai,' said Griggs, "but these do
rot compare with the real thing.
The natives claim that the top OF
tie high mountain was blown off we
found to be literally true"

District Directors
Defy Petitioners

There were many persons present at
the meeting called for this morning
for the especial purpose of passing on
the petition for the recall of Director
Hamilton, but in spite of the efforts
o.: Directors Mcbride and Ferguson,
the Big Three refused to carry out
the program. Secretary Jack Graham
tock the ground that he has until this
evening to certify to the petition, but
10 statement could be obtained from
him or from the majority directors
as to their intention in the matter. 1t
is understood, however. that they will
reject the petition, simply declaring it
to be insufficient without pointing out
the grounds for this contention.
The Press understands that the
ground on which they will act, though
they will not so state, is that in some
cases the petitioners did not know
the name of their precinct, leaving that
blank and the circulator of the pc
titlon looked up the precinct and in
serted it.
This, Of course, is the rankest kind
Of technicality, but the men who a
few days ago were insisting that the
people at election should settle this
matter are seemingly determined to
prevent the people settling it.
Apparently they have not yet got
the people bound up as tightly in their
Mexican deals as they expect to get
them, and hence are continuing their
defiance of the public will.
Whether the reply to this will be
mandamus proceedings to compel them
to comply with the law or whether
additional names will be filed in an
effort to compel them to do their duty
remains to be seen.
AT the meeting much Indignation
was expressed, and Ed r. German
of Holtville, said to the board and at
tOrney:
"This is another case Of dirty poll
tics on your part, and there is day
OF reckoning coming for you"
