MY soUARE-RoD GARDEN

May II, 1915, planted the seed for q
future crop of beets. I little dreamed
that would profit by II, for the amount
spent on seed, fertilizer, and plot
amounted to ffty-five cents ($0.55).
Secondly, when I figured out the amount
of work would need to cultivate it at
(S0 1O) an hour, thought that instead
Of profting BY 1t, would lose, and, %
nearly all the neighbors had gardens, /
thought would have hard time to
find q market for them. Still, / had the
advantage of planting mine before many
had theirs ploughed. June 26 I pulled
my frst beet greens. I found q ready
market for them, and, by the time the
beets were large enough to eat, the
neighbors were ready to relieve me OF all
that could spare.
Isoon learned that / knew OF get
rich-quick scheme. As hoed till my
back ached, and my hands blistered, the
sun shone down numerically, my only
consolation being that was earning ten
cents 100. 10Y IN hour, 80 tried to see
how many hours could work without
stopping.
As my beets grew larger, they didn't
need ss much hoeing, so I went away
for q month. My mother continued to
sell the beets, till, one day In October,
she pulled them all. Measuring them,
she found there were two and one-half
bushels q IL bu.) These ! sold ct in
tervals, Keeping some for our own use.
When canned my beets, / chose only
those the size of walnut. Although
was very careful, I did not succeed In
getting off all Of the outer skin, 80 that
black specks could be seen through the
glass lars. The beets did not lose their
color, 90 Notwithstanding their blem-
ishes, I felt very proud, and hoped to do
better next time.
I enjoyed the whole of my seasons
work, and, a. I counted the results, !
was justified In spending long and
tedious hours In the garden, when
would much rather have gone out to
play.

that every years produce will, II not be
better, be as good a. this years.
I also hope that, a. the years increase,

CHAPTER XIV.
The Camp Heaven.

ND was very glad indeed that
"a he did not 60 with me for
that toilet to my hands, for 1t
might have happened that q
noise would have deprived me Of
very beautiful thing that discovered,
through q. window under a vine Of
roses that opened upon that back

A very pretty young girl, with hair
the color Of the maize In the fields, lay
upon q white bed beneath quilt Of
many colors. The eyes of the mother
were closed, and her arm held a babe
loosely as II In deep dreaming. I
softly poured the water into the basin,

Withdrew into the kitchen, with much
care that did not awaken her. On
my cheeks could feel a deep glow Of
color, and something within my heart
pounded with force against my own
breast under Its gay red coat Of a
hunting man. I could not raise my
eyes to those Of my Gouverneur Faux
ner, and ! ate not as much Of that
good breakfast as Robert Carruthers
could have consumed II the woman In
bis heart had not been 80 stirred.
And all Of that long day in the soft
early spring which was bursting into q

Of our horses and above, our heads in

that rode at the side Of my Gouver.

under her coat Of man. It was with
difficulty that I forced my eyes to
meet and make answer to the merri-
ment and Joy Of the woods In bis deep

the descending Of the sun brought q
moon silvered twilight down upon US
from the young green branches Of the
large trees Of the forest through which
we rode.

Ash Situation Grows
Worse Instead of Better

The ash and garbage situation
grows worse instead of better The
back yards and alleys are still Uttered
with the unsightly mounds that are
growing into miniature mountains.
The condition to-day is made worse
with the city covered by inches of
slush and the outlook for any immedi-
ate relief seems hopeless. At the city
health Office this afternoon it was said
that not one application for collector
has as yet been received and that
about half of the regular force is on
the job.
The suggestion made last week by
Dr. j. NJ. ]. Raunick, city health
officer, that an expert be engaged to
go over the situation thoroughly and
make a report on a possible solution
will be incorporated in his annual
report to Council. That some drastic
action be speedily taken by Council
for an immediate, if temporary, re-
lief from existing conditions is the
only method that seems reasonable
at this time in the minds of many
citizens.
AS pointed out by Dr. Raunick last
week. a number of local contractors
would be willing to contract for the
removal of ashes and garbage, but
could not because they are unable to
get enough men for the teams. With
this condition Council would be COM
PEELED to import men to do the work.
With one hundred men the city could
be cleaned up in a weeks time, ac-
cording to DR.. Raunick.

the fourth year class will have their
work completed, with the exception of
the final semester. They will close
their work about May 80 and devote
the remainder of their time to pre-
pairing the commencement program.
Professor A. M. Lindsay, director of
music at Tech, has extended an invi-
tation to be present in the auditorium
tomorrow afternoon at the close of
school to all those who are interested
in the formation of a glee club. While
each class will have it's own musical
organization, Professdr Lindsay will
train a general chorus to represent
the school. A concert by the glee,
mandolin and guitar clubs in connec-
tion with the school orchestra and
band will be one of the musical fea-
lures of the year at Tech the latter
part of next month.
The four classes of the school will
devote the next two weeks to review
ing the subjects they have been pur-
suing the last several months The
advance work has practically been
covered and the final reviews will now
be held. DR.. Eager, the principal, has
assigned the teachers who will be in
charge of the different sections. Ex-
aminations will be held simultaneously
the week of February in the differ
ent rooms of the building. Practically
without exception the work of the
first half of the year has been covered
despite the belated opening of school
because of the infantile paralysis cpl
demic.

Bethlehem Steel Seeks
Vacation of Highways

Mays Landing. N. j., Jan. 22.-Ap.
plication was made to Judge Shinn in
the Atlantic county court for the ap-
pointment of highway surveyors to
condemn twenty-five roads in the
large plot of ground recently acquired
by the Bethlehem Steel Company for
use as proving grounds of larger cali
ber guns.
The roads which the company is
seeking TO have vacated lie entirely
within the 100, 0,000-acre plot which the
company has acquired. The plot is
fourteen miles long, extending from
Mays Landing nearly to Tuckahoe,
and is bordered by the Great Egg
Harbor river, the Tuckahoe river and
the Tuckahoe road.
The company has a large force of
men at work putting up fences and
guards are being stationed at the gates
to prevent persons from entering the
reservation.

DAILY REPORTS
OF TWO SURVEYS
Seek Highest Efficiency Pos
Sible in School Finance and
Police Dept.

Daily reports will be made of the
surveys of the police department ana
the business and financial admlnlstra-
ton of the Harrisburg School district.
The surveys will be made by the New
York Bureau of Municipal Research
through the Harrisburg Chamber OF
Commerce.
The work will be done with a view
to obtaining the highest efnclency IN
the police department and financial
work of the school board and is be-
ing done in cooperative spirit to
show where and how the taxpayers
money can be saved.
Information gained by the police
survey will give Mayor Meals ana
Chief of Police Wetzel exact details
as to how the department should be
organized and operated so as to give
the citizens of Harrisburg proper po-
lice protection at an economical cost.
The school survey will also be done
by an authority who will tell of mod
ern methods in the upkeep and re-
pairs of buildings, fuel and heating
maintainence and the purchase of all
supplies.
Many representative communities in
this country have not only had surveys
made by the New York Bureau OF
Municipal Research, but later publlc
spirited citizens have endowed the
creation of local bureaus of municipal
research to be operated by trained
men secured from the staff of the New
York Bureau. Such progressive COM
munities as Rochester, n. Y, Akron,
Ohio and Minneapolis, Mimi, have
done this. The New York Bureau has
recently completed a survey of all
municipal departments in San Fran
cisco and has under way surveys of
Jamestown, N. Y. Columbus, Ohio,
and Kansas City, Mo.
President David e. Tracy, of the
Chamber of Commerce, is giving the
surveys in Harrisburg, his personal
attention, as he believes their results
will be constructive work of the high
est value to the com nunitN.
