GARDENS IN BACK YARDS
Mistake 10 General, According to Au-
thority, Of Starting Them Too
AmbitiousIy.

Even the city dweller can cut ex-
penses by utilizing small yards for
raising vegetables, and the Garden
Club of America has engaged experts
to tell how it can be done. The in
formation is being embodied in a book
for backyard farmers. The book was
begun in the fall, when members Of the
club anticipated hard times and scare
ity Of money for the working man, and
1t will be ready for publication and
free distribution In q few weeks.
I'VE plan for the average yard of
about rs by 10 feet" said Mrs. ]. Willis
Martin, president of the club.
Our aim has been to state the prin-
ciples Of gardening as simply as posi-
bic, planning the needs of the average
family Of four through the entire sum-
mer."
Philadelphia has the distinction Of
being the birthplace of the Garden
Club Of America, which embraces %
clubs In other parts of the country
and Mrs. Martin is also resident Of
that city.
The mistake that is made by nine
out of ten amateur gardeners, how
ever, is that of trying to do more than
they are able to accomplish, and of en-
deavoring to grow too many things
within the restricted bounds of an
average suburban lot. It were well to
bear in mind the fact that, after one
has worked eight or nine hours in an
office, ones strength is equal only to
an hour or so of work in the garden.
1t should also be remembered that only
about so many plants of any kind will
grow and mature on q given area of
garden ground.
Instead of trying, therefore to grow
half dozen plants each of score or
more of vegetables, confine your efforts
to those vegetables of which the fam
lily as whole is most fond Every
body, almost without exception, likes
some vegetables more than others, and
when the list of favorites is compiled
it frequently will be found to be re-
markably restricted. Here is the ten
tative list which may be modified to
suit individual tastes:
Sweet corn, an early and late va
riety or single variety planted for
succession; string beans, planted for
all summer succession; peas, two or
three paintings ten days apart; to-
matoes of a long bearing variety or
planted for succession; lima beans,
either the bush variety, if the garden
is small, or the kind grown on poles,
if more space is available; small
plot for lettuce, preferably the kind
that form heads; another small bed of
onions; two or three hills of cucum-
bers; and if desired, short double
row of beets for early summer use.

Shady Lanes.

That the chief aim of man is not de-
structiveness finds so few exceptions in
these parlous times that any evidence
10 the contrary calls for mention.
A comforting instance of this sort is
contained In a brief news item from an
exchange, thus: Ion a leading road
way out of this city farmers for SIX
niles have agreed to plant shade trees
On both sides 60 feet apart. The same
variety of tree will be used the entire
distance"
This is a little message with an ap-
peal that is vital These public-spirited
rmers have their counterparts In all
ions from the shaded avenues

sensible, artistic and altruistic en-
ieavor, already conceived, and, 1t is

TAX ON STREET ADVERTISING
How They Do. Things in France to
Make and Keep Their Cities
Beautiful.

The imposition of a tax on mural adj
rertisements, which Mr. McKeSna is
reported to be considering, has pro-
duced satisfactory financial results for
many years past in France, the Lon
don Chronicle states. Not bill can
be displayed on any boarding or in any
window in that country without hav-
ing affixed to it an inland revenue
stamp costing at least a penny. The
atrical posters, cards announcing
apartments to let, and bills offering
rewards for recovery of lost dogs all
come under the same law. On printed
matter the stamps are usually attached
before printing. Frequent inspection
renders evasion difficult.
In this connection our French neigh
bors put into operation, just over three
years ago, another excellent idea
which might well be adopted in this
country, is the plan adopted to get rid
of the hideous advertising boardings
which then desecrated so many of the
national beauty spots. bill was
brought in proposing tax of $40
square yard per annum on all board
lngs under six yards square, $50 yard
up to 10 yards, $40 up to 20, and $3.50
on those above 20. If two separate adj
vertisements appeared on the same
boarding, the tax was doubled; II
three, trebled, and so on. The bill was
introduced solely on artistic grounds
and was passed with the enormous ma
iority of 500 votes to 3.

Victorious But Conquered.

Victories are often purchased at

comes defeat What tickleS the ma

consequences little dreamed of. In

No nation is so dangerously near ca

restraint are lowered and follies caper
In the guise of festive heralds of
greatness. One can't rise and by ris-

VALUABLE GIN
AND COTTON DE-

The Cotton Gin Of ]. L. Essary &

sixty bales Of seed cotton and a car
load of cotton seed, were destroyed
by fire between one and two O'Clock
Thursday morning Of last week, to-
gether with the entire building and
its equipment in the way Of cotton
ginning machinery.
The cause of the fire was light
ming bolt by which the building was
struck, and so rapid was the prog.
ress Of the flames that no attempt
could be made to save any Of the
contents Of the building. On the
contents Of the gin the firm carried
total insurance of $6000.. and the
loss above that will be some $1,000
to $2,5OO.
The firm Of ]. L. Essary & Co., Is
composed of Messrs. Larkins Essary
and Jack Maness, two Of the best
citizens of that side Of the county.

But to 90 back to the horrors Of
the war in Europe, let us try to
think what it means to compare
the loss of life over there, with the
losses in other well-known wars
Inathe American cival war, which
lasted four years, the number oil
men killed was one million. In the
European war which began two
years ago last August, it is estimat-
ed that already 100000 are dead.
The American civil war in its four
years, cost, $S,0OO.OOO,OOO while
the grand total of the direct milf
tary cost Of the European war is al
ready $65,7OO,0O0,0OO. 1t is said
that Il took the South a half CEN
tufy borrower from the war which
devastated it. for four years--who
knows that Europe could recover
from Its losses to date in a hundred
years?
The indirect cost of the war in
Il .
Europe Is estimated at S196,00O,-

Plain Talk To
Our Home People,

While the Christmas just passed
might be counted among the best
ever experienced in Lexington to a
majority Of the population, it was a
sad one to some Of our people, who
happened to have on them at that
time the sorrows Of life to which
all are liable and from which none
can hope to escape--except by
death.
Just before Christmas Eve there
was considerable evidence of the
fact that all the fools are never
dead at one time, and whisky drink
ing, or the effects of twas SO
plainly to be observed that the
Town Marshal had to make some
arrests. But in the main the
Christmas was a sober one as could
be expected-as sober one perhaps
as we will ever have so long as
whisky is allowed to be shipped
from wet cities into dry" terri
tory. The Paducah wholesale and
shipping houses reaped a rich har-
vest which we hope and pray may
be their last.
Lexington had two Christmas
trees which were well attended and
enjoyed and the exchange Of gifts
and invitations to dine among our
citizens were noticeable, and in many
ways Lexington people proved that
with a little proper reminding their
hearts can always be located as be-
ing in the right place.

FIGURES OF
GREAT EUROPEAN WAR.

Regardless of all else that may
claim the public attention, the great
war in Europe continues to be an
appalling fact, which has 50 be-
numbed the world that the people
of this continent are not able to
fully realize the enormity Of the
loss Of life and the criminal destruc-
ton of the wealth of the world.
True, the greatest butchery ever
known since men began first to
kill each other, has brought a food
of money to this country--and
with that fact our people have be-
come hardened to a great extent
not only to the suffering of the mil
lions across the Atlantic, but our
sympathies for those nearer home
have become dulled. The inflated
prices Of the necessities Of life, are
making rich those who produce
them and in many places those
who act as middle men, in their
handling before. they reach the con-
sumner, causing much Of talk and
discussion Of investigations which
are mere vaporings and will in no
case bring relief except in cases
where municipal governments help
their people by becoming purchas-
ers and thus cut out the profits 81;
middlemen--for instance, city may
ors in some cases have bought car,
loads Of potatoes to sell direct to
the people at cost instead Of letting
them 60 throught the market houses
