TEARING DOWN SING SING.

New York, March 3.--The present week witnessed the commencement of the work of tearing down the Sing Sing penitentiary, one of the oldest and undoubtedly the most famous prison in America. In the course of time the antiquated prison buildings, with their unsanitary cell blocks, are to be replaced by structures planned in accordance with the ideas of the modern penologist. The work of de- molishing the old buildings and con structing the new will proceed at the same time. It is expected that the completion of the new prison will oc- cupy about five years. Practically all of the work will be performed by prison labor.

HAUBER THEATRE.

"One of Many" the five-part fea- ture screen drama which, presented by Arthur James, will be seen at the Hauber theatre tomorrow with Fran ces Nelson as star, is a great moral pantomime. On the screen is flashed the story of the struggles. the sor- rows and the regeneration of Shir- ley Bryson, the little manicure girl whose love for her mother blinds her eyes to her duty to herself
 "One of Many" which has been written and directed by William Christy Cabanne, lays bare the pit falls that beset the path of young girls who go out into the world to grapple with modern conditions. Especially it flays those who take the attitude that rich man cas> do no wrong, that youth, beauty and inno- cence are fit commodities to be sold over a counter-or across manicure table. It is unsparing in its denuncia- tion of those parents, who, secretly walking in forbidden ways them

BEST THEATER.

Today-Irene Fenwick and Owen Moore, those popular Famous Players stars, have the leading roles in "A Girl Like That" This is splendid Paramount offering which is bound to please. It has q tremendous human appeal and tEe daughter of the re- formed bank robber will win your sympathy and admiration in her strug- gle to keep her father straight and to keep herself from straying along the paths to which she has been accus- toned from childhood through the evil associates of her father.
 In contrast to their over-busy former life is the quiet simple life of the village. Here the girl works her way into their confidence and be- comes social favorite. The bashful young bank cashier falls in love with her and the love is reciprocated, So strongly that she falls in with band of bank robbers that she may frus- trate their plans.
 Irene Fenwick as the robbers daughter, Owen Moore as the bashful bank cashier, and Del Henderson, the director, all deserve great praise for their fine picture.

WEATHER FORCES
 HALT IN HOME
 GARDEN WORK Possible Many of the Early Planters Will Have to .z..z Replant.

The ground is too wet for any work to be done in the backyard gardens, and even with9la a continuance of yes- terday's welcome sunshine it will be
 two or three days before anything should be done by the home garden CTS.
 In the meantime, plans may be per- fected for taking up the work again as soon as the ground is in workable shape. Care must be taken not to do
 any work while the ground is wet. be-
 cause the soil will pack and harden in such manner as to virtually ruin everything that has already been done. Some home gardeners who had their seed in the ground so early that the plants were up with the recent
 snow and freezing weather arrived will have considerable replanting to do. Others, whose plants were not yet out of the ground, will find the weather has done them no damage. Over in Memphis, H. M. Cottrell, agriculturist of more than ordinary
 renown, especially in this section. and who is at the head of that work for the Memphis Business Mems club, is directing a home-garden campaign, in addition to carrying out his regular work among the farmers. He has only recently issued the following, as hlnts for home gardeners who have only very small plot of ground in which to make their gardens, and the hlnts may be of value here, under the same circumstances: Such vegetables as radishes and
 parsley can be, raised in large flow CT boxes for persons who have no garden room at all. Sandwich gardens" are becoming fad in Chicago. These are plots in
 congested sections and on apartment nroperty between the building and the sidewalk.
 Some of the Sandwich gardens are built upon brick sidewalks and concrete walks by building up with
 dead leaves, fertilizer and then dirt.
 The bed should be we'll sprlnkled oe- fore planting. Be careful not to make it too wet.
 Amateurs frequently err in buying
 late variety seed for early planting. Write down your list before gong Io the store. It is not imperative that the garden
 be ployed. If it is not plowed through, be sure to spade it thoroughly. get out all the grass roots and break up the Jumps.
 Early in the spring, when the
 ground is moist, seeds should be cov-
 cred as deep as later in the season when the surface of the ground De- , comes dry. ,4

SELECT BEST TOMATO PLANTS
Gardener Must Aim At Succession
Which viii Provide Supply
Throughout Growing Season.

Much care should be taken in the
choice Of tomato plants for setting out
Into the field. The small gardener who
depends on plants raised by the more
extensive grower must demand the
best plants from the standpoint of va
riety, health and vigor of the plants.
In determining the variety to be
planted the gardener must aim Mt
succession which will supply tomatoes
throughout the season. A combination
Of varieties that can be highly recon-
mended is, Earlina for real early (pre-
ferably Langden's), Chalks Early Jew
el, for mid-seasOn, and Stone or Red
rock for the late tomato.
If tomato plants have been given
plenty Of space in the hotbed and
good care from the start they will
have good stalky growth. Spindly
plants should be avoided. The ideal
plant will be from to 12 inches in
height and have stem measuring in
height at least three-eighths of IN inch
In diameter.

SMALL HOGS ARE DEMANDED
Animals Weighing From 200 to $50
Pounds Are in Greatest Favor
Cheapest to Raise.

The demand would indicate that
hogs weighing from 200 pounds to 250
pounds are in greatest favor on the
market. The farmer is looking for the
hog that he can produce cheapest and
the one that will convert the largest
amount of plantfood into the highest
priced pork, and the light hog seems
to supply that requirement. The
packer is looking for young but well.
matured animal. Large hams. shoul-
ders, and sides are no longer demand.
ed by the consuming public and con.
sequently packers must supply quar-.
ters Of medium size.

Teachers for 1918.

Miss Bess Lam bert, assistant

Miss Audrey Berry, room 4.
Miss Vera Smyth, room 3.
Miss Hattie M. Wirschinp,

Miss Letitia Mcfarland, room

Thus it will be noted that in
the above list nearly every one of
the teachers have had several
years work in our school, and to
say they have made good is evi
denced by they being held over
several years. Our school boa I'd
thinks teacher can get better
results after teaching several
years in the same school, their
value being greater as they are
in the schools service.
In the above list one of the
teachers will enter upon her
year, two others for
the sixth year, and only two of
them new teachers for the coming
term. But the new ones come
we'll recommended and we'll pre-.

A wanton case OF destruction &C.
Cured at about 2.30 Friday afternoon,
which called forth no small amount of
comment from those who saw it. A de-
livery team from the west side of the
river had just crossed the bridge and
included in the load was a peck Of po-
tatoes in a paper bag. AS the team
passed City hall the bag toppled from
the load and fell into the street, but
the driver knew it not and kept on to-
ward Cony hill. Not SO, however, the
driver of an ice team which was fol-
lowing behind, for he saw the bag fall
and break, allowing the spuds to scat
ter on the ground but he must have
been slow thinker for instead of
turning out for the valuable cargo on
the ground he drove directly over it..
many of the potatoes being crushed
under the wheels of the wagon and the
others scattered in the mud. The driy-
err of the grocery team was at length
made aware of his loss and gathered
some of the potatoes which had es-
capped. after which he returned to the
store to make up the shortage. The
final act in the drama was completed
when another man came along and
seeing the potatoes in the street made
dash for them with the same CELEBRITY
as ne would had they been gold mig.

dozen OF them into the pockets Of his
