Bed Has 1900 Tulip Bulbs.

One of the handsomest beds at the
garden is just coming into bloom. This
contains 5000 tulip bulbs carefully
selected. Two varieties of the double
tulip murillo have attracted much at
tention.
The display of pansies is especially
attractive Large beds Of these flow
er faces" have been set out all around
the fountain, and there are several in
fancy plants now in bloom at the gar
den.
The geraniums this season are far
ahead of last year. and when the two
large beds on the south side of the
main grounds of the garden are set
out they will have a very vivid color
ing.
More than 100 new gladioli Seeding
in the propagating houses are being
watched carefully. These have been
secured from California through Rep
resentative Kent. who has a noted hor-
ticulturist in charge of his estate at
Kentville. Some of these seedlings
are valued at $500 n plant.
For those who have made a study of
orchids there is much pleasure in
visit to the garden. for nine of the
rarest varieties are row in bloom. This
flower is remarkable for the fact that
it shows shades of coloring nowhere
else duplicated. One of the choice
orchids has just been painted by Mrs
Charles d. Walcott. wife of the secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution,
who has presented the picture to
Charles w. Hess. the superintendent of
the garden.

STORE AND SAVE
WATER ON FARM
Reservoirs Properly Built Con-
serve the Supply For Irriga-
lion and For Live Stock

Washington, D. c., Nov. eff the
water which goes to waste on the
farm in times of plenty were con-
served for times of drought, gardens
and fields might be saved from fail
ure and livestock from a sacrifice
market. Farm reservoirs store wa
ter of streams, pumped water or run
off water until it is needed. A wide
ly increased interest in pump irrIga-
tion has created a demand for Stor-
age facilities to retain the water
lifted by the pump overnight and 10
provide large irrigation stream for
the following day. That farmers
who contemplate building reservoirs
may he properly guided in the work,
u new publication, Farmers Bulle-
tir S2S, Farm Reservoirs" discus

construction. recently has been puD-
lisced by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

the type of construction, according
to the writer of the bulletin. If it is

water for drinking or even for culin-
airy purposes. the entire supply must
be kept free from pollution, while If
the supply is intended for irrigation
only, the purity of the water need
not be considered. If q reservoir Is
intended for both irrigation and the
watering of farm animals, care
should be taken in planning and
building so that damage can not be

Problems of building-how to locate
a reservoir, when q concrete lining is
advisable, how to puddle" an un-
lined reservoir, how to build inlets,
outlets, waste ways, embankments,
and how 20 protect the reservoir
all are discussed and illustrated in
the bulletin.
The most common source of sup
ply for farm reservoirs is the well,
from which water is raised to the
necessary height by a windmill, gas
engine, or electric motor. The flow
from springs, lakes, flowing wells,
and small creeks forms another
source of supply. Also, in that bor-
derland between humidity and arid
ity known as the Great Plains area,
and throughout the arid region, the
so-called dry creeks carry con-
siderable water at times. Part of
TINS run-Ott, the specialist declares,
often can be led into a reservoir and
stored for watering stock and irri-
eating land. In the Atlantic and
East Central States and, in fact,
throughout the entire humid re-
gion water to fill farm reservoirs gen
orally can be obtained readily at low
cost from springs, lakes, streams, and
shallow wells. Boys or muck beds,
which abound particularly in the At
lantic Coast States, often can be con-
verted at small cost from mosquito
breeding grounds into serviceable
reservoirs.

The need for stenographers to
meet war demands is so keen that the

sion has gone to the length of calling
upon the help of clergymen and
newspapers the country wide. The
demand is for stenographers and type
writer's, or the latter exclusive. The
appeal sent out in this neighborhood
is signed by George S. McCrone, sec
retary of the board of examiners,
with offices in the Post Office. JIe
asks each clergyman to read the
appeal to his congregation and Sun
day school,. as "a patriotic duty"
The Civil Service Commission
points out that it is the manifest
duty of citizens with this special
knowledge to use it at this time
when it will be of most value TO
the government. Civil Service is as
much a part of the war organization
as the Army and Navy and qualified
persons are urged to enter examina-
tions and accept government employ
ment even at personal sacrifices. Wo-
men may find in this office work to
help the government in practical
way.

LOCALS GET GooCH.

Manager Kriche1l has signed Out
fielder Lee Gooch for the Bridgeport
club and expects the player to be on
hand for today's game against Port
land. Gooch is the property Of the
Athletics and was farmed by Connie
Mack to Springfield. He was order
ed to report to his home in Oxford,
N. c., to take the draft examinations
and Springfield let him go when
Manager O'Hara had chance to sign
the veteran Pete Clemens. O'Hara
figured it would be better to keep
Clemens. who could surely remain
for the season. than take a chance on
Gooch, who might be called into ser
vice.
Gooch hit hard for Springfield. He
says he has passed his army exam
nations but does not expect to be
called before Sept. 1. 1t Is probable
that Gooch will replace linn in right
field. The veteran has been hitting
poorly and his fielding has been bad
in recent games.

WILH0lT STAR IN
RALLY OF GIANTS

st. Louis, MO-. Aug. 10.-By a. SPLEEN
dfdly game rally in the tenth inning
the Giants gathered three runs and
beat out the Cardinals yesterday at
ternoon by to 1. The score was tied
at one run each in the second inning,
and from that until the finish, al
though both teams hit freely, neither
could put across the winning run until
the climax in the extra frame.
Rob without, who was the hero of
the Pirate series, was the player who
started the New Workers on their win
ming rally. He batted in place Of Glib
son and led off with a single to right.
The hit was on the Texas league or
der, but it finally resulted in the scor-
ing Of the run that broke the long
continued tie.
After without had anchored safely
on first, Schupp drew a pass, Meadows
loskng control temporarily. Burns fol-
lowed Schupp with the prettiest sort
of safe hunt toward third that so rat
tied Baird and Meadows that neither
made play with the ball. The bases
were filed by Burns's safety and with
none down.
Herzog tried to bounce the ball over
the close-playing dnf1elders and nearly
succeeded, but Hornsby made a fine
stop to the first base side of second
and touched out Burns but without
easily scored on the play, Schupp adj
vancing to third. Kauff came across
with a wicked welt to right of a single
that put Schupp over the plate and
sent Herzog to third.
| Zimmerman put in one Of his timely
taps-a long single to right center
and Herzog registered the third tally
| of the inning.
Schupp was betted for eight hits,
one a triple, by Paulette, in the third,
and three hits were punched off him
| in the sixth, but sharp fielding pre-
vented the Cards from scoring in that
| inning. Meadows was batted hard
throughout the game, but many of the
Giants hardest ticks were na!bbed.
