son and California Cream Butter are
good varieties The loose-leaf lettuce,
Grand Rapids or black-seeded Simp-
son are recommended.
Radishes are so hardy that they
may be grown through the winter in
cold frames in the latitude of Wash
ington, and farther South in the open
ground. In the North, they require
hotbeds, but can be sown in the open
ground as soon as the soil is moder-
ately warm. They should be planted
in drills . to 1S inches apart and
thinned slightly as soon as the plants
are up. On quick, rich soil some of
the earlier varieties can be matured
in from to weeks after planting
If the plants are allowed to remain
long in the open ground, the roots
loose their crispness and delicate
flavor, and, in order to secure a con-
slant supply, successive paintings
should he made every twb weeks. One
ounce of radish seed is sufficient to
plant 100 feet of row. A large per-
centage of the seed terminates and,
If the sowing is done carefully, later
thinning may be unnecessary. The
first radishes to appear may be pulled
as soon as they are of sufficient size,
and this will leave enough room for
those that are little later. The plant
is not suited to hot weather, but
should be planted in the early spring
and late autumn.

TIMELY HINTS FOR
THE HOME GARDENEES
Radishes and Lettuce

Washington, d. c., March "a
Radishes and lettuce are favorite
plants in small gardens because, while
these are attractive additions to the
table, they are in a way luXuries on
which many housewives hesitate to
spend money.
Lettuce does not withstand heat
we'll and thrives best, therefore, in the
early spring or late autumn. In or
der to have the leaves crisp and ten
growth of the plant. The usual method
of growing the plant for home use is
to sow the seeds broadcast in the bed
and to remove the leaves as rapidly
as they become large enough for use.
1t is better, however, to sow the seeds
in rows IA to Is inches apart, and
when the plants come up to thin them
to the desired distance. With the
heading type this should be about II
inches apart. This will result in the
formation of rather compact heads
and the entire plant may then be cut
for use. For an early crop in the
North, the plants should be started in
a hotbed or cold frame and trans
planted as soon as hard freezes are
over. In many sections of the South,
the seeds are sown during the au-
tumn and the plant allowed to re-
main in the ground over winter. Fre-
quent shallow cultivation should be
given the crop and, if crisp and ten
der lettuce is desired during the sum-
mer months, some form of partial
shading may be necessary.

CHAPTER Xxx
BY Virginia Terhunc Van DeWater


Copyright, 1917, Star Company
The man Tom Norton introduced
to me was straight, tall and broad
shouldered. His eyes were clear and
blue, his hair light brown and his skin
fair.
"Clear-cut" was the epithet that
came into my mind when l looked
into his face. AS he greeted me, he
showed a set of regular white teeth
in a fiashingly brilliant smile. In
that brief instant l understood why
Tom admired Hugh Parker.
'I am very glad to meet you, Miss
Dart" he said, bowling over my hand.
And although 1 did not know him,
felt sure that he meant what he
said.
II came down to get this book"
l explained, taking the volume from
the table where 1 had left it that aft
ernoon.
But as 1 started toward the door,
Tom spoke.
IT say-whats the hurry?" he ask
ed protestingly. why not stay here
and talk with us for {. few minutes? ?''
looked at him in surprise. He
seemed to have undergone a subtle
had seen him only as the not very
happy and little understood son of the
house, sometimes on the defensive,
seldom sure of himself.
But now, with this man who was
some years his senior, he spoke with
naturalness and ease that altered
| his whole bearing.
He stood by his friend, looking
! squarely at me as a man of the world
might have done, yet with a boyish
| impulsiVeness that warmed my heart
| toward him. The idea came to me
that he might always be like this if he
were in the company of those who
understood him as his present COM
panion probably did.
YES" Mr.. Parker seconded his sug-
gestion promptly, why not stay and
talk to us? You see 1 want to know
Toms people"
But" l laughed, 81 am not one
of his people-and l must be going

Tom asked, noting for the first time
that / wore a simple afternoon gown
and was not dressed for the evening,
He had forgotten, or he did not know
that l was not in the habit of coming
to the family dinner table at night.
The situation was awkward, and
the only thing for me to do was to
speak frankly. 1t cost me an effort
| to do this.
Thank you, Mr.. Tom" I asked
"but the little girl will be expecting
me upstairs. My place is with her, you

Sounds of revelry continued to pour
in through the street window. The

gested Jeffries.
"Think of it." gasped Lefever, "to

"Now that" declared Jeffries, wax
ing up as if for the first time inter
ested, "is exactly where you made your
mistake, John. A gunman shoots his
best when there's somebody shooting
at him. That's why you shoot we'll
because you're gunman, and not a
narksman."
THAT boy can shoot all around me,
Jeff"
"For instance" continued Jeffries,
If you had put Gale Morgan up
gainst Henry, and told him to shoot
at each other, instead of against each
other, you'd have got bulPs-eyes to
burn from De Spain. And the Gala
basas crowd wouldn't have your
money. John, If you want to win
money, you must study the psycholog.

There was abundance of ralllery in
Lefever's retort: That's why you are
rich, Jeff7"
"No, I am poor because i failed to
study it. That is why am at Sleepy
Cat holding down a division. But
now that you've brought Henry up
here, We'll keep him."
"What do you mean, keep himT'
demanded Lefever, starting in protest
II mean I need him. 1 mean the
time to shoot a bear is when you see
him. John, what kind of fellow is
De Spain?" demanded the superintend'
ent, as If he had never heard of him.
Lefever, regarding Jeffnes keenly
exclaimed with emphasis: "Why, il you
want him short and sharp, he's a man
with a soft eye and snap-turtle jaw
a man of close squeaks and short-arm
shots, always getting into trouble, al.
ways getting out; a man that can
wheedle more out Of horse than any.

INCREASING FOOD
SUPPLY OF NATION
AIM OF WOMEN
Suffragists Receive Call to Mo-
bilize For Farming and
Gardening

A new national defense force is to
make it's advent throughout the coun-
try--a force which is described by AS
sistant Secretary Carl Vrooman, of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, as one which will be of
as much value in times of peace as in
war. 1t will operate under both fed
eral and state supervision.
This new force will be feminine in
gender and suffragistic in efficiency.
In addition it will have an important
integral part in Pennsylvania. In fact,
it will carry women back to the land,
wherever that land is-in rural, urban
or suburban districts.
State Bureaus
In brief, the movement described is
the mobilizing by the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association, the
Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation and other state suffrage asso-
Citations of their entire membership to
work under Department of Suffrage
Agriculture" to increase the national
food supply by gardening and farm
ing and the elimination of waste.
Members, in all probability will adopt
a simple uniform, and, following an
enrolment which is to take place i'm
mediately, will inaugurate in detail a
great department having a central unit
in every state in which it will op
crate and local bureaus in various
| sections of the states.
The new department" is the direct
result of note sent to the President
and government February %, which
was accepted by the Secretary of War.
This note was forwarded by the eX-
| ecutive council of the National ASso-
citation and offered the entire machin-
| cry of that organization to the PreSl-
dent in event of hostilities between
this and any other country.
Units of Plan
The general plan of organization
| includes:
Chairmen for each state to have
charge of suffrage agriculture with an
executive committee to assist her.
Cooperation with State Department
| of Agriculture to map out and put de-
! tailed plans into effect.
Organization of LEGAL leagues to have
suffrage agricultural chairman, who
will enroll women into non dues pay
| ing farm garden n-and-vacant-lot clubs.
Pledging each woman member to
| farm or plant vegetable garden on
her own lot or on land to be secured.
Cooperation in a movement for cul-
tivating vacant city lots.
Studying courses in gardening and
! farming.
Distribution of national and state
agricultural bulletins.
Public lectures with speakers from
county farm bureaus and State agri-
cultural department and colleges.
Suffrage agricultural booths at
county fairs. f.
Agricultural autom obile campaigns.
Prizes to be awarded for best vege-
tables.
Canning centers in charge of trained
women from agricultural schools.
Instruction of canning volunteers.
Already in the Ranks
Farming and gardening as directed
by the Department of Suffrage Agri-
culture throughout the country will
not be a novelty so far as nearly two
million women are concerned.
