Jean Hilton, wealthy orphan, is in
love with Jimmie Dexter, with whose
mother she lives. Mrs. Dexter is about
to send Jimmie to college when she
loses her small income. Jean hears
this, and through Squire Padgate. her
guardian, induces Mrs. Dexter to let
her supply the funds. Jimmie goes
to school and promptly gets in with a
fast set of older students. He meets
LLAMA Parish, a young cabaret singer
and Immediately falls in love with her,
and when he proudly declares that his
monthly check of 5000 is his weekly
allowance, she makes a net for him.
Jimmie spends most of his time with
Diana, while his mother and the little
girl back home are doing their own
housework in order to help him.

VEGETABLES ron WINTER.
Public safety Committee Urges the
Planting of More substantial Things
Than Garden Truck.

Than Garden Truck.
The Importance of planting In the
war garden other things than SUM
mer green stun is featured in the
statement of the gardening commit
tee of the public safety and prepared
ness COMMITTEES. issued today.
The tendency to overlook the sup
ply OF vegetables for next winter and
turn all efforts 20 garden truck which
can he used Immediately is the mis-
take which is pointed out i'm this lat
est report The statement reads:
1t Is the Conceusus of opinion
among truck farmers that potatoes,
which are the most useful Of all win
ter vegetables cannot be successfully
grown in this part OF the Rio Grande
valley. II is said. however. that there
are.a great many substitutes which
can he easily grown in the home gar
den which are quite as useful as po-
tatoes.
The Keeping qualities of winter
vegetables depends primarily upon
maturing them at just the proper time
in the fan, Even the households not
equipped with good vegetable cellars
can easily store large quantities Of
winter vegetables by burying them in
the ground outside. The preparedness
committee Will issue full institutions
on outdoor storing Of vegetables at
the proper time.
In the meantime it IL important
that gardens get their parsnips. sal
sify. winter squash and onions into the
ground at once, since all of these take
all summer to mature and il planted
ter use. IT is too late to plant onion
seed and. accordingly. onion stes should
be used The American public does not
take kindly to parsnips and satisfy,
nevertheless. the public must remem-
Der that they may have to learn to eat
lots of things next winter to which
they have heretofore been unaccustom-
ed. The strong point in favor of par
ships and satisfy is that both can be
left in the ground practically all win
ter and the harder it freezes the better
they get. Every garden which has
room for them should contain a supply
of both these vegetables.
ON or about July LIST. the gardener
should by all means put in a supply Of
winter beets. carrots, rutabagas, and
cabbage for winter use. All OF these
can De StOfeu Underground SucCeSSlu ul-
ly and an additional supply OF carrots
can be dried in the sun for use as soup
stock, for which purpose they are eN-
cellent. Rut" ba%". and tur"'"s are a.

potatoes. and IL Is absolutely sure that
the cost OF potatoes will be so high as
to make this expedient a very accepta-
BILE one in the average home. All these
vegetables, moreover, have the advan-
tage of producing very large yield
for a very small area.
Another hint for supplying the table
