to crave special privileges but it is not
justice to the fellow who is not on the
inside and does not get these special
privileges.
The following article from the Tam
pa Tribune of yesterday gives inform
alton as to what is necessary to make
changes in the charter of city and
the Tribune suggests a commission
form of government for Tampa. Read
this article and think over the propo-
sition of a commission form of gov
eminent for Tarpon Springs:
Amending the Charter.
"The Tribune is competently advised
that, under the act passed by the last
legislature, in reference to changes in
municipal charters, the city cannot OBJ
tain an amendment to its charter ex-
cept under the plan designated in that
act-the election of charter board,
which shall prepare such amendments
as are deemed proper and, in turn,
submit them to vote of the people
for approval. 1t is the opinion of The
Tribune, based on legal advice, that
the charter of this city cannot be
amended by the legislature but only
through election of charter board.
The purpose of the act in question was
to save the Legislature the time and
annoyance of the numerous local fights
which bobbed up at every session over
matters of charter amendment.
If it is deemed advisable, therefore,
to make certain amendments to our
charter, such as have been suggested,
and we must go through two elections
in order to make these amendments
one electing board, another passing
on the amendment submitted will
doubtless be both wise and economical
to, at the same time, make other
amendments which the people of this
city regard as demanded by changed
conditions. Since we must do all this
to amend the charter in few Details.
why not make the time and trouble
worth while by attending to that i'm
portant job which we have heretofore,
attempted but in which we have been
out-counted-the adoption of an en-
tirely new charter, putting into effect
a commission form of government"

Germany is Respectful.

Berlin, Jan. 26.-The reception in
Germany of President Wilson's "peace
speech" before the United States SEN
ate last Monday has been respectful in
all quarters, and especially by the
most influential newspapers. The Ger
man mind seems to be more receptive
to peace proposals than that of the
Entente countries. Germany recog-
nizes the presidents sincerity, but dip
lomatically the document is regarded
as skillful because it is capable of
being interpreted as favorable to
themselves by both sides in the great
war struggle.
The Lokal Anzeiger and the Nation
al Zeitung see in the entire Wilson
move impractical idealism and charac-
terize the president as an animated
theorist." The speech is called a phil
osophical-theological work composed
of beautiful words which are immedi-
ately dispelled in fog when an effort
is made to discover a practical mean
ing.
Other newspapers speak kindly of
President Wilson's intentions, but de-
clare that his speech was composed
for American readers and contains
theories that are utterly unacceptable
to European governments and sug-
gestions that are wholly impractical.

THE OLD SPANISH
TRAIL CONVENTION
MAY IS AND l9.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 27.-Next official
convention of the Old Spanish Trail
has been definitely settled on FOR May
18th and 10Th at Tallahassee, Fla. In
connection with the convention Talla-
hassee will be sending out a conven-
tion-boosting car over the Old Spanish
Trail from Miami to Houston, and
one of the features of convention will
be report on this stretch of the Old
Spanish Trail by officials in the car.
Another important feature of this con-
vention will be received at this con-
vention. A large attendance seems to
be a certainty.
Holmes county, Fla, has sold bonds
for the completion of their portion of
the Old Spanish Trail between Argyle
and the river and good progress on
work is being made.
Santa Rosa county, Fla, is actively
advocating bond issue to complete
their section of the Old Spanish Trail.
A brick highway leads out from
Jacksonville for IA miles and prac-
tically all the remaining distance is
a poor sand road. The, railroad is fol-
lowed closely through piney woods
where few habitations exist. Lake
City has good garage and hotels and
Jacksonville provides for every re-
quirement of motorists. The route to
Tampa runs south from Lake City.
Bond issues have been voted to take
care of all this stretch.
A splendid ferry with continuous
service and nominal charge is oper-
ated between Jacksonville and South
Jacksonville. More than Is miles Of
this drive is over brick highways and
the remainder is shelled. A very bad
sandy spot is encountered for a mile
north of the Duval-St. John county
line. Pine forests with an underground
of palmettos line the roadway for long
distances. The side trip to Pablo and
Atlantic beaches is brick pavement. !,

Dutch Newspapers Disapprove.

The Hague, Jan. 26.-Such criticism
of President Wilson's peace note as
has appeared in the Dutch newspapers
is kindly but pessimistic. Some of
them profess to see yelled threats, 9TH

immediate results and yet others adj

A REL|G|O-PH|LOSOPH|C ONE

Washington, Jan. 26.-Debate on
President Wilson's peace speech was
again postponed today in the senate
Neither Senator Cummins nor Sena-
tor Borah called up his resolution
the former fixing January 20 for a
free-for-all fireworks and the latter
calling upon the senate to reaffirm its
faith in the principles of Washington,

ces with foreign nations.

Spaniards See the Big Stick.

Madrid, Jan. 26-The newspapers
of Spain have not given much COM
ment to President Wilson's peace note
but such as have done so suggest that
he uses soft phrases and utters fine
theories of peace and brotherly love,
but doubt the sincerity of such when
he is urging so strenuously greater
navy and bigger army upon the
United States.

President Still Encouraged.

Washington, Jan. 26.-While no di-
rect communication has yet been re-
ceived from any belligerent country
touching upon President Wilson's
peace speech, unofficial reports which
are believed to be authentic greatly
encourage the administration to feel
that good will come of it.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW

them two feet apart between the
drills.
When using the hill system of
planting, drop four or six beans to a
hill, making the hills foot apart.
When fully up, thin out to three or
four to a hill.
Beans are legumes, like peas,
clover and alfalfa, and do best when
the soil in which they are growing
is inoculated with the bacteria which
attach themselves TO the roots and
form little nodules. This form of
bacteria may be in your soil, but II
the soil has lain dormant for num-
ber of years or has been planted in
grass or other non-leguminous plants
it is likely that there are few or
none. For twenty-five cents you can
get from any seedman package of
bacteria culture with which to in
oculate enough beans to plant an
eighth of an acre. and it is not
| difficult to use. The results will
we'll repay you for using 1t. The re-
suits writing for 1t, ask for "legume
bacteria culture" for beans.
Beans require frequent cultiva-
! ton, always drawing the soil up
around the plants. If the wheel
cultivator is used it will be we'll to
go over them with the hoe to get
the soil we'll up to the plants. Work
them when the crust forms after
rains. and at all times when neces-
sary to keep down the weeds.
The Best Sorts
One of the best early green-pod-
! ded beans is Stringless Green Pod;
I another is Improved Extra Early
Red Valentine. They can be used for
succession all summer, paintings be-
! ing made at intervals so that there
/ mil hn
have sufficient space to do this. The
aim should be to pick the whole
crop of one set of vines at one pick
ing.
Good yellow or wax beans for first
early are Brittle Wax, Dwarf Black
Wax and Stringless Refugee Wax.
Good pole beans are Kentucky
Wonder, White Creaseback, McCas-
land, Lazy Wife and Golden Cluster
! Wax.
Never work with or about bear
stalks when they are not perfectly
dry. or you are liable to spread the
spores of fungus disease called
rust, which covers them with brown
spots and spoils them for snap beans
Select the afternoon of dry days tc
cultivate beans.
Lima beans come. in both the
dwarf and pole kinds, and are grown
similar to the snap shorts, but the
bean alone is used for food. The
dwarf sorts should be planted siS
inches apart in the row, and the tai
ones six beans around a pole. Give
them q top dressing OF chicken
manure when we'll started. and work
it into the soil. The dwarf ones car
be sprouted in the house in moist
sand and set out as soon as warm
enough. and weeks time gained ir
maturity,

woman gasped.

claimed
Il got it damp, and this is the
result" Helen explained. II had
not noticed before just how cheap
the lining is she went on. You

Just a minute" said the sales
woman, }beckoning another woman
who was passing. The newcomer
! happened to be the buyer, and after
a cursory examination, she said
brightly, We'll have it entirely re-
lined for you, Mrs. Curtis. I'll send
it back to the factory and you'll
get it in a weeks time"
"Oh, but L can't spare it a week"
| Helen exclaimed quickly.
well, you see We'll have to make
the factory stand the expense for
the lining. or else l could do it for
| you here"
Helen was thinking quickly. If the
suit were sent back to the factory
might not the new lining be just
as bad as the old? Besides, she want
ed to wear the suit the next evening,
and time was worth little money.
Gould you have it refined for me
here if I bought my own lining? Sho
questioned. I'D almost rather do
that. and then I'd know just what
was being put in the suit 1t is cer-
tainly worth a better HnirS HsA~ >

mo doubt they would put bettor
lining in it," the woman responded;
but if you are in a hurry for 1t, I
could have it done for you imme-
dat ly, if you wanted to get your
own lining"
TN go down stairs and get it
now" Helen said, deciding quickly;
''and then I can have the suit to-
morrow
Certainly; it can be done imme-
/ diately."
Helen hurried off toward the ele-
Vator with a sense of satisfaction.
OF course the lining would cost her
something, but the suit was worth
it. She was sure that Warren would
approve of what she had done. If
it hadn't been for Warren, things
would have have been all upside
down.

Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-05-04

At this time of year when we say
beans our thoughts turn to the
''snap-short" kinds, which we hope
to have in our gardens in the early
summer rather than the 'pork-and"
ones, which are perennial
There is an old tradition, common
among country people, that the green
beans are best for boiling with meat,
especially pork, and the yellow-pod-
ded or wax" beans for dressing with
butter, pepper and salt, or white
sauce. If you have any such pref
erence, make your paintings accord
| ingly. There are a number of good
varieties of each kind, both in bush
and pole beans.
Nothing is to be gained by plant
ing the bush beans outdoors too
early, as they are very tender and
one light frost may either kill or re-
tard them more than a week or
more's later planting. OF course, if
you are equipped to cover or other
wise protect them and are sure to
attend to it, you can get an earlier
crop by taking some risk. But. in
any case, it will not be wise to plant
until the ground is warm and the
weather somewhat settled, as beans
planted in cold or soggy soil are like
! ly to rot in the ground.
The Various Varieties
Beans naturally divide themselves
in the following classes: The dwarf
green and yellow podded, the dwarf
shell beans, which are matured, and
beans shelled out for winter use;
the tall, or pole, green and yellow
podded, and the tall shell beans for
winter. Few persons grow, any of
! the shell beans in small home gar
dens, and we will not further con-
slider them here.
For beans the soil should be rich
and mellow. To get them tender at
picking time they should have quick
and continuous growth, and this is
| best assured when they are planted
in a warm, rich, porous soil, we'll
drained and given plenty of water.
| Well-rotted manure, dug into the
trench, is best, when applied at this
time of year, and the soil should be
made fine with the shovel when
! digging and finished with the rake.
Beans are planted in two general
ways: In hills and in burrows or
drills. Cleaner cultivation can be
given by the hill system, but more
can be grown in the same space of
garden by the drill plan.
BY the hill system you can hoe
all around them, but when planted
in drills. if you have many weeds,
it will require hand-weeding along
the rows where the hoe cannot
| reach.
As some beans, for different rea-
sons, do not germinate, it will pay
to plant them rather thickly. and
thin out in the drills to four inches
apart. Make the drills as far apart
as may be convenient. If to be work
ed entirely with the hoe. eighteen
inches apart will do; If to be worked
with the wheel cultivator. make
