shown in the plan it may be well to sub

HOME GARDEN HINTS
A Plan for a Small Home
Garden.

This garden plan is based upon very
intensive cultivation, very fertile soil and
plenty of moisture throughout the entire
growing season. In order to mature the
beans, carrots and tomatoes in midsum-
mer it will probably be necessary to irri-
gate when the rainfall is not sufficient for
the garden. 1t will be noted that the plan
calls for a second and third planting in
the case of number of vegetables. These
should be planted in the same rows after
maturity of the previous crop.

Rapid Growth Of
Junior Taxpayers
League Assured
President Meyerson, Founder
Purpose TO Educate Fut-
ure Property Owners

Although Organized only last year,
the success Of the Junior Taxpayers
League is assured. The organization
owes its formation to Charles y.

George Rcubel, jr, first vice-presl-
dent; Morris Jacobs, second vice-presi-
dent: Harry ". Goodman, treasurer;
Samson Friedlander, counsel; Charles
S. Meyerson, honorary president; Clara
Polsky, financial secretary; Lotta
Grcines, corresp onding secretary, ana
Julia Bauman, recording secretary.
The aims Of the league arc: To educate
the future realty owner 10 his or her
responsibility as such an owner. ms
is accomplished IN part by means OF
lectures by prominent officials and by
discussions among members.
To oppose detrimental and 70 foster
beneficial legislation 10 the realty
owner. This is attained by having
committees appear AZ hearings before
The Board Of Aldermen or Board Of
Estimate and by the league sending
resolutions TO the various gov
ernmental bodies, on measures coming
up which may affect realty
To instill a social spirit IN the realty
owners OF the future This IS accom-
plished by means Of balls, sociables
and entertainments.
