RULES FOR MAINTAINING
GOOD HOME WAR GARDEN
BY LESLIE A
Humboldt County Agent


An early garden is the cheapest ant
quickest way Of supplying the vege.
tables needed on the table. The gar
den should be near the house anc
located so as to get as much sun as
possible. Do not plant too close tc
large trees, as the roots may inter.
fere with the growth of vegetables
The land should be well drained and
if natural drainage does not exist
some kind of artificial drainage
should be provided.
In places where the alkali is pres
ent a trench from Is to "a inches
deem around the garden plot will be
beneficial in draining off the alkali.
Do not make the garden too large. a
small garden well cared for will pro-
duce more and better vegetables than
a larger area with less care. The
whole area selected should be kept
filled with growing vegetables.
There are several ways of prolong-
ing the harvest season of a garden.
Make several paintings of the same
variety about two weeks apart. Plant
early and late varieties. The crops
can be so arranged that there will be
a constant supply for the home. Early
lettuce is a good companion crop for
early cabbage, as the lettuce natures
before the cabbage needs all the
Cucumbers and squash are frequently
planted in or near the sweet corn, so
that the vines will have a good place
ID run and the partial shade from
these crops is no. Injurious.
The distance apart to plant vege-
tables in a garden depends on two
shings: the size Of the plant and the
amount of room needle by the plan

Hands and Feet

At a busy crossing in Edinburgh n
cabman was stopped by the policeman
on point duty in order to allow the
cross traffic to proceed.
The man in blue, evidently proud of
his authority, kept the cabby waiting
longer than was necessary.
The cabman began to proceed, al
though the hand OF the policeman was
against him.
Did We no see me haudin' up my

Delicate Youth

Here is a little story made public
by the United States Marine corps:
Fearing that the rigors of warfare
would be too much for her delicate son,
a woman living at Fresno, Cal, wrote
to the United States Marine corps
headquarters at Washington, ask
Ing that the young man be dis
charged.
HE is too weak and delicate to be
In the service" she wrote. HE is a
blacksmith's helper by trade, and I
would prefer him to stay at his last
job"
The mother was informed that, for
the time being. her SON would remain

CHAPTER XVII.

All through the long night she lay
awake. struggling with the incredible
fact that Bill had left her; trying to
absolve herself from blame; faring up
in anger at his vnyielding attitude.
even while she was sorely conscious
that she herself had been stubbornly
unyielding. II he had truly loved her,
she reiterated, he would never have
made 1t an issue between them. But
that was like a man--to Insist on his
own desires being made paramount; |;
to blunder on headlong, no matter
what antagonisms he aroused. And
he was completely In the wrong. she
reasserted.
She recapitulated 1t all. Through
the winter he had consistently with
drawn into his shell. For her friends
and for most OF her pleasures he had

he had ended by tNraging both them
and her. and on top of,that demanded

"Are you going to sit down and fold

continued gently. "Seems to me that's
not like you at all. I never thought
you were a gutter"

resentfully. II refuse to be brow

sarcastically.

was half minded to say. But a devil
or perverseness spurred her. She was
full Of protest against everything.
II wish we'd had q baby" Bill mur-
mnred softly. "You'd be different.
You'd have something to live for be-
sides this frothy, neurotic existence

muttered.
"Ah. WELL" Bill sighed, II guess
there is no. use. guess we can't get
together on anything. There doesn't
seem to be any give-and-take between
Us any longer.
He rose and walked to the door.
With his hand on the knob, he turned.
II have fixed things at the bank for
you." he said abruptly.
Then he walked out, without wait
ing for an answer.
She heard the Aoft whir Of the ele-
Sator. A minute inter she saw him on

they really have are bad dispositions

"Now when a creature, tree, bird or
person is sad, then I'm very sorry and
try to help them, but it doesn't make
me miserable as crossness does. Oh.
crossness is perfectly dreadful to me,

"Oh see," said the tree. "But I
said that my story had made me an

"Ah yes," said the song sparrow,
'but you're not angry with everyone

'Then I'll tell my story" said the
tree.
"Go ahead, chirp, chirp," said the

listened with his head on one side.

CODS0L LOSES SUIT
IN DISTRICT COURT
Justice Hitz Dismissed Writ OF
Certiorari Sought by
the Prisoner.

Justice Hitz of the District Supreme
Court today dismissed the writ Of certi-
orari sued out by Frank ]. Godsol charged
with larceny from the French govern
ment by which the prisoner sought to
review the action Of United States Com
missioner Hit in committing him to jail
to await extradition papers from France
The court held that the United States
commissioner had jurisdiction of the sub
ject matter and Of the person of the
prisoner. and even admitting all that the
petitioner claimed, there could only have
been an error or mistake by the COM
missioner in the exercise of his jurisdic-
ton. Such error or mistake. if any. could
not be reached by writ of certiorari, the
court held.
The action of the court was regarded
as a setback to counsel for the accused
as the government lawyers had admit
ted there had been no arraignment OF
the prisoner. Commissioner Hit. how
ever, defended his action at the hear
ing yesterday and contended that the
admission of Godsors counsel that he
was the man named in the warrant
and that he would plead to the formal
papers on their arrival constituted
such arraignment as was sufficient for
the basis of a temporary commitment
under the provisions of the treaty
with France.
Counsel for Godsol took formal ex-
ception to the courts ruling, but de-
clined to state what further steps, If
any are in contemplation to secure the
release of Godsol from detention in the
District Jail. where he has been con-
fined since his arrest.

HARD COAL To DROP
50 CENTS ON APRIL |
Weaver's Fifty-Cent Cut Order
for D. C.. Consumers
Is Revoked.
DEALERS MADE PROTEST

Price of anthracite coal to Washington
consumers is to be 80 cents ton less. be-
ginning April l. by order of the United
States Fuel Administration, but the con-
sumers will not get the full benefit OF the
additional reduction of so cents a ton, or
dered some time ago. by John L. Weaver,
fuel administrator for the District
Mr. Weaver accomplished this reduc-
ton by cutting the gross margin of proht
to retailers from $3.50 to 81 a ton, wiping
out an increase which had been granted
last fall 10 meet local conditions. Deal
ers protested that the 81 margin still was
too small to enable them to continue in
business and asked that the Weaver order
be modified
ference of coal dealers with Mr..
Weaver, which was attended by l.. A
Sneed, representing the federal fuel
administration, and D. Paul Smelser of
the Federal Trade Board. 1t was agreed
that the reduction in margin ordered
by Mr.. Weaver was too large and the
order has been revoked. Further study
will be given to the subject. and within
a week or so new order will be issued
fixing the margin somewhere between
81 and $3.50.
Announcement of the reduction of 80
which is to continue from April l to
August !. was accompanied by regu-
laticns for its distribution TO domestic
consumers.
