How to Grow TuInips.

The turnip requires 4 rich soil and
may be grown either as an early or late
crop. For an early crop, sow the seeds
in drills L to Is inches apart as early in
the spring as the condition of the soil
will permit. \ half ounce Of seed is
sufficient for q 100foot row. After the
plants appear thin to about 5 inches
apart. The roots will be ready for use
before hot weather.
| For late turnips, the seeds are usually
sown broadcast on land from which
some early crop has been removed, and
for this reason the turnip is q good crop
to grow for storage for winter They
are quite hardy, and the roots need not
be gathered until after the first frosts
They may be stored in banks or pits q
III the outdoor cave or cellar, and keeT
best when kept rather cool.
The turnip is a good crop for inter
planting between rows of late corn o.

Tools for Small Garden.

In a small garden go by 50 feet,
1000 square feet, or smaller), where the
work is all done by man power rather
than by horse power, the only tools re-
quired are a digging fork or spade, a
steel-tooth rake, and a hoe. If the
spading is done by hired help the labor
er probably has his own spade or dig
ging fork and thus the gardener needs
only 4 hoe and a rake.
Two stakes and string as long as the
rows are to be made will serve the pur-
pose of purchased garden line to lay
off straight rows. The end of the rake
handle or hoe handle may be used to
mark out the row along the tightly
stretched string. The blade Of the ho'
may also be used for marking out The
row

Be Your True Self.

The charm of genuineness is very
real. No matter how thoroughly you
initiate something which you are not.
the imitation will differ in some fash
ION from the original. That is because
the imitation is governed little by
the basic qualities of the imitator.

How to Grow Collards.

The culture and uses of collards are
the same as for cabbage. The plants
should be started in very early spring
and set out as soon as the ground is in
condition. They withstand the heat bet
ter than cabbage and are much used IN
the southern portion Of the country.
Collards do not form a true head, but
instead q loose rosette of leaves, which
when blanched, are very tender and OF
delicate flavor.
No southern garden is complete with
out this plant. Too often, however, il
has constituted the sum total in tbs
shape of garden supplies. Use it, but
don abuse it.-U. S. Department o.

Just because new garden tools are
scarce and high in price the prospective
gardener need not despair Of preparing
the soil and planting a garden, because
it does not take many tools to work a
garden, and if new tools are too expen-
sivc perhaps the old ones may be mend
ed or secondhand ones bought at a
moderate cost

Tools Tor Medium Sized Garden.

For medium-sized garden pa by -
feet. 500 square feet, or between that
and 1000 square feet, provided the
ground is plowed by team, only two
tools are absolutely essential, namely,
the hoe and the rake. A digging fork
is desirable for digging potatoes and
breaking up ground that has become
packed, but the garden can be handled
without it. \ hand cultivator would
also be great service and a time saver,
but the crops can be cultivated with a

long, stout string will do to line out
straight rows. The hand cultivator has
several attachments, such as shovels,
cultivator teeth, pillow, rake, and weed
er, so il is scrviceable for many purposes
in caring for the garden. The digging
fork is u necessity in a large garden,
as is also a garden trowel used in trans
planting plants. The one piece iron
garden trowel is best and strongest and
may often be purchased for few cents.
Other Garden Tools.
There are many other garden tools for
special purposes which may be useful
occasionally, as follows:
Hoes.-There are at least six special
kinds Of hoes besides the ordinary
broad -bladed one in most common use
: which is generally called the garden
hoe, although it is really the square,

San Francisco, Nov. 29.-The death
sentence Of Thomas J. Mooney, con-
victed of murder in connection with
the bomb explosion which killed ten
people here July %, 1916, during a
preparedness day parade, having
been comm uted to life imprisonment
by Governor Stephens last night, no
further legal steps can be invoked in
Moneys behalf. attorneys said today.
Mooney who is an iron moulder by
trade, will be removed from the death
cell which he has occupied in San
Quentin penitentiary since July IT of
this year and given employment with
other prisoners.
Governor stephens had the case
under consideration since last March,
when the California supreme court
affirmed MONEYS conviction and an
application for pardon was made.
The governor said he had made a
careful review of the case and found
no reason why Mooney should escape
punishment. He declared there were

Many strikes had been planned for

against Moneys execution. whether

QUIT P. 0. SERVICE
AUTOCRACY OF BURLESON DIS
RUPTING THE DEPARTMENT.
Civil Service List Disappears and Sup.
ply of Clerks and Carriers Hired
at Employment Agencies.

In an interview in the Philadelphia
Public Ledger Gilbert Hyatt, presi-
dent of the National Federation of
Postal Employees, said that Postmaster
General Burleson has driven so many
competent men from the service that
it has fallen to pieces. The civil serv-
ice lists no longer supply the depart
ment and men are being hired thru the
ordinary channels. The postal service
requires competent and trained men.
New men are little better than none
at all until they are trained. That is
one reason for the poor service today
Mr.. Burleson has adopted an atti-
tude toward his subordinates which
strikes US more autocratic than most
big private employers of labor would
dare to adopt. Under his administra-
tion intimidation and coercion have
been practiced against the common
employees all over the country. Under
his administration to complain means
to suffer reprisals.
His bitter denial of the right of his
subordinates to organize for their own
benefit and his constant refusal to
even see, much less deal with the
elected representatives of these sub
ordinates, have infuriated the thinking
men among the postal employees.
From the standpoint of the A. F.
of L. his attitude has been profitable,
for it has served to weld the old in
dividual organizations of postal en-
ployes into a single body, affiliated
with the A. F. of l., prepared to ap-
peal to congress for relief and for
justice.
"Burleson's expressed labor policy is
in such direct opposition to the policy
of President Wilson, expressed at the
recent convention of the A. F. of l.,
that we believe the president will see
the necessity of a new policy in the
postoffice department when the facts
are laid before him"

WHY THE BONUS PLAN PAYS
Pure Business and Not Sentiment Act
uates Employers to Give 1t.

The belief that a bonus to workers
is the result of sentiment is given a
rude shock by the following, taken
from the financial page of the New
York Times:
The popular impression that the
annual bonus which a great many fl
nancial institutions are in the habit of
giving to their employees at the end of
the year is in the nature of something
for nothing, a free-will offering top
ping liberal salary, is wrong. The
bonus originated as a profit-sharine
scheme to reward clerks for extra
tasks imposed upon them in busy sea-
sons and not contemplated when their
wages were fixed. The Wall street
employe must take the lean with the
fat. which means that he must cheer
fully miss his regular train home
night after night for so long as bust
ness runs above normal. When busi-
ness is good he works many hours
overtime, and his year-end gift is
large; when times are dull he shares
part of the cost by receiving a smaller
bonus. A banker who has always
urged upon his directors the distribu-
ton of liberal sums each Christmas
says that as a result he almost never
loses an employe, and can get more
work done in an emergency than he
has any right TO expect from a force

coming toward her again, but on the
instant Sally was sure she heard
tiny sound. Yes, and the knob of the
