hands it is contended that the
wholesale and jobbing interests
would be better served il the Mil

own quarters. Under the deal with
the Burlington it is obliged to pay

Bridget flies the green flag Of the

Shop novelties are more entranc-
ingly Irish than ever. The wee

the song writer who waxed ecstatic

futtered down onto the briny deep
wasn't far wrong. Artificial en-

OBTAINS PATENT
ON INVENTION
OF NEW PLOW

Word was received here yester-
day that Richard M. Iverson, 61S
Thirteenth avenue. is on his way
home from Washington, where he
went last week to secure a patent
upon q new pillow. His mission was
successful, he announced by wire.
The pillow designed by Mr.. LIVER
son is similar in form to the COM
mon pillow used by farmers. The
innovation is in the method of at
tacfing the share 10 the rest of the
implement VERSIONS invention is
such that a simple lever arrange
ment releases and holds the share
rigidly in place. The inventor
claims that in this way a farmer
who breaks his share while plow-
ing in the field need not be unduly
delayed, since he can soon secure
an accessory share and clamp it
into place in a few seconds. The
arrangement OF the plows now in
use prohibit such quick change, in
some instances q skilled tradesman
being required to renew a share.
In others the breaking of the share
puts the whole implement out of
business.
MIR. Iverson is young man who
has been employed for the past II
years by the Rock Island Plow
company. His present occupation
is as pillow filter, and he is study
ing all angles Of the pillow business.
He intends to dispose Of the patent
to some manufacturing firm rather
than to put it upon the market
himself. 1t is stated that he has
received several offers from COM
panies favoring the idea.

Want Fertilixing.
The grounds used for the gar
dens are school and park sites on
Ninth street. about six acres in
area. This ground must be fertil-
lied this year, according to Mr..
Fisher. unless the time and effort
expended on its cultivation are to
be wasted. The ground has not
been fortified properly since the
garden project was first begun. four
years ago. This will be a large
item in the expense Of the gardens.
A further expense is in the
amount paid a competent director
of the gardens. and the cost Of ma
terial and tools.
The committee feels that the pro-
ject will receive the hearty sup
port of the public. it is stated by
Mr.. Fisher. if it can be brought to
a realization of the great amount
of benefit accruing to children in
the cultivation Of these gardens and
the importance OF the gardening
as an educational feature.
