What to Plant in Your Garden.

What crop to plant in the home gar
den will depend upon the size OF the
garden, the size of the family and the
size of the family's appetite. Where
the garden space is extremely limited
only those crops that viii produce a
considerable quantity OF food on a
small area should be included.
As rule home gardeners, especially
the beginners, devote too much space
to lettuce and radishes and too little to
beets, carrots, reans, onions and to-
matoes, according to United States
department of agriculture specialists.
Where the family is small it is easy
to oyerplant most of the garden crops.

be saved by canning and drying, 9TH

No Remedy Suggested.

Doubtless many have read the
thoughtful article on the small towns
Of Vermont written by Paul p. Jones
of Windhsm and published in Satur-
DAYS Reformer. II l. one of the best
articles that have been offered by resi-
dents of small towns and is encourag
ing because it shows the residents Of
the smaller sections are seriously
thinking upon the subject. The dis
couraging feature is the acknowledge
ment of the writer that he cannot sug-
gest "a workable solution"
Evidently Mr.. Jones sees only fur
Their decline OF the hill towns owing
to the development Of farm machinery
which cannot DC utilized in those sec
tons. but the clinging to the town or

Railroad Administrations Farewell.

With the railroad administration at
an end, it is TO be hoped that its work
will be made the subject Of an exhaus-
| tive critical survey, free from hattery,
enmity and propaganda Unfortunate
ly, comment hitherto has been largely
inspired by hostility to the idea OF per.
manent government ownership very
| different thing-and some of the alb.
surd expressions of relief az the return
OF the railroads to private management
have arisen in the feeling that the
peril" OF government ownership has
been averted. But, in order to incul-
cate the ''lesson' of the past two years.
the animadversions on railroad man
agement during the period of govern.
ment control are more extreme than
ever.
In the railroad world itself. the ma
jority of officials are naturally delight
ed at having their properties in their
own hands again; they are thankful
that they can develop their lines as
they see the need and opportunity and
that their traffic will no longer be as
signed TO them, perhaps by the chief
official of a road that under normal
conditions is a competitor But the
principal criticism of the railroad adj
ministration in the railroad world is
that it undertook Capitalization Of
management TO a degree where com
plete success was impossible in the ma
ture of things. On the other hand
unified management has permitted not
able economies few of them unwise
ones, no doubt and il has been shown
that II management centralized in so
high degree is not a good thing. y cen
trail direction of traffic, whether on re-
gional or national scale. is not merely
a good thing, but in an emergency an
Indispensable thing. II is generally
agreed that the benefits Of unifcation
must be continued. Many Of the tech
nical results Of the railroad administra-
tion-the use Of standardized locomo-
tives, for example-will be differently
appraised. But such incidental under
takings as the safety campaign, the
fuel saving campaign, the campaign
for better loading. etc. have been a net
gain because the more backward roads
were prodded into attempting what the
most progressive roads had already
been doing. The executive expenses Of
the railroad administration are said 20
have been about Ss.000.OUO a year. II
this is correct. there has been littlc 4

SAILOR BROWN
SOON WENT DOWN

Action of Joe

NEWPORT, R. l., MANS
CONDITION POOR
After First Fall He Soon
Succumbed to the
Barre Man

Sailor Brown of Newport, r. l.,
sailed into" Barre on the old G. v
line last evening about 80 minutes
late, but not too late to have Joe
| Shimkus anchor his shoulders to the
mat in 81 minutes and 10 seconds with
body scissors and wrist lock in the
| first round of finish wrestling match.
Then he was compelled to give the
peace signal in the second round, when
| Shimkus got toe hold, completing the
| second fall in nine minutes and 80
seconds.
The sailor was clever wrestler, with
| an abundance of strength, but his con-
dition fell far short of his opponents.
He is slightly more than five feet six
inches in height, sturdily built, with a
lightning quickness. He broke from sew
eral perilous holds by utilizing the adj
vantages of being short and until he
became worn down made the event
very interesting for Buffalo Joe" and

ing to break Shimkus hold, he re-
sorted to little action with his feet,
using them to advantage on Joe's ears.

tice, so after that clean tactics were
employed TO the last
Two of the best preliminary matches
seen this season were given last even
ing by amateurs Two lads, about ~
years old, one of them John David,
son of the Star cafe proprietor, Mi
chael David, and the other Laurence
Tomasi, son Of A. Tomasi-of Merchant
street, proved to be clever little lads
with boxing gloves during two minute
rounds. They were warned that hay
makers and star elective wallops
would not win the match, but rather
that they must box for points.
Young David dropped several left
hand iabs to Tomasi's face in the first
round and when Tomasi went to his
corner he must have thought them
over, for he came back strong in the
second and seemed to be after a knock
out. The lads were using well padded |
gloves and could inflct no serious in
jury; but rather made considerable |
merriment when mixing things up.
The other preliminary was a wrest- |
ling match between two young men,
A. Hendrickson and NJ LaFountaine, |
both of this city. LaFountaine won |
the first fall with body and wrist |
lock in six minutes and 80 seconds |
The second was won by Hendrickson in |
seven minutes and 40 seconds with a !

Serious Outbreaks of Influenza
all over North America
GOOD HEALTH IS The
SUREST SAFEGUARD
'FRUIT-A-TIvES" Brings visor and
Vitality and Thus Protccts
Against Disease

There can be no doubt that the
situation regarding the spread of
Influenza throughout the country is
one of grave concern. tits quite true
that the number of cases does not
constitute an epidemic such as caused
the suffering and sorrow during tho
terrible days of 1918. Yet there is
no Disgusting the fact that everyone
should be on their guard against the
disease.
In one city alone, from January
Goth TO February 2lst, three thousand,
one hundred and tseenty-tpo cases of
Influenza and 1879 deaths from tho
disease were reported to the Health
Department.
If the outbreak had come at tho
beginning of the winter instead of
the end, we might reasonably feel
that the very cold weather would
check the spread of the disease" But
coming as 1T has, at the end of the
winter, there is grave fear that an
epidemic may occur. For spring,
with its slush and rain under foot,
its dampness and chill, its constant
changing from cold to warm and
back again, is a prolific source of
coughs and colds. pleurisy and
pneumonia.
Tho best protection, in fact, tho
only safeguard against the Flu, is,
GOOD HEALTH.
Those who are not as well and
strong as they should be; those who
are underHeight those who are

sickness should build up at once.
What they need is q Blood purifier,

THIS SPRING TAKE
Hoods Sarsaparilla-A Good Blood
Purifying Tonic Medicine.

1t is a medicine in which the people
can and do have entire confidence as
pure, clean and safe.
All the claims made for it are JUS
titled by the testimony of the graft
flying results attending its use in a
multitude of cases of scrofula, eczema
or salt rheum, psoriasis, blood-poison-
ing. catarrh and rheumatism, and of
loss of appetite, that tired feeling, and
low or down conditions common in
the spring.
1t is not adulterated; it is not mis-
branded, but honestly labelled. 1t orig
mated in a physicians prescription and
is recommended and used by many
