DRAINAGE FOR GARDEN LAND
1t Is Advisable to Thoroughly Drain
All Soil Inclined to Contain Too
Much Moisture.

Garden land inclined to be wet
should be thoroughly drained before
crops are planted upon it, If tile

vided, the next best thing is to plant
the crops on slight ridges, so as to
get their roots above tbs water table

APOTHEOSIS OF THE LANDLADY.

Chicago householders who offer their
homes for $500 to $1,000 during conven-
ton week are really surprised at their
own moderation. Hotels, reserved to the
last barber chair, are charging 500
room and rigidly1 INIT the number of their
occupants. But in these North Shore
mansions and South Side apartments
there is still sleeping accommodation, in
bathtubs, on kitchen ranges, over bureau
and windowsills and on the floor In 1916
Chicago counted $4,000 visiting Republi-
cans in the Coliseum and scores OF
thousands outside She will not be salts
fed if the coming love-feast,. initiating
what Republicans hope will be the most
irresistible march to the White House
in history, does not show delegates housed
even in the Lake Michigan cribs.
But Chicago householders may yet
overreach themselves. As heat, brass
bands and congestion become more in
dispensable to Presidential nomination,
sleep becomes more dispensabie. Few ever
sleep anyway; hours outside the Coliseum
will be spent in hotel lobbies, telegraph
rooms, long-distance booths and feverish
conferences. Maps can be sought during
the three-hour nominating speeches and
the hour of automatic applause for leading
candidates-New York Evening Post.

LET the End Come Soon.

The Legislature has taken recess to
await the report of the commission 1t
created to take into consideration the
very important subject of effective and
appropriate amendment of the School
Code. Upon reassembling it will take
action on this report.
We hope the members Of the Legislature
will return to Dover fully impressed with
the fact that the people have but one
desire in respect Of their probable action,
and that is that they will consider no
other business than the School Code re-
port and the essentials to winding up the
session. And that they will do this work
in the shortest time compatible with care
full procedure.
The members of the Legislature may
easily acquaint themselves with the pal
pable fact that the people arc very tired
of the special session and decided v dis
glisted over the turmoil and disruption
that attended its sitting. They wall
breathe sight of sincere relief when lt
finally comes to an end. and that happy
consummation cannot come too soon for
them.

Anything But Harmony.

Because there was not a "bear-garden"
of a time at the Republican State Con-
vention at Dover, on Tuesday, they called
il a harmonious gathering of the Re-
publican party" But the fights in the
district caucuses and the results thereof
tell a different srery. The convention
was ouiet-not harmonious-because the
opponents of the old Organization had
been knocked speechless by the clouts
thew had received at these eaucuses. and
were not able to make peep OF protest
in open convention. Even In Sussex
county the Organization emerged trlum-
pbant for a while its friend Governor
Townsend was beaten-by the mean
treachery OF some delegates, it is alleged.
The man who defeated linn, Ex-Governor
Pennewill, is a good Organization man.
The results of the convention are:
Extreme soreness. among the beaten
opponents of the Organization over their
sound drubbings; deep anger among the
friends of Governor Townsend over his
treacherously accomplished defeat; sullen
anger among the Negroes, who were in
suited by being refused even the hollow
recognition of having one of their number
selected as an alternate delegate to the
Republican National Convention.
And now they call it harmony" But
there are many who will incline to say:
IF this be harmony, make the most Of it. =
