A Substitute for Egg Plant

| Gardeners. particularly in the more
northern states often find eSSplants
disappointing crop. as they have to
plant so many plants to secure rea-
sonable crop If an eggplant pro-
duces three or four good-sized eggs
n a season. it is about all that can
be expected of it, but often with the
average gardener it does not do even
that we'll.
A rival of the eggplant will be
found in the vegetable marrows when
ithey become better known. Cooked
in precisely the same way as fried
eggplant, they are delicious, and many
people consider them even more del
icate. The marrows furnish more
food per plan. than do the eggplants.

them in the house or hotbcd as 1t is

we would return to something more

our destination and that morality
witohut religion is impossible and to
the fact that in the late war this ma

say that it was not the call of Eng

the call Of Germany nor the prohibl-

Lost Gold Mine of Mexico.

Bisbee. Ar:z. June 14.-For three
hundred years. according to reliable
records. the Sierra Madre mountains
of Sonora and Chihuahua Mexico
have held the secret of a gold mine
of fabulous richness and a vast treas
ure store of gold, mined and hidden
away in an inaccessible tunnel.
The romance Of the gold hunter is
written in the history of mans ef-
forts through the centuries to reach
and bring back to civilization this
ders and violence have marked many
of these efforts and still in many
hardy breasts Of this mining coun-
try today there still stirs the spirit

but none ever reached there.
According to records at the Mexi-
can capital, in the latter part of the
seventeenth century the isolated VIII
lage of Old Tyopa was raided by In
dians. who destroyed the town and
killed all the inhabitants except a
priest.
After wandering for several weeks,
the priest arrived at little town call
ed Auga F'ria, on the Faqui river,
where he was received and cared for
by a Mexican family. His hardships
caused his death. but before he died
he gave to the family a description
and map Of the mining camp. He
also reported tat the gold obtained
from seven years of mining had been
stored in an old tunnel because Of
the impossibility of shipment to civ
ilization.
The story and map. it is said. have
been handed down from family to
family for generations. Those who
attempted to reach the camp lost

Plans to Remove Shaft Erected to
LincOln's Assassin.

Birmingham. Ala. June IA
movement looking TO the removal of
statute erected at Troy. Ala. i1st
after the civil war to John Wilkes
Booth. slayer of Abraham Lincoln,
has been launched by Mrs. Cal II
Brooks, president Of the Woman S
League of Republican Voters Of Ala
hama.
Mrs. Brooks declares that protests
against the statue have come to the
league fro.a many sections Of the
country and she believes the Sim
has come when such acts as placing
the shaft will be frowned upon by
all good citizens of the south regard
less of party affiliation.'
An injury has been done the
south as a whole. she says. and a
wrong impression created north, east
and west In order that there may
be lone harmonious union of inter
est. north east. west, south, Mrs.
Brooks has called upon all political
faiths of the south to join the league
in plans to remove the Booth shaft.
The statue was erected by funds
gathered by semi-public subscrip-
ton at time when partisanshlp was
keen and when Booth was looked
upon by some as benefactor and
hero.
The league claims that this was not
the sentiment of the south at that
time and that the surviving few who
had a hand in he eretcion Of the
shaft will not object to it's removal.

Parliament for South Ireland.

Dublin. May 19-Kinc George may
have to appoint Parliament from
the south Of Ireland. He is author
ized by the Home Rule Act to do SO
if the members fail to take oath OF
office within ii days after the date
fixed for asscmblage Of the new Par
lament.
This fact is important in view of
the announcement that the Sim Fem
ers nominated without opposition for
the new Parliament, and thus virtual
~ elected, have been accepted by the
Irish leaders as constituting the new
members of the Dali Eireann; suS-
Sesting the probability that they will
refuse to constitute Parliament for
whcih they were chosen.
In that event. King George is au-
thorized by the Home Rule Act to
APPOINT Il committee consisting of
members Of the Irish Privy Council
and such other persons as he may
choose and constitute these persons
a legislative and executive assembly
10 exercise the functions Of the Par
lament.
This provision is described by the
opponents of the act as the establish
nent of Crown Colony government.
It is evident that it makes it easy for
the government at once TO take meas
urcS for setting up the Southern Par
lament at or near the same time
as the Northern. Under this method
Southern ireland would be governed
by comittee of nominated lrishmen
instead Of at present by nominated
British officials.
