COUNTRY LIFE NO
LONGER MYSTERY
TO CITY CHILDREN
Juvenile New Workers Confident No
Country Boy or Girl Can
Fool Them.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Country life
and gardening have no mysteries for
Juvenile New Workers. They are con-
fident that no country boy or girl
could fool them much about gardens
and the things that grow in them.
Under the supervision of Father
Knickerbocker, thousands of them
have labored this summer cultiyating
little gardens in summer parks. Some
of the gardens have more than 1000
individual garden plots, each with a
little farmer or farmerette in charge.
There are row after row of beets,
carrots and sweet corn and tangles
of tomatoes. with red fruit peeping out
from the surrounding greenery. The
farmerettes usually have a fancy for
a patch of gay colored flowers in one
corner of the plot. The farmers run
more to raising more substantial
things, something that can be eaten.
Those who have had previous ex-
perience in gardening are allowed to
favorite vegetables. But the beginners
have to go in for diversified crops.
The two F1orentino sisters, Josephine
and Rookie, are famuos gardeners in
their neighborhood. But Josephine be-
lieves the succulent cabbage is the
only vegetable worthy of an expert
enced farmerette's attention. Rookie.
who is equally experienced, yeerns for
the juicy tomato, and cultivates her
plot accordingly. Thus, the Florentino
family is assured good supply of
both vegetables.
The rivalry between children and
neighborhoods is keen. There are
prizes given at the close of the season
for the best attendance, the best kept
plots and the best specimens of vege-
tables.
Mrs. Fannie Parson, supervisor Of
parks, understands the psychology Of
the juvenile gardener, and there are
enough Plies so that no district can
fail to get at least one. Mrs. Parsons
is 20 years old and nearly blind, but
she visits the parks and supervises the
work of her score of assistants every
day.

MANY GOLD SEEKERS
INVADE AUSTRALIA
Prospecting Is Enjoyed Only q Few
Miles Beyond Boundaries
of the Cities.

MELBOURNE, Aug. 27.-Prespect-
ing for gold is one of the most alluring
charms of life in Australia It may be
enjoyed only a few miles beyond the
boundaries of the larger cities, and
there are still many eager Adventures
on the trail for surface gold. This is
attested by their frequent success.
Thirty miles from this city two pros
pectors in June smelted approximately
$1,000 worth of gold obtained from the
quartz, and during their sojourn on
the one site realized $500 worth of the
precious metal.
Precious stones are also available.
During June large deposits of sap
phires were discovered in the basalt
country of New South Wales. Two
syndicates are prospecting the field
and have obtained some exceptionally
fine gems.
One of the finest pearls in the world,
found IN Australian pearling waters,
was gem larger than a sparrow's egg,
recently exhibited by James Clark, a
Queensland farmer and pearl mag
nate.

 # * # Calling Big Men to Governmental Jobs
Governmental JoH

A DVICES from Washington indi- A cate that James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel Corporation may be persuaded to ac- cept the chsirmanship of the United States shipping board. It would be great thing for the country were he to do SC. He would make less money, but the opportunity to serve presented ny that post should com pensate him.
 It will be great thing for this country when its successful men, men who know how to do things, are inducted into the affairs of govern ment, The prestige of their success is something to be preserved. They are beyond the temptation to do mean and petty things. They have enough on which to live. They have been corcerned in>15ig things of their own. They will bring to the government the same brains and the same broad view of men and affairs that made them captains of industry.
 The country will welcome such men into office. A new feeling toward sue cessful men has developed. Instead of being afraid and suspicious of them, the people realize that they are the more capable of serving them well than smaller men who have been busy in smaller things. They moreover trust them, because they have proved worthy of their trust in handling the millions, and tens of millions of others.
 The people of America have seen many governmental projects go wrong because politicians rather than busi- ness men were at the helm. They prefer men who understand the busi- ness charts.

Alabama to Raise One-Third
 of Its Former Cotton Crop

1HIELD AGENT F. w. CYST re Il ports that cotton acreage in Ala bama appears to have been reduced about 20 per cent this year. If that is the case, the coming crop will no5 be very much over 500,000 bales. Alabama can handle that much to ad- vantage.
 If the acreage is reduced 20 per cent, the yield of Alabama cotton will be less than one-third of what it was prior to 1914. Up to that period the average yearly production was from 1,500,000 to 1,750,000 bales. We have dropped since that time to an average of less than 100000 bales. Another 20 per cent reduction will have established decrease from the former high record of something like 70 per cent.
 There is plenty of labor this year. The opportunity to, raise a bumper crop of diversified products is g golden one. The lesson has been learned. Farmers were never quite so bent on installation of modern meth ods from blowing and planting to reaping the harvest and placing it on the markets. Farm bureaus are be- ing. organized in every county. Co opefation is the order of the day.
 The farmer appears to have finally realized that cotton no more repre- sents money than corn, cattle, milk and cowpeas. That is why he has already turned from it as a sole crop and is more and more making of it but one among half dozen.
 The boil weevil did some of it; gambling on the rise in cotton did the rest. A saner and better day is here.

# + F Secretary Hughes Is Proving His Competence

1NH American note to the Eu-
 U ropean powers on mandates was remarkably clear and forceful document. Facing problems of tre- mendous significance to the United States and the whole world, MT. Hughes promises to be one of the greatest Secretaries of State America has ever had. He has the ability, the training and the temperament needed for the arduous task ahead of him and it is evident that Presi- dent Harding relies on him to large extent to formulate our new foreign policy. e
 Were the Secretary of Stake less competent, the result of allowing him a free hand might prove disastrous, but MT. Harding's confidence in MT. Hughes is fully justified. It is shared to large extent by the Amer ican people, regardless of party af- filiations.
 The dominant characteristics of Sec retary Hughes are clear thinking, patriotism and courage. His fine legal mind and knowledge of interna- tional law should make him capable of holding his own in the negotia- tions with foreign nations which will be inevitable before any agreement can be reached as to our future rela- tions with Europe.

Virginia Jury Does Duty
 In Upholding the Law

X LYNCHBURG, VA, jury has EA found young white man guilty of assault on the county jail where a negro was held for safekeeping and fined him $500, besides inflicting a years penitentiary sentence. Twelve others are to face the same jury panel.
 It is good to have discovered jury with manliness to do this. These 12 men arose above the consideration that the prisoner was a negro and that the assault on the jail was made by white men of reputable parentage. They did their duty. When that is : involved neither race, color nor con- dition in society should be considered. In fact, the more defenseless the pris- oner and the more intelligent the men who assault jail, the more sure and prompt should be the punishment.
 White men of the south must look at this matter of lynching from the subjective standpoint. They must come to realize how utterly cowardly 2 lynching is; how bitter the after math in the soul of a decent white man that follows participation in one of these gruesome apd foul proceed ings.
 When taken on the spot and prompt ly identified by some woman as her assailant, there is no place on earth where outraged manhood, wrought to ! high pitch, may not wreak sum- mary vengeance, but, after the laA has had its hands on man, 2 line has been drawn about him that those who love their state and it's institutions will respect and at which they will halt.

Quick Relief Should Be
 Given Disabled Heroes

A DEPRESSING President Harding's AA special commission to investi- gate relief for ex-service men, Dr. Thomas w. Salmon of the Rockefel- Ter institute, said half the govern ment's beds were not suited for tu- bercular patients. "We know there are 4,o0o such patients," he contin- ned land 5000 mental sufferers who are today without treatment by the government because they refuse to go into charity and state institu- tions."
 This situation of affairs is a se- were indictment of government inef- ficiency and neglect. It is largely due to red tape and the fact tha. sol : dier relief has been directed by three departments when it should have been centralized under one head thus do- ing away with heart-breaking delays.
 The plight of thousands of var heroes who are suffering and dying as the price of their service to their country appeals to the American peo- pie who want this injustice righted as soon as possible.

 Negro minstrelsy had become a more or less historic institution, long befors Field formed his company. The first black face act in this country is SUD- posed to have been given at the Federal Street theatre, Boston. in 1799, when a comedian named Young made great hit by his singing of -sThe Gay Negro Boy" From then negro minstrel history is somewhat sketchy until 1S42, when Dan Emmett, Frank Brewer, William Whit lock and Dick Pelham formed their com pany, and a year later came to the Chatham street theatre in this city. One of the high marks in this class of enter tainment was the performance of Dad dy" Rice, who is sometimes wrongly credited with being the father of black face minstrelsy. Rice's "Jim Crow made him famous and the negro comic opera, "oh, Hush!" was written for him. with several songs, such as Coal Black Rose," that have lived for years.
 whether Field's minstrels, now that it's originator and proprietor Is dead, will continue. is not definitely stated. If it passes it will leave the negro minstrel field without one large remaining similar organization As an entertainment ne- gro minstrelsy was at it's height more than a quarter of 8 century ago.

 Black face minstrelsy did it's full share to make the world forget it's cares and troubles. By it's passing vaudeville was the greatest gainer. but there are still old timers who with a questionable all legiance to movies and modern plays doubt if the theatregoar benefited greatly by the change.
