NEW YORK-Epicures of MacDou-
gal street have known for some time
that the narrow, squeezed-in restaur-
ant Of Rocco Palermo and the res
taurant of the Teamen's club pride
themselves on their food, and now
they have leaned that they also
pride themselves on their cleanliness.
Such pride caused a number of
bruised lips and blackened eyes
among employees of the two
houses.
Rocco's restaurant is at 1875 Mac
Dougal street. The Teamen's club
rubs elbows with it, being at No.
1877. A white collared and white
skirted Chinese waiter employed in
the spick-and-span confines of the
Teamen'S club +strolled to the front
of his establishment and his gaze
fell upon an unsightly ash barrel
reposing: squarely in front of the
clubs main entrance.
The walters gaze wandered from
the well-filled barrel to the front of
Rocco's restaurant, and in moment
he was in Rocco's restaurant talk
ing excited Chinese to one of Roc
cos Italian walters.
The white-collared Chinese soon
became aware that his choicest
phrases were being wasted upon his
italian audience, so he raced for
the ash barrel, lifted it above his
head and hurled it through the front
and only entrance of Rocco's esta5-
llshment. The barrel fell with a ire
mendous clatter, and filled the place
with a binding cloud of dust, much
to the CONSERVATION of Rocco, his

$967,757,82O Melted
In Army Sales Since
November II, 1918

WASHINGTON. - Since Novem-
Der II, 1918, the war department
has taken in $967,757,820.36 from
sales of surplus supplies bought
during the war.
The original known cost of the
same supplies was 1,6O3,O31,S 55.22.
But the cost really was much
greater than that, for the govern
ment has no record of the original
cost of many of the items.
Here are some examples from
sales of the week of August 20-26.
The government has no record Of
the number of articles sold, but
only Of the money received.

The loss to the government in
many of these sales is not as great
as it appears from the figures.
Much of the material sold had
been used and was almost unserv1ce-

cats keep the barn, smoke house and

also catch flying squirrels and moles,
so we think they pay liberal board.
The reason there are thriving cate

paper under table in the kitchen
there is a saucer and small tin

After the rats and mice get shy in

barns and make them rat free. There
is mocking bird singing in the yard,

some jays in a big oak tree. I feed
red birds, blue birds and brown

in the garden. Boys and slingshots

Cultivating Celery and Lettuce
for Market

ket. 1 have some land that can
be irrigated with cold spring
water. 1t has not been cleared
and was thinking of cleaning
out all the undergrowth and
small trees, leaving the largest
for shade Your advice in this
matter will be aooreciated.
Ia your section of the south there
should be no trouble about growing
head lettuce in the open. In this
part of Georgia we find it necessary
to protect it during the winter sea-
son from one or several freezes, as
the case may be. We grow head let
tuce here with the greatest success
in cold frames and at a relatively
small cost as well. Our plan is to
develop the lettuce seed in boxes and
then transplant into cold frames. In
your case you might transplant di-
rectly into the field.
We do not believe you would find
II good practice to leave many trees
best in competition with any tree
growth. A certain amount of shade
or protection against the bright, hot
sun would, of course, be desirable.
We. do not plant lettuce. even in
cold frames in this part of Georgia
the first of October. Even then we
have to shade it.. It is our opinion
that it could not be set out of doors
here successfully much before the
first to the fifteenth of October. We
would not, think it. desirable to plant
1t in your section before November.
It will develop rather rapidly, max
Ing good heads in thirty to sixty
days, depending on seasonal condi-
tfons. A plentiful water supply is
desirable. as we'll as a rich, fertile
land This crop should do well on
muck soils. We would advise a fer
tilizer containing per cent nitro
gen, 9 per cent phosphoric acid and
3 per cent potash. An application of
800 pounds and upward per acre
should be made. We would follow
much the same method in handling
celery in trenches, making the rows
5 orr6 feet apart The plants should
be left a foot apart in the drill.
Some fertilizer should be put under
the drill row before the plants are
set. The bottom of the drill row is
made rich with well rotted yard
manure or compost. -,
Lettuce does we'll on soils that
contain high percentage Of humus
or decayed vegetable matter, Rather
frequent side applications may be
made to this crop. The soil should

If this girl loves you as she

you to be nicer to her than you
are-that is-bring her candy
and show her other small atten-

girl, and a man doesn't under

suit is shabby, or your shirt is
made of calico, if you can look
at her with eyes of alteration,
and be tender to her, and think
of the little things which will
please her. L think you and she
are too young to marry just yet.
The years pass very swiftly,
and you can afford to wait
year longer anyhow. Don't for
