Recalling the Chowder Parties
That Made Jones's Woods Famous

In the party Of three was an architect
and from his knowledge of the city chart he
could inform his companions that this was
the old Sutton estate. laid out long ago, when
Yorkville had within it's boundaries a popu-
lar picnic ground called Jones's Woods. half
a mile to the north. That isn't so very long
ago. as middle aged persons still active re-
member going there on chowder parties.
The site entranced the trio and when the
architect painted a picture OF what might
be made of the old place with reconstruc-
ton plans applied to the houses or demoli-
tion and new structures, the other two had
imagination enough to see 1t. Mr.. Webb
told Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, to whom he
is related, what they had seen. and the very
next day she notored across town to see the
place for herself.
After second visit she gave instructions
to an agent to buy for her the house at the
corner of Sutton place and Fifty-seventh
street. This is the extreme eastern end of
Fifty-seventh street
Mrs. vanderbilts present town house is
at Fifth avenue and F1fty-eighth street.
Since her decision to go east was taken and
while plans were under consideration for
rebuilding on the site other persons known
in society manifested similar desire to
make homes there, and especially Sutton
Square, fronting on the river, attracted them
for this object. A farseeng architectural
development was thus harmoniously started.
Colonists from Fifth avenue have come in
sufficient numbers. II is said, to I'LL the

apocryphal Sutton square was discovered
by w. Seward Webb and two friends as they
motored across Greensboro Bridge. A
glimpse Of greenery shining out from a
cluster Of rather neglected looking build
ings caught their eyes. and they were
curious enough to turn back ler they had
left the bridge on the Manhattan side and
go to see what this garden effect was.
1t was simple enough to run down Avenue
for couple Of blocks below the bridge
and so reach Sutton place. which is Avenue
A south of Fifty-ninth street for four blocks.
The garden fronted on the river and a quad
rangle of ancient houses. shabby enough 1t
is true, offered what might be made into
charming homes for persons who desired
sunlit seclusion in the midst Of teeming

EDITORIAL

Up in Jones County there is an in
teresting lawsuit going on OF this
nature: A number of the citizens
have banded together and sued their
supervisors for borrowing money out
of one fund to promote the needs OF
another county fund which had run
short, the chief claim for damage
being based on the fact that the
Supervisors failed to make due legal
notice by advertisement OF such pur-
pose. The suit is being watched
with interest and has already caused
SUPERVISORS 10 other counties to give
such advertising notice OF shifting
the county funds where they have
become necessary in place of floating
a county Loan warrant. In other
words county can borrow from it.
self it there be surplus cash in one
fund when another has exhausted
but the citizens whose monies it is
and who have right to demand il
be kept inviolatey seperate, have
the legal right to protest against
such policy of cross borrowing and
must have legal notice of the inten.
tions with sufficient time to present
their protest.

New Augusta News.
The principle of cooperative sell
ing or marketing of their products is
rapidly gaining strong hold upon
the farmers throughout the country.
They are now beginning to realize
as never before, that their prosperity
and the prosperity of the country as
as whole, depends upon it. The
main purpose of it all is to sell their
raw materials, such as cotton, wool,
etc. direct to the manufacturers,
and their surplus food products.
such as potatoes, syrup etc. direct
to distributors, thus eliminating a
vast hoard of non producing specu-
lators.

It's gratifying to the people of the
State of Mississippi to notice from
press dispatches going out from Col
umbus, that arrangements are being
made jointly by the Trustees of the
State Woman's College and the cti-
zens OF that town to see that no girl
is turned away from that institution
this year but that all are given ac
comodations. IAN additional dormi
tory is being built and if this does
not prove adequate the citizens o.
Columbus will take the overflow Of
girls into their homes and board
them under the college regulations.
This is an arrangement which will
meet with approval over the state as
it's too bad for girl to fit herself
for higher education and find that
the door is closed when she gets to
Columbus because the dormitory ia.
cillties have all been taken. The
legislature finds it hard to make APP
preparations often enough to provide
funds to erect extra dormitory facil-
tiles as fast as they are needed at
this and the other state colleges but
this summer special effort is being
made to bring the dormitory needs
of each one up to expected demands
at the coming session.

DISARMAMENT is a movement which
has received fresh impetus by Prest.
Harding's proposal that the leading
nations OF the world reach an agree
ment to that effect, and conference
is shortly to be called for discussing
that great question to which even
Japan seems to be about to consent.
England is reported IN the last few
days as going ahead and making
more reductions in her army and
navy without waiting for the agree
ment to be put through with the
other great nations. The Herald
had an editorial during the first
days of the war calling attention to
the fact that after the world emerged
from this war there would be pos
sibly the most powerful reaction ever
seen against war. The people could
not bear to be told this truth then
because the war boosters we're going

Plans for ArmistiCe Day
Celebration Completed by
Committee; Program Will
Be As Announced.

Preparations for the Armistice
day celebration were completed
by the committees in charge last
night. Details for the decoration
of the city have been arranged,
the decorations committee re-
porting that all merchants would
decorate their buildings as Wen
practically all the property hold
ers in the city, regardless OF
whether their homes are on the
line of march of the parade.
Finding that some money was
still lacking to defray the eX-
penses of the bands for the parade
and music at the dedication serN-
ices at the court house yard, an
appeal was made to the city COM
missioners for an appropriation.
The commissioners authorized
City Manager James Gladding to
pay 500 to the general commit
tee for this purpose,
Following the spirit Of the day
as evinced in the proclamations OF
President Harding, Governor Me-
chem, the county commissioners
and the city commissioners. the
day will be a full holiday in the
city. Merchants throughout the
city and county will close their
places of business for the day.
The Albuquerque Merchants asso-
citation passed resolution APPROX
ing closing their stores for the day
some time ago. Other merchants
and business men expressed their
desire to do the same.
1t was found at the meeting OF
the general committee last night
that the parade will be even larg-
er than was expected, several COM
panies and orga nizations which
had been undecided as to whether
they would have floats in the pa
rade. reporting that arrangements
for them had been made.
These additions have been ad-
ded to the program Of the parade
without affecting the general or

which will form in the places and
