Planning the Home Garden.


A successful home garden should
be planned to provide a variety of
fresh vegetables for table use. In
the planning consideration should be
given to raising not only what a per
son likes, but also the vegetables
which may be grown to help balance
the family ration.
There are three essentials in select.

least six hours of the day; SUI.

possible and at the same time comply.
ing with the three essentials.
The size of the garden in the city
depends upon the available back yard
space, while in the country it should
be large enough for the cultivation
to be done by horse. Where horse
cultivation is used, plant the rows
three feet apart and length wise OF
the garden, except in the case Of vines
and tomatoes where the rows will be
planted wider.
Tall vegetables should be planted
so as not to over-shadow the smaller
ones. The following list Of vegetables
is given in sufficient quantity for a
family Of four. allowing surplus for
canning. In the list, the vegetable, the
variety recommended, amount Of seed
required and space to plant are given
in order named:

making sauer kraut, and 10 barrels Of
it, too. The garden produced wonder
fully fine heads Of cabbage this year
and enough to make about A. barrels
Of lraut. However. the remainder OF
the cabbages will be stored and used
with the other vegetables during the
winter. Nine barrels of kraut were
made in the fall of 1920 and toward
the close of that winter quantity OF
the kraut was canned and used to
good advantage during the year 1921
when no cabbages were used.
1t is Of interest to learn that there
is no fatigue duty for the veterans in
the home. They are paid for all the
work they do. and when laborers are
needed the work Is given to those who
are able to perform II and who care
to work. Each barracks Is provided
with captain to look after the rooms
and the needs of the men and Mrs.
North inspects the buildings and cares
for the linen and the mending. All of
the soap used about the home and
laundry is made there. thus all fat
scraps are kept in a refrigerator and
are sweet and clean for the soap.
Another interesting feature in con.
nection with the home Is the GENE
terry, about half mile farther on,
where about 1000 of the Boys in
Blue" have answered the final roll
call. The cemetery is on a promi.
hence and can@be seen from the home
and other distances. It is surrounded
on three sides by timber land and is
in a picturesque spot. The tombstones
are arranged In circular lines and
form rather pleasing view from the
roadway. Each funeral service is con-
Quoted with military honors.
One of the needs OF the soldiers
home Is a piano, as all they have for
song accompaniment Is small organ.
Mrs. North is quite sure they will Sc
cure one ere long, but just how, is q
mooted question A considerable sum
of money has been raised recently by
entertainments given in Tacoma, also
by donations from civic and religious
societies, for purchase and installa-
ton Of moving picture machine, but
this is not yet an assurance. Too,
some Of the veterans are discussing
the establishment OF radio broad
casting station on the grounds and
some there are enthusiastic enough to
declare 1t will materialize, but this
also only time will tell.

according to the report of the trustees

The benefit association was organ

by the report the total income
amounts to $755,645, and total ex-

on hand in cash and invested funds of
S477,879.
The brotherhood maintained a ben

organization of the benefit association
in 1922. Under the old organization
the maximum benefit was $500. I'm

Teapot Dome Scandal
Being Investigated
(By Federated Press)

Washington Teapot Dome, the
naval oil reserve in Wyoming which
former Secretary Fall leased to the
Sinclair interests at bargain rates,
reached the alibi stage in the open
ing session of the investigation of
this scandal before Senator Shoots
committee on public lands. Two "ex-
pert" geologists picked by Smoot and
Lenroot presented reports claiming
that there isn't much oil in the reserve
anyhow, and that if Fall had not
leased it the stuff would soon have
leaked away in drainage to wells on
surrounding private lands.
1t is possibly significant that James
O. Lewis, the expert who now reports
that there is only from 100000 to
24,OOO,OO0 barrels, instead of 100000
600 to 200,000,O00 barrels, of oil in
the Teapot Dome deposit, was quoted
as an authority by Fall in that gentle
mans self-acquitting report to con-
gress last spring, before the experts
were chosen.
Sinclair foated a $1O0,O0O,OOO cor
poration on the strength of this lease,
and is said to have quickly sold out
at around 40. He has taken Fall into
his business as his right hand man.
lewis, in his report, assert that un-
less 24,O00,000 barrels of oil are found
in the Wall Creek sands of Teapot
Dome-and this is the only part which
he considers valuable-the develop
ment will not yield a good profit to
the lessees.

ORIGIN OF THE FIRST ATLAS
Volume Of Nearly 100 Maps, Work OF
Abraham OrteIius, Dutch Geog-
rapher.

The first modern atlas was the work
OF Abraham Ortelius, Dutch geog-
rapher. who died in Antwerp.
His monumental work, entitled the
"Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," was first
published at Antwerp in 1870, and was
revised and reissued five times during
the authors lifetime. 1t was a folio
volume containing nearly 100 maps
representing the different countries
and continents as they were then
known. Although this atlas was a
momentous achievement, a monument
Of erudition and industry. bright
schoolboy Of today could draw maps
from memory with a better approx
nation to correctness.
Even England and Scotland appear
in this pioneer volume with amazing
distortions of coastline and relative
area, and many other maps in the
volume bear only slight resemblance
to those of today.
The name of "atlas." derived from
that Of the Greek god condemned to
bear on his shoulders the vault Of
heaven, was first given to a collection
Of maps by Girard Mercator, another
distinguished Dutch geographer Of the
Sixteenth century.

TWO FORDS

Ford is one of the few multi-mil-
lionaires who are popular with the
masses. He is also one of the most
widely known men in the country.
| But that, of itself, can have nothing
to do with his popularity; and, in
| fact, many of the traits for which he
is best known are not those which in
spire affection. He is dictatorial in
the conduct of his business, has sue
cessfully opposed the interference of
labor unions, and is outspoken in his
prejudices.
On the other hand, Ford has always
been solicitous of the welfare of his
workers, has paid a high wage, and,
is prejudiced, is no more so than the
masses themselves. Such defects as
his ignorance of United States his
tory, betrayed while he was on the
witness stand at teh Chicago libel
suit, only endear him to the people,
Clear proof of his early lack of edu-
cational opportunities" they say,
"Still he has succeeded in spite of
these disadvantages" But the lik-
ing for Henry Ford is not due to his
business successes, but to his personal
characteristics.
Ford buys a railroad, coal mines or
lake steamers; he makes them pay.
When on a camping trip the swirl of
mountain stream suggests to him
vast power projects. His attitude re-
minds one of the Yankee who, on his
first visit to Niagara, saw nothing but
tons of water going to waste That is
the practical Ford
But Ford also buys an old, second
hand threshing engine, model of 1882,
which he finds rusting behind the barn
on Pennsylvania farm. He had
traced the machine through ten
changes in ownership. 1t was one he
had tended when a farm lad of seven
teen and recently, while helping to
thrash oats on his brothers farm
near Detroit, he ran the same little
engine now repainted and repaired,
and got chaff down his neck and
grease on his hands. That is the SEN
timental Ford, the same man who re-
stored his mothers home to the way
he had remembered it when a child;
who bought the famous Wayside Inn
and turned it into memorial to
Longfellow, and who financed the
peace ship.
The conclusion is this: Men may
admire Ford, the successful business
man, but they applaud Ford, the
idealist and dreamer.
