what is now Hilliard street, and set up

The first printing that can be proved
to have been done elsewhere in the
colonies was by William Bradford, in
Philadelphia. in 1885. Little can be
said in favor of Bradford as a printer,
but 1t is interesting to note that his
son Andrew was the proprietor of
enc of the two printing offices In Phil
adelphia when Benjamin Franklin ar
rived there in 1928, from Boston, a
young apprentice and a runaway.
Franklin soon went TO work for a
man named keimer. a rival of Brad
ford's. Young Benjamin found both
printers poorly qualified for their
business. He applied himself, how
ever. to his trade and worked dill
gently In the shop of Keimer. 1t was
not long before Franklin came into
the notice of the governor of the
province.
Gov. Keith was somewhat fiatter-
ing, no doubt. and was certainly lib
eral of promises. but withal he rec
ognized in Franklin the possibilities
of a good printer. His promises to
set Franklin up were never kept, but
they led to FrankIin's trip to Eng
land in 1924, or when he still was un-
der nineteen years of age. The gov
ernor's responsibility was an i'll
wind which certainly blew Franklin
considerable good, in the experience
which he gained from the necessity of
working at his trade abroad. He
worked in two famous printing houses
of the day, in the second of which he
earned his sobriquet of the Water
American" Young Ben refused to
partake of beer and, to the astonish-
ment OF the workmen, was able to
perform considerably more work than
could any of his fellows. He was en-
ployed in both the composing and press
rooms.
After Franklin returned to Amer
lea he re-entered the employ of kei-
mer. who made him manager of the
business. Here he had charge of four
men and an apprentice, but they were
raw, cheap hands," and it was up to
Franklin to form them.
1t was in this capacity that Frank
lin began to use his inventive genius
which gives him distinction in several
branches of the printing and allied in
dustries. The printing house often
wanted sorts, and there was no letter
founder In America. Necessity moved

his observations in London, he con-

these Tom Thumb truck farms yield
many, many wagonloads Of produce
which, If hauled down to Center market,
would sell for about $500. The anna
teur gardeners benefit manifoIdfy from
their vegetable production. They cur
tail the family grocery bill by growing
all the summer vegetables in addition
to producing a surplus for canning for
winter consumption. The men of sed-
entary callings who work the gardens
benefit immeasurably from the healthy
, outdoor exercise which they gain In this
way.
This year ". A Simmons, one of the
government scientists, is operating a
large enough vegetable garden, as a side
line to his flower raising activities, so
that he has been able to sell more than
800 worth of his surplus tomatoes, corn,
beans and peas TO city dealers. One
year, latterly, w. ]. Morse kept strict
account Of all the asparagus. celery,
strawberries. corn, peas. beans and cab
bages that he raised in his amateur
garden, which covered the half of a
small suburban lot. II purchased at the
prices which prevailed that season, the
vegetables that were consumed In the
Morse home or canned would have
cost 500.

THE Takoma Horticultural Club, in
l. addition to stimulating the love OF
and knowledge about plant life among
its roster. also perpetuates thrift and
economy. 1t facilitates the desire,
latent in most of US, to increase our
scientific knowledge Of flowers and to
add to the natural beauties which fur
round US. by raising domesticated specI-
mems Of ornamental plant life.
The influences Of the organization are
far-reaching and even extend to the
younger generation. The youngsters in
the family watch their parents at their
gardening Iabors and develop the desire
to do likewise. Even the little tots out
Takoma Park way know more about
flowers than the average citizen OF
Washington.

OF our most popular American flowers.

and with infallible accuracy she will
select the asters, narcissus. pansies, vio-
lets, dahlias. peonies and many other
specimen.
No wonder Takoma Park has the best
garden club in all creation, when even
the little children as soon as they learn
to talk begin to learn the earrnarks OF
the leading flowers and to master tho
scientific principles of modern torticui-
SuraI production.

Horticultural Club has solved efflca-
ciously is that of how TO grow orna-
mentals in shady locations. Takoma
Park is a land of many stately and
handsome trees which have taker
anywhere from fifty to one hundred
years or longer to grow. The in
habitants cannot afford to cut down
these trees in order to provide more
sunshine for their gardens. Science
has solved the perplexing puzzle by
determining particular varieties OF
, plants which will succeed satisfac-
torily in shady situations.
Practical tests have demonstrated
that aZaleas, barberry, dogwood, ker-
ria, bush honeysuckle, mock orange
Towering currants, laurel, rhododen-
dron, spirea, snowberry and SNOWFALL
shrubbery will prosper. while such
flowers are anemone. columbine. bell
flower. bleeding heart, foxglove
funkia, gentian, lily OF the valley
lungwort, phlox. primrose, snakeroot
trillium and all kinds of ferns do not
| object seriously to the tree parasols
which shade them.
The Takoma Horticultural Club
holds a narcissus and tulip show
every spring, followed in turn by an
iris show, rose show, gladiola show,
vegetable exhibit In the fall and
dahlia and chrysanthemum exposi-
tions during the early winter months
The general prizes presented at these
exhibitions consist of seeds, cuttings
plants and roots offered by CONNER
cial growers in all parts of the coun-
try.
Several California firms annually
present valuable prizes to the Ia
koR1a schowmen, while most OF the
leading professional growers in the
middle west and east also contribute
generously. The Takoma Park me--
chants are presenting many novel
gifts to the current vegetable show
management, scheduled in October.
The prizes include practically every
thing from a fine porterhouse steak
to SO bank deposit.

lectures and informal talks by lead

GREAT TREASURE HUNT AT
 LIBERTY THEATRE TONIGHT

What person with an ounce of red blood in their veins who does not re- member a youthful thrill at a tale of a quest for hidden treasure? The old time thrills have been recaptured and imprisoned for all time on celluloid by Gouvernouer Morris in Goldwyn's film and version of his story, "Yellow Men and Gold" which comes to the Liberty theatre tonight.
 This absorbing tale of adventure and conflict on an island in the South Seas partakes of the romantic fervor, lively action and picturesque color to be found in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island" Two rival factions set out for lonely isl and off which an old Spanish galleon laden with treasure, was sunk. A convulsion of nature has thrown the galleOn up above the water until it rests like the skeleton of a whale on one of the highest points of land.
 About the skeleton of this old ship occurs much of the action of the picture. Fight follows fight in rapid succession, each one more strenuous and thrilling than the one preceding.
 Do not miss this. It is one of the best stories of adventure depicted for some time.
