GARDEN PLANTING
UNUSUALLY LATE;
RAIN HINDERED
Garden Should be Watched Very
Closely During Month of May.
Late Paintings of Corn, lima
Beans, Okra, and Cucumbers.

The recent rains have made the
season this year unusually late.
Owing to this fact it may be neces-
sary during the month of May to
make late paintings of vegetables
which ordinarily are planted dur
ing the month of April.
SUGGESTIONS of snap beans, and
late paintings of corn, lima beans,
okra, squash, and cucumbers may
be made. During this month it
is necessary that every gardner
watch his garden very closely. Ii
you notice that the plants do not
seem to be growing rapidly, side
dressing of nitrate of soda will
stimulate the growth and cause
the plants to come to maturity
more rapidly. The usual application
of 200 lbs. of nitrate of soda per
acre is applicable to the home
garden as well as to truck crops.
About one teaspOonful to a table
spoonful per plant, according TO
the size, will give good results.
Watch your tomatoes closely, tie
them up to the stakes and remove
all suckers In this way better

with proportionate decrease In the
number of fruits.
Keep the cultivators and hoes
moving continually during the
month, making sure that weeds do
not get start in your garden.
We are subject to drOughts during
the summer season in this state
and numerous CIVILIZATIONS at this
time of the year will do great
deal toward conserving the soil
moisture for use by the plant during
these droughts.
Watch carefully for insects and
diseases. If you notice any insects,
/ try to find out from the damage
which they have done whether they
are sucking or chewing insects.
This will help You greatly in the
control of them. Remember that
a stomach poison will not kill a
sucking insect. For the control
of insects and diseases consult
your spray calendar, which was
issued in the early part of the year
by this department. If you do not
hove one, send letter to yOui
Home Demonstration Agent and
she will see that you get one.
| For detailed information on trans.
planting see the sheet which was
issued for April. Thin out plants
/ which are crowded so that tht
young plants may have sufficient
/ room.

this year, according to F. r. Fitch,
general manager of the City Ice and
Coal Company.
People have had so much trouble
during the past year in getting coal
when they wanted It. the kind Of coal
they wanted and in quantities com
mensurate with their needs, that the
general public has begun to realize
the unreasonable satisfaction gained
from putting in their coal in the sum

Prices on eastern coal continue TO
be- a little uncertain. not only does
that condition exist. but we are not
promised a full shipment. in truth the
eastern mines say they will take our
orders on rs per cent basis, filing
them in full Il possible.
1T is the policy Of the City Ice and
Coal Company to serve our customers
in every way to assure their protec-

coal situation; for that reason we are
especially urging those people who

months TO do 500

1t is the policy Of the indianapolis

There have been some advances

these have been largely absorbed by

Residential Construction

States required 0,0O0 houses each
year before the war to care for the
natural increase in population. Last
year 659585 buildings cost $685.
SG7,939; during 1921, 62S,940 buildings
cost $1,0S5, $40, 389; in 1920. All, 026
buildings cost $1,467, 911 $50; in 1919.
390,585 buildings cost $1,293,9 All
IF the estimates on shortage of
housing in 1919 are correct $500, 600
homes in the United States that
amount plus the progressive demand
since that time, created by the
natural increase in population less the
amount constructed should justify the
assumption that the necessities have
not been cared for. nor will they be
cared for during the next few years.
Last year the Speedway Lumber
Company hung up a sales record Of
so per cent over the preceding year.
which up to that time had been the
largest in our history. So far this
year this company has exceeded the

HIGH AUTO RATES
ARE NECESSARY
Insurance Man Tells of Diff
CuItieS Being Encountered

THE public says rates on auton
bile collision insurance are too high.
The insurance companies say they are
too low. Both are right" according
to II. II. Woodsman of the H. H
Woodsmal Company. agent for the
Union Insurance Company, which
specializes on motor car insurance.
Collision insurance covers the loss
sustained by the assured, having no
relation to that inflicted. 1T covers
trees, cars and other objects, includ-
ing railroad trains.
I'm the larger cities, the cost Of
collision insurance is nearly prohobi-
tive, WOodsmaq said THE increase
in the number Of cars in use adds to
the possibility of an accident. JOY
riders are responsible for a great
number Of claims. The cost of re-
pairs is in excess Of what 1t was a
few years ago.
collisions occur when the car is
unattended. No one knows whom to
the insurance company pays. The
insurance companies have taken the
stand that they do not wish to issue
full coverage policies. Many prefer
that the assured viii pay the first $50
or first 500 Of the damage. The pre-
miums are correspondingly reduced.
IAN obstruction on the road which
causes the breaking OF a wheel or
steering gear means expense to the
insurance cOmpa ~. In fact, insur-
qnce men say that collision insurance
is expensive TO the companies writ
ing It.
Fire and theft insurance is ex-
penslve to car owner and insurance
company. Yet when one analyses the
costs, one wonders that 1t is not
more.
Shortly after the war, a big loss
in fire and theft insurance began.
High prices Of cars could not be main
tanned Insurance companies had
been Issuing policies on cars up to
the list price. The market slumped,
prices were reduced"

Remember
the Time

<1THE BLACK CROOK" was
famous an ladies used
u to blush an turn their
heads away when they passed by
bin boards shown the famous
picture of the woman in black
tights. An how yer only wished
yer was big enough to see the
darned thing, but no minors was
allowed.
An the pictures that was on
the bill boards advertiser Faust"
an how yer could stand by the
hour lookin' at 'em. Cause they
showed a forked-tail devil with
an iron prong standin' in the mid
die of flames waitin' for another
victim to be tossed in.
An both shows came to the
Academy o. Music which was on
Main street upstairs over John
M. Deane's high class grocery
store which always had one win
der full o. pipes an tobacco an
the other filled with candy an
yer used to love to stand an look
at the monkeys.
The height of yer ambition was
to be a street sweeper. An they
didn't wear white an wasn't
called white Wing" but wore
plain clothes an short rubber
boots an yer always imagined
they must find lot o. fortunes
sweepin' the streets. Magazines
was all ten cents an there
wasn't many an they didn't have
pictures, only the weeklies like
Leslie's. Tom Mast was famous
an everybody talked of his car
toons an the Tweed Ring in
New York.
Yer was errand boy in a shoe
store an one Of the clerks was
q reg'lar old woman and liked
cats. An he had an alley cat he
had made pet Of an every day
he'd give yer a nickel to get it
some meat. An yer'd go across
Main street to Hudner's an get
1t fer nothin' off Jerry O'Brien so
that every day yer had a jitney
for yerself. An next door for
that nickel the girl at the candy
counter would give yer a dollars
worth Of sweets because she used
TO write notes an send 'em by
you to one Of the shoe clerks.
"In the Shade of the Old Apple
Tree" was famous. An every
body bought the song an yer
never got tired listenin' to it. An
It was played by the hour on Sat-
urday night in the piano store
near where yer worked. An there
was a picture IN the cover Of
Teller and Lal sittin' under an ap-
pie tree.
Yer went into the Five and Ten
Cent Store to buy a sieve and yer
said to the girl behind the coun-
ter, "How much are yer ten-cent
sieves?" An she said, Ten cents
Of course AN yer blushed an
got all confused an she giggled so
yer got mad an said. "Lemme see
some," an she says, They're all
alike" SO yer bought one an run,
red as anything.

ALIENS SWINDLED

New York-In the last few years
foreigners have been swindled out of
$12,000,000 by gang of real estate
sharks who sold undeveloped marsh
lands With ma 50-mile radius of this
city, according to testimony before
the state legislative committee that
is Investigating immigrant explotat-
tions.
The sharks would supply free tick
cts for a Sunday inspection trip to
tract of land. Each guest would draw
lot, but was charged $4950 to cover
legal fees for transfer of property.
The figuhe of $4950 was set to keep
within the petty larcenty limit of $50
Miss Marion K. Clark, chief clerk
of the alien division of the state labor
department, testified that aliens in
mines and labor capms in this state
are living under conditions that
amount almost to peonage. She stat
ed that the victims are without legal
protection because the state bureau
of immigration, established in 1910 by
the Hughes committee, wasabolished
by the legislature in 1911.
