How Gardener Can Give Potato a
Flying Start-There are many things
the home gardener can do to hurry
up his potatoes. First, says F. A..
Krantz of the horticultural division,
University of Minnesota, let him
place his seed stock in the light for
several days. The short, thick
sprouts which develop will, when
planted, give the crop an advantage
of at least a week, says Mr.. Krantz.
All potatoes showing weak sprouts
should be discarded.
''The seed should be planted just
as soon as the soil can be put in
shape" says Mr.. Krantz. "The rich
er the soil the more vigorous the
growth and the earlier the tubers
will form. The season is late, there
fore plant rather shallow, not more
than four OF five inches down. The
seed pieces should be one and one
half to two ounces in weight. Seed
of the Early Ohio or Cobler is the
best to plant for quicqk returns.
Keep the patch clean of weeds by
frequent hoeing." IS.

Orchard and Garden Notes


Beta and Alpha grapes are hardy
and make good arbor covers.
Make planting of gladiolus bulbs
now and repeat every fifteen days
until July 1.
So far the so-called everybearing
raspberries have not been great
success. AS a rule, it is more salts
factory to use Latham.
- Golden Bantam is a fine sweet corn
for table use., Make frequent plant
ings up to July 1.
More garden and flower seeds fail
to grow because they are planted too
deep than because the seed is poor.
When setting out plants, be sure
to firm the soil about the roots. The
top soil should be left loose.
Spray those fruit trees if you
would have clean marketable fruit.
Time and money invested in spray
ing operation give large returns.
Now is the time to set that straw
berry and raspberry patch. Latham
is the best raspberry to use. Dunlap,
Premier and Minnehaha are good
June-bearing strawberris. Progress
sive and Deephaven are good ever
bearing sorts.
There is still time to set out trees,
shrubs and perennials about the home

ALLEGED ROBBERS STILL
IN HOSPITAL HERE

John Geraldson, of Woodbridge,
and William Carlson, of Port Read
ing, are still in the local hospital
suffering from gun shot wounds as a
result of the attempted burglary of
the Barber Asphalt Oil plant office
on Thursday night. Irving Thayler,
of Glens Falls, N. Z, the third man
apprehended, is being held at the
local police station without bail on
a burglary charge.
The Port Reading man was shot in
the leg and the arm, and an oper-
alton performed on Friday resulted
in the bullet being taken from the
leg. A bone of the knee was shatter-
ed and silver wire has been used in
an effort to save the mans leg.
Geraldson, also was shot in the leg,
but no bones were broken.
The Glens Falls man remained in
the car ION watch" and did not move
until Carlson told him to go. He
was later caught by officer Carl
Monroe on Amboy avenue. Detec-
tives John Murray and Michael Mus
ka, and Ofieers Layden, Patten and
Grega were on duty in the vicinity
OF the Barber Plant on Thursday
night as they received a tip the safe
was to be robbed. On Wednesday
night they also waited for the rob-
bers who came to the scene twice
but were afraid to go ahead with
the work. -

PRICE OF MILK WILL Be
INCREASED, REPORT HERE

Beginning Thursday milk in this
city will be sixteen cents per quart
making an advance of one cent over
the present price.
Announcement to this effect was
made today by the Puritan Dairy to
the milkmen as they came for their
daily supply At the Puritan Dairy
in High street, it is said the raise
in price Is made necessary by the
action of the Dairyman's League in
advancing the price to the whole
saler three-fourths Of a cent per
quart, Another raise might be ex-
pected, 1t was said, on September /.
Some of the milk dealers who
were communicated with today de-
clared that they had not received
notice of the raise in the price as yet,
but would probably obtain this IN
formation when the wagons return
from the routes, as the notice OF the
increase was given out this morning
by the dairy people.
According to officials of the Puri-
tan Dairy, when the Dairymans
League advances the price of milk
to the dairy. the dairy in turn passes
the raise on to the milk dealer and
he in turn increases the selling price
of milk to the consumer. 1t would
seem that the dealer is to be the
most benefited by the increase
for Thursday, for where
as he pays but three-fourths of a
cent per quart increase, the con-
sumner must pay one cent a quart In
crease, thus giving the dealer one
fourth cent additional profit.

President at WhIte HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13:-Presi-
dent Coolidge took up his duties for
the first time today at the executive
offices in the White House.
The chief executive arrived at his
desk a rew minutes before 9 o'clock
from the New Willard Hotel, where
he had established a temporary
headquarters and where he will
maintain his residence until Mrs.
Harding leaves the White House. He
was accompanied by ; secretary,
Edward T. Clark, and was met by
Secretary Christian, who will remain
on duty for a few days to assist the
President and Mr.. Clark in familiar
izing themselves with White House
details.
AS he entered the lobby of the
executive offices Mr.. Coolidge shook
hands with Sergeant c. L. Dalrymple,
for years in charge of the police
force stationed there. Then the ex-
ecutive hurried directly into the big
round room that since Roosevelt's S
of the presidents.
All the personal effects OF Presi-
dent Harding had been removed, in
cluding his chair. The picture of
Mr.. Harding, which had hung in the
outer office, also had been taken
away by Mr.. Christian.
Ever since President Harding left
on his Inflated western trip in June,
carpenters and painters ha. been
busy laying new floors and redecor-
ating and although the remodeling
had not been entirely completed, the
entrance of the new executive on his
duties found the executive offices
looking fresher than they had in
years.
AS soon as he had opportunity
the President greeted each mem
Der of the executive staff who had
been at their places ever since Pres
ident Harding left for the west.
He gave an especially cordial greet
ing to Rudolph Forster, the exeeu-
tive secretary.
The first caller to enter Presi-
dent Coolidges office was Frank
w. Stearns of Boston, his close
personal friend, who has been with
him almost continuously since he
was elevated to the presidency
Director Ford of the Budget
Bureau discussed with the President
various matters of detail in con-
nection with the new budget now in
preparation.
Another caller was James c. Da-
WIS.,, director general of railroads,
who was re-appointed TO that Of
flee by Mr.. Coolidge, as of August
2, the date on which the new pres
ident took his own oath of office.
This, it was explained was neces-
sary merely as a formality.

Survey and Inspection Will
Start this Week on Plans
for Quicker Connection
THIS PLACE affected
vehicuIar Commission Will
Include Perth Amboy in
Making Survey of Project

A committee named by the New
York and New Jersey Vehicuiar
Commission is expected to begin this
week on the survey and inspection
relative to the advisability of build
ing bridge or tunnel across the Ar
thur Kill between this city and Tot
tenville. At the point where the
bridge could be constructed is 1000
feet wide.
Several prominent citizens have
been urging a tunnell or a bridge
for a long time, and last winter the
Legislature of this State appropriated
$4,000 for a preliminary survey. A
similar amount Is expected to be con-
tributed by New Jersey out of it's
general funds. The proposed con-
nection is not designed to aid the
traffic of the New Jersey Central,
the Philadelphia & Reading or the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, which
touch Perth Amboy, although it was
stated that either a bridge or tun-
mel would expedite the transporta-
tion of food products and other ma
terials to Staten Island, and thus
decrease the cost of living.
The chief purpose is to supply a
means of quick connection between
the two points, so that persons travel
ing from one state to another may
do so without having to depend upon
the inadequate service now rendered
by a small ferry. 1t was said that
$4,000 automobiles are owned by
residents of Staten Island, and that
1t would take five days to transport
all of them by ferry across the
Arthur XIII and that vehicles are
now compelled to wait for hours be-
fore they can cross.
While no precise estimate of the
cost of tunnel or a bridge can be
given until after the necessary sur
veys are made 1t was reported by an
engineer of standing that 1t would
not be safe to figure that the cost
of either sort of structure would
not be much below $4,000, 900.
When some doubt was expressed as
to whether the tolls from traffic
would pay any fair interest on such
an investment 1t was explained that
so far as this city was concerned
that the influx of new residents
which would follow such a connec-
ton would increase taxable property
on Staten Island so as to make the
investment highly profitable.
Staten Island" said one of those
who discussed the matter, would
be placed on a par with the other
boroughs If it had this connection
with New Jersey. So far the Bor-
ough of Richmond has never had a
square deal"
Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner
of Plant and Structures, will an
nounce the date when the commit
tee will visit Tottenville and Perth
Amboy and make what examination
it can. The other members of the
New York Committee are State En-
| gineer Dwight B. LaDu and A. ].
Shamberg, a member of the New
York Vehicular Tunnel Commis-
| sion.

United States Senator Edge who was
quotes as declaring that he had
fput it over" when he secured the
anpointment of the colored Assem-
blyman Randolph as an assistant
federal district attorney.
Last winter the Senator was Wig
orously engaged in another effort to
put it over on the long suffering
Taxpayers of the state, when he
sought to make the highway board
an arm of ser vice to the Republican
organization of New Jersey" said the
Heher statement. Both Messrs. Edge
and Stokes, after silently acquiescing
for several years in the dry policy
of the Republican Party in this state
are now engaged in trying to reverse
this we'll defined position of the par
ty on the liquor question, declared
the state chairman.
