The ideal vegetable garden Is a.
mass of growing things from early
spring to killing frosts. This is ac-
eomplished only by tilought-out
and well-studied system of follow
and companion planting so that the
gardener Is ready with another crop
to go in when one comes out. This
is development of modern garden
ing which is restricted to smaller
spaces, than it was q generation ago
when enough space was readily
it's own individual space and turnips
to follow peas constituted the chief
attempt at follow cropping.
Now when the radishes are past
their prime they are removed for
beans, carrots, or some other later
crop. Formerly they were allowed
to run to seed. The lettuce patch will
support a late planting of peas.
beans, corn, beets or carrots. Among
the pea vines tomato plants can be
slipped into place and started on
their stakes to occupy the entire
space when the pea vines are pulled
up after yielding their crops. =
A seed bed adjoining the garden is
the chief convenience and mainstay
to keep the garden continuously at
work, transplanting from the seed
bed crops of yielding vegetables
to the places occupied by the earlier
ones. Here peppers. egg plants and
tomatoes may be nursed along until
the settled warmth arrives, when II.
is time to put them into the. garden
where some of the earlier crops are
on the wane. -.
Cabbage, caulifiower. brussels
sprouts and celery all can be started
in the seed bed and be ready to
move into the garden as soon as any
vacancies occur. Make the garden

ground idle if you would make the
most of it.

The only thing necessary in start

bring them out of storage two OF
three weeks before planting time or
even a month. Place them where the
temperature is a little warmer than
it is in the storage, and by all means
where a great deal of light reaches
the potatoes. 1t is essential, OF
course, that the potatoes be spread
in a relatively thin layer in order
that they all may receive the benefit
of a well diffused light.

RI. REV. M. ]. EObAN,
 BISHOP SCRANTON DEAD

SCRANTON, Penn, Nov. Is. (P)- Bishop M. J. Hoban, aged 73 of Scran- ton Catholic Dioces, died of pneu- monia. He has been ill since Sunday.
 The Rt. Rev. Michael John Hoban, bishop of the Catholic diocese of Scranton, Pa., gained wide prominence because of his activities in behalf of the miners in the anthracite coal re- gions, by whom he was regarded as welfare as we'll as a spiritual lead CT. His interest in the miners was second only to that in his church and diocese and his relations with the coal workers was such that his influence had a beneficial effect upon the lives of people of many faiths.
 Bishop Hoban frequently was called upon by the miners for advice and aid in their disputes with the opera tors and several times he was credit ed with bringing the two sides to- gether in amicable agreement, gener- ally favorable to the miners. The con- fidence of the miners in the bishop was such that even at times when they did not agree with his sugges- tions they accepted them, knowing he was acting not only for their inter- ests but for the general good of their dependents. Bishop Hoban was an active worker with citizens of the an- thracite region to rid Scranton and other. places of the mine cave menace.
 During the World war the Scranton diocese was the first in the United States to contribute it's quota of Cath ollie chaplains for war service and for this he was specially commended by the war and navy departments.

CHARLES Cuss OPTIONS
 CREEK CIRCLE DISTRICT

CIRCLE CITY, Nov. 1e. P) - Charles Guss, representing himself and Fairbanks interests, took an op- tion on a large portion of Deadwood creek, one of the best known and old est creeks worked in the district. It was staked in the early part of the nineties and worked by the oldtime method since Guss said he would place a keystone drill on the creek immediately to determine it's value for dredging.
