Slowly the conviction grows that
one ought to remake his garden about
once in every four or Ave years.
Otherwise even the finest place
tends to become petrified, CONCEALED,
lacking that spice Of life-interest.
The garden Of perennials that grow
each year, the individual plants of
which become old friends to the house
hold, Is an ideal more observed in
theory than practice.
Let the basis Of the garden be per-
ennials. The remainder well may be
ANIMALS, for the increased bloom and
interest to be derived from their
planting.
The great reason for remaking the
garden, however, aside from that Of
keeping up ones interest In this
healthful outdoor occupation, lies in
the necessity for wedding out poor
growers.
There are two things the average
amateur gardener will not do--ordi-
narily he will not disbud plants in
order to get better and larger flowers.
and seldom will he throw anything
away.
Disturbing is q hard -hearted pro-
ceedng, and not entirely necessary.
for many persons prefer to have more
flowers, though smaller.
Discarding plants that do not bloom,
however. is prime necessity In the
we'll kept garden, especially in the
small back yard, where room Is at a
premium.
Here Is a peony, for instance, which
has been in the ground for the past
four years. In all that time 1t has
had but one flower, a miserable thing,
not an inch and half across, when
this particular variety normally
throws blooms s to 10 inches in diam
eter.
It's foliage looks so we'll, however,
the owner is loath, If not downright
unwilling, to cast 1t into the refuse
heap.
Maybe it will bloom next yearw
Well. suppose 1T does, it will not
bloom very well, and. anyway, it has
had it's chance and has failed. Away
Give something else a chance!
The point is to be kept in mind that
the average amateur gardener re-
quires at least four or five years of
experience before he begins to realize
the necessity for throwing away poor
plants.
The way new gardeners cherish poor
things Ia almost comical. Plants that
are nothing but hindrance and care
are treasured as much as If they were
the finest specimens in the world
If one had large estate, this might
not be SO bad, but in the small place
1t Is fatal to complete garden salts.
faction.
Garden satisfaction, after all, Is
what one is seeking.

No, the thing to do is to ruthlessly
take up all plants that do not come
across" after a fair trial. If they have
disappointed you for four years, they
will do 1t for eight more, or as long
as they live.
Now. in the latter days Of August,
when the glory Of the garden begins
to fade although there may be some

Need for Action.

The District government again finds
itself between two fires. On the one
hand is the Treasury Department.
which has asked the pertinent ques-
ton of when it may expect definite
information relative to removal of the
Farmers Market. On the other hand
is Congress, which does not meet until
December, and which surely will want
to have its fingers in any pie seasoned
with new appropriations. The Com.
missioners can give no definite answer
now about when the Farmers Market
will be vacated nor where a new one
will be located. 1t all depends upon
Congress and the expedition with
which that body acts on recommenda-
tons prepared by the Commissioners
before the next session. The most
astute prophet would be unwise in
hazarding a guess regarding such
action.
The choice of the new site for a
Farmers Market is complicated to
some extent by the changes in the
Board of Commissioners since the
question was last agitated. Commits
sioner Bell devoted a great deal of
time and study to the problem, but
Commissioner Bell has gone. Those
who inherit the responsibility of choos-
ing a new location must review Col.
Bells findings and make themselves
familiar with the whole situation. The
manner Of doing this is provided in
the hearings planned by the Commits.
sioners for October as a result Of the
discovery by the last Congress that
there existed great emergency Of
opinion among District residents re-
garding new site.
There is no question about the
Treasury Departments right to in
sist on information which will serve
to clarity its own problem. The de.
partment hopes to let contracts for
excavatipg work on the Internal
Revenue Building at the beginning Of
the next calendar year. This work
will be hindered If there is no new
location provided for the market, for
the present sheds must be RACED.
While there are funds for razing them,
there is no money available for build.
ing new ones. The Treasury hest
tates to throw the farmers out with.
out the assurance that they will be
provided with a new market.
A wise move on the part of the Com.
missioners would be to settle their
part Of the problem now and leave the
rest to Congress and the Treasury. If
the Commissioners choose a new loca.
ton Immediately, preparing estimates
Of cost and plans for new structures,
acquainting the Treasury with its de-
cision, the remaining responsibility
will devolve upon Congress. It will be
Congress and not the Commissioners
which must face the alternatives of
proceeding with the erection Of a new
market as soon as the money can be
appropriated: of delaying work on the
Governments building program, or Of
casting the farmers out without pro.
viding them with a new site for mar.
keting their produce. If the Commits.
sioners and the Treasury present q
united front in December, with the
plea for immediate action, chances for
extensive delay will be more remote.

Business VS.. Decency.

IT Despite protests that represent the
best sentiment Of the community
against the proposed exhibition at
local theater of man who is linked
in the pubic mind with a most loath-
some happening, evidence appears
that the personal appearance" Of the
individual in question will take place.
: The Star has received numerous COM
i mendations of its editorial expression
of disapproval of this enterprise,
which has Enthusiastically for it's object
the rehabilitation Of a once popular
but for some years thoroughly dis
credited performer Of the motion pic
ture stage. All of them are earnest
and sincere. and they indicate, to-
gether with other manifestations. that
selfrespecting Washingtonians are
outraged by the proposal.
It has been stated In defense of the
booking of this man for personal ap-
pearance" in Washington that in
other cities he has been received with
manifestations of approval and well
come. II that is true, then indeed is
the American memory short and the
American sense of decency distorted.
Only a few seasons ago there was a
general outburst Of indignation when
1t was first proposed that this person
reappear in motion pictures. So
marked was the public reaction against
him, because Of his Identification with
an outrageous happening, that those
in control Of the movie industry kept
him from the films. Certain pic.
lures" that had been already produced
were withheld from display. They
have been held in storage" perhaps
with the idea that eventually the
wave of public feeling would pass and
b would be possible to present them.
It is evident that this present tour
In personal appearance" has for its
object the testing of the memory or
the abiding sentiment of the people
who little while ago were expressing
their determination never again to
patronize any showing of the film
work Of this man. II there Is re-
Spouse that can be regarded as favor.
able, the now stored pictures will be
released and the actor himself put
back to work making new ones.
Thus there is strong commercial
motive in the effort to "rehabilitate"
the performer who was so lately the
object Of pronounced public condem-
nation. The contest-for in view of
the determination to continue the
program as arranged it must be re.
garded as such-is between business
and decency. 1t is for the people of
washington to align themselves.
Those who feel that the appearance
or this person on public stage as an
entertainer Is not Objectionable may
attend and manifest their disregard of
the proprieties that little while ago
were considered to have been so
grievously violated. Those who hold
70 the contrary may register their
protest by their absence.
j. The Star feels that it has rendered
. service to the public. and incidentally
to the motion picture industry, by
calling attention to this test Of senti.
ment involved in the circuit of per.
sonal appearances" It is assured of
= Endorsement of its course by the vol.
ume OF expressions of approval, which,
It may be noted, have not been coun.
tered by single objection save from
professionally interested sources.

INSURANCE RATES
ARE OK SAYS A. /. C.

The Arizona Industrial commission
dismissed the complaint filed by in
surarce agents Of the state against
action Of the commission in writing
compensation insurance at lower
rates than those fixed by private
companies In its decision the
commission held that the writing of
state insurance at rates lower than
those Of private companies is no more
unfair than the creation, in the first
place, Of the funds for competing with
the private companies. The result Of
the decision is that private insurance
companies in Arizona have no further
recourse against competition entered
by the worlz1nen's compensation act,
unless they attack the legality Of the
act itself.
Denial was made by the commission
in til; decision that the evidence pre-
.sented was sufficient to establish that
the rate used by the state compen-
sation fund and accident benefit fund
are inadequate.

the trip up, for altitude and jump.

There didn't seem to be any special
reason for looking over the side as
the climb for altitude was made, but
there was a fascination in watching
everything down there diminish in
size. After the tap on the shoulder,
it became very evident that it was a
man-sized job for novice to step out
of the cockpit and get forward to the

The location has been selected, eight

The management is under the direc-

Miami and Gila county. Both city
and county expect to reap much bene-

fox farm will give them.
The state of Wisconsin has devel-
