The police appreciate the fact
that some of the boys dislike pub
LEFTY and would rather take a
loss than reported 1t to the police.
A complaint would result in an
investigation and the nature of
their business would become
known. The authorities know of
many instances in which gambling
devices have been stolen and moth
ing said, but the recent cases In
which guns have been used to
compel the surrender of money or
merchandise are unusual. 1t has
been an old fashioned custom for
years victims to tell their troubles
to the police.

False Alarm Sent
In Yesterday Morning

A false alarm was registered
from Box 32S at the corner of
Washington avenue and Railroad
Hill street at 1853 O'Clock yesterday
morning. 1t was the second time
within two weeks that fire appara-
tus responded to a needless call
from this box. Yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock a taxi cab caught
fire and several companies of fire
apparatus were sent in response to
the alarm. The incident occurred
on the north side of the Green, a
short distance from the Immacu-
late Conception church.

IL you have the land and can buy
the seeds, knowledge of how to
grow them can be largely acquired
from garden publications of the U.

From everywhere comes the re-
port that people living on farms
have had plenty to eat this winter.
They may not have had many new
clothes, but they are not worrying
about food. They have their pan
try shelves filled with canned
goods, and their. cellar storages and
bins are well stocked with pota-
toes, turnips, cabbage, and other
products of their gardens and or
chards.
+ Most of these folk have plenty
of cured hams and bacon in their
smOkehouses, and also poultry
and eggs, milk, butter, and, in
some cases, fresh beef and NUT
ton produced right on their own
farms. With the exception of one
or two local drought areas, farm
ers of the country grew plenty of
food and feed last summer. In
other words, they adopted the
Live at Home" policy last year
and put it>to work for all it was
worth.
Not many town and city dwell
ers have tried to do much with
home curing or canning of their
own meats, other than poultry,
but last year was a big year in gar
dening In back yards and vacant
lots. Town gardens, too, helped
many q family live more "at home"
and with less pressure on the fam
lily pocketbook. Many back yard
gardens provided welcome supple-
ments to the family table and also
substantial surplus for canning.
Now's the Time!
Another gardening season is with
us. Now Is the time to clean up
the garden spot, to fertilize, con-
suit seed catalogs, order seeds and
fertilizers, and to sharpen spades
and hoes SO as to be ready for
garden work at the first twitter of
the robin or bluebird.
Don't waste time or precious
garden space on crops that are not

 Chicago. June S-(U. P.) - The clang of steel on steel 1nd the cheery whistle of the man at work rang through Chicago Stadium to- day as the great structure was decked out in its party dress for the republican national convention six days away
 From the vast basement that q few months ago stabbed the steers and ponies for a rodeo to the airy reaches of the oval dome, the sta dium rang to the thud of hammers. the whine of saws, the chatter of riveting machines and the hiss of welding torches.
 Two tons of structural steel were 'riveted together to-day to form the big platforms on which members of the national committee will sit and from which Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio will speak when he calls the convention to order next Tues day morning.
 Nearly 25O carpenters. steel workers. electricians. decorators, seamstresses and other workers hummed or whistled as they worked. They rejoiced with good reason. The ,scale of prices paid was superintendent of steel construction $l5 day; steel workers, $1.35 an hour; electricians, s1.70 an hour; carpenters. $1.34 an hour: decora- tors. $1.35 an hour; laborers. 97 cents an hour.
 Directing the decorating was John Reimer. who adorned the Co- liseum for the convention which nominated Harding in 1920. He described how the stadium will be in the following words:
