It is time, for us to think of the
fall garden. Let us plan for the
August planting. Some of the things
we may plant are Broccoli, Mustard,
Endive, Lettuce, Seven Top Turnip
and Chinese Cabbage Swiss Chard,
Celery, Collards, Cabbage Snap Beans,
Lima Beans, Subar Corn and Toma-
toes.
Sow celery in plant beds and cover
the soil with old burlap bags or a
layer of heavy building paper. This
covering will hold moisture and hast
en- termination. AS soon as the
plants appear above the ground re-
move this covering. Transplant to
field around 6 to 8 weeks later. Set
plants in double rows 6 to inches
apart. Celery will not mature in acid
soil. Wood ashes or hydrated lime
broadcast over the soil area a month
Or more before setting plants will aid
in maturing celery.
If you have never eaten real sugar
corn (sweet corn) why not try Golden
Cross Bantam variety This variety
natures uniformly develops ears ear
ly having 10 to II rows and with kerr
nels which are sweet and tender. Plant
ed by the first of August it should ma
ture before frost
For head lettuce SOW seed in bed
which is partially shaded during the
day. Cover seed bed with a layer of
woods litter and water thoroughly
once week. Transplant to partially
shaded part of the garden during the
latter part of August. Apply SIS fert
ilizer to plant row week before
transplanting. Set plants six inches
apart in row. A few weeks after
transplanting, give plants light side
dressing of nitrate of soda. New York
Wonderful (Strain No. 12), is a good
7ariety to plant.

GABLE AWAITS
CALL Of DEFENSE
Attorneys for Mrs. Norton
Plan to Call Film Star
to Stand.
b. the Associated Press.

3y the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, April 22-Clark
Gable, having finished his testimony
As a Government witness, waited to-
day to be called for the defense in
the trial Of Mrs. Violet Wells Nor
ton, who termed her daughter Ga
bles "love child"
Mrs Norton is charged with mail
fraud and conspiracy.
The Government alleges she mailed
letters to Gable and other people, ask
ing that he contribute to the sup
port Of pretty 13-year-old Gwendo-
line.
She Is Clark Gables love child,
Ill right" letter to Mae West said.
Gable has appeared twice for the
Government. He stated the first time
that he was not Gwendoline's father
and never had seen her mother. Later,
he identified salary checks paid him
by a Portland, Greg, lumber COM
pany in 1923, the year Mrs. Norton's
letters state he was in England max
ing love to her as Frank Billings"
Never Was Deceived.
Her attorneys said they would recall
Gable to show he never was deceived
by her representations, and never
paid her any money, hence Mrs. Nor
ton could not be guilty Of fraud.
In the letter to Mae West, Mrs.
Norton declared Billings hid under
the house where she and another
man-whom she married three years
later-were living. He discovered she
was unmarried, locked her in his cot
tage, and taught her 'for the first
time what love was" the letter stated.
Mrs. Norton's attorneys base their
defense on the honest mistake" in
identity they say she made In con-
fusing Billings for Gable.
On trial with her is Jack L. Smith,
private detective. A third man,
Frank keenan,, Winnipeg, Canada,
also was named in the indictment.

shakedown. He said it looked that
way to him, too, but that he would
like to protect the movie industry,
which would suffer if Gables name
were smeared all over the papers.

film actress, said she played in barn

Boys Make Game of
Breaking City Lamps

Hutchinson-The City of Hutchinson
has found that it harbors a prospective
underworld gang in a group of boys
who have made game out of breaking
street lights. 1t has been revealed that
there is a secret organization, with
points given for the youngsters who
make the best" records. The rumor
has it that Is points are given for
breaking white way globe (Which cost
the city $25 each) with five points for
street lights and three points for in
sulators. Breaking these valuable OBJ
jects is part of the initiation of the
club, and any member who has not a
hundred or SO points to his credit is
considered "Softie." The practice has
been going on for several weeks, the lads
using hard mud balls, stones and icy
snowballs for their purpose. The city
council has offered a reward of SIS for
information which will lead to the ar
rest of the members of the gang, with
good prospects Of the city going broke
soon unless they are apprehended.

ROAD POLICY
UP TO S0L0NS
Commissioner Elsberg States
That Ten Million Dollars
Are at Stake.

With upwards of 100000 in fedora
aid funds as one of the benefits at stake
N w. Elsberg, state commissioner Of
highways, in his biennial letter of legis-
lative recommendations to Governol
Elmer A. Benson, today placed the de-
termination of MinneSota'S future high
way policy directly in the hands of the
people of the state and their elected
representatives.
Commissioner Elsberg,s report and
recommendations were particularly per-
tinent inasmuch as only last week, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture allotted
to Minnesota $5,537,0 in federal high
way funds for 1887, most of Which can
not be obtained, however, unless the
state matches the federal money with
state funds that are not now either
available or in sight. A similar amount
will be at stake in 1898, before another
Legislature meets.

of normal highway improvement pro-
gram or the adoption of a schedule of
motor vehicle and motor fuel taxes high
enough to meet the cost of such pro-
gram"
The commissioner adhered to his
statement made during December that
he would make no effort to influence
the Legislature as to the policy it should
choose. He did advise, however, that
legislation be enacted which would put
the Highway department on a pay-aS-
you-go basis, so that road dollars will
go for roads instead of to pay interes.
on bond indebtedness
A pay-as-you-go policy, he said, only
can be accomplished either by elimina-
ting road construction or by increasing
current revenues to match federal aid
funds, meet state obligations on other
federal funds, and provide state funds
for roads on which no federal aid is
available.
The report points out that the 1888
legislature added 4,5O0 miles of county
roads to the state trunk system, in
its mileage IS percent, and at
the same time reduced motor. vehicle
licenses and left gasoline taxes un-
changed. This provided no means for

Pronunciation of est. Louis

The Americana gives the popular
pronunciation of the name est. Louis"
as Saint Loo-is, though Webster gives
both this and Saint Loo-ey. In 1852 two
merchants of New Orleans organized
a firm to trade with the Missouri river
Indians, getting license from the gov
ernor of Louisiana. On February IA,
1894, a party of workmen landed at
the site selected by Laclede for his
trading post and began work the next
day. The town was named in honor Of
Louis Nv whose patron saint was St.
Louis.

financing the improvement and main
tenance of the enlarged trunk system y
and none has yet been provided. the
report adds, at the same time setting
forth that the 1885 legislature met the
critical situation by authorizing further
bond issues to finance matching of fed
eral aid.
Commissioner Elsberg cited that bond
charges now take more than one
fourth of the current income of the
Highway department every year." He
advised the governor that complete de-
tails of the financial problems of the
department will be presented to the
proper legislative committees, but ex-
pressed it as his belief that the Gin
terests OF the motorists and the public
will be best served by making a sub
stantial increase in current revenues for
the trunk highway system"
How this can be accomplished is a
matter for legislative determination, the
commissioner said, abiding by his earlier
assertion that the Highway department
will make no campaign for revenue.
Commissioner Elsberg stressed the
Importance of growing public demand
for safer roads, separated traffic lanes,
separated crossings, widening and
Strengthening of older highways and
greater sight distances on curves and
hills.
Two specific measures were suggested
in the interest of safety: first, adequate
provision for financing and mainten-
ance Of the Drivers License Division and
enforcement of the law that created it;
and second, legislation to meet the
growing traffic problem produced by in
creasing numbers of house trailers."
In this regard he urged that regulations
be adopted imposing minimum stand
ards of construction, brakes, clearance
lights, rear vision, and couplings.
He also cited the employment pro-
vided by road construction, urged great
study and care in addition of any more
routes to the trunk system in view of
the present situation, and asked that
be given the department to
borrow from available state funds to
avoid temporary financial embaraSs-
ment if the legislature extends the time
for payment of license fees.
The report warned that refunds of
gasoline taxes have been spread to so
many fields and reached such large sums
that these laws should be strengthened
to prevent abuse of the privileges orig
inally intended. 1t urged further legis-
lative study of means to tax other motor
fuels coming into competition with gas
cline, but not now taxable
