or a bale of straw with his front
feet. He gets up there and waits
for the excIamatiOnS to come
forth on the subject of his great
beauty, of which he is firmly
convinced himself. Also this big
bum is very partial to coming
into the house. ANY house.
However, when he comes into
the house at the farm, it's by
necessity when Mother is away;
somehow she has a definite feel"
ing against horses in her IL
brary.
So now his plans are to winter
in Pinehurst, a lovely climate.
But he's upset not to be in the
horse show. With his white
points all nicely washed he's
pretty to watch. But never
mind, John, you'll be seen
and admired-and you needn't
be ashamed, you'll be in other
horse shows, and nobody has
forgotten your past record!

BY EVE" ROBERT
This is John the Baptist.
For a change, he's not going
to be in the horse show this
year. He's been spending the
summer on his farm on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. =.
And when / say HIS farm, /
mean it.
He runs the stable and pad
docks with q rod of iron
Being rotten SpOiled"-which Is
my own fault-he demands
everything of the best. He
makes everyone mad enough to
kill him, with his petty ideas
of his own Importance. He
takes the young colts in hand
and diSciplines them strictly
when he feels they've over
stepped themselves in smart
ness; he bites anyone who
comes near who would DARE
feed another horse in the stable
a carrot or apple before giving
the refusal. :.
He, like Dakota, is a great
clown. He knows perfectly well
what's going on all around him,
he feels it strongly at a horse
show If he Is left alone in his
stall while people go to watch
the show.
Upon this subject, let me say
that he can open ANY gate or
stall if he can just get his
mouth on the latch Some
times, in the country this isn't
so good, because he lets all the
others out at the same time
not to mention the damage he
does to the vegetable garden,
where he goes right away The
LOVES beets) =. He's a great
jumper, loves it and hates like
the mischief to hit a jump .
He's not easily offended if he
gets "hOllered at"-which Is
very Often-but if his rider
wears spurs or carries a whip,
the rider might as well give up
=. For John resents the idea Of
this kind of urging" He'll
stand perfectly still and not
move, like a wooden horse.
He loves to play with a big
ball, a balloon, or even if you
leave a rag in his stall, he'll
shake it and play by the hour
He's not a trick horse, though
he has one or two things he can
do. One is to stand on a bench

CIVIL SERVICE.
TRAINING PLANS.
TOLD ASSEMBLY.
u. S. Education Chief.
Details Huge Program
BY !. EARLE MOSER

A far-flung in-service training
program reaching every type ot
o vernment employe, including
those of States, counties ano
cities. is being prepared by the
Government to produce more et'
ficienCy in the public service, the
Civil Service Assembly was told
today by John W. Studebaker, U,
S. Commissioner of Education.
Studebaker revealed that the
Office of Education soon will set
I'D a new unit which will guide the
program and assist efforts Of Fed
eral, State and city governments
in training more than 100000
workers. The official said that
the plan to date has reached only
the formative stage.
TREMENDOUS JOB"
This program will have to
get away from theory and stick
to realities" DR.. Studeoaker
warned, pointing out there are
many practical problems to be
faced. and that his office must
Wrestle with tremendous
Job" of curriculum making.
1T must keep its feet on the
ground or it won't work" Stude-
baker added. And it must not
become academic in that sense"
Assembly delegates were told by
the commissioner that the interest
being taken in public affairs today
'is one of the most hopeful signs,
and he said that those in charge
of public business must make 1t
their business to seek the very
highest type of personnel.
DIRECTOR SOUGHT
Studebaker said the new pro-
gram will get under way as soon
as he has selected the official who
will direct it, and the latter is
placed on the job.
He said there will be an advisory
committee selected to help the
director and in the fiscal budget
for 1910 he will seek to establish
probably four field workers to
work as laiaSon officers between
Federal and community admins
trationS.
DR.. Studebaker also reminded
the assembly that the George
Deen act provided a certain
amount of Federal money to be
available to each State for hiring
teachers of public service, advising
the assembly to see that this
money is put to work.
HEAVIEST SESSION
Concurrently, this morning
Arthur w. Flemming, American
University's public school director,
told the assembly he did not be-
lleve that in,SerVice training
should be used by officials as a
requirement for promotions in the
Government service, but that en-
ployes should be required to show
what competency they may have
achieved through such training.
The Civil Service Assembly today
had embarked on its heaviest ses-
sion of panel discussions. Gordon
r. Clapp, iva personnel director,
was to be chairman of a discus
sion of employe grievances and
complaints late this afternoon,
while Civil Service Commissioner
Samuel H. OrdWay, jr., was to be
chairman of a panel concerned
with public relations Of personnel
agencies.

DOG MART FETE'
HELD TODAY At.
FREDERICKSBURG
Auction to Be Feature,
With Ball Tonight

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Oct.
20.-Dog days are not over!
Not in Fredericksburg. at any
rate, because today more than
600 dogs and 1000 persons will
participate in the two-and-a-half-
century-old dog mart in City Park.
TRICK DOG SHOW
There were bench shows this
morning, a parade, including Bat.
terry F, 111th Field Artillery, q
trick dog show this afternoon,
and-a fox-horn blowing contest!
More than 230 years ago Col.
David Harums thought the In
dians needed more dogs so they
could do more hunting and get
more furs so the traders could
make more money. And, he
argued, if they had more dogs,
they could do it! So Fredericks-
burg's first dog mart was held
and the Colonel's pump printing
turned out successfully.
ACTION FEATURE
Eleven years ago FrederickS-
burg revived its ancient dog mart
with plenty Of dogS-and no In
dams. Instead, thousands Of tour
lists and dog fancierS gathered. as
they are doing today.
The highlight of the affair is the
auction, and it starts at 2::30 p. m.
with w. Barton Mason, OF Orange,
on the roStrum.
Then at 10 p. m, the dog mart |
ball will wind up the festivities at
the ElkS Club. .

OCTOBER BUSY MONTH
FOR HOME GARDENERS

October finds the careful gardner
with a multitude Of tasks on his
hands, according to Glenn o. Rand
all, of the State College Department
of Horticulture.
Since this month is the time to
plant hardy or spring Towering
bulbs such as tulips, narcissi, and
Dutch hyacinths, special attention
should be given to the preparation
Of the soil. Most bulbs require that
the soil be pulverized to depts of
eight to ten inches.
Hardy bulbs respond favorably to
commercial fertilizers, the formula
most commonly used being 1910.
Such fertilizer should be applied at
the rae of two to three pounds per
100 square feet of soil. Stable ma
nure should not be used as fertiliz-
er unless it is thoroughly decayed
and carefully mixed with the soil.

Hammond, in his rage, forgot he
had guns. He lunged at Dawes
throat as Dave leaped to meet him,
his face conferred with fury. AS
soon as the sheriff saw that Rosy
was trying to part them, he hol-
stored his guns and stepped in. It
was a full minute before Dave and
Hammond were separated, the sher-
Tiff pushing his grunting bulk against
Hammond and forcing him aaginst

Hammond's eyes were murderous.
