1 ""' M0"1" garden must not bo a burden
J- or. a bore. It will require some time to
operate, but nothing Is got without some
sacrifice of energy or effort Certainly not
crops ! Rut on tho scale that these articles
have set of back-yard gardens on truck
patches In the pubmban home to reduce the
cost of living, the value will ba lost If the
amateur gardener loads himself up with
too much work nnd Is exhausted so from
his efforts that his regular occupation puf
fers. There need be no such dllflculty or ex
haustion If the garden Is planned out so
thero will not be too much room to be cared
for and If tho plan Is followed systemati
cally. Furthermore, It Is quite possible and
agreeable to consider the garden the sub
stitute for outdoor exercise which most
sensible people prescribe for themselves dur
ing the spring, summer nnd fall months
Gardening Is one of tho most fascinating
of outdoor sports There can be no doubt
of that. And Instead of registering merely
a golf, baseball or tennis score It icglstcrs
so mnny pecks of tomatoes or beans.
Personally, I ppend eight to ten hours a
day tolling In the big city, yet have time
and without being a serf to my soil to keep
things successfully moving. Other mem
beis of tho family ran gle a lift In the
gardening nnd will enjoy the woik and the
results. None of my woik Is "hired nut"
except tho plowing nnd hallowing, .ind I
have about 40 by 100 feet under cultivation.
And this does not Include (lowers, fruit trees
nnd various berry bushes and grapevines.
ONLY A Fi:V HOL'IIS A W1CP.IC
An hour or two three or four evenings a
week will bo enough time for keeping a
garden 20 by "0 feet In good shape it it is
properly planned In advance. The Satur
day half holiday, which is now nearly uni
versal, can be utilized for large jobs.
Personally, I do a lot of gardening on
Sundnv mornings after church. I see no
spiritual harm or religious error in tills.
Some bae different views and they need
not' devote any of their Sundays to garden
work it scruples Inhibit.
The cool of tho evening Is a fine time for
miinvntlnti. stirring tho soil, weeding, etc.
which form the routine work Planting can
be done on half holidays or Sunday morn
ing. If there Is not concientious objection.
One can have either an early dinner prior
to setting about tho garden woik or one
can work up a good appetite and enjoy the
jewaids of labor with a somewhat lato din
ner. It Friend Wife Is not ciabbed on punc
tuality at meals. Most wives aro such en
thusiastic gardeneis that they do not object
to deferring the dinner hour.
Sometimes It is advisable to get up about
5 In the morning to do a Job of special
urgency. This Is not such a hardship as it
sounds. Theie Is nothing more pleasuiablo
than working outdoors on a fresh, fiagiant
early morning It Is n tonic for tho entire
dav that follows.
Half a dozen hours per w?ek will bo suf
ficient time to put In a small backyard gar
den in tho city.
To get over the ground once a week,
even' row of. It. with the wheel cultivator
or the hand hoe, Is sufficient. This should
be done when the heavy wet Is out of the
ground after a rain. Thiff tilth or stirring
of the soil keeps the weeds down, releases
plant food and conserves moisture.

THE WARNING

As soon ns Father Duck got out or his

cry npd Hew as fast ns he could to tho
tree where David was seated, wildly giv
ing the wigwag signals of danger
When Father Duck reached his side Da
vid flow was too excited lo sneak, so the
Duck waited for the black fellow to get
his breath. Finally he s.ild. still panting
"I went over to the fnim this afternoon
nnd while on my way I heard some irei
talking. Drawing near I discovered tha'
they were hunters nnd I plopped to liten '
"How brave and how kind!" exclaim"!

"TlianUs.' answered DnvM "The nun

complaining thnt tlieie wasn't a thing i

said they were going to sail down the

They did?" said Father Duck, ex
citedly. "Yes. and they meant It, too, for they
seemed tenlbly provoked, for It seems they
have lost n lot of money this .vear.
"I knew that if they went down tho
river they would pass verv near your home
and some of you might be shot "
"How kind of you," s.ild Father Duck.
"!t won led me almost to death. I
couldn't come home, so I sent a messr.-.e

signal but he signaled '(Jo away fiom the

WHY do so many business men purchase and use the
new Encyclopaedia Britannica? Why sixteen times more
business men and women than college professors and teachers?
And twenty-five times more than clergymen?
The answer to these questions is the reason why YOU too
should own this wonderful work.
And the answer is this:
Business today offers the great advantages .pays the largest
dividends on brains and energy. Hence, it attracts ambitious
young men and women in increasing numbers.
These form by far the largest class of investors in the new
Britannica and they have bought it to use as a means of
getting up, or winning promotion to the preferred positions in the
large railroad, financial, industrial ana ousiness organizations.
For the Britannica is complete and authoritative in its practical information relating to every branch of
business, whether you want to know about raw materials, manufacturing, markets, transportation,
railroad rates, merchandising or finance.
Thousands of letters from business men all over the country indorse the Britannica as a profitable
investment for everyone who seeks to keep abreast of present-day demands.
Rudolph Blankenburg, retired woolen manufac
turer of Philadelphia.says the Britannica is "a business and
household necessity.
John H. Patterson, president of the National
Cash Register Co., calls the Britannica "a clearing house
of knowledge."
Hugh Chalmers, president of the Chalmers Motor
Co., declares that the Britannica is of great value to "the
young business man of today who needs to be thoroughly
posted in order to' prepare himself for promotion. "
James B. Forgan, formerly president of the First
National Bank of Chicago, recommends the Britannica as
"almost a necessity to any one who wants to post himself
on matters such as come almost daily to his attention."
E. P. Ripley, president of the great "Santa Fe"
railroad system, says railroad men need it.
Professor Paul T. Cherington, chairman of the
National Educational Committee of the Associated Adver
tising Clubs, says: "You make it necessary for every alert
business man to ask himself whether he can afford to get
along without the Britannica."
Other vell-kno-n leaders in business who have pur
chased and use the Britannica include: Samuel Rea,
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Ex-Judge Gary,
the head of the United States Steel Corporation; J. Ogden
Armour, president of Armour & Co.; Theodore N. Van,
president of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co.

POOR NEGROB WW

Against Swindlers
Hogus negro ministers In Philadelphia
have been making small fortunes for months
by swindling negroes arriving In this city
from the South, nccotdlng to James J.
Moran, Inspector In tho Ilurcnu of employ

swindlers would start today or torrforrow.
.Many nrrests have been predicted, The

Hlnte insurance ( ommlssloner.
The swindling scheme Used wns to "land"
negioes ftesh fiom Southern -Slates who
came bote seeking promised high wages,
The victims, Mr. Moran said, wero "steered"
by confederates Into the hands of bogus
negro mlnlsteis, who Inveigled them into
taking fuko Insurance policies nnd apply
lug to fake employment ngencles.
An Investigation of the cases has been
made It is piedleted that many of the

Mr Moian said-
"In tunny instances ttie 'preachers' weie
collecting fifty cents nnd $t a week from

fake bencflclni societies, hundreds of tht
"negioes gave J2. which went Into the pock-

'When n negro arrived he was met by
