Nag . -'® ve 3 In Your Garden By GORDON L. SMITH + oa, 4 The old idea of planting all the vegetable s¢ed in one afternoon is a-hang-over from pioneer days when "both seasons and time were limited. Only a few vegetables were grown in the early days. not have the variety to offer, and 'the average man regarded the gar. den as part of the farm wheré one crop was about all that could be ex- pected. ! : No Excuse For Running Ou But all is changed now. Experts point out -that there is no excuse for running out of lettuce early in the Summer, for example, wheh after the season for the leaf variety head lettuce could be grown, and then during the -hot weather the Cos type.. The latter is a compact, conical- * .shaped type which defies the heat. Like the head variety, it should be started fairly early, probably a week or two after the first leaf lettuce is sown, : And this range of variety runs Seedsmen did > ag through almost all vegetable classes. There are early," medium and late corn, peas, beets and scores of other vegetables. There are differ- ent sizes and shapes to suit various uses, such as salad material, pickl- ing, canning, ete, Easily Grown Flowers' A brilliant garden of flowers, even the kind that the neighbors will re- gard with envy, is not a difficult creation. True, there are some of the rarer varieties of roses, lilies, .gladioli and similar things that re- quire skill and not a little amount of luck. But for the average man or woman,- with only a limited amount. of time, space and money, there is really a wide range of variety, color and height." Many of these things are almost as easily grown as weeds, Once planted, and possibly thinned, they will flourish despite neglect and insects. In this category will come cosmos, madri- gols, alyssum, calliopsis, batchelor buttons, calendulas and portulaca. An Editor Recalls a His School Teacher J. W. Curran in the Sault Ste. Marie Star writes, 18 the teaching profession held in the high esteem - it deserves? The teacher who possesses the great faculty of securing his pupjls' interest and confidence, and whose teaching is neither above 'nor below his class, and who always remem: bers that the plastic material under his 'hands will be greatly influenced through life by its impressions of him, is beyond. all price. «~ Will just anybody do for the job? A few days ago there passed away at Orillla, Wiliam T. TesKey, aged 91, one of those rare souls who in spire; Nearly all of this column's public school days were passed un- der his tutelage. And looking back -on those days the writer knows of no other man who -had such an in. fluence on his avhole life. Always .alive to his finger tips, exercising a strict discipline' tempered with 'Bound sense and good nature, he seemed to regard a let down in the interest of his pupils as a reflection on his - own ability as a teacher. He always addressed his pupils with grave courtesy. On Friday afternoons his pupils were encouraged to read, aloud a poem, -a newspaper clipping or a. frag- ment that appealed to them. Then & little tale of the outside world (Mr. Teskey had been to Philadelphia once), a little homely talk on patriot- fsm, the duty we owed our parents, respect for our elders and consider- ation for the less fortunate. High praise 'for the studious and infinite pains . with the less careful. The result: Nobody wanted to leave him when high school beckoned, where in contrast life seemed so drab. Forty-six years after school closed Mr. Teskey had "compositions" of his old boys and girls treasured -in his home, and we spent .an afternoon turning the leaves of the big -scrap. school books, in which were old programs, clippings from newspapers and other momentoes of the children he had loved and whose careers had been a never-ending source of inter- est to him. Then occasionally he would write, just show us he hadn't forgotten. : -- Fifteen years ago they had an Old Home Week at Orillia and the high- light of the event to 85 of Mr. Tes- key's old pupils was a gathering at the old school which had been turn- ed into a storage room. The old master presided. On the blackboard were the sums that had been given the last day the school had been open--46 years before. We sat around on planks supported on chairs, though many couldn't find a seat. - The "School" had been call ed at 9o'clock by Mr. Teskey using a hammer on a piece of old school bell that Mayor Frost had found, It wasn't expected that more than 25 would 'turn up and 'hat the session GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules " Fine for Weak Acid Kidneys and Bladder Irritation sae STOP GETTING UP NIGHTS One 40-cent box of these famous capsules will put healthy activity into your kidneys and bladder--flush out harmful waste poisons and acid and prove to you that at last you have a grand diuretic and stimulant that will swiftly cause these troubles to cease, But be sure and get GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules -- safe and harmless--the original and genuine-- right from Haarlem .in Holland.

Spee- ches, of course, and things that pluck- ed a little at the heart strings. A wholes«le merchant of Minneap- olis recognized a speaker hy his voice. "We sat at the same desk in this room - when we were nine years old," he said. The boys and girls told "secrets" of the long ago, and some of them made teacher's eyes wet. When one of them spoke of a strapping he had got, Mr. Teskey sald with great feel ing: "I'm sorry." ~ Then they gave him a chair and a purse and told Fm how much they owed him, and what a fine man they always had thought him. And he praised them, forgetting nobody, : Of course, William T. Teskey was an extraordinary teacher and a most unusual moulder of character. But there must be lots more of his calibre serving the boys and girls of today, and the school boards which are for- tunate enough to have them, owe them more than they can ever pay them, Sometimes it might be worth while to find out from the pupils just how they feel about teacher. Doubtless then the hoard might feel a little dif ferent about showing a real appreci- ation. of his services. ~ - ¥ > Smiles and : Chuckles v 2 A woman using rouge reminds one of a fellow using intoxicating liquor--the longer they use it the more they take. --_---- The prisoner was being tried for stealing a pig, and a conscientious witness, to whom the accused was _ said to have confided, was being ex- amined.

Britain's Students Ave LONDON -- Britain's schoolboys and girls are waiting these days for their ships to come in. Under a new idea, aimed at forging an un- derstanding link between students and the British meveantile marine, 400 schools have "adopted" liners, freighters, colliers and even tramns.

Problems Prevention usually is better than cure, and especially so in dealine wih soil problems. An interesting example of the depletion of plant food is- found on many pastures. I'or many years no fertilizer was needed to produce profitable pasturace. To- day plant food must be added, for most of it has been marketed through cattle.

This depletion of plant food brines about 'a change in the vegetation of the pasture. Bridegroom of .76 Has Divorce Plan MADISON, Wis.-- Assemblyman Charles A. Beggs, 76-year-old recent bridegroom, - intent on eliminating false testimony and cutting costs of divorces, has proffered a bill to per- mit severance of marital ties by mutual consent. Mr. Beggs, a Progressive, serving his sixth term in the Wisconsin Leg- islature, said the bill would permit divorce without proof of grounds ordinarily required by law, Referring to the necessity of proving cruelty, misconduct, deser- tion or other allegations under pres. ent divorce laws, Mr, Beggs said: "This plan will do away with.a lot of false testimony, and it will mean less expense." . Proponents of the measure con- tended it was not designed to make Wisconsin a competitor for divorce business, and that non-residents de: siring quick divorces without the customary - recriminations of a di vorce suit would find no solace in - English the bill. At least three vears' resi- dence in the state would Lte re- quired, Couples eligible for a "mutual consent" divorce under terms of the bill must reside in the state for two years continuously before filing a notice of their intentions.

His official life ig the af- fair of the people, but he draws the" shades in his humble abode. School teachers are forbidden to point out his children to visitors. « 2 Stalin lives with his children in a little flat in the. Kremlin. It con- sists of a tiny hall, three bedrooms and a dining-room. There is no kit- chen; meals are sent in fronr a res- taurant. The elder son sleeps on a couch in the dining-room, his half- brother in a recess off the dining: room. There are no frills of any sort. The dictator {s said to be a most affectionate father and his eight-year- old motherless daughter is one of the chief comrades of his private life. Fre- quently they are scen at the movies. In 1932 when his second wife died very suddenly, the cause of death was not published, with the inevitable re- sult that mystery became attached to it. One rumor was that she had died from poison intended for her husband [and accidentally diverted to her. Stalin remalned stonily silent in his grief. The poison story still persists in many places abroad, but it is re- ported authoritatively that Madame Stalin died after an operation for appendicitis. Ie married twice. He has a grown son, Jasheka, by the first marriage. After divorcing his first wife, Stalin married a 17-year-old Georgian girl, Madya Allilueva, in 1919.
