In Your Garden Bv GORDON L. SMITH >>t>>»*>»a»»»»i The old idea of planting all the vegetable seed in one afternoon is a hang-over from pioneer days when botli seasons and time were limited. Only a few vegetables were grown in the early days. Seedsmen did not have the variety to offer, and the average man regarded the gar- den as part of the farm where one cro.i v.as -ihnut all that could he ex- pected. No Excuse For Runnins Out But all is changed now. Experts point out that there ia no excuse for running out of lettuce early in tl:p Summer, for example, when af: I- the season for the leaf variety hoai! lettuce could be grown, and then during the hot weather tne Co ; type.. The lattei is a compact, conical- fli^iped type which defies the heat. Li';e the head variety, it should he s'j.u ted fairly early, probably a week or two after the first leaf lettuce is so^i-n. And this range of variety runs through almost all vegetable classes. There are early, medium and late corn, peas, beets and scores of other vegetables. Tlicre are differ- ent sizes and shapes to suit various uses, such as salad material, pickl- ing, canning, etc. Easily Grown Flowers .'V brilliant garden of flowers, even the kind that the neighbors will re- gard with envy, is not a difficult creation. True, there are sKime 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, mari- gols, alyssum, calliopsis, batchelor buttons, calendulas and portulaca. /^. Editor Recalls His Sc!too1 Teacher .1. W. Curran in the Sault Ste.

Teskey. aged 91, one of those rare souls who in- s^i.e. Nearly all of this column's I'U.lic school days were passed un- ci', :â-  hi? tutelage. And looking back on those days the writer knows of no other man who had such an in- II : nee on his whole life. Always ii'i'.:^ to his finger tips, exercising a stria discipline tempered with .Sj.Did sense jyid good natire, he s^ ;i;3d to regard a let down in the inttrent of his pupils as a reflection on his own ability as a teacher. H • always addressed his pupils with gr.iVQ courtesy. On Friday afternoons his pupils wi ,e encouraged to read aloud a p(!i-m, a newspaper clipping or a frag- ni. nt that appealed to them.

Fcrty-six years after school closed Mr. Teskey had "compositions" of his old boys and girls treasured in hit home, and we spent an afternoon t: riling the leaves of the big scrap books, in which were old school programs, clippings from newspapers and other mementoes of the children he had loved and whose caueers had been a never-ending source of inter- e.st to him. Then occasionally he would write, just .show us ho hadn't for.ijotteu. Fifteen years ago they had an Old Ho;nu 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 tha sums that had been given the last day the school had been openâ€" 4G years before. We sat around on planks supported on chairs, though many couldn't (Ind a seat. The "School" had been call- ed at Oo'clock by Mr. Teskey using a hammer on a piece of old school bell that Mayor Frost had fouud. It wasn't expected that more than 25 would turn up and 'hat the spssion GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules Fine for Weak Acid Kidneys and Bladder Irritation STOP GETTING UP NIGHTS One 40-cent box of these famous capsules â- will put healthy activity into your kidneys and bladderâ€" flush out harmful waste poisons and acid and prove to you that at last you have a grand diuretic and stimulant that will Bwiftly cause these troubles to cease.

But at 1,30 when the writer had to leave he was one of the first to depart. Spee- ches, of course, and things that pluck- ed a little at the heart strings. A wholesale merchant of Minneap- olis recognized a speaker by 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 '.ong ago, and some of them made teacher's eyes wet. When one of them spoke of a strapping he had got, Mr. Teskey said with great feel- ing: "I'm sorry." Then they gave him a chair and a purse and told him 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 cJiaracter, But there must be lots more of his calibre serving the hoys and girls of today, and the school boards which are for- tunate enough to have thejjj, 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 board might feel a little dif- ferent about showing a real appreci- ation of his services. ^ •••m»»mu«n9%, Smiles and Chuckles >•>••â- â€¢ 9 t m % m t -i/ A woman using rouge reminds one of a fellow using intoxicating liquor â€" the longer they use it the more they take. â€" â€" The prisoner was being tried for stealing a pig, and a conscientious witness, to whom the accused was said to have confided, was being e.K- amined.

Under a new idea, aimed at forging an un- derstanding link between students and the British mercantile marine, 400 schools have "adopted" liners, freighters, colliei-s and even tramps. As each port is reached officers despatch long informative letters of adventure and general interest and graphic photographs of sea-sweut decks and scenes in foreign ports to the schools. In return they re- ceive accounts of the last school pla.v, hemstitched hankies, cakes, books, magazines and pictures of the school football team. "We are doing voluntarily what Hitler is now seeking to do by com- pulsion," declares S. E. Britlon, sec- I'etary of the British Ship .Adoption Society. "This form of liaison be- tween school and .ship is now insisted upon in (jcrniany.'' Dealing With the Soil Problems Tievenlion usually is better than cure, and especially so in dealing wih soil problems. An intcrestiii,i; example of the depletion of plant food is found on many pastures. For many years no fertilizer was needed to produce profitable pasturage. To- day plant food must be added, for most of it has been marketed through cattle. -A. 1,000-pound animal car- ries the e<|uivalent of a 100-pound bag of II) per cent superphosphate in its hones. A dairy cow giving 20 pounds of milk per day will lake out of the soil in one season tho eiiuiv- alcnt of 15 to 20 pounds of nitro- gen, 45 to 50 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 45 to 50 pounds of potash. This depletion of plant food brings about a change in the vegetation of the iiasture. Bridegroom of 76 Has Divorce Plan MADISO.V, Wis.â€" A.ssemblynian Charles A. Bc.ggs, 7l)-year-old recent bridegroom, intent on eliminating false testimony and cutting costs of divorces, has proffered a bill to per- mit .â- severance of marital ties by mutual consent. Mr. Beggs, a Progressive, serving his si.xtli term in the Wisconsin Leg- islature, said the bill would permit divorce without proof of grounds ordinarily reiiuired by law. Kefening to tho necessity of proving cruelty, misconduct, deser- tion or other allegations under pres- ent divorce laws, Mr. .Beggs said: "This ))lan will do away with a lol 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 And no solace in the bill. .At least three years' resU; dence in the state would be re«> (|uired. Couples eligible for a "mutual, consent" divorce under terms of th*i bill must reside in the state for two; years continuously before filing •; notice of their intentions. A ycaf- later they must file proof of separ*- ation for the preceding 12 months*, and that they have no unmarrieiN children under the age of 16. The bill permits stipulation of di» vision of estate, alimony or provl*-' sion for support of children.
