A motion was made to ask for Miss

Mrs. Leslie Zenip then gave in her

A Fine Garden.
It sounds queer to sjK'ttk of a fine
vegetable garden in Camden as the
almost unprecedented dry sj>ell 111 the
early spring made Hardens almost a
a total failure here. But there Is at
least one tine garden In Camden, rtnd
that one Is Mr. W. 10. Johnson's in
Kirk wood. A rei>orter for The Chroni
cle saw Mr. Johnson's garden one af
ternoon this weeX and the sight was
truly refreshing/ Irish potatoes, can
talouiH's, corn, tomatoes, egg plants,
beans, etc.. are -growing as luxuriantly
ax. though there had not Ween a single
day's drouth, and naturally makes one
wonder how it all came about. The
secret of the matter js Mr. Johnson
used water In abundance during the
three months we were without rain.
The cost of the water, of course, was
an item but nothing compared to the
luxury of having nice, fresh, home
raised vegetables. Mr. Johnson has
been having rlixi tomatoes ever since
the 5th of June. If you would like
to s?*e a tine garden you should make
a special effort to see Mr. Johnson's.

"No other territory lu t lie British

Islands, oft whose shores the most ills

Karl KlUhener. lost his life, when (lie

' These Islands, ninety in nuiuU'r. of
which only thirty are Inhabited, are
separated from tlie nnilnhiml of Scot
land by the Pcntlaud Firth. from six
ami a half to eight miles whle. They
were selected as Kngla lid's North Sim
naval base not only on nceouftt of
their proximity to the Held of opera
t ions, hnt on aci*ouut of their seml
Isolatlon and the advantages of the
sii|>erh harbor of Stroinness, In the
largest island of the group, romona.
which has an area ">f two hundred
square miles.
"The aggregate area of the Orkney
archi|>elago Is a little more than tlve
times as large as the District of t\?
luuihia, and the population Is In the
uelgliborluxHl of 30.000, more than half
the people living on Pomona, Kirk
wall, the capital litis a population of
4,000.
"Willie the original inhabitant* of
the islands were Plcts, whose round
towers and cluunbered mounds are
aulorig the interesting ruins of this
region, the Nurse pirates smiriMl a
foothold here during the early cen
t urles of the Christian era, and car
ried on their depredations against all
navigators of the North Sea. In the
last quarter of the ninth century Har
old Haarfagr ('Fair Hair4) put an
end to the rule of the pirates, and
added both the Orkneys and the Shet
land Islands to Norway's domain. In
14(18 the Orkneys came under the sway
of the Scottish crowli, Christian I of
!>emnnrk, giving theni as security for
his daughter's dowry when she became j
the bride of James III. As the dowry
was never paid the islands have re
mained a part of Scotland's domain
ever since. ' *

Cromwell alone excepted.
* ''Although in the same latitude us
northern Labrador, the Orkney group
enjoys a comparatively mild climate*
owing to the warm waters of the <Julf
Stream. There is little show in win
ter and the summers are most pleas
ant. beginning the middle of June.
Parley, oats, potatoes and turnips are
the principal crops. The raising of
cattle and sheep and horses of a
larger breed than the famous Shet
land |M?niex. is a profitable occupa
tion. Herring fisheries aft'onl^a--tive

while a small percentage of the peo

wild birds ami gathering their eggs.
The plcturesquenes* of the rocky coasts
and the beauty - of the long twilight
evenings attract a considerable num
ber of tourists to the islamls during
the summer.- On the longest day 'of
the year the sun rises at three a. in.
and sets' after nine f|i the evening,
