A Work that Promises W.u. ? * ? * '*?-. * ? * ? * e ? * o * * ; * ?* ' <> The extension of farm demonstra tion by the National Department of Agriculture to the teaching of garden ing in the cotton mill villages seems full of excellent promise. In a few of the mill villages the exertions of the presidents and other officers have already brought about admirable im provement in the appearance of the villages and have contributed greatly to the health and contentment of the \ lllagcrs. The cotton mill workers probably know as much about gardening now as do the lawyers, carpenters, bank ers, and editors, and the teaching of trard.'nlng would benefit everybody. That a space no larger than a bull's' hide wii1 cover imy be made to pro-! dice bow,-is and vegetables in 'inan tltlos worth while is a fact that to the average man, wh ?ther be dwells in a cotton mill village or on an es tato, requires demonstration When the cotton mill villagers are shown horn they may convert 1,000 square feet now as hard as a threshing floor in* . a kitchen pardon vlc.'dlng beans an ! potatoes, tomatoes and other ?truck" sufficient to supply their tables and. by the same effort, make their homes attractive to the eye numbers of them will gladly essay to do it.

Indeed, many owners of. homes outside of the mill villages will be disposed to envy the cotton mill people the teaching that he will givo them.?The State. Where the Lilies (irow.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY Old Vandcrbilt Rule That Is Being Discarded. Commodore's Advloe Was Against tho Investment of Money In Real Estate Because Sale May Be Slack. By E. J. EDWARD8. "After Commodore Vanderbilt lind become very prominent as a railroad organizer and a financier, he, of course, was constantly sought after for advice and counsel respecting In vestments by those who felt on suffl cent terms of friendship with him," said Senator Chauncey M. Dopew, whose business connections with tlie Vanderbilt interests date hack to the days of the commodore. "But, no mat ter how Btrongly he was importune.!, the commodore never gave any spe cific advice as to the Investment ol sums of money. He was never willing to take that responsibility. I think he felt that If he recommended cer tain Investments nud they turned out badly ho would be criticized. Further more, he made It an Inflexible rule not even by so much as a hint to advise any one to buy securities of the rail road properties which he controlled. I mean by that he was unwilling to infiuenco any of his friends In such a manner as would lead them to Invest their money In Vanderbilt stocks or bonds. If they chose to do that of their own free will and acci rd In tho open market and without any urging on his part, that was another matter. "Some of the appeals that were made to the commodore for financial counsel were comical and greatly amused him. It was in reply to one such appeal that he made the epi grammatic answer which has passed Into tradition: 'The first thousand dol lars is the hardest to get.' And It was another appeal which brought from him the terse statement that it is ( asier to make a fortune than it is to keep one after it has been made. "There was one persistent frlond, and a good one, too, who was con stantly asking tho commodore for gen eral advice respecting the In vestment of money. Even that the commodore did not like much to giv.; but at in >t he said to the tempter: I will give you the best advice that I can If you will call upon me in the course of a day or two, and I hope you will heed it after I have given It to you.' "Of course, the man wan greatly |)l< ased to think that he had at last broken down the commodore's reserve ?that he was finally to be taken into the confidence of an expert in finan cial Investment. You may be BUre he was In the seventh heaven 01" delight during the Interim, and with shining expectancy he appeared before the commodore at the appointed time. " You want to know my advice about investing money, do you?' the commodore drawled. 'Well, sonny, I will give It to you In a few words, and 1 hope you will heed It. In the first plac, never buy anything that can't sell right off and with a fa!r chance of selling at a profit. And In tho sec ond place, never invest your money in real estate, because you can't tell whether you can sell right off or not. That's the best advice I can give you, and I wonder If you'll follow It?" "It was advice that tho commodore's sons and his grandsons followed re ligiously," continued Senator Depew. "Indeed, the Vanderbilt family, up to and including the third generation, never bought real r stato for Invest ment." And the senator might have added that today this Vanderbilt rule is being strikingly broken In Now York by Alfred, of the fourth /.em ra tion, who is Investing several millions ot* dollars In n hotel enterprise (Copyright, IfdO, by I?, J.
