costs $40 or more the minimum price for a suit or over

Snow and Cold No Bar
To Growing Vegetables
(F
liaise a winter ar (arden.
Just becauae atiow and cold are com
ing ih no reaaon why growing; of vege
tables should ceaae. One Memphis busi
ness man has solved the problem of
winter vegetables.
On a lot in North Memphis Is a space
II feet square, solidly covered with
glass. Old windows did the trick. They
are placed over a hole In the ground
four feet deep. The hole waa once the
beginning of a eellur In that hole, no
matter what the temperature outsMe,
you will find onlona, radishes, beans,
tomatoes, pursnips. turnips, In fact al
most any kind of vegetable that does
not grow too high.
Of course a coating of window glass
would not keep out the cold and enable
cge(ab!es tO grow all winter, but here's
the secret A wall of boards has been
built Inside the old cellar, leaving a
spare of six Inches between it and the
earthen wall. That space Is filled with
cottonseed hulls. The hulls generate
enough heat to keep the winter garden
warm. In fnct the gardener frequently
has to let the cold winter air Into the
cellar to keep the vegetables from burn
ing Tho Idea of this winter garden dates
back to the boyhood of the gardener
When only a youngster hla father one
winter bought a supply of cottonseed
to feed the family cow. The boy in
vaded bossy's pantry and buried him
self in the cottonseed. He declares
thai he nearly burned to death before
he could escape from the cow's larder
That youthful recollertion, coupled with
the sight of the half-comnleted cellar
generated the idea of the winter gar-
urn.
nut me winter garden Wan is not
the only gardening innovation for which
mis man is lespnustbie.
Here's one that combines profit and
beauty.
By taking an old barrel and boring
It full of holes, six inches apart, punc
turing a stovepipe with a series of holes,
placing the stovepipe in the barrel, fill
ing the barrel with earth and the stove
pipe with manure, one has the frame
work for an aerial strawberry garden.
Strawberry plants are placed In the
holes, and, through filling the stove
pipe with water, the plants are given
moisture. The result is complete cov
ering of the barret with green straw
berry plants and the hearing of delici
ous berries Four such barrels during
the summer supplied the gardener's
family of four with berries the entire
season.
Here is another stunt this gardener
suggests for agriculturalists.
When readv to stack hay, sprinkle
the ground with rut potatoes and stack
the hay on top of them The potatoes
will grow under the haystack and
throughout the winter all that Is neces
sary Is to burrow under the hay pile,
find a potato vino and drag out the
tubers.
What's the use of relying on the
vegetable man?

Express Quiet Satisfaction
at Firmness of Note to
Germany.
LONDON. Oct. 25 The popular com
ment on the president's note here Is
that It contains the strongest language
ever addressed by the head of one great
nation to another In modern times. The
note Is welcomed, first, becauae It
brings matters to a new state; further
proceeding, if there are to be further
proceedings, will be in the hands of
all the governments Interested. Illth
erto, so far as the public knows, t!ie
nations associated with the t'uited
states, and which have more at stake
perhaps than has the I'nlted States,
have been onlookers to the correspond
ence. The note Is welcomed, secondly, he
cause It promises to bring the season
of discussion to an end altogether, one
way or the other. No one sees how
the German chancellor, Prince Maxi
milian, can fail either to accept Presi
dent Wilson's platform or reject It. Ac
ceptance will be taken to mean that
the Hermans regard their position as
ItO pa IsSS and that disaster Is imminent
Hope for Division.
The general opinion Is that Germain s
lilltary position Is not so bad but
oat her leaders will fight on, If only
vlth the hope of creating division
niong the allies, which has been lier
aany's reliance of late.
The text of President Wilson's reply
o Oermany, which reached London In
ihc early hours Thursday morning, is
given great prominence In the evening
newspapers, which uuote with satls-
j faction his decision to refer the ques
tion or an armistice to the allies anil
his Insistence that the only armlstli e
must he one which will make a re
newal of hostilities on the part of Oer
many Impossible.
The t'.iolie. which would havtSpre
ferrcd that the president had declined
to make any reply, says, however, that
his note "is quite uncompromising and
altogether admirable.''
The Westminster liatette Hays:
"Whether the Herman government ac
cepts this piopoltlon for an armistice
will depend on Its cstlmale of its mili
tary and Internal situation and upon
nothing else. All democratic, nations
will be grateful to the president for
having forcibly projected the issue be
tween free peoples and military des
potism into the foreground i ibis stage
of the war. But let It be said again
that the choice, rests with the Herman
people. It Is for them and not for tin
to say how they shall be ruled. All that
wo can say Is that Hccordlugh' as they
choose, so we must act. And that is
the president's Isst Word. W can ne
gotiate with a free people, hut we must
demand surrender from a military autocracy."

PARIS SEES HOPE.
PARIS, Oct. H, President Wilson's
reply to Oermany was published by the
newspapers here In Knglish as well as
In a French translation at the request
of the authorities.
La Liberie says that If Oermany gives
guarantees as demanded by Die presi
dent It will be materially impossible
for her to continue the war.
"Kvcrv thing Is now In the hands of
the military, says the Temps. "The
reply has moved the problem from the
domain pf controversy to tin domain of

portance to the essential Ides that an
armistice must make It impossible for
Hermany to resume the war that he ex

The official comment to Ihe Asso
dated l'reaa on President Wilson's re
Tta Wended ul Call
ply to Germany can be summarised as
followa:
"President Wilson's answer resolves
the whole thing Into a military ques
tion that can be decided by Foch, llalg
and Pershing.
"The situation, however, Is virtually
unchanged, though the exchange of
notes hBS given an insight into affairs
in Hermany ami has perhaps hastened
hei Internal reforms. The next answer
will have to be a military answer from
her inllltsrv authorities.
"The French people feel that the
uin st ion of the internal government of
Hermany Is not so Important as an as
surance against a recurrence of Ger
many's militaristic policies, which pre
cipitated the war.
"We do not know how sincere Oer
many is ahnut her International reforms.
We "have reason to doubt the sincerity
of her aims In this direction. The
great thing for us Is to make sure that
things shall not again be 111 the same
position as before the war.
"An armistice Is almost Impossible,
as the conditions would he so unimagin
ably drastic. An armistice would be
full of danger if not guarded by all

The teellhg prevails in general among
French officials that the latest note
