The most practical use for old

In making them one should pur-;
chase large flare wire baskets the
larger the better in order to provide
sufficient earth to the grooving plants.

Trailing ferns, red geraniums and

: TO SERVE "GREENS" :
: . IX SPRINGTIME :
: It is the season of spring "greens."
The winter vegetables are going
and the summer crop has not yet
come, so the greens form a welcome
interlude. .
A good way. to cook it. is to drop'
it into a hot kettle with no water ex
cept that remaining on the leaves af
ter washing. Cover tightly and steam
for 20 minutes.
In this way all the flavor of the
greens is retained. ' '
Many of the best greens are wild
plants. . ' v
Dandelion; lettuce and wild must
ard, cress, sorrel plantain and nar
row dock are all good.1 -
Young cabbage, kale and collard
are very good for one, and dandelion
greens are considerej-ajjicularty,
healthful in the spring; .

BELTS AND TIES OF
LEATHER AND KID.
Charming belts and .ties of leather
and ki-d are shown in inmost all the
needlework shops, in all colors and
in all sizes. The ties are merely made
into bows that pin to the stiff collar,
while the belts are straight pieces of
ktd, which may be used with any
buckle, and are, therefore, just as
convenient as belting, and wear a
much longer time.
When soiled, both .belts and ties
may toe cleaned in gasoline, and they
will-come out just as good as new.
The sets are particularly effective in
white kid, and they go most beauti;
fully with a white linen frock.
USE BRUSH ON NAILS
When polishing finger nails one
will save time and meet with more
satisfaction if the nail polisher is ap
plied with a very soft brush. It
does the work more quickly and it
reaches into crevices where the cha
mois burnisher does not. - After ap
plying powder with the brush use the
chamois to polish.

MAJOR STEDMAN
IS SUGGESTED
Friends Urge His Appointment to the
Supreme Court Bench to Succeed
Judge Connor The Appointment
Causes Mixed Emotions in Greens
boro. Greensboro, May 11.
The appointment of Judge H. G.
Connor as judge of the United States
Courts in the eastern district of North
Carolina is a fruitful topic of con
versation among all classes of people
,in Greensboro. While no one disputes
the fitness of Judge Connor for the
office, the news of his appointment
was received by Republicans here
with feelings of mixed emotions. A
few of the "high, privates in the rear
ranks" swear they will never again
vote for Mr. Taft, but several leading
Republicans have, expressed 'the opin
ion that, the appointment will event
ually redound to the good of the par
ty. V
Much interest is manifested nere m
the selection of a successor 'to Judge
Connor' on the Supreme Court bench.
The friends of Maj. Charles' M. Sted
man in Greensboro and elsewhere are
convinced that this learned and pol
ished member . of the legal fraternity
would adorn the position, and it is
not" improbable that his name wijl be
presented to Governor Kltchin. Major
Stedman admitted to The -Observer
correspondent. this 'afternoon that he
has received letters and . telegrams
from a number of his friends urging
that he permit the use. of . his name,
and while appreciating .this expres
sion of confidence and good will, he
said he was not in position to say
that he could accept the appointment,
even if it were tendered to -him. "1
owe a duty to the members of my
family and others, and it is a question
if this drty is not paramount to the
honor that attaches to a position on
the Supreme Court bench," said
Major Stedman. ,
It is rumored here that Mr. A. E.
Holton, of Winston-Salem, United
States district attorney for the west
ern district of North Carolina,, who
is slated for decapitation at the hands
of the Taft administration, aspires to
be the Republican candidate for Con
gress in the fifth district next year,
provided Congressman Morehead
sticks to his determination not to
stand for a re-nomination. Mr. Hol
;ton is not without experience as a
candidate for Congress, having , been
the Republican candidate - against

bury, about 20 years ago.

to the rescue -Strange- to say no
harm was done, ' except a scratch or
two -on the horse, which when . once
