Secretary of War Dickinson delivers
a timely rebuke to those press and
platform alarmists who are not happy
unless they are stimulating war scares.
This country" says the secretary, is
at peace with all the world and will re.
main so-relying on the adjustment OF
international differences by arbitra-
ton" He believes it is unfortunate for
our country and, for the peace OF the
world that "a disposition is shown by
those who are reckless Of the general
welfare of mankind to stimulate, by
false statements and evil suggestions,
distrust and jealousies between ma
lions. Such things have in former
times brought on wars, but I believe
that there is a stronger corrective
now, in public opinion, of such infu-
ences than has ever hitherto existed.
and that they will be impotent now
where hitherto they might have been
effective"

WHAT TO PLANT NOW.

DR.. Chapel, the head of the Iowa
weather bureau believes that little
advice to amateur. gardeners right at
the beginning of spring may save
some disappointment, so he gives 9
list of the things it Is safe to plant
now, and those that should be held
until later in the spring, together with
some information about late frosts.
Dr. Chapel advises gardeners to plant
only the hardy varieties of seed at
this time. He names radishes, let
tuce, onions, cabbage, caulifower and
beets among these. Should cold
spell happen along they could be COW
erred up with blankets without injury.
He warns against planting anything
that grows on vines, or any semi.
tropical vegetables because Of the
danger of their being killed before
summer sets in.
DR.. Chapel says his records show
that killing frosts have occurred dur
ing the month of April in every year
since the weather bureau was estab.
lished. The average date Of the last
killing frost is April %. Last year
there was heavy frost on the morn
ing of May 4. He gives the following
as the dates of the last killing frost
in the years mentioned:
In 1909 the last killing frost was
May 3; in 1908, May Q; in 1907, May
4; 1905, April 1; 1905, April 10; 1904,
May 81; 1903. May. 3; 1902, April %;
1901. April 20.
There is no reason, however. why
you shouldn't get out your spade and
start to work In the garden. Radishes,
lettuce, onions, cabbage, caulifower
and beets is enough garden sass for
most amateur gardeners to start with,
and the doc says you are safe In
planting this seed now II you keep q
weather eve out for late frQsts.

KEPT INSANE BOY
INATTIC 80 YEARS
WAUkEGAN WOMAN HAD STEEL
CAGE BUILT FOR. HER
SON

Chicago, March, 22-George Odett,
for thirty years bereft of reason and
locked In steel cage in the garnet OF
his mothers home near Waukegan
was shared with ropes yesterday and
taken to the insane asylum at Blgtn'
The formality OF test of his sanity
was gone through by an ex'
aiming board which sat in the garrett
while Odett, unknowing the cause OF
the gathering, shrieked at them and
ratified the bars Of his cage.
The commitment to the asylum fol
lowed the death of Odett's mother al
the age Of 81 years. For thirty years
since she obtained her sons release
from an asylum after q short incar
ceration. she has remained with him
cut of from the world, seldom leaving
the garnet, preparing his food and al
times the only person to see him fol
months.
Mother Promised to Guard Him.
A shock from a toy electric battery
at county fair at Waukegan thirty
years ago robbed young Odett Of his
reason, and he was sent to an asylum
When Mrs. Odett learned that her son
refusing food, was dying of starvation
she obtained his release on promise
to guard him and the insane man was
returned to her home.
Since that time he has been violent
and none has dared approach him
Only his mother remained night and
day on the other side Of the bars q
which his cage was made, fed him and
attempted to comfort him and sough'
to tighten the days.
The test was made at the re
quest Of Ambrose Odett, brother o.
the insane man. The prisoner was
nude during the hearing. His beard
bloodstained and matted, hung nearly
to his knees, and his face and body
bore marks of frequent struggles
against the bars Of his cell.
