SAYS MOTHERHOOD CANT
A ''SIN"

-
Dear Day Book:-As between DR..
Dickinson and our gracious and gen
erous-hearted Jane Whitaker and
their discussion Of Vida Hagen and
her babe, it seems to me that in spite
of the learned DR.. DickensOn's pro-
posal to give the other side Of the
case" in reality only one side has
been given, as both these ladies treat
ed but one side OF the case, each one
viewing it from her own particular
angle, but both of them tacitly en-
doTsing- our heartless social creed
that visits the sins of the parents on
Unoffending babes.
Here is the other side: According
to God, all motherhood is sacred. Ac-
cording to Nature motherhood can
not be a "sin." Then, isn't it time
we ceased using such words as I'll
legitimate" 'nameless" and has
taTd'?
Is any form of abuse more coward
" and contemplate than that which
we heap upon the head of a defense
less child which came into the world
through no VIII or Its own!
Why do so many mothers abandon
their babes to so-called charitable So
cieties?
Is our opinion of wOman's nature
so low that we can believe thousands
of them incapable Of loving their own
offspring?
No, my brothers, that is not the
reason. It is because these poor, de-
fenseIess sisters of ours shrink from
the brutality and cruelty of a prudish
civilization, which, hypOcriticaIly
calling itself Christian, has forgotten
the word of the Master whom it pre-
tends to serve, and who said that lit
tie children were ALL "Of the King
dom of Heaven" He did not say
Suffer little legitimate children to
come unto me" Sincerely,

HOW TO INSURE EARLY
VEGETABLES

Vegetable seed which should be
sown in the house the latter part of
March to transplant to the open
ground later for early vegetables.
Caulifower, Cabbage, Celery, Egg
plant, Onions, Peppers, Tomatoes.
Seed which may be sown in the
open ground as soon as the land can
be worked:
Lettuce, beets, carrots, kale, onion
seed, onion sets, radish, parsnips,
smooth peas, satisfy, spinach, Swiss
chard, turnip.
Every gardner takes special de-
light in getting some crop for use
earlier than his eighbor. There are
many ways of doing this. Plants
may be purchased from the store or
started in hotbeds or cold frames and
transplanted. One good way is to
use old berry boxes, tin cans, paste
board boxes or sod. Fill any of these
receptacles with soil or else plant the
seed in sod, and place the box in a
light window in the kitchen or living
room or on hotbed or in the cold
frame. When the weather is warm
enough, about the last of May, set the
plants in the garden. Sweet corn,
beans, cabbage, tomatoes, melons, GU
cumbers, etc., may often be started in
this way to advantage. 1t is good
way to use otherwise worthless ma
terial about the home. Tin cans may
be thrown in the fire and the tops and
bottoms melted off, leaving a strip
of tin which may be rolled into the
form of a can, tied with a cord and
filled with soil. A number Of these
cans may be set in a box and seed
planted in them. Set can and all in
to the ground. The tin may be east
ly removed when it interferes with
the growth Of the plant.
