In order to spread information as
widely as possible, the University of
Minnesota gave course of six lee
lures as part Of its extension course
at the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton headquarters These were thor
oughly practical, relating to soil prep
aration, seed planting, cultivation,
weeds and so forth. One supervisor
and six assistants, all young rnen from
the farm school Of the agricultural col
lege, were employed to supervise. The
superintendent received 500 per
month, the assistants $50. These sal
aries were not all borne by the Garden
Club, as the board Of education shared
in the expense. They gave all of their
time to the work, patrolling their dis
tricts each day. Prizes amounting to
1886 in cash, silver cup, green cop
per cups, and 200 perennial plants
were donated by business men and
newspapers. The following schem

This was not so in Minneapolis. Civic
pride aroused all classe of society. A
rough estimate is given by the presi-
dent of the club that there we're so
home gardens to every vacant.lot gar
den controlled by the club, in sll about
$4,000 home gardens.
The city celebrated cleanup day"
and a flower day, on which planting
was done throughout the city. Mas
turtiums had been selected as the city
flower for the year, so nasturtium
seed was the most popular for plant
ing that day. 1t is proposed in Mime
apolis to have the children vote for a
city flower each year and through the
efforts of the press have the children's
choice planted everywhere. This is
an idea worthy Of consider alton by
other cities.

Home gardens were encouraged. To
insure the aid of parents the above

there were 1,400 home gardens in
1911. Twenty-Five thousand packages
of nasturtium seeds were distributed
in the second to fifth grades, inclu-
sive, of both public and parochial
schools.

No greater compliment was
ever paid a local candidate than
the one received by Judge Rollin
Hurt from the Democrats of
Adair county, where he was born
and reared, land where he has
actively engaged in the practice
of law for more than thirty years.
AS a candidate. for the nomina-
ton for Appellate Judge out of
thirteen hundred Democratic
votes cast in Adair county, he
lost twenty-eight. When you
take into consideration that Judge
Hurt hassbeen, some years ago,
County Attorney, making it his
duty to prosecute, and since the
close of his term for that office,
has been on one side of every
important case tried in Adair,
is it not remarkable that he did
not incense more of his fellow
men? Is it not an evidence that
he. does clean work, having the
full confidence of his fellow citi-
zens? We want to see Adail
county at the coming election
cast more votes for him than was
ever recorded for any one man.

The last month before the
election is about starting, and
we again warn the Democrats of
Adair and adjoining counties not
to become too sanguine and lose
interest in the various races.
Apathy upon the part of friends
often loses an election. 1t is the
party that works all the time
like it had strong opposition that
most generally wins at the polls.
When candidates :. and their
friends fight from the rising of
the sun to Ethe setting thereof,
they are invariably successful on
the day offthe election. In vot-
ing for Gov.isBeckham, Senator
Camden and:Congressman Helm
you vote to indorse the admins
tration ofiWoodrow Wilson, the
greatest::President that was ever
inaugurated, the:man who is in
favor of peace, and who has
done and is doing now every
thing in hisspower to keep the
Uniteds..StatesEo on good terms
with:all nations of the world, a
man whose administration is
meeting the requirements of this
country's needs. the man who
has said to thesmoney kings, you
can start financial panic in
New York, ssbut you can not in
the country-that.he would see
that the banks out in the States
were furnished with sufficient
money to meet local demands.
He stands for the country, and
wants to sect her grow in agri-
culture, manufacture and in all
other industries at as little ex-
pense as possible to the tax-pay-
ers of the nation. We hear only
praise of his administration from
all lovers of good government,
and there is scarcely a doubt but
he will succeed himself as Presi-
dent of the United States.

There caninotlbe a doubt con-
corning the efforton.the part of

ers through diplomatic channels.
and so far it has succeeded in
avoiding serious trouble. But
the war spirit throughout the
world is now::aroused and more
than likely this government can
not play the roll of the Good Sa-
marian much longer. There
seems to be no end to Mexico's
troubles, and every movement
points to a I counter rebellion
against the Caranza government
on the part ofiGen. Villa and his
followers. Should such a war
open up it is likely that our gov
eminent would be compelled to
intervene. Should such a step
be taken it would mean fight and
and fight to the finish. In the
meantime evidence exists that
Japan wants to measure arms
with the United States, and it is
the opinion of.amany well in
formed on the situation, that we
are approaching trouble with
that country, not because of real
harm done Japan, but of racial
feeling manifested in the Califor-
lia Alien land laws, and the de-
sire of Japan to more firmly es-
tablish her claim as one of the
great powers. Come what may,
be the cost heavy as this country
is able to bear, Japan had better
live within the bounds of peace
with Uncle Sam, for Americans
would rise in full power to smite
the yellow peril" On the
part of Mexico the feeling is
quite of a different character,
but if war can not be avoided. if
