Mr. Wilson's Constructive Policies.
Ole banker made this concise con
parse between the attitudes of Roose-
welt and Of v ilson toward Wall Street:
Roosevelt attackedebusiness with
club; Wilson waves the olive branch.
Roosevelt assaulted the nerves; Wilson
appeals to tie heart and conscience. +"

President Wilson knows that the
measure hi tory will make of his Ad.
ministratlon will be based On whether
times are good or bad. He realizes too
that presidents are most popular when
their country is prosperous. Therefore
he will not wish to do anything to
shake confidence, overthrow business
and drive legitimate enterprise to
cover"
Summed up, the dominating impress
sion in Wall Street of the President
attitude toward business would be
something like the following:
"Peace, and not war; friendly con-
Citation instead of hostile antagonism;
constructive program that will elm,
mate uncertainty about the law ard

be soon after they begin to crowd each
other, the plants should be- hardened
off" That is, they should become
gradually accustomed to the effect of
sun and wind SO that the check of
transplanting to the field will be re-
duced. To do this the amount of ven
tilation given should be increased
gradually until the frames can be left
uncovered during the entire day and
upon warm nights The amount of
water given should be just enough to
keep the plants from willing.
just previous to transplanting to the
open ground, the soil containing the
plants should be thoroughly soaked,
SO that in lifting them, portion of the
soil will adhere to the roots. The soil
in the garden should be prepared to
receive the plants SO that the trans
planting may be quickly done. 1t is
best to choose cloudy day for this,
or one when rain seems likely to come
soon If in dry time, it is best to set
the plants In the late afternoon. The
soil should be compacted about the
roots Of the plants when set and left
loose on the surface to prevent the es-
cape Of moisture.
Plants properly cared for in the
seed bed, well hardened off and care
fully transplanted will receive little
or no check in their growth, and will
mature in from two to four weeks ear
lier than If seed were sown in. the
open. By all means make hot-bed or
cold frame so that you can SOW your
seed from the first to the middle OF

How, then, do able and far-sighted
men of such type regard President
Wilson?
''They look upon him as high

of extraordinary industry.of wonder
full capacity for accomplishment. of
great political sagacity, Of a bad habit
of sometimes closing his mind on a
question before he has received all the
chief facts bearing upon that question;
Tut of such intelligence and capacity
for educating himself that id the long
run he is likely to correct his own seri-
GUS blunders, land on his feet and give
the country an excellent administra-
ton.

qualities that | have just enumerated

The early fly is here; you see him
buzzing near; SO take your stand with
club in hand, and soak him in the
ear. The early flies are worst of all the
breed accursed for they'll give rise to
countless flies which cannot be dis
persed. One active April fly unless
you make it die, will bring a slew,
your meat to chew, and spoil the
milk and pie. So, like the Maid OF
Arc, arise in helm and sark, and swat
the flies between the eyes, from day
light until dark. Thus serve your ma
tive land, a swatter in your hand, and
then your name in Hall of Famo, on
sculp,urrd stone will stand. There is
no bette. plan TO help your fellow man ;
peril dies with dying flies, so swat
them while you can. Just so you kill
the brutes, the method little boots ;
one takes his AK and breaks their
backs, one takes his gun and shoots.
l know an earnest gink who drwns his
flies in INK; some fellows boil their
files in oil, a first-rate scheme, ! think.
But any plan will do, just SO you kill a
few, each passing day, SO slay and slay,
with purpose high and true. Walt

Conference Title May
Be Determined Today

CHICAGO. oct. 24.-Football eyes of
the Middle West today are centered on
three big struggles. two of which will
have direct bearing on the western
conference championship.
Chicago meets the sturdy Purdue
eleven in what promises to be the
toughest scrap on the day's card, the
Indiana squad having held Wisconsin
to a li-7 score ono week ago. The
Boilermakers arrived during the fore
noon in a STEADY downpour Of rain, and
the chances were that the best mud
ders would win this afternoons battle
on StaGg Field.
Minnesota will engage with Iowa. and
Iowas great showing against Chicago
makes it appear quite possible that
the Hawkeyes NAV down the Gophers
and eliminate them from the confer
ence race. At Lincoln, Nebraska, and
the Michigan Agg!es. both claimants
of the western title IN 1913, are hooked
up in what looked like an even
battle.
Wisconsin was picked to win easily
over Ohio state at Columbus, and
illinois counted on taking this after
moons game from Northwestern with
out using her first string men. Notre
Dame anticipated no trouble with the
South Dakota University eleven.
