American Work for Belgium

The American Commission for
Relief i'll Belgium has proved itself
the greatest possible boon to the
people of that stricken country.
Not only have they dispensed the
charity of the world for the Bel
gians yet remaining i'll their land,
but they have also handled the i'm
port and sale of food supplies to
those able to pay for them, if any
credit system could be arranged
when the currency system of the
country was entirely PROSTATE.
By purchasing in the producing
centers, by chartering its own
ships, and by volunteer supervi-
sion, it has procured supplies laid
down in Belgium at low cost, and
though selling at a profit for the
benefit of the destitute, it has been
able to keep the average price of
bread since November ten per cent
lower than it has been in London.
Though this has been done, it is
thought probable that the profits
turned toward the support of the
destitute will total six-tenths as
much as the S1O,OOO,OOO which
the world has given in charity.
The Commission is now doing for
that part of France within the
German lines what it is doing i'll
Belgium. Fall River Mass. } News

Fathers Day.

In Japan they observe a Boys
day by hanging ont carp flags and
giving the little fellows plenty of
toy soldiers; also a Girls day when
each little miss is presented with a
Japanese doll. Here is America we
have a Mothers day. Cartoonists
draw sentimental cartoons about
her; the preacher makes some
mention of home without a mother
and the tired business man, if he
thinks of it, brings home dollars
worth of cut flowers. Without
wishing unnecessarily to add to
our list of holidays, we suggest a
Father 5 day, with a program some
what as follows: Dad will be al
lowed to lie abed until 10 o clock,
reading the sporting sheet and
smoking cigarettes, after which
time a mawnin's mawnin" fol-
lowed by buckwheats and steak
will be served. The monograph
will then play What the Matter
With Father" Here Comes NV
Daddy Now" while the daughter
of the house will recite Father,
dear Father" This ceremony con-
cluded, presents will be bestowed
on father, in the following order:
Ten boxes rs cent cigars, case of
club soda, sterling silver bottle
opener, case of Scotch or rye,
sterling silver cocktail mixer, one
dozen pairs of silk hose, one smok-
ing Jacket, one humidor, one-half
doz. madeto-order shirts, one pair
slippers, annual pass to baseball
park. At 2 p. Ill. accompanied by
several cronies, he will set out for
the ball park in an automobile.
Here a double-header will be play
ed. The evening will be given over
to five cent ante, and at midnight
lunch will be served consisting
of Swiss cheese sandwiches, hot
dogs, goose-liver sausages, pate de
foie gras, rye bread and beer. The
guests will leave at 3 a. m, and

TURNIP

The turnip should be grown
both as a spring and as a fall
crop. For the spring crop,
plant as early as the condition
of the soil will permit, and
the fall crop SOW the seed in
late summer or early autumn.
Sow the seed thickly in rows
IS to Is inches apart, and as
the plants reach a height of 4
or 5 inches begin thinning,
using the young plants for
greens. For good roots thin
the plants to about 3 inches
apart in the row. Cultivate
turnips the same as carrots
and parsnips. Turnips may be
left i'll the ground until need
ed for the table, pulled and
stored in a cellar, or buried in
banks or pits.
Varieties recommended:
Purple Top Globe, White
Globe, Seven Top, White
Milan. and Yellow Aberdeen.
Rutabagas. Large quanti-
ties of rutabagas are shipped
from the Northern States
and Canada into the. Southern
States each year. While this
crop is not commonly cultivat'
ed in the South, it may be
grown as a fall and winter
crop to very good advantage.
Rutabagas are planted the
same as turnips, except that
they require more and a long
er period of growth.
The Purple Top is the most
common variety of rutabaga.

cotton cloth, but in the upper
South a hotbed should be ell
ployed. when only a few plants
are needed the seed may be
sown in 4 shallow box i'll the
house. For the best result in
growing tomatoes the young
plants should be transplanted
as soon as they reach a
height of l ID to 2 inches.
Transplant these plants to
stand 2 inches apart each way
in a hotbed, or cold frame. or
box i'll the house. When the
plants begin to crowd it is
a good plan to transplant them
to flower pots, plant bands,
old strawberry boxes, or tin
cans from which the bottoms
and tops have been melted.
Tomato plants should be
set in the open as SOON as dam
ger of frost has passed. If the
plants are to be pruned to one
or two stems and tied to stakes,
they should be set Is inches
apart in rows 3 feet apart, in
rows q feet apart. 1t is advis-
able, however, to prune and
train to stakes, especially for
the early crop, as plants so
treated will be healthier and
more easily cultivated and will
produce fruit which is earlier
and more uniform in size and
shape than that produced by
plants which have not been
trained and pruned. Soon after
setting the plants in the field
stake should be driven near
each plant, to which it may
be tied, Care should be exer-
cised to tie the plant so that
it will not be injured by the
string. A good plan is to loop
the string around the stake
and tie it under a leaf stem.
Go over the patch once every
week or ten days and remove
all shoots starting in the axis
of the leaves.

There are two types of
squashes, the bush varieties
and the running varieties.
The bush varieties should be
planted i'll hills 4 feet apart
each way and the running va
rites s to 10 feet apart each
way. Squashes are prolific,
and a supply for the average
family will ordinarily be fur
Missed by five or six hills of
each sort. Squash seed should
not be planted until after dan
ger of frost is over and the
soil is quite warm. The cul-
tivation and care of squashes
should be the same as that
given cucumbers or musk
melons.
The summer squash is pre-
pared for the table in several
ways. 1t may be boiled and
eaten with butter, salt and
pepper, or it may be parboiled
and then fried. 1t may also
be sliced without boiling,
in water with little salt, and
then fried in egg and bread
crumbs or craker crumbs, like
eggplant. Winter varieties
are stewed or steamed, to be
served with butter and salt,
or are prepared in the same
way for pie filling. They may
also be baked and served in

WALTER PRODDED BY Lynch.
Street Repairs Contractor Is Directed
to Speed UP in His Work-Says
Weather Has Interfered

Highway Commissioner Lynch last
evening sent an ultimatum to Charles
P. Walter, who has the contract to re-
pair the city's asphalt streets, direct
ing Walter to make better progress with
the work or accept the alternative of
surrendering the job and consequently
his claim to the $3.50 quarterly allow
ance yet due on his fve.year contract,
which expires on April l.
Walter received the Lynch letter late
last night and this morning told the
Commissioner that only weather con-
ditions will prevent him from going
ahead with the work. The response.
Lynch said, was satisfactory and he
added, that he "now will await re-
suits
The Highway Commissioner com,
planned that Walter was not doing the
work as speedily as he had promised
and this led Lynch to believe that the
contractor was not using his best ef-
forts to complete the job. Walter has
promised, Lynch said, to go on with the
work by tomorrow morning.
