HUBBARD TRIBUTE
BY 400 DISCIPLES
Greatest Loss Of the War,
SAYS Frank Crane at
Memorial Service.
ALWAYS READY WITH

Speakers Tell Of Authors
Frankncss and Force.

4 memorial service yesterday after
non, ~ the PLAYHOUSE was attended
by 400 Of Ebert Hubbard's disci-
plos DR.. Orison SWEET Mardcn, Hud-
son Maxim, Elizabeth Towne. Or.
Frank Crane and J. Clyde Oswald spoke
Of the loss which his death had caused
and eulogized mis- frankness and force.
The greatest loss Of the war IS b
bert Hubbard" said DR.. Crane. we
could lose every college president
every priest and pastor in the country
and their jobs could be filled again the
next day as well as they are filed now
But who could take the vacant chair
Of Ebert Hubbard?
THAT il my idea OF a king man
whose place no one can axe. Sucn
men and the ability to produce them IL
the chief merit of This country. We
can't build cathedrals like those Of
Rheims or Venice or Milan, but we can
produce Jane Addamse5 and Elder,
Hubbards and Theodore RooseveltS.
"Whonever a man rises above the
common level a certain class take
pot,hot at him. just for luck. ABOUT
such people everything Is second class
except their hatred
Elizabeth Towne emphasized the i'm
portdnt part Mrs. Hubbard played ~
lcepiug her husband in close toucn
with humanity. She also mentioned
Mr. Hubbards friendship for the SUI
fraGc cause.
During the meeting a telegram was
received from Nathan Straus. lie sara
ne could not trust himself 70 attend,
so greatly did ne feel the loss.

rotary. read letter from Miss Marion
Hubbard.
Musical numbers were provided by
David Bispham and Aldo Randegger.
Mr.. Bispham sang Crossing the Bar

At the close of the service Or. Mar
den suggested that a tablet be raised
to the memory of Mr. and Mrs. HUB
bard. and asked that contributions pc
sent to Philip Goodman, chairman OF
the memorial committee.
Mr.. Maxim said that Mr.. Hubbard
stood far i'm advance of the world and
pulled il after him. Ii will be a long
Mr.. Hubb .rd was always ready with
his shafts of wit" he continued, and
vet he always launched them kindly,
and he did what they who sank the
Lusitania did not do-he gave warn
ing, and he torpedoed none but bel
ligerents."
Here Mr. Maxim launched into an at
tack against wars of aggression, de-
claring that from the sneak thief who
steals your coat from the hall, from
the gunman of New York TO the robber
kaiser or king, from the lowest TO the
highest of the professors of plumber
and murder. there is no line of de-
marcation They are all enemies Of
society, enemies of civilization.
Let US arm to fight against wars Of
aggression. Those who so arm arm
against war those who arm for wars
of aggression arm for war. Let US learn
that warning human nature has not
changed since Attila. There have been
acts in the present war of such cruelty
as TO make the shade Of old AttIla
grow green with envy
reference to Albert of the Bel
gians as a man making righteous war
was heartily applauded.

How To Prepare a HOtbed

Collect unheated manure from the
horse barns and mix with the pure
manure an equal amount OF straw that
has been used for bedding. Fork this
we well and pile in a heap and let
stand for about two days. II it does
not start to heat in this time moisten
the entire pile with warm water.
Prepare a pit for the manure bed.
This should be located on the south
side OF building with a good exposure
to the sun. The pit should be about
two feet deep, not over six feet wide
and as long as desired. 1t is preferable
10 have the long measure east and
west. AS soon as the manure has
started to heat well, it should be placed
in the pit and carefully tramped. This
is the best method Of packing the ma
nure evenly in all parts OF the bed. II
it seems dry add enough water to
dampen, but do not apply enough TO
saturate the bed. Let the bed stand
until il is heating well thruout, then
cover with five or six inches Of good
garden loan. Let this stand for three
or four days and then work down the
surface with a rake and the bed is
ready for seeding.
A broad frame, 10 or II inches high
on the south and double that on the
north, should be placed about the bed
when the pit is prepared. The glass
sash or cloth covering used should be
placed on as soon as the manure is
packed in.
A bed prepared in this way will fur
nish heat about six weeks. The tenn
perature will run high at the start and
gradually go down. At the end Of six
weeks the hot bed becomes a cold
frame and will protect plants from irosts
but not hard freezes.
