IN THE GARDEN

Do not make the mistake OF planting
magnolias I'm the autumn. Where they
thrive there is nothing more snowy
than the Chinese varieties. The flow

crocuses and tulips in the spring. The
spring Is a better time for planting.

Last year the Illinois Legislature
voted to found a colony for epileptics.
In number of states these are al
ready well established institutions. A
home for these unfortunates is neces

years ago establish hospital for those
wounded and manned in the insane

stead, we instituted the sane Fourth

decade with any need of medical care

NATURAL MEANS OF DEFE"SE

Here is a wal comment from George
W. Monroe, the comedian:
The Russian army has one advan.
tage over all other armies, and that ls
whlskers. It has an ENHANCEMENT of
whiskers that nothing can penetrate
not even lyddite, shrapnel or slugs. A
Russian soldiers whiskers are not the
tlossy kind that toss around with
every passing gale. They are so dura.

o even bend them; he drives them
into the ground, The only time a Rus.
sian soldier is In danger is when he
turns the back OF his head to the en-.
envy The other armies may have the
best tactics, armament. discipline.
spirit and patriotism, but the Russian
army has the chilled.steel whiskers.
The most diticult job a Red Cross
nurse has to perform, after the Rus
sian army has finished an engage
ment, is to comb the bullets and
shells out OF the soldiers whiskers.
Fifty years from now, when the next
great war is fought, II will not be a
question Of rapid-hring, long-range
guns; Il will be a question OF whis.
kers. The world will ask which army
has the best Whiskers. Whiskers will
decide the battle. Nations will no
longer waste money in buying big
guns and testing them, They will
grow whiskers for national defense
and they will test an army's efficiency
by drawing up a company on the
parade grounds and allowing a husky
coal HEAVIER to go down the line and
hit each soldier In the face with an
AK. Whiskers that won't make the az
bounce win be sent to the rear as un
ht for the firing line.
