NATURES GUIDE FOR
GARDEN PLANTING

Nature furnishes guides for gar
den planting which are even more re-
liable than the calendar, according
to the Department of Agri.ulture's
specialist, The old residents of the
soil such as the maple, dogwood, and
white oak are the best interpreters
of natures moods in spring and quick
ly reflect them, so that the gardener
who follows their silent suggestions
may arrange the planting of his veg
etables accordingly.
When the silver naples begin to
put forth their leaves and the cat
kins" appear on the willows and pop
lars, nature is indicating that the
season Is right for the planting of
such vegetables as lettuce, mustard,
onion seeds and onion sets, parsley.
the round seeded peas, early Irish po
tatoes, radishes, spinach, and tur.
nips. This, of course, is provided
that the soil is in good order which
can be determined by taking a hand
full at a depth of or 4 inches from
the surface, compact 1t in the hand
by closing the fingers, and If, upon
opening them, the ball OF earth grad
ually falls apart, 1t is ready to be
spaded. Manure should then be bur-
led full spade depth below the sur
face and the soil should be made fino
and compact with an even surface.
Not until about ten days after ma.
ture has set the date for the above
mentioned vegetables should such
garden truck as beets, carrots, and
kohlrabi be planted A second SOW
ing of peas can also be made at this
| time.
The dogwood and the white oak be
gin to show signs OF awakening at
time when other vegetables may
be planted. These include bush and
pole beans, sweet corn, cucumbers,
muskmelons, watermelons, and vari-
GUS kinds Of squash. The gardener
and housewife will rarely plant too
early If they but wait for nature to
tell them what to do.

LlFE'S WORK

We must each take our turn at
the anvil of life and forge our own
armor.
We must not look for silver spoons
and beds Of ease, but, rather we must
welcome each rebuff that turns
earth's smoothness rough. and realize
that in them lies the really silver
spoon Of life after all.
Each rebuff successfully met is
well welded link in our life armor.
AS we overcome each obstacle do
we prepare ourselves to win LIES
battle?
AS We allow defeat to overtake us
so is our armor weakened and our
life service rendered less efficient.
Where do we forge this armor?
In our thoughts and actions in ev.
cry day life.
No one is bigger than his thoughts
and actions are but the outward and
visible expression of our thoughts.
1t is the inner life that determines
what we shall be.
No one rises higher than the ideals
that he sets before himself.
It Is the character Of our ideals
that strengthens or weakens our ar.
NOR.
Life is rich and full for everyone
who forges for himself a we'll knit
armor.
Let us take our thoughts and ideals
and mould and weld them into links
Of strength.
As we do so will We attain mental,
moral, spiritual and material success.
The anvil and the forge await us
every day.-Annie Miller Knapp.

THE PUBLIC SENSE
OF NEATNESS

There are many people who are
thoughtful for the appearance oil
their own home places, yet who are
absolutely careless as to the general
appearance Of their town.
Comparatively few persons, who
have any sense Of cleanliness at all
would litter up their own home
grounds by throwing refuse out Of
the windows. Yet the same people
will scatter paper bags and other
waste matter about the streets Of
their town. Then they complain
against the local officers IL the place
is not kept In neat condition.
Most people also feel some pride
about keeping up home places. They
will take pains not to run over grass
bankings, and will scrupulously fol-
low paths. But when they go down
they will cut corners, gradually wear
Ing down pots of grass, and give the
town an unfinished and run down
air. No matter how much money "a
town spends to keep its public ways
In good shape, it will never have a
neat and tidy appearance unless its
citizens cooperate.
People should feel a positive sense
of shame in throwing away anything
that would make their streets look
unattractive.
In some places boys and girls are
trained to pick up waste paper that
Is flying about the streets. With a
lot of youngsters active in that way,
not merely to remove evidences of
other peoples disorder, but not to
make any of their own, it is aston.
ishing how a towns appearance can
be transformed.
Allowing public streets to remain
in a disorderly condition must hurt
the reputation of a town. In these
days of automobiles a town receives
visitors constantly from far and
near. Residents of other cities come
In critical spirit. They are quick
to see evidences of public disorder,
and they bear away the news that
this or that town Is dirty.
Spring is the time for cleaning up.
Let us all resolve to keep the streets
neat this season!

A printer who should undertake to
turn out a lot of posters or catalogs
without definite figures of expense,
obtained from similar operations in

the old fashioned farmers are still
trying to raise half dozen different
crops, without keeping any separate
expense account of each.

Noted Marksman Bags Two From Air,
Also One Coyote and Two Wild
Cats From the Ground

Martin asserted that all sportsmen
who can afford it will in time do their
hunting in aeroplanes, as through
such machines, they can better see
their quarry, cover more territory in
any given time and at the same time
do it with less Inconvenience than in
any other way.
In a minute" he said IAN aero
plane can cross an arroyo which a
hunter on foot would require FIVE
hours to negotiate. l believe that
the aeroplane is especially adapted
to hunting geese and next season
Mills and l shall try it out"
Both Mills and Martin believe that
coyotes and wildcats destroy more
quail than are killed by hunters and
say that the sights they had of wild
life on their trip prove it. They hope
that the legislature will soon provide
for bounty upon those two species
OF animal.
Martin left Los Angeles, later, for
Washington to confer with navy and
army officials regarding aeroplanes
and aeroplanes construction, but up
on his return he expects to show
something in aviation ever more in
teresting than the feat of last week.

THE NEW COOPERATIVE
LABOR PLAN

In a recent address in Chicago, an
official OF the United States Depart
ment of Labor, in explaining the plan
by which that department in coop
Grafton with the Department OF Ag-
riculture and the Post Office Depart
ment hopes to minimize unemploy-
ment and at the same time relieve
the labor situation in the rural dis
tricts, estimated that not 20 per
cent of the men absolutely necessary
in the wheat belt at harvest time
could find employment there during
the rest of the year. Moreover, II
was diff cult for the farmers to cal.
culate far in advance the exact mum
Der of men that would be required to
get in their crops. In consequence
Il great army had to be modified at
very short notice, utilized for a brief
time and then disbanded This was
the difficult problem which had to be
solved before any plan could be truly
effective.
At the present time host of men
passes annually from northern Mex.
leo into Texas working its way, as
the season advances, northward, to
the Dakotas. This army is howev.
or, only nucleus; 1t contains less
than half of the men required for

recruited from the outside a more diff
ficult matter than might be imagined
for not every man who Is in search
of work Is fitted for the harvest field.
The question of transportation also
complexities the situation. Harvest
hands are not usually rich in ready
cash and what they have they are
not likely to risk in long journeys in
search of opportunities that may not
exist.
The first step, therefore, is to
foresee where and when and how
much labor will be wanted. In this
the crop correspondents of the de.
partment can be of great service.
They are in better position than
the average farmer to estimate the
prospects in their several localities
and the probable need for labor. The
farmer himself, however, Is being
asked to do his part. Under the plan,
now in force, any employer in need

tanned at the nearest post Office
which is forwarded to the local
headquarters Of the Department OF
Labor. Among other things the
prospective employer is asked to
state on this card whether or not he
will advance transportation and II
so on what terms he expects to be
repaid. Similar cards are provided
for men in search of employers. In
this way applications for men and
applications for Jobs are matched
against each other.

Gently shot and killed from an aero
plane driven by Glenn Martin at
speed OF between sixty and seventy
miles an hour and at an altitude OF
three or four hundred feet, two coy

that they themselves would soon be

This stalking Of game by areoplane
which Martin declared marked the
beginning of the revolutionIzing of
hunting, was accomplished in the

chosen by the ingenious aviator and
the clever marksmen as likely area
to demonstrate the possibilities in a
combination of hunting and flying.
1t was at 3:45 in the afternoon that
Martin and Mills, in one OF Martins
standard aeroplanes, left the await

Angeles, and mounted skyward, cir

had shot about seven miles north Of

When they found it, Martin made

1900 or 200 feet to within three or
four hundred feet of the earth, mean

He shot the two from the aero

Then, while farmers wondered at
