Marlowe, David Belasco, Col. George
Harvey and several presidents of pa
triotic organizations will decide the
contest for a historical pageant now
being conducted by the woman's sec
ton of the league.
The contest for $50 word creed OF
national defense announced last week
has brought hundreds of answers. One
of the most striking is the contribu-
ton of Miss Frances Whitaker Baker,
daughter of Representative 1. Thorn

Baker turned in the following sugges.
ton for creed of national defense.

I believe in national defense be

LIQUOR MEN BARRED.

The knights Templar of PennsylVa-
mia, it is reported, at their annual
conclave, passed by big majority a
resolution which make it impossible in
the future for any one directly or in
directly connected with the liquor
traffic to join any conmandery in the
State. Inasmuch as every man who
votes to perpetuate the sale of liquor

Earth,s Richest and s.fest SPOT.

English economists have declared
that Americas wealth grows $5,000,-
900, 600 a year. Since the official es-
innate of our national wealth three
years ago exceeds SITS, 900, 900, 900, the
total today must now have passed be-
yond the 5000, o0O, 900, 900 point. These
figures are colossal beyond all com
pare. They mean $4,000 of wealth for
every inhabitant. They represent more
than double the wealth of the United
Kingdom, our closest competitor, and
they very nearly match the combined
wealth of England, France and Ger
many.
Our wealth is ten times that of
Italy, eight times that of Austria, and
four times that of France. These
leading European countries are now
tearing at one another's vitals, and
destroying property much faster than
they can create it. Hence all Europe
is today actually moving backward,
while the United States is sweeping
swiftly forward to a state of still great
err ~oprlence. Ours is the land of
plenty, of peace and Of opportunity

BOTH TIME AND LABOR
ly In the Mind Of the Housewife
in the Summer.

The long list of casserole dishes are
among the time and labor savers OF
the summer housewife. With every
thing cooked in and served from the
same dish, table service, as well as
dishwashing, is reduced to the mini
mum, while even a commonplace prep
aration is given a bit of elaboration
by this process.
In the same practical category be-
longs the attractive serving of an &C.
casional planked dish, surrounded by
an alternating variety of vegetables.
While in reality the meat or fish so
served may have been broiled in the
regulation way, it gains much in ap-
pearance if served in imitation of a
planked dish, occupying the center of
a large plates with the vegetables as
a border. Mounds of mashed potato
or boiled rice, alternating with
mounds of some fresh vegetable, are
quite sufficient, although more va,
riety is easily possible. Vegetables
served In this way make an attractive
garnish, at the same time lessening
the number of dishes required on the
table.

C0L0RS IN ANIMALS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

For summer Towering, ANNALS are
very satisfactory, blooming profusely
through the entire season, while the
cost of a seed packet is but a trifie.
Good taste dictates the system of
planting large punches of single spe-
cies together rather than the old way
of mixing a dozen varieties in as
many square feet.
1t is the same plan that places a
dozen carnations or roses in a vase
rather than the Heterogeneous collec-
ton in the old-fashioned bouquet.
Mass your flowers If you would secure
the best effect.
The old ~calliopsis, "lady's breastpin"
they used to call it, is a handsome
plant, its long slender stems render
ing it extremely useful for cutting,
and the shades Of gold and brown
~harmonizing nicely.
A mass of it next to the s%hrubbery
in the background gives a most pleas
ing effect.
Some handsome forms of single
dahlia may be secured by planting a
packet of the seeds in pots early in
the spring and transplanting the

How Japanese Boil Rice.

Every relocating community has its
own methods of boiling rice. The Jap
anese wash the rice thoroughly in sew
eral waters, then carefully drain, and
to each cupful allow one of cold water.
1t is then placed n a saucepan, COW
cred tightly, and set over a brisk fire
to boil quickly. This rapid boiling is
kept up until most Of the water Is
absorbed, the cover being kept on.
and the water allowed to run over its
sides, after which the saucepan is
moved to the back of the stove and
the rice allowed to cook slowly until
perfectly dry. During the entire proc
ess the rice must be neither stirred,
shaken nor tossed, but allowed to cook
undisturbed, so that each grain will
be perfect.

young seedlings to the garden as loon
as danger from frost is over.
The colors Of some are very fine
and to one liking the single flowers
the plan is a good one Of getting a
variety at a small price; but unless
started very early these seedlings
rarely mature tubers that will keep
through the winter, though they com
mence Towering almost as soon as the
plants are started from the tubers.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES asters
are much more pleasing, both grown
in masses and for cutting, than the
quilted bouquet sorts. If but two
kinds are chosen, let them be lavender
and white with rose as a third choice
When ordering seeds there is a
strong temptation to order mixed
packets, yet if the very finest speci-
mems are expected, the surer way is
to single out one or two of the choicest
colors.
These are made up from the best
individuals, while the mixed packets
are what the name implies, though in
many instances highly satisfactory.
With pansies for spring, sweet peas
for summer, and asters for autumn,
one may be sure of having an abun-
dance of the most beautiful cut-flowers
for all occasions.

BIZ d. M. BENNINGTON.

II the season is a dry one some
Of the plants in the garden will have
to be watered If you want flowers
from them. Especially is this true of
gloxinia.
Use enough water to penetrate all
the soil in which their roots grow,
and see that it is kept moist.
Watering today and ~neglecting for
a week to come isn't the proper thing.
Save the suds from wash day for this
purpose. The snap in the water will
benefit the plants.
Be sure to supply substantial sup
ports for your dahlias. If this is not
done you will likely find them
broken some morning after a sudden
wind or a hard rainstorm. The stakes
should be at least four feet tall
allow an extra foot and a half for in
sertion In the ground and they should
be at least an inch through, and OF
good sound wood. Paint them a dull
green and they will not be unpleasant

Of 1866 between Italy and Austria San
Marine has been technically at war

sists of a mountain and three villages
and has a population of about 10000.
1t is difficult to take a complete roll
Of the inhabitants because of the fact
that many of the men are employed in
other parts Of Europe. The republic
has no railroad, the visitor having to
ride four hours in a diligence from
Rimini, an Adriatic coast resort city.
The area of San Marino is 80 square
miles.
The highest point of the republic is
Monte Titano, which rises a sheer cliff
to more than 1900 feet above the val
ley and, being a somewhat isolated
spur to the east of the Apennines, is
easily discernible from far out on the
Adriatic and from the highlands of the
Austrian border miles to the north.
At the time Of San Marines military
glory several hundred years ago the
cliffs and the strong wall that climbed
along their edge to Titano's summit
were a defence against crossbows, jaw
cline and catapults.
Upon Monte Titano the people have
dwelt ever since there was a San Ma
rino; it's three submits crowned by
towers are ~emblazoned on the coat of
arms over the gates, and around it
have clustered all the traditions and
history of the state.
st. Marinus here laid the founda-
ton of the little nation some 1000
years ago. Addison said that San
Marine had a nobler origin than
Rome, in that the latter was at first
an asylum for robbers and murderers
and the former "of persons eminent

According to tradition the founder
of the state was a Dalmatian stone
cutter named Marinus, who after
working for years at Rimini embraced
Christianity and withdrew to Monte
Titano to escape prosecutions under
