Every rural school house has connect
cd with it a garden under the superin-
tendence of a school master who lives
the year round in the cottage belong
ing to that school. Our centralized
rural schools are a step in that direc-
ton.
l. In fruit culture, pupils learn how
to take a wild plum tree one year old
n by budding and grating increase
its value fifty times so it will bear
choice tame plums instead of wild
ones. By grating in the limbs of es-
taDllshed apple or plum trees they
may be made to bear choice improved
varieties and their value thereby in
creased.
2. The free use of vegetables the
year round would saw many doctor
bills. Why not learn how to raise
vegetables to the best advantage?
3. 1t is indeed instructive and well
worth while to learn the propagation
OF fruit trees.
4 Ornamental horticulture appeals
to our sense of the beautiful. There is
hunger of the soul as well as hunger
of the stomach, so the ornamental side
of horticulture must not be neglected.
What is more beautiful than a bouquet
of beautiful nowerc on the fable and
doesn't it make the food taste better?
5. Landscape gardening tells us
where to plant ornamentals and is one
of the Fine Arts, along with music, ar
chitecture, sculpture and painting.
The effect of beautiful trees Is largely
lost if they are not grouped in the
right way. The Lawn Beautiful in
creases the working capacity of the
people who live in that home be it in
the country or town.
6. Finally, plant breeding cores
ponds to invention in the mechanic
arts. To take a wild Sand Cherry or
plum and by crossing with choice cul-
tivated fruits secure hardness of plant
and choice fruit as well, is really a
new invention. We need new and bet,
ter fruits, vegetables, trees, shrubs,
roses, garden flowers. To succeed in
this line will depend on the inventive
turn of mind of the individual.

SHOULD STUDY HORTICUL-
TURE

(By Prof. N. E. Hansen, State Col
lege.)
In plain English, horticulture means
garden culture. This subject is divid-
ed into several divisions including
fruits. vegetables, plant nursery work,
ornamental trees, shrubs, flowers,
landscape gardening and last but not
least, plant breeding which teaches
how plants are improved and new var
ieties originated. This Is fundamental
to all the others. All of these may be
considered either from the amateur or
the professional standpoint.
Since horticulture is essential to
aking anywhere, and especially
on the wind swept open prairie, every
one should receive some training and
at as early a stage Is possible. In
Germany and other countries OF Eu-
rope. the main operations of horticul-
ture are taught In the country schools.

LICENSES FOR BARRIERS

The BARRIERS are asking for a law
providing the licensing of BARRIERS.
If it means that BARRIERS must pass
an examination as to qualifications
and knowledge of common principles
of sanitation, well and good. Let
them have it. 1t should be accom-
panied by certain provisions and pen
alties as to cleanliness and sanitary
shops, towels and the like and pro-
vide that any barber afflicted with a
contagious or infectious disease should
have his license revoked if he prac-
ticed his art while so afflicted. But
it should not be made a question of
affiliation with any organization.
Neither should the enforcement of the
law or the board empowered to grant
licenses e turned over to those who
might use the power to enforce afilia-
ton with labor organizations of any
description.
The law, if such a law is to pass, is
to be more a protection to the public
than to the practitioner. There is
need Of inspection of barber shops
and reason for some system that will
enforce hygienic operation Of shops.
That is the first consideration. The
protection to the barber himself
against competition with dirty shops
and insanitary BARRIERS is incidental TO

Good for Maine Workmanship.
Camden Herald)


The performance of the destroyer
Wadsworth On her acceptance trials
last week is without question the
most phenomenal in the history OF
contract shipbuilding. Not only was
the ship able to maintain for four
hours with only three quarters Of her
boiler power in use a rate Of speed
tVo-thirds OF knot greater than the
81 knots required by her contract.
but she was able TO maintain varying
rates Of speed ranging from Z to 30
knots on fuel consumption ranging
from q TO IS per cent less than the
contract stipulations. Uncle Sam.
therefore, gets a ship which will not
only be able 10 go three or four knots
an hour faster than he contracted for.
but a ship which will cost him from
one-quarter 10 one-half as much 70
run as he expected and which will
have a cruising radius almost half as
long again as that for which the ship
was designed. More than all that,
the ship will be delivered and in
commission something like three
months earlier than called for in the
contract: The record thus made with
the Wadsworth rather overtops even
the former extraordinary performances
Of the Bath Iron Works.

There may be plenty Of places
along the coast of Maine where Ger
man submarines could make their
headquarters and where q base Of
supplies could be established without
anybody becoming the wiser. just as
some sensational writer has stated.
We don't believe il, however. II is
true that the coast of Maine is a won
Gerful section: in some few places
almost prineval in its appearance be-
cause Of the isolation and because Of
the infrequent visirations Of mankind.
But the claim that the whole Gulf
Of Maine is dotted with such hiding
places where people from the mania nd
never set foot is a myth pure and
simple. Germany or any other nation
would stand abou, as good a show Of
ablishlng a secret harbor and base

Democracy, Thou AT a Jewel.

Democratic leaders are made un-
comfortable by the frequency with
which their OWE arguments are re-
futed by their own subsequent asser-
tons. They realize that their rec
ords show their lack OF knowledge Of
affairs and their inability TO dra"
sound conclusions based upon existing
conditions For instance. they de-
clared last winter that depression was
due 10 the war and not 10 the tariff
hu. within q few weeks found that IN
guestionably industrial activity was
restored b. the war.
Lately they have been attempting 10
take credit for TIE revival Of business
and ignored the effect Of the European
conflict upon the increased market fo-
American goods: but they are con-
f.onted by the plain words - Presi-
den, Wilson. n his message 70 Con-
sres3 last December. when he urged
the passage Of the ship purchase bill
for the express and only purpose q
providing means by which the
products Of American fields. mines and
factories could be transported TO the
large and anxious markets Of the war
ring nations Of Europe.
The president said that those ma
tons eagerly look 10 Us 10 supply
their ali but empty markets" and here
are markets vnich we must supply
and We must hnd q means Of action"
The President explained al length that
the European WAY which closed the
factories and absorbed the resources
Of European nations not Only provided
market for us there, but also pro-
v.csd q market II South American
countries which have heretofore made
their purchases across the Atlantic.
The whole argument upon which the
ship purchase bill was based xas the
absolute necessity Ct providing means
Of meeting the Gsnand for Cur goods
Thus the President himself, vouched
Tor the good effect Of the European
war upon American trade. Fulfill
nent o. his prediction in this respect
has. however, confounGed him BY
proving that ne was absolutely wrong
in his argument in favor Of the ship
purchase bill. for MS secretary Of
commerce Is out with statistics TO
show that at the end OF the present
year the balance Of trade IN favor o.
the United States IS billion dollars
and that America is the leading fnan-
cisl nation Of the world: and this ac-
conplished without the passage Of the
ship purchase bill which the Demo-
cratic administration urged with all its
power as al absolute necessity in or
Ger that the United States might come
into its OWE
The Democratic record Of incon-
sis,ency is marvel. First, the
European war had brought hard times
by cutting of our trade. Second. the
war had provided US market and
made government purchase Of ships
absolutely necessary. Third, indus
trial activity has been partially re-
: stored and enormous exports twithout
government owned -----H have turned
the balance Of trade in our favor.
I Fourth, the Democratic party and not
the European war is entitled TO credit
. for partial revival Of industrial enter
rrises.
