tenn OF any city IN the world, and
whenever 1t is attempted to put
up an unslightly building within
the area that is being improved
FOR public purposes, there Is al

with the general plan for beauti.
flying Washington is the scheme
by which more than fifteen thou.
sand school children have been
enlisted In efforts as gardeners
this spring. A plan of a sytema
tic work was carried out q year
ago at which 10000 packages of
seeds were used by the youngsters.
Washington has made wonderful
progress in the movement, which
may we'll be extended to every
city and village in the country.
As . result OF cooperation on the
part Of the teachers, youthful
gardeners have been educated TO
work out their individual prob
lens, and the cultivation of flow
ers has become . keen rivalry
among the children.

INDEPENDENCE
and CREDIT,

The question Of granting indie
peDdence to the Philippine Is
lands is commanding serious at
tention upon the part Of Congress,
and while there are those who are
pushing for action, yet the proba
bilities are that some more resolu
tlons IN national political plat.
forms will be required before any
definite action is taken by Con.
gress.
Rural credit is also mp for con
slderation, bnt it appears that the
big insurance companies, the
trust companies and other money
lenders, are on the job; and they
believe the present high rates of
interest should not be meddled
with. Therefore they are fighting
sll forms of rural credits, which
might result 10 loans to western
farmers ct tour or five per cent.

SMITHS BILL WILL GIVE
THE BOY A CHANCE

Washington, Feb. 14.-The bill
to allow l8 year old miners to in
itiate homestead entry upon the
public domain. legislation which has
been earnestly advocated by Con-
gressman Addison T. Smith during
the last and present congress, has
been favorably reported to the house
Of representatives by the committee
on public lands, Of which Mr.. Smith
is member, and II ID expected that
it will become q law during the pre-
sent session, If it can be reached on
the union calendar for consideration
under the rules. Because Of the
objection Of several Of the eastern
members to the bill it propably can
not be considered BY unanimous con-
sent. Mr.. Smith argues that the
enactment of this law will result In
many young men remaining on the
farm, and enable them 70 lead an
independent agricultural life rather
than to work for wages. In sup.
porting the bin he says:
When a young man reaches the
age Of 18 he naturally begins Il
look into the future with the vies
of establishing home. and If he i
able to initiate homestead on ths
public domain the probabilities are
that many Of them will remain OF
farm instead Of going to the citie4
or towns to seek employment. The
government gladly accepts thest
young men for service in the ARM
and navy at the age Of 10, and WIN
should we not be willing to extent
them the privilege of making /
homestead entry at that age"

NEXT WAR WILL BE FOR
COMMERCIAL SUPREMACY

Washington, Feb. 1O.-'Tf this
war is settled IS all other wars have

will face not only the enormous war
debts and expense Of a normal re-
building of their industries, but in
addition the continuously increasing
burden Of the rivalry in armaments,
and this means that Enrope's need
for markets will be most urgent in
her history" declared Edward Filene
Of Boston, member of the execu-
tive committee Of the international
congress of chambers of commerce
here today.
So imperative viii be the need for
markets that the nations of Europe
win sell goods TO us at q nominal
profit II they can, but. II necessary,

people for their own defense
He took up first the Mexican prob

''intervened In Mexico 20 control the
