Making garden is harmless pursuit
which Is INDUCED in every spring by
married men who envy the farmer.
Nine out of ten American business
men are convinced, after casting up
their bills payable at the end of the
month. that they should be on the
farm, and most of their customers
agree with them. As few business
mea, however, are able to save enough
out of their net earnings, after paying
the hired girl, to buy farm, they
console themselves by making gar
den which viii not grow anything but
the hardy and unterrifed onion.
There is great profit in making a
garden, if it is done correctly. The
seeds do not cost anything, as they
are sent out by kind-hearted Members
Of Congress, in exchange for vote
of thanks at the November elections.
The congressional garden seed comes
in q neat package bearing the con
gresham s autograph, and every once
in a while viii surprise the recipient
by sprouting in an upright attitude.
When the seeds fail to sprout, the c n
gresham loses the vote of the plantee
and all of his male relatives. Some
shrewd politicians figure that more
congressman have been defeated for
reelection by the -sprOutlng gar
den seed than by all of the post-cttice

All records for artillery warfare
have probably been surpassed in the
attack on Verdun, where the huge and
almost fabulous 42-centimeter mob lie
howitzers are now said to have come
up to put in the double bass in the
monstrous symphony. At Mukden
there were 1900 or more guns along
the widely-extended front, but nearly
all of them light feld-pieces. At Yer
dun the Germans alone have concen-
trated upon a morrow front 5000 or
more guns, of which perhaps 1900 are
of large cahber, and the French artil-
lery, though far inferior in weight and
probably in numbers, makes up an al.
most incredible total. Day and night
they never stop, and even one shot per
gun each hour would mean shot
every second. For Al days they
have kept up their incessant roar, ris-
ing to fury when full power is being

an attack. Every day at least 1000
tons of shells fall upon the French po-
sitions, and perhaps half as many are
flung back. How long will it last

A Boston newspaper editorially
sounds a true note when it declares in
reference to the threatened strike of
the carmen employed by the Bay State
that unions must leave to the employ
er the detail of the management of
the concerns in which both are inter
ested. In the Woburn case in point,
it appears that the company had dis
charged one of its men for a con
tinued series of lapses which tend to
show ineffieieney. The improper
turning of a switch was the culmina-
ton of mistakes. With the safety of
patrons of the lines at stake, it is APP
parent that no railroad should be
asked to eondone an employee who can
not be depended upon The union
principle, or the matter of a living
wage, are not at stake, but upon the
efficiency of the employees depends the
lives of ali who use the trolleys or the
steam ears.

The banks from coast to coast are
telling the same story of money piling
up in their vaults. There is such an
oyersupply of loanable funds that
some of the larger institutions are con
WINGED that a return to high interest
rates will not be seen for year. One
national bank in New York was seek
ing this week to place loan of $780,
600 for an out-of-town correspondent,
who was willing to take all industrial
stocks as collateral and make a loan
for year at per cent. Other banks
are offering six months loans at 49,
per cent on good industrial stocks
In the West rates have been lowered
to some extent by the entrance of
Eastern banks, which have made loans
under the prevailing rates in return
for being allowed to pick out the
cream of the collateral However,
the prevailing rate in the West and
Southwest are still considerably above
those in the East.

very enviable one, but we are compell-
ed to confess that Boston doesn t fur

to the number of would-be mates that

The federal bureau of administra-

and worthy movement of trying to in
duce aliens, who, it is asserted, consti-
tute about one-ffth of our population,
to take the oath of allegiance to the
United States. Before taking this
oath they must forswear allegiance to
the fatherlands. Incidental to this
work is the instruction of alien sub
iects in the fundamentals of our
government and institutions. Every
community and particularly every pub
lie functionary can contribute to this
end.
