The first frost which viii put an
end to the development Of many Of the
flowers In the home garden should be
the signal, say specialists Of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. for the
planting OF bulbs Of the tulip, hya-
cinth, and narcissus, which are to fur
nish the first touch Of color for the
outdoor garden In the spring. The
bulbs may be put in even before the
appearance OF the firts frost, but bet.
ter not until alter.
Tulips and hyacinths should be
placed in beds in light, rich soil that
has been dug to depth Of at least 10
inches. They should be set inches
deep and inches apart II the mar
cissus and its variants-jonquils and
daffodils-are to be planted in beds,
the soil should be prepared similarly
and the bulbs should be set 10 inches
apart and inches deep.
A pleasing variation from planting
the narcissus type Of early spring.
blooming bulbs formally in beds is to
plant them in scattered groups on the
open lawn or in the edge OF shrub.
berry. A good plan IN arranging for the
location OF the flowers on the lawn
is to broadcast the bulbs and plant
them where they fall. A small hole
5 or i inches deep should be made anI
tho bulb inserted. pointed end up. The
hole should then be pressed full OF
soil.
Often the narcissus, planted in this
way, will become naturalized on the
lawn and will continue to grow there
indefinitely. coming up year after year

the first of June. Where the lawn is
kept cut the tops of the plants are cut
off before the bulb has chance to de.
velop for the next years blooming.

or second year.
Crocus bulbs may be planted In the
lawn in the same way, but tho top
should not be deeper than twice the
length Of the bulb.

VIII have an opportunity to
recoup their fallen fortune at the
Grand either tonight or tomorrow.
Thomas Dixon who wrote the book
upon which the big Griffith spectacle
was based has startled the nation with
'a,etupendous creation that Is in all re-
lepects fully as interesting as any OF
the several similar productions of
which 1.-THE Birth of Nation" was
the forerunner. Dixon in collabora-
ton with Victor Herbert has combined
the highest achievement OF screen
craft and the indefinable qualities Of
'appfoprfate music as arranged and in
.terpreted by Herbert in 1.-THE Fall OF
q Nation" Unlike its predecessor, this
production deals with unlikely, but
hot impossible, events Of the future,
ind what history 1t aims to cover Is
ut comparative recent making. The

balanced to suit the most ardent

destruction, when diplomacy fails, of
the United States, is taken on the 9th.

plain reason why a divided public opin.
lon on a very vital question, such as
'yThe Fall OF a Nation" presents, should
not view this spectacle on the screen
with calm eQuanimity. Yet it is a
matter Of record that its production In
some quarters OF the United States
did for time arouse to u very high
pitch Of excitement an otherwise com.
Iplacent public conscience. This need

are the climaxes, and SO fraught with
possibilities, so realistic in scenic en-
svtronment, 80 heart gripping the story,
that one cannot we'll view it without
some sort OF emotion. The presenta.

QUIT GUESSING
ADVICE TO NATION
WARNING Is EXTENDED TO AMER
icAN BUSINESS MEN AT
BIG CONVENTION.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 8.-Warning
to American business men to place
less dependence on the "proverbial
American guess" and to do construc.
tive thinking, to become less partisan
in dealing with great economic ques.
tons, and to systematically discourage
the prevalent disparagement of the ef-
forts of men in public life, was voiced
by John H. Fahey, president Of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, at the opening of it's fourth an
nual convention today.
President Fahey said that seven hun
dred commercial bodies are affiliated
with the chamber, which in member
ship and in the widespread character
of representation, "far exceeds in size
any similar organization in the world. y
Reports of officers occupied the re-
mainder of the opening session. The
convention will continue throughout
Thursday, with national defense as the
chief topic of discussion on the closing
day. President Wilson will speak at
the annual banquet Thursday night.

Paris, Feb. S.-"Russia's munitions
crisis is now thing Of the past" said
Gen. Polivanoff, Russian minister Of
war, in an interview with special
correspondent Of the Paris Journal.
1T is only an unpleasant memory now.
with regard to the troops, their
spirit is excellent, thanks to the sys-
tenn Of mobilization by masses which
was put into force few months ago,
and to the doubling of the number Of
supply depots. At the present time we
have a permanent reserve of young
recruits large enough to enable us to
keep all the units UP to their full
strength, without having to send to the
front half trained men. This is of great
Importance, for it has been observed
that the moral of the soldier is likely
to deteriorate when he sees his COM
pany, which originally had $50 or 300
men, reduced to few Dozen"

PARTY LINES F0RGOTTON
Speaker Champ Clark and Republican
Leader Mann, Unite In Approving
New Navy Bills.

Washington D. c., Feb. 8. - Two
house measures to strengthen the
navy went over to the senate today.
One is bill to provide for adding
about three hundred midshipmen to
the entrance class at Annapolis next
July and the other calling for equip
ping of the navy yards at New York
and Mare Island for the construction
of battleships Nos. 43 and A.
Speaker Champ Clark took the lead
in urging passage of the two measures.
He was supported by Representative
Mann, the minority leader, with the re-
suit that party lines were obliterated
and both measures passed the house
without dissenting vote.
After brief consideration the COM
mittee ordered favorably reported the
bill authorizing expenditure Of $780,
600 to equip Mare Island navy yard for
battleship construction and 500, 900 to

CHALLENGES MUST BE PREPARED

Let tany citizen with capacity for
analysis slit out for himself the essen
tials Of all that we have been passing
through. We have issued several no
stices to Mexico that European powers
would have regarded as the kind OF
ultimatum that means war. We have
called at least four great European
movers to account for what We pro-
nounce to be grave violation of our
rights. Other unarmed and helpless
countries have been suffering far
worse indignities and wrongs than
those of which we have been COM
planning with our sharp and threaten
Ing challenges; but these other coun-
tries, recognizing their own feeble
ness. have said nothing at all or else
spoken very softly. China has no
developed public opinion; and many
wrongs might be perpetrated against
Chinese sovereignty or territorial in
tegrity without it's becoming known to
the majority of Cinnamon. But every
body knows the news in this country;
and sentiment flares up from Maine
to California with all the swiftness OF
electricity and modern printing
presses. Considerations of prudence,
on the ground of our not being pre-
pared, will never induce the American
people to condone injustice or submit
to indignities. We are therefore in
great deal Of practical danger of get
ting into a war unless the rest of the
world forthwith abandons violent prac-
tees and sedulously cultivates our
good will-From "The Progress of the
World" in the American Review Of
Reviews for February.

CHILDREN'S EVENING STORY

/, "Ha! This Is almost as good as
playing ball." laughed Woozie. I'm
having as good time as II was with
my brother Wuzzie, making leather
sucker"
But Woozie tossed up the cocoanut
once too often. The last time he
tossed 1t so high that he could hardly
reach out to get it. and when he did,
he just managed to get his paws on
the big, round nut, when his foot slip
ped, and down he fell into we'll.
It was a new we'll, and it was not
quite finished, 80 there was no water
in it. Otherwise Woozie might have
been drowned. As 1t was he had
quite bad fall. almost like Humpty
Dumpty, and there he was, at the bot
tom Of the well.
But l didn't lose the cocoanut,
anyhow!" thought Woozie. after he
had felt of himself all over to see IL
anything was broken by his fall. But
nothing was, except the point Of his
lead pencil, and he could easily sharp
en- on new one.
But how am to get out of this
well?" thought the little fox boy. II
, must got out, for mamma wants this
cocoanut"
Then he called:
Help! Help! Will some one please
help me up out Of the well?"
But no one seemed to hear him; at
least no one answered.
II think ! shall have to help my
SELF" said Woozie. He tried to climb
up the sides of the we'll, but they we're
too smooth. The men who had dug
away down to the bottom had been
lowered into the we'll, and pulled up
by rope. But the men were not
there and the rope was up at the top,
where Woozie could not reach 1t.
II have some strong string In my
pocket, though" thought the little fox
boy. "I'll tie the string to the cocoa
nut, toss it up out of the top Of the
we'll, and maybe the string will catch
fast to something up top, SO can pull
myself up" s.. -
Out of the we'll Woozie tossed the
cocoanut to which he had fastened the
string. But alas! Likewise sorrow
fulness! The cocoanut only rolled
back into the well again, and it almost
struck Woozie on his nose.
"Oh, dear!" cried the little fox boy.
"I'll never get out of this well!'
/ vi, yen yOu VIII, CAACU " soASO w
top. Here! I'll let my tail bangle
down to you Take tight hold of it
and Il will pull you out"
who are you, if you please?' asked
Woozie. .,.
81 am a long, stretchy, rubbery
snake" was the answer. Then the
kind snake put his tail, which was like
a rope, down in the well, and the
snake himself held on to tree stump
up top.
up you comet cried the kind
snake, AZ it pulled Woozie out of the
we'll And soon the little fox boy was
safely on top. He thanked the kind
snake very much, and then he ran
home with the cocoanut for his mann
ma. And he did not play ball with It
any more, for he did not want to fall
down any more wells.
So that's all to this story, II you
please, except to say that Woozie had
the milk from the cocoanut, and he
saved Wuzzie, and Wizzie. his sister,
some. And on Monday night, If the
