FALL WORK INTERESTING
svEllzagETH VAN BENTHUYSEN

In the CHEEKY October days-ihe
,iays of brown ale and invigorating at
mosphere-the garden comes fully
into its own. There is not only the
fascination Of working among the
plants and flowers but there Is pre-
baratlon for the spring. If the au-
tumn is neglected there Will be no re-
alzation Of any spring hopes.
Planning and foresight are essential TO
garden success, and the man who had
the most pleasure in his October work
will reap the greatest reward when
the springtime comes. Pcrennals
must be transpanted. Good safe
places are to be found for them, with
a good covering of leaves TO keep away
the chill Of cold days.
TrauSplauting is real work. A rainy
day helps tighten the task because
there is no need for watering or Shad-
Ing the plants. 4 tr0wclful Of manure
under each plant viii lead the neigh
borS next spring to wonder why your
foNglovcs send mp spires five feet high
instead Of mere three feet that less
carefully handled plants attain.
Don't let IN" percnnialS crowd each
other. Where the clumps have grown
so closely as 10 crowd cut them in d.
visions with a sharp spade and reset
them in good rich soil.
In October the percnninls will be
ripenng their seed, which process they
begin In September. The seed can be
saved In separate colors If the flower
stalks were marked while they were
in bloom II Is worth the while TO
save the seed, even though 1t has TO

LOADING Guns With Air.

Jack Tar knows what it means to
tote heavy shells around ship, but Jack
Tar will not need to worry about this
duty longer, according to the Popular
Science Monthly. Ammunition Is now
loaded by pneumatic tube straight
from the magazine to the firing turret.
An intricate mechanism prevents the
shells from entering the breeches OF
the guns at great speed and also pre-
vents any mistake in firing.

general land office by Secretary of the
general supervision over the land Of
fee.
Mr.. Tallman Ids instituted many re-
forms in the administration Of the
land office, the most important of
which, he believes, is that which has
reduced he delays in acting upon
homestead final proofs and applica-
tons for surveys.
The lessening of these delays, it Is
believed has been partly responsible
for the increased amount of business
handled by the land office in the past
two years.

state Wednesday night The funeral services will be held this morning and a number from Westerly will attend.
 The presence of a eonspicuousIv vel low and orange evening grosbeak, member of the finch family, i1 Wilcox park Wednesday attracted the atten- ton of local bird lovers. The evening grosbeak Is a casual winter visitor in northern Atlantic states, but its regu- lar range is in the interior of North America, and resident from Manitoba northward. It is a common visitor in the winter in northwestern United States and Mississippi valley. The bird seen in Wilcox park is about eight inches long, two Inches shorter than the robin. The forehead, shoulders and underneath are clear yellow and the side of the head, throat and breast olive brown. It has crown tail, black wings with white secondary feathers, and yellow blunt and heavy bill.
 In the winter of 1889-90 the eastern peop,s had the rare privilege of becom- ing acquainted with this common bird of the northwest that in one of it's cratic travels visited the New England states and as far south as Delaware in great numbers. The local gird lovers who saw the evening grosbeaks then remembered Tuesday how beautiful their pluInage--a rare winter tint looked in the snow-covered trees, where small companies or the gentle and even tame visitors enjoyed the | buds and seeds of the naples, elders and evergreens.
 The funeral of Stephen T. Potter was
 held "Wednesday from bis home in Hope | Valley and was attended by many reIa- | tives and friends. There were beauti- full floral tributes, including three links
 of white and yellow roses with a stand of white tulips and lilies from the 1 Hope Valley lodge of Odd Fellows, a square and compass in white and red roses from the Masonic lodge and a large spray of Easter lilies from the
 Nichols & Langworthy Machine com pany. MT. Potter was born in South
 Kingstown 88 years ago and resided in Hope Valley for many years and the I greater part of the time was foreman
 of the Nichols & Langworthy Machine
 company until the change in owner ship.
 MT. Potter had been in failing health
 for a long time, but his final and seri- | ous illness was of short duration. Two weeks ago he was operated upon and
 one of his toes amputated, but did not

DUTCH WORKERS RIOT OVER FOOD SHORTAGE
- As CORPORATIONS MAKE HUGE WAR PROFITS!
TRIBUNE CORRESPONDENT SAYS LITTLE HOLLAND IS
BETWEEN TWO M1LLsToNEs; MEETING GREAT Ex-
PENsEs BECAUSE OF WAR; BUT ONLY sMUGGLERs.
FARMERS AND THE RICH PROFIT! 4

to rough up the big interests and the
shopkeepers and because 1t has at
present about all the financial trou-
bles it has cargo room for.
Here is Holland, small country,
1880 square miles, 6,00O,O00 popu-
lation. From the first tune on the
war bugle, Aug. I, 1914 to this day
she has ben forced to keep at least
one.half of her army under arms and
doing bushes on the frontier; one
half, and sometimes more
One-half is 100000 men, and the
least they have ever cost is 100000 a
day. Sometimes they double that.
Besides, there have been, for a
small country, back-breaking charges
for artillery, munitions and up-to-date
equipment.
Also for naval improvements and.
patrols to keep as many as possible of
Hollands merchant ships atloat.
Already there have been two big
war loans, and taxes have gone up
steadily amid groans.
TO keep the army on foot means
great numbers Of men taken from pro-
duction, particularly on the farms.
This tended to boost food prices, al
ready going up.
Then Germany was shy of cattle.
German agents bought great numbers
of Dutch cattle, sometimes even clean
ing out dairy herds. The meat supply
began to run short and prices went in
to the air. 'T|xy4
The government now put an embar-
go on cattle exports to Germany. It
was too late. The mischief had been
done: besides, the government could
mt watch the whole frontier day and
night. Smugglers did rushing BUSH
ness at wonderful prices.
They and many farmers got rich.
There is hardly farmer in eastern
Holland now that does not own an
automobile.
Meantime the millstones get heav-
Ter. Great Britain objects to every
thing that Holland sells to Germany,
and Germany objects to everything
Holland sells to Great Britain, and
back of each objection is not only the
sign of the sword but the threat Of
shutting off Hollands coal supply.
This little country, with many
ships, railroads and factories, pro-
duces no coal Without coal she
would perish
Her workers, already on short ra-
tons, read Of enormous dividends
made by lucky corporations. No won
der they riot.

(This is the third article by the
Daily Tribunes correspondent, who is
touring Europe and describing the
conditions that will influence the final
peace terms.)
The Hague, Holland, July 2S.-To
be between the millstones is no sweet
berth for man or a nation. Holland
has now had two years OF it and is
ready to swear she has had enough.
| A great nation involved in a great
war has troubles no end, but at least
| it can see course to steer. A small
nation trying to be neutral and jam
med between great warning nations
has never chance to sleep on its
maddening worries.
| In way Holland has made money
out Of the war They say the nations
nominal wealth in two years has
doomed up more than half a billion
dollars. But nation can pay too
high for the making Of money, and
Holland sees that instead Of having
Iany kind Of good thing of this she
lhas merely been stung.
Most of the money has been made
by the great joint stock companies
transportation, some kinds of manu-
featuring, ship building. Dividends
have been declared that caused con.
sentative Hollanders to stare and
Igasp-60, 70, Is per cent, until it
seemed like dream.
| Also many farmers have made mon.
ey, many rural shopkeepers and some
smugglers. .....
| But the bulk Of the population, be.
ing here as everywhere the workers,
finds it is worse off than ever.
The cost of living has scared to
dizzy heights, but in most trades
workers are getting no more.
There have been great popular de,
monstrations in The Hague and other
cities; peaceful, if meaning a lot. But
in Rotterdam and Amsterdam have
been alarming riots, and this is the
sign they can't neglect, the statesmen.
HOllanders> don't riot without strong
reasons.
The reason here is that conditions
are becoming more than the average
worker can stand.
Some kinds of meat, for instance,
are up 400 per cent. Almost all kinds
have aeroplaned out of the reach of
the average workers family. Cereals
are up about so per cent, except rice,
which is much higher. Even vege-
tables, produced abundantly and so
easily in Holland, are steadily rising.
So is cheese.
What the rioters demanded, and
thousands of others want, is that the
government shall take over the con-
troll of the food supply and keep the
poorer people from starving.
The government, which is pretty
|astute, all things considered, hangs
back on this because it doesn't want
