Clean Gardens in the Fall

Garden cleaning in the fall is as
important in it's way as houseclean-
ing in the spring, whether flowers
or vegetables make up the garden
plot. The achievement of garden
cleanliness at this season will often
do much toward lnsuring healthi-
ness and thriftiness Of plants during
the next growing season. The fol-
iage and branches of plants which
have been attacked by disease or
badly infested by insect pests
should be cleaned up especially
well and burned.
If it is possible or desirable to
clean away plants from some por-
tions Of the garden before frost,
such areas may well be sown to rye
as cover crop, the growth to be
turned under in early spring. In
cidentally, also, the patches of green
will give the otherwise bare garden
a clearly and more cheerful appear
ance during the winter.
It is after frost that cleaning is
most needed in the garden. When
annual plants have, been nipped,
those that may harbor disease or
insect pests should be cut, down or
dug up and burned. If the soft
leaved plants which will rot easily
are free from disease and insects
they may be turned under advan-
ltageousely at this time. It is not
we'll, however, to turn underttree
leaves especially such tough leaves
as those from oaks. These make
valuable compost when rotted, but
usually require two years for prop
er decomposition. They should be
collected and placed in a compost
pile or pit maintained in a conven-
lent location. Soil, wood ashes,
lime, and fresh manure should be
mixed in the compost heap.
The fall is the time also to cut
down asparagus bushes. This
should be done after the foliage
dies. The old canes of black rasp-
berries also should be cut out at
this time. If there is reason to be-
lieve that the trimmings harbor
disease spores or insects, they
should be burned. Rhubarb leaves
should be removed in late fall and
crowns mulched with straw OF
manure.

but they forget it does satisfy those
who believe the United States should
live up to the principles it has pro-
fessed for century and more.
National Honor.
In desperation for a slogan our OPP
ponents try to create an issue out Of
national honor.
Now national honor is not the whim
of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite SEN
timent, the composite reason of a
whole people feeling the emotions of
nature and following the dictates Of
God.
And 1t is for this reason that the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution of the United
States. not on the individual will of
president. but on the composite rea-
son. the representative decision of
"the congress of the United States"
Some Preparedness Ideas.
The genius of this country is for
peace. There is no danger of mill
tarism.
We have built our greatness on the
resources of nature and the peace
full toll OF our people.
With US war has never been q
choice, 1t has always been fate.
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk of war so high in the
sky that no mans hand could ever
pull 1t down. But when some other
tribe among the races of men sends
us a bundle of arrows wrapped in
the skin of rattlesnake, we want to
be in a position to send that rattle
snakes skin back stuffed with powder
and with ball
We deprecate the compulsion but
man on the beat. the safe in the
bank and the watchdog on the farm.
The war across the seas has
brought home to us the fear that SO
long as men are men and nations ma
lions, wars will continue.
For these reasons this administers.
ton has done more for our army and
our navy than any administration In
our history. 3aM
The Democratic party advocates and
seeks preparedness. but 1t is prepared
mass for defense. not preparedness
for aggression.
Our National Soul.
These, then, are the principles that
have been asserted and followed by
the president of the United States
during the past two years-that the
United States shall not embroil it
self in European strife. that the Unit
ed States shall endeayor to maintain
friendly and cordial relations with ev
cry other nation and that the. United
States shall firmly assert and main
tain and be prepared to assert and

Shortly after midnight It was an
nounced that no progress had been
made toward fusion of the two parties.
The Republican members of this
committee were Senator Reed Smoot

from Massachusetts: Senator William
e. Borah of Idaho, Nicholas Murray

Nominating speeches began In the
Republican convention about three
o'clock Friday afternoon, and nomina-
tfons were closed before eight o'clock.
Balloting began at once. Two ballots
were taken before adjournment for the
night.
The Progressive convention opened
at exactly the same time the Republi-
cans started their meeting. Tempo
rary Chairman Raymond Robins deliv-
cred the Progressive policy speech.
Routine business followed-but IL
wasn't routine in the same way as the
Republican session was. The Progress
sives. with such men as William Allen
White, Victor Murdoch and Hiram
Johnson. were loudly enthusiastic.
This convention was really an explo-
sive affair--cheers, table pounding,
radical talk and all that.
1t is said that George W. Perkins
and some others of the Progressive
group had hard time keeping the
radical element from nominating
Colonel Roosevelt shortly after the
show started. The conservatives lived
in the hope OF fusion with the Re-
publicans. The radicals said they
didn't care what the Republicans did.
They wanted Teddy" and they want
ed him quick There was no dicker
ing spirit In these fellows.

George w. Perkins and other Progress

.GREEN CHEESE" MOON TONIGHT
Various Hues viii Appear During
Eclipse, According to Prof. Doo-
little, of U. of p.

The moon will pass through the earth's
shadow tonight and will taken on hues
ranging from a copper color to possibly an
emerald green. according to Professor Eric
Doollttle, head of the University of Penn
sylvania department of astronomy.
The hours of eclipse will be from 10. min
utes and IS seconds after 10 o'clock until
l2 minutes and 80 seconds after / O'Clock
tomorrow morning The deepest shadow
will be recorded at 45 minutes and 81 sec
onds after IL O'Clock,
The reasons for the various hues which
will appear tonight, and incidentally the
origin OF the statement that the moon is
made OF green cheese is that rays OF sun
light, passing through the earths atmOs-
phere are bent so that they strike on the
darkened surface of the moon, giving the
weird light effects,
Another eclipse is due this month, but no
one in this part of the world will see it. It
will come on July 20, when the moon will
be directly before the face of the sun Aus
traIians and Tasmanians viii get a good
view OF it.
