the death of their leader. The term
ronin has been corrupted until today
it signifies men without any fixed oc-
cupation who connect themselves with
political movements. Literally ronin
means wanderer. The men are popu-
larly supposed to be at the service of
politicians or political parties who de-
sire to launch a movement against
the government in power.
The Toxic Asahi and other papers
declare that some political leaders
may be involved in the pl l. upon the
life of Count Okuma. ne Hochi,
which is supposed to be the organ Of
the premier, has even gone so far as
to allege that the would-be assassins
had been given money by a certain
political leader. Public opinion, how
ever, has not determined to its own
satisfaction whether the men acted as
a demonstration against the domestic
policy or foreign dealings of the
Okuma ministry.

Work of Political AgitatOrs.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF the AS
ISOLATED Press).-The belief that the
attempt to assassinate Premier Count
Okuma with bombs on Jan. u was the
work Of political agitators has been
supported by the arrest Of four young
men who embody modern political
radicalism Of a most extreme type.
The affair may prove very serious for
them if convicted because the law of
Japan provides even the death penalty
for those found guilty of stealing ex-
plosives.
According to the police, Umataro
Shimomura is the ringleader of the
band and it was he who actually threw
the bombs at Count Okuma as he was
returning to his residence from
state banquet at the imperial palace.
The other arrested men include Wa
goro Fukuda, newspaper writer;
Jujiro Onikura and Masakichi Wada.
Fukuda, the newspaper writer, has
been leading member of the Peoples
Diplomacy association, which has won
the reputation in recent years of being
always against the government, and
has constantly been demanding a more
aggressive policy towards China. Also.
he is alleged to have been involved in
the riots in Toxic which occurred sub
sequent to the making of the treaty of
Portsmouth on the conclusion of the
war between Russia and Japan. Two
men are alleged to have confessed.
but the details of their confession have
not been made public.
Public opinion is inclined to class
the defendants under the type of mod
ern Japanese known as ''ronins,' The
original AZ ronins were distinguished

mitted suicide after they had avenged

BIG DEMAND FOR NEW
SERIES STUDEBAKERS

Record sales of the new series II
models are reported by the Studebaker
corporation following announcement OF
these cars. In fact, figures show that
more actual orders were received dur
ing the past two weeks than in any
similar previous period.
In anticipation of the big demand
for the new series II Studebaker Skies
and Fours, the factory has been run
nlng full capacity, and more than 5000
OF the latest models have been shipped
since announcement was made. Three
thousand dealers are now showing the
series II cars and selling them as fast
as they come from the factory.
The production schedule for 1916
calls for 100000 of the newly an
nounced models. 1t was originally
planned to build $4,000 cars, and the
schedule was later increased TO $4,000.
Inc demand from dealers on the firing
line forced the factory to still further
increase its contemplated output to
100000 machines.

Chicago, March a. - One thousand
loaves of bre ad will be given away at
the services of the Emmanuel Baptist
church here tomorrow as part of a
campaign to attract persons to the
church.
Rev. tombstone Myers. pastor, said
the loaves will carry the following
biblical quotation on printed labels:
Jesus said unto them l am the
bread of life; he that cometh unto me
shall never hunger"
DR.. Myers believes a church should
advertise just as a mercantile concern
does. He said he obtained his idea at
an advertising convention.

where they are to bloom. Care should
be taken to distribute the seed evenly
and not in punches, for if there is
much disturbance Of the roots at the
time of thinning, the plants will not
do so well as when left undisturbed.
The Shirley poppy, very snowy and
attractive variety, may be obtained in
many colors. The individual blossoms,
however, are very short lived, and as
compared with many other plants its
blooming season is short. The plants
are so attractive when in bloom, how
ever, that they are we'll worth plant
ing. A succession of sowings will pro-
long the blooming season.
The California poppy should also be
sown early, but does not require as
early sowing as the other peoples. 1t
is handsome and will bloom during a
longer period than the Shirley poppy.
The other plants in the list may be
sown in seed bed and be transplanted
from there to the permanent location,
but 1t is usually better to sow the seed
in the permanent location.
Balsams or ladys slippers, castor
beans and portulacd also are best sown
where they are to grow but they
should not be put in the ground until
it is warm enough to grow beans and
tomatoes we'll, that is, about the time
corn is coming up or oak leaves are
half grown. These plants could be
grown in cold frame previous to this
date, but there is little to be gained
from this method. Farmers bulletin
1875 treats fully of these plants.

New York March 4.-When Henry
Morgenthau, ambassador to Turkey,
arrived in New York on a 60-day leave
Of absence from his post, he was met
at the pier by a special messenger from
the state department who carried a re-
quest that the envoy be most guard
ed in what he might say.
The request was quite superhuous,
for no diplomat could have talked
more. and said less that lie should
not. than MIR Morgenthau did when
newspaper men gathered about him.
Denying with sharp emphasis that any
basis existed for report that he might
succeed to the war portfolio, the am

Time FOR ANNUAL
HOTbED PLANTING
Department OF Agriculture Specialists
Issue Valuable Directions to
Flower Fans.
THERE SHOULD BE No DELAYS
Warning is Given to Exercise Care
Against Possible Heavy Frosts
Before Using Ground.
THERE SHOULD BE No DELAYS

Many garden lovers who are envious
of their neighbors' earlier blooms fail
TO realize that they can do many things
even in February to give some of their
plants an earlier start. Those who own
hotbeds or cold frames, the specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture says, should see to it that
their annual Towering plants are
started at once. This advice applies to
those flowers TO be used later in beds
and to those grown for cut flowers.
Some OF the flowers which give
particularly good results if starte1 in
hotbeds or cold frames are: ageratum,
alyssum, aster, calandula or pot mari
gold. CalliOpsis, campanula, castor
bean, chrysanthemum, cockscomb;
cosmos, four o'clock, godetia, mari
gold. petunia, sweet William, Scotch
pink. scarlet sage and verbena.
The seed of some of the flowers list
ed below need not be started in hot
beds. but can be sown later in the sea-
son in the open ground and then
transplanted to their permanent To-
cations. The seed Of these flowers
should not he sown until the ground
is in condition for making a good seed
bed and until there is no longer like
lihOOd of a heavy frost in the locality
A good test to determine whether the
garden soil can be worked we'll is to
take up 4 mass of it in the hand and
compact it into a ball. II this ball
readily falls apart, the ground is dry
enough to be worked. 1t is particular
ly important in planting flowers to
spade up the ground, fine it thorough
ly with hoe and rake and remove the
stones and Jumps from it. The actual
surface should be made very fine and
soft. In planting each kind Of seed the
directions as to depth OF planting
should be carefully followed Flowers
that can be sOwn in this way are:
Ageratum. alyssum. aster, pot mari
gold, calliopsis, campanula, clarkia
tshade), cockscomb, dahlias (single)
godetia, gaillardi, mignonette. pansy
pinks, rudbeckia, snapdragon, stocks,
zinnias.
Those That Die.
Most of these may be sown earlier
in hOtbed or cold frame and thus be
made to bloom earlier.
Certain other flowers die or do not
do well if they are transplanted. These
therefore should be sown only in the
open ground or beds where the plants
are to grow. The varieties which it is
best 10 sow in permanent location
are: California poppy, candytuft, corn
flower, foTgetmenOt lObelia, memo
phila (shade), phloX drummondi, sun
flower, sweet peas.
Sweet peas should be in the ground
as soon at. is dry enough to work. The
soil should be spaded up and we'll pre-
pared and then trench should be dug
four inches deep; in the bottom of this
the peas should be planted about two
inches apart. When the peas are tC
