Administration Declared to be Weak
and Not Neutral by GA. COnyen-

DAUSS REPRESENTS WATERFOWL

Resolutions criticising the Wilson
administration as being partial to the
allies in the matter of munitions ship

the defense of the United States were
adopted by the Wisconsin branch of

The proposition was submitted again
and was adopted by the convention

PLAN TO TEACH FLYING
Uncle Sans Experts Will Instruct
Civilians.
Applicants for Training, However,
Must Agree to Become off'eers IN
the Aviation Reserve Corps at
End Of Schooling.

Civilians who meet the requirements
of Uncle Sam will have an opportunity
to become experienced aviators at the
expense of the government, according
to plans that are being prepared by the
aviation branch of the United States
Signal corps In compliance with the act
Of congress appropriating s13,OOO.OOO

tion corps.
For the aviation section Of the Signal
Officers Reserve corps it is proposed

to second lieutenant. Those who
aspire to be officers may be taught to
fly at the expense Of the government.
Applicants must be from twenty-one

didate Is considered desirable he Will
be examined physically, mentally and
morally. The physical test will be the
same as that required for officers OF
the regular army who want to serve
In the Aviation corps. In the mental

establish the fact that he has "the
equivalent of college education
The candidate must state In writing

war may order reserve officers to duty
for periods not exceeding Is days
year. While so serving the officers will
be paid the same as the respective
grades In the army.

THE GARDENS 0vERC0AT
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.


What lover OF the garden Is there
who has not every year faced with
more or less trepidation the question
Of putting the garden In Its oyercoat,
Or, 10 be more In line with the bromide
expression of the years, into winter
quarters?
Getting around In the spring to find
cherished plants dead and withered
Is like coming back to the home town
to get tidings that old friends have
died. There is more or less emptiness
IN the proceeding.
These troubles may be avoided with
little thought. In November and De-
rember when the ground has been
slightly frozen. the garden may be
safely put into winter quarters.
Many plants do not require much at,
tention or protection. and others which
need some protection will be killed
With too much coddlIng.
There Is something appealingly hu'
man about flowers that makes them
follow individual types and prefer.
ences.
Almost all rosebushes will &c
through winter nicely II earth Is
thrown up around them to the depth OF
nearly n foot just before the ground
freezes. A few inches of leaves OF
manure must be added TO the ground
after the freezing weather sets In.
Ten roses in the North will not stand
much cold, and IL Is best TO place them
In pots and set them In cool cellar
Many Of the tea roses will bloom all
winter If kept In moderately warm
room. The rambler roses will gene
rally 90 through the winter without
protection. In the instances OF the
newer climbers, which may be hurt II
is good plan to lay them fiat on the
earth aud cover with foot Of earth
as matter of insurance.
New Buddlelns, or summer lllacs,
can be treated just like the roses. They
will be killed back, to be sure, but II
they have been well protected with
earth they will make quick start in
the coming spring and by the end OF
July will be In bloom again. Many d
time people have dug up the roots
The Raymer enterprise., 1916-11-23

thinking them dead, when all In the
world they wanted was to be let alone.
Rhododendrons are often winter
killed. In many cases they die because
they get too much attention. Mound
up leaves around them, the higher the
better, first wetting the ground thor
oughly. Sun-scald. which causes much
damage, can be avoided by setting up
boards to the south Of the valuable
specimens. Straw mats, or mats made
from burlap bags will protect English
Ivy. anonymous vegeta, the handsome
new climber which Is being largely
substituted for English Ivy, does not
seem to need any protection In any sec
ton.
The perennial beds would not require
any protection If snow would only fall
at the beginning of the season and stay
until spring.
The alternate freezing nnd thawing
does the mischief. Peonies, German
iris, phlox and poppies Of the Oriental
type really need no covering. Their
roots are strong. A light oyereoat OF
leaves, straw or pine boughs. however.
is good for many of The perennials. A
heavy blanket will not permit yentila-
ton.
Some OF the finest perennials. like
japanese anemones and tritoma, are
sensitive to cold and are safest In a

To make the red man a productive

the nation is the object Of the yoca-
tional training which has been intro
duced by Uncle Sam into all the In
dian schools Of the country. The chill
dren Of the original Americans are now
being given the benefit Of what gov
ernment officials believe to be the best
vocational training offered by any
school system In the United States.
The new system Of training for Uncle
Sans young girls Is being developed
under the supervision Of Cato Sells,
head Of the bureau Of Indian affairs OF
the department Of the interior. Mr..
Sells is giving much attention to this
feature Of the bureaus work and Is
confident that 1t will produce very
beneficial results.

The system. recently devised, Is di-
vided into three divisions. The first Is
the beginning stage, the second the
finding stage and the third the finish

periods the training Is domestic and In

conditions essential TO the improve

lar academic subjects boys are required
TO take practical courses in farming,
gardening, dairying. farm carpentry,
farm blacksmithing. farm engineering,
farm masonry, farm painting and shoe
and harness repairing. and all girls are
required to take courses In home cook
ing. sewing. laundering. nursing, poul-
try raising and kitchen gardening.
This course not only prepares the
Indian youth for industrial efficiency,
but at the same time helps them TO
find those activities for which they are
best adapted and to which they should
apply themselves definitely during the
vocational period, the character and
amount of academic work being deter
mined by its relative value and impor-
lance as means of solving the prob
lens Of the farmer, mechanic and
housewife.
Nonessentials Eliminated.
Nonessentials are eliminated. One
half Of each day is given to industrial
training and the other half to academic
studies. All effort Is directed toward
training Indian boys and girls for ef-
fcIent and useful lives under the con-
dltlons which they must meet after
leaving school. Other subjects to which
this course directs special attention
are health. motherhood and child well
fare. ciyics. community meetings and
extension work.
After their long course Of search,
the experts Of the Indian office who
have been In the closest touch with this
work say that they came to the conclu-
sion that the economic needs Of all
people-and Of the Indian especially
demand that the schools provide for
