of Peace and Normal Conditions
viii Come Gradually.
Washington, Dec. Ain the most
comprehensive review of foreign
trade conditions ever prepared by
any governmental agency the federal
trade commission expressed the opin-
ion that the much discussed after-the-
war commercial competition from Eu-
rope will not be likely to come for
peace.
High costs OF raw materials, in
creased taxes, probably higher wages,
to say nothing of the capital and
stocks of material necessary to re-
pair the wastages of war, the report
says, are expected to delay the full
power of European competition until
1T regains its normal state.
Laws to put the American exporter
on a footing with his foreign rival
by authorization of collective foreign
selling agencies are recommended.
A brief summary of the report made
public last May, While ii still was in
complete, recommended such legisla-
tion. and was followed by introduc-

TEUTONS Make
FURTHER GAINS
Defeat RoumanianS in Ad=
vance on Bucharest.
RUSSIANS TAKE BRIDGE

Gain Possession Of Only Structure
Over Danube for Distance Of Six
Hundred Miles and May Attempt to
Outfiank Austro- Germans.
London, Dec. A great battle has
developed in Western Roumania The
Austro-German army, advancing from
the region Of Campulung. has defeated
the Roumanians in pitched battle
breaking through their lines. says the
German official statement
More than 5000 Roumanians have
been captured in Western Roumania,
together with forty-nine cannon. In
the advance toward Bucharest the
Teutonic forces have reached the
Argechu river.
The Russians have gained posses
sion of the western part of Tcherna-
voda bridge across the Danube, it is
announced officially by the Russian
war office.
South Of Bucharest the Teutonic
forces have been driven back. the
statement says, and the villages of
Tzomana and Gostinaria have been
recaptured.
The Tchernavoda bridge, the only
one across the Danube for a distance
OF 500 miles from the Black sea. was
taken control of by Field Marshal Won
Mackensen after the defeat of the
Russian -Roumanian army In Dobrudja
and the capture of Constanza and
Tchernavoda late In October
Carries Sole Railway Line.
Over it passes the sole railway line
directly connected Bucharest with the
Black sea and its capture by Won
Mackensen cut communications be-
tween Roumania and Russia by this
land and water route.
The threat to the Roumanians comes
from Field Marshal Won Mackensen
on the southeast.
Controlling virtually the entire
course of the Danube as far as Tcher-
navoda, as they do. the Teutonic al
lies, 1t has been pointed out. seemed
likely to attempt throwing forces
across 1t at points further and fur
ther east. to outflank each line taken
up by the Roumanians as they retired
under the pressure OF Won Falken-
hayn's forces from the north and west
and such of Won Mackensens troops
as were already on the north bank
of the river.
Indications point to the probability
that two fanking operations on a
large scale are in progress on the
Roumanian front.
The one apparently is intended by
the Russians to save King Ferdinand 8
armies and possibly his capital and
the other by the Teutonic allies to
force the evacuation of Bucharest and
cut off the troops defending It.

MAKE GRADE CROSSINGS sAEE.

Railroads' to Appear. Before State
uttities Commission.
'Denver.-The State Public Utilities
Commission instituted an action
against the penver & 1nterurban and
the Colorado & Southern railroads,
.summoning them to appear before 1t
to show cause why both should not in
stall safety devices and signals on
their grade crossings between Den
yer and Boulder.
1t is pointed out that since the first
of the year a dozen or more persons
have lost their lives on the grade
crossings in collisions between the
trains and automobiles, or buggies.
The investigation now ordered by
the Public Utilities Commission is
the direct result of the collision be-
tween an automobile and Denver &
Interurban inbound electric train on
the Federal boulevard crossing, when
Mrs. John Bonnell and Mrs. Ethel B.
Ellis, both of Tulsa, Okla, were in.
stantly killed. Mrs. Bonnelrs son,
Thomas w. Bonnell, and J. w. Ellis,
whose wife was killed, have an
nounced their determination to sue
the railroad.
The Public Utilities Commission, ac-
cording to Secretary George F. w.
Oxley, purposes to eliminate all dan
ger at railroad grade crossings and
to bring about the installation of the
proper protection signals. The rail-
roads, however, will be given an op-
portunity to present their side of the
case and to explain the responsibility
they consider rests upon the accident
victims themselves.

MONEY IN COTTAGE GARDENS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

When lived in the country we used
to send scores of nosegays to market,
priced from FIVE to ten cents. We
could not supply them fast enough,
and If people cared to grow common
flowers or pot plants and sell them
outside railway station. for instance,
they could do well with them now.
Make your own leaf mold. When
sod is removed from the ground for
any purpose. shake out the fine soil
that adheres to it for future use, or
slice off the fine roots with a sharp
knife just below the crown Of the
grass.
This is known as fibrous loan and
in combination with leaf mold, old
manure and fine sharp sand makes the
very best pottlng soil.
Throw the top of the sods in heap
in some out-of-the-way corner, and add
the rakings Of the yard in fall and
spring, all weeds pulled during the
summer, all refuse Of vegetables, pota-
to parings, apple peelings, corn husks
and berry hulls. anything that is vege-
table matter md will decay.
All dishwater and slOps that are not
needed on the garden should be thrown
on the pile, which should be turned oc-
caslonally during the winter.
By the following spring you will
have the finest kind of leaf mold.
Not all the pile will have decayed,
but along the edges and underneath 1t
will be found ready for use.
Add to 1t every bit Of available veg
etable matter during the year, includ-
ing the annual flowers pulled up after
their season of bloom. Add tops of
such root plants us cannas, caladiums,
gladioli. and you will soon have sup
ply quite adequate to the needs of the
ordinary garden.
Where there are waterworks the
hose may be turned on frequently to
hasten composition.
If it is impossible to replace all poor
soil in the garden with better, by the
addition of leaf mold and manure
much may be accomplished in the way
of building up and rendering it suit.

LATE SUMMER WORK NOTES
ev e. VAN eENrHuYsEN.


Watch the tender greenhouse plants
that are in the open and take them up
before the last days of summer have
passed.
Have the pots ready for the bulbs
which must be taken up soon.
Insects win now begin to attack the
scarlet runner and other flowers of
that nature and they must be watched
carefully.
The dahlias, gladioli and other rank
growing plants are likely to be blown
down by the wind and should be
staked.
Unless chrysanthemums are shaded
during the hot month Of August they
will be injured by the sun.
Drench the ground around the tea
roses, but do not spray the bushes.
Roses of all kinds should be thor
oughly manured with well-rOtted COW
manure and mulched with lawn cut
tngs and leaves.
LIQUID manure should be applied
only when the ground is moist enough
to absorb it.
It is fatal to some plants to fertilize
them with rich manures when the
ground is very dry.
Never allow roses to remain on the
bush when the petals begin to fall.
All plants that are intended for win
ter bloomers should have the buds
pinched off now.
Pick pansies and nasturtiums every
day If you want to have plenty of
blooms.
When the lilacs have finished bloom
ing, all the seed clusters should be
cut away If the seed is allowed to
develop on the lilac 1t generally has
few flowers in every other year.
The best way to kill weeds now is
to pull them up by hand.
The redbug and other enemies of the
rose, If not killed off last month should
be effectually removed now. An ex-
cellent spray for rose bushes is made
Of one-half pound of laundry soap
melted in hot water to which is added
one cupful of kerosene. When this
comes to boil. use about one part to
fifteen parts of water.
Scrnpe up road dust and apply about
the roots of your plants during the hot
soil. Lawn clippings make an excel
lent mulch for the larger plants and
shrubs.
Save the grass clippings from the
lawn tc serve as mulch for the bed
of ten roses. These plants like to have
the soil about their roots cool and
moist. Spread the grass over the bed
to depth OF two or three inches.
When it withers. work it into the soil
to act as n fertilizer as it decays and
apply fresh clippings.
Cuttings from the geranium may be
made all through August in most eli
mates.
In dry season don't NOW the lawn
MS often as in a sbowery one. Regu-
late the frequency of your moving
by the appearance of the grass. Aim
to keep 1t looking green and velvety.

eio Sum In Niekels and Pennies.

Big Sum In NiekeIs and Pennies.
The most enormous demand for
nickels and pennies ever known is
now deluging the United States treas
ury Department, and the mint in Den
yer is breaking all records for activity
in manufacturing those coins. The
mint is working day and night and
Sundays. There is every indication
that the rush will continue three
months At present the Denver mint
is making only nickels and pennies
Each day it turns out $4,000 in
nickels and $4,000 in pennies. These
coins are shipped east at intervals
no one but the officials in charge of
the mint know when. If the present
activity is continued three months
as Superintendent Thomas Annear
says undoubtedly it will-the Denver
mint will have coined 100000 in
nickels and $1SO,O00 in pennies, a to-
tai of $1,OSO,OO0 of these small coins.
This would amount to 36,000,O0O in
dividual coins.

Heavy shower. Benefit Crops.

Last weeks weather and crop bull
letin says that during the week mod
crate to heavy showers occurred on
one or more days in all parts Of the
state. In the southeastern counties,
where moisture was urgently needed,
heavy rains were general. Alfalfa
hay and grain in the shock were dam
aged by showers on the western slope
during the early part of the week and
in some eastern counties near the
close of the week. Sunshine was
ample in all sections. Ranges, corn
and alfalfa improved steadily. Po-
tatoes are in good condition general
;ly, except the early planted crop in
eastern counties. The harvesting of
oats and wheat continues in many
parts of the state and thrashing is in
progress in eastern counties. Fruit
is generally in satisfactory condition,
but the crop is reported to be light
in localities. A fine quality Of FL
berta peaches is being shipped from
the western slope. Melons and canta-
loupes are in good condition and su-
gar beets are excellent.

The Long-Range Submarine.

Extreme pacifsts who have no de-
sire for the armament of this country
against possible foreign foe will find
food for reflection in the arrival of a
large German submarine at Baltimore
Naturally a vessel that can cross the
seas for a peaceful commercial purpose,
with a capacity to dodge under the sur
face whenever sighted by warcraft, can
cross for hostile purposes as we'll The
mere fact that such a vessel has come
indicates that the coast of this country
may be at any time struck by a vessel
capable of destroying shipping within
harbors and defensive fleets. 1t is not
a pleasant thought to contemplate, yet
it must be borne in mind as one of the
possibilities Of the future. The Deutsch-
land proves that no longer is a subma-
rine tied to a home base by short
cruising radius. American naval plans
are necessarily affected by this demon
stration.
