CONSIDERING the many millions of
dollars accumulated by a goodIy num-
Der of citizens OF our country through
the golden opportunities which the
European war has afforded them, is it
unreasonable to contend now this coun-
try is involved in the terrific struggle
for human liberty, that our war debt
should be met as we go, by a special
levy on those fellows who have grown
immensely rich lover night" This,
according to some prominent financial
calculator. could be done and then
leave the lucky fellows in independent
circumstances They owe it to the
country for aiIording said opportunity.
Uunder these conditions and the great
wealth of our country in conjunction,
it would be a lasting shame to leave a
war debt Tor future generations to pay

THE government will tax tobaccos
about fifty millions more to help in
meeting the war costs Of the nation.
This would bring the total paid by the
tobacco industries, up to hundred and

ONE legistive bin making all property
owners liable for damages if anyone
slips on ice or snow that may be on
their sidewalks, is only in aid OF black
mailers It is the easiest thing in the
world to trump up big damage claims.
Besides, the law now gives the injured
a remedy. The progressed law is a fair
sample of slip.shod legislation. State
laws and city ordinances which bear
heavily on city property owners are be
coming SO numerous that the desire to
own city property is at a low ebb.

HOUSE, LAWN AND GARDEN.

House plants that are buggy and
shaggy and refuse to improve should
be thrown out. They are an eye
sore. Better demolish the window gar
den than to mock nature with the VIC
Tins OF ignorance or neglect.
A pretty combination in the way Of
plants for table decoration Is to plant
a dracaena In the center and surround
II with small ferns, peperonia, a
saxifrage, and locopodium. They
are agreeable to one another and
thrive with the same treatment.
Any time during the winter when
the canes are not frozen prune and tie
up grape and ornamental climbers.
This work should not be delayed until
growth starts. as 1t will then injure
the vines.
II you find punches Of dead leaves
hanging In the trees, remove them.
They contain destructive young
larvae. Spray II you see evidence Of
the scale.
II leaves strew the lawn. do not de-
stroy them. They protect the grass.
Plan TO have plenty Of flowers next
summer, but If you are restricted In
your desire, determine to begin a
hardy, herbaceous border. This should
consist Of hardy, early and late bloom
Ing bulbs and perennlals. As such
q border Is intended to be undisturbed
for years, perhaps, It should be deeply
spaded and well MANFRED.
If you suspect that your trees-fruit,
nut and ornamental-are troubled with
aphis or bark-louse, wash the trunk
and lower branches with soapsuds or
I've water. Whitewash is also effec-
tive In keeping the trees healthy, but
most Of US object to whitening the
tree trunks.
Order trees, seeds, plants and nur-
sery stock early and secure the va
rieties you want, the best stock and
exactly what you ask for.
Remember that nothing "just hap
pens"

Eve are not going to cut very deeply

"Here, here-hold on" interrupted
the bank president; you're hitting II

Smith laughed easily. IF We were

might have to 90 into preliminaries
and particulars. Mr.. Kinzie. We are
not alone In the fight for the water

chair which Smith had just vacated
"You mustn't 60 of at half-cock, that
way. You'll need bank here to d.

Smith did not sit down. Instead, HI
smiled genially and fired his final shot
"No, Mr.. Kinzie; We shan't need &

counts I don't know but that 1t woult
be better for us not to have one"
"Slt down." insisted the bank presi
dent; and this time he would take NJ
denial. Then he turned abruptly upor

How much is this young friend of our

to limit himself carefully as to guam

Again the banker made a comica
bristle brush of his cropped mustache

While planning your garden, give
due attention to the color of the fow-

goodly supply Of white and neutral
flowers to separate the clashing col.

Two perennials which are most
beautiful and satisfactory are the Bur-
bank daisy and the lovely cherry-red,
hardy carnation pink. You make no
mistake In ordering them.
Do not allow the water In which the
plants and bulbs are grown to become
sour or they will suffer. Change 1t
often and keep a few pieces Of char
coal In 1t.
Be careful to remove all flowers as
soon as they begin to fade. Leaves
that show any decay should be cut
and burned. They are apt to en-
