NORTHFIELD, April 3.-The office

facturers, was damaged by fire and wa
ter early Sunday morning, and il is
believed that the fire was started by
electricity running in on the wires dur
ing the short electrical storm. The
fire was not discovered until three-quar-
ters Of an hour after the storm. but it
is THOUGHT that the fire smouldered for
some time before being famed into
flames. There was scarcely any fire
in the furnace after Saturday afternoon
and when the Waterman made his rounds
Spnday morning at 3 clock the FIRE
was all out.
The discovery that the building was
ablaze was made by Miss Helen +
Howe, the assistant postmaster, who
was on her way to the postoffiee. The
alarm was given, and the fremer
turned on several streams of water

CARDIFF, Wales, March %. - Sub
scrIptions from Cardiff to the new Brat
ish war loan amounted to more than
t30, 900 600. an average Of 100 pounds
for every man, woman and child III the
city. This remarkable contribution is
an indication of the golden age which
the war has brought to Cardiff. In no
British city has such vast wealth been
earned so easily and so quickly.
At the outbreak Of the war, Cardiff
had the largest export trade in the coun-
try. Freights began to increase.
ships doubled, trebled, quadrupled in
value. Young business men, enterpris-
ing and daring, bought whole fleets on
n speculative basis which would almost
make a New York curb broker hesitate.
They reaped the reward of their daring
In one case of tramp steamer so
old that il was carried on company s
books at a nominal valuation of 81, was
sold for ESQ, and resold the next day
for an even 100000. In another ease
a steamer bought in the midst of I
voyage for 100000 realized 100000
dock. and was then promptly resold FOL
another profit of 100000.
Among the new millionaires of Car
diff are IA young men who before thu
war were shipping clerks earning no
more than so a week. One of then
had less than 800 in the bank wheI
he bought his first ship, a week afte
the war began, collecting the money 70

amounts from large number of friend

Come on now, boys! Step right U

The bravest in the land,
And take your places side by side
For good Old Uncle Sam.
Though Wilson S long been waiting
And hoping for the best,
We've always relished frankfurts,
And longed TO leave the West.
So make your minds up now, boys.
Whatever comes, veil go,
And stand by Uncle Samuel
To strike a deadly blow.
The Germans they are cute, boys,
And perhaps may make us hot
So rally round the flag, boys,
And load with Yankee shot.
And if they dare attack us
Wei greet them one and all
With red-hot Yankee grape shot,
And perhaps cannon ball.

Expert Advice on Food Gardens

growing plants will remedy poor pre-
liminary preparation of the soil.
Do not dig so deeply that you turn
poor soil on top and bury the rich soil
where the roots cannot reach it. The
spading should seldom be less than
eight inches deep or more than 10.
In determining the time to spade,
squeeze a handful OF dirt and if il
crumblcs when released or dropped il
5 right for working. Use a spading
fork rather than a spade.
If you have been able to procure
manure, work it into the soil while
spading.
The soil probably needs lining fol
sourness One pound of slaked lime is
enough for so square feet, but it should
not be put in at the same time with the
manure. Spread the lime later wher

In most back yard gardens the sol
is too heavy. A good amount of finely
sifted coal ashes, no cinders, worked il
when spading will help 70 pulverizt
such soil, but will lot fertilize it.
Before spading, clear off wood anC
metallic rubbish, but spade in all vege

ST. JOHNsBURY, April 3.-When
Rev. John Dwyer told Mrs. Daniel \.

Cardiff now has passed, however. The
government restrictions on shipping put
a stop to the free and easy dealings
of the first year of the war. Three
fourthS of Cardiff 5 war-created wealth
was piled UP in the first year Of the
war. Nowadays, large proportion of
it's ships are under charter to the gov
eminent at moderate rate, and no
sales of ships may be made without gov
eminent permission. Taxes also eat
heavily into profits. Between the ex-

taken over b. the government.

Spading.

Piny had the right idea. He said:
4" Dig deep; manure we'll; work often. -
Pliny the older would have been a good
gardener. Twenty centuries have
failed to improve on his advice.
Importance of good spading or good
blowing cannot be over-estimated. The
roots of plants must not be cramped
for room if the plant is to thrive.
Moreover the plant feeds through these
roots and all of the plant food in the
soil should be made available by deep
digging. No amount OF cultivation of
