The Birmingham plant will operate at the beginning three large auto trucks. Quite a large commissary trade has al- ready been secured. An advertising cam paign has been mapped out and in ad- dition to large newspaper space this company will use billboards, street cars and walls wherever obtainable.
 The new plant will have a capacity of 1000 cases per day and as rapidly as the business grows will extend this plant to meet the increased demand The com pany will be under the management of P. B. Dana, who organized and until quite recently managed the Michigan Parfay company in Detroit. MT. Dana has had a vast experience Tn the hand ling of national advertising accounts and is a thorough believer in advertising 1t was through advertising that the Detroit company was built up to the point where it is the largest bottler of soft drinks ir that part of the country. MT. Dana be- lieves that Parfay has a wonderful fu- ture in the south.

STEAMER ORLEANS
 ARRIVES SAFELY IN AME ERICAN PORT
Made Round Trip Through Danger Zone Without Sighting a German
 Submarine

-, March 31.-The American steam ship Orleans, one of the first vessels to carry the United States flag through the danger zone created by Germany's sub marine decree of February 1, arrived at an American port today, having safely made round trip to and from Bordeaux.
 Captain Allan D. Tucker reported that no submarines were sighted either on the voyage to France or on the homeward trip. The Orleans sailed from New York February 10, with full cargo of general exports. Her departure so soon after Germany had declared certain European waters closed to traffic, was regarded as a defiance of the edict. Her arrival at Bordeaux on February 26 was made the occasion of a sem-oficial celebration, and Captain Tucker and his crew were feted as heroes
 The ship was not armed. She carried crew of 34 men, of whom eight were American citizens.

If we wage war with Germany we should make it plain to the German peo- pie that we do not regard them as re- sponsible for our differences, that we be- lieve that it is a condition brought about by their military rulers; that We bear them no malice; that we would gladly welcome them to the sisterhood of re- pubics, and that if they shall achieve control of their own affairs, our contest with them will soon be ended.
 That we can almost immediately evolve forces that will potentially affect the re- suit of the present war is manifest. Through our finances our factories. our shipping, our light seacraft. airplanes and nay, we can soon become a powerful fac tor.
 ''The only way to impose the burden of national defense is by universal train ing and by universal services. It is not democratic to leave the sacrifice to be borne alone by volunteers. We should here and now let Congress know where we stand on this question. If we go in it must be with all our might We should have no war, or should wage war to the limit of our power.
 'Tt is said that President Wilson will merely present the facts to Congress and make no recommendation. I don't believe it. The American people look for leader- ship. I believe that our President will lead eourageouslY in a way that Ameri- cans who are lovers of their country can proudly follow"

 CONGRESSMEN IN DARK On the eve of the new session, all sena- tors and representatives professed com plete ignorance of details of the Presi- dents plans for action. They were unani- nous in predicting that a declaration of existence of a state of war is probable, but beyond this they appear to have little notion of what Congress will do or will be asked to do.
 The first expression of congressional sentiment is expected from the House. Such resolution as will be suggested by the President may include an emer- sency appropriation, which would have to pass the House first, and in addition the moral force of afS-rmative action by
 the House would give the resolution greater initial impetus, many members believed than if the Senate should begin the discussion.
 Whether the new cloture rule Of the Senate would be needed in consideration of the resolution is speculative. It is re- Sarded certain that the so-called pacifist group in the Senate, including those who opposed the armed neutrality measure will occupy considerable time in debate. Senator Stone, however, indicated today by Congress. and would call the foreign relations committee together immediately after the President delivers his address.

They urged the government without further delay to equip existing American troops and those to be raised, with the most modern ap- pliances of war so that in equipment and effectiveness our army and navy shall be second to none"
 committee, headed by Jacob M. Dick inson, former Secretary of War, who was chairman of the mass meeting, and de- livered keynote address, was appointed to lay the resolutions before President Wilson.
 MT Dickinson said in part:
 American citizenship is in danger of becoming a term of worldwide con tempt. The United States must vindicate it's right to be a nation by protecting the property and lives of its citizens against unjust aggression.

 Although the survivors say the Ger mans did not mistreat them they report that their captors invented fantastic tales regarding the war to put them out of sorts.

FOR THIRSTY GARDENS
Windmill Plays important Part in
Production of Food.
Lack Of Timely Rainfall 10 Often
Doom Of Otherwise Carefully Han
died and Tended Patch-con-
serve Water Pumped.

That the farm windmill should play
an important part this year In the
great d-production campaign, Is the
belief Of II. B. Walker, drainage and
irrigation engineer, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"The farm windmill should be no
Stacker this year." said Professor
Walker. 1T should be ready day and
night to absorb the energy Of the wind
to lift water for thirsty gardens. Lack
Of timely rainfall is often the doom Of
an otherwise carefully handled and
tended vegetable garden.
"This year the farm garden will be
an important factor in reducing the
cost Of living. Accordingly, every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent a
failure Of the garden crops. In those
areas where the natural rainfall is not
dependable. some simple method Of ir-
rigation should be provided"
The farm windmill will serve faith
fully and well In lifting water for ir-
rigation II given an opportunity, Pro
fessor Walker pointed out. This faith
full source Of farm power, however, will
not save the garden unless the owner
co-operates in conserving the water
pumped. The average windmill lifts
water intermittently and at slow
rate. Consequently. II the water
pumped Is allowed to flow directly onto
the warm, dry soil. small area only
can be satisfactorily covered. A small
trickling flow does not spread laterally
over the surface of the soil, but 1t per
colates deeply into the soil beyond the
reach Of the shallow-rooted vegetables.
II the water lifted, on the other
hand, Is stored In tanks, barrels, or
reservoirs, a volume sufficiently large
can be secured In q surprisingly short
time to effectively irrigate a much
larger area. A barrel Of water con-
tanning S1h gallons will cover q gar
den bed six feet wide by eight feet
long. one inch deep. A quantity Of
water even as small as this, II properly
applied, will greatly help the lettuce
bed or the shallow-rooted radishes. It
is advisable. therefore, to use even
an ordinary barrel for storage. If moth
Ing larger is available, in preference to
direct pumping.
A reservoir sufficiently large to hold
all Of the water the average windmill
can pump in three or four days Is
much more desirable.

Sunicient food is essential. Every

although any white honey is good.
Dark honey should be used sparingly
