American tobacco, but you save $33 a month soldier nearly two whole days pay. You are well, your pock- cts jingle, you are safe from Prus- sian bullets, gas and shrapnel-can you let the men who are sacrificing all to afford you this protection go without the pleasure they derive from tobacco?
 H. V. Bahlau and Mack Cook of the Riley Feed company yesterday proved how they feel about this. They sent in check for $25-enough to buy tobacco for 100 soldiers. Messrs. Bahlau and Cook, by their thoughtfulness and generousity, have made certain that for a week at least half a jcompany Iof men will be able to enjoy American tobacco.

SEED POTATOES AT
BUT LITTLE EXPENSE

A man in Kansas recently gave a
plan for obtaining potato seed with
but little expense. He says when
I was a boy, in the early days, we
had a scarcity of potatoes and my
parents, being from Germany, knew
what the poor there did and they tried
the same thing here with good sue
cess. I remember mother taking all
the large potatoes that she used for
the table and cutting the peeling about
a quarter of an inch thick, where the
eyes were, and putting them away
where the atmosphere was dry. They
were kept there until planting time
and just before planting time she
sprinkled we'll water on them, just
enough to moisten them. They were
planted with the cut sides down, but
not as early as other years. Mother
waited until the ground got a little
warm and did not cover too deep. She
plants came up and we had one of the
best potato crops that we ever raised
on the farm.

COMPULSORY MILL
TARY SERVICE

That the volunteer system has al
ways been a failure in our war is
pointedly shown by former Secretary
of War Henry l.. Stimson in an arti-
Gle in the current Scribner's. He finds
that Massachusetts and Virginia were
forced to resort to the draft by 1777,
or only two years after the opening
of the Revolution. During the course
of that war, in spite of many sporadic
efforts by different states, the patriot
armies shrunk in numbers from &c.
900 in 1916 to 20 1000 in 1881, and our
cause was only saved from failure
by the timely Intervention of the
French feet and army. In 1872 the
volunteer system broke down in so
many and various ways. as to make
that war the most conspicuous exam
pie in our history of how not to carry
on military operations.
During the Civil War both sides
were forced to use the draft-the
south within a year and the north
shortly thereafter. Even in our lit
tie war with Spain the full quota of
volunteers called for by the president
was never obtained. The failure last
summer of recruits to appear when
called for by the president to meet
a national emergency, although more
than 100000 citizens were parading
and shouting themselves hoarse for
preparedness, is merely the latest in
cident of what has been a practically
unbroken record in our history.
Mr.. Stimson believes that compul'
sorry military training is the only per
manent solution of the problem o.
our land defense which is "both ade'
equate from a military standpoint ant
consistent with our social and demo
cratic IDEALS" The Encyclopedi.
Britannica gives the sanction of it,
authority tn figures which indicate
that the German boy gains through
his military training five years in ex
pectation of life over the less for
tunate member of his class who d
not receive it. Whether accurate o
, not, such figures represent a sin
gle phase of the moral and physica
good which would be derived by tn
youth of this land from a life of hard
disciplined training out of doors TO

is better than an entire view.
Unite the house and grounds by the
liberal use, Of the finer shrubs IN 1oun-
dation planting. This gives the rouse
a less bold look and also gives the
appearance of belonging there, and OF
being a part of the whole picture. Inc
trees, the shrubs, the flowers and n
lawn and house must all harmonic,
each should add it's part to make one
complete picture which is the central
theme, but which, all properly related
will spell but one word-"Home."
When the back ground is we'll estab-
lished and the sides of the yard are
bordered with pleasing shrubbery
groups, when the house foundation Is
softened by Towering shrubs, one can
make use of these green borders as a
background for interesting flowers.
There is a splendid list of perennials
which bloom quickly and surely each
season. If a strip of soil is kept in
front of these shrubbery groups, n
can therein plant iris, %peonies, tulips,
gladiolas, phlox, hollyhocks, etc., and
have them give the strongest effects.
Against the green background the
flowers will appear at their best and
when the flowers are gone, the place
in which they grew will not become an
unsightly bed but simply be noticed
and interest will again center in the
shrubbery group.
The following of these suggestions
in the making of ones landscape will
not be found difficult, and n attempt
ed will give the owner an ev%er-increas-
ing interest in his yard. It will be
found also that the grouping suggest
ed will give protection to shrubs from
wind and sun and secure more healthy
growth, with less care. d

have been urged to distinguish the

The ladies of Glasgow have taken
up the proposition and have now or
panized a club for that purpose.

desire to improve their grounds but
