A wide range OF colOrs has been de-
veloped in this favorite flower, the
nasturtium. which for three or four
months OF the season makes better
display than almost any other plant.
No other annual will produce such
prOfusion OF flowers for so long time
with the same outlay Of time and Ia

in fact, too much rain or moisture

In soils TOO rich the leaves prcdomi-

 A noticeable diminution in the in tenseness of the fighting along the Isonzo front of the Austro-Italian the ater has set in. Only one attack by the Italians is reported. Here, according tot Vienna, the Italians attempted ol advance but were stopped by the Aus trians. On the Trentino front far to the west, the Austrians are keeping up their heavy bombardments and infan- try attacks which the military authori- ties in Rome consider attempts to di- vert the attention of the Italians from their offensive on the Isonzo.

 This is the only kind of war. Mir. Me Adoo said, in which the United States could afford to engage.
 We would not go into any war for material ends." he said. We would not lift a finger to take a square inch of the soil of any other nation. We do not want any mdemnities or any com pensation for what We do in this war. We are fighting for an ideal, which is the only thing that makes any nation great We do not intend to be drawn on the chariot wheels of any military autocracy. as poor, bleeding Belgium has been for the past three years, and as Serbia has been for the same period of time.

Accounts which grow so large that no busi- ness based upon fair dealing and reasonable profit can carry the bur. den. Therefore, 1t has been decid. ed on and after May 1, 1917. all patrons of this firm-without e.cep. tion-wll not be extended credit when an old account extending be- yong 30 days remains on our books. We desire to impress upon our customers that the constantly in- creasing cost Of living is further ad- vanced by careless credits adding to the dealers yearly overhead, and it is with view of keeping prices to the lowest limit, promoting honesty and fair dealing that this action is taken.

EXPLAINED BY CENSOR
Clippings Are Sent to General Staff which Completes Chain

WASHINGTON, May 30 - Little scraps of paper properly handled make a mighty store of knowledge.
 Geoffery Butler, who has handled the publicity of the British mission and who is tho press representative of the foreign office in England, has explained the need for strict censor ship of d practical kind over military and naval affairs.
 Germany has twelve men we know" Mr. Butler said, "who do nothing but read the little parish papers which are published in Eng land each week. From their readings of these papers, they are able to build up a store of information which is most valuable for them.
 For instance, the Kentshire Ga zette published a one-line head item. Private Tom Sloane of the Third Scottish Battalion was wounded at Ferbourg on Tuesday" immediately the German reader of the paper clips this and forwards it to the clearing house for information. where it is compared with other bits of in formation gathered in the same way and in an incredibly short time a report goes to the great German headquarters of the precise location of the Third Scottish Battalion. This is but one instance of the publishing of military matter which has brought harm to the military operations. These matters cannot be too carefully censored. can say unqualifiedly that I believe the political and governmental mat ters are well censored by the mem bers of the press themselves and too full facts cannot be put into their hands
