 But you'd be surprised how funny Henry acted about it.

ports of their exploits are not yet in It Is known, however. that one intre- pid young fiier, failing to find sim gle German observation balloon a.oft, sought out one in it's hangar on the ground, dived at it and set the big gas bag ablaze from stem to stern.
 Since Sunday the British airmen have been revelling in weather they have long desired. Not a cloud was in the sky today where a German could find shelter. Deprived of that means of digging themselves in,' the German fliers were far scarcer than usual and very difficult to find. Brit ish machines were everywhere along the battle front and far behind the German lines Bombing raids were carried out forty five miles back, the machines deliberately flying over ground where battles were raging with the greatest fury.
 German trains rushing reinforce ments to the front were attacked and bombarded and completely disorgan- ized.
 In several instances the British ma chimes came low over the fighting lines and poured machine gun fire in- to the German ranks. In doing this machiaes have deliberately crossed the fire of their own as we'll as the enemys guns.
 One British pilot after bringing down two Germans and all his ammu- milton was gone, descended, reloaded filled up his petrol tanks and took to the air again. Within half an hour he had brought down his third ma chine for that day. Another pilot felled two machines, while the other thirty-ffve were divided among a sim liar number of British pilots.
 The greatest fight Monday, oddly enough, was a drawn battle. One of the British pilots met a brilliant Ger man fiier and for a full hour they manoeuvred in, most marvellous manner without either being able to bring his gun to bear on the other. They rolled, looped, twisted, deliber- ately stalled their engines and stand ing the machines on their tails, slid

NEED UNIFORM LAWS.

Once more there has been a decis- ion rendered in connection with the effort of the state of New York to se- cure an inheritance tax from the es- tate' Of Hetty Green, and as might have been expected regardless of the side which the decision favored there will be an appeal and more judges will be asked to pass their judgment in the case.
 New York claims that Mrs Green had her residence in that state and therefore in accordance with the law of that state the inheritance tax should be paid to that state. The heirs of Mrs. Green claim that her residence was in Vermont and that she stayed at her home there when she could. and the latest ruling in the matter upholds that contention.
 But regardless of this decision or that which may ultimately govern in the case, nothing shows the neeu 0. uniform legislation by the states more than this very case. Vermont has no inheritance tax law so that 1t fur nishes an incentive for these who may live. do business and make their mill lions in an adjoining state to claim their residence in that commonwealth. This is to all appearances what was done in this particular instance. Out or 1t all Vermont gets practically nothing but its failure to lay such q tax deprives the states which do have such laws of what they should get and at the same time it aids mater tally the tax dodgers. If there was uniformity regarding such a matter as an inheritance tax in all the states, there of course would be those who would insist upon maintaining their residence in states other than where they did business but they couldn't continue to amass apd pass along for tunes without satisfying the tax ool- leceor

HOME GARDENS
Potatoes.

More inquiries reach the National l Emergency Food Garden Commission
 which is cooperating with this paper I in urging garden planting this year
 sSing about potato growing than re- l late to any other crop.
 1 This is due to the fact that the price of potatoes this spring has continues the bulletin.
 It is entirely possible to grow a considerable crop of potatoes in . a good-sized back yard. but if potatoes. are grown there will be little room for hardly worth while to plant only. a few hills of potatoes.
 A garden space 50 by 100 feet will
 produce 12 to Is bushels of early po- tatoes with good care, and may do much better than this. Late pota- toes produce larger yields than this. The soil should be thoroughly pre- pared for potatoes. the finer its grain from seeds but from the tubers them
 selves. The small 'eyes" in the po- tato, which every one has observed. is the embryo sprout waiting only for soil to make it grow.
 The cost of potatoes, therefore, makes the seed expensive. But this cost can be offset by the method of planting. Since only the eye" and a
 it need be planted the body Of the po-
 tato may be eaten after the "eyes"
 have been cut out from it. These save as much of tha potato for use as possible. If the soil is finely work
 ed the eyes can be planted sing:y 1
 foot apart 3 inches deep or shallower,
 in rows 26 inches apart
 Potatoes for early use should be
 planted as soon as the danger of kill ing frosts is over. After the plants are up and frost threatens they should be protected with straw, newspapers. or the like.
 When single eye" cuttings are used 2 bushels of potatoes will plant a plot 50 by 100 feet. After the cones are
 cut out they should be spread on paper for two days to dry them before rlanting.

WELCOME TO THE ENvoYs.

The country has reason for extend ing the same hospitable welcome to the French commission headed by General Joffre, as it did to the British commission headed by Foreign Min fster Balfour, and such of course will be manifested in the reception given 10 these envoys Such a visit of course recalls other conferences which took place between the nations dur tng the dark days of long ago and the same close friendship is existing today as prevailed at that time. The tables may be reversed but our in- terests are the same.
 The arrival of these representa- lives of two of the leading entente ma bound to prove one of the greatest councils of the war. As the result of 1t there will be better determined just what part this country is going to play in the great struggle across the water. It will be made plain where our services can be the most valuable, They have been through the experi- ences which this country must face. They are ready to reveal those ex- periences and mistakes that this coun- try in siding with them in the fight may have the benefit of their costly errors, and this country is bound to listen with attentive ears and to be guided in its actions by the suggss- lions and Advice which they bring.
 Both countries have named great leaders for this mission. They do honor to this country and the services which are to be rendered and this council indicates not only the Kind of coOperation which should exist be- tween the nations which are standing together against a common enemy but that which must take place if there is to be a successful and early termi- nation of the war. These visitors have much in the way of counsel to pffer and it will be accepted in tiks

Easter Morning

l saw the darkness of the night in
silence pass away,
| saw the first red streaks of dawn
behind the mountains play,
While on the valleys and the hills q
golden glory lay.
My lips sang. Alleluial
| saw the suns ascending sphere in
regal glory rise.
The marvel of another day burst on
my waiting eyes.
| heard the larks triumphant song.
the mighty eagles cries.
My heart sang. Alleluial
The fragrance OF the spring was borne
upon the winds warm breath;
felt the triumph and the truth Of
what the Scripture saith,
That God is Life, that God is Love,
and Love shall outlive death.
My soul sang. Alleluial
The morning was now fully come.
The sky had lost its red.
The white suffusing light Of day filled
all the earth instead,
And it was Easter Day. and Christ
was risen from the dead.
o Earth, sing Alleluia!

Near.Potato COMING.

Enter the imitation potato! 1t Is
called the dasheen, is a member of the
tuber family and fiourishes In Trini-
dad. Recently the dasheen has been
introduced into the South, and it is
expected that cultivation of the plant
will help to cut down the cost of high
living. as represented in the potato.
A frostless season of seven months
is required to grow the dasheen, which
cannot be cultivated farther north
than South Carolinn. As an ar
ticle of food 1t is said to have less wa
ter than the potato, and increased pro
tein. starch and sugar. These qualities
would be likely to render it even more
palatable than the familiar potato, and
we may soon be confronted with res
taurant bills reading: "Dasheen Lyon,
naise" or ''Dasheen a la O'Brien."

wrists, and having thus formed sad

been intended originally to signify the
joy of Christians in the resurrection.

A MONG the Christian legends of

tiger or turncap lily. All lilies

held their fair heads proudly erect, but
on the night in which Christ suffered
in the garden of Gethsemane some fell
from grace. When the other flowers
became aware of his agony, they with
cred away with sorrow and pity Only
one lily was Indifferent, and when
those three bitter hours had passed,
still faunted her spotless beauty in the
light of the moon. The soldiers came
and as Jesus was led out from the gar
den of Olives he paused for a moment
beside the tall stem covered with the
white flowers; for moment he

their blindness and their hardness of
heart, and touched by the love and
mercy in his eyes they hung their
heads and blushed 50, to this hour, the
descendants of this proud plant look

From the middle ages comes another
religious legend of the lily. There
was once, we read. great monastery
in the northern Pyrenees where the
monks devoted their lives to study and
to charity. And it came to pass that
one day they found woman dead on
the slope of the hills, with little baby
boy clasped, still sleeping, in her arms.
Filled with pity, they took the child
home to the abbey and gave him the
tenderest care. Years went by and the
baby grew to be big. strong boy. fair
of face and form, childlike, innocent
and sweet, but no labor, either on his
own part or his teachers, could en-
able him to learn. Even the prayers
and psalms which he had heard from
his infancy seemed to make no impress
sion on his mind, but ever on his lips
were these three CALCULATIONS: II be-
lieve in God I hope in God 1 love
God!" Over and over he would repeat
the words and the monks smiled indul-
gently as they heard his voice chant
ing over his three simple prayers while
he lay beneath tree on the hillside
watching his sheep, or toiled. as he
loved to toll among the flowers In the
walled garden.
But one day an unusual stiffness was
noted, and going out to inquire the
cause they found the body of the lad
lying amid the roses, with strangely
wise smile on his still lips. The mo-
mastery seemed very empty and lone

to rest in the bare little cemetery, and
often one or the other would steal
away to pray beside the grass-covered
mound. so no one wondered when they
