Watering.
 Frequent hoeing will save much watering and is better for garden plants, says today's bulletin of garden advice issued by the National Elmer gency Food Garden Commission which is cooperating with this paper in uFg- ing food garden planting to cut the cost Of living.
 The great value of hoeing in the garden Is that it makes dust cover around the plants. which keeps tTe moisture from evaporating.

Another Big Waste to be Stopped.

Another Big Waste to be Stopped.
 MT. Editor: I have read with inter est your able and timely editorial, Stop the Waste" in April 18th edi tion- There is not day that the clarion call is not sounded in our daily papers to stop the waste in food One would suppose that the safety-of the nation depended upon the housewives of America. It is true that we housewives must heed the warning on even the very crumbs that fall from our tables How is it that in all the many editorials have read upon this subject not a ward has been said about the greatest and foolish est waste which is devastating our country-aieoholic beverages? I saw it stated the other day that it takes to supply the brewers; 625.0eO. 900 bushels of grain. Think of the wicked waste of our very best and most nour- ishing food productst The most sen sible step that has yet been taken to conserve food, has been taken by the officers and delegates of the farm bu- reau and agricultural association, rep resenting over 5000 farmers in New York state in a petition to the fed eral government to prohibit the man ufaeture of liquors made from grains. The federal government must coop crate with the people. as Russia has, Russia wanting strength and money too. has found both in prohibition The industrial eficienc$ of Russia has in creased by 30 per cent. I deem it my duty to- declare in the most emphatic manner that there cannot be any re- turn to the past" said the czar's fi- nance minister.
 If Russia can be so wise and proud, why not America?
 It has been proven beyond dispute that two billions dollars are spent yearly in America on drink-and it costs the country another two billions to care for the wreckage that is the work of rum-four millions spent on drink and it's derelects and our na- tional Civil war debt was $S00 GOO. 900. More than enough to pay our war debt No need to worry about money to meet our war with Germany The drink question is a more fearful enc my than Germany. We are towards before it.
 MT. Lloyd George, premier of Eng land, said: We are fighting Germany. Austria and drink, and. as far as Il can see the greatest of these three deadly foes is drink"
 free ourselves from perils within which we have deliberately fastened upon ourselves. National prohibition and a heavy tax on tobacco will save our country a mint of money and do more to make fit our men to conquer our outside enemy than any other preparedness outside the defenses which every country should prepare for her own protection.

Incomes Should Fight Too.

Mir. Editor: May I suggest that at this time your paper might perform a useful service by demanding that the "A. 900, 900 900 of war bonds and certi- f1cates should be paid for by an in come tax. Moreover, 1t seems to me that the absurdity of the. proposal to place only 40 per cent. war tax on incomes over a million dollars a year should he commented upon.
 Food stuffs and clothing are already soaring. People with small incomes SD going to suffer actual hardship as the war continues. The main thing is to have the war burden adjusted fair ly. so that there will be as little hard ship and poverty as possible while the war is on.
 A tax of only 70 per cent on s1.- -millionaires with only from $60o,- 600 a year up to shuttle along on, seems, in a war-pinched country, a travesty of justice and of the pay as-you-go war finance plan Incomes of more than $1o0 900 should be taxed to the disappearing point in war time and continue to be so taxed just as long as the war debt lasts. This is not Q matter of sentiment; it is a matter of sheer and practical justice. The war will not be popular until the people feel it Is carried on with jus tice to all classes.
 Get this before the people. Recruit ing may be expected to pick up as soon as the public realizes that the rich are willing to volunteer their sur plus wealth. If our young manhood

Crab Orchard

In the passing away of DR.. W. M.
Doores, Crab Orchard gives up an
other of her old people, whose life
helped to make the town better and
wiser. He had long been sufferer
from complication of troubles, and
in the last few years of his life was
confined much in the house. When he
was able to be out at all he was live
ly, laxative and ever ready for an
argument. He had fine memory, was
we'll versed in history and most en-
Pertaining talker. He has lived in our
midst many years, witnessing the bur-
ial of his wife and several children
and seeing many an old friend depart.
As a physician he had few equals. He
was ever ready to attend all who
needed his help, no matter how poor
and humble, or whether he ever eX-
pected cent for his work. He was
charitable to the needy. AS a Bible
student few preachers understood the
Word better, or could explain it more
beautifully. He leaves an untarnished
name, an honorable life-work, as a
legacy to his three living daughters.
Only one of these, Mrs. Lura Speigel,
of Shelbyville, Ind, was present at his
