The best time to feed plants is
when they grow most vigorously, for
then the need of food is greatest. That
time is in the spring months. See
t',at your plants are fed now.
Do not overplant small places with
trees that ultimately attain large size.
Use few trees, and where they are
needed. Use many shrubs in mass for
screens in obtaining framework and
privacy, also bright flowers for incl
dental, yet necessary, establishment.

Now for Boozeless DAYS.

With assertions that pro- Germanism

interests Of this country, the Rev
William Hartman van Allen, of the
Church Of the Advent, Boston, Sun
day. said in his morning sermon that,
the church and people, too long silent.
must now rise and smite this great
American peIl. BOOZE by uniting in an
appeal to Congress. to pass the amend
ment to the federal Constitution for
wartime prohibition, thus making this
country safer for democracy.
With myriads of women begging
for sugar. the brewers have had no
difficulty in securing sugar for their
beers" said DR.. Allen. Women have
also had to wait in line for sugar, but
You don't see any waiting lines formed
outside barrooms. Beehess days and
wheatless days are not just, when the
drinking people Of this country do not
conserve with a boozeless day.
Let the people Of this country give
the President satisfactory expression
that we wish TO stop the waste Of
millions OF pounds OF food. 1t is in
the Presidents power, given by Con-
gress. to stop the manufacture of beer
and thus save the food wasted in it's
manufacture. He would act if the
people signif1ed their determination
that he should act. If his present
course is approved by those who are
prompt to speak for the booze inter-
ests, and those who always shout for
their personal liberty" to deprave
themselves and all around them, and
We fail to register our disapproval,
what should we expect?
We respond readily to every request
Of the administration and always give
more than is asked, then why should
we hesitate to ask the President in his
! turn to save the grains and other
foods now converted into worse than
waste?
The government has ordered that no
intoxicants shall be sold or given to
any man wearing the uniform of U. S.
naval or military service. But every
day in every city near an army camp
the booze interests are Matching
schemes to violate that order and Sc
cure the profit in reducing the health,
! loyalty, manhood and efficiency of the
army service. Is any traitor OF any
| nationality, or the Kaiser himself, any
more OF a menace to our welfare than
that? Why should not the pulpit de-
nounce any branch of the booze BUSH
ness as German treachery?

Tatzugo kosugi, Of the kuhara Ship
building Company, in arguing for our
raising the embargo on steel ship
plates wanted by Japan, calls atten-
ton to the Department of Commerce
figures showing that our imports from
Japan during the fiscal year 1917
totaled s2os,ooo, 900 in value, and says:
This exchange of products means
revenue to the United States Govern
ment, which is certainly in need Of all
the money it can get to meet its own
gigantic war expenses and to give ef-
fective aid to the Allies"
Argument OF this sort will appeal
only 70 the Democratic party, for
whom it was intended. The total men
toned by Kosugi was 40 per cent
greater than the total value Of our i'm
ports from Japan during the fiscal
year 1919. the last under protection,
yet the 1917 imports paid little. il any.
moro revenue into the Golfers of the
Federal Treasury than did those Of
1913. The total of our imports from
all the world during the fiscal year
1917 was $3.50 100000 greater than for
1913. yet the 1917 customs revenues
were ss2,o0o,0oo less than for 1913.
Not much revenue can be expected
from an average duty rate OF 5 per
cent.
Many a layman on the subject Of
taxation is heard to remark that 1.-The
old order changeth"; that 'henoaforth
our Federal revenues are to come
within rather than from without, from
the pocket rather than from the port"
AS the expenditures for the proper
functioning of government increase
that may be so. comparatively speak
ing. But how are profits and incomes
to continue under policy which
makes America the largest free mar
ket in the world? Certainly we have
had ample demonstration Of the effect
on American earning power of unre-
stricted foreign competition in normal
times. And who believes that the
labor Of floating a Liberty Loan in
1914. after one years free play Of the
present tariff law, would not have been
increased n-fold?
From the standpoint Of revenue
alone it may be that customs revenues
have assumed a secondary role, but
from the standpoint of the effect of
protective du.its on all federal reve-
nues, national welfare, American in :
dustry and individualism, protection
remains the star in the trade drama of
tho world.

You thrive in rich soil from Great Lakes

From Canada TO fair Tennessee;
Like Kings and Princes somewhat incog-

And cause him to stop and eventually
