STATE ADVISES
GARDEN PLANTING
Many Requests For Informa-
ton and Maps on Back Yard
Cultivation


With practically every back lot and
available yard being prepared for gar
den purposes this summer many re-
quests for plans for back yard gar
dens have reached the Department OF
Agriculture and Sheldon w. Funk,
farm adviser in market gardening has
prepared a chart of a garden 40 by so
feet, showing the rotation to follow in
order to insure a number of the most
staple crops.
1t is impossible to give plans that
will suit all conditions, but the garden
planned for the small back yard lot or
the garden plot plan that will be fol-
lowed by many industrial plant en-
ployes during the summer, and the
suggested arrangement can be changed
to suit local conditions.
The garden planned calls for q rep
resentative line of vegetables that are
common to most tables, and while the
rows are closer together than under
large garden scale plans, it is assumed
that such gardens will be worked by
hand and cultivation will be easier in
small rows than under-a more elabor-
ate system when horses and machinery
are used. -
When the work is to be done by
horse and tools. the rows should be as
long as possible with no paths through
the middle of the garden.

Brother Comes From New
Mexico to Attend Funeral

Mechanicsburg, Pa, March 2S. -
After a desperate effort to get to the
funeral of his brother. Hugh W.
Strock, of this place, George Strock
arrived yesterday afternoon from New
Mexico, just about five minutes before
the body was removed from the house
Mr.. Strock was on the way almost
five days. but was held up by various
delays. When it was learned that he
could not reach here at the expected
time, the funeral service was delayed
an hour. Even then he did not arrive
and the funeral party waited long
enough for him to view the remains
of his brother. The Singer Band of
which the deceased was a member for
twenty years, accompanied the
body to the grave \ member carried
Mr.. Strock's horn draped in black.

URGE
NEW REVOLUTION
Russian Activities Cause For
Much Uneasiness in Many
Cities
BY Associatcd Prcss

Petrograd, Mach 2S.-The work of
agitators, whose efforts are designed
to hinder the successful accomplish
ment of the revolution, is becoming
apparent with the subsistence of activ-
ity on the part of the military, which
forced the supporters of the old regime
to keep in hiding during the early
days of the upheaval.
The indications of such work in
Petrograd,- which are indefinite in
form, are confused with the possible
designs of a horde of criminal pris-
oners who were released from the jails
with political offenders One definite
instance has been recorded, however
yesterday a motor car speeding along
the streets scattered proclamations
calling upon the people to undertake
wholesale massacre of the intelligent
classes.
On other occasions. during the night
time, similar cars have been running
about without lights. Their occupants
are said to have fired on the militia
The militia is thoroughly alive to the
danger of such counter manifestations
and the commandant has issued strict
orders for vigilance.
Strange chalk markings on the rear
doors of apartments throughout the
city are causing much uneasiness and
in the absence of other explanations
they are being linked with the general
mass of rumors and reports of efforts
being made for a counter revolution.
From Kharkov, Kiev and points along
the Nolga come reports of efforts on
the part of the old secret police to stir
up opposition to the new government.
The situation in South Russian cities
has been complicated by the wholesale
escape of desperate criminals. who are
assisting in the disorganization fo-
mented by enemies of the government.

If You Expect to Enjoy
Perfect Health.

You cannot expect to enjoy all
the benefits of a strong and
healthy body, and the splendid
vitality your are entitled to, un-
less your blood is absolutely
clean. Every heartbeat, every
breath of life depends upon the
blood supply - every function OF
your body is either properly or
poorly performed, according to
the condition of your blood.
Can you not see, therefore, the
vital Importance of keeping your
blood absolutely pure?
In fact, there are scores of all
ments attributed to other causes
that would never exist if the blood
were kept entirely free OF impuri-
ties. And do not underestimate
the damage to your health that
any irregularity may OCCASION, no
matter how seemingly slight.
You cannot afford to labor under
any handicap, or neglect to cor
rect any condition that tends to
lessen your efficiency.
Keeping we'll and in perfect
physical condition is largely a
matter of being able to resist dis
ease. Every day you are subject
TO attack by disease germs.
Everyone else is similarly expos
ed, and those who succumb are
those whose systems are not in
condition to resist the disease
germs which are ever present.
The slightest impurity in your
blood will weaken your system
and lessen your ability to resist
disease.
To be reasonably sure of per-
feet health, therefore, your blood
should be kept free from any
trace of impurity. This is abso-
lutely necessary if you would en-
