Annual Varieties.-These include the
rocket and hyacinth-fowered lark
spurs, so called from their long, mar
row fiowerspikes. They bloom best
in rather cool, moist soil. The seed
may be sown in the open border, Ell
ther in spring or fall preferably the
latter, so that termination may take
place very early in the spring. AS the

Perennial Varieties.-These are usu-

sown in the autumn or very early in

LARKSPUR
(DeIphinium)

Blue Is comparatively rare color
among our cultivated plants, and for
that reason the delphinium, which
shows this color in great variety, Is
particularly valuable. The brilliant
fiower-spikes can be seen from dis
tance and are strikingly effective in
beds or masses, in borders, shrub
berries, or in combination with white
lilies or other plants where a high con-
trast is desirable. The tall sorts
should be planted among shrubbery or
used as background for other low
growing plants whose bloom will pro-
duce pleasing contrast with the
larkspur. The dwarf types are better
suited for bedding and for low borders.
improvements are continually being
made In the size of the flowers, as
well as in the length and fullness of
the spikes. Some of the species flow
er both early and late, and the season
for all can be prolonged by care in
cutting away withered flower-stems as
fast as they appear. The delphinium
is sometimes increased by division, but
like most other plants they are more
robust when grown from seed. This
plant is easily propagated and adapts
itself to many conditions, but in a
soil deeply dug and well enriched with

Petty Politics Delay Army Bill,

The public must sustain the shock of the
knowledge that the great army organization bill
is held up because it, contains provision that
will allow Theodore Roosevelt to so to France
as volunteer. Objection TO this feature comes
from the secretary of war, who can swallow the
camel Of selective draft, but strains at the gnat
OF allowing former republican president to 60
to war with commission from his government.
Roosevelt suffers far less than the country from
this. The bill, passed ten days ago with great
outburst Of patriotism, is now delayed in con-
ference, while little petty partisan politics is
threshed out, No wonder some Of the cabinet Of
fcers were eager to push the newspaper gag law
through congress. They do not want the light

Rapidly Readjusting to DRY" Conditions.

Although less than ten days have passed since
the Inauguration Of the dry" era in Nebraska, it
is being made manifest that the prohibition law
has been generally acquiesced in throughout the
state and can be enforced under any reasonable
Interpretation by the local authorities of the diff
ferent subdivisions and municipalities If they are
disposed to do their duty
The legislature voted huge appropriation to
be at the disposal Of the governor and state law
enforcing officers on the theory presumably that
no sincere effort would be made to stop bootleg
ging and block up the leaks" in communities
where wet sentiment had previously predomi-
mated
If the start is any criterion Of the future the
governor will have no good excuse to spend that
money, but will have to recognize the fact that
Nebraska communities are, as a whole, law-abid-
ing and law-observing even where they differ as
to the wisdom OF the law.
Knowing they are in for prohibition, Nebraska
people are already accommodating themselves to
the situation and all OF us hope the worst fears
of the "wets" will be disappointed and the best
promises OF the "drys" fulfilled.

Guard Food Warehouses Against Fire.

A fire in food warehouse at any time is a
calamity; careless fire at this time is crime
Therefore it behooves everybody, especially farm
ers and elevator men, to be particularly watch
full that all danger Of fire be avoided. Most Of
the country's surplus stock Of grain Just now is
in the farmers granary or the small town eleva-
tor and as such is especially exposed to the pos
sble destruction by fire. Stocks held in Omaha
and other grain market centers were never so
low as at present, proof that whatever supply
the market is receiving goes direct to the miller
This throws the burden of responsibility on the
small holders Of grain and to them this admoni-
ton is addressed. II Is not suggested that they
have at any time been negligent; on the contrary,
1t is we'll understood that they are as deeply in
terested in the situation as any can be, but they
will lose nothing by exercising special pains for
the present to see that no part Of the limited
surplus store Of grain is lost to the world through
FIRE that might have been prevented by closer
watch.

Pounding at Chancellor Hollweg.

Chancellor Won Bethmann. Hollweg stands the
only premier who has gone through the war
from its beginning, but his hold on Office is
threatened now by an opposition that is encour-
aged by the recent checks to German arms. His
strength as director of the imperial government
and executor of the policies Of the German en-
peror was long ago demonstrated. Prior to the
war his wisdom and foresight was almost vener-
ated by the German statesmen and since the con-
hict commenced his management OF the politics
OF the empire, both internal and external has been
remarkably astute and effective. But success is
still lacking and nothing is so fatal to a chancel-
lor as inability to make headway against oppo-
ston.
Outsiders will smile at the charge that Holl-
veg is responsible for the defeat OF Won Kluck
at the battle OF Marne; it is quite as reasonable to
blame him for the failure OF the crown prince
at Verdun, as signal defeat as the kaiser's army
has met in this war. Hollweg may have hesi-
tated before he plunged the world into the awful
melee Of the war that has ragged for nearly three
years; il he did it Is a tribute to his prudence,
for it shows he was not so blinded to the possible
consequences as some OF his contemporaries ap-
pear to have been. His hesitancy was not so long
continued, however, as to materially affect the
result The dash to Paris went amiss at Liege, an
incident happily beyond all calculations OF the war
lords, who disregarded the SCRAP Of paper" and
the seemingly feeble force that lay on Belsium's
side Of the violated treaty and all that has fol-
lowed goes back to that turning point.
II Hollweg was reluctant to loose the U-boats
to terrorize the seas It must have been because
he could foresee It's effect on the course Of the
United States. 1t was not the chancellor who
issued the order to Crush the contemplate army
OF England, nor is it known that he has ever held
the American nation as cheap as have some Of the
other counsellors Of the empire. He may be
made the scapcgoat, but dispassionste critics will
exonerate him from any accusation resting on his
unworthness as leader in war and politics.

National Trade Mark
Advertising Is Security
"PutUp" IN Advance
BIZ Clinton L. Oliver
BB Clinton L. Oliver

All successful manufacturers know that their
Advertisements for trade-marked goods is pub
lie pledge. Each advertisement carries with il a
promise that must be kcpt--it is security put
up" in advance.
Advertisers OF trade-marked goods know that
to break faith with the public would be fatal
worse than throwing their money away.
That Is one good reason why advertised
brands are more popular than those that are not
advertised. People know that there is service,
quality and reliability behind them. They look
goods in their class and the stores where these
goods are displayed and pushed as the standard
stores of the community.
The standard of advertising 10 more exacting
today than ever before. Advertisers are more
careful of their promises and more interesting in
their text and illustrations. They are more care
fu than ever before in the preparation OF their
copy and arrange for its frequent appearance be-
cause they know it Is repetition that makes an
impression.
A clock without hands would create no inter-
est and draw no crowds because, while it might
be running. no one would know it and no one
could be guided by it. Just SO with an article
that is not trade-marked and is not advertised so
II it Is q very good article there is nothing to
cause the customer to remember it by name or
trademark and bring them back for more. On
the other hand, If il Is very poor article there
is nothing to protect the customer from purchas-
ing the same article again.
Successful, reliable manufacturers are point
ing the way" to their quality products by trade,
marking and then advertising them. Be very
sure that they are taking no chances on advertis
ing an article that does not merit repeat orders
they are putting up their security in advance.

Pullman company seeks lower assessment on

seems silly, when its reports show it to be riding

porations. Old, but reliable, excuses are offered
but the time doesn't appear to be exactly propi-
tious for transportation companies to ask re-
duetion in taxes. The proceedings before the
