Maxim a Garden.

Agriculture is nearly as old as man,
and since it began it is probable that
farmers have been studying, out bal
anced rations for domestic animals, but
even yet few housekeepers have any
real scientific ideas on feeding the
family. Your state agricultural college
or the department Of agriculture, WASH
ington, can help you out in this, and
you should take the matter into con-
sideration in making your garden and
gee to it that your vegetables include
the most nutritious and health giving
properties. Every farmer knows that
when horse works all day he should
receive certain feed and when he is
idle-in rainy weather, for instance he
gets different rations. How about a
man or a child? Do you know how to
set your table to get the maximum re-
suits and keep perfect health? Do you

Might Have Changed History.

might have changed the whole course

Rear Admiral Sims, U. s. NJ,
who today commands the allied
naval forces i'm Irish waters.
To Admiral Sims, it is the
United States owes that fact that
American gunners are among the
best shots in the world.
After study of British meth
DDS of naval gunnery in 1902,
Sims introduced their system into
the American navy. Within a
few years the efficiency and per-
centage OF hits OF the gunners had
increased enormously.
Before the Spanish-A American
war, Sims was naval attache at
Paris. In 1900 he was sent to
the Asiatic station.
q In 1909 while commander, he
was assigned to the battleship
Minnesota of the Atlantic fleet.
After that he took a two-years'
course at the naval war college
and then took command Of the
torpedo flotilla of the Atlantic
fleet.
Vice-Admiral Sims was born in
Port Hope, Canada. He is SO
years old. Shortly before the en-
try of the United States into the
war he was sent abroad as spe-
cial representative and placed in
charge of the operation of Ameri-
can naval vessels in the U-boat
zone.

Crowds Temper Rises.
Shortly after the women werS
on duty at 10 o'clock this morn
ing crowds began to gather before
them, jeering. Augmented by
government clerks, who swarmed
out of nearby buildings at lunch
time. the crowds temper began
to rise.
The police guards at the White
House gates, with whom the suf-
fragists' pickets have been on very
friendly terms since they started
their guard mount" were grimly
silent and made no move to
check the crowd when II adj
vanced suddenly toward the
pickets.
Several men then jerked down
the banners, tore them to shreds
and trampled the remnants under
foot.
May BE Treason.
Government and office clerks
for blocks around rushed to the
scene. Police from the White
House grabbed several ringlead-
ers in the crowd. but the sergeant
in charge ordered them released.
He himself ripped down the last
shreds of the banners. The
women carrying the banners were
unharmed.
The incident was called to the
attention of the department OF
Justice shortly after 1t occurred
and an investigation was started
at once to determine whether
there was anything reasonable
in the first line of the women's

AUSTRIAN
CABINET
RESIGNS
UNITED Press Leased wire.l

LONDON, June 20-The youth
full emperor of AustriaIHungary
was confronted today with his
most difficult task as ruler since
assuming the throne.
The entire Austrian cabinet,
headed by Count Clam-Martinic.
resigned late yesterday.
Dispatches received from Wen
ma via Amsterdam today empha-
sized the difficulties which the
government must overcome in or
Ger to form a cabinet which will
receive sufficient support from
the various factions in the empire
to survive.
Formal announcement by the
Poles that they would refuse to
deal with Clam Martinic's minis
try, was directly responsible for
the designations of those advisors.
The Slavic parties have been
anti-government and with the de-
lection of the Poles the anti-forces
held a majority in the reichsrat.
Judging from the cautious COM
ment of the German press on the
ministry's fall, the Germans re-
gard the situation as grave.
