as good bands as can be found any
where in the country.
They are making more reputation
for their community than any other
one thing possible. When the
Shriners had their ceremonial here
on the 22d of February, the Mortons
Gap band was here to make music
and compliments could be heard on
all sides. 1t is a fine asset for any
Madisonville Hustler
And why can't Hartford get her
musical talent together and organ
ize a band for our little city? AS
the Hustler says. brass bands make
more reputation for a community
than anything else possible.

UNIVERSAL REGRET
OVER BREAK WITH U. S.
Austro-Hungarian Government, It Is
Announced, Does Not Contem-

From Stafr Correspondent of the Associated
Press-Formerly Stationed in Vienna.


Press-Formerly Stationed in Vienna.
BERN, via Paris. April IL
The Austro-Hungarian government. up
to the last minute, regretted what it
considered to be the necessity of sever
ing diplomatic relations with the United
States. Although the AustroHun
garian embassy at Washington had
been instructed to demand passports in
case Congress declared war against
Germany or a state of war with Ger
many, the Vienna foreign office hoped
that break could be avoided.
That diplomatic relations between the
two countries had been severed APP
peared to cause universal regret.
The announcement is made on high
authority that the monarchy does not
contemplate declaring war on the
United States. that it is willing to leave
further developments in the hands of
the American government. Nothing
was placed in the way of the departure
of Charge Grew and his staff, for the
government expressed itself as believ-
ing that no guarantees regarding the
diplomatic repre-
sentatives in the United States would
be needed.

Will the great army of government

That this is a likelihood was admit

although as yet no steps have been

upon the matter.
Throughout the various departments
the question was whispered today and
wherever the question was heard there
was no doubt as to what the reply of
government employees would be if the

Sod Valuable to Gardens.

"A number of instances have come to
my attention of persons starting out to
prepare a garden who wanted the sod
cut off and carted away. The sod
should never be removed, but should
be spaded deeply under and chopped
up during the operation. This sod, in
decaying. adds plant food and it also
adds humus (organic matter) which is
very much needed in the soil. One should
always add as much decaying vegetable
matter to the soil possible and never
remove any unless the plants were dis
eased.
"A number of persons are using com
mercial fertilizer in the garden and
some do not understand its proper use.
Commercial fertilizer should not be
scattered broadcast over the garden
and then spaded under. The soil should
first be plowed or spaded. then the
fertilizer scattered and narrowed or
chopped and raked into the soil. A
good grade of fertilizer may be pur-
chased from any seed firm.
When the fertilizer is applied broad
cast use from four to six pounds to
each square rod (272A square feeD. If
it IS desired to apply smaller amount
of commercial fertilizer it can be mix
ed with the soil along the row before
the seed is sown. IF a supply of bone
meal or sheep mhnure is available this
may be used in place of the commercial
fertilizer.
