We have read tho circular as pub
lished and have failed to find any
thing therein to substantiate the
charge. Dr.. Henderson seems to be
ready to stand upon his rights and
he boldly admitted that he had sent
the circulars broadcast throughout
tho United States. Had We have
been in his position, We would have
done the same thing.
With colorod men Offering them
selves for service in Uncle Sans
army and angry because they arc not
sent with tho first to land In France
it is absurd to say that anything is
being done to hinder the progress Of
the draft officers. But then these
arc war times and the guarantees of
the Constitutions, both State and
National, do not seem to be operative
at the present time. We hope that
DR.. Henderson will be successful in
clearing himself Of the charges.

NO PEACE TALK FOR COLORED
FOLKS.

The entente allies and the Admin
istration at Washington say that thoy
do not want to hear any talk about
peace at this time. In this, the
colored folks are with them "tooth
and toe-nail." The longer the war
and the bloodier, the better it will
be for the colored folks. When
about a million white soldiers are
fighting In France or somewhere else
and the transports begin bringing the
wounded to this country, then will
the colored folks come unto their
own. The white men at the ton will
not be able to distinguish a black
soldier from a white one. All they
will want will be help and the black
troole. will give that help.
When the war is over and the SOL
diers from the trenches and tho plain
march in review triumphantly before
a grateful nation and happy Pres
ident of the United States, the long
line Of devoted black troopers will
receive, the encomiums Of the nation
and be welcomed to receive all Of the
rights and privileges Of any other
citizens. This can only come from q
long and from a bloody war. From
a short, quick war, Good Lord
deliver us!

and used in paying the actual expens-
es Of promoting the movement among
the colored people. BY this method,
the campaign could no doubt be made
self supporting, inasmuch as the en-
pense would be confined to clerk hire
literature and postage.
The remarkable progress made by
the Section under the present corps
of officers can be appreciated by
those who,. like myself. have noted
tho progressive growth during the
past ten or twelve years. No act on
the part OF the financiers of the coun
try has done more to stimulate tho
habit of saving than has this move
ment for the conservation of tho
wealth Of the nation in general and
that Of the colored people in particu-
lar.
I hope that southern banking insti-
buttons may be induced to secure
statistics relative to the amount Of
the savings Of tho colored people in
their respective localities and for
ward the same to the Secretary Of
the Savings Bank Section, where the
undersigned may be permitted to OBJ
tain the information and by adding
the same to those Of the forty five
banking institutions in the country
conducted by colored people practical
ly all Of which are in the South, hc
may be able to ascertain tho actual
cash holdings Of the colored people
of this country.
The time is rapidly approaching, IL
not actually at hand, when tho black
Colossus, ever friendly and never mill
tant toward his friends; always faith
full and never traitorous toward the
government be 1t Democratic or Re-
publican, will be valued at his true
worth, not only by the South but by
the North, not only by the East but

People Urged to Raise Vegetables and
 Prepare For a Lean Winter.
 It Is a world of lean years, says the New York Times. Its food lies in this years crop. The reserves will be ex- hausted at the end of the crop year. The outlook is not too roSeate. The English wheat crop is reported back ward, the Dutch small. French wheat will yield less than usual Argentina will have little wheat or corn to ex- port. The Australian wheat crop is estimated at nearly 5O,OOOOOO bushels less than last years. Our big winter wheat states have not had moisture enough. Early vegetables in the south ern states have been nipped by frost. So the shortage goes.
 Food prices are high already. This careless, easy going America must re- member the ant and prepare for next winter. One thing nearly all of us out side the cities, and many urbans, can do. That Is to raise all we can of the common vegetables, so easy to raise, thriving almost everywhere, so large a part of our food. We can't import them. We must grow them; and they should be grown In quantities unheard of before, grown by the rich-and the more they sell the better-by the poor, by the great mass that is neither Beans, onions, peas, potatoes and the rest, these should be the crop of everybody with land enough to bend over in.
 Selectmen, town committees, town trustees and councillors, spy out the vacant cultivable land and see that 1t Is tickled with the blow. Commuters, who farm for exercise and pleasure, or say you do, this Is the spring when you need to farm for business. More ground for garden this year; and gar den for vegetables, not for ornament.

COUNTRY PLANNING

Tn Q discussion Of The Relation of the Landscape Architect to Country Planning" by Albert D. Taylor, non resident professor Of landscape archl- lecture at Ohio State university, at the last meeting of the American Civic association, some Of the objects of rural development were emphasized
 The primary problem of country planning as Mr Taylor sees 1t is to make the country a better place in which to live. This presuPpOses atten- ton not only to the aesthetic stand point, but to the economic standpoint. Hand in hand with the plan of mak- ing any particular town a better place In which to live is tue problem of talk ing It out of itself, of relating 1t to other communities. 4 nation wide de- yelOpment Is necessary which shall tie communities together in some unified way. One of the first steps toward this Is, obviously. the building of good EUdlS. lSSe -oSleE SpALAuLAGdALuL and acquaintance.
 Another problem Is that of presery- Ing points of historic interest and great beauty, and it is one needing i'm mediate attention, not only for the pur- pose of preserving places that might otherwise be lost to the future, but also because such places can be bought now at a cost which is only a small fraction of the amount which the com munires will pay later, perhaps, when they wake up to their responsibility.
 Lastly, among the many other impor- tant problems which might be men, tiOned is that of tree planting, which needs special attention in the middle west. 4 good number of communities in that section, as well as in others, have no Idea of the progress that has been made in city and country fores- try. By means of an educational cam paign, including the exhibition of slides Of successful paintings, such places may be enlisted In a movement very fruitful of artistic and economic results.

PLANTING SPINACH.
A FaVorits Crop Grown For Greens,
 and All Gardeners Should Plant 1t.

A FaVorits Crop Grown For Greens,
 and All Gardeners Should Plant It.
 Spinach is perhaps the most favOrite crop grown for greens, and every home gardener should plant 1t. Around Nor folk, Va, and to the south of 1t large areas are cut at any time through the winter when the fields are not frozen or covered with snow. North of the latitude of Norfolk spinach can be planted in the autumn and carried over the winter by mulching with straw or leaves. The seed should be sown in drills one foot apart at the rate of one ounce to 100 feet of row, or ten to twelve pounds per acre. A rich loam Is required for success.
 There is perhaps no other garden crop which gives as much satisfaction as spinach. Ordinarily it occupies the land during the autumn and winter and does not interfere therefore with the production of summer vegetables. Three or four ounces of seed planted in the autumn after the summer crop has been harvested will produce an abundance Of greens for the average family during the late autumn and early spring. In gathering spinach the entire plant is removed instead of merely cutting or the leaves. By sse- lecttng the larger plants first the smaller or later ones are given room to develop. This method does away with the necessity of thinning.
The daily Alaskan., 1917-06-05
WHAT TO DO IN JUNE.

Transplant sweet potato plants from plant frame to garden.
 Sow tomato cabbage and collard seeds in plant frame for fall crop. (Sow tomatoes in early June. Sow cabbage and cOllards in late June.) Sow seeds of hardy perennials in hot beds. Shade plants with screens made of slats.
 Transplant in seed bed hardy peren- nial flower plants and place plants six to twelve inches apart both ways.
 Plant beans, corn.
 Prune spring towering shrubs and vines after flowers have fallen.
 Plant dahlia roots.
 Keep soil between rows mellow. Spray for insect enemies and plant diseases.
 Harvest and replant crops promptly.
