And one we have heard since the
sweet days of yore;
But this, that has come, in these war

When beets, beans and peas take the

When we lawns that were once a pub

Where the weary might rest secure
from the heat;
Where the children could play in the
depth of their glee,
While the RED Robin" sang from
the Dough of the tree;
Is the most absurd thing in all holy

I can't understand how it gained
such ovation.
But since it has come and our friends
have consented,
Well pledge them our hearts, that
we are contented
To take back seat, while they try
their good luck
At tilling our soil, just to raise gar

To feed all the hungry, DISTRESSED and
the poor,
And keep the gaunt wolf from the
cottager's door;

This year Memorial Day has a double significance.
All the nations in alliance with the United States in
the present against German autocracy have
agreed to adopt Memorial Day. to broaden the scope
of the beautiful custom of decorating the of the

meaning of the deeds they wrought, the sacrifices

with deeper solemnity by the whole people than

the day. Now, with fearful staring them

their doors they aroused partial realization
of what Memorial Day means and what it will mean in
the years to come
1t is fitting and proper all business and other
activities of worldly nature be suspended for today,

All worldly gain is but miserable dross compared whit

Much interest is being shown by
many prominent citizens of Moscow in
gardens and gardening. In some To-
calities of the city the interest has
grown to rivalry, and the rivalry has
become edged with jealousy. A min
lister, who lives not far from the city's
center, has by hard work and much
loss OF sleep and disposition, sue

rounding his church into spuds. A
prominent citizen who lives across the
way from the furnishing garden, who
has allowed the beauty of his velvet
lawns to overcome his longing for
good spuds. looks from his window out
on the long rows of tender green
shoots, and before his eyes there
comes a vision of. a cellar filled with
bins of white juicy spuds, and mon

dollars in the house across the way.
He turns from his window in lament
and disgust, when a new though comes

PULL TOGETHER IN FUTURE

Old things have passed away. Conditions will never
again be the same in the United States they were
before the beginning of the Indivdualism
is to return. Cooperation has taken place
and will until it has been thoroughly tested

for something else
Some time ago the Star Mirror printed remarkable
article this subject from the pen of George w.
Perkins. In pretty complete harmony with the ideas
forth in that article the position by Franklin
Lane, secretary the interior acknowledged to be
of the thinkers of the day.
Secretary Lane says:

| 1t you have not begun to free your
garden crops of the weed enemies that
are probably attacking them now, you
should lose no time beginning your
campaign. 1t is a warfare that you
will have to wage, off and on, all sea-
son, but if you bring superior force
into play early you will be able to con-
fine the enemy to a struggling guer-
rilla offensive that will cause little
destruction.
In this warfare the hoe is your
heavy artillery and is to be depended
upon chiefly for action in the open
Weeders are the most effective weap-
Ons for close action. Neither tool,
however, will wholly do away with
the necessity for hand-to-hand
struggle to uproot the persistent weeds
the smaller plants you wish to protect
and which yield only when they are |
pulled bodily up by the thumb and
finger.
The fight on weeds should begin as
soon as it is possible to distinguish
easily between them and the garden
plantlets. 1t is even possible to do
much effective work in killing weeds
between the rows before the young
vegetables make their appearance, pro-
vided the exact location of the plant
ed seeds is marked
The gardener should choose a bright
sunny day for wedding At such a
time even weeds which are only par
tally severed from their roots will
have little chance of surviving the
rays of the sun. If wedding
operations are conducted on a cloudy
Or damp day, however, many of the
weeds that are incompletely severed
will take fresh growth.
Wedding does more than free the
garden of undesirable plants. The
digging incidental to removing the
weeds also serves as cultivation AS
;oon as the weeds have been dug up
he roughened ground should be care
ully smoothed with a rake. This
will incorporate air in the soil, form
dust mulch which will aid in pre-
'enting the loss of moisture through
