Common Sense Hints
 About Garden Work

Here are a few garden "dont's" clip ped from R University of Wisconsin circular:
 Don't sprinkle your garden. Water 1t once a week if necessary.
 Don't let the weeds get start
 Don't permit the surface soil to be- come compact or lumpy.
 Don't cultivate a heavy soil when 1t Is too moist,
 Don't let the bugs get your plants. This means you must watch plants closely.
 Don't try to cultivate too much land, especially if 1t is sod. Intensive work on a small area usually gives better re- turns than the same amount put on a large area.
 Don't plant seeds too deep. They should be only deep enough to get suf- ficient moisture for germinahon. Peas and corn are exceptions to this rule.

I would expect him to give me rea-

The Paciast and the Soldier. (By Charles Hanson Towne.)

A certain paciflst, who was willing to lie supine (so he said) beneath the aggresslons of any foreign power. once met a soldier who had never fired shot. But the pacifist did not know this.
 "Oh-hov the latter shouted, at sight of the uniform. 'so you are one of those soldier men! One of those uiiitarists who create love and invite war!'
 Mot at all." replied the soldier, quietly. T am opposed to war every soldier is. Just as every po- liceman prefers quiet neighbor- hood to Hell's Kitchen. so prefer peace to shot-and-shell."
 1T don't believe you!" cried the pacifist. forgetting, in his rage, that it is the part of every good pacifist to remain calm and courteous under all conditions; never to quarrel; never to shout: never to lose his temper; never to indulge in a war of words. ''why, then. do you carry 8 gun. and sword? Why, why? You invite trouble by merely owning such weapons. You encourage war sim ply by thinking about it."
 "Oh. no; I beg your pardon an swered, the soldier, softly. 1T never think of war, except to detest 1t. That policeman, wonder, does not wish to arrest you--though perhaps he ought fo.

 Did anybody in particular wish to see me tonight?"
 The muzzle of the Winchester seemed to grin sardonically at the mob, as he spoke and the mob melted away. Two days later the real crim- inal confessed, clearing this man. ASK him about preparedness.
 I saw a bully on a car mistake quiet good breeding for cowardice. He answered @ well-chosen rebuke with contumely and swung for an eye. The gentleman sidestepped and countered on the jaw. Then the bully left the car, ably assisted all the way. Did the lady whom the bully had annoyed decry preparedness? Hardly.
 recall that Little Crow. the War Lord of the Sioux nation, shied away from our settlement in Minnesota when the settlers under my fathers leadership had built Q stockade and established g patrol. While mon. women and children were killed bru- tally all about us. our stockade re- ceived no attack. Scouts were seen more than once inspecting the stock ade from Q distance and two were shot. but bit of preparedness dis couraged the niurdering band.
 A friend undertook to gentle .. bronco school in our forest. Four biz boys of from seventeen to nineteen years had led the school in whipping and driving away four teachers. Tho first day of the new term. my friend invited the four boys to test skin and strength on the playground at noon. he to meet the four in rough and tumble wrestle, catch as catch can. When the four quit. exhausted, with the teacher still on his feet and smiling, he made a casual remark to tho effect that he felt sure there would never be any trouble of physical na- ture In that school. He walked to the schoolhouse door with his arms over the shoulders of the two who had given him the most to do and that school led all others in the county in department that winter.
 He was prepared. Would 1t have been better for him not to take that course of instruction in wrestling and get his whipping like his predecessors?
 Are we afraid to be strong? Or what is the matter with us?
