Hidden Waters.

Owing to many causes the amount
of water held in the rocks or other
materials that compose the earth va
ries greatly. The amount absorbed de-
pends on the porosity of the material,
the slope of the surface and the size
and abundance of joint cracks, fis-
sures and cavities. The amount of
water in drift or surface material is
dependent to some extent on the ma
ture of the underlying rock, and the
amount that finds its way into the
solid rocks is dependent on the thick
ness of the everything deposits. The
amount of water contained in the
crust of the earth-to depth of three
miles-has been estimated by different
writer's with widely different results.
A recent estimate is given by Mr.. Full
Ter of the United States geological sur
vey, department of the interior, who
concludes that the total amount of
free water in the crust of the earth
would make a layer 100 feet thick over
the entire surface of the earth. Other
writers have estimated the amount as
very much greater.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-04-21
HOW ABOUT A SMALL WATER
GARDEN?

A miniature water garden is practi-
cal and will prove most interesting,
needing less attention than a flower
bed of the same size. Have a sugar
or vinegar barrel cut in two, or use
a wooden tub. Sink this in the soil.
Make potting box about 10 inches
square and fill with rich mud from a
pond, or use half-inch loan, adding to
the mud or loan about one-third of
well-rotted manure.
Plant the nymphea root in this and
place in the tub; fill with water until
it is two or three inches deep over the
root When the growth commences
and the leaves appear, water may be
added from time to time until the tub
is full. Never change the water, sim
ply replace that which evaporates.

BIG GAIN IN FUEL BRIQUETS
Uncle Sans Figures Show Production
in 1916 Was Increased 33 Per Cent
over Previous Year.

The production of fuel briquets in
the United States in 1916 was 295,-
155 net tons, valued at 81, Az, ,662, an
increase compared with 1915 of 73,61S
tons, or 33 per cent in quantity and
S409,946, or 40 per cent, in value, ac-
cording to Uncle Sans figures. The
production in 1916 was the greatest
recorded, exceeding that of 1916, the
previous high record, by 44,520 tons.
This increase in the production of
fuel briquets in 1916 is attributed by
c. e. Lesher of the United States geo.
logical survey to the improvement in
trade conditions arising from the un-
usual demand for coal, and to great
er general appreciation of the value
of briquets for use as household fuel.
During the last two years the product
of many of the plants has been so
much improved that it gives off less
of the heavy, tarry smoke that domes-
tic consumers have found so objection
able.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-04-21

The highest award of merit attain.
able by any American military or naval
man is the "Medal of Honor" which
corresponds in Importance to the Iron
Cross" of Germany and the "Victoria
Cross of Great Britain. The medal
of Honor" is given to very few persons
and only in cases of extraordinary
valor.
One of the latest recipients of this
badge of honor is Sergeant Major Ros-
well Winans, U. S. Marine corps, to
whom it was awarded for extraordi-
nary heroism displayed in battle with
rebels in Santo Domingo.
Winans operated a machine gun
against the enemy, only $50 yards
away, in the face of a heavy fire to
which he was fully exposed. When a
jam put the gun temporarily out of
commission he stood up and coolly re-
paired it, maintaining his perilous po-
sition and resumed firing until the BAN
dts deserted their trenches. Marine
corps officials say Winans' prompt ac-
ton saved the lives of many of his
companions.

Plant GrapeVines.

to prevent the air from entering the
windows freely.
1t is a mistaken idea that ivy vines
keep the house damp. They keep
it dry, as the little suckers, which
cling to the walls, suck the moisture
from the walls instead of attracting it
to them.
AS soon as the potted plant fills the
pot in which it is planted with roots,
give them a larger pot or prune it
down and prune the roots so as to
make fewer of them. Unless this is
done the plant soon becomes pot
bound and begins to deteriorate.
Geraniums grow very easy from
seeds, as do coleuses. Plant the seed
in very fine soil in "A box, covering the
box with glass, or, better yet, muslin
stretched over n frame. Give the lit
tie plants plenty of air as soon as they
begin to throw out the third leaf.
Many interesting varieties may be
grown in this way.
/ like to see flowers about n house
and doorway. l do not remember to
have ever seen an anarchist wearing
buttonhole bouquet or a very bad
citizen whose house and yard con-
tained flowers.
Balsams show to best advantage
when they are pruned to one straight
stem. Pinch off every side branch,
and the single stalk left will be COM
pletely covered with II mass of bloom
All flowers keep in bloom much
longer, and the flowers are larger, if
not allowed to form seeds. Pinch off
every flower as soon as it begins to
fade. This is especially true of sweet
peas and pansies.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-04-21
FOR
PLANT GRAPEVINES FOR
BEAUTY

To me the wild grapevine produces
the sweetest odor of any plant in ex-
tstence. The wild grape is n handy
vine, growing with scarcely any at
tention. It can be made to cover a
side fence as a dense hedge, or trained
over trellis or up shade trees.
Young plants may be secured in al
most any wood or along bushy fence
rows. They are transplanted in late
fall or winter. Grapevines of every de-
scription are attractive, however. The
blue grape with its wealth of luscious
fruit should find place on the home
grounds.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-04-21
FOR THE AMATEUR GROWER
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Flowers should have friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow. They
often make a brave display in rather
poor soil, but they appreciate good
care.
Do not plant flower plants too close
together. Verbenas should be at least
is inches apart petunias the same;
phloX II foot; pansies 10 inches; zin-
Mas IS inches; marigold feet; pop
pies 10 inches. If flowers are too close
In the bed they will not make thrifty
growth nor will the flowers be as
large and plentiful.
Keep flower beds out of the center
of the lawn. They show with better
effect if used as borders for walks
and around the sides of the lawn.
Do you want soft, thick turf on
your lawn? If so, NOW often with
lawn mower and let the clippings lie
where they fall. They will soon settle
In the grass and after awhile they
will make n cushiony soft coat, which
keeps the soil from drying out too
much, and fertilizes it as they decay.
If the lawn is a little bumpy, fill the
depressions Il little at time with a
tine garden soil. Put half an inch of
soil on at time, and let the grass
grow through it before putting on any
more. In this way lawn can be
made smooth in the course of season
or two without being torn up and lying
bare for months.
Do not plant shade trees too near
the house. Give the air a chance to
circulate round and through the house.
Set the trees so as TO shade windows
during the hottest hours, if you want
them shaded, but never close enough

Youth Fears "SIackers"
Will Get the Best Girls

Many and varied are the argu-
ments advanced for universal
military service in the United
States.
For example one Harvard stu
dent warned that such service
should be inaugurated "to pre-
vent unpatriotic fellows from
landing all the choice girls while
the patriotic men are serving
their country"
The boys, the student said,
who are long on piano playing
and short on response to calls
from their country will get girls
because they stay at home-girls
who otherwise might wish to
marry those who went out.

JUST PLEAS OF RAILROADS

The pleas made by the railroads be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for increased freight rates
bear out the justice of the demands.
While it is true the revenues Of the
roads the past year were the greatest
in the history OF railroading in this
country, it must be remembered that
the operating expenses were also
greater in labor, materials and taxes.

THE MAN OF GRIEF

The kaiser's face looks sad and
worn: his eyes forever seem TO
mourn; his features have bloodless
hue; his hair is white, his whiskers,
too. He's aged score Of years, they
say, since that important, fateful day.
when forth he sent his steel clad host,
his war machine, his pride and boast.
Think Of the things that he has done!
Who would not age ten years in one?
I would not have the kaiser's sleep
for all the treasure in the deep; for to
that sleep what dreams must come
what shades OF victims, dead and
dumb The women lost in sinking
ships are there, with white accusing
lips; the babies and the graybeards
old. rise from the pillows blue and
cold, come 10 his couch In voice!eSs-
bands and at him point their dead,
white hands. He's wet the world with
blood and tears, and when have passed
a thousand years, men still will shud:
der at his fame, and damn the German
butchers name. He's aged a scocrd
of years. they say; he's haggard. nerv.-
GUS, racked and gray. Not for his
kingdom would I know the kaiser's
load of guilt and woe!

INTELL1GENCER
ORGANIZED EMOTIONS AND
THE ENDURANCE PLAN Of PAIN
We Must Gather Our Spiritual Forces for Service To-day
BY CHARLES F. THWING, Ill D.
President of Western Reserve University.

The Americans are an emotional
people. Their feelings are at once
deep and thin. The nation can be cas-
lily moved like shallow sea. IL IS
also capable Of deepest stlrrlngs. A
calamity OF either nature or OF man. Il
Messina earthquake. or a thOuSntless-
~ cruel mob. any injustice OF wide re-
lationships. calls out pity. Indignation.
sympathy, and benefcience. The con
dition is one most honorable to the
nation and creditable to the individual.
But cmontions are much like sum-
mer showers. After brief outpour-
ns. they cease. They, also like sum,
mer showers. run off. doing little good
and often leaving devastation behlnd.
They fail TO flow into the ordinary
methods Of life and unite themselves
with the vital forces of growth. They
are occasional. periodic. spasmodlc.
Tho need IS, therefore. great that
emotions be made constant. gentle.
persuasive. fertilizing to the whole
character. They should be as the fall
Ing Of the dew which enriches and
puritleS. but never devastates.
For the securing of this great result
LOT organized emotions. the mind
should maintain permanent interest
in LIES great forces. II should have
knowledge OF what IL going on IN
this most fascinating world Of ours.
History should minister to an ac-
Quaintance with the present processes.
which Is material for future history.
Literature should be an inspiration for
tho highest life of today, as we'll rs Il
record Of the best life Of yesterday.
Science should be a constant revela-
ton Of the wonders Of the still going
on creative process. Matthew Arnold
once said that he had just bought
some Italian. Spanish. and Turkish
stocks 10 keep his interest in modern
history alive. One always should seek
10 see life .sanely and TO see It whole.
There should also be economy in
the use Of emotions. Emotions are
among tho most precious OF all life S
treasures. They are the holy flames
burning on the altar of worthlest man
hood. The alabaster box should not
be broken in vain. Great feelings
should not be poured out unworthily
on small causes. nor should small
great affairs. Indignations should be
always proportional 10 the wrongs
and shames which evoke them. In
thusiasms should not be suffered TO
become all-absorbing over details in
significant and transient.
II is also well 10 unite great feel
ings with great undertakings. Pas
sions should be harncssed up to pres
ent service. The floods Of feeling.
both rising and falling, should create
some monument both practical and
practicable. The exterior uNdcrtak-
ing gives soIidity, steadiness. direC.
lion 10 the emotions. The deed helps
10 form the banks between which the
rivers passions flow. The Civil war
OF 1SG1-lS65. for instance. created a
movement. both effect and cause, into
(which the indignations and impreca-
tons and sufferingS of the anti-slat-
;cry party Of a generation were lncar-
mated. 4 pure warm heart put into
some worthy service helps 10 form q
