Beckett Declines Barbecue Speeches.


Numbers of invitations are coming
in to Governor Beckett for him TO
speak at barbecues and other festive
occasions, especially barbecues, and he
is turning all OF them down and al
vising the promoters to call off the
barbecues and donate the money they
would cost to the Red Cross and at
the same time save the pigs, which
will be much better, under the stress
of the times, to let develop to full
grown pork. II is an interesting fact
that almost every one of those to
whom the Governor has made the sug-
gestion OF conserving the pigs and aid
ing the Red Cross by cancelling the
barbecues have heartily thanked the
Governor for his suggestion and as
sured him that this course. would be
followed.

PLANTING SPINACH.
A Favorits Crop Grown For Greens,
and All Gardeners Should Plant Il.

A Favorits Crop Grown For Greens,
and All Gardeners Should Plant Il.
Spinach is perhaps the most favorite
crop grown for greens, and every home
gardener should plant it. Around Nor
folk, Va, and to the south Of it large
areas are cut at any time through the
winter when the fields are not frozen
or covered with suow. 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
loan 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 vegeta bles
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 of the leaves. BY Sc
Letting the larger plants first the
smaller or later ones are given room
to develop. This method does away
with the necessity Of thinning.

Board in Each County.
"In the different counties the de-
tails of registration will be in charge
of a board consisting of the sheriff,
the county auditor and county physi-
clan.
"The registration cards and certifi-
Gates are already in the hands Of the
sheriffs. An extra supply has been
received by the governor for distri-
button to counties whose supply, fur
nished direct from the war depart
ment, is insufficient to meet the needs
of the county. AS the supply OF
cards furnished is based on the 191
census and there has been a marked
increase in population in many OF
the districts since that time, 1t Will
be necessary to carefully conserve
the supply furnished.
"Any cards left on hand In the
different precincts at the close OF
registration must be returned to the
county sheriff, as these will be used
in making up duplicate sets OF the
registration cards. A careful follow
ing of instructions by the registrars
and a cheerful, loyal cooperation on
the part of all citizens will make the
registration in the state of Washing
