Do not be too quick to get into the
garden work. Some Of the over-zeal-
GUS seize the first warm spell as the
opportunity and work heavy clay soil
before it is dry They waste energy
and do harm to the soil, from which
it will not recover in a long time.
Thickness is a big item in garden
ing and the thing to do is to have
everything ready when the right time
comes. Fresh vegetables are very de-
sirable and those from the backyard
garden are not subjected to exposure
and transportation. Then, too. home
grown products are free from infec-
ton
Another point is that many garden
products lose flavor between the time
they leave the farm and reach the
city table This is avoided in the home
grown garden. It is not desirable to
start things before danger of late
frosts is over.

GEN. YOUNGFOR
TRAINING YOUTH .
INCANTONMENTS

PITTSBURGH. Nov. 1o.-Lieut. Gen.
S. B. u. Young, U. s. A., in an address
TO the alumni OF Washington and JEFF
ferson College here, made a strong
plea for the enactment by Congress
OF an amendment to the draft law SO
as to include boys Not the ages OF
nineteen TO twenty-one in q scheme OF
training for service
General Young urged that the
present cantonments be used for the
training OF the three classes proposed
just as soon as those cantonments
shall have been vacated by the last
Increment OF the national army. He
insisted this would'not interfere with
the economic life OF the nation. nor
add any additional expense for train
ing quarters, as present facilities
would be made use OF.
The draft law provides for the dis
charge into civilian life at the end OF
the war OF every member OF the land
forces who shall request such dis
charge. This provision, he said.
means that at the end OF the war
there will be nothing left OF the great
army created. unless plans are made
to put universal military training on
q permanent basis.

GERMAN ACTIVITY
STIRS ALL ITALY
TO WAR FERVOR

ROME, Nov. 10.-It must not be for
gotten that It was the minority OF
italy that declared war. Two years
had steadily increased the ranks OF
interventionists, but It has needed
the Germans to turn the balance and
create a great war majority.
The latent opposition TO war has
hitherto been represented by the So
ctalist paper Avanti, part OF the cleri.
cal press and the GIolittian Stampa,
OF Turin. Since the enemy entered
Italy the Avanti has no longer rep
resented even the official socialist
party, but only the incorrigible Len
mist fraction OF the same.
The StAmpa announces GiolittFs re-
turn to parliament, as symbolic OF the
sacred union" The clerical press
has passed from lukewarm to ardent
In declarations Of loyalty. The ridicu-
lous assertion of the Munchener
burning In Italian churches for the
victory OF German arms cannot be
counted" has touched italian Catholics
70 the quick and they have not failed
to make hitting reply.
The Corriere d'Italia writes: ITALY
is today arisen In one burst OF indiG-
nation Today we affirm eur right TO
defend not only out territory, but our
country's name before the world and
history" The Seclo calls this period
"the new war" and every other paper
In northern Italy calls for unhesi.
