PLEASE PASS THE SPINACH

Spinach is cool weather crop, and
must be planted early if the hot
weather of summer is not to come
along and make the spinach go to
seed before it has justified its occu-
pancy of good garden space. 1t is,
however, the best, the most popular
and the most prolific of all the gar
den plants grown for greens. The
taste for green's is strongest in the
early spring and late fall and winter
when green vegetables are hard to
get, so that spinach fits right in with
the demand
Spinach likes rich soil to force it's
luxuriant growth. If you have any
fertilizer to use in your garden, be
sure to put some in the spinach bed
The plant particularly likes nitrogren,
and those who can afford it can i'm
prove their spinach crop by scatter
ing little nitrate of soda between
the rows. 1t demands also plenty of
water, and does best in cool, damp
weather. Hot weather and dry soil
stunt its growth.
For spring planting buy round
seeds of spinach. The other variety
of spinach seeds is the prickly kind,
and it is most suitable for fall plant
ing in mild climates Plant the seeds
thickly an inch deed in rows one foot
apart. An ounce of seed is enough
for 100 feet of row.
Usually it is better not to thin spin
ach out by pulling the seedlings. AS
soon as the plant has formed roset
Of well-developed leaves it is ready for
use. Then by pulling the mature
plants, or cutting them off with a
knife just below the surface of the
ground, you will give the ones that
we're crowded chance to grow large
and keep up the supply. The first
plants will be ready for use about a
month after the sowing, and the crop
will continue to mature for about 80
lays.

THE NATION HAS SPOKEN

Once America has spoken 1t has sent
message Germany and her allies that be mis-
understood.
First the nation spoke through President Wilson;
then spoke through congress, still Germany pro-
fessed to believe that there division and that
through plots ntrgues treason the kaiser and his
cohorts could democracy in America with forces
generated within the nation
But now the nation has spoken-through the har-
monous action of the flower of American manhood.
Ten million strong the of America have said 'the
world must be made safe for democracy"
Never since time began has any nation such
uprising. From every hamlet, every city,
farm, factory, mine and place of business from
section of the land from every class and occupation
the message has gone out-'We are ready"
II is proud day for America. This nation never
stood high before in the of the world 1t has

Outside All Law.
These things, and many more, are
all outside of the international law
governing warfare, are acts not per
mjtted by civilized nations, and be-
long to the ages of barbarism, if in
deed any barbarians can be found who
would sanction them. They might
| be termed scientific barabrism. All
these things are done with the sane
ton of, or by the order of, Wilhelm II,
kaiser, by divine right, or Germany
and lord of the high seas These
things are performed in Gods name,
by his regent, and he is asked to
bless them. Do we, the most en-
lightened, the most liberty-loving, ma
ton on earth, want these ideas per-

strous house of Hohenzollern to
triumph? Do we want it to govern
Europe, as it will if Germany wins
this war?

text Of the address delivered at tn
mass meeting Tuesday afternoon b,
Senator NJ. Z. Lewis:
At the beginning of our Civil wa
there was one great question at issu,
which overshadowed all others; tn,
right TO cecede in the south and tn,
prese1v walton of the union in the north
AS the war progressed the freeing o.
the slaves became an issue, and final
ly one of equal Importance with the
other. AS the war progressed the
issues changed.
How Issues Change.
In the present great war we find the
same changes taking place. The lead
ing issues at first in each country has
changed somewhat In Germany and
Austria the object of conquest and in
demnjty has been largely disavOwed,
at least by large part of the people.
and IN a measure by the rulers. In
Russia the desire for Constantinople
has been renowned by the new gov
eminent. In France. which seemed
the most changeablei and unstable peo-
pie at the first, we find the least
change, because there was the least
reason for change They fought in
defense of their country and to regain
the lost provinces, and are still doing
so. England started fighting for
principle,-the honor of keeping treat
les and enforcing obedience to treat
les once they are made. They also
fought in defense of their country.
For the purposes of this paper the
objects of the smaller countries need
not be considered
Object of the Allies.
Collectively their object, that is the
allies, was to destroy the ruling house
Of Germany, and forever get rid of the
large military burden thrust on all
the countries of Europe by the mailed
fist and military clique of Germany
While this object is still aimed at by
the allies. another has been added TO
it. They now aim to free the Euro
pean countries of all forms of autocra-
tic, dictatorial, ruler by divine right,
forms of governments, and substitute
in their place governments by and
with the consent of the people govern
ed
Why the War;
1t is universally recognized now that
the DIGSeuL Val WOulu uOt nave SIdi u
ed had such governments existed in |
Germany, Austria and Russia three
years ago. The establishment of this |
form of government for the different !
countries is now an issue as an insur
ance against war in the future. This
is the one great principle at stake at
present in the war. 1t has been de-
clared that the war could be ended
in a few weeks if Germany would es-
tab1ish Republic and Danish the Ho-
henzoIlerns. Whether the rank and
file Of the German people know this1
Is a debated question. There is no
question, however, but the emperor of
Germany knows it.
