The severance of diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany on the 3rd in
slant caused some alarm among for
eign-born depositors in a few cities
lest their postal savings deposits
might be seized by the government
in the event of war. Withdrawals
increased temporarily at few post
offices, while in other places deposits
ran unusually heavy. Apprehension
as to the safety of postal savings de-
posits was effectively allayed by the
following announcement of the state
department on the 9Th instant:
at having been reported to him
that there is anxiety in some quar-
| tiers on the part of persons residing
in this country who are subjects of
foreign states lest their bank deposits
or other property should be seized in
the event of war between the United
States and foreign nation, the pres
| ident authorizes the statement that
all such fears are entirely unfounded.
THE government of the United
States will in no circumstances take
advantage of state of war to take
possession of property to which in
ternational understandings and the
recognized law of the land give it no
just claim or title. 1t will scrupu-
lousy respect all private rights alike
of its own citizens and of the sub
| jects of foreign states"
Postal savings depositors have the
further express assurance of law, act
of June %. 1910, that the faith of
the United States is solemnly pledged
to the payment of all deposits and
that they may be withdrawn on de-
mand.

Second Haae PIay,

Second base is called the pivot po-

plays are usually teams well up in the
race Generally speaking, ability to
make double plays speaks well for a

few runs for the opposition. provided
the pitching Is Of the proper kind.
Since second base is the pivot position,
much of the teams success depends

MakinQ a Garden,

Agriculture is nearly as old as man,
and since 1t began It is probable that
farmers have been studying out bal
anced rations for domestic animals, but
even yet few housekeepers have any
real scientific ideas on feeding the
family. Your state agricultural college
or the department Of agriculture, Wash
ington, can help you out in this, and
you should take the matter into con-
sideration In making your garden and
see to it that your vegetables include
the most nutritious and health giving
properties. Every farmer knows that
when horse works all day he should
receive certain feed and when he is
idle-in rainy weather, for instance-he
gets different rations. How about q
man or child? Do you know how to
set your table to get the maximum re-
suits and keep perfect health? Do you
serve the same food to the men work
ing in the heat Of the harvest field, to
the boy going to school and to the
babies? Your garden should contribute
to the health and happiness of EACH
