PLANT VEGETABLES TO

Nothing so surprises the foreigner
who Is visiting America for the trst
time. as the fact that so few Ameri'
can homes have their own vegetable
beds. I'm every suburb most homes
have a lawn or flower beds, but few
homes indeed plant vegetables.
Possibly the high cost of living dur
ing the past several years will prove
blessing in the end. because II Is
leading more and more people TO use
% advantage the garden space around
their homes.
With a proper guide to the right
vegetables 10 plant and with proper
cultural instructions one can readily
secure from any suburban backyard
succession of the finest fresh voge-
tables, superior in quality 10 those
secured in the average market and
produced al a trifling cost. Any reader
can secure free Of charge an instruc-
tive 240 page catalog from Mitchelis

Philadelphia. which shows when and
how 20 plant; tells how to get the
greatest yield from the smallest space
by planting for succession: raising
early peas string beans and corn on
the same ground. for instance. Fol-
lowing the suggestions found in this
book one can cut the cost OF living
greatly. yet not reduce the amount OF

flower garden.

VIII OutliYe Bond Issue.

THE preparedness program on
which Congress has entered is not in
tended solely to assure us immediate
security from attack. but aims also to
assure the continued inviolability of
the nation, and practically all of the
other facilities provided for in the
revenue bill-the Alaska railroad the
nitrate and armor plate plants will
Outliye the twenty year serial bonds
with which / propose that they be
financed.
My plan provides for an even dis
tribution of the tremendous cost Of
these undertakings and permits those
for whose future security and well
fare we are preparing to contribute
their just share. The governments
liability for the redemption of these
bonds is not left TO some dim distant
date 70 descend upon the people at n
time when they are made TO pay g.,
for 7 have provided that one-twentieth
Of the entire bond issue shall be re-
tired every year until the entire is
sue has been withdrawn
Il do not think 10 proper that we
should take the entire cost Of these
unprecedented projects out of the pri-
vate and corporate incomes Of a sin
gle year and I feel confident that the
plan I have suggested will meet with
wide approval when its provisions are
understood"

Now it is the turn of the American
fleet to be lost somewhere in the

Navy Department has suspended pub
lication of daily bulletins giving the
movements of warships, and Secrc-
tary Daniels has requested the cor
respondents not even TO speculate
concerning the whereabouts of the
units of the fleet.
Respecting this request, I do not
intend TO hazard a guess as to what
has become of our first line Of de-

URGES BOND issue
FOR new EXPENSES
Senator Weeks Suggests
$685. ,47O, Payable in
20 Years, Instead of Tax
PAYMENT NOW NOT
FAIR, HE SAYS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. Senator
Weeks Of Massachusetts introduced on
Saturday a substitute to the Democrat
ic revenue bill eliminating the excess
profits tax and the increased inheri-
lance tax and providing for a twenty
year serial bond issue amounting to
S766. 945, AGO to cover the preparedness
program and all other items included
in the measure recently reported by
Chairman Simmons of the Finance
Committee
A special preparedness fund similar
in purpose to that contained in the
Democratic measure, but composed
entirely of money to be derived from
the sale of the proposed bonds to the
amount Of S4O0O00,0OO. is provided in
the Weeks measure Funds TO reim-
burse the Treasury for its expendi-
ture in the Mexican situation; nitrate
and armor plants; for the Alaska rail-
road; purchase Of the Danish West
Indies; shipping board and for the
redemption Of the Spanish-American
war loan, are provided in the same
manner.
Provision Is made for the gradual
retirement of all the bonds issued so
they will expire at the end of twenty
years.
VIII Leave s175.OOO,OOO Free.
The plan proposed by Senator
Weeks for financing the government,
If adopted Will leave untouched the
additional revenue derived from the
revenue act of last year amounting 10
Sl75,000,0 600, which under the Demo-
cratic revenue measure would be-
come a part of the preparedness fund
and will therefore make it available
20 cover any further appropriations for
submarines and other objects OF de-
Tense.
Speaking Of his proposed substitute
today Senator Weeks said:
1T is generally conceded that when
the government eXDends its money for
purposes which will benefit equally
the future and the present generation,
the burden Of that expense should not
rest entirely on those who see the eX-
pendituros initiated. II requires only
a casual reading OF the items for
which Congress Is now asked to pro-
vide to reveal that they are no ordi-
nary propositions or solely for the
benefit of the present. and that the
unds necessary for carrying them out
hould not be contained all in one
ear, but should be spread over a
period OF at least five years as pro-
ided in the proposed amendment 1
