GETTING READY TO GARDEN

b Don't allow an one to tell you that
"any one can grow vegetables" Any
one who knows how, can; but lot of
people. while loaded down with the
DRY, have very little practical knowl-
edge of plant culture, and they have
to learn a few lessons. The first
thing to do is to get your ground in
good condition, through spading, or
blowing, raking and pulverizing the
soil, and not any back yards are rich
enough to grow things well without
an application of soil food. Study ev-
erything you can get your hands on
that teaches the lesson, and if you
have a neighbor who is a successful
grower of garden stuffs, don't hest
tate to ask him how he does it, But
apply yourself and use lot Of com
mon sense. Get your seeds from re-
liable firm; don't buy them at de-
partment stores, or from street stands.
The best is never too good, and only
the reliable seed firms have these.
Yon cannot buy good seeds for no
thing. Remember that everything
will cost its full value this season. If
YOU buy manure, don't take chip"
manure, for that is slow to heat, and
will check the growth of your plants.
In cities and elsewhere, the bedding
for horses is often shavings from the
various factories, because straw or
hay is too costly to be used, but no
matter how cheap the shaving manure
/ is, it will not serve in your gardens.
! Many things can be started in boxes
/ in the house long before it is warm
enough outside for them; but if you
start them indoors, you must trans
plant them into other boxes, as they
grow. because if allowed to grow too
thickiy they will be "spindling" and
frail. Transplanting will make them
stocky, and able to stand transplant
ing outside when the time comes
Little thumb-pots made of paper, filled
with dilt, and the seeds planted in
! each Of these (three to six seeds in
each) and the thumb-pots set in shall
low trays with tell sifted in between,
will make good growth, and when too
large for the travs, can be shifted In
to larger paper pots and set in othe'
soil-filled trays, and when the soil
outdoors is warm, they can be slipped
into the ground without disturbing
the delicate roots. To make sue
cess Of your gardening, you mus
know a whole lot, and it is tin1e you
began looking into the subject fror1
all sides.

DEMOCRATS IN eleventh DIS.
TR,cT SEE HOPE OF RETURN
ING STEELE TO CONGRESS.
SAY BALLOTS IN LYON
COUNTY TAMPERED WITH
Contest Over County Office Brings to
Light Evidence That Envelopes Had
Been Opened and Effort Will Be
Made to Have Entire Vote Of County
Thrown Out.

Sioux City, Jan. 4.-Dscoyery Of
where Geoge Scott, republican, led Tom
STEELE, democrat, for congress by a total
of 80 votes. is expected to have di-
rect bearing on the outcome of the con-
test to be made by Steele. Scott de-
feated Steele, according to the returns,
by total of 131 votes. If the vote Of
Lyon county is thrown out on account
of the tempered ballots, STEELE probably
will win the seat in the house.
The discovery was made by the con-
test board taking evidence in the con-
test of C. P. Hatch against +. j. Reigel
for the authorship of Lyon county.
Tempered ballots We're found in three
precincts. In Rock Rapids there were
thirty ballots that had been tempered

cinctn there were fifteen and eight re-

the new ENVELOPES was not the same

charged.
Whoever tempered with the ballots
did not discriminate as to the marking.
On ballots where the voter had voted
for Hatch Il cross with an indelible
pencil would be placed in front of Rel
gels name and vice versa. The same
plant was used in remarking the bal
lots for Scott and Steele according to
the information received here.
Under the election laws, the discOv-
cry of the tempered ballots will have
no effect upon the authorship uf Lyon
county and the result will remain the
same as first announced. with Reigel
leading Hatch by 20 votes. The law
states that where a discovery is made
of tempered ballots in any township,

Another loan Of $75.ooo.oo was made

A payment Of $4,000, 900 also was made
to Italy today as part Of the s100, 600. 900
loan announced some time ago. The Ital-
ian government already had received s25.-

Today's transactions complete the gov
ernment's program for May, it is under
stood. although all of the money loaned
to the entente governments has not been
withdrawn from the United States Treas
ury.
In the case of Belgium, to which a
loan OF $4b,O0O.OO0 was announced, only
$7,500.0 900 has been withdrawn. and the

payments over five months Russia has

JAPAN WITHDRAWING
GOLD FROM AMERICA
Rapid Rate Of Export From q. S.
Causes Officials Here to Specu-
late on Meaning.

Japan is withdrawing gold from the
United States at a rate which has
caused considerable interest and some
speculation as to the meaning of the
movement. Approximately $4,000, ,o00
has been withdrawn since January !
and other Withdrawals are expected in
the near future.
officials here feel that the movement
is not fully accounted for by the bal
ance of trade. The possibility that
some OF the other allied governments
are paying their munitions bills to
Japan with gold in this country, made
available by the extension of credits by
this government, has been discussed.
but it is believed that this contingency
likewise would not account for tho
strong current of gold shipments west
ward. The gold supply at San Fran
cisco. from which shipments to Japan
point where the government has decid-
ed that the cost of transferring gold
across the country properly should be
borne by the interests intending to ship
it out of the country.
In addition the retention here of the
increased gold supply. largely accumu-
lated during the war, Is regarded as
highly desirable and its expectation is
discouraged.
= Treasury officials under existing laws
have no power to prohibit the exporta-
tion of gold. but must redeem gold GER
tificates with gold. The law provides
that this shall be done at Washington.
and the redemption Of such certificates
at subtreasuries in the past has been
purely through courtesy and for con-
venience of bankers. Should the heavy
export movement of gold continue. ii is
possible that the government may dis
continue the redemption Of certificates
at subtreasurfes and redeem them only
at Washington. when the gold thus
withdrawn Is intended for export.
