soil conditions and may be count
ed on to succeed in any but ex-
tremely heavy or very sandy
soils. Many of them will do well
even on such soil types. The
principal essentials are thorough
drainage and a plentiful supply
of organic natter. with a rea-
sonably constant water supply
during the growing season. In
general, u soil capable of grow
ing good garden or field crops is
suitable for roses. The deeper
the soil and the better the prep
aration at the beginning tbs
more satisfactory will be the re-
suits.
The bsst fertilizer for roses is
rotted COW manure, though any
other well rotted manure or
good compost will serve the pur-
pose. Fresh manure, especially
horse manure. should be avoid
ed, though if no other manure
is available it may be used with
extreme care. 1t must not come
in direct contact with the roots
when planting, nor should any
quantity of it be used immedi-
ately beneath the plant TO cut
off direct connection. with the
subsoil and the water supply.
OF the commercial fertilizers
ground bone is excellent as addi-
tional food. 1t will not, how
ever, answer as a substitute for
an abundant supply of compost.
Cottonseed meal, where it is
cheap enough. may be used as a
substitute for bone. Wood ashes
are sometimes a helpful addi-
ton. or when they are not avail
able lime and muriate of potash
may be used and should be ap-
piled separately. Rose growers
having only sandy soils should
make more frequent applications
of manure than those dealing
with the heavier soils, since the
organic matter burns out more
rapidly in a soil rich in sand.

How can we hope to give stability
to our great national asset, industry,
when from 1909 to 1916 our state and
national assemblies enacted 7S,74S new
statutes, many of which related to
business?
Neither employer nor employee can
expect benefits from a business where
the balance sheet does not show dol
lars and cents to pay with.

his business he will be given an oppor
tunity to say so under oath. But the
point of view will not be the advan'
tage or disadvantage to private bust
ness, but to the government and the
national defense. Enterprises in nc
way related to the national defense
and the war will find it more difficult
to get their men exempt than those i'm.
mediately connected with the manu-
facture of supplies or agriculture.

upon the question of dependent rela-
tives and whether the individual is or
is not an official of the executive, legis.
lative or judicial branches of the state
or national governments. They will ex-
anime for serious physical disabilities,
but a second examination will be given
on entrance to the army itself.
Third.-The federal review boards.
about fifty in all, will travel through
the several judicial districts of the
United States and hear and examine
applicants. for exemptions. The compo-
sitiOn of the federal review board is
one of the most important things on
which the special committee in the pro-
vost marshal's office is now working.
The hope is to select a leading engi-
neer or technical man, a leading bust
ness man and a lawyer and possibly
a labor representative, all to be men of
the highest repute, indorsed, doubtless,
as to character and integrity by the
federal judges.
NorthcIiffe a Live Wire.
Lord Northcliffe, who has been APP
pointed head of the British war mis-
sion in the United States, will fill the
place left vacant when Arthur j. Bal
four, secretary of foreign affairs, re
turned to England. His task will be to
coordinate the various British mis-
sions and to act in concert with the
missions of the entente allies and the
American and Canadian governments.
This is the first political post that
Lord Northcliffe, through his newspa-
pers probably the most influential man
in England, has accepted since the out
break of the war, although his name
has been advanced many times.
T. is significant that the premier,
with whose sanction the appointment
Is now made, was brought to his pres

ence.]-"If 1 am called as a member of
the conscripted army, when will l have
to report?"
This is a question that is being asked
by a large majority of the 100000
men who registered on Tuesday, June
8. AS yet it has not been officially
stated, and it may be a week or two
before the officials here complete the
plans. 1t can be stated with practical
certainty, however, that the men who
their present positions before Aug. 10
or Sept. l, although in all probability
the process of selecting those who are
to serve will be completed before that
date.
The government will give the men six
weeks OF two months to get their bust
ness affairs in shape before answering
the call to arms and assist in bringing
a victorious peace to democracy.
Many Boards of Exemption.
The number of exemption boards will
be almost as numerous as were the
registration boards. The government
has pledged itself that every man who
registered will be afforded absolute
fairness and justice if he cares to enter
a plea for exemption. The district ex-
emption boards, which will be made up
of neighbors of the applicants, are not
the final authority. Boards Of review
will sit in each federal court district
to hear and judge the cases of those
who believe that they have not been
justly used by the local exemption
boards.
Another task rests upon the Shout
ders of the country in general-the
tracking down of the slackers who have
lodged registration. The government
will depend largely upon the people for
information. 1t believes that men and
the relatives of men who have faced
the issue with courage will be only too
eager to report the others.
This principle began to work out of
its own accord in New York city. Au-
thorities there received scores Of let
tiers and telephone calls from neighbors
of 'quitters." All of these cases will
be investigated, and in addition a house
to house canvass has been begun by
federal agents and police.
Arrests for evading the draft have so
far been few and scattered. Except for
the Ute and Navajo Indians and a Rus
sian colony in Arizona, there has been
no organized attempt to resist registra-
ton. In the above cases the hostility
seems 10 have been born of ignorance.
Outline of Regulations.
The regulations, when finally draft
ed, will be carefully examined by Pres
ident Wilson himself and will not be
promulgated until he has approved
them in detail. The general principles
which will govern them follow:
First.-The individual will not be re-
quired to make a plea for exemption If
his name is drawn In the drafting proc
ess. If an employer considers that
the services of an employee are indis-
pensable to the successful conduct Of

Lesson in German KuItur.

Il have just come from a pri-
vate dinner" said Ambassador
Gerard in a recent address in
New York. "And there | met a
man who recently arrived from
Belgium. He told me the story
of a young Countess of seven
teen who was accosted by Ger
man officer on the street. She
repulsed him and was promptly
arrested.
The Countess was taken to
court where she had as the Off
Ger put it, insulted him, she was
given four months in the COM
mon prison. The girls grand
mother, a woman of eighty, ap-
peared in behalf of her grand
daughter, and when she object
ed to so severe a penalty she
was sentenced to three months
in the same prison. The IRON
zeal part was that later the Off
Ger, Count Metternich, made the
astonishing discovery that the
convicted Countess was his cous-

Mr.. Gerard told of the horrors
of the Wittenberg prison and of

dead of joy when told he was to

name prison at Ruhlehen.

that the New York factory, with

Supreme Test of the Nation.

This Is the message of President Wilson
TO the farmers of America:
'Thc supreme test of the nation has
come. We must all speak, act and serve
together. We cannot win this war unless
You produce enough to feed u and our
allies. We must supply not only food
for ourselves, our armies and our seamcn.
but also for a large part of the nations
with whom We now have made common
cause"
This warning is served upon those
who have monopolized the food products
of the nation for the purpose of swelling
their own Golfers:
THE course of trade shall be as un-
hampered as it is possible to make it
and there will be no unwarranted monop-
of the nations food supply by
those who handle it on its way to the con
sumner. This is our opportunity to demon
strate the efficiency of a great democracy.
and We shall not fall short Of TIT
Worth Record.
