quantity of soil up around base to keep out sunlight
 Earth is best to blanch late celery. Draw up the soil around the plants, in a ridge three inches high Four or five days later push it ID still higher. Keep this up at same inter vas til arly all Of the plant is covered.
 Be careful that no dirt gets into the hearts of plants
 Before blanching inspect the celery care fully for rust. Ii rust is present, dirt should not be used for blanching.
 Ii you intend to store the celery for use in January, February and March, shade it one week. Bank it low--about six to eight inches high. This will start the blanching just enough Celery keeps better and longer if green.
 Your caulihower needs blanching, too, to be of good quality Otherwise it will be dark in color and poor in flavor Some varieties almost bianch themselves, but it's usually necessary to tie the leaves over the head soon after it begins to form You get better caulihower. The small heads of caulihower can be blanched by covering with paper. Some gar 1 deners prefer this way. If you wish information on any garden sub | feet. ask us.

An emerald free from flaws, would ic the most precious of all stones, ex- perts of the Smithsonian institution maintain in a recently published bull lctiu.
 Unfortunately it (the emerald) is seldom free from flaws and were this not rhe case an emerald would be of greater value, carat for carat, than the diamond.

 The advantages of the apartment house, with it's mixture of home and hotel. attract the modern city per son. Of course everybody doesn't want to live in an apartment. There must be residence dwellings and ho- tels, plenty of them, but there must also be an abundance of apartment houses to make city life complete.
 Tn Phoenix the demand for apart ment houses is rapidly growing. Sun court apartments were built at an opportune moment. There is still demand and the demand will con- tinue, and in consequence there will be still more apartment houses. Phoenix needs them. They must do their share to take care of the winter 'ush from the cold regions and sup ply the demand of a large perman- ent population which prefers apart ment house life to any other.

WAR WAS FORGED BY
 THREE MILITANTS
tSyracuse Post Standard)

We are beginning to set at some of the truth of what went on behind the scenes at Potsdam during the memor- able July three years ago, month full of imperial conference, hurried consul tations, saber rattlii g and mediation offers. But we are a long way from tne complete story.
 We believe, anu the world believes, that tlle kaiser lied when he said he knew nothing of Austrias demands upon Serbia for we have proof that iong before the ultimatum was sent there had been secret council of war in the kaisers stronghold. We have Zimmermanns additional admission that ke knew of the ultimatum four teen hours before it was delivered.
 in all the mass of conflicting stories the evehts preceding the war, one Of the most interesting though wholly circumstantial is that related of the kaiser and his satellites, Mol;lSe, Falkenhayn and Tirpitz.
 The four, it is said, were in confer cnce. The emperor wanted to accept Sir Edward Greys offer of mediation or localization of the war. Whereupon
 'Moltke, Falkenhayn and Tirpitz threw their swords on the table and offered ] their resignations.' The kaiser was ! persuaded to go o-l with the war.
 If this is so, it is interesting to sec 1 what happened to the three washbuck- l iers of Potsdam
 ! Moltke was relieved of his position i when the drive on Paris failed. His emperor held him responsible for the disaster, for he was chief of staff. | 3loltke died in disgrace.
 | Falkenhayn, who succeeded him as chief of staff, was driven from power after the defeat at Verdun. Fer months l his name was not heard. He has been restored to a subordinate command, but one never hears of further eX- l ploits of "Falkenhayn's army
 As for Tirpitz, that gentleman held command of the high seas fleet which only twice ventured out upon the high seas, until his command for greater ! frightfulness brought about his down.
 fall While the spirit of frightfulness
 which he conjured up still lives, its
 creator is disgraced.

Sunlight gives bitter taste to some plants We must shut it out This IS known as blanching, which really means zuhifening. Coloring matter is stopped from forming in the stems and leaves The plant is improved in flavor but more liable to decay Ii kept too warm or moist
 It's simple matter to blanch Endive. Simply gather the leaves above the center or the plant and tie them there.
 This excludes the sunlight from the heart which turns from green to yeilowish white Much of the bitter flavor is taken out in the process of blanching Celery always needs blanching. Too bitter in flavor to eat, and of dark unattractive color without it.
 Celery stalks that are well blanched will be of chalk white or golden yellow according to variety. The flavor will be sweet and tasty.
 We will first consider early blanching. Start bianching two to four weeks before har- vesting.
 Place boards ten to tWeiVe 1nCheS Wide. any length, along the sides of the rows. Have boards about six inches apart at bottom, lean ing in to two or three inches at top
 Press some soil against base of boards, and secure the tops with strips of wood on wire fasteners.
 If boards are hard to get, roofing paper oi the same width may be used instead.
 Keep it in place with wooden U shaped arches pushed into the soil.
 If you have only small number of celery plants, tile or paper cylinders will blancf them. Simply slip over f'2at, and press smal

LOCAL MATERIAL USED AT SUNCOURT BUILDING

One of the accomplishments the Suncourt apartment house manage ment boasts of is that practically all the work of construction was done To- cally. The material for construction was all ordered through local firms or people. The lumber was shipped from Oregon by order of the Bennett Lum- Der company.
 The Barrows Furniture company outfitted the house from its stock in trade. The concrete was all done by local people and the brick were bought at local brick yard. The hardware and other essentials came from Phoe- nix stores.

DESPAIRS OF BUILDING

Goethals Declares Plan Is "Simply
Hopeless" For Present Lack OF

New York, May 26.-Major General

the iron and steel institute, declared
the proposal to build 1000 3,000-ton
wooden ships in 18 months rs simply
hopeless
For that reason he said it had be-
come necessary to turn to steel as well
as wood.

vessels had been let In all directions,
but was unable to find plans or speci-
locations. When you consider that
birds are now nesting in the trees

10a knots and several additional
knots to escape submarines-why the
proposition is simply hopeless" said

TO keep CAMPS VICE FREE
IMMORAL ENVIRONMENT MUST
BE ELIMINATED.
Writes to Governors for Aid In the
Matter and Threatens to Move
Camps.

Washington, May as. - Secretary
Baker has made public letter he has
addressed to the governors of all
states, calling for cooperation in keep
ing the army mobilization camps free
from improved surroundings and i'm
moral influences.
"Our responsibility in this matter is
not open to question" the secretary
wrote. 1--WE cannot allow these young
men to be surrounded by vicious and
demoralizing environment, nor can we
leave anything undone which will pro-
tect them from unhealthy influences
and crude forms of temptation.
Many Soldiers at Critical Age.
"The greater proportion Of this
force probably will be made up of
young men who not yet have become
accustomed to contact with either the
saloon or the prostitute and who will
be at that plastic and generous period
of life when moods of indulgence serve
as outlets for exuberant physical vi
tally.
mot only have we an unacceptable
responsibility in this matter" to the
families and communities from which
these young men are selected, but from
the standpoint Of our duty and our de-
termination to create an efficient army
we are bound, as a military neces-
sity, to do everything In our power to
promote the health and conserve the
vitality of the men in the training
camps.
Asks Local Cooperation.
II am determined that our new
training camps as well as the surround
ing zones within an effective radius
shall not be places Of temptation and
peril We are not going to be able to
obtain the conditions wanted without
the full cooperation Of the local
authorities. Will you give earnest con.
sideration to this matter in your par
ticular state?
"If the desired end cannot be other
wise achieved, I propose to move the
camps from these neighborhoods in
which clean conditions cannot be Sc
cured"

SPIES IN THIS COUNTRY GAVE
ADVANCE INFORMATION OF
COMING OF THE AMERI-
CAN FLEET.
NEW HUNT FOR SPIES ON;
ROPE AWAITS OFFENDERS
Admiral Sims Cables Startling News
OF Activity and Efficient Work of
German Spies Operating on
This Side-censors to Re-
double Vigilance.

Washington, May 26. = Four days
before the American destroyer fotilla
arrived abroad Berlin knew it was on
the way and to what port it was going,
and the day before the vessels steamed
into Queenstown German submarines
had strewn mines about the harbor
entrance. This startling information,
revealing that German spies not only
still at at their work In this country,
but that they have swift and sure
means of communicating America
war secrets to the fatherland came to
the navy department In cablegram
from Rear Admiral Sims at London.
Asserts information Is Positive.
The admiral said his information
was positive. His dispatch was not
made public and for obvious reasons
nothing will be given out concerning
how the news came into his possession
nor about the precautions which de-
feated the German plans and enabled
the fiotilla to speed safely through the
mine fields.
Immediate publicity was given the
salient fact, however, the department
making clear that it's purpose was to
let the people know OF the activity and
success of Teutonic spies and to en-
phAsize the necessity for absolute Sc
crecy about American naval operations
and shipping movements.
The destroyers now In European
waters under Admiral Sims put into
port at Queenstown May 16. How long
they were in crossing the Atlantic, nor
from what port they sailed never has
been announced and until word Of
their arrival came by cable only few
people In the United States even knew
of the governments decision to send
warships to Europe.
Hanging of Spies Likely.
The result will redouble the vigil
ance of the censors and of every
agency of the government engaged in
roofing out the spy system. Now that
the country is at war and the revela-
ton of it's secrets may mean death to
Its sailors, swift punishment undoubt-
eddy would be melted out to any con-
victed spy. Spying now Is likely to
lead to the gallows.

Only one Day to Register.

The war department wishes to i'd
press upon the people that there is
only one day for registration. All
males between the designated ages
must register on the day set. The fact
that five days were allowed for the
placing Of the necessary blank forms
in the hands of registrars appears to
have misled some headline writer's
One day only-the day fixed in the
presidents proclamation-will be de
voted to registration.

ITALYs LOSSES ARE 100000
Envoy Denies That Nation Is Not

Washington, May 26.-Italy is fight

in this war that President Wilson
laid down in his war address, said
Vittorin Falorsi, attache Of the Italian
war mission in an address to the Ma
tional Press club. The kingdom would
have been traitor to civilization, he
declared, If it had not joined the AL
lies.
Some people say Italy is not fight
ing in this war. The total number Of

ready reach 200. 900 and she is prepar-
ed to meet four times that loss II

NnQuishing the command of the Rus

If the improvement continues and
