 Garden and Children" by James Op- penheim, in Countryside: Gardens are like children Ana ne who loves garden Knows the possession of delicate things Mystic with possibly glory; Knows how out of seeds If only the soil be rich and sweet, And the weeds pulled, And the weather propitious, All the love he may lavish, The thought and toll he may bending give Will bring up out of the earth Flares of color, Drifts of fragrance Living contours of form That in their summer passing Shall give back the trouble and sustain
 ing joy Of children that turn out well. This garden is a vision of what the hu-
 man world may be When we can be much gods to children As We are gods to flowers; When the joyous mothers can give the
 years To enriching the soil And roofing out weeds and poisons, And pruning, and sprinkling. and shell
 tering, So that the human buds may open Into banks of dancing flowers, Blowing their laughter into the summer

Eat Plenty of "Roughage'

In the American Magazine, pr. Arthur R. Reynolds says:
 "Roughage should form a part of every meal and the quantity should be suffi- cient to accomplish its purpose; natu- rally some people require more than others. Its use should begin in child life and continue to the end of old age.
 These elemental facts should be drilled into the mind of every child until they are understood. It is a more important item of education than the multiplication table. and one that is wholly neglected. Substantially. no one grows to maturity with any actual knowledge of the func- tons of the intestines or how they should be treated. The rule herein laid down. to eat roughage and plenty of it. will do the work. and just as surely as the sun will rise in the morning it will improve the complexion, improve the health, over come a universal physical fault that Is the basic cause of bad complexion, as well as of other and innumerable ills.
 We must get back to first principles and eat food as nature presents it and as nature intended we should eat it. Then we can throw physic to the dogs and the desert of the human complexion will blos- som as the rose

War Stocks Rise
 As Wilson Calls
 Special Session

New York, March 21-President Wilson's call for an extra session of congress a fortnight in advance of the date originally named was received in Wall street shortly before the open ing of the stock market.
 First prices were firm to strong, war shares rising one to three points. United States Steel was the conspicu- ous feature, however, it's first offering comprising 25,O00 shares at 117A to 117A, an extreme gain of s4.
 Shipping also displayed marked strength but railroads were little changed except for a three point rise in jSeaboard Air Line preferred.
 Recessions of one to two points created some confusion in the first half hour, with Eregularity resulting from profit taking as we'll as short selling on the part of traders who took the ground that latest develop ments might precipitate liquidation by investors.
 Munitions, marines and equipments led the decline just as they had been foremost in the early advance, and United States Steel registered an ex- treme loss of 1-8 points.
 Fresh buying set in at the lower level and by II o'clock the market was again headed upward.

 STOCK MARKET 

New York, March 21-Opening- The stock markets response to the latest news from Washington indi- eating a more acute phase in the in ternational crisis was an opening ad- vance of one to three points, war shares and shippings showing great est strength. Trading was feverishly active and broad except in railroads, where few noteworthy changes were recorded. Large blocks of specula- tive favorites, especially United States Steel and other industrials, as well as metals and, prominent specialties changed hands at gains ranging from fractions to more. than a point. The rise was met by considerable profit taking and short selling which caused material recessions. Before the end of the first half hour many stocks had relinquished all their gains and some were selling a point or more under yesterdays closing.
 Noon-The setback of the first hour was soon overcome most leaders mak- ing almost complete recovery, while specialties of the more obscure class rose substantially over early quota tions Steel was among the first to recover This rally also proved of short duration, prices yielding again on the increasing aggressiveness of the short interest At midday, the list became active again with further advances in the war group. Bonds were irregular.

a good potting soil. The plants should have more ventilation in the cold frame, but should not receive so much water. It is best to keep the soil rath- CT dry.
 In transplanting, remember that plants usually thrive better if trans planted into ground that has been freshly cultivated. Transplanting to the open field is best done in cool, cloudy weather, and in the afternoon. This prevents the suns rays from causing the plant to lose too much moisture through evaporation. In transplanting, the gardener will find a child's express wagon an excellent trolley tray for bedding out his seed lings.
