TAKES UP CENSOR'S DUTIES

Control of publicity In connection
with the governments war activities
has been placed by President Wilson
in the hands of committee of public
information, whose task will be to
safeguard secrets of value to the
enemy and at the same time to see
that all affairs of the nation are laid
before the people as fully and frankly
as possible. The committee named by
the president is made up of Secre-
taries Lansing, Baker and Daniels,
who recommended the step, with
George Creel, magazine writer, as
civilian chairman. Announcement Of
it's creation was made in this executive
order made public at the White
House:
ST hereby create committee on
public information, to be composed Of
the secretary Of state, the secretary of
war, the secretary Of the navy, and
civilian, who shall be charged with the
executive direction of the committee.

binary cultivation would be utterly fruftless. For
best results plants need aeration at the roots II
air cannot penetrate to the roots the plant Ian
cuisines and dies from suffocation. When the sur
face of the ground is covered with water the
plant suffers iii the same way and for the same
reason. The Sandwich beds neither be
drowned nor smothered. The air circulates
through the several layers of material, and it too
much water is applied. it readily passes through
the fbrous beds and does no harm. Other adj
vantages of these beds are that the fertility is
placed just where it be easily absorbed and
assimiated up earlier than does the natural SOIL
and the decayng of fbrous material retains
moisture to such extent that only nominal
quantity of hydrant water is required
A steel garden rake, spadng fork, small garden
trowe long handled shovel manure fork,
and small hand sprayer are about all the tools
that need be purchased. Mr.. Albaugh
small hand sprayer which is cheap and very
satisfactory 1t has quart Mason glass jar
for a reservoir, and has the advantage of blow
ing the spray at right angles from the barrel OF
the machine. With it the under side of the leaves
can be effectually reached, and this is often es-
sential to success. The barrel should be of brass,
as many spraying compounds are corrosive on
iron. With this little machine, and supply of
bordeaux mixture, hellebore,a tobacco extract or
tea, paris green aphine etc., the careful gardener
is well fortified against attacks of insects and
fungi.
The provisioning of the country will be much
aided by the educational work among boys and
girls of the United States which has been carried
on through the cooperation of the department of
agriculture and the rural school garden clubs of
the various states. The younger generation has
been stimulated in the raising of vegetables and
fruits on waste land and in the backyards in
the cities and towns.
An example Of what can be accomplished by
the pupils of rural schools was strikingly demon
strated last year by the Cook County, Illinois.
Garden club which had membership Of 1887.
The club cultivated over 26O acres of land, upon
which grew nearly $4,000 worth Of vegetables
After deducting expenses the club members had
net profit of $41,e2928. If these 1887 boys and
girls had not grown these gardens, probably %
per cent of them would have been idle-dOiag
nothing throwing away time and energy. The
gardens gave helpful exercise, stimulated interest
and encouraged thrift and ownership.
The economic side of the problem is aston
ishing but greater still, and of far more Inn
portance, is the wholesome, moral influence
brought to bear upon the lives of these young
people who are receiving most excellent training
in doing worthwhile things.

STANCH FRIEND OF AMERICA

Brazil has two motives in deter
mining her course toward Germany.
The torpedoing by the German subma-
rine of the Brazilian steamer Parana
is one; matured international policy
is another. Rrazil's diplomatic note,
in response to Germany's notice Of I'M
restricted submarine warfare, was
sufficiently vigorous. to indicate that
the destruction of Brazilian vessels
under such circumstances would be
sufficient to cause the breaking off of
diplomatic relations, with the proba-
bility OF state of war to follow.
In this respect the situation is ex-
actly parallel to that of the United
States. Brazil, in the torpedoing Of
the Parana, has the same reason that
we have to regard Germany as MAX
ing war upon her.
Brazil has the further motive for
taking warlike action in that this is

PROTECTOR OF WILD LIFE

There is no more resolute and in
defatigable defender of wild life than
Doctor Hornaday. The campaign be-
gun by him last fall to prevent the i'm
minent determination of the sage
grouse, other grouse, and quail in the
states west of the Mississippi river has
met with gratifying success. Seven
legislatures out of nineteen have
needed the warnings and appeals adj
dressed to them by the Permanent
Wild Life Protection fund, of which
Doctor Hornaday is trustee, to save
their valuable upland game birds
from total destruction. In five states,
Iowa, Utah, Nevada, Idaho and New
Mexico, the laws demanded have been
passed, and in two others, Montana
and Washington, measures for protec-
ton in part have been enacted.
In Iowa the friends of wild life,
after a three months battle with the
organized hunters of the state, won a
sweeping victory in the legislature in
