AN OVERT ACT

The overt act" which, will
undoubtedly mean war with Ger
many, has been committed in the
sinking by German submarines
of three American steamships,
City of Memphis, Illinois and
Vigilancia, resulting in fifteen
Americans losing their lives.
One of these vessels, the Wig
ilancia, had fully complied with
the German note, which insisted
that all American vessels should
have the flag and her name paint
ed on either side. The Vigil
ancia was also flying the Ameri-
can flag.
There can hardly be any doubt
but that the commanders of the
German submarine boats have
all been informed by their gov
ernment of the provisions in the
German note, and the destruc-
tion of the three American ves-
sells was deliberately carried out
by these officers.
Germany wants war with the
United States and she should be
tsonHtfy accommodated. ,..L

A COMMENDABLE ACT

The conference committee o1
railroad managers beat the United
States Supreme Courts decision
that the Adamson law was con.
stitutional several hours, by
authorizing President Wilson'S
mediators to make whatever ar.
rangements were necessary with
the railroad brotherhoods to cal
off the threatened strike.
This decision of the railroad
managers virtually put a stop tc
the strike and in view of the i'm.

Coburn Comments
on Advertising

"Exaggeration and the use of
Superlatives in the printed as in
the spoken word, inevitably re-
act to the discredit of the one
employing them. Yet some ad-
vertisers plunge on blindly, over
stating the merits of their pro-
duct, blatantly claiming all the
super-excellences for their wares
and then wonder that their more
conservative competitor outsells
them." Such was the statement
made by Andrew E. Coburn,
Advertising Manager of the Max
well Motor Company. Continu-
ing he said: "Modesty and a
firm respect for the precise truth
are qualities that are certain to
command respect-2partly thru
their inherent charm and partly
through the infrequency of their
use."
Maxwell advertising endeav-
ors to convince by means of a
careful and simple presentation
of pertinent facts. We believe
in simplicity for it is a full brother
to truth and it begets conviction.
Moreover most of us are very
simple people and prefer to listen
to the language, we understand" "
Another thought ] might
mention is this: every advertise
ment ought to do more than
merely interest the reader in the
merchandise. 1t ought to create
a favorable impression concern
ing the company behind that
merchandise. The important
thing is to get the public conf

PROHIBITIONS GREATEST STRIDE

The longest step of the prohi-
bition movement in the history
of the nation is the enactment of
the "bone-dry" law by congress,
remarks the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, for it means the absolute
exclusion of intoxicants for bev-
erage purposes from states which
forbid the sale of liquor, no mat
ter what their existing dry"
laws may provide.
The Detroit Journal points out
that the law destroys the trade
of saloons in wet territory which
live by filling bottles of dwellers
in prohibition states, it cripples
the mail-order business of whole
sale liquor-houses, and cuts down
the revenue of express companies.
1t is noted, moreover, that pro-
test against the law is strangely
meek" and the probable reason
is that the law has come like a
blast of lightning out of the sky
and rendered the army of the
vets almost voiceless."
Washington dispatches inform
us that the law was enacted as
an amendment to the Post Office
Appropriation Bill and that it
will affect at least fourteen dry"
states whic do not prohibit the
importation of certain quantities
rof liquor for personal use. An.
other provision forbids the postal
delivery of any publication or
correspondence bearing liquor
advertising in states that them
selves forbid such advertising,
within their borders. Prohi-
bition's increasing impetus is
apparent not only in this legis-
lation, various observers tell US,
but also in the ''bone-dry" en-
actments of such states as Kan.
sas and Tennessee, and the &C.
tion of congress in marking the
District of Columbia in among
the arid regions. Literary Di-

PRUNING OF TREES

S. B. johnson, Horticulturist,
University of Arizona, gives the
following timely advice regard.
ing the pruning of trees:
Definition: Pruning is the re.
moval of a part of a plant in
order that the remainder may
better serve our purpose.
Some pruning axioms:
/. The first three years prun-
ing is the most important in the
life of a tree.
2. Strong branches are nec-
essary to carry a good load of
fruit.
3. Branches making an L
with the trunk are stronger than
those making a V.
4. A short branch will carry a
heavier load than a longer branch
of the same diameter.
5. A tree normally branches
close to the ground.
6. Removing all of the low
branches exposes the tree to SUM-
scald.
General directions for pruning
different kinds of normal trees
in bearing. Maintenance prun-
ing:
The APPLE. Remove dead
and interfering branches during
the dormant period. Remove
sap sprouts as they start.
The PEACH. Cut off from one
third to one-half of the new wood
as the sap begins to move. Re-
move sap sprouts as they form.
Very vigorous growers may need
a little summer heading back.
The PEAR. Head back to
secure proper shape if it is nec-
essary. Otherwise prune same
as the apple.
The PLUM. Remove dead,
weak or interfering branches
during the dormant period. Some
varieties require a little heading
back.
The APRICOT. Remove dead,
weak or interfering branches
during the dormant period. Cut
back after the crop is removed
in proportion to the rate of
growth, to check the wood growth
and promote the formation of
fruit buds. Remove sap sprouts
as they start.
The ALMOND. Remove dead,
weak or interfering branches
during the dormant, season. A
light heading back will increase
the size of the nuts. Remove
sap SPROUTS as Trey start,

LAW IS CONSTITUTIONAL

The decision of the United
States Supreme Court Monday
that the Adamson law was con-
stitutional and enforceable in
every feature, puts quietus on
the theatened nationwide rail-
road strike and upholds the public
right to have interstate commerce
uninterrupted as a basic principle
paramount to interests of the
railroads or their operatives.
The decision practically holds
that the Adamson law is not only
constitutional, but that congress
has the supreme unrestricted
power to take any action neces-
sary to maintain freedom and
uninterruption of interstate COM
merce.
1t is also held by the Supreme
Court that in the emergency of a
threatened destructive suspen-
sion of national transportation,
Congress acted within its powers
in providing a wage standard and
other means necessary to protect
the public interests, and that the
Adamson law is neither unwork-
able, confiscatory, experimental,
nor in excess of congressional
railroad regularity authority, but
in effect was compulsory arbitra-
ton, a power which congress un-
doubtedly possesses.
The decision is a great victory
for the railroad men and also for
President Wilson, who insisted
on the passage of the Adamson
law by congress when the great
railroad strike of last fall was
threatened.
