TIE RETAIL MENACE.

Government action in food price
regulation has had some splendid
results. No careful observer Of
events ran doubt that without such
action, prices would now be at a
prohibitive height.
But the abuses have not all been
eliminated. True big sharks have
had their teeth effectively extracted,
but there are still a multitude Of
smaller fry whose activities are %
strenuous az ever.
For instance, reports come from
various cities that prices OF veg
stables and perishnbel fruits hnv'
been exceptionally high, while in
these same localities farmers have
had these commodities 10 spoil on
their hands for want OF marfet.
There can be but one reason for
this-collusioH between the refill
ers. This collubi0n Is greatly aided
By the average city marketing regu-
laiions. In most cities the restrict
ions placed on husksters and ped
oilers = very stringent. These re.
st%riciions virtually protect the re.
tailers from all competition, so thr'
the "gentlelnen's agreement" Il
crslly maintained.

Just now this Is a familiar phrase
In American life Exactly what Is In
tended to be conveyed by the phrase
many do not seem 10 understand.
n might be well 10 study u closely II
we are 10 be loyal citizens as n
government expects us TO be.
First Il Is not al all necessary that
we actually minister 10 the enemy's
material wants, in order 10 come
under the meaning Of the term.
There are a thousand and one ways,
indirect ways-of aiding an enemy.
Our present enemy Is fully aware Of
this fact. and his knowledgs IL shown
Ia bic extraordinary activity in our
country.
One Of the most effective ways TO
aid a cause Is 10 destroy the morale
OF is opponents. II disseniion and
strife can be sown in lie ran =, tbs
themselves will soon bring about
is downfall without much effort on
the part OF its opponent.
Unfortunately, there seems 10 be
current In this country an idea that
any course Of action is permissible
that Is not directly prohibited by
statute law. Acting on this assump-
ton. opponents Of the government
claim the right 10 critieise this gov
ernmenl's actions because Of dis
loyalty In exercising a plain right
guaranteed by the constitution.
Fortunately. however. this same
question has arisen before in this
country. In the war between the
States. President Lincoln had the
same dimculty 10 contend with, and
he went directly 10 the root Of the
matter and defined for all time the
rights Of citizens a. 10 freedom Of
speech in times Of national peril.
Hear him:
~He who dissuades one man from
volunteering. or induces one soldier
10 desert, weakens the Union cause
as much as he who Kills a Union
soldier in battle. Yet this discussion
or inducement may be so conducted
as 10 be no defined crime Of which
any civil court would take cogni-
vance"
President Lincoln went farther
and asserted the indisputable right
Of the government 10 suppress all
action and speech that had for Ne
object or tended 10, the weakening
Of the morale Of the government
forces.
Men Of America. our sons and
brothers will soon be on the firing

pie that know no master. They will

friends, while they are haring their

There is no more fashionable trims ming than narrow braid applied over stamped design, and this gown shows it attractively and sn1artly used. The design is one of the best for every modification and every suggestion of the Greek Fret, is beautiful. The gown itself consists of an over bodice and skirt and a separate blouse. In this case all three are made of one material, only the collar and the cuffs being of contrasting silk, but 1t would be easy to vary the design by making the blouse of something quite different from "c over bodice and the skirt. Tafeta for example, for the over- portion and skirt with Georgette crepe for the blouse would make a very pretty effect, or if serge gown is wanted, the blouse could be made of crepe de chine or of Georgette crepe or of taffeta as the case might be. A great many soft quiet tones such as beige and grey, will be used this season with touches of brightness. A grey gabardine would be handsome braided with grey as this is here, and with the under blouse of grey Georgette crepe, but the drapery faced with American. Beauty satin and the brighter color re- appearing in the trimming of fthe blouse, to give touch of brilliancy and vivid ness to the whole. The skirt is quite simple one in four pieces. The front and back form box-plaits but the sides are draped to form soft and grace full folds. As matter of course, any other finish can be used in place of the braid and there are many that are fashionable. Embroidery in wool thread or in heavy silk thread is much liked and very simple designs are used. that are exceedingly easy of execution. Straight rows of braid would be hand- some on some materials or bands of contrasting material if liked. Dark blue gabardine would be handsome with black braid arranged in straight repe, while the collar and cuffs are of ln1e. There is a great tendency to- me hand and Colonial yellow on the

calls for a very large battery on each car which has to be charged at termi- nal stations, cause of no inconsider- able delay and bother. Another device is called the head-end system, where there is provided special electric gen. erating equipment on the engine for supplying the lighting energy needed by the cars trailing along behind. This is cumbersome and so open to other objections that the plan is seldom adopted.
 What appears to be the most sensi- ble device is the axle-driven unit sys- tenn, which makes each car an inde- pendent unit, goes about its own busi- ness, charges it's own battery en route and is in every way sufficient unto it. self. The operating department ham, dies cars and trains oblivious of light ing problems, as it has only to couple the cars and airhose. There are no spe- cial switching of cars, no interference and no delay.

THREE PROJECTS IN. PANAMA
Part of Scheme for Defense of Canal
 Under consideration-First Is Military Railroad. 4

Three important railroad projects as part of a defense scheme for the Pa mama canal have been under consider ation for some time and present condi- tions are likely to hasten their compile tion. First of these is the building of military railroad connecting Punta de Toro with the ruined fort of San Lorenzo at the mouth of the Chagres river. The latter point, which figured prominently in the history of the isth- mus under Spanish rlAe, commands the entrance of the lChagres river which admits of easy approach by water to the Gatun locks. As fortified posi- tion it would also have to be reckoned with by any military expedition direct ed at the cities of Colon or Panama. The primary object in the construction of the road is the rapid transportation of troops and military equipment from Fort Sherman to San Lorenzo in case hostilities were attempted by way of the Chagres. The road will be six to eight miles long and will be of i've foot gauge, the standard in use on the Panama railroad. The road will be part of an elaborate defense scheme and will cost from $75O,OOO to $SOO,- GOO.
 Two other roads are projected which are not primarily of military character, but would be useful in case of hOstili- ties. The Panama national assembly has a bill under consideration DrOvid- ing for the construction of q railroad in the province of Chiriqui extending from the town of La Conception through Divala to a point in the bay known as Charco Azul to be deter mined on later. The line will be a branch of the Chiriqui railroad now in operation. It is expected to add great ly in the industrial development of Chiriqui, one of the richest and most fertile sections of the country. The assembly is also considering the con- struction by the United States and Pa mama jointly of a series of railroads and highways connecting the cities of Panama and Colon with points in the interior. Such roads, it is believed, would help the growth of the cities as well as the development of the interi- or. Under the provisions of pro- posed bill Panama is to pay 30 per cent of the cost of construction and the executive is authorized to treat with the United States government through a special mission.

HOW TO PRUNE BLACKBERRIEs
Better to Leave Some Varieties Until
Blossoms Bud-Set Eldorado and
Minnewaska In Fall.

In the cultivation Of blackberries the
preference Is for low pruning. but
some varieties show lack Of uniformity
In their manner Of bearing fruit. At
times most of 1t will be found close to
the main stalk, and at other times 1t
will be well out on the laterals. 1t Is
better to leave such varieties until the
blossom buds show before pruning In
order to gauge the amount of fruit
which should be produced.
Wilson's Early sets fruit buds thick
Iy near the base Of the laterals, and
should, consequently, be pruned close
ly on the side growth. Early harvest
requires a longer pruning Of the later
ais. Eldorado and Minnewaska are
good kinds. Plant In fall.

VARIETIES OF HoRsE-RADIsH
MaIInsr kren or Bohemian Arc Con-
sldered superior-Time For Plant
ing 10 In Spring.

The best variety of horse-radish is
the Maliner Kren or Bohemian. The
root cuttings can be had from any of
the leading seedsmen. The cuttings
are made cut straight across at top
and sloping at the lower end, SO that
1t is easy to distinguish between them
In planting. ..
The time for planting is in the
earliest spring, and the early cab
bage plantation is one Of the best
places. Punch holes In the rows mid
way between the cabbage plants with
crowbar and put the root cutting
In perfectly straight. Then, after the
cabbages are cut, the horse-radishes
are cultivated through the season.
An application between the rows Of
$50 pounds of nitrate Of soda per acre
will promote the rapid growth of the
roots.
The crop Is dug in late fall and the
roots trimmed, the side roots cut prop
erly and buried in bundles for the win
ter, and the main roots put on the mar
ket. The roots are at their best at
one seasons growth, and will decrease
in value If left longer. The main roots
are sold by the ton usually.
