LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 21.-Lafay-
cite has taken the lead in a movement
to systematic giving to war funds and
the plan which is being put into opera

ton that it is believed it will be adopt
ed in many cities in Indiana and other
states. The plan was originated by
the county council of defense and J. o.
1t was first submitted to the Central
Labor Union, which has a total mem
bership of more than 5000, and that
organization approved the plan. 1t is
now being laid before the students and
faculty Of Purdue university. 1t is the
intention to introduce it into every
church, fraternal organization and bus
mess establishment.
Pledges Regular Contributions.
Under the Lafayette plan, the indi'
vidual pledges himself to set aside a
certain per cent. of his monthly in
come to be contributed to patriotic en-
! terprises. He is provided with card
| which he signs and preserves, dupli
cate being kept on hand at headquar
tiers. The Individual, when he signs a
card, becomes a member Of the Tippe
canoe County Workers War Fund
Club, which has established offices
with a secretary, in connection with
| the county council of defense head
quarters.

HOBOKEN, n J., Dec. 21.-Drastic
steps against dishonest and nnpatriotic
merchants in New York were promis-
ed by John Mitchell, chairman of the
Federal food board OF New York, in
an address at West Hoboken tonight,
when he declared that many of them
would be driven out Of business before
many weeks.
Mr. Mitchell declared II was the duty
Of all Americans, however, to ''mor.
tify'' their appetites until they could
say with all truth:
by self-sacrifice and true mortif-

States, have been able to sustain not
only our own armies, but those OF

three to four pounds of seed to the

When the young plants are strong
enough. thin gradually so that they
stand , to inches apart Keep the
surface of the ground open and free

care not to stir the soil too deeply

ASPARAGUS.

Plant s ounces to 100 yards of row.
10 pounds to one acre.
Every home with garden, in the
country or town should have a good
sized bed of asparagus. Nothing is
easier to plant or care for, and as 1t
is among the first fruits of the garden
it is a universal favorite In a COM
mercial way the supply is always mad
equate and the price high.
Forking the beds should not be neg
lected, as the early admission OF sun
and rain into the ground induces the
plants to throw up shoots of superior
size. Another step in the right direct
ion is to keep the ground entirely free
from weeds during the entire season
Crlture-Plaut seeds in hills ten t"
twelve inches apart, with rows two
feet apart dropping three to four seeds
to the hill and then thin to two plants.
Almost any light, warm soil will grow
asparagus, but land must be well pre-
pared and heavily MANFRED with only
.A,al.roited manure hcin" used, After
cutting has ceased plow the dirt away
from the roaws and fill in wit manure
then throw dirt back Broadcast com
mon salt at the rate of 20 bushels to

CRESS.

Curled, or Pepper Grass. This small
salad is much used with lettuce, to the
flavor of which its warm, pungent
taste makes very agreeable addition.
The seed should be sown in drills

ground, and the plants well cultivated.
Repeated sowing is necessary to Sc
cure succession
True Water Cress-This is quite dis
tinct from the former and thrives only
when it's roots and stems are submerg-
ed in water 1t is one of the most
delicious of small salads and should
be planted wherever suitable place
is found. The seed should be sown
and lightly covered in gravelly muck
lands along the borders Of small,
rapid stream. The plants will need no
subsequent. culture, as under favorable
conditions they increase very rapidly
by self-grown seeds and extension OF
roots

Culturc--for general use, sow in OPP

apart each way, putting a shovel of
well-rotted manure in each hill. Drop
to 7 seeds in each hill and when
vines start to run thin out to 2 plants.
If wanted very early, sow two or three
seeds in a 4inch pot and transplant to
open ground when danger of frost is
past. Gather the cucumbers when
ripe enough for use, whether required
or not; if left to ripen, the vines stop
bearing. Give frequent but shallow
cultivation until the plants make run
ners so long that this is impractical

can be grown to perfection by anyone
who can control few square yards
of reasonably good soil that is fully
exposed to the sun. Every family

EGG PLANT.

slowly and should be started in a hot
bed. The soil should be one part half
mold and one part sand loan. 1t is
important to secure rapid and con
tinuous growth Set o inches apart,
Inch off the large leaves when trans
planting. Four ounces Of seed will sup
1ly enough plants to set an acre. 1t
is desirable to shade young plants
from very hot sun. 1t is a good policy
to pinch off the ends of the branches
after they begin to bloom, so that
only three or four fruits will set. Hoe
frequently and hill up gradually until
the plants begin to bloom.

CELERY.

One ounce of seed will produce about

Culture-Celery should be planted
in NOISE fertile soil. In preparing
for celery use heavy applications Of

long in rows four feet apart, plant 5
to 6 beans around each pole and cover
about two inches deep. AS soon as

Peas grown as q market crop are
