Washington. - The United States
government is in possession of facts
showing the source of the financial
support of the Industrial Workers sf
the World and other anti-war propa-
gandists, and of activities of a sedi-
tious nature.
This was the main object of We'd
nesday's series of nationwide raids
upon the headquarters of the various
radical organizations. All bank books,
ledgers and account records with 9TH
er intimate papers were seized. The
seizures, the Department OF Justice
announced, were in connection with
federal grand jury Investigations in
Chicago. Thursday experts closely
scrutinized them to learn the source
Of the money which has been spent so
literally on fomenting disorders
throughout the country. The result,
officials say, will show the ramifica-
tions of the pro-German plots through
out the United States.
Federal officials admitted they had
found black bag in the home of big
Bill' Haywood of the I.W.W organiza-
ton, which contains the secrets of the
workers of the World" and which
invites a number of indictments.
Mailing lists of the American Social
list, and of Solidarity, the official or
gan of the Industrial Workers of the
World, have been seized. In announc-
ing this, federal agents who raided So
cialist and IW.W. headquarters said
many of the subscribers of these pa
pers would be placed under surveil-
lance.
Wednesdays raids are the curtain
raisers to more extensive operations
against the enemies of the country.
Very few arrests were made. This
was by the direct orders of the attor-
ney general He will not be satisfied
with prosecutions under minor stat
utes which would call for slight pun
lshment of the advocates of treason.
Chicago Four raiding parties
dashed away from the federal build
ing Thursday night and in a few min
utes four more places had been seized
under federal warrants in the govern
ment's campaign to suppress seditious
and reasonable agitation, as follows
Chicago Arbeiter Zeitung, German
language Socialist publication nick
named "The Flaming Torch" The
Radical Bookstore where radical pub
locations of many kinds are sold, long
under surveillance. The Social Demo
kraten, a Scandinavian language So
cialist newspaper, said to have been
very outspoken. The RadnickaTraza
radical publication.

Five Billions for War Needs.

Washington.-Th House appropria-
tions committee submitted the largest
appropriation bill in the history of the
nation, totaling s4,S1O,979, ,370.29. A
short time after the bill was presented
Secretary of the Navy Daniels sent to
the House estimates for destroyer
program of $225, 100000 to be added to
the measure, making its total $685.
979,37O.29. OF this amount, by far the
greater part is to be used in the con-
duct of the war.

WORK AMONG THE FLOWERS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

The rex begonia may be propagated
by slashing the leaf several times
across the ribs with sharp knife, and
laying 1t fiat on the cutting box. If
necessary, pin it down with toothpicks.
The leaves will rot wherever the leaf
has been slashed, and soon new plants
will appear.
Perennials sown in the summer
should have developed into good
thrifty plants by this time. Plant
where they are to bloom next summer,
or pot for the window.
Late in September pot the prim-
roses and cineraria seedlings grown in
frames. Do not allow them to become
pot-bound until they are ready to
flower.
If the mignonette Is your favorite
flower, September is a good time to
insure good supply for the holidays.
Sow three or four seeds in thumb
pots, and plunge them in a box Of
sand. Sow only the seeds of the large,
Towering kind and thin to one plant
in a pot. Repot when the pot is full
of roots until the plant is established
in fve-inch pots.
Secure all the fallen leaves you can,
for they are invaluable about the gar
den. Use them as a mulch and protec-
ton for the flower beds and individual
plants and shrubs; bank pits, sold
frames and hot beds with them. Pile
them in a corner of the garden or bury
them and make leaf mold. Store them
near the chicken house, to be used for
the scratching shed.
Give transplanted flowers plenty of
time to recoup. Do not water them too
much, or the soil will become sour
and further retard the growth Of the
plant. Do not place in too warm
window, for until the growth starts
they want to be in shady place.
IF a plant looks sickly, do not at
once begin to stimulate it with liquid
fertilizer. Do not repot it until the
the growth starts. Amateurs are la
BILE to give too large pots.
Wandering jew, climbing nasturti-
ums, German ivy, ground pine and for
get-me-nots will grow very satisfac-
torily If the branches are cut and
placed in water. They make novel
show plants for the winter garden.
A trailing vine that is easy to raise
Is the weeping pantana.

ABOUT LILIES
BY E. VAN sENTHUYsEN.

If ordered early in September, lily
bulbs will reach you any time from
the latter part of the month until No
vember; and it is well to have the bed
prepared in advance. Prepare the bed
now, and as the season advances cover
1t with six inches of litter of any kind,
and then If the bulbs do not come too
late, the ground will be in condition to
receive them when they do come.
Again cover the ground with lit
ter, and in the early spring remove
it. Lilies like well-drained, moist
soil, deep and well-worked over with
fine, well-decayed manure.
When the bulbs are set in the ground
a handful of sand should be placed
around each bulb and through this the
root will reach the rich soil.
In my garden I would have all the
"lilies of the field" as well as those
of the garden. But those of special no.
tice where space and purse are limit
ed, are the pure white madonna lily,
which blossoms in May or June; the
Canada lily, which is found in our
fields and is bright crimson In color,
with dark spots, and blossoms in June
or July; the coral lily which comes
to us in May; the longiflorum multi
forum, another pure white beauty.
Then we have the speciosum, white
with a green band running through
the center; blood-red and white, the
latter heavily spotted with darker
crimson.
The golden banded Japanese lily is
one of the handsomest and comes
just when we need 1t most, in late
summertime.

should be buried I'm hot ashes fully
half an hour before anything else is
started. If one does not care to both
er to cook, or will forgo that pleasure
almost everything from hot coffee to
ice cream may be carried now in the
bottles and receptacles made to con-
serve the temperature.
Paper plates and cups will do away
with weight in carriage, and work In
caring for them, as they may be burn
ed before camp is broken, and much
time is saved for more profitable
amusement.
A heavy square of sheet iron is a
most useful camp utensil, 1t may be
used on which to set the various
dishes while cooking over the Goals
or may be used as toaster, broiler OF
steaks or as a griddle for cakes, In
fact, its repertoire has not yet been
exhausted.
Long sharp sticks will be needed to
roast frankfurters, or for boiling ba-
con, as every member of the camp has
some especial duty to perform the
preparation for the meal is shared.
To be a good camper, one must not be
afraid of work and the normal person
finds something of the primitive man
in himself when he gets into the
woods, conventionality is forgotten,
and the picnicker has the excitement
and fun of making fire and preparing
meal like true savage.
Eggs may be cooked in hot water or
fried after the bacon in the frying
pan, and if cold boiled potatoes are at
hand they may be also fried. one
can eat and digest fried food in the
woods, exercising and tramping, when
it would cause serious trouble at other
times.
Red hot Goals should be ready for
broiling meat. Apples, peanuts, pota-
toes and corn all take kindly to
roasting.
After all is over, the fire burning
I'D all rubbish, is carefully buried SO
that no danger of fire will result from
the days pleasure.

Corn Chowder.-Put two tablespoon
fuls of butter in saucepan, add an
onion, sliced, and cook for five min
utes, then add two cupfuls of sweet
corn, four cupfuls of diced potatoes

Bean Fricassee.--Boil a pound of
marrow fat beans until tender, then
drain, add tablespoonful of butter, a

and minced parsley. Serve at once.
Meat Substitute.-Wash a cupful of
rice and rook in plenty of boiling salted

Baby Was Disfigured
By itching Eczema.
CutiCura Soap and
ointment Healed.

My baby was troubled with eczema
which broke out in blisters on her chest
first, and then it came out in scales all
over her face. Her face was terribly
dis6gured. The itching and burning
were awful, and she could not rest night
or day, and she was very cross. l could
not get any rest at all as | had to hold
her most of the time.
"Then | tried Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, and | only used one box of
Cuticura Ointment and one cake of
Cuticura Soap when she was healed"
(Sigped) Mrs. Idris Roberts, 313 3William
Street, Scranton, Pa, April 2, 1917.
Cuticura Soap to cleanse, purify, and
beautify, Cuticura Ointment to soften,
soothe, and heal, have been most sue
cessful in the severest forms of skin and
scalp troubles, but greater still is what
they have done in preserving clear
skins, clean scalps, and good hair as
we'll as in preventing little skin troubles
becoming great ones. This has been
brought about by using no other soap
for toilet purposes than Cuticura. 1t is
ideal for the complexion because SO

Deserted at Altar, Asks

Willis Purnell yesterday entered suit
at the courthouse on behalf of Mrs.
Agnes Dusa, a young and pretty
widow of Brooklyn, asking $1,000
damages against Ignatz Barto, a
prominent bachelor, of Brockton.
Mrs. Dusa alleges that Barto courted
her and gained her consent to mar
riage and that the wedding was
fixed for November 23. On that
date, however, it is charged, Barto
disappeared, and Mrs. Dusa was put
in the humfliating position of wait
ing in vain at the altar with all her
attendants for the bridegroom, who
never came.
The marriage license had been
duly made out at the courthouse

Escorts and Public Dances
DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:

and about nine of my girl friends,
aged seventeen to eighteen. would
like to participate in a moving pic
ture ball.
Since none of us expect to be ac-
companied by a gentleman partner
| would ask you to kindly inform me
whether it will be proper to go to the
said ball unaccompanied JEAN.
Girls of your age must not attend
any public dances without escoTt un-
less you are properly chaperoned by
an older woman or married couple.
1t isn't dignified and it won't do. A.
ter all, you are not planning to dance
with each other ad you are probably
counting on chance acquaintances to
give you a good time. That is a
dangerous plan. Don't put it into
action.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
She is Wrong
oITC . NIVHp
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A young lady engaged to be mar
ried happens to go out to dine with
her employer and with some other
gentlemen acquainted through busi-
ness. When told that she was not
doing the proper thing, she said she
did not care to tell her employer or
any of her business friends that she
was engaged, as it would probably
interfere with her position. She
therefore said she had to accept such
invitations
Do you think that q firm that re-
spects a girl would show any prcju-
dice because she is frank enough to
tell her employer the reason why she
cannot accept such invitations, or
would she be more respected and eS-
teemed by her employer, and frinds
as on who lives up to principls of
respect for her sweetheart B. ii. S.
The girls attitude is absurd. First
of all, telling of her engagement will
not interfere with her position if it
is employment of the proper sort.
She is paid for her business ability,
not as a social entertainer. She is
putting herself in a ridiculous posi-
n. If it is necessary for her to go
to these dinners as a matter OF
business, the fact that she is en-
gagged will not matter. If she is GO
ing for any other reason it would
be best for her not to continue ac-
cepting these invitations even is she
were not engaged. No girl who does
her work well and who is working
for decent ment is obliged to &C
about with these men socially in or.
der, to keep her position,

meant that it was silly to fill up

Use a little bit of discretion about
things, that's all. If you find that

more engagements, see?"
Yes, | see," said Helen, unre-
sponsively. She was about to ring
off, more put out than otherwise, be-
cause sne felt that Warren was
really right about it, when he
stopped her with Hello, there!"

"Why no, why should be-" Hell

she knew that Warren really needed
| to get away from home sometimes.
, "All right, then" he said cheer
fully. Il may be a bit late, if so,
don't worry" ...
"All right" And Helen hung up
with a little click. She felt sudden
ly restless and eager to be off some
where. The house suddenly stifled
her, she needed something to dis
| tract her mind and there was moth
! ing that presented itself
why, how foolish 1 am" she
scolded vigorously. Warren has
stayed down to dinner plenty OF
| times without my caring anything
/ one way or another"
But he never told you so delib

voice within her. And Helen was
( forced to admit that he never ha(

y would be out all evening in quite 81
deliberate a manner.
y She wandered into her own room
and began to dress aimlessly. TheI
she went out to the kitchen to speal
to Mary.

rem said suddenly:
