BASEMENT A GARDEN
Even Thru Winter 1t May Continue to
Grow Mushrooms.

Kansas City, Mo-, May S.-There
will not be a corner too dark in the
city or country next winter which can
not contribute it's bit toward increas-
ing the food supply of the nation, if
the suggestions of A. T. Osbron, mush-
room grower of Olathe, Kan, are
adopted generally.
Impetus to the movement to grow
mushrooms in easements and cellars
was given recently when a mushroom
club, the first in this section of the
country, was organized as a part of
the National Defense league at Law
renee Kan. The idea, as explained by
Mr.. Osbron, was received with enthu-
SiaSm by leading citizens of Lawrence.
1.-The cost of a mushroom bed of
100 square feet, which will furnish
enough mushrooms each day during
the winter season for a family of
three or four persons. will be about So
to 81 for each person in clubs of ten
or more said Mr.. Osbron. Such q
bed will produce mushrooms of great
er food value than the vegetables
which ordinarily are obtainable during
the winter months.
atmospheric conditions in the or
binary basement during the winter are
ideal for the growing of mushrooms"
continued Mr.. Osbron. Manure
which previously has been cured out
side the city, thus deodorizing it, is
mixed with about onerfourth garden
soil and spread about IL inches deep
in the corner of the basement select
ed for the mushroom bed. This should
be done during the first part of Sep
TENDER. Mushroom spawn, which can
be secured at any seed store, is plant
ed in pieces about the size of a walnut
from ten to twelve inches apart each
way, and an inch or two below the
surface of the bed. In about ten days
after planting, the bed should be COW
cred with moist ground to a depth of
two inches. Within thirty or forty
days, the mushrooms will begin to
push thru the surface and then will
be available for food. They can be
gathered each day thru the winter and
spring until about June. A bed 100
square feet should produce about a
pound of mushrooms a day for 200
days. The only care which the mush-
room bed will need is an occasional
sprinkling. The bed should be kept
moist but not wet"

TERMS TO SETTLE WAR
Roosevelt Says Turk Must Leave Eu-
aa rope; Ireland Must Be Freed.

New York, May S.-Theodore
Roosevelt in an article headed Put
the Flag on the Firing Line in the
June Metropolitan Magazine, publish
ed today, outlines what our peace
terms should be. In part he says:
1.-The Prussianized Germany of the
HohenzollernS has shown itself even
more the enemy Of freedom and hu-
manity and Justice and international
right than was Napoleon's France. Let
US strive for the peace of justice and
of international right. Did they but
know it, the German people them
selves would benefit by our victory
and especially the people of South
Germany and of Austria, who would
be free from the tyranny of Prussia
and would be guaranteed in all their
rights-surely more than an offset
fo- not being allowed to wrong others.
Belgium and France must have all
that has been taken from them re-
stored.
THE Turk must leave Europe
democratic Russia at Constantinople
will threaten no one. Armenia should
be freed and autonomous. Austria is
not a country but a knot of national
tiles, of which two tyrannize over the
others. Let the HungarianS keep
Magyar Hungary, and the Austrians
German Austria. Let the Italians have
the Trentino and Trieste. Let there
be a great Servia, great Bohemia,
great Roumania-- Poland should once
more be a nation, which should in
clude all the Polish lands, and have
an outlet on the Baltic through old
Polish Prussia, old West Prussia. East
Prussia, which is German, would be
unavoidably separated from the other
German lands; but it could be kept
united with them politically; and also
commercially by arrangements for
through railway traffic such as we
have with Canada as regards our in
ternational railroads The Germans
would keep Germany, would lose
nothing except the right to Cypress
others, would suffer no injustice Ire
land should have Home Rule. Seek
justice for everyone; the Dane of
North Schleswig; the Finn, the innate,
the Caucasian in Russia. Endeavor
to secure a guarantee of real religious
freedom and fair play, for Catholic,
Protestant, Orthodox, and Jew alike"
In his magazine article the Colonel
describes his proposed expeditionary
force to France and points out the i'm
portant duties of the private citizen
with America at war.

An Anesthetic.
He had not slept for seven weeks;
A pallor was upon his cheeks;
His joints were full of pains and squeaks
And he was almost dead.
The doctor gravely stroked his chin.
Il think it is wasteful sin
To shoot more dope beneath your skin,
He said.
Il have a strong but certain cure
deadly one at times, but sure.
Twill make you sleep if you endure
The torture long enough"
Bring on your cure" the patient cried.
Most any pain l will abide,
For tossing here from side to side
Is tough!'
The doctor whispered in his ear;
The patient felt a pang of fear.
Them words are bitter words to hear!
He sadly said and wept-
But he was game, without a doubt.
That very night he ambled out
And went to see a wrestling bout,
And slept.

HEY! QUIT THAT SHOOTIN'!
Army Officer Makes Closed Season on
Army Balloons as Targets.

Omaha, May S.-Captain H. ]. B.
McElgin of the balloon corps at Fort
Omaha. has issued an appeal to farm
ers and others thruout this territory to
refrain from shooting at passing ball
looms.
Many balloons are being sent up
from Fort Omaha every day to train
recruits in the air service, and shooting
at them has been a sport altogether too
popular, Captain McElgin says. Ser
ious action is contemplated if neces-
sary to stop the shooting.

WANT THE FANS TO PAY.
Baseball MagnateS Say They Cannot
Stand a War Tax.

New York, May S.-American fans
probably will have to pay baseball 5
share of the war tax.
Magnates in all leagues are bending
their energies toward the enactment
of a federal law which will require
the payment of a stamp tax before a
fan passes the gate. They claim the
requirement of a tax on clubs gross
receipts, as has been suggested, would
ruin many clubs. Baseball, in fact,
would have to go out of business in
some sections. President John K.
Tener of the National league, is one
supporter of the fan tax plan.

He is the goat. no matter what ensues,
He will not get the credit if they win
And he will get a panning if they lose.

Teamwork is as necessary in war as II
