REGISTRATION sLAckERs.

Those who are charged with the re- sponsibility of prosecuting those who failed to comply with the federal law requiring all those between the ages of 21 and 30 inclusive to register for military service are having some in teresting experiences. There are those who wiIfully failed to register, know ing that the law had been enacted and that they were liable under it's provisions. There are others who have actually taken steps to make the law a failure by influencing others in one way or another to ignore it and re- fuse to register, in addition to re- training themselves and there are still others who in one way or another un- questionaoly are sincere when they declare that they did not know about the law or did not understand it's re- quirements. Some of course hoped to dodge the draft by. refusing to par ticipate and couldn't figure out how they were going to be detected.
 After all the publicity that was given to the matter it may seem strange that anyone could claim they knew nothing about it, but there are circumstances where such excuses have to be accepted such as the case of crews of vessels just reaching port, but in these instances all that is in variably necessary is to have them brought into court and their attention directed to the law and the request made that they register on the spot and they do SO. In such cases it is proper that the punishment should be omitted, but there are cases where the law has not only been intention ally violated but where those guilty and others over the age limit have been actively engaged in encourag- ing the violation. Under such circum- stances there is nothing to do but ap- ply the punishment prescribed and or der full dose.

HOME GARDENS
Tomato Cures,

To secure constant supply of tomatoes from the garden care must be taken to keep the plants free from disease and insects says today's bull letin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission in Wash ington which is cooperating with this paper in a food garden campaign and a campaign against waste.
 The one incurable disease which attacks the tomato, is the wilt This malady is just what the name implies, and IS soon as the gardener recog- nizes it by the dropping of the leaves, he should immediately pull up and burn all of the infected plants
 Leaf spot Cor blighD and anthrac- rose and fruit rot are both funCons diseases and can be successfully com batted with the bordeaux spra ying spraying mixture. The blight is cas- ily discovered when the leaves become spotted, turn yellow and drop. The stems afterward dry up and the fruit drops. As soon as blight is detected the plants may be saved if the bor- deaux is sprayed on every thrqe three weeks. The spraying of well plants with bordeaux will prevent any attack of blight.
 Anthracnose and fruit rot are also fought with the bordeaux spray. The most obstructive of tomato parasites Is the cut worm a dark worm which cheWs off the young plants at the ground. Tarred paper wrapped around the stalks will protect young plants just set out. Should the worms be discovered on larger plants poison bark will kill them off. Tomatoes set out on freshly plowed sod are most likeiy to be attacked by cut worms.
 The picturesque tomato worno-the long, green, naked caterpillar - is fourd on the leaves, This is probably a dIsease-carry1ng agent and should be hand picked and killed. Flea bee ties which chew tomato leaves can be externinated with the arsenate of lead spray; you can also pick or jar jar them off from the leaves into a vessel containing water with a little kerosene.

HOPE LIES IN ROOT COMMISSION

It is difficult to feel sure of the Rus sian situation for any extended period of time. What appears to be a cer- tainty today Is all upset by new sit nations that develop on the morrow. Russia in fact doesn't display any too much certainty about itself. Those who are in charge of the government are unquestionably committed to the establishment and maintenance of new Russia along the lines of France or this country, but there is an element which still confuses liberty with l cense and there is an appreciable lack of unity in tacl1ling the adjustment of it's big problems. Such confusion may not be surprising in view of the great change which has taken place there in such a short period of time. but 1t is a matter of serious concern when it is realized that Russia is not free from German schemers. that it's army is in a state of id1eness when it could be doing so much for the cause to which it is committed and that there is need of carefully guard ing it's own interests
 Much significance, however. must be attached to the message which Elihu Root has delivered to the council of ministers from this country in which he declared that this country had already begun to fight for Russia's freedom as well as our own and that we expect Russia will do the same thing. and the reply which was made by Foreign Minister Te- reschtenko concerning the war when he said The Russian people consider war inevitable and will continue it. The Russian people have no imperial istic wishes We know that you have none. We shall fight together to se- cure liberty, freedom and happiness for all the world All that is needed is to get Russia united on that basis in order to make it take it's former place in the war, and it is believed that the American commission will do much in that direction

it would appear that he was adopting g the plan of Cole Blease when he was governor of South Carolina. There was, however, an entirely different reason for the release of these prison CTS than there was in the case of the southern governor. The latter was working for the building up of a po- utical machine, while the president was forced into his action in order to carry out the good intentions of the courts. but which, in the suspending of sentences, 1t has since been deter federal judges.
 Federal courts have for long be- lieved that they had the right to give prisoners a chance to reform, by a1- lowing them their liberty with a sem tence hanging over them to be en- forced if they failed to keep out of trouble. By a decision of the United States supreme court 1t is held that such a right is not possessed and all persons under suspended sentences were ordered to surrender themselves to serve out their time. Inasmuch as the suspension had been working out well and many who had received them are leading blame1ess lives it was considered unjust that they should be forced to go to prison. It would be likely to do more harm than good and the president decided to meet the situation by granting them a pardon, and his action under the cireum stances cannot fail to meet with approval Un- der the supreme court ruling it is a situation which will not occur again.

THE RED CROSS FUND.

Commencing this week a campaign is to be conducted throughout the country for the purpose of raising a fund of s1Oo. .000. 900 for the American Red Cross. It is well known what great service this organization has rendered in time Of need and how much more it is prepared to do when ever the emergency arises which re- quires it's help The Red Cross aims to relieve the distressed, to care for the sick and the wounded in time of war and to do whatever humanitarian work lies within it's power.
 Ever since the conflict opened abroad it has been rendering a tremendous service to those desolate sections which have been swept by the armies. It has been giving aid to the home less, the orphans and the sick It has been supplying food and clothing to the helpless and dependent in so far as it was able and it must be realized that such a service has been made possible by the generous contributions which have been made by the people of this country whose sympathy has gone out to the sufferers abroad
 With the entrance of this country into the war and the sending of hos pita1 units abroad to be followed later by an army O. soldiers who will soon- CT or later reach the battlefront, it can be readily appreciated that a still greater service is going to be demand cd of this organization. It is esti- mated that compliance with the mini mum duties and opportunities of the American Red Cross a fund of $1Oo,- 100000 will be required This is what the members of that organization will endeavor to secure this week and con- sidering the purpose for which it is intended the appeal for funds should meet with a generous response It would be money well spent if the de- sired sum was more than raised

ing George Bernard Shaw, the brilliant Irish dramatist and Socialist, but what in the world are we to do when Q man says so many good things.
 Shaw seems to land right on the head of the nail every time he strikes a blow.
 He went to the trenches and then he wrote this:
 When war overtakes you, you must fight. and fight to win, whether you are the aggressor or the Gggrived whether you lothe war as the kingdom of hell on earth or regard it as the nursery of all the virtues.
 Tt is not that you must defend yourself or perish; many man would be too proud to fight on those terms. You must defend your neighbor or be- tray him; that is what gets you"
 We think Shaw puts it well. And what goes for the soldier goes for the nation. That's why we are at war We couldn't betray humanity!- Bridgeport Standard.

LETTERS TO HE EDITOa.
Missino Weather and Critic

MT. Editor: Under date of June l., The Cloud Digger forecast weather for June in these exact words: "A bad drouth and extreme heat from June 14 to 20. Near the go mark a dozen different days in June this year. When it looks most like rain this June it will end in a parching wind. About the only relief I see from dry wea- ther is electrical storms, that will be very numerous, but more noise than rain" ''Drouth," 'parching wind" more noise than rain" just think of that a moment! Month half gone and rain, rain, rain, Where's th- drouth the parch, the noise? And this is sample of Cloud Digger's forecasting, a fair sample.

HURTING THE SHIPS.

The need of hustling ship construc- ton in this country has been recog- nfzed for a number of months. This country and it's allies must have ves- sels to meet the shortage which pre- vails under ordinary circumstances, to meet the inroads which are being made into shipping by the German submarines and to take the place of the large amount of tonnage which is out of commission because of the war.
 Warship construction ties up a cer- tain amount of the shipbuilding fla cilities of the country and reduces the tonnage which might otherwise be turned out for merchant vessels. The government has made it possible to speed up this work but there were many private contracts which are be- ing filed over which the government had no control It had no way of hustling them along and the result is that in order to get the benefit of all the shipyard facilities possible it has decided to commander all ship building contracts in the country, and when it is estimated that these amount to 2,e3o. 900 tons 1t means a sizable proposition and gives the governm ent the opportunity to hasten these along much faster than would otherwise be the case There will be many of these vessels which the shipping board can use but their speedy completion will hasten the time when the emergency fleet corporation can get the use of the yards where they are being built and therefore hurry along it's own work already planned. and needed at he earliest possible moment.
 Chafng under a handicap the gov srnment has found a way to over come It and the result should be to he benefit of all concerned.

NEW CUSHION COVERS.

Round and oblong sofa pillows are wing with the long favorite square ones in popularity these days. And these offer many opportunities for using up a small piece of beautiful figured material, by combining it with d plain color that harmonizes.
 Many attractive circular cushions have a comparatively small disk of brocade, or embroidery or some other beautiful figured material, in the cen- ter, while the intervening space is covered with plain material shirred on a cord at intervals of two or three inches.
 Several of the newest obIong cush- ions are finished off with a plain seam on the long sides, but the ends of the cover ares allowed to extend two or three inches beyond the pillow and are treated as a scant ruffle which has the effect of drawing in tie ends slightly to give a somewhat oval ap- pearance.
 These are very attractive and easily made. Some such cushion covers in lowered cretonnes would be pretty bits of furnishing for the summer cot tage at seashore or country The ends could be fitted with drawstrings, so that the covers, made like ordinary pillow eases, except that they are open at both ends, could be washed and ironed easily.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A frequent footbath is not only soothing and refreshing, but is bene- ficial to the health of the feet and that of the entire system. The foot is an excretory centre and by keep ing the pores clean and free the wastte matter of the system is re- moved. A good footbath for nightly use is compound of water as hot as it can be borne in which a litt.e pow dered boracic acid has been dissolved. Let the feet soak for five minutes. wash them off in cooler water and finish with a good brisk rubbing of cold cream.

Tomatoes are so beneficial in their effect on the liver that they have been aptly styled the vegetable calomel." Celery is an excellent nerve tonic and is good for people suffering from rheu- matism. Watercress is credited with having tonic properties. We have all ways known that parsnips and carrots are good for the complexion. The reason for this is that both vegeta- b,es contain arsenic, which has an all most ma gical effect on the skin. On ions are supposed to be without an equal as a nerve tonic, blood purifier, and general cleanser of the system. Lettuce is conductive to sleep because it contains opium.

Beads continue to be of great inn portance in the fashion world Women realize that they introduce a clever dash of color without adding bulk. The app-ication of the beads is 2 te- dious but not a difficult task. There are two ways to do the work. One is to take a stitch as each bead is strung The other is to string the beads and couch the entire string to the mate rial. The fOrmar method is more sat isfactory, since it enables on to get the exact amount of beads needed.
