Crops Around Washington.

The farmers and professional gar
H1pers in the vicinity of Washington
- I've heard the call of national duty
have plowed, narrowed and planted.
R.is phase Of preparedness is manifest
in every direction from Washington.
Green fields of prosperous winter wheat,
wide stretches of cleanly narrowed land
with little corn plants looking up, and
big areas planted with potatoes may be
seen along any road The conditions in
the vicinity of Washington are prob
ably the conditions in every part of the
United States, and with favorable sea-
son the food crop will no doubt far ex-
ceed that grown in any other year in
the history of the country. One cannot
90 into the neighboring counties of
Washington without noting that fields
which have not felt pillow or harrow
for many years have had their turf
turned under and are now bringing up
corn and potatoes for the defense of the
United States and its allies. Another
gratifying circumstance is that in addi-
tion to the increased acreage the crop
growth is good. Wide fields of winter
wheat which appeared thin and sickly
green before springtime truly opened
. have improved and the wheat has taken
on the rich green indicative Of health
and Is heading up full and strong. The
eorns which 10 stih young and tender
enough for crows to pull up, is of good
color and needs only warmth, moisture
Snd cultivation to produce heavy crop.
Ths man with the plow has seen his duty
Ind 10 doing it.

Corn Bread.

Corn bread should come into use in
parts Of the United States and in for
eign countries where it's virtues are un-
known, as one Of the results of the food
troubles the world is now experiencing
and may experience for some time to
come. The word "corn" is applied to
the principal grain grown in a country
and in some countries is applied to all
grains. In some parts of the world
"corn" stands for wheat and in other
parts for rye. In this country it stands
for what other people call "maize," and
stands for it so thoroughly that most
Americans do not know the word maize.
"Corn" means to them corn and not
wheat, rye, barley or oats or anything
but plain "corn."
The -four or "meap of this grain was
the chief food Of the Indians of Amer
lea. It became the chief food of the
European settlers and has continued q
staple article Of food with millions of
white and black people, especially in
the southern part Of the United States.
It is eaten In the south, not because Of
its cheapness in comparison with the
price Of wheat -four, but because excel
lent bread is made with it and the peo-
pie eat it because they like it, because
it is good and wholesome. and because

it has stood the test of use as food for

it has stood the test of use as food for
centuries.
To persons who live in the corn bread
belt it is curious to hear other persons
insist that wheat is essential in max
ing bread, that they do not like corn
bread, etc, etc. 1t is said that in Eu-
rope corn is thought of only as stock
feed. A large part of the population
of Washington comes from, or is de-
scended from, the corn bread belt, and
corn bread is eaten to a considerable ex-
tent in this city. The reason more
Washingtonians do not eat it probably
lies in the fact that corn bread making
is still a household industry, and has not
become a factory product as has wheat
bread. Corn bread must be made at
home and eaten hot, while the factory
bread is delivered at the door ready to
eat. 1t is becoming more and more in
convenient for the ladies to do any cook
ing at home which can be done outside.
Corn bread is as good as wheat bread.
Chemists may dispute over their analy-
ses of wheat and corn, but many mil
lions of Americans who eat both bread
made of -four and meal know that corn
bread is excellent food. A good deal of
education is probably Coming to" the
world on this subject.

Band Concerts.

The fact that free public band con-
certs will be omitted in Washington this
summer excepting those to be provided
by the Marine Band may serve to re-
mind the people of this city of the great
favors they have enjoyed in the mat
ter of music. No other city in the
United States has been so we'll furnish
ed with good music played by govern
ment bands of the highest class. The
Office of public buildings and grounds
has carried music to the very doors of
Washington's people by giving concerts
in parks throughout the city and even
in the suburbs. The thought has oc-
Cured to some men that too many peo-
pie have come to consider free public
music as a matter Of course and not as
a distinct and peculiar privilege. Most
of the people who obtain sincere en-
joyment from music rendered by ca
pable musicians will attend the con-
certs of the Marine Band this summer
at the Capitol and on the Ellipse south
of the White House. This will be re-
minder of the Washington of the olden
time, when these concerts were the most
conspicuous events in the summer life
of the capital, and to attend which fam
lilies travelled long distances in the omni-
buses, in the horse cars and in private
rigs, and came not only from every part
of the city, but from even the outlying
parts of the county of Washington.

The Bill and the Emergency.

The Senate will receive the report or
the finance committee on the revenue
bill some time next week Then will
begin debate, the length of which IS
: problematieal 1t need not be short, and
it should not be very protraeted. Under
I the rules of the Senate. even as amend
ed, full discussion of any subject is pos
sihde; and this subject has every claim
upon attention. While revenue. in sums
. of unmatched size. is necessary, and
the people are willing to be assessed,
there is full reason why in this initial
assessment every preeaution should be
taken against unfairness and injustice.
The present is an initial assessment.
When the next will become necessary
and be made cannot now be stated. But
that there will be next, and possibly
several others, may be gathered from
current comment and general expecta-
tion. We are in the war, and the propo-
sition is that the war be fought to a
finish; and this war is taking money
toll of all participants on both sides
such as the world has never known be-
fore.
In speech in New York yesterday,
President Vanderlip of the National
/ City Bank, one of the country's fore
most fnaneiers. said: 1--WE are going to
lend sums of money such as were never
dreamed of in any undertaking We have
ever engaged in" While these sums are
not to be raised by direct taxation, very
heavy taxation must accompany finan-
cial policies of such magnitude.
America is flush now. Bank deposits
are unpreeedentedly large. Business in
many lines is profitable. Capital is
| earning good dividends and labor good
wages. Easy street is crowded. But
that very fact should operate as warn
ing against anything that would SOW the
seeds of distrust and discomfort.
Let us have revenue law regardful
of all; shaped without special regard for
or against any class or section; taking
| into consideration not only the existing
ability of the people to pay, but the
necessity Of preserving that ability. For
| II We are to continue to find golden eggs
when we visit the nest, we must not kill
E1or frighten away the fowl responsible
| for the treasure.
I If the Senate should give the whole
month of June to the subject it would
weu employ the valuable time.

The New York Campaign.

: The most interesting campaign of the
year will be for the mayoralty of New
York city. 1t will have a city side. q
state side and national side, and as a
many-sided contest will attract wide and
@uch attention.
Fusion now controls the Office, and a
movement looking to the continuation
of that control exists and has strength.
Its purpose, Of course, is the renomina-
tion Of Mayor Mitchell.
4 Tammany wants the Office, and is busy
sorting ont the faithful with a view Of
selecting q candidate. It is seeking q
man who, while reliable in all matters
felating to organization interests, has
yet good credit in independent circles.
The combination is rare.
The city side Of the contest relates to
city sffairs. Good local government is
the rfime local consideration. As Mayor

Buying a Bond.

The f1otation Of the liberty loan is 60
ing to have an educational and bene-
fetal effect on the American people.
This education will take the direction
of thrift and sound investment. Most
men and women have been ignorant of
the character of government security
or how to buy one. The very word
"bond" has had hopeless or forbidding
sound to the wage worker. 1t was some
mysterious thing which rich man
bought and which enabled him to live
without working. This campaign will
teach the average man not only that a
hundred-d dollar United States bond is
as good as hundred-dollar United
States gold certificate so far as security
is concerned, that it is not so easily lost
as gold certificate, that it is very near
ly as negotiable or convertible into
goods as that form of government prom
ise called money, but that it is an ex-
cellent form of investment and pays in
terest approximating the maximum re-
turn consistent with the highest obtain
able degree Of safety of the principal.
When men of moderate means learn the
way Of buying a government bond they
take their first lesson in making care
full and discriminating investment. A
man with government bond to think
about and to boast of will be less likely
to fall prey to crooks and sharks who
want to sell shares in a fabulous rub
Der plantation somewhere or a magic
gold mine nowhere.
The purchase of a government bond
on time payments will start many peo-
pie into the ways of thrift. Very many
people have to be pushed into the ways
Of thrift. Nearly everybody thinks Of
becoming thrifty, but defers making the
start. Thrift is habit and one which
anybody can acquire. A man who is not
able to save enough out of his wages to
buy bond on the long g-time and small
payment plan provided by the banks and
various other commercial and industrial
organizations is in a desperate situa-
tion. In ninety-nine cases out of hun
dred the trouble is not that his earning
capacity is too low, but that his expendi-
lures are greater than they should be.

The Land of Discovery.

When Chris Columbus made his move
And took his great excursion,
He did not know just what would prove
The end of his diversion.
With patience wonderful and vast
He manfully persisted,
And found continent, at last,
Which no one thought existed.
America since those old days.
Attention has directed
To progress in a thousand ways
Which had been unsuspected.
She sent a ship beneath the seas
And taught the art of flying,
And thought her work would help to ease
, Life's situations trying.
Columbus into Jail was thrown.
They grabbed those great inventions
To bolster up the tottering throne,
Midst envious dissensions.
America again must be
Discovered to each nation;
The land that bids mankind be- freef
The hope Of all creation!

Mitchel has given that, his admirers
want him retained for another term.
Why displace him for Tammany man
in the light of Tammany's record as to
Officer
The state side relates somewhat to
poIitfEs. If Tammany should win it
might: revive its leadership of the state
demoe vacy, which when held was a
source of democratic embarrassment felt
beyond the confines of the state. As
state knder Tammany was conspicu-
GUS failure.
The nstionaIs side relates to the desire
Of Tam many to figure with former
prominersce and influence at the next
democratic national convention. With
a man of its own in the mayors chair.
and its stack in state affairs quotable
again, the organization would ask a
voice in the, choosing of the party's next
presidential standard bearer. 1t would
want to wipe out by some bold stroke
the record OF its confusion at Baltimore
in 1912
Mayor Mitchell has not yet made reply
to his friends. He knows of their feel
ings and activities, but for reasons of
his own is delaying an announcement.
He has shown quality as fusion leader,
both as candidate and as executive. He
is a young man, likes politics and may
go higher.
There is report, current in New
York and elsewhere, that the national
administration would be glad to see
Mayor Mitchell get second term.
