cINcINNATps UNION STATION.

Springfield Republican: Cincinnati
is pushing a municipal ownership
proposition that will interest the coun-
try. That Ohio city has long suffered
from lack of an adequate union rail-
road station. and now it Is proposed
to have a municipality owned one. The
city owns the Cincinnati Southern rail-
road. which has 396 miles Of tracks and
Is part of the Southern railway sys-
tenn. Much talk among the railroads
of building a big station for common
use has come to nothing, and now the
trustees of CincinnatiS railroad and
city officials have gone to the legisla-
ture with a plan by which to provide
the needed union station. This con-
templates an expenditure of not less
than $15,000,000 for the station and ter
minals. Cincinnati is to lend its credit
to the issue Of 50-year bonds that will
raise the funds. the property Is to be
leased to the railroads entering the
city at price that will pay the in
terest and sinking fund charges, so
that ultimately, when the bonds have
been paid off, Cincinnati would have
the property free of debt with a large
annual income from its rental.
The railroads have agreed to the
proposition, and indeed are eager to see
1t carried through. They are even ready
to assume the lease while construction
is under way, and take care OF the in
terest and sinking fund charges during
construction, so that at no time would
the taxpayers of the city be required
to pay even nickel for the develop
ment of the plan. The city can obtain
money on its bonds for a smaller charge
than the railroads would be obliged to
pay IL they went into the market for
money A board of trustees named by
the city would be in charge of the sta
ton, just as the property of the Gin
cinnati Southern railway is handled.
Governor Cox and legislative author
tiles at Columbus are said to be ready
to advocate the necessary legislation,
provided that the plan first be sub
mitted to a referendum vote of the
city and approved. The men who are
pushing this matter believe that the
voters of Cincinnatf would be prac-
tically unanimous for an Improvement
so greatly needed and meaning so much
for the city.

Washington, d. c.. March 30.-If the

frigerator into Ave simple groups and
Will see that foods from each of the
groups appear in each days meals, she
can feel sure that she is giving her
FAMILY the eight different substances
which the body needs for well-being.
This grouping will help the house
Keeper who wishes to save money or
time to simplify her meals without
making them one-sided or incomplete.
It will enable her to determine whether
the meals supply all the different ma
terials needed and will prevent sub
shutting one food for another which
has an entirely different use.
To help the hotis = wife group foods
in a simple and effective way, the nu-
triton specialists OF the United States
department OF agriculture have pub
lished the following suggestive group
ing in Farmers Bulletin s0S, on how to
select foods:
Group 1.-Fruits and Vegetables.
Without these the food would be
lacking in mineral substances needed
for building the body and keeping 1t
In good working condition; in acids
which give flavor, prevent constipa-
ton. and serve other useful purposes;
and in minute quantities Of other sub
stances needed for health. BY giving
bulk to the diet they make, it moro
satisfying to the appetite.
Foods depended on for mineral mat
tiers, vegetable acids, and body -regu-
lating substances:
Fruits
Apples, pears, etc., berries, oranges,
lemons, etc., bananas. melons, etc.
Vegetables
salads-lettuce, celery, ETC., green
peas, beans, etc., tomatoes, squash,
etc., potherbs, or green's" potatoes
and root vegetables.
Group 2.-Meat and Meat Substitutes.
These are sources of an important
body-building materiss, protein. In
the case of children part of the protein
food should always be whole milk.
Foods depended on for protein:
Milk, skim milk, cheese ETC.. poul-
try. eggs, meat. fish. dried peas. beans
cowpeas, ETC., nuts! Ea
Group 3.-Foods Rich in Starch.
{ Cereals (wheat. rice. rye, barley, oats
and cornl ands potatoes (white and
sweet. Cereals come near to being
complete foods, and in most diets they
supply more Of the nourishment than
any other kind of food. 1t is not safe,
however to live only on cereals.
Foods depended on for starch: .
Cereal grains, meals, flours. etc.,
cereal breakfast foods, crackers. maca-
roni and other pastes, cakes. cookies.
starchy pudding, ETC.. potatoes and
other starchy vegetables.
Group 4.-Suaar.
Unless some of the fuel is in this
form the diet is likely to be lacking
in flavor.

mula is not large. These people are
too proud and this formula is too vital.
It inevitably sets them to thinking;
they cannot help thinking. And 30 in
the very nature of things the attempt
to establish a revolutionary theory
was doomed.
After that fault in the very attitude
OF the nervous system of the orthodox
socialist is corrected, there remains an
other change to be wrought before he
will function very effectually In q cur
rent of events. Having released him.
self from a dogmatic fixation upon his
doctrine, he will have to learn to sub
ordinate doctrine altogether in his re-
cruiting activities. Even a live and
plant scientific hypothesis is not the
nucleus around which a political party
can be formed. A political party ought
to represent not certain kind of
knowledge, but certain economic
interest. 1t ought to take in all the
people who agree in wanting something
concrete and immediate. The Ameri-
can socialist party includes only peo-
pie who agree in understanding some
thing remote and ultimate. It is not
party OF the working class; it is a party
Of the theory of the working class.
This fatal weakness is accumulated BY
the fact that the theory is OF Euro
pean origin. and all its Technology
and catchwords are alien to our people.
But no matter where the theory orig
inated-and no matter how true it may
be-you cannot build an effectual fight
ing group around it. Theoretic think.
ing is too misunderstanding is too uni-
versally subordinated to immediate In
terests, for such group TO grow great
and have a direct impact upon history.
1t will remain merely an organ OF spe-
cial education.
The socialist party will never become
the party OF the labor struggle until Il
subordinates the idea and builds
around the will. And If the socialist
party does not become the party of the
labor struggle, another and a. wiser
party will take its place.

Timely Hints for the Home Gardener
(onions in the Home Garden.)

Washington. d. c.. March 20. -
Onions, like potatoes, are a staple
crop that is grown commercially on a
very extensive scale. The home gard
ener, however. may like to have a few
early home grown onions for his table
or, If space permits, he may wish to
grow enough of later varieties to last
his family through the winter. The
onion will thrive under a, wide range
of climatic and soil conditions, but
rich sandy loan containing plenty OF
hGmus is best suited to 1t. AS the crop
requires shallow cultivation and 1t may
be necessary to resort to hand work in
order to keep it free from weeds, 1t is
very desirable that the land should be
in such condition that it Is easily
worked. AS general rule, 1T is we'll to
have the crop follow some other enc
that has been kept under the hoe and
free from weeds the previous season.
In the north, seed is sown as early
in the spring as the soil can be brought
to the proper condition. In the south,
onion sets are frequently put out in
the autumn and carried through the
winter with the protection of a little
hay or straw. There are three meth
DDS of propagating onions: The first,
by sowing the seed in specially pre-
pared beds and transplanting the seed
,lings to the open ground; and third,
by planting sets which have been kept
through the winter. The first method
ia used by large commercial growers
on account Of the amount OF labor in
volved in the others. On small areas,
however, it may be preferable to plant
sets. Under normal conditions these
may usually be obtained at planting
time for about $3.50 a bushel, or 8
bushels being required to plant an acre.
Onions planted from sets will ripen
earlier than those from seed sown in
the fields. When the transplanting
method is used, the seed is sown in
greenhouses, hotbeds, cold frames, or
specially prepared beds at the rate of
3h to pounds for each acre to be
planted. The seedlings are transplant

The root end of the Seeding Is pushed
into the soil with one finger and the
soil is then f1rmed about the plant.
The seed is sown thickly in drills
about II TO IA inches apart. After the
plants become established, they are
thinned to 2 or inches apart. The
maturity Of the bulbs may be fastened
by preventing the continued growth
Of the tops. This is sometimes accom-
plished by rolling an empty barrel over
the rows and breaking down the tops.

ripens and Is harvested during the lat
ter part Of the summer and early
autumn. In the southern states where
the crop Is grown during the winter,
the harvesting and marketing period
takes place during the spring months.
There are several kinds of onions
that may remain in the soil over win
ter. The multiplier, or potato onion,
for example, can be planted from sets
in the autumn and will produce excel
lent green early onions. A large onion
of this type contains a number of dis
tinct hearts and, If planted, will pro-
duce number of small onions. On the
other hand, a small onion contains but
one heart and will produce q large
onion. A few Of the large ones may be
planted each year to produce sets for

The shallot is a variety OF small
onion that is frequently planted in
early spring for its small bulbs, or
