We read recently in farm paper re-
ports of two successful market garden
ers in different sections of the country
one a woman the other a man. The
woman told her own story; the other
write up was by staff correspondent.
The methods followed and the results
attained were practically identical in
both cases. The vegetables and fruits
to be marketed were all carefully sorted
as to quality, and in many cases there
were three grades. This was the case
with string beans. For the first grade
the best were selected and they were
priced accordingly. The second grade
was of course lower in price, and the
third, if not used for home consumption
or canned for winter use, was still
lower. Figures were given to show that
considerably more was realized from all
fruits and vegetables under this method
than if marketed in the usual way.
Then the woman gardener turned her
attention to making attractive the pack
ages in which she sent her products to
market. The boxes and crates were
painted, and their neat appearance was
found to help the sales. This is the sub
stance of the two reports, and it may
present some helpful suggestions to
other market gardeners.

The Democratic New York World has
just discovered that Germany has been
making war upon the United States for
more than two years." But only last
year the World was advocating the re-
election of Wilson because "He has kept
US out of war;" Then we have been at
war with Mexico for more than four
years, because of the unwarranted inter-
ference of President Wilson with the in
ternal affairs of that country. Since
the aggressors,
The Republican journal., 1917-03-29

For some time there has been increas-
ing public dissatisfaction with President
Wilson's advisers, and it has become
more persistent since war with Germany
has seemed unavoidable and the neces-
sity for preparedness evident. Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels has long been
conspicuous for unfitness in Cabinet
generally recognized as the weakest IN
the history of this country, and Secre-
tary of War Baker IS another who has
inspired neither public nor departmental
confidence. AS to the former. the presl-
dent of one of the largest shipbuilding
plants in America is quoted as saying:
Never since the Civil War has there
been such utter incompetence at the
Navy Department as during the Wilson
regime" And he gave facts 10 sub
stantiate this statement, which it is not
necessary to repeat. Daniels has re-
peatedly declared that he will not resign,
ard only a request from the president
for his resignation can remove him. They
do things differently in Europe. In Eng
land, France, Russia and Italy there have
been repeated change in the adninistra-
tive offices and in the command of arm
les in the field and of the naval forces,
with a view to obtaining the utmost
efficiency. These are, or were until the
revolution in Russia, all monarchial coun-
tries, while we boast that our govern
ment is ''of the people, by the people
and for the people, Yet one man has
the power to keep incompetent men in
office when their retention threatens the
welfare, if not the existence, of the re-
public.

Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick and
Lustrous on Bald and Thin Spots.

Thousands of men and women are growing
bald every day and don't know the reason why.
This is indeed pity, says hair specialist,
who states that badness usually comes from
carelessn ss.
The treatment is verv simple; remove the
dirt by shampooing every ten days and destroy
the dandruff germs by frequently applying a
little of the real Partisan Sage, most efficient
preparation that the best druggists are now
recommending as of the quickest and
safest treatments to surely stop itching scalp
and falling hair, remove all dandruf and to
properly nourish and invigorate the hair roots
Partisan Sage is also the discriminating
woman's favorite hair dressing because 1t
makes the hair seem twice as abundant and
gives it a softness and luster that compels ad-
miration. A generous bottle costs but little

ENGLISH USING "RAKE-OFF"
American Expression Used by Papers
to Explain Cheap Graft Adopted
by B"itons.

Washington-The United States has
given to the English vocabulary new
word with which to describe specula-
tive profit on foodstuffs. This is now
uniformly alluded to by the English
press as the "rake-off." On its first
appearance the word was carefully ex-
planned as an Americanism. Then it
appeared continuously in quotation
marks, always with haziness as to
whether it should be two words or
compounded. Now 1t has been stand
erdized, but there still exists so much
doubt IN regard to it's derivation that
tn fully half the papers 1t appears
capitalized. which is real tribute to
the great American game from which
it comes The English called it prof
teering."

FOOD BILL PASSES
AFTER HARD FIGHT
ADMINISTRATION MEASURE IS
HARDLY RECOGNIZED AFTER
FIVE WEEKS IN SENATE
FINAL VOTE STOOD 81 TO 6
MInlran Price Of $500 a Bushel lS
Fixed On Wheat-Prohi Plan
stlcks-Hopes To Have Bill
Before President Soon.

Washington. The administration
food control bill, virtually rewritten
after Eve weeks bitter contest. flEally
passed by the senate, 81 to six. Con-
ferees from house and senate are
working on the measure, and leaders
are hopeful the measure may be in
the presidents hands in few days.
AS revamped, the bill gives the pres.
idept authority over foods, feeds and
fuels, the latter including kerosene
and gasoline; provides for administra-
ton by food board of three members
instead OF an individual authorizes
federal fixing of coal prices, requisi'
tioning and operation of mines and
authorizes a minimum guaranteed
price Of not less than 81 per bushel
for wheat at primary markets. The
senate prohibition sections, prohibit.
Ing the manufacture Of distilled bever-
ages during the war and directing the
president to buy all distilled spirits in
bond, was substituted for the house
"bone dry" provision and will be one
subject Of difficulty in conference.
Senator'S voting against the bill
were, France, Maryland; Hardwick,
Georgia: Penrose, Pennsylvania; Reed.
Missouri; Sherman. Illinois, and Suth.
erand, West Virginia.
On final vote the senate refused,
60 to 30. to place the bills administra-
ton in the hands of an individual. Sem
ators understood the administration
would endeavor to have the conferees
substitute the original house provis.
ion for single administrator. This
will be another source Of conference
trouble.
Appropriation in the house bill of
$3.50, ,0O0 was left unchanged by
the senate, which added an appropria-
ton OF $1O.O0000O. however, for fed
eral purchases and sale Of soda nj
trates for fertilizer.
Another important senate addition
to the bill provides for Joint congress
eional committee to supervise war ex'
penditures. II was proposed by Sen
ator Owen a Democrat, and incorpor.
ated by vote Of SO to 81, several 9th
or Democrats voting with the solid re-
publican membership.
The senate also added provisions
against boarding of foodstuffs and for
regulation of grain exchanges, author
izing the president to close them II
