DO 1T TO-DAY.
Start Something About Preparation Of
Your Garden.

Get something done about the garden
to-day. Order the manure and have it
hauled and spread on the garden. There
Is still a supply of the livery stables
and on some farms. just now when
much of the farm land is too soft and
wet to work, one may get something
done on the drier garden land. Before
the spring rush of farm work begins,
one should draft the idle teams and get
the small Jobs done. Many of the city
Or town carriers may be secured to haul
manure, cart ashes and pillow the small
gardens. In this way much pressure
may be relieved later on. Every little
helps. do not put off till tomorrow
what can be done to-day"
Professor NJ. B. Cummings, horticul-
tural specialist for the extension serv-
ice of the University of Vermont and
state agricultural college, suggests that
many other little things be attended to
now. Are the garden tools at hand and
in good shape? If not, why not see to
them to-day? Have you bought your
garden seed Is the garden planned on
paper and the scheme ready to carry out
Garden stakes, lines, etc, will be needed
soon. Do not be hindered later through
lack of these things. Are you assured
Of supply of ''transplants" for setting
out next month? Where can YOU get
tomatoes, cabbage. caulihower. celery
and similar vegetables? Plants may be
ordered over the phone; but they do not
grow on the wires. Somebody must
grow them. Who guarantees your sup
ply, Do not wait till the fifty-ninth
minute before making a move Work out
the garden strategy now and be ready
for the spring drive in the garden. "Old |
Sol" will start things soon.

ALIEN PROPERTY SEIZED
Much More to Be Taken Over by the
Government-Bosch Magnetic Plant
May Be Used for Army, Navy
and Aircraft Work.

Washington, May 2.-The value of
aliensproperty taken over by the govern
ment yesterday reached total of $780,
100000. That represents only part
of what officials expect the government
finally to hold More than 100 trusts
are being administered under the alien
property laws and the government is in
actual control of operations of 100 plants.
One of the largest of these is the Bosch
Magnetic cmopany, valued at approx
mately 100000, whose directors are
to decide shortly the extent to which
the concern shall be devoted to govern
ment work The alien property admin

A National Crime.

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
what do they eat for their dinnerf One
may eat terrapin, while the other eats
onion, yet each one of these men might
quite readily cut slice of bread from
exactly the same loaf.
Let the rich man continue to eat his
| terrapin and the poor man continue to
eat his onion as he can afford it, but let
the rich man, poor man, beggar man and
thief all know that there il one thing
which none of them can afford-that is
| to waste even so much as a crumb of
bread. We all must respect this loaf of
bread. Not bit of ii must be wasted.
Here in America where for years there
has been plenty and to spare in food
stuffs, single slice of bread seemed an
unimportant thing.
But now America is united with Eng.
land, France, Italy, Serbia and the other
allies, in a great moral war, and what
is a sin for them is a sin for us. In
Serbia not so very long ago string of
pearls would not buy loaf of bread.
A Serbian lady OF rank and great
wealth was among the men, women and
children fleeing before the Germans. Her
money and Jewels had been stolen, all
except pearl necklace worth hundreds
of dollars; this she had hidden beneath
her dress. She tried in vain to exchange
this necklace for even a loaf of bread,
But bread could not be had at any price.
And in England to throw away piece
of bread is crime punishable by the !
law. Late last summer a police officer |
found in an ash can of prosperous Eng |
lish woman a piece of bread. He re-
ported this to the officials and she was
fined 20 shillings.
Another story of the same kind is of |
a restaurant keeper who threw away $50
pounds of stale cake The proprietor
was called before the judge and fined
800
Certainly what is crime in England
is wrong in America. The law may not
punish the individual in this country, but
for that very reason there is and should
be a more severe punishment melted out
10 each and every one of us by that most
highly moral of all judges-our con
sciences
When we throw away slice of bread,
/ half slice of bread or even crust of
,read, we are directly taking it from the
,late of one of the hungry allies. The
'read we waste is causing someone to go
hungry, and we are failing in our duty
o our country and to the world.

Appeal to the Women of France.

After three years of suffering, grief
and privation the women of France are
still able to set a notable and pathetic
example OF courage to the women of
other war stricken lands.
When the rationing of the important
foodstuifs was announced recently for
that country, the following patriotic APP
peal was sent out by the National Coun-
ell of French Women, typifying their
noble spirit of endurance:
These last months of the war will be
the hardest. French women know it
and bravely they will go through the
necessary ordeal. They will accept all
restrictions in order TO obtain victory
which will allow their children to know
the joy of life and beneficent peace.
Each of us must simplify her mode
of life Deprive yourselves, economic,
and you are working for your country,
Let those whose material well .beng is
assured set an example TO render the
hard privations of the hour less grievous
to their sisters. "Workwomen, like us.
you are weeping for dear ones, like us
you hate war. 1t is in order to render
war impossible henceforth, that we must
hold out to the bitter end"

the volcanic theory. On the earth all VOL
canic craters arc on, or near, the SUBMITS OF
mountains built up by the action of the vol
cano itself, i. e.. by the accumulation of sub
stances shot ont Of the crater. AS the vol
cano grows in height the throat also ex-
tends upward. until an elevation is reached
where the stretched neck becomes too
thin to bear the pressure, during an ex-
plosion and then the lava bursts out at
the side, and the building up of a new crater
begins.
Nothing Of this kind can have created the
gigantic sink-hc,es on the moon, and yet it is
plain that the rims surrounding the yawning
holes must have been east up, or built up, by
some force, or agency. TO guess that reef
building corals did it in an age when the sea
basins Of the moon were filled with water is
a flight of the imagination that may appear
to many not more cXtravagant than the other
guess which has been INDUCED that the moon
was once surrounded by ring Of tremendous
mcteors, which finally descended with fearful
velocity upon its surface, poughing great
canyons where they struck at low angle
and throwing up circles Of molten rock
around the tremendous holes that they made
where they fell nearly vertically.

Or. Davis s idea is that the coral ring type
underlies the surface formation of all the
worlds Of the solar system, and by this he
thinks the similarity i'll their past history
may be demonstrated. On the moon, owing
to the disappearance Of all her waters the
coral skeleton has been revealed everywhere
on her surface, while on the earth it can only
be detected clearly in the still growing atolls
of the Pacific and other seas, the similar for
nations on what are now continents being
