county attorney. He is man of
fine public spirit being active in all
movements designed to promote
the best interests of the city, county
and state. Soon after the United
States entered the war he offered
his services to the government al
though he was considerably past
military age. He was not accepted
in the military service, but that
did not deter him from seeking
other fields of usefulness and he has
given unstintingly of his time and
energy TO work OF the Defence
Council, the food and fuel admins
tration, government appeal agent,
Red Cross both as solicitor and at
loyalty meetings. In fact a large
part of his time during the past
year has been given to these various
activities; and all without COM
pensation.

German Paper Sees the Light.

1T is our duty to make an open
confession. We have repeatedly
stated that Germany is entitled to a
place in the sun. We did so in
good faith. For We then believed
what the organs of the German
government proclaimed and we be-
IlieYed at the beginning of the war
and years thereafter what most of
the other German papers repeated.
We know now that the British
statesmen, and with them the states
men of the Allies, did not only have
no warlike measures against Ger
many in mind, but the last minute
endeavored to the utmost to avoid
the war. The blame of the blood
shed lies with the German govern
ment. "-Germania Herold, Milwau-
Ikee, Wis.

SPRAY TO SAVE FRUIT CROP

Orchards infested with scale may
still be sprayed with the lime-sulphur
solution If application is made at once.
After the leaves are out in full it is
too late to use spray at scale strength,
namely, concentrated lime-sulphur So
luton mixed with seven or eight parts
of water. Summer sprays at best on
ly help to check the pests. Strong
scale sprays, when the trees are DOR
mant, are necessary for saving the or
chard. One should make certain at
once if the scale is on his trees. Sam
pies of twigs may be sent to the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture, at Columbia, for examination.
For saving the fruit crop this year,
prompt action must also be taken. 1t
will soon be time for the one import
ant spray for fruit diseases just as
the buds burst, showing the unopened
blossoms. Never spray fruit trees
when they are in full bloom. Follow
ing this important, so-called cluster
spray will come the important spray
for the apple worm, just after most
blossoms are off. For these two sprays
use one and one-half gallons of con
centrated lime-sulphur and two pounds
of arsenate of lead paste to fifty gal
Ions of water. This warning comes 9
little late but there is still time fol
fruit growers and farmers to save
their scaly orchards and fruit crops
this year. Full directions for spray
ing will be sent on request by thu

Count Won Hertling in his address
to the Reichstag on February rs, re-
torts as follows:
president Wilson, who reproaches
the German chancellor with certain
amount of backwardness, seems to me
in his view of ideas to have hurried
far in advance of existing realities"

difference between the American and
the German standpoint.

WAR GARDEN KEPT FAMILY

When the call for war gardens came
last spring, Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. New
ton of Mansfield, had a plot of ground
80 by 65 feet, year of experience in
gardening and a-wcll, great deal
of enthusiasm. Here were the two
prime essentials for garden--a plot
of ground and enthusiasm. The eX-
perience was thrown in for good
measure. The Newtons value expert
ence, but think that one is not likely
to garden if he does not begin before
he gains it. That is why they want
everybody to have garden this year.
About the time the robins began
pulling fishing worms out of the front
lawn, Mr.. Newton went to the gar
den and made the first blisters on his
hands. Then he had the plot plowed.
Shortly afterward sowing began.
Spring was late, the, weather was
little too cool and the vegetables were
slow in coming up, but they finally
appeared and received fitting encour-
agement from Mr.. Newton during odd
times. Weeds grew about as fast as
the vegetables, but by persistent eff
forts Mr.. Newton was able to dis
courage them about as effectively as
he encouraged the vegetables, until
eventually some radishes, lettuce and
a few of the other earlier crops were
brought to maturity.
Usually the gardeners enthusiasm
begins to wane about this time, but
the Newtons were making home
business of vegetable growing, and
consequently began to replant. Then
followed a succession of crops. ., AS
soon as an early vegetable was out of
the way another was planted. The
garden was kept busy until frost. In
the meantime the table had been con-
tinuously supplied with fresh vegeta-
bles, $13.25 worth had been sold to
neighbors and Mrs. Newton had can
ned the surplus. In this way she was
able to preserve 327 quarts of vege-
tables for winter use. In addition,
the garden supplied 30 pounds of ma
Wy beans, enough onions and cabbage
for winter needs, and furnished a
pig part of its ration from waste pro-
ducts. The varieties which Mrs New
ton canned, with an outfit consisting of
wash boiler and wire basket, in
cluded peas, green beans, cauliflow-
er, tomatoes, corn, rhubarb, lima
beans, beets, mustard, turnip tops,
eggplant, spinach, squash, peppers,
kale and many kinds of pickles.
The only cash expense was $1.S5
for blowing and for seeds. Part of
the seeds had been saved from the
previous garden.
Mrs. Newton has been asked by the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture at Columbia and by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington for report on
the garden so that the results may be
used in encouraging others to plant
gardens this spring.

national conduct, freedom and justice
to small nations, to all peoples, which
do not exist today because of German
kultur.
Germany insists upon a return to
and perpetuation of fraud and tyran-
ny and ruthlessness, a disregard of
justice to small nations, indeed to all
nations and peoples, constituencies
rule of international conduct. These
things may not yet be dead and
gone" but they will be dead and
gone" when the war is ended.
The difference between the two po-
sitions is the difference between a fu-
ture safe and free and just, and past
cruel, unjust, treacherous and tyran-
nous, the difference between American
ideals and practice and German kultur
and atrocities.

ANOTHER WAY TO HELP IN
FOOD PRODUCTION

Jefferson City, March r. Every
urban resident having access to plot
of ground available for horticultural
purposes is again urged by Commits
sioner William H. Lewis of the Blu
reau of Labor Statistics, to plant 1t
early this spring in potatoes, cab
bage, peas, string beans, radishes,
lettuce, tomatoes, beets and similar
vegetables, to increase the food sup
ply of the family next fall and winter
and indirectly, that of the country,
and in this way to help to solve the
high cost Of living for all. Where
enough vacant land is available and
tie soil suitable for the purpose, the
raising of potatoes, onions and tur-
nips especially is advocated to in
crease the late 1918 and early 1919
supply of such foods.
Many vacant lots in St. Louis, Kan
sas City and st. Joseph, and other
cities of the State, says Commissioner
Lewis, can be readily and quickly
turned into thriving vegetable gar
dens by men and women residing in
the same neighborhood. Where va
cant space is large enough a neigh
borhood gardening club can be or
ganized and vegetables grown on the
community plan, each member de-
voting a certain number of hours
either daily or weekly as may be de-
cided upon, and each defraying a
share of the cost of planting seeds
and necessary garden tools. All pub
lie libraries have books which give full
information on how to successfully
raise vegetables, either on large OF
small scale. For cities and towns
which have water works, hose stretch.
ed from near hydrant will furnish
all the moisture needed for vegeta
bles if the spring and early summer
prove dry.

SOME OF THE GOOD RESULTS OF
THE WAR.

Humanity has paid the price, a ter
rible price for the good results of the
war But the price may have been ne
cessary to secure lasting results, for
mankind values most that which is
most expensive.
There will be at least three great
beneficial changes as the direct re-
suit of the war.
l. A broad, tolerant brotherhood of
man will replace hatreds, suspicious
and predjudices which have hereto
fore existed.
2. The rule of the people will every
where replace autocratic rule.
3. A World Parliament will replace
wars in the settlement of national dis
putes, and will guarantee and safe
guard the peace of the world for
ages to come.
Such results will be worth all that
they have cost.
