You Have Garden Seed N0w--Save 1t
Some of the garden seed now grow
ing abundant in your garden will
be needed next year when planting
time comes. Better save a supply
while you can. 1t is not hard to save
seed and quite frequently the home
grown supply is better than any that
can be bought from the seedman.
Homegrown seeds are suited to local
environment, and the vigor and pro-
ductiveness of the plants from which
they are selected can be taken into
consideration-which is an important
point in selecting homegrown seed.
Wait until the seed natures, then
dry it thoroughly Immediately after
it has been harvested, put it in pack
ages we'll labeled, and store in dry
place where it can not be destroyed
by insects, rats, or mice.

of seed potatoes, selecting healthy

Store the homegrown root crops
Home gardeners who have not al
ready provided. storage rooms for the
supply of storable tubers and roots
growing in their gardens Should i'm
mediately take steps to make pro-
vision for protecting these products
so as to make them available for use
long after conditions outside are un-
suitable for growth. Such storage
rooms can be provided by partition
ing off a corner Of the cellar of the
house or, where the supply is large,
the cellar of an outbuilding or spec
tally constructed storage cellar may
be needed to serve the purpose.
A discussion of such storage rooms

SENATE PASSES THE
WIRE CONTROL BILL
j. S. Will Take Over Phone
and Telegraph Service.

Washington, July 15.-Power to
lake over the nations telegraph, tele-
phone, radio and cable lines now rests
in the hands of President Wilson.
Climaxing a week of stormy debate,
The senate passed, unamended, and
by vote of 46 to 49, the resolution
authorizing the president to assume
control of the communication lines
wherever he deems it necessary.
The house had previously passed
the measure, and the resolution now
goes TO the president for his sigma
ture.
With the adoption of the wires
control measure, it was confidently
predicted by congressional authorities
that the president would lose no tim"
in taking over the lines. Millions of
miles of wire, thousands of men and
millions of dollars are involved in the
proposed action.
Postmaster General Rurleson, III
whose hands control may be placed,
would keep the present wire organi-
cations more or less intact, develop
ing and operating organization similar
in principle to that now running the
railroads under federal control
IF l am called upon to select MAJ,

WORK OF OLD MEN IN WAR
Geniuses Who Did Not LAG Super
fiuous on the Stage" During tho
Present Conflict.

"Old men for counsel" is the saying;
'young men for war" But this war
rather falsifies the old adage. At sew
enty-seven Clemenceau Of France re-
mains SO energetic that he still de-
serves his cognomen Of the tiger"
Joffre was an old man when he won
the battle Of the Marine. Lloyd George
is not exactly young. Woodrow Will
son is past sixty. But none Of them
seems to require the Osler method Of
being chloroformed out of existence,
says the Spokane Spokesman Review.
These veterans do not flag superduous
on the stage" Cato learned Greek at
eighty, Chaucer composed his "Can-
terbury Tales" at sixty. Goethe toi,ed
to the end and his Faust" was not
completed till he had overlived eighty.
Simonides won a prize for poetry and
SophOcles wrote "Oedipus" when each
had passed fourscore. Theophrastus
outdid them all, for he was ninety
when he commenced his Characters Of
Men"
