1t was half-past ten on a dreamy,
languorous, moonlight night in mid
summer, night on which hearts in
stinctively seek mate and linger long
ingly.
BERTHE Patton on the Fords' front
porch, swinging slowly in the green
willow seat, shifted uneasily when he
heard the town clock strike the half
hour. He knew that the lights In the
parlor chandelier now filtering through
the finely webbed curtains and tracing
a graceful pattern on Roses round
cheek would snap out in somewhat less
than five minutes. Ten-thirty was
Papa Ford's hour. Never had Rose
looked so adorable, never had parting

'Yes, I'll stay. Mrs. Ford. Don't
you worry"
And Rose supplemented: "You may
as well turn out the lights, mamma.
They seem to hurt my eyes,"
The lights went off and there was
quiet, ecstatic peace.

GROW PLENTY OF SPUDS

The weather man is evidently preparing to let us have
some weather in which the fragrant onion set can be
stuck in his little row and the radiFh and the lettuce be
planted with seeds enough in a six foot row to plant a ten
foot square bed. In many favored spots the ground is
about right for spading and is being turned upside down
and prepared for whatever is coming to it. 1t is time all
kinds of garden truck was planted, for the earlier the
better on account Of the shy character OF the summer
rains. Don't be afraid of planting too much. Make your
plans as though no one else was even thinking ABOUT
making garden, and you were going to supply everybody;
It is claimed too many potatoes were grown last year, and
while three is still quite a supply of them It IS douotIul II
there will be any very large surplus. The Kings PfoductS
Company will make a market for a great lot OF them, ana
the starch factory will use up another large lot, and be-
sides we cannot tell yet what the wheat yield is to be or
whether we are to face another shortage. AS a matter OIL
fact with the demand that will certainly be made on us,
if the war continues, it is already certain that other
cereals or vegetables will have to be substituted for wheat,

a large measure supply the substitute for grains. Some
one has said: "in time of peace prepare for war, and TINS
applies to the growing Of the lowly spud. 1t is better TO
have twenty million bushels too many than a million
bushels too few. They are an insurance against munger
and perhaps starvation, and we will be foolish In deed II
we fail to grow a goodly surplus of them, or at least
prepare to, for what the crop OF cereals VIII be no one
can tell yet.

O THE DUTCH SHIPS

A dispatch from The Hague yesterday stated the
Netherlands government had consented to the allies OIL
fer as to ships. At the same time no details were gwen,
or any information other than the bare statement OIL heF
consent II was also announced that Germany would
close the open lane kept for the Dutch and would here
after torpedo every Dutch ship it caught. While It was
stated in the early dispatches that the Dutch ships IN
American ports would be taken over at noon, and Amer
lcan sailors placed aboard there was nothing to show that
this was done. 1t was expected Holland would set up that
while she did not want to allow the allies to take over
her shipping that she was powerless to help herself and
so had to Weld. It was expected she would take this
course to square herself with Germany, for while the lat
ter country might consider it camouflage, it is true Just
the same, for Holland cannot help herself. A feature OF
tbe DAVIS proceedings was the protest sent Germany by.
Norway, which is a rather vigorous piece Of diplomatic
correspondence. The tonnage taken over or to be taken,
situate in this country, amounts to about 450000 tons ana
this viii 90 a long ways toward supplying the deficiency
caused by submarine s%inkings, and tide the government
along until the ships now leaving the American yards are
ready for service.
