Don't Sprinkle Your Garden.

1T has already been explained, but
It will bear repeating, that watering a
plant or a garden space by sprinking
is usually more harmful than helpful,
inasmuch as it induces the growth, up
in the moistened area of fine feeding
rootlets that should be deep in the
ground. These, reaching in a network
near the surface for the moisture. find
themselves exposed to the fierce and
baking heat OF midsummer whenever
the moisture dries out, and dry out il
will. They are unable to bear this
scorching, begging extremely tender and
demanding cool earth around them;
and the result is either death to the
plant or so weakened and miserable a
condition that it might as we'll die.
This surface watering by hose or
hand bears no relation OF course, to
thorough saturation such as a system
Of irrigation makes possible But un-
less such a system is installed | would
urge every gardener in the country to
pin his faith to the cultvator and his
own industry herewith, rather than to
any method of watering by hand. Ger
tain things may be 'watered in when
transplanting but otherwise, eschew the
hose and watering can" - Woman's
Home Companion.

r ONDON-Duke Ernst Gun
ther Of Schleswig Holstein,
- brother OF the German em-
press, has written an article on
American Morality" to Nord und
Sud He remarks:
This president dares TO express
his moral Indignation about Ger
man conditions. Russia is the only
country where corruption is on
par with the corruption in
America"
The American money magnate,
says the duke, is without shame.
Then he continues
Every one OF them has his two
senator's and several members of
congress in his pockets, Nothing
is thought of this, it is so usual.
Wilson knows all about it and yet
he has the face to caStigate us.
I'VE Germans do not hate the
Latin races. Hate is foreign to our
nature. But ! am sure that were
a referendum Of the German peo-
pie to be taken today as to the man
they most detest, there would be
unanimous vote for President Will
son because of his Phariseeism,
because of his unctious indignation,
which is so contrary to his real acts
"He might have kept the peace of
the world, but instead of this he
allowed himself to become the crea-
ture of the Morgan trust; he sue
cumbed to plutocratic influences in
their most frightful form"

MAKES MORE CHANGES IN
DISTRIBUTION OF SUGAR
Food Administration Adopts Plan tC
Prevent Duplication of Pur-
ChaSeS.

SPOKANE, July 12.-Sweeping
changes affecting the distribution of
sugar have just been received by
Charles Hebberd, food administrator
for Washington. Under the new
plan there will be complete check
on the home Gamer and he will find
it impossible to duplicate purchases.
Previously the home Gamer was
allowed to purchase 25 pounds of
sugar by simply signing a statement
in retailers book. Now the pur-
chaser will sign card, which has
been distributed to retailers. saying
the purchaser will use the sugar for
canning and preserving only. The
card will be sent to the county food
administrator. Should the home can
ner wish an additional 25 pounds he
must first obtain permit from the
county food administrator. who will
issue it on evidence that the previous
purchase has been used for canning
Three reasons are given for the
necessity of cutting down sugar use.
Increased shipping demand for the
overseas forces has cut down impOr-
tation, the crop is short in the West
Indies and in France and Italy and
there has been considerable loss due
to sinking by submarines.

LEI CAMP LEWIS
PAVING CONTRACT
BIDS so HIGH THAT BOARDS CUT
ONE MILE OFF HIGHWAY
PROJECT.

Because all the bids received were
higher than the amount of money
available, the county commissioners
and state highway board Tuesday,
after two days consideration, cut one
mile off the Olympia-Camp Lewis
highway project and let the contract
for paving five miles of it this year.
The lowest bid received for the
full six-mile stretch was $169,248, or
$28,248 more than the appropriation
available. 1t was submitted by r. M.
Hardy, Seattle contractor, to whom
the five-mile job was later awarded
for $141, 900, all the money on hand
this year in the combined funds of
the county, state and federal govern
ments.
Both the state highway board and
the county commissioners agreed that
the pavement Of the road this year is
imperative, to take advantage of the
$4,000 offered by the government.
to avoid the necessity of re-gravelling
the present highway at cost of
$250O a mile and to provide suit
able highway between Olympia and
Camp Lewis at an early a date as pos
sible.
The mile left unpaved will be on
the Nisqually end of the road and It
was also said that, inasmuch as It
will have to be partially regarded
this year because of changes due to
tho new bridge, 1t is probably better
not to pave 1t Immediately.
Work on the paving was started
this week, day or two after the con-
