THE MIND REFUSES GRIEF ONLY.

I felt q little burst of pride In the
fact that had made you forget your
self Dick, dear, I expect you did
not live long enough to learn that
fact. Few men ever love enough to
forget themselves sometimes think
that was what caused my great in

seemed TO be wishing me to make
him happy. His only object in life,
when he was near me. was to make
me as happy as he could.
What a tangled skein life Is, little

one knot and there Is another.
Here I sit writing to you and your

Have you got that garden plan
down on paper SO that you know just
how you will arrange your tall plants
and short plants and vine plants,
asks today's bulletin from the Ma
tional War Garden Commission, of
Washington.
II not, you had better sketch the
plan and then stick to It. Have the
low ground plants together. such as
beets, carrots. lettuce, turnips, ETC..
and IL the ground is very rich the
rows may be as near together as Is
or IL inches. If II is not especially
rich, make the rows "a to 30 inches
apart. Group together the taller
plants, such as bush beans, bush lima
beans. dwarf peas, potatoes, cabbage,
caulihower, eggplant. and pepper.
These rows must be 30 to So inches
apart. The very tall plants like pole
beans, pole lima beans, and sweet
corn, need section by themselves
and had better be on the north IL 1t
can be arranged so as not to shade
the low growing plants too much.
These rows may be from . to 4 feet

HOROSCOPE.
Thursday, May 0, 1918.

According to astrology this is a day
Of many conflicting planetary infiu-
ences, for while Uranus. Mercury,
Venus and the Sun are all in benetic
aspect. Mars. Jupiter. Neptune and
Saturn are all adverse.
1t would seem to be a time in which
both on land and sea conflicts might
take place. the battles being severe
and uncertain in results.
There Is great danger of treachery.
betrayal and fiendish cruelty under
this rule of the stars.
The signs seem to indicate that Sc
cret enemies are active in places where
they are least suspected. The seers
declare they are busy among the col
ored folk of the South and that they
have strongholds in Washington.
Saturn's craft will be seen in finan-
cial affairs as well as those OF the
army and navy, astrologers foretell,
and this planet directs Germany in
many an evil plan.
Women should be successful in all
efforts of a public nature, while this
configuration prevails. In war work,

which il an auspicious date for we'd
dings.
Caution is given that it is wise to
rely on the law OF love as far as DOS
sible in all dealings with citizens OF
the United States, who should be
bound together by ties OF mutual un-
derstanding and sympathy. This is q
warning that probably concerns strikes
and labor troubles.
Rapid growth OF world fame and
world respect is proEnosticated for the
United States. which will develop su-
perb possibilities in its armies.
All the signs seem to foreshadow
surprising and unexpected events that
will bring about peace.
Persons whose birthdate It is will en-
joy travel and change, but business
conditions may cause anxiety.
Children born on this day NAV be ex-

thing which carries his name.

Army and Navy News

Recent opinions announced by the
Judge advocate general of the army
include the following:
Female skilled laborers in tie en-
ploy of the United States who are
over q years OF age may be put on
night work on an eight-hour shift.
The laws of The state in which they
are so employed. limiting the classes
OF persons who may be employed by
the government or prescribing the
hours OF labor or the compensation
which may be paid them. are not ap-
plicable, since the operations OF the
federal government in the exercise Of
its powers are entirely beyond the
field OF regulation by State authority.
This is equally true whether such
women are employed in an arsenaI or
on property not owned by the govern
mcnt.
Where land, on which the owner
and his family reside, is requisitIoned
for military purposes. the government
can not undertake to provide d new
home for such persons: though IL the
dwelling house thereon is not nceded
by the government, they might in =
