Put in Early.

The tender crops which are
grown from seed Beans, Corn,
Cucumbers, Melons. Squash,
Okra, Pumpkins and Water
melons should be put in as early
as the gardner can estimate, as
soon as danger of late frost is
over. Of course it is impossible
to know just when that date will
be, but, if one keeps careful
watch and follows the lead of
the most experienced neighbor
gardener he will come pretty
close to it. A row or two of
Beets and Corn may be put in
ON a chance a little early" if
one has the seed to spare as the
expense is not great if the first
planting does get nipped.

Review Of the Week.

In his weekly financial review,
under date of May 11th. Henry
Clews, one of New York City's
foremost bankers, says that the
comparative quietness still ruling
at the front suggests prepara-
tions for a renewed drive by the
enemy against the Allies. The
fact thet this has not occurred
earlier is proof of the exhaustion
which followed the previous
drive, as well as the difficulties to
be overcome in carrying out the
original objective of the Ger
man forces. One thing is quite
certain and that is, that in spite
of ground lost by the Allies in
the Somme district, their morale
has not been impaired but has on
the contrary steadily risen, while
that of the Germans has as stead
lily fallen. This result is attrib-
table to the terrific price in
lives paid by the Germans, and
to disappointment at their fall
ure to overcome Allied resist
ance. Germany is conscious
that the chances of winning this
war are rapidly fading now that
American troops are going across
in ever increasing numbers. Sec
retary Baker made the significant
admission that more than half a
million American soldiers are
now in France, and there is rea-
son for believing that during
1918 we are likely to have fully a
million over there. German
leaders refuse to admit heir
doom is sealed, and in bitterness
of spirit they prefer to wreck
everything within reach rather
than submit to the inevitable.
The longer Germany prolongs
the war the more severe and per-
manent the self-inficted disaster
will prove. Germany's rulers
brought down upon their coun-
try the bitterest hatred ever con-
ceived. 1t was made in Ger
many, and Germany must suffer
the penalty Of its crime.
The extraordinary success of
the Third Liberty Loan should
impress upon the enemy the ut
ter hopelessness of carrying on
the war. We raised in a few
short weeks nearly S4,0O0,0O0, :
900 in money contributed by IT,
100000 or more subscribers. The
enthusiasm displayed in taking
the loan far exceeded all expec-
tations, and must be interpreted
as a remarkable demonstration
of American earnestness and un-
ity in the determination to carry
on the war to successful con-
clusion. If the German people
really understood the mind of the
Allies, this war would quickly
end,

WHAT FREEDOM OF THE SEAS IS NOT

JIYORD comes from London that the
w British are reassured by the discovery
that President Wilson's theory Of the free
dom Of thS seas does not involve de-
mand for the abandonment Of the contra
band law, the right Of search for contra
band or the right to enforce blockade.
The United States has never contended
for the abandonment Of any Of these
things, though it's historical record for
more than a hundred years has placed It
in opposition to other restrictions on the
free use of the seas. But we have block
AIDED ports, We have seized contraband and
We have searched neutral ships for It. and
we have established the principle that the
ultimate destination Of suspected cargoes,
and not the first port at which they are
to be landed, Is to decide whether they are
contraband for the use Of the enemy or
not.
By eliminating all the wartime restric-
tons on ocean trade on which the nations
are agreed It will be.easy to discover those
issues on which there must be cornpro-
mise but If We keep in mind that free
dom of the seas does not mean that ma
tlons must give up their right to make
war upon enemy traffic on the seas, or
must give up their right to prevent neu-
trails from giving aid and comfort to the
enemy, we shall clarity our thinking.

WHEN GIRLS SMOKE CIGARETTES

A WELL-KNOWN young lady in Mana
"A yunk was blown to atoms when q
young man lighted her cigarette. We call
her young, because she is possessed Of I'M
mortal youth. Her name is Diana. And
she was posing in a tobacco store with a
brass cigarette IN her mouth from which
4 gas fame burned for the accommodation
Of the customers.
There are other Dianas who smoke ciga-
rsttes not made Of brass, but so far as we
have learned they have not yet been blown
to atoms, even though their mothers have
blown them up when they have discovered
what their daughters have been doing. The
fact that they wish to be in fashion does
not justify them in the eyes Of their
mothers. Nor does the example of Diana,
Swho was born long before cigarettes were
invented, excuse them in the eyes Of some
young men with oid-fashiored ideas. But
there Is no telling when every woman will
be smoking, just as the great-srandmothers
Of some Of the best OF them used to light
their old clay pipes after each meal and
cit in comfort by the fireside.

THE BRITISH ELECTION

NOBODY, even in England. is SO rash as
y to say how the election in Great Brit
ain and Ireland tomorrow Is to result. The
franchise has been extended to eight mil
lion new voters by an act passed this
year, doubling the electors and including
in them six million women thirty years
old or over. No one knows how these new
electors will vote. This alone is enough
70 make men chary Of forecasts
But there is a great confusion Of issues
some Of them new and some old appearing
in a new form. No one knows what the
people are thinking on these questions.
For example, there is large body OF boc!al
questions raised by the Labcr party on
which the nation has never passed at an
election. The Labor party has a member
ship of three million, and is estimated
that there are four or five million other
voters who are supposed to sympathize
with the aims Of that party, But no one
can tell how nearly correct this estimate
10 until the vote is counted. There were
J thirty-five Labor members in the House
of Commons in 1914. It is estimated that
this number will be increased to eighty
out of total membership in the House
Of about $50.
The Coalition Government is seeking
support by securing the nomination Of its
importers in various constituencies. Some
Of the candidates are Liberals and some
are Conservatives. Some o. them are fol
lowers Of Lloyd George, who is charged
with deserting his old Liberal associates
ana joining himself with the Conservatives
Others are followers Of Asquith, also q
Libsral And stiil others are CONSERVATIVES
ana anti-home-rulers. But they are al
committed to support of the plan to solv'
rho after.thewar problems by the united
Council OF the great parties instead Of b,
!, ne wisdom Of a single party.

YTIIE Lincoln Highway is the great ma
