A half-acre garden, If cared for prop
erly, Will produce far more vegetables
than the average family can consume
during the maturing period of the
crops. Only small portion of n gar
den of this size should be devoted to
those vegetables that must be used as
soon as they reach maturity. 1t Is
advisable to devote the major portion
of the space to those crops which If
not needed at once may be kept for
winter use. In fact, If the space Is
available the garden should be planned
with the definite purpose Of growing
crops for storage for winter use.
Late beets, late cabbage, carrots. eel
cry, onions, parsnlps, late potatoes,
sweet potatoes, satisfy, and late tur-
nips may be stored in their natural
condition and If possible should be
grown to the extent of the family
needs for storage for winter use.
Work Garden All Season.
1t is possible In nearly all sections
of the country to grow late beets, lnte
cabbage. late potatoes and turnlps on
ground that has already produced IL
crop of lettuce, radishes, beans, early
peas, early potatoes, or some crop re-
quiring relatively short period for
its maturity. Gardeners are inclined
to neglect the opportunities for crop
production In the garden after the first
of the season has passed and frequent
ly space is allowed to lie idle that
should be producing crop of late po-
tntoes, cabbage or turnips. In sections
where the season Is short 1t is possi-

of early potatoes some two or three
weeks before the potatoes are mar

follow the first crop occupying the

Just how few pairs of shoes can we
get along with this summer? That's
the question that women are called
upon to settle for themselves. now
that wartime economy calls for re-
trenchment on oil sides. Secretary
McAdoo says he has his shoes half
soled when they need it-and appears
to be proud of 1t. recommending this
course to every one else. Leaving out
house slippers and evening slippers
that need not come In the reckoning at
all, three pairs of good shoes will see
one through. This will seem an I'M
possibly slim allowance to the woman
who usually buys from six to twelve
pairs, but three pairs will answer.
There is no economy In having only
one pair of street shoes, because they
wear much longer and look much bet
ter when two pairs are worn alter
nately. Shoe trees keep them In good
shape when they are not In use and
are as necessary to shoes as hangers
are to coats and frocks.
A wartime summer outfit In shoes
might follow the suggestion in the
group Of three pairs shown In the pic
ture. These do not include shoes
made solely for sportswear, which can
be considered beside the question of
shoes that are Indispensable. All the
shoes pictured are In the best mate

matters of real economy in footwear.

Lying Denial of Atrocities.

The natural feeling of disgust that
a reading of the last German note ex-
cites because of the clubbing, I'M
manly tone of the whole document has
perhaps led many of US to overlook
one phase of it that should be con-
trolling as to our attitude.
Deep as may have been the con-
trolling elements, the direct cause for
the United States being at war with
Germany was avowedly the cruel and
inhumane character of the war that
Germany has waged against the world
generally.
At this moment, while asking for
peace, the German government, pro-
Tossing to represent and speak for the
German people, impudently denies the
very facts that brought us into the war.
This insolent lie sufficiently stamps
the government that utters it as iden-
teal with the criminal government
that launched the saturnalia of muir
der, loot and rape upon the world and
with which the United States is re-
solved to war to the death.

"The German State of Austria"


A dispatch from Switzerland states
that the German-Austrian deputies in
the Austrian reichsrath have issued q
declaration announcing the creation Of
the German State of Austria" This
may portend a highly important move.
With Hungary moving toward sep
aration from the dual monarchy and
Bohemia virtually in revolt, and the
government at Vienna trembling on
the verge Of separate peace with the
allies, it may be that Germany is NOV
ing to hold Austria in line by drastic
means. The German-Austrian dele
gates in the reichsrath have always
been at the beck and call Of the gov.
ernment at Berlin. IF now they are
declaring for the creation Of "Ger-
man State Of Austria" they may be
laying the foundations for the merging
of Germany and Austria under Ger
man dominion. Such q declaration
might be utilized by the government at
Berlin as excuse for exercising full
authority at Vienna, if excuse were
needed. This, in short, may be a

well. They will have to learn to turn

But there are politicians who turn
both tricks easily and to their advan-
tage. They are equally at home and
effective on a platform confronting a
sea of faces, or on a curbstone, or in
tavern lobby, or seated at a Preside,
hobnobbing with a few cronies. They
are masters of both public and private

placed.

who died in this town recently, be-
longed in this class. He was at once q
very attractive stump orator and q

in politics by the exercise Of both arts.
1t is related of him that on one &C.
casion when a candidate for Congress
he attended "burgoo" given in a fine
grove, and received a most cordial
greeting. Some remarks were, of
course, expectsd of him. He took a

American War Medals.

President Wilson chose an appro.
pirate time to award distinguished
service medals to Marshals Foch, Joffre
and Haig and Gems. Petain, Diaz, Gill
liam and Pershing. These seven Off.
GERS have rendered invaluable services
to the allied cause, and it is meet that
they should receive the highest Ameri-
can token Of recognition and reward
The inclusion of Marshal Joffre in the
list, though he is not at present en-
gagged in the active campaign, is most
appropriate. Had it not been for
Joffre the war would not have contin-
ued long enough for America to enter
it as champion Of liberty. His vic
tory at the Marine defeated Germany's
plan Of conquest. His work during the
long period Of trench warfare was of
incalculable value in maintaining the
lines intact and unfolding the spirit
Of the allied forces. The American
distinguished service medal will be
worn by these seven officers as a badge
Of the highest distinction.

Germany's Reform Camouaage.

Much is made in the latest German
note of certain so-caned constitutional
changes in progress in that country
giving the people greater power in the
matter of making war and peace. The
reichstag, it is asserted, is given con-
current power with the federal council
save in case of invasion or sea attack,
when the sovereign may proclaim a
state of war. This amounts to pre-
cisely nothing at all as a check upon
the emperor. In 1914 war was de-
clared as measure of defense. All
the world-outside of Germany, at
least-knows that there was no war
rant for that claim. Germany was not
attacked. Russia's mobilization was
simply in recognition of the plain
menace to her frontier involved in
Germany's own preparations to "sup-
port" Austria in the event of breach
of the peace in the Balkans.
With the power of declaring war "for
defense" vested in the emperor Ger
many remains as before a constant
threat against the peace of the world.
An imperieus ruler can always create
conditions making war inevitable, if
he desires it.
Changes in the German constitution
from above are of no value whatever
now as guarantees Of true popular gov
eminent. As long as the imperial sys-
tenn remains Germany will stand as a
dangerous force. The present out
spoken expressions of the German
press, strangely permitted freedom in
this crisis, indicate that the RESPONSE
bility for the disaster that has over
taken the. nation is definitely placed
by the people upon the ruling family
and the several hundred officials who
comprise the real government. De-
mands for the abdication of the kaiser
and even for the punishment of all
those guilty of the crime of war are
being voiced.
Evidently the German people do not
recognize the so-called reforms as suf-
feient. Long accustomed to obedience,
they are suddenly finding courage to
state their grievances. The chancellor
indicates, in his speech to the reichs-
tag, a realization of the possibility Of
a popular uprising. The sop that has
been thrown to the public in the form
Of an enlargement of the warmaking
power of the reichstag has not satis
fed it. The people are not concerned
now with the authority for making
war. What they want is peace, and
many of them, according to the ex-
tracts from the German press that
have reached across the sea, are will
ing and eager for it at any price, even
at the cost of the "glory and power of
imperial Germany"

The Influenza and the Campaign

Temporarily, exit the orator, enter

influenza will make public meetings

some men, and against others. Can

The Latest Naval Program.

The Navy Department recommends

gram. The program provides for ten

and one hundred and forty smaller
vessels. The cost of the whole is esti-
mated at six hundred million dollars.
third of the sum to be made avail
able next year.
In an interview Secretary Daniels
says:
"The new three-year program is a
continuation of the policy adopted in
1916 of increasing the Navy, and con-
templates its steady upbuilding and
improvement. 1t is in line with the
policy adopted by this government .
and which has met with the entire ap-
proval of the American people, of build
ing up Navy strong enough to meet
all requirements"
Both Congress and the country are
in most friendly attitude toward the
Navy, and all for which the Navy
stands. They want it built up ito
meet all requirements; and the war
has shown and is showing the full size
and nature of those requirements. 1t
is plain to all now that what the Presi-
dent has advised will be the supreme
need of the nation in the times to come
fan Incompatible Navy" If We are
not made sufficiently strong on the
water, we shall be weak everywhere,
and unable to meet our obligations to
ourselves or to others.
The money charge will be large, but
we have to remember that, in fact, it
will be covering, not few, but many
years. We have been neglecting, starv-
ing, the Navy in the most ine1cusable
fashion. We have been higgling over
propositions for the smallest increases
There were those opposed to any in
creases at all; and but for the ire
sistible spur of the war we should prob
ably still be pursuing that fatuous
course.
1t would be nothing to the point now
to 60 into the subject of the respon-
sibility for that course. As a matter
of fact, both parties share it. Neither
when in full control of the government
saw, or did, its duty. There were
friends of the Navy in both, but not
strong enough in either to secure for
the national interests on the water
their just due.
1t is sufficient to note that, now that
war has forced their hands, both par
ties are cooperating in the work of

portance, not only as respects the pres
emit emergency, but when that emer-
gency shall have passed, both are in
