Jail for Judge Lynch

"To protect citizens of the United States against lynching in default of protection by the states" is the title of a bill introduced in the house of representatives by Leonidas c. Dyer of Missouri It is the first measure that has been presented to congress which undertakes to deal in an eff fective way with the lynching evil. It is aimed directly at the county off cers who fail to do their duty in pre- venting an attempted lynching, and makes such failure a crime against the United States, punishable by a fine of 5000 or Imprisonment for five years. In addition to proceeding against officers of the law who fail in their duty MT. Dyer provides that every county in which a lynching oc- CUTS shall forfeit a sum of not less than 5000 nor more than $1O,OO0, to be paid to the dependent family of the person put to death. To lovers of law and order it is indeed refresh ing to read Mir. Dyer's bill and it is the earnest hope of every good citizen that it may speedily be enacted into law.
 A Disgusting Substitute
 In recent discussion in the house l of representatives concerning the de- i layed transmission of mail from the I United States to our soldier boys in France, Congressman Gillett of Mas I sachusetts said: "The latest com plaint of which I have heard was of boy who wrote home saying that he did not receive any letters, but that the camp was flooded with tons of speeches of the secretary of the treasury; and I can think of nothing that seems to be more like asking for bread and being given a stone than for soldier boy to ask for let ters from home and have the postmas- ter general send him d frankel ad- vertisement of his colleague in the cabinet, Secretary McAdoo."
 Say What You Mean
 The bill providing six months pay 1 for the relatives of soldiers of the regular army whose deaths from wounds or disease result from serv ice applies to any officer or enlisted 1 man." The term enlisted man" isl considered dangerously ambiguous by Representative Edward c. Little of l Kansas, and he is advocating an amendment that will be sure to in- clude drafted men. The war depart ment considers all soldiers as zen listed no matter how they may haveI entered the service, but the diction- arv makes a distinction between "en- Iistedp and drafted" Mir Little con tends the language should be cleared in so as to avoid any complications in the future after the bill has become law.

STRAIGHT ROWS PROVE BEST
Give Most Attractive Appearance to
Garden, and In the End Also
?. Save Much Labor. Vs.

If the garden is made in straight
rows and in beds Of uniform size and
shape it will not only present more,
attractive appearance, thus adding to
the gardeners pride in his work, but
1t will be much easier to- cultivate
This latter fact is an important item
for consideration, as the average city
resident has none too much time in
which to cultivate his garden and the
work must be done If results are to
be obtained. Frequent blowing, as
much work as possible with the hoe,
and determination Of every weed that
shows its, head above the ground-all
these are necessary If the garden is
to produce to the limit of its capac-
ity. t5t>"-@ - IF r.. : '"
To insure that the rows will be per-
fectly straight all that Is necessary
is length of strong cord sufficient to
reach from end to end of the gardens
longest dimension. At each end OF
the cord fasten stout stake about
two feet long and sharpened at one
end so the stakes may easily be
thrust into the soil.
In city and town gardens, where
the space Is restricted, it Is best to
have the rows run the long way OF
the garden-north to south II posi-
ble-planting several kinds of similar
iy grown vegetables, like green onions,
carrots, radishes, etc. In the same
row. IF .a,..
If you plant such crops as beets,
radishes and onions in beds these can
be made four to six inches high by
digging narrow paths around the beds
with a hoe and throwing the soil upon
the beds. s.-%. Tyre
When the drainage Of the. garden is
not good it is well to grow cabbage,
cauliflower and similar crops on small
ridges thrown up with spade or hoe.
Other crops, among them early peas
and celery, should he planted in shall
low trenches scooped out with hoe.
When these plants grow the soil is
gradually worked back around the
roots.
Since hoeing must start early and
sometimes when the soil becomes
caked above the planted seeds 1t Is
necessary to break it, a few quick
growing radish. seeds, planter with
other sorts will quickly spring up
and show where the rows are.

FILIPINO SCHOOL CHILDREN.

Philippines shows that there are
about $4,000 Filipino children at

Mrs Brown stood in the doorway of her suburban home and eyed the tramp critically.
 Are you willing to work for a meal?" she asked at last. The tramp extended his hands expansively as though work was the one thing in life he hankered after, and his ap- parent sincerity overcame Mrs Browns last scruple.
 She retired into the house and presently returned bearing a large plate of food and a businesslike look ing hoe.
 When the tramp had eaten the food she handed him the hoe and pointed toward the garden path, remarking
 Now, 1 want you to clean out that gutter. You see, it's filled with mud"
 The tramp glanced at the gutter then at the hoe.
 I never use a hoe, when cleaning out a gutter he said.
 Never use a hoe? Then what do you use. a shovel?"

 You will not be called upon for any service you do not offer, is the reassurance given the women who may entertain a mistaken no tion about registration being draft into service away from home. Nothing of the sort is intended.
 The object of the registration may be summarized as follows:
 To give every woman an oppor- tunity to offer to her country such service as she is best fitted to rem der.
 To interpret to the government the possibilities of the woman power of the country.
 To furnish accurate information to the government of the capacities in which women are now serving, whether in their own homes, or in paid pursuits. trades or professions.
 TO have in every community lists of women carefully classified who are willing to be called upon for trained or untrained service to the state or the nation.
 To ascertain which women are available for service outside the home. and which are not.
 To list the women who wish to take training fin order to give more efficient service.
 To be able to furnish women for salaried positions of usefulness in many fields.
 TO be able to place women who can volunteer their services in po- sitions of usefulness in many fields.
 To have a registry of the capacities and training of the women of the country as the basis of the Woman's Committee of the National Council ] of Defense.

TRluMPH OVER u.eoATs

Washington, Feb. Representa- tive Miller, who recently visited the battle front in France, told the House today that he believes German sub marines are being destroyed about as rapidly as Germany can build them. He praised Vice Admiral Sims and argued American shipping should be handled by naval officers and not by the shipping board There were no Americans in the crew of the transports on which he crossed the Atlantic, he said.
 Mr. Miller said that during the last ten months three times as many submarines have been destroyed as during the previous two and half years.
