3RD LIBERTY
 LOAN WARS
 ANNIVERSARY

Secretary McAdoo authorizes the following:
 The campaign for the third Lib erty loan will be opened on tthe 9th Of April, 1918, the first an- niyersarv of the declaration of a state of war between the United States and Germany.
 The amount, terms, and conditions of the loan have not yet been de- cided because these features are dependent upon further legislation. l expect to ask the Congress at an early date to grant the necessary additional authority. Of course, the opening date of the campaign Is somewhat dependent upon the new Legislation, but it is hoped and be- lieved that the matter can be con- sidered and determined in ample time to begin the campaign on the date sugg ested.
The daily Alaskan., 1918-03-16
Day COnseCIated in History.

April will forever be 8 cOnse- crated day in American history and it seems peculiraly appropriate that the opening of the second year of our participation in this war for the honor and rights of America and the freedom of the world should be celebrated with a Nationwide drive Tor another Liberty loan.
 The campaign should begin with great Demonstrations of patriotism in every city, town, and hamlet in the country that will truly express the spirit O. aroused America. On this date every Americanl should pledge anew to his Government the full measure of his resources and re solve to make every required sacri- flee in the same ferYent spirit that impels our gallant sons in the Itrenchcs of France and on the waters of the Atlantic to shed their blood in Americas sacred cause.
The daily Alaskan., 1918-03-16
Date Considered FittinR One

To ,arry forward Americas essen- tial part in this war for righteous ness and justice, every man and wo- man Il the country must lend their available means to the Government and know of no more fitting time for such patriotic response to the call of duty than the beginning of the second year of the war.
 Tie campaign in all probability will last three or four weeks and announcement of the opening date is made at this time In accordance with my promise to make public al matters connected with the loan as soon as determined and in order that ample time may be given every community to prepare for the event.
 l earnestly hope that parades and patriotic meetings will be held in all parts of the country. The Trea- sury department will endeaVor to make the observance of the ami versaIy Of the declaration of war as memorable as was the patriotic ob- servance during the second Liber- ty loan campaign of Liberty Day on the 24th of October, 1917.

azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs and 9TH
er blossoms, which are brought to the
zenith Of their glory at Eastertide.
After series of tests made by the
department of agriculture in various
states it has been found that tulips,
narcissi and hyacinths can best be
produced in this country in certain
parts of the Pacific coast, these being
northwest Washington and northwest
California, and that there are areas in
those states extensive enough to sup
ply all the bulbs this country needs,
with soil and climatic conditions even
more favorable for the culture of
dutch bulbs than the HARLEM bulb
district Of Holland.
Said one Of the scientists of the de-
partment Of agriculture in a recent
talk on the subject of bulb culture in
America for the home trade: zone of
the main deterrent factors with those
who contemplate entering the business
In this country, where 1t seems prob
able they can produce better article
than the imported, is that of the ex-
tensive hand labor as yet necessitated
In bulb culture. The biggest Job in
this connection is digging. As the
business expands, however, it is raore
than likely that the American farm
implement manufacturer will provide
machinery to overcome this need, as
he has in the past overcome every 9TH
er obstacle in farm operation. OF late
1t is reported that machinery is COM
Ing into use even In Holland to a linn
tied extent in bulb culture on account
Of the scarcity Of labor due to war
conditions"
Whether due to the war, or to a
knowledge Of the tendency on the part
Of the United States to keep its bulb
trade at home, a number Of Holland
and Belgium bulb and decorative plant
growers have emigrated to the Pacific
coast and have entered the business
with view to assisting in the Ameri-
can supply of Easter flowers. One
grower of azaleas and araucarias who
came from Client In Belgium Is en-
deavoring to establish this business in
California. He made the statement
ito the effect that he found con.
ditions here superior to those in
Belgium. One great advantage, he
finds, Is that plants bud here fully
several weeks before they finish bud.
ding in Client, enabling them to be
forced for the early American market.
He states that America imports an
nually between two and three millions
OF decorative plants, including rhodo-
dendrons, azaleas, hollies, boxwoods

Screw Bores Its Own Hole.

Evidently Charles o. Woodward, of
Providence, r. l., has often had con-
siderable trouble in driving the con-
ventional wood screw into hard wood,
for he has developed screw which
bores its own hole as 1t proceeds. Ac-
cording to his patent claims, says the
Scientific American, he has devised a
countersinking gimlet-pointed screw
having at the root of its point bulge
constituting the largest diameter of
the shank, and having across It's
thread a spiral groove, one end of
which forms cutter at the bulge.
The groove goes once around the
screw and terminates at the slant of
the head and at the root of the gimlet
point.

chosen to symbolic the resurrection
as it. is celebrated at Easter.
Some years ago the United States
department of agriculture took note
Of this annual exodus of American
funds, growing larger year by year,
and since then it has been taking eff
fectual measures to keep those mil
lions at home. In the case of the Eas-
ter lily, the narcissus, the hyaclnth
and the tulip, with other spring bios
SONS used at Easter in immense
quantities, the governments expert
ments have proved that all caa be
grown in this country, not only as
well as abroaG, but better, and TIE de-
partment scientists are now working
out the problems of how and In ex-
actly what sections Of the country
Easter lilies and other bulbous plants
and delicate Towering shrubs may be
grown to best advantage.
OF late years the Bermuda lily bulbs
have given the United States florists
trouble by reason Of disease, which
has caused great uncertainty as to re-
suit and general deterioration in the
stock, a condition attributable, it is be-
lieved, to continuous planting in the
same spot. On account of this difficult
ty with the lily from Bermuda this
country's trade has been transferred
in large part to Japan, some Of whose
islands now supply the larger part Of
%ro ln IL, Eo Tor
Easter lilies are shipped into the
larger cities Of the East, such as New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, during
the months Of July and August. Each
Of these cities receive hundreds Of
thousands of bulbs annually and dis
tribute them to the trade, the larger
florists taking from ten thousand to
fifteen thousand bulbs season. The
price of the bulbs Is in the neighbor-
hood of a hundred dollars a thousand.
The florist loses no time in planting
his precious freight in temperature
where only the root will start.
To obtain perfectly healthy American
stock from which to make its expert
ments in bulb culture in thisi country
the department Of agriculture some
years ago planted the seed Of the
lilium longiflorum, which is the botani-
cal name of cur familiar Easter lily.
From this planting there resulted sew
eral pounds of seed, with which ex-
periments were made in sections of
Florida. Mississippi, the state Of Wash
ingtOn, Texas and California. The re-
suit has been the production Of strong
er, healthier and handsomer Easter
lilies than can be grown from, import
ed bulbs. Federal experimentation
proves that climatic and sofl condi-
tons in southern California are such
as to favor the production Of the fin
est Easter lilies in the world.
The department Of agriculture is al-
so expending its efforts upon other
plants, whose bulbs and roots are i'm
ported each year at cost of nearly
three million dollars to supply the
Easter trade. These include hyacinths,
tulips and narcissi, with the decorative

How to Pour Liquids,

In pouring liquid from jug or bot
tie the vessel should be held with the
opening downward. rather than hori-
zontally, If convenient, and swung
quickly with circular motion. The
liquid will rotate and in leaving the
opening will permit air to enter con-
tinuously, causing the liquid to run
out rapidly and without intermittent
gurgling sounds.
If the opening Of the container is ut

produced here In commercial quaint.
ties at cost which will defy .competi-
ton, provided the transcontinental
railways will encourage the develop
ment Of right rates, which will enable
dealers to use the homegrown prod
ucts.
There is one widely used Easter
flower, formerly imported from Hol-
land, which has been thoroughly estab-
lished in this country, having been
brought to bloom in sufficient quantity
to supply the entire demand. This is
the freesia, priced by florists and peo-
pie alike as a beautiful and fragrant
Easter blossom. A talk with one Of
the horticultural experts Of the depart
ment of agriculture resulted in some
interesting facts concerning the feesia.
"ThI plant is a native Of South
Africa" he said, "but had been COM
mercia.ly grown in Holland up to
about fifteen years ago, when it was
found that it could be produced here
more satisfactorily than it could be
imported. We have produced strains
larger and finer and very much better
fitted for our use than the original
flower. 1t has been developed in Flor
ida, to some extent in Georgia, but to
the greatest extent in California.
where it Is cultivated In great, sweet.
scented fields in Santa Ana, Santa
Barbara, Pasadena and San Gabriel.
These towns are the center Of our
home grown freesia, now thoroughly
Americanized and supplying our entire
trade.
"The original colors Of the freesia
were white, known as Purity and a
rather lurid yellow, but about fifteen
years ago few plants of pale pink
tinted species, known as 'Freesia arm
strongii,' were found in Natal, South
Africa. It was a small, lilac pink
flower, but scentless. This species
seems to be extremely rare in nature
and it was eagerly seized upon by
propagators in different parts of the
world.
"Italy. France, Holland, England and
this country all procured specimens,
and by hybridizing and intercrossing
the seedlings great range of beauti-
full colors have been produced. They
run from cream to golden yellow on
one hand, and to pale pink and light
crimson on the other, and even blue
has been developed. These varieties
are still scarce, but they are known,
to the trade, which has termed them
rainbow freesias.' They exhale a deli
cate apricot-like fragrance.

GERMAN PRESS
CONTINUES TO
BELlITLE THE
AMERICAN MEN
Correspondents do Not Be-
lieve There are 100000
Sar1l1nies in France.

Amsterdam, July 15.-The German
press continues its campaign Of be-
littling the American, military effort
on the western front.
The military correspondent Of the
Lokal Anzeiger keeps step with the
other experts and expresses disbelief
in the. statement that more than
100000 American soldiers are in
France. However, he confesses to
great admiration for the personal
qualities of the American soldier, al
though he considers that they lack
discipline saying:
''They are smart fellows. but only
when they like to be-
American human material equals the
English, yet the American army will
be inferior because the Americans
will not have leaders possessing the
requisite experience for handling big
armies"
General Kolbe, the military critic
Of the Germapia, says that at the most
there are 100000 Americans, ,includ-
ing working squads, at the front, and
proceeds:
1.-THE significance Of Americas ac-
ton should in no wise be under-rate.l
nor does our chief command under
rate it, but we should guard against
over-rating 1t for no other reason
than that transportation must be
made increasingly difficult by the u
boats: also in view Of the problems Of
equipment and commissariat, which
are easily solvable on paper, but not
in reality Therefore the Americans
can bring about no change in favor OF
our opponents in the immediate fu-
ture."
