was the Premier's tribute to the
valor and spirit of the American
troops:
Il recently had the privilege OF
observing the quality of the United

idly toward the fighting line. They
are of magnificent physique and fine
spirit and are strong in the deter

fought in vain.

of the United States as a whole. The

ter commonwealth will be able to
exert in this struggle is not yet full

Cultivate Your Garden EarIy.

The war gardener is thus advised in

ut is impossible to emphasize too
strongly the Importance of doing
promptly the things that need to be

seedlings show themselves as thin
lines of green across the brown earth.
for example. cultivation should start
Indeed, the only reason for waiting
this long is to be sure of just where
they are, and so not injuring them.
so do not begin by noticing today
that the Vegetables are up, and saying
tomorrow l must cultivate:' but go
at ance and get the cultivator and do
1t now! Never mind if it is only one
row of lettuce: work along this and
put the implement away, for you can
never expect to do in the same length
of time tomorrow the thing that needs
doing today in the garden. Every day

will be too late to do 1t at all, if you

been the absence of proper termi-

back has been the lack of sufficient
tugs and barges. The concrete tug

When the 5000 deadweIght-ton con-
crete ship Faith" launched at San
Francisco, raced on its trial trip in
San Francisco Bay. exceeding its esti-
mated speed of nine knots, a new
era in the science OF shipbuilding
came in. The Faith fully justified
its name. Although Its steam pres
sure on the trial trip was 20 pounds
below the required amount, the
Faith" attained a speed of 1O1s knots
an hour. But nearly a month before
this trial trip, the United States Ship
ping Board had already shown ITS
faith in the practically of the con-
crete ship when its chairman, Ed
ward n. Hurley, asked for an appro-
priation Of $50.O0o,O0o with which to
build concrete ships. Mr.. Hurley was,
in fact, the original advocate Of the

AL that is needed for concrete ship
construction Is a plant made up Of
concrete mixers, hoists and other
plain equipment, which is obtainable
in any large city. Such a plant can
be rapidly put together and in steady
working order. Ways similar to those
used for wood and steel ships must,
however. be provided. On the other
hand, steel ships cannot be built
without first providing an elaborate
plant costing several hundred thou
