The Antelope Independent, posing

We had hoped, in vain it seems,
that the above paper would cooperate
W1th US in putting the League over
tnetop in this county at the coming

policy of a paper that was an "honest
81 Zoo" Nonpartisan supporter. Such
Taper would not be trying divide
Ietranks of the League by creating
etlssention among the members. We
expect this from our League enemies

would not do it.

Attorney General Ford promptly
interfered. He not only served notice
on all peace officers of the state that
meetiI gs Of the League were not te
be stopped and it's representatives
mobbed, but he announced he would
investigate and bring prosecutions If
the evidence warranted, against per-
sons at Columbus and Big Timber re-
sponsible for the lawlessness at those
places.
Mr.. Ford has not taken any posi-
ton favorable to theLeague. He has
merely announced the enforcement of
the law. He says the Leagues meet
lngs can not lawfully be stopped. He
adds, however, and very properly,
that League speakers will be held re-
sponsible for what they say and Lea
que or other speakers who violate the
law against disloyalty at public meet
lngs will be prosecuted. AS League
speakers say nothing disioyaI, the lat

Publishing Company was originally
Incorporated by the socialists and con-
sequently most all of the board Of

time ago it was decided to make a
Nonpartisan League paper out of the

Most if not all of the socialist have
joined the League. However the
good faith Of the paper has been
questioned by the enemies of the
League in order to stir up strife and
because it was thot to be no more
than fair to the meny old party mem
oers of the League and stockholders
in the company, that they should
have representation on the Board o.
directors. So in the interest of har
1ony End to get every interestes
lenber to wording together for the

EXPERT ADVICE TO THE
 SPRING GARDENER

Just a work of precaution to back is cool and windy as it has been and the plants are rather slow growing, it is a great temptation to try and hurry things along, hence the thought at once, they need water and soon the cold water can be seen spraying over an already cold soil.
 The results are worse than before; the plants become weakened and shallow rooted; the soil hard and com pact; the first hot day the plants look wilted and shrivelled up. One won- ders what can be the matter. A little more cold tap water is passed out to them; they recover, but the afternoon of the next day they are wilted again; the process is repeated and so on. Weeks later the plants are tall and slender, the roots are all near the sur face; if cabbage the heads are high up on stems; if potatoes, they are all vines and no potatoes.
 As long as it keeps chilly and the soil cold as it has been, it is next to impossible for plants to grow rapidly Keep the water ooff until you abso- lutely have to irrigate your garden but remember this-the hoe is for a dual purpose, to kill the weeds and to loosen the soil. Use it plenty. Keer the soil loose and a good mulch on top.
 This will be the success: The roots will be deep and well rooted; the plants lower and spreading; more wig orous and better color. These are all characteristics of healthy plants.
 When irrigation is begun it must be kept up regularly but not too often do not over water. Better use the hoe more and save part of the water bill.
 Such as radishes and lettuce must be kept quite damp the latter half of their growth to keep them tender.
 Now a word to lawn growers: Many have already used great deal of water; this has been done in some cases too early. Give your lawns a good supply of well routed manure, using your garden rake to rake it back and forth until it gets well down about the roots. This is best if ap- piled during the winter months.
 Lawn growers will find wonderful improvement in a very short time and be surprised how much less water it takes, especially in cool weather. There is but very little vegetation in most of our soils in this county and they have got to have humus to hold moisture.

 County Agent.

MANY WOMEN NEED-
 ED FOR WAR WORK

More and more, as the war pro- gram progresses, is the government depending upon women to perform the tremendously increased volume of work in the civil branches. The force of civilian employees in Washington, D. C., increased from 30,0O0 to ap- proximately 10000 during the first year of our participation in the war. Of this increase of 10000 more than 5000 are women. Women make up the increase in government offices and establishments outside of Washington in less proportion, for the reason that the greatest expansion in the field has been in the large manufacturing plants of the war and navy depart ments, where thousands of mechanics and laborers are employed in ship building and in manufacturing ord nance and other war material. Wom- en are not available for employment in trades positions to any great ex- tent, but their services are being uti- lized in every way that is practicable.
 The United States civil service com- mission is calling for women for government work of not less than sixty different kinds. The list includ- es stenographers, typists, bookkeep- CTS, other clerks of score or more of classifcations which require train- ing in some special or technical liDe, statisticians, operators of various kinds of calculating, addressing and duplicating machines; proof readers, law clerks, welfare executive secretar- ies, draftsmen of a dozen kinds, tele- graph and telephone operators, train ed nurses, chemists, physicists, library assistants, inspectors of undergar- ments, fingerprint classifers, and many others.
 The commission urges women to of- fer their services to the government at this time of great need. As men are called to the colors, women must take their places and keep the ma chinery behind the armed forces nov ing at the maximum of efficiency. Representatives of the civil service commission at the post offices in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information and ap- plication blanks.

Wherever there is destruction of property, thrift must replace it. Waste is waste, and cannot be recov- cred. Thrift alone can build up what war tears down. Whatever of good can be gleaned from a disaster, it is the duty of everyone to glean. Thrift is this thing, and can best be cultivat- ed by taking advantage of the govern ment's War Savings plan.
