PLAN SPRING GARDEN NOW
Agricultural Department Says There
VIII ss Need for Large Pro-
ductlon In 1918.

Washington.-Take thought Of the
spring garden now.
Notwithstanding the large produc.
tion Of vegetables last year and the
great volume put into cans and lars
for winter use, there Is nothing to in
dIcate that there will not be equal
need for production and conservation
In 101S. says the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
Many gardens failed last year be-
cause Of poor soil or poor preparation
or both.
This Is the timeNi many sections
to break and to fertilixe. Then in
the spring It win be easier to make
the seedbed and the soil win contain
plant food.
For the average householder II win
be sufficient to prepare ground enough
to produce the home supply for eat
Ing In the fresh state and for can
ming. drying or bsining for use during
the following winter Producing veg
etables for market should not be un-
dertaken without full knowledge Of
horticulture and sufiicient capital and

DOGS DETECT FOOD HOARDERS
German Police Unable to Cope With
the Situation Until CANNES
Were Pressed Into Service.

The prospects Of famine In Germany
are 80 serious that food boarding Is
growing among the wealthy to an ex.
tent that has given the government no
end Of trouble. The German police
have exhausted every means of detect
ing the hoarders except one, and that
is to use highly trained police dogs on
their trail.
This is now being done, and the
dogs are proving themselves invalu-
able in running down violators Of the
food laws. Near Berlin, according to
a correspondent, the dogs recently To-
Gated a man who had been pllfering
from vegetable patches of truck gar.
deners. The dogs led the police to
the house where the stolen vegetables
were hidden.
In Munich constable attempted to
seize a man caught with 80 pounds Of
meat brought from On Illegal slaugh-
ter house. The man escaped. leaving
the burden behind, but was tracked
to hay loft by police dogs. When
the officer returned to the spot where
the meat had been left he found the
meat gone. The police dogs were
again called upon and they located the
meat In house where 1t had been
hidden BY q woman.

Says Price is Arbitrary and Should be Arbitrarily Advanced by Allied
 Peoples.
WOULD AID IN THE WAR
Allies Control 91 Per Cent. of Gold and Could Easily
 and ProfitabIy h.
 crease It's Value.

B. l.. Thane, Managing Director 1 of the Alaska Gold Mining Com ! pany, has prepared an argument in | favor of raising the price of gold, and he shows clearly that the idea is being advanced also in Great l Britain. Mr Thane contends that | unless this is done there will be a
 reduction in the output of gold, that
 the ratio between the gold supply, the basis of credits, and the credits
 that are being so rapidly inflated throughout the world, will cease to be such as to give degree of stability
 that is necessary for the transaction
 of business.
 Mir. Thane shows that the arbi-
 trary increase of the price of gold ! would not only not be impossible, but that it would not be radical or difficult proceeding. The price of gold as it is now fixed was an ar bitrary act, an act of the Bank of
 England. He shows that the Allies
 now control 91 per cent. of the gold production of the world, and that
 most of the gold is in the hands of the. Governments, and the rest of it could be so secured With that
 accomplished, the rest would be easy.
 Mir. Thane. also shows that the in crease of the price of gold would be a master stroke .as a war policy for the Allies, and would be fair as be- tween them and other countries in the readjustment that will follow the war. At the present time the Allies are paying gold for goods that are purchased in the neutral coun- tries for use in the prosecution of the war and getting for the gold less than the cost of it's production. He shows. also, that by keeping wa ges down and the cost of commodi- ties at low figure, Germany is
 preparing to produce so much cheap CT after the war than the Allies. where wages and commodities have advanced to such high prices. can produce, that she will be able to drain the other countries of their gold unless we force the situation by arbitrarily raising the price of gold, This is made possible. as said. be- cause the Allies control over 90 per cent. of the gold to one per cent. by Germany and her allies and some thing like eight per cent. controlled by the neutral nations.
 MT. Thane fortifies his argument by much data and expert opinion. He concludes his argument as fol lows:
 While this idea and suggestion at first sight may seem radical. 1t is interesting to note Gas shown in Appendix attaehedD that the entire gold producing industry of the Brit ish Empire called meeting for this identical purpose on July 4th and appointed committee of six to immediately bring this situation to the attention of the British Gov ernment.

things faddish, and the absurd falsi-

his shaft against elderly kittenhood,"
the whole species climber, the com
