Save Garden seed
zk41ksezeseIeS ~

Every boy and girl who has had
garden this season should, whenever
possible, save seed for next years
planting. In many cases 1t Is possible
to gather beans and peas that have be-
come too old for eating. thus assuring
supply Of good seed for next years
planting. Asa rule. with limited gar
den areas 1t will not pay to grow beans.
peas, sweet corn and other vegetables
for the production of seed. but when
surplus Is allowed to become too old
for eating 1t does pay to save this sur
plus for seed. Sufficient tomato,
squash, melon, cucumber. and corn
seed may be saved from the product Of
almost any garden provided little
attention is given the matter.
Seed should be saved only from
strong, healthy plants. In the case Of
beans, peas, and sweet corn. the seed
should be allowed to ripen on the
plant. In the case of such plants as
tomatoes, cucumbers. etc, the fruits
from which the seed Is to be saved
should be well ripened. Remove the
seed and spread 1t out to dry. All
seed must be thoroughly dry before
being stored. Garden seeds must be
kept in a vermin-proof, well-ventilated
receptacle. A tin bread box is ideal,
as it supplies the proper amount OF
ventilation and mice cannot destroy
the contents. Care should be taken to
label every package of seed to avoid
confusion at planting time. Keep the
seed box in q dry, well-ventilated
room, such as room on the second
floor Of the dwelling.

sunken types Of house. and under some
circumstances they VIII be preferred
to the other type.
The length Of time ice may be kept
depends upon the character of insula-
ton provided. This will naturally
vary with the location Of the Ice house
and the method of construction. An
other important factor will be the cost
of construction.
The simplest type Of ice preserva-
tiOn consists in stacking the cakes in
a compact mass on a well-drained'site,
as well protected as possible by nat
ural or artificial barriers from sun and
wind. and covering the mass with saw
dust, shavings, fodder, marsh hay. or
any other good insulating material.
Such a crude method Is not to be rec
commended except rs temporary
makeshift for Ice which Is to be used
early In the season.

Loyalty to the United States un-

fed yesterday. Mr.. Ohlinger, who is

You differentiate between Germans

Absolutely responded Ohlinger,
The mass of the German-Americans

one moment cast a slur upon them. "
Quotes speech.
One of the pieces OF evidence he
offered was a Quotation from Will
lam lie Quex's book, German Spies

purported to be an excerpt from a
speech made by the Kaiser at a secret
conference at Potsdam, June, 1905. The
"If a man ever was worthy of a
high decoration at my hands 1t was
Herr DIR. Hexamer. the president of

Justly be termed to be by my grace

DR.. Hexamer is the former presi-
dent of the alliance. Upon him the
Kaiser conferred the Red Eagle, &C
cording to Nj. Ohlinger. because DR..
Hexamer advanced "Kultur" IN the
United States.
The paragraph from the Kaiser's
"secret" speech which precede the one
just given, read:

LITTLE MISS ASHLEY
HEADING MOVEMENT
Pleads with Capital Residents to
Furnish Soldiers Books.

Miss Rachel Ashley, the 12-year-
old daughter OF Frederick w. Ash
ley, superintendent of the reading
room at the Library of Congress,
has taken the lead in a movement
among the schoolgirls of Wash
ington that promises excellent re-
suits in the collection of books for
soldiers and sailors.
Her system contemplates a house
to house canvass for the purpose
intended by all the schoolgirls, and
1t will be part of a nationwide
book drive to be conducted by the
American Library Association War
Service in behalf of soldiers and
sailors at home and abroad.
Little Miss Ashley started out
last Saturday and her first days
efforts produced 12l volumes. She
was equipped with a four-page leaf
let of the A. l. A. telling what the
drive is for, and typewritten slips
reading: Il shall be glad to call
for any books that you may wish to
give to the soldiers and sailors
through the American Library As
sociation.
Also she had child's express
wagon in which to carry what books
might be received. 1t was filed
quickly and she was compelled to
go home and unload.
Other children will be started out
shortly by the District Library As
sociation and by local churches.
The American Library AssOcia-
tion now is serving 262 camps, in
cluding 159 army camps and l23
camps and stations. 1t has its own
library buildings in all the larger
camps. Books may also be turned in
at public libraries or at the Lii
brary of Congress. T he 4. l. A..
