Another Spring Song.

The time is here, or close at hand,
when in our garden plot We'll. stand
and SOW the seeds of tOOthsOme sass
to make high cost of living pass. A
radish row behind the shed; in front
of it a lettuce bed, with beets and
turnips in between, and sticks to coax
the climbing bean. The humble gumbo
here will thrive, if but we keep its
roots alive with rubber hose and
sprinkling pot when summer days are
dry and hot.
Well gladly rise at early dawn to
see how spuds are getting on and
WELD ready rake and hoe to make
the blushing carrots grow, while not
neglecting as we toll to pulverize the
fruitful soil. Well wait until the corn
is here and gently lead it by the ear
into the way that it should go, so
straight and martial in a row.
A morning serenade we'll sing to
greet the onion of the spring, and
zealously we'll turn the sod that peas
may fatten in the pod; we'll stake the
green tomato plants that each and all
may have chance and cabbage all the
ground that's left for cabbage heads of
goodly heft, and when our garden
sass is picked the Hun will be as good
as licked.-St. Louis Post Dispatch

Manuscripts That Last

In ancient times the Hindoo priests
of Java wrote on leaves of the lontar
palm. Lontar palm leaves, after be-
ing soaked in water two weeks, then
carefully dried, may be used as parch-

they will not decay for centuries.

1t has been pointed out as evidence Of
bow strongly the duty OF saving had been
impressed upon the English people by tho
warssavings Campaign in that country that
In the year a916, although purchasing
billions of dollars Of war bonds, the small
savings-bank depositors in England in
creased their deposits in savings banks
over $780, 0 000. this in face Of the fact
that the English have been noted as a
spending rather than as a saving people.
1t seems that a similar process has
taken place in America. Two great Lib.
erty Loans were floated in the year just
closing, and nearly $6,0 00, 0O0, 900 Of Lib
erty Loan Bonds were purchased by the
people, Yet instead Of being depleted the
savings deposits of the country nave been
increased. The president of one of the
large New York savings banks Is quoted
as saying on December 20. 1917:
"One of the most remarkable things
about the Liberty Loan campaigns is the
small effect they have had on the savings
banks accounts, which show an increase.
This we lay to the appeals made to the
American people to purchase the bonds
out Of their earnings, paying for them
from week to week or from month to
month. The people appear to be doing as
they have been urged, purchasing the
bonds from current savings"

Why Germany Will Lose

Two great advantages nave been on
che side Of German strategy--interios
lines and complete unification Of com.
mand. From a military standpoint Ger
many absolutely dominates her so-called
allies. The Austrian. Bulgarian and Turk.
lsh armies are directed from Berlin with
authority almost as absolute as that exer-
cised over the German armies. No change
the Allies can max would alter Ger.
many's advantage of interior lines. Would
a supreme generalissimo be able to ef.
lect an efficient unification OF the Allies
strategy? It is not easy to say, and opin-
lon in the Allied countries is more divided
over this question than any other regard,
Ing the conduct OF the war says a writer
Leslie's.
1t must be remembered that the I'm
tente Allies and the United States form a
OF free nations as opposed to
Germany and her ~vassals, who are indie,
pendent only in name. The states now
Fighting under German leadership are no
more free than the states which more or
less unwillingly aided Napoleon against
the European coalition of that day And
Napoleon was able to take advantage of
the mutual jealousies Of his allied enc
mics and to exploit the weakness of his
quite as effectively as the German
Hohenzckerns are now doing, Indeed. the
German bid for world,power and the Ma
adventure have much in com
mon. Ant Germany seems certain to fail
for much the same reasons Napoleon
failed-in spite Of the similar advantages
Of a single unified command. in spite OF
great strategic successes and ia
spite of a similarly marvellous military
organization. The Allies will probably
