SET OUT 4 STRAWBERRY BED

No farm ought to be without it's
quota of small fruits and brambles.
The strawberry bed can be set out in
August and will make pretty good
growth yet this fall While do not
prefer the late summer setting, yet
on farms where no bed has been set
out at all the sooner one is started the
better. Get good plants that were pro-
duced last spring and it is much pro-
terabie from number of standpoints
to secure these plants from a neigh
Dor than to get them from too long a
distance, especially ith tardy trans
portation.

He Was n Good Citizen.

Most kindly are the comments of all
the Philadelphia papers on the death oi
ex-Alayor Rudolph Blankenburg Of that
city, which occurred last Friday even-
ing They pay high tribute to him as q
citizen and a faithful, efficient public
official.
Mr. Blankenhurg, after serving as
county commissioner for four years, and
refusing To accept salary, was elected
mayor, after most interesting cam
paign. over such Il thoroughly good
candidate as George H. Earle. His adj
ministration was marked by the most
energetic efforts on his part for AN up
lifting Of the public service, and especially
for honesty and efficiency. II was a
thoroughly good administration, and II is
most surprising that after such an object
lesson the people of Philadelphia de
liherately voted for a return TO corrupt
and inefficient machine rule.
Mr. Bankenburg was born in Germany,
and was young man when he came to
this country. where he prospered in
business But he was thoroughly good
citizen, and after the breaking out of the
Great War left no doubt in the minds OF
his fellow-citizcns that his sympathies'
and his support were unreservedly on the
side Of his adopted country.

More German Brutality.

IN official report by n committee of the
British government shows that both
British and French prisoners are treated
with much brutality by the Germans
They have been employed constantly

have fallen victims 10 the guns of their
friends They have been kicked and
beaten proper clothing and adequate
shelter have been denied them; many of
them have been shot and many others not
allowed o sufficient quantity Of food.
German brutality has shone forth
most conspicuously throughout this ter
rible war The rape Of Belgium. tho
sacking oi Louvain. the wanton de-
struction OF the I.usitania, the cruel
devastation Of the country. the poisoning
of wells. and various other forms of
deviltry were resorted tcrby the German
