12 to 25 inches wide and IS to 24 inches long. A store box of convent ent size may be sawed lengthwise of sides and ocross the ends or 4 inches above the bottom and thus make good window box.
 Filling Box With Soil and Planting
 Seeds.
 When the box is completed, cover the bottom about an inch deep with gravel or fine ciRders and fill nearly full with rich soil full of decayed vegetable matter or of manure like that used in potting house plants or greenhouse plants. Most gardeners have a compost pilel which will furnish the kind of soil needed The rich soil beneath the family wood pile or around decaying logs is splendid for this pur- pose.
 Press the soil down firmly nthe box with a small piece of board, then with a thin strip, such as a cheap ruler, make rows crossways 2 inches apart by pressing the edge down N to E inch.

of the club of Larry Lajoie. Just now speculation is ripe as to where Lajoie will play, but it is almost a foregone conclusion he will hold down second base. unless Jake Daubert should be unable to patrol first.
 Every player in the Robbins camp realize what it means to have such an eminent slugger as Lajoie on the team, and are all seeing visions of another pennant. With such swatters as Lajoie. Daubert, Wheat and Myers, the Robbins certainly should fare far bet ter than in the campaign of 1917. Tai oie will insert just the necessary amount of dynamite, of punch, in the batting order to keep the Dodgers defensive in motion.
 Reports that Lajoie would succeed Daubert as field captain have been de- nied by officials of the club. Daubert will remain in charge of the team on the field, but it is safe to say that Lajoie will be one of his chief lieu tenants. If Lajoie should play second base, the infield. besides him, would embrace Daubert at first.

 If piece of glass is placed over the box it will keep in the moisture and warmth and thus hasten gernina- tion and cause rapid growth of the plants. Enough water must be given as required to keep the plants grow ing thriftily.
 Set the box in any warm place until the seeds begin to sprout, then place it in the sunshine by window.
 Take Out Surplus Plants.
 When the plants are from an inch to an inch and a half high they should be thinned to or inches apart in the row so as to give them space enough to make a strong, stocky growth. If it is desired to keep the plants which are thinned out, they may be set inches apart each way, in other boxes prepared as mentioned for the seed box. When the weather becomes mild the box of plants should be set out of doors part of the time during the day so that the plants will "harden off, in preparation for trans planting to. the garden later A good watering. should be given just before the plants are taken out of the box for transplanting so that large ball of earth will stick to the roots of each one.

By using seed box or window box in which to star plants of cabbage, caulifiower, tomatoes. peppers, egg plant. celery, and perhaps even lettuce, the home gardener may get these crops into edible maturity several weeks earlier than if he waits to plalnt the seed out of doors.
 Making the Window Box.
 It is very simple matter to make a window box by mailing together the narrow sides and ends and then nail- ing the bottom onto these. The boards or strips used should be light in weight about one-half inch thick, about 4 inches wide for sides and ends, and any width available for the bottom. The window box should be of such size as to be easily handled. perhaps

Good Advice.

The Council of Defense had q no
tice in last evenings Journal asking
those who had proof of seditious or
disloyal talk to report same to the
secretary, c.. j. TeSelle. This does
not mean mere idle rumor regarding
people, It means that if you have
some evidence bring it in. Stories
have been circulated regarding GER
tain people that have done untold
damage to them, because of idle talk.
They were accused of various dislOyal
acts and in fact federal officer spent
several days here making investiga-
tion of these rumors, and he found
them to be absolutely unfounded. Be-
cause of the fact that person is born
of German parentage or he himself
came from Germany does not place
him under suspicion, SO our people
should be more careful about making
statements regarding people and bring
them into disrepute and make life
unpleasant for them when there is no
occasion for it. Over enthusiasm in
patriotic service combined with Idle
gossip may do serious harm to inno
cent people and that should be guard
ed against.

some gallant deed of daring,
Let her proudly share the glory of the

Not by rigid blanks and dashes can
we keek the home fires burning.
Though three thousand miles divide
Us, it is there our hearts are
turning;
Guard your army secrets closely, but
when there bit of glory
That would strengthen us for service
let the name come with the story

Notice.
Owners of Motor Vehicles.

Villas County receives in 1918 in
round numbers s26, 600 90 for it's share
of the monies appropriated for Fed
eral Aid Trunk Line highway The
major portion of this amount is de-
rived from the motor vehicle license.
1t therefore behooves the Sheriff of
Villas County and his deputies in con-
junction with the Sec'y of State and
the local authorities to see that there
are no ''slackers.''
All are therefore warned to procure
license before attempting to operate
on the highways. Number plates
should be properly displayed on the
front and real of vehicles at all times
and MUST BE KEPT CLEAN so can
be distinguished. Keep your tail lights
burning at night SO numbers are dis
cernible and also preventrear end col
lisions. If you have two cars don't
put number plate on the front of
one and the same number on the rear.
of another. 1t is dangerous and will
cost you more than the license for two
cars. License numbers are not inter
changeable except of authority of the
Sec'y of State.
Be careful at all times to observe
the rules of the road. Never pass an
other vehicle at create speed than 10
miles per hour. Travel with pleasure
and comfort but always have little
regard for the rights of others. Re-
member that the highways cost money
and were not built especially for
sschOrcherso but are for the use and
comfort of all the people. Help pre-
serve them. Don't try to burn them
up you may want to use them again
Read carefully the AUTOMOBILE
LAWS which will be furnished you
by the Sec'y. of State. Post yourself
and get wise and the Sheriff and his
deputies will not have to call your
personal attention to the matter later
which might be expensive.
Respectfully,

FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1913.

Governor Phillip announces
that he will not call a special
election to fill the vacancy in
the 18th Congressional District
unless requested by the voters.
While we were very anxious for
the special senatorial election to
be held, mainly for finding out
where the state stood in regard
to the issue of loyalty that hao
been raised, there does not seem
to be any pressing necessity for
holding an election to elect a
congressman to represent the
district for about six months.
Judging from the past election
returns, the chances for a Den1-
aocratic candidate whenever the
election is held, does not look
very promising. and as several
Republican papers have offered
suggestions of suitable congress
sional timoer, wen waive DEM
ocracy and propose Judge Alex
FL. Reid, of Wausau, as a very
desirable successor to |. L. Len
root, late representative of the
18th District.
