An American Propaganda

We have heard much Of a German
pEopaganea in this country, but we
have been looking for evidences Of it
in spectacular things-in explosions,
fires and other deeds Of violence. The
statement OF Attorney General Gregory
the other day made it clear that little
il any hostile work Of such character
is being done or attempted. There
may be efforts to destroy military works
munition factories or supply depots,
but such places are nov well guarded
by the secret service and other forces
and spies or traitors are not likely to
accomplish serious damage in such
ways. The gravest danger is Of a
more insidious kind. The German
propaganda brought Russia to ruin,
but not by internal violence. It great.
ly weakened Italy at a critical time,
but not by deeds Of destruction. Il
seeks ratheI to influence public opinion
to create opposition IS war and va
measures, and, particularly, 10 disturb
the industrial processes Of construction
that are essential 10 war. This is no
usually done through Germans bu
through other naiionalities whose III
terror purposes are not so likely to be
suspected. Their agents are men, o
women OF the purest American ancestr7
and they may be, in many cases, Ut
terly unconcious that they are German
agents.
To countsract these hidden and sin
ister influences, more sinister whel
most concealed, We need an American
propaganda in this country, a propa
ganda that will bring every individua
American into the service Of the couu
try for the support Of the war and a
that contributes to The prosecution {
the war We need especially propa
ganda that will enlist the aid Of ever
workmcd, every artisan, who is engage
in constructive work Of any characte
, that is contributive to the means

The Accounting

when the boys come back" said
Mr. Samuel Gompers some time ago,
Labor will have to defend its acts"
Aud that is perfectly true, II there
is loyalty on the part Of the men who
serve the colors they will naturally ex-
pect loyalty on the part Of those, their
fellow workmen Of the other days, who
have remained at home. War is no
longer a thing apart from the mass oI
the people, a thing carried on solely
by armed men. 1t is an affair which
touches industry in all its branches,
and which calls vast numbers Of men
TO special labors in the factory. The
men at the front have no chance what
ever Of success unless the work in these
factories al home is done faithfully and
continuously.
Naturally men who teink Of the
money they are to get as the first con
sideralon and the service Of the county
as a secondary matter will have 10 an
swer lol themselves in the days to
come. Men who think strike as
legitimate now as in times Of peace will
have some awkward questions put to
them. Men who are rot doing theii
best to turn out the best possible pro.
duct in the largest possible quantities.
will not be comfortable when they face
the men who have suffered because O
heir slacknesS. There will certainly
be an accounting when the boys come

man knows il well. Gloucester Times

While engaged in the war Germany
is carrying on little sideline Of hel
own in the matter Of initiating Ameri'
can safety razor blades and selling them
to Scandinavia. The L. S. Vice Con-
sui at Chrstiana reports that some Of
the counterftted razors and razor
blades have been exported 10 Scandi-
navia and are TO be purchased in many
Of the stores which had before sold
American razors only" That is a
little sample Of what Germany can do
with the advantage which she holds in
the matter Of low wages to her work
men, even iD war time. Some time
ago it was discovered that a firm in
New Britain Conn, engaged in the
manufacture Of safety razor blades and
handles, had found it more profitable
10 buy blades made in Japan and ship
ped to them under the democratic
tarifi laws, putting the blades in do
mestic handles, and offering them tc
the market. Naturally, the fellow
formerly employed 10 make those blade

The German drive having been
hated at the Name once more, re-
viving the tragic memories Of French
heroism in 1914, some paciist souls
in this country are taking on a false
courage and are beginning cautiously
to preach again the doctrine OF German
deterioration in man power and war
material. OF course, the war may end
through German weakness. 1t is more
likely to end through Allied force.
The thing for Americans 10 think Of is
aot how much nor how soon will the
Germans be worn down but how soon
and how powerfully VIC shall be able to
crush them.

SAVING LEAVES.

"A few years ago not a single agricM-
tural or horticultural publication had
h word to say regarding the value of
leaves and the advisability of gather
ing and storing them in the autumn,
to be turned under in the garden in
The spring.
THE Sun advocated the idea strongly
years ago, and has kept at 1t ever
since. Now the agricultural and hor-
ticultural publications, 1t is a salts
faction to notice, have awakened to
the importance of saving the valuable
crop Of leaves, formerly wasted year
after year, and have taken up the cry
THE Sun alone started. to gather and
store this valuable crop of fertilizer
over winter where decay will progress,
giving good rich leaf mould next
spring.
Spread hydrated lime over the soil,
either before or after'the leaves are
turned under, to prevent the soil be-
coming acid. A little commercial fer
tilizer or prepared sheep manure used
as the crop starts will give fine results
in either the flower or vegetable gar
den.
A few years of this treatment will
result in building up a remarkably
rich garden soil that will produce
luxurious crops.

from its own weight the place where It
grew on the twig is marked by a scar.
Although the food which has been
prepared in the cell cavities Is sent
back to the tree, the mineral sub
stances with which the walls Of the
cells have become impregnated during
the summer months are retained. Ac-
cordlngly, when" the leaves fall they
contain relatively large amounAs Of
valuable elements. such as nitrogen
and phosphorus. which were originally
a part of the soil. The decomposition
Of the leaves results in enriching the
top layers Of the soil by returning
these elements and by the accumu-
lation Of humus. That Is why the mel
low black earth from the forest floor
is SO fertile. But II fires are allowed
to run through the forest and the
leaves are burned the most valuable
OF the fertilizing elements are changed
by the heat into gases and escape into
the air. AS result. forests which are
burned over regularly soon lose their
son fertility, even II no apparent dam
age is done to the standing timber"

son. Gather the old potato vines and
burn them.
Peas and beans are leguminous
plants, able naturally TO feed on the
free nitrogen of the air, therefore
ferttlizins with heterogeneous fertilizers,
such as nitrate OF soda or sulphate
or ammonia, is unnecessary, but ma
nure, supplying humus and assisting
in retention of moisture, cannot be
omitted, as moisture Is indispensa BILE
TO peas in dry weather. Dccayed
leaves can also be used in as large
quantities as possible with good re-
suits. .
Here Is the part of the operation
that most gardeners will balk at. They
will reason that they will do less work
and not have quite such good results
Trench the ground three feet deep,
keeping the top soil on top and the
bottom soil on the bottom, as so often
explained. Mix manure and decayed
1eaves with the soil as thlckIy as pos
sible way to the bottom of the trench
In England where the summers are
moist trenching three feet deep Is done
by all the best gardeners for peas.
In America, where our summers are
SO hot and dry, it is all the more
necessary Besides. our gardeners
have no conception of what rich soil
three feet deep will produce.
The trenchlng if done now will get
the soil in good shape for sowing the
seed next spring.
Basic Stag is good artificial ma
nure for peas and beans. applied lib
orally on the surface and worked in

.DAHLIAS.

Before the dahlias were through
Towering they should have been care
fully labelled As soon as the plants
are killed by the frost they should
be cut down and the tubers dug. Leave
about six inches of stem and firmly
attach the label to this so II cannot
come OFF. A good, dry cellar. with
cement or earthen bottom will keep
them through the winter. but it must
be frost proof and not too near a
heater.
The tubers can be placed closely to-
gether and covered with soil. Examine
occasionally to see that the tubers
are not drying UP. Ifthey show signs
Of becoming shrivelled cover the soil
with paper and then sprinkle the
paper with water and the soil will alb
serb the moisture.
