Most vegetables now used as food were at one time
mere weeds. The potato is a remarkable example of the
possibility Of one branch of a family Of useless or poison
GUS weeds being not only edible buc one Of the important
the nightshade family of which thelc are more than 1000
varieties and of which the potato and the egg plant are
the only two edible varieties. Most of the others are
weeds and many of them poisonous. Some are orna-
mental, and one variety is the horse nettle whose name
suggests its kind. Nightshade, bittersweet and henbane
are some of the varieties. The field for research and
improvement among vegetation in which Luther Bur-
bank has won such fame, is certainly one of the largest
end least explored of any that remain for the mind of
man to develop and make serviceable to man.

THE 1MOVIED OF THE FUTURE

How far the movie pictures may 60 before something
else takes their place, or they are so improved as to make
them practically like the old theatrical plays, requiring
real acting, no one can foresee; but that this will happen
is as certain as that the movie with its ~cheapness made
things required to give reality to the pictures is some
thing that will remove the quivering and reduce the action
to something not so much on the humming bird style Of
movement. The movie of today is too abrupt, to jerky,
too sudden in movements. These are its two worst
features, but sometime they will be overcome. Then
again it is quite possible, perhaps probable, that before
many years the photograph will be made to work in con-
n~ection with the pictures and SO the audience will have
not only the pictured scene, but will also hear the story
as told by real actors and actresses. When this time
comes it will put the movies on an entihely new pane, and
it will cut out a lot Of butterfly movie actresses and actors.

The Telegram and some other papers advocating the re-
election of Governor Withycombe say the boys "Ovel
There" have asked that he be reelected, because of his
patriotism" Perhaps some of the boys in the army have
expressed a preference for Withycombe for governor, but
it is a certainty that but few of them have done so and
also a certainty that nine-tenths of the boys have ex-
pressed no preference at all. The claim is an insinuation
that the other candidates are lacking in patriotism. What
ever else may be said of the other five republican candi-
dates no one will question their patriotism or place it on
a lower level than that of the governor. 1t is a dirty trick
to try to wiring the boys into an election campaign when
they are not in a position to correct any mis-statement
made regarding their attitude.

it more difficult for the British to

FOch Saves Reserves for Critical
Moment
With the French Army in France,
April q ,(Saturday)-The stern op-
position encountered by the Germans
in their attacks in the region of the
Somme and in Flanders, near KENNEL
hill, has prevented them thus far
from developing their renewed Of
fensive on the great scale which they
undoubtedly intended. Each of their
attacks may be regarded as an ef
fort to prepare the way for more
extended action in the event of an i'm
portant initial success at either point,
but the resistance offered at both
places apparently discouraged the
German commanders from launching
more serious attempts to break
through.
In Picardy where the Germans at
tempted to divide the French from
the British around villers-B -Bretonneux
and Hangard, the line remained today
very much the same as it was before
the attack was begun three days ago.
There has been no resumption of
infantry fighting since last night. The
only result of the Germans onslaught,
in which they utilized eight divisions,
is the loss of large number of men,
without any advance and certainly
without obtaining jumping off place
for the hoped for real attack they had
planned to make If successful. The
Allied commander in chief, decided
when the Germans occupied Villers-
Bretonneux and Hangard, that their
continued possession by the enemy
would endanger the security of the
line in front Of Amiens, and immed-
lately sent forces with orders to re-
capture them. The attacks at these
points we're executed with the great
est courage and success.
Further north, where the Germans
gained KENNEL Hill by the employ
ment of nine divisions, the Allied
commander in chief regarded II as
unnecessary to make the sacrifices
which would have been entailed in
regalning the lost territory since II
is not essential to maintenance Of the
Allied positions. In this way, the
Allied reserves are spared intact for
future use. Meanwhile, the Germans
are using up large numbers of their
electives without obtaining the Inn

There is confidence among the Allies
In the ability to hold the Germans
