Our LoUed Land
By H. Perelra Mendes,


BY H. Pereira Mendes.
God bless our loved land
Firm may she ever stand
Through storm and night
When tempests roar and rave,
Mid perils dark and grave
Do thou our country save
BY Thy great might
For her our prayers shall rise
To Thee above the skies;
TO Thee we call!
Thou who art ever nigh,
Thou, the All-Seeing Eye,
Look down and hear our cry,
God save us all
Not for this land alone
Be thy compassion shown.
But for the world!
May all the nations be
Banded in unity,
Hailing with loyalty
Thy flag unfurled!
Thy kingdom we proclaim!
Blest be Thy Holy Namel
Hail we with one acclaim
Thy flag unfurledl

NonessentiaI Industries.

Assurances that for the present AZ
least nOnessential industries would not
be disturbed were given recently at a
conference of Uncle Sans new war
service committees which have been
appointed to cooperate with the coun-
Gil of national defense. The object
was touched on by Daniel Willard,
chairman of the war industries board /;
DR.. III. A. Garfield, fuel administrator,
and w. S. Clifford, director Of the coun-
Gil of national defense. Mr.. Willard
pointed out that some industries are
and will Oe more essential than others
in the winning of the war. Doctor
Garfield said that a list had been pre-
sented to him of between 500 and 600
industries, in one of which $1,000,0CO,-
600 was invested, and which were cali
ed nonessential industries. The COIN
mittees which met in conference rep
resent all the different industries in
the country, one committee being ap-
pointed for each class Of industry.

EARLY WORK IN THE BULB
GARDEN
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

With the first warm days the bulb
Gus plants spring up and many begin
ner has tried in vain to push them
back until warm weather.
As a rule it is best to let nature be
dictator. Hardy bulbs will pdure lots
of cold; and if they do sometimes get
hopelessly nipped of flower buds by
undue haste, there is more frequently
serious damage done to the roots by
trying to curb the growth.
Do not be In a hurry to remove the
leaves which should have been their
winter coverlet. Loosen them up
gradually, taking care that the plants
are not smOthering. If the weather
continues fine, work the loose leaves
a little more into the soil every day,
thus gradually making the change.
If you wish to mark a choice Speci-
men, tie string around it White in
bloom. The flowers come and go so
rapidly that one must be prompt to he
sure of marking the prize.
Some cut the tops from hyacinths
as soon as the leaves turn yellow, re-
move them and plar@ 20 ANNALS. This
Is a very neat wa" of getting rid Of
the bulbS-an5 most effectual as a
rule. But if yor wish hyacinths an
other year, there is better way, un-
less YOU can aScord to purchase new
bulbs.
Those diScOlored leaves are a neces-
sity to the plant which is rlpening the
bulbs, and if they cannot be tolerated
n permissible compromise is to trans
plant the bulbs to some out-Of-the-way
corner OF the yard where they can
ripen In peace.
They may then be dried and packed
away for autumn planting.
It is better to replant the hardy
bulbs at least once In two or three
years. else they become too thickly
matted. Besides, the soil needs a re-
newal of fertilizer; and this can never
be done so well as when the bed is
empty.
There is often complaint that the
old-fashioned dOuble-white Norcissus
POeticuS blasts In the bud. This is
usually remedied by resetting the
bulbs, which have become matted to-
gether.
If you have number Of varieties Of
tulips and more time or patience than
money to buy new varieties, there IS
often much pleasure in growing tulips
from seed. Some of the soft shades
in old rose have been in our own gar
den evolved from the cross-fertiliza-
tiOn of standard FORMS There is
pleasure, too, in watching the unfold
ing of the unknown. New varieties
purchased of seedmen are always an
nOunced and their beauties described; !;
but these seedlings are positively new,
and some Of them are strikingly beau
tiful.

LOANS TO OUR ALLIES
Most Of the Money Remains Here
for War Materials.
Secretary Of the Treasury Explains
How and Why, and the Benefits
Uncle Sam Derives.

The loans made by the United
States to the governments mt war with
Germany are arranged by the secretary
of Uncle Sans treasury and submit
ted to the president and made with his
approval.
The secretary states that his judg-
ment In making these loans is deter
mined largely by the monthly require
ments Of the applicants. The different
powers, through their duly authorized
representatives, make their repre-
sentatlons as to their necessities
for carrying on the war, and after dis
cusslon the various amounts are ar
rived at.
These loans, says the secretary, are
essential for our own protection, not
cnly for our protection in a military
way, but for our economic protection
and welfare. The production of the
United States has been speeded up and
greatly stimulated. We are producing
more than our own needs, and our own
economic protection and welfare de-
mand that we sell much Of our prod
ucts to our allies. To accomplish this
we must extend these credits to enable
them to buy our products.
Their commercial salvation is an es-
sential part of their effectiveness in
the war, and their commercial well-be-
ing demands that their export trade be
maintained in n considerable measure.
They must keep their civil population
engaged to the extent necessary to sus-
tain their industrial and economic ex'
istence. It is sound economic policy
on our part to assist them in maintain
ing their industrial life and economic
welfare.
Very little of the money loaned to
our allies, the secretary states, goes
out of the United States. Most Of it
is spent right here for war materials
and foodstuffs. The money we are ad-
vancing is not a contribution; 1t is
loan, on which they will pay interest
and which ultimately will be repaid In
full. Our allies are looked upon by us
as solvent peoples without ready mon
ey but with perfectly good credit.
Their expenditures of this money in
this country are Supervised by US.
Their purchases are made with the ad-
vice and assistance or our war indus
tries board. This system not only pro-
tects the borrowing ally but prevents
competitive bidding against the other
allies and the United States itself, and
obtains for the borrower the same
prices, the same terms, and the same
treatment our own government de-
mands in making its own purchases.
When one remembers that the loans
made to our allies enable them to do
the fighting that otherwise the Ameri-
can army would have to do at much
expense, not only of men but of money,
money which would not be returned to
us and lives that could never be re-
stored, the wisdom of our policy in
financing our allies is plain to every
one. 1t is not only duty to them that
we are performing in lending them
part of our great wealth; it is a great
duty we are performing to our SOL
diers and sailors and our nation in
making our allies powerful and effec-
tive, thus lessening the work and dam
ger and suffering for our own men and
in bringing the war to an earlier close.

DOdd's Kidney Pills
Relieve After 20
Years Suffering

Mrs. james Dotz, of GAINESVILLE. o.. is
one of thousands of people who in the
past 40 years have been relieved of the
agonies of kidney trouble by taking
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Only recently We re-
ceived an unsolicited letter from Mrs.
Dotz. which reads as follows:
For twenty long years suffered with
heart disease and bladder Inflammation. 1
had frequent chills. cramps in the muscles
and suffered from headache and backache.
/ was often dizzy and had flashes of light
and floating specks before my eyes 1
could get no help until | started to take
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Then l began to
improve right away and six boxes of these
Pills completed the cure
MY little boy also had kidney trouble
and was cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills I
hope thousands of others, suffering as
have, hear of your wonderful remedy"
Mighty few people realize in time that
Kidney Trouble is making its advances
upon their health. They put off treat
ment-they say, "Oh. I'll be all right In a
day or two" And the malady tightens its
grip. Result: Bright's Disease, hospital
treatment, Doctors hills-often death.

as possible, as the sooner the seeds
are got in, with safety, the better the
chances will be for their developing
into shapely, usable roots of good size.
As a matter of fact, we never see
parsnips too big, provided the roots
are clean and shapely, but understood
specimens with possible prongs to
their bodies are hardly worth the dig,
ging.
Most of the pronging, possibly all of
it, arises from the prepared oil. If
white sand can be had to incorporate
with the soil, it should be freely used.
In digging, two spits at least are
necessary, and If the grower chooses
to go another foot he will be repaid
for his trouble.
After digging a dry day and dry soil
should be given for working the whole
with a digging fork; after that some
little consolidation Of the surface will
be necessary to prevent sinking into
hollows during the process of sowing.
For this the surface must be sutii.
ciently dry to prevent all suspicion OF
clinging to the feet, and if you cannot
have those happy conditions just at
the time wanted, you must wait for
them.
Drills about two inches in depth
should be drawn for the seeds, and as
we want really food roots, the drills
may well be drawn 1S inches apart.
In these the seeds should be sown
thinly, and the error of putting in 80
seeds where but one Is wanted should
not be so common. Allowance must,
of course be made for failures, but
two seeds should never touch, or there
is trouble for the thinner, who, in pull
ing one is apt to pull both.
The onion is deeper roofing sub
ject than many are aware of and al
though all we want is above ground,
to get that good the roots go down
into it, so deep tillage in this case is
desirable.
If the ground is well worked, under
dry conditions, it can be thoroughly
firmed, and it can hardly be too firm
or too much consolidated for onions
prior to sowing.
The drills may be drawn as for
parsnips, but closer together, one foot
apart being ample, and after sowing
with a thoroughly dry surface the
roller may be brought into requisitiOn,
or failing that, well walked and final
ly smoothed over with the back Of a
rake
