HOW TO GROW
Lima Beans.

Lima beans are not adapted for planting in all part of the United States, but they thrive in the greater part of he Northern and Wtstern States, and certain of the smaller podded varieties do fairly we'll in parts of the South. Two types of Lima beans are in general cultiva- tion-the pole, or climers, and the bush varieties. Lima bea;ls should not be planted until the soil is thoroughly warm and all danger of frost or extremely cold nights is past.
 While the pole varieties of Lima beans are most widtly planted, it is 8 good plan to include small plant ing of a good bush variety, as thep will sometimes yield when the pole varieties are not producing. Some persons consider the bush varieties more tender and of better flavor than the pole varieties. One decided ad- vantage of the pole varieties is that they may be trained to a fence or any other convenient support, and do not occupy much ground. The old fashioned method was to train them to small poles, sitting these poles three to four feet apart in each direction and planting three to five beans at the base of each pole and thinning to two plants in each hill.
 Bush Lias are usually planted in rows three feet apart, three beans to the eye of the bean should always be apart in the row. Lima beans re- quire 8 rich soil. In planting them the eye of the bean should always bt placed downward. The seed should not be covered more than one inch unless the soil is extremely dry or loose Lima beans are exceptionally

STORIES. OF THE WAR House for Battle Worn
 Americans

Correspondence of The Associated Press )-Morn Hill, one of the huge military reservations on the heights overlooking this picturesque old city, is again an American camp. DuringlI the war it was the principal assemb ! ly ground in England for American legions on the way to the war. Now it is the clearing station for thou- sands of battleworn Americans who are on the way home. They are the men who fought with the British forces.
 All the far flung armies of the en- pire are contributing to this assemb- lage. The Americans are coming chiefly from France and the occupa tion forces forcts in Germany, but large numbers are making longer our neys. Some have served in Palestine, some in Egypt, some in South -Afri- ca, and others in India. Many are still in tht East and others are with the British forces in various parts. of Russia. It is reci1oned that it will be six or eight months before all can be brought to England.
 Meantime, as fast as the Americans arrive in this country they are sent to Winchester and put through the process of demobiliZation and re- partriation. Other camps here are being used to comb out Coionials who served with the English instead of with their own armi4s.
 The majority of tht Amar.cans who
 joined the British forces enlisted in Canada. Most of these are to be sent back, not to the point of enlistment but to their homes in the States, a stip ulation that was generally insisted upon by Americans when they volun- teered their services.
 Repatriation machinery turns slowly and there are often consider able delays, as it frequently happens that soldier arrives at - the camp weeks before his papers filter through the devious channels in which they move. It is only by his papers that a mans identity can be officially established. Great care is exercised in this matter for, in the British army there have been many instances of soldiers exchanging names and identification disks. If an American serving with a British regiment wished to remain in England and British comrade want enough, it was pointed out to the correspondent, for them to swap names and disks, and if the real Tom my was well coache and did not drop too many of his ''h's" the scheme might succeed.
 After rtpartriation, tie Americans are sent home as soon GE transports 1 can be provided at Southampton, which is only q dozen miles away. l Special sailings are arranged for the soldiers who are taking wives back with them.
 One husky Michigan lad now at the camp missed his chance to get away
 with the last shipload of unmarried
 men by making a sudden entry into
 the matrimonial state. A day or two
 before his transport was to sail he
 was spending the afternoon with an
 American girl he had met in Win chester. She. was from Paterson, N.
 J., and he called her Jersey" i well, this is goodbye he said as l he was about to return to camp. Thinking of home dinlmed the girls eyes. Gee, I wish I was going

keepina Economia Open.

(Correspondence of The Associat- ed ress)-When the big icebreakers bring allied soldiers or mails or pro- visions into. Economia.( Russia, which is the winter port of Archangel, things happen sometimes that even Baron. Munchausen might not believe.
 Economia is about 20 miles from ArohangeI down the frozen Dvina river to this point, where winter railway, built over frozen ground, furnishes transport to Archangel.
 It is here that sleigh drivers cross ing the river on the ice whip up their poines or reindeers to scurry out of
 the way of ship, that whistles for a. clear path while she breaks the ice
 ahead. t k The cold is So intense that the
 path of water where the ship has
 broken through freezes again within
 few hours, permitting sleigh traffic
 to be renewed.
 When one goes out to visit q ship at Economia he drives up to it's side in sleigh or walks over the river to it. H The Allies are making determined efforts to keep this harbor open throughout the winter, in order to supply properly the Americans and large number of ice breakers are to tbe employed to keep a channel fair ] ly free from ice from Economia to 1 Kandalaskslia or Keml, on the White Sea coast, :. where connection is made with the railway leading to Murman, an open port.
 At the present time ships are able 1 to operate at Murmansk. but this is expected o be impossible when ice | fills he neck of the White Sea.

1t is gratifying to note that in cer- tain sections of the city there are signs that the householders are re- spending to the need of spring clean up without waiting to be urged along hy an organized movement in that direction. That such ought to be done is of course apparent. Those who appreciate the importance of at tractive surroundings. the removal of litter. the elimination of rubbish and the clearing away of eyesores or the accumulations of winter have no req son to be dependent upon or be guided by what others do, although it cannot be overlooked that the greater the number engaged therein the more con- tagious it becomes.
 The work Of cleaning up should be thoroughly done. It is not enough to see that one's own yard is made spick and span by removing whatever debris can be found, only to throw it over the fence of an adjoining lot to make the conditions there worse than they were. to create the impression that the owner of that lot is the worst cit izen in that neighborhood and to de- tract from the value and appearance of other property, to say nothing of creating conditions which do not en- nance the health of the community. Such material should be placed where if can be taken away by the collectors Of garbage and ashes. in which work the city is always willing to cooperate for the sake of the results obtained.
 The clean up movement is highly commendable. There is no danger of it's getting too much attention and while the examples which are set here and there always arouse others to go and do likewise. the good that can be obtained by fixing a certain period for such efforts cannot be overlooked. II brings the matter to the attention of many who neither see nor profit by the lessons others are teaching,

to be seen. It will be given a test and if it does not produce results it can be expected that the next step will be taken, though the better picture houses can be expected to use their influence in putting out of business those which by their methods are threatening the whole industry.
 To a large extent the responsibility for better films will be put upon the shoulders of the public. It will remain to be seen whether the patronage of the movie houses that are willing to show improper films continues such that the menace is not removed or whether the decrease will force them to change the character of pictures or go out of business. The effort is in be- half of clean entertainments and bet ter moral conditions and it is one that should succeed by one means or an- other

OVERCOMING THE UNREST.

Now that the forces of the German government have succeeded in routing the soviet government in Munich the situation in that country is showing an improvement which must be of no little satisfaction to Germany as well as to the allied nations. It indicates that the tendency toward bolshevism is on the wane. that the government which exists there at the present time is able to handle such revolts as that represents and that the Ebert govern ment has been strengthened by the ability to exercise control and put down such trouble makers.
 It is in keeping with the develop ments that are taking place in Hun gary, where the soviet government which Bela Kun is directing is on its last legs, although in the case of Ger many it was able to look out for it. self. The soviet at Munich was over- come by German forces, while in Hun- gary it required the combined opera tions of the Rumanians, Czecho- Slo- walks and French to save it from the bolsheviki.
 Thus are the conditions among the countries of central Europe changing. The menace of bo1shevism is disap- bearing and henceforth it can be ex- pected that q more stable government will prevail and that is certainly needed. not only while the peace treaty is being made ready for signing but in the days to come. For a time bolshevism threatened grave danger not only to Germany but to the whole of Europe. The supplying of food and the bringing into action of military force have served to change the situa- ton and it is fortunate indeed that it has come before the day for affixing the signatures to the treaty of peace.

FIGHTING IMPROPER PICTURES.

Following up the recognition of the need of instituting reforms the na- tional association of producers of mo- ton pictures has taken steps which it figures will result in overcoming the criticisms which have been offered. and at the same time serve to pre- vent the creating of federal censor ship of the film business. The plan is to create new board of censors amongst themselves to which will be submitted all the films, and it is agreed that none of the theaters which profess to show approved pic- lures shall exhibit any films unless they have the approval of this board. It is figured that this will draw a line between the picture houses which are endeavoring to bring about the re- forms which it has been declared are necessary, and those that are willing to show disreputable pictures, or in fact any kind so long as sufficient pa- tronage can be secured.
 How the plan will work out remains

WARSHIPS COME AND GO.

How our naval vessels come and go and what development takes place in their construction is well illus trated by the passing of some Of the veterans of the Spanish war just at the time when the Tennessee, the lat est thing in sea fighting machines has been sent down the ways.
 The great Tennessee could almost swallow up two of the old battleships and marks the strides that have been made in naval architecture in the past two decades, but that does not detract from the fighting ability of the Iowa, Oregon, Massachusetts and Indiana in their day. The fleet of which they were leaders commanded the attention of the world when the same was be- ing said of them as is now being said of the latest addition to the navy, and it is with regret that the time has come to lay aside these ships pernla- nently because they have outlived their usefulness.
 Such action had been taken previ- ous to the war except in the case of the Oregon but when trouble came they were recalled for such service as they could perform but now through a shortage of men the Oregon goes the way of the others. What were once nava7 giants and the yictors over the Spanish fleet are now but pig1nies but in view of the magnificent record which was established by the Oregon in it's great trip around Cape Horn from the Pacific to the Atlantic it is to be hoped that the state for which ii was named will not overlook the op- portunity of perpetuating the ship in one Of it's har0ors for historical pur- poses. It's fighting days are over but it ought not to be allowed to go tc the junk heap or for target practice

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
How to Unite Europe.

Mir, Editor: The European nations have been so used to being under kings and fighting -ro get booty that they do not know how to start and run republics. .
 The peace leagne of nations ought to teach thcm that instead of what they are trying to do: Rus sia, Germany. France, Italy and Great Britain are five great powers in Europe. There shoulc be two. other great powers in Europe, Norway Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Bel gium should form Scandinavia, na- tion of five states, each state electing it's governor. legislature laws and
 courts of S.;stice; but all toefther electing a congres with, the president to make the laws to promote justice, peace, intelligence, and co operation for the general welfare" ,,-.- -
 If a row of small states were be- tween Germany and Russia, as some
 propose, both Germany and Russia would strive to secure and enslave those states. as they have done in the
 past. Instead, all the states from the
 Adriatic to the Black Sea, and from Germany to the Mediterranean, should
 be combined as one nation Limited
