would entail a considerable loss.
Therefore the advice offered is, defer
planting until 1920 If feasible Other
wise put out the trees and protect
them with cheesecloth coverings.
Such protection can be made prac-
tically absolute.
The coverings need not be put on
until the insects have emerged from
the ground, when it can be deter
mined whether or not they are suf-
hciently numerous to make covering
Of the trees necessary. Once put on,
the coverings should be allowed to
remain until the insects are gone.
The protection can be made prac-

value of the child and his need for
good health. wholesome play, ade-
quate schooling and protection from
premature work is said to be indi-
Gated by laws contemplated by the
states. These include many bills for
protection of children.
The children's bureau has planned a
conference with foreign experts who
have had part in the work done by
European countries for the protection
Of children during the stress of war
The conference will consist of two
distinct parts: First. a small workinl
committee of American authorities to
be invited by the Secretary of Labor

will meet Informally with the foreign
guests at Washington during the
week of May s: second, a series of re-

Mention of the word corn is likely
to make US think Of the American In
dian; and yet they did not know the
sweet, sugary kind of corn we enjoy
today. What they grew and used was
the field variety. Corn has often been
called the garden king" and in many
ways it deserves the honor. The
shorter the time from garden to table,
the better the quality and flavor of
corn. This is true, also, of number
of other vegetables. That is the rea-
son why the home gardener can enjoy
what he raised himself much more
than any bought product In order
to have a steady supply of this Won
derfully delicious and healthful vege-
table, make a small planting every
week or ten days until late summer. if
an early variety is used; or plant

about the same time. Varieties that

first planting when the ground begins
to warm up.
Beans might be called the vegetable
meat plant because they make good
substitute for part of the meat in the
diet. AS the ground warns up get it
in condition and lay off rows twenty
to twenty-four inches apart. Drop the
seeds three to four inches apart and
cover one inch deep. When the plants
are about three inches high thin to
about six inches apart. If you would
rather plant them in hills. drop three
or four beans together every twelve
to fifteen inches and thin to two plants
per hill. Make paintings every two
or three weeks SO as to have young
tender beans all season. This is for
bush or snap beans. For pole beans
make the rows four feet apart and
Plant four seeds in each hill and later
thin to two plants. Set a pole five tc
six feet long at each hill for support
or plant pole beans near the garden
fence so it may be used as support.

CALLS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD3

Men. whose memories reach back to
Lincoln's assassination and the temp
est Of rage and passion raised by the
tragedy, may recall the effects of the
above quotation, when used by James
A. Garfield, who was also fated to go
TO his grave, while president, at the
hands Of the assassin. One OF the
most eloquent of men, Garfield used
the couplct while addressing an audi
ence Of many thousand maddened men,
in New York City, where he CHANGED
to be. 1t acted like oil on troubled
waters and the audience came to an
orderly conclusion.
But one is tempted in the presence
of the worldwide din over ills of this
day to doubt if "All is right with the
world" Certainly it does not lie IN
the power of oratory to stay the rls-
ing social and industrial storm. Be
tween the discomfort and swelling
wrath from "profteering," the high
cost of living-an Inheritance of the
war as all pervading and far more
persistent than the hu-and the con
seouent threat of revolt under the
Plumb and other Bolshevik plans, the
strike fever, or fashion, with the
threatened deadlock or break down OF
the peace treaty, timid and thoughtful
peole may well ask, whittier are We

AND so NOW IT'S TO BE
TOBACCO?

Those who complained that prohi-
bition was sprung on the country un-
awares, despite the fact that the cam
paign of the various anti-liquor or
ganizations had been open and above
board for a generation or more, can
have no such excuse if the movement
now reported to be under way to ban
tobacco as a filthy weed, injurious to
health and an enemy Of civilization
ever gets beyond the academic field Of
Idiscussion. FereTvarmed Is. foraaytnelL
And the Philadelphia who has smoked
out the latest example of sumptuary
intolerance will unquestionably come
in for commendation in that his per-
sistent refusal to be put off the track
finally resulted in victory for him in
the case of a foolish publication that
had no right to be a textbook in the
public schools. Bu this textbook is
only the beginning of crusade that
derives at present from Kansas and
/ Illinois and does aim to have anti
tobacco laws passed in every common
wealth. Hostility to tobacco, it is true,
suffered an eclipse during the war,
when Smokes for the soldiers and
sailors" was one Of the most poular
slogans raised at all the relief meet
ings. But if the drive against tobacco
is now on as a postwar campaign
there is nothing like having it out in
the open with the issue frankly joined

"a CONCENTRATED GROWL."

Mr.. Champ Clark happily charae-
terizes the policy of the Senate Re-
publicans as zone concentrated
growl." Just as the worshippers Of
divine right held tina tthe king could
do no wrong, the straitest sect and
the majority Of Republican leaders
hold that a Democratic president can
do no right. A steady and bitter OPP
position to Mr. Wilson, constant
nagging criticism, a refusal to be sat
isfed whatever he does or leaves un-
done, is the Republican policy or i'm
policy. Be hes present or be ne alb
sent, he is always their Doctor Fell.
If he keers to himself, they accuse
him of isolation and secretiveness. If
he throws open the White House to
them, they suspect some dark design
or are afraid of his powers of per-
suasion. If he changes his mind on
any public question, as every states
man whose mind is not stagnant and
whose Judgment is not fixed beyond
the power Of change and event must
do, the Republicans blame him for his
first opinion and blame him for alter
ing it. There is no pleasing them. 1t
almost seems as if they were obsessed
by hallucination, fixed idea, a mo-
nomania.
In 1916 the Republicans carried on
their campaign largely in this same
spirit of barren criticism and of con-
slant belittlement of Mr.. Wilson
with what felicity Of result and effect
upon public opinion they seem to
have forgotten. Since then Mr.. Will
sons most fruitful, constructive and
benefcent work has been done. He
has strengthened himself among the
people. Sagacious and fair-minded
Republicans like Mr.. Taft know well
the danger that the Republican party
courts by its blind unreasoning hatred
or fear of Mr.. Wilson. The Republi-
cans in Congress have learned nothing
fro mthe Canvass and election of 1916
AS patriots and Americans, the Dem
ocrats must regret this unadvised Re
publican policy. AS Democrats, look.
ing only to partisan consequences
they can afford to put up with the
concentrated growl" of which ma
jority of the American peole must
now be unspeakably tired.-New Yorl
Times.

CHARGE OF COLLINS PROVEN.

Governor Bilbo has been trapped in
very nasty falsehood, and Attorney
General Ross Collins has been thor
oughly vindieated in one of the
charges he made concerning the gov
ernor in the first primary campaign.
1t will be recalled that Attorney
General Collins charged on the stump
that if Russell should be elected gov
Iernor he win use the influence of the
executive Office to make Bilbo presi-
dent Of the Industrial Institute and
College, the great institution at CO.
lumhus, where more than one thous-
and Mississippi girls receive training
each year.
Governor Bilbo. replied to this in a
very salty statement, denouncing the
assertion of Collins as falsekood,
and heaping much abuse on the attor-
ney general, incidentally making men
ton of Assistant Attorney General
Walter Dent in terms so. uncompIi-
mentary that Mr.. Dent gave Bilbo a
Vigorous drubbing few days later
when they met in the office Of Seere-
tary of State Power:
And now the whole truth has come
out Collins knew absolutely what he
was talking about, for a letter is be-
ing exhibited on the stump in proof
positive of the assertion.
| The letter in question is personal
communication from Governor Bilbo
to Hon. O, T. Lawrence, of Grenada,
secretary of the general board Of
trustees of Mississippi's higher educa-
tional institutions, in which he asks
/ Mr.. Lawrence to vote for him for
president of the Industrial Institute
and College
The letter is at present in the pos
session of Assistant Attorney General
Walter Dent, the man who whipped
Bilbo. Mr.. Dent has taken the stump
against Russell, and he is reading this
letter from Bilbo to MIR. Lawrence
wherever he speaks.
] Bilbo, it will be recalled, alleged in
his newspaper statement that Mr.. Dent
was the originator of the. story that
4 he wanted to be president Of the In
dustrial Institute and College. 1t
seems that while Mr.. Dent didn't orig
mate it, he is at least equipped to
prove it to the satisfaction of any
/, fair-minded' man.
The bare thought of Bilbo as presi-
dent of the great college for girls was
so bizarre, so utterly incongruous,
that many Of the friends of Attorney
General Collins seriously doubted the
accuracy Of the statement, but it now
