HOW 10 GROW
ONIONS

Onions may be grown either from sets of from seed. The greater part of the commercial onion crop is grown from seed, but the usual method of planting onions in the garden is by use of sets.
 One quart of sets will plant from 75 to 125 feet of row with the plants four inches apart in the row: this depends, however, upon the size of the sets. Onion sets should be placed in a small furrow, root-end downward, and cov- cred to depth of about 1-2 inches unless the soil is extremely heavy. in which case they should not be GOV
 cred so deeply. Onion sets may be planted just as early i'll the spring as the ground can be cultivated in all
 sections except in the extreme north ern part of the country. where the weather becomes too cold, certain va rieties ma be nlantad in the autumn and gi e1 protection over win CT. In a very small garden the onion sets
 may be planted in a bed three to four inches apart in each direction. By this method all the work of cUitivating must be done by hand or with small hand tools, and is a little more difficult than where they are planted in a sin gle row. Onions require frequent shall low cultivation and must be kept free from weeds. When the tops begin to ripen and bend down to the ground, it ! is time to remove the onions from the l soil and spread them to dry in a cool shady place where they will have plenty of air. Later the cops and roots i can be trimmed off and the onions stored in a cool. dry place. Slight 1 freezing does not hurt the bulbs in 1 storage, provided thev are not disturb l ed while frozen. However, onions will : he injured hv rens2ted freezing and

STORIES OF THE. WAR EDITH CAVELt'S LAST WORDS.

Correspondce of The Associated Press).-"I expected my sentence, but l am glad to die for my country. In the sight of eternity. I know now it is not enough to love only your own country. You must love all, and not hate any,
 Those were among the last words of Edith Cavell. the British nurse who was executed by the Germans in Belgium. The churcnman to whom they were spoken the Rev. H. s. T. Gahan, has just. returned to England from Brussels, where with his wife he remained throughout the war.
 Aided by German protestant mili- tary chaplain, MT. Gahan received per mission, he says, to see Miss Cavell in prison on the night before the death sentence was executed.
 With the chapIain,' Mir. Gahan said, T went to the cell door and it opened and Miss Cayell stood in the doorway. l had gone prepared for a very trying scene. There stood my friend-looI1- ing as calmly sweet as anyone could look She was unchanged. except that she appeared better for the enforced rest in prison. The warden withdrew and we were not interrupted.
 T remember practically all she said. She was thankful for the quiet time. as her life had been such burden and rush in many respects. She was not sorry to go. for her life had con- tained so much trial that she was weary beyond endurance. They have treated me very kindly here," she said.
 The little communion vessels were placed on a chair. and after the ser vice Mir Gahan recited Abide With Me- Miss Cavell joining under her breath.
 Then I felt the minister continued that I must not stay much longer for l had been there an hour. I stood up and said, Good bye and we were face to face. She was Joking slightly strained, but nothing more. We shook hands and smiled, and I added. we shall meet again. Good-bye' 1 The great crime of hurrying the execution, according to MT Gahan, be- 1 longed to the military governor oi 1 Brussels, who would not wait to con- i municate with headquarters.

A GOVERNMENT TANGLE.

Tho country is deeply interested at the present time in the outcome of the difference which exists between the industrial board of the departmen of commerce and the director general of the railroads. As matters stand at the present time the work of the indus trial board has been practically null lifted by the stard taken by Director Hines.
 It was hoped as the result of the study which had been made by the board and the conference it had had with the steel producers that there would be big incentive to building operations throughout the country by the reduction in prices agreed upon The idea was to encourage this kind of activity and to make the increased volume of business at a reduced profit make up for the lowered prices, while tradesmen in all lines would likewise benefit thereby.
 All seemed well until Director Gen eral Hines declared that the prices were too high, that they were higher than the railroad administration could get both as to steel and coal and there fore he would not abide thereby. It was thus a case of one branch of the government knocking out the work of another and at the same delaying the improvement in conditions which had been sought
 In connection with this matter as regards coal, it is pointed out that the railroads have been securing prices below the cost of production since they arc the real big customers by taking third of the output Also ths coal operators are dependent upon them for the car3 to move their pro- duct. The result of such a deal is that the other consumers have to make up for the low price which has been charged the roads.
 There are thus apparently condi- tions which needs to be better under stood and the country will welcome the day when they are strengthened put, but while it is underway it should Do done right.

morale as may exist among other bol- shevik forces. But there is more trou- ble elsewhere for in the south where the bolsheviki quite recently drove the allied forces out of Odessa and clear ed the Cri1nea, the Ukrainian peasant army under General Petlura has made important gains while the allied forces operating with the Russians have not only checked the bolshevik advance south of Archangel but have driven them back. This with the advance of the Lithuanians who have taken Wilma points to defeat along another line of operations.
 Likewise is interest being directed to the overthrow of the bolshevik gov- ernment in Hungary following the op- erations of the Runqanian army and the desertion of large army thereto, while the effort to extend the Lenine doctrine to Vienna is being success fully resisted. The prevailing situa-
 ton may be only temporary but with
 the food situation what it is the strengthening of the bolshevists is bound to he 8 hard task, while it is
 plainly indicated where the allied na- tions can supply not only food but i munitions in order to bring about the most good in improving conditions in Russia.

SITUATION IN RUSSIA.

The trouble in Russia seems to go from one extreme to the other. Only recently the bolsheviki appeared to be gaining and the influence of their activity was being felt quite exten- bivcly outside. Today. however, it is different. Tho tide has apparently turned and the bolsheviki are experi- encing reverses in all directions.
 Not only are they hard pressed as the result of the food situation but along the eastern front they arc on tho run. Admiral Kolchak has not pnly set up a government at Omsk which is due to receive the recogni- hcn of the allied countries, but his forces have administered bad defeat 10 the Lenine supporters and with mch victory it is bound to carry kith it q breaking down of such a

Can you guess what has happened to me?" young Mrs. Bingham exclaim- miserably.
 Never in the world" responded her neighbor, placidly. Pretty little Mrs. Bingham had come in to weep on her motherly shoulder before; therefore, she was not alarmed.
 Never in the world,' she reiterated. Tell me-"
 Listen" Mrs. Bingham smiled in spite of herself. I've got to tell some body.
 You know Tom was in the draft He had to fill out all sorts of blanks and documents and things. They were so impressive 1 felt as if I were losing him, even if he was not called: He signed them all and that was the last we heard of them; that is until today, when a big envelope came to Tom.

 You know we were married when Tom was just-just 26 and I was "A. 1 Well, this horrid paper says that Tom that they looked up his birth record, and they have it in black and white.
 When Tom thought he was 26 he was only 24"
 The speaker became inaudible in her . handkerchief.
 Do you mean to tell me that all this 1 waste of briny tears is over the fact l that you suddenly discover, in the midst of happy married life, that you 1 and your husband are the same age? asked the motherly neighbor. "Or is ii 1 that you fear that he will be put iE jail" '.No," walled the figure on the win
 dow seat miserably, you don't under
 stand me, nobody understands.
 NOW I'll tell you. No. they cant put him in jail, because he's perfect i ly innocent; his age is the same on al his insurance policy and things. He went to live with relatives when ht 1 was a boy and he reckons they mus 1 have got his age mixed up with one 0! 1 his five brothers and sisters, and that; thrown him off ever since.

 'I admit that the five months start you had on Tom is something to be considered. Doubtless you had learned great deal, perhaps achieved the feat of waving a rattle, when he made his entrance into this world. By rights, then, you should be just one lap ahead | of him in worldly wisdom. We'll now it's up to you to capitalize this new discovery.
 You know, my dear-and I hope you don't mind my mentioning it-you have never been exactly assertive in l that little home of yours across the i hall You're what is commonly known as the pretty clinging vine type of woman.
 1 T can't help noticing that it is your husband who does all the planning. ! all the deciding for your household. 1 l actually believe he must tell you what kind of clothes to wear. 1 q have often heard you change your i opinion to suit that of your husband after he had spoken. That's a bad habit to get into; pretty soon he will
 expect it, next he will demand it Why this is going to be simply wond- erful for you, my dear-the next time he tries to over-rule your opinion, give him cornerwise look out Of your eyes that plainly says, Seniority gives au. thority!"
 But" the lachrymose figure sat IT and sniffled, isn't 1t kind of-o1 disgrace for a wife to be older thar her .husband?"
 "Yes if she doesn't remember it. retorted the older woman. "Ant
