Chinese Cabbage For Fall Salad.
Chinese cabbage of Petsai has
proved to be a highly desirable
garden crop for planting in Au-
gust, says j. T. Rosa, Jr., of
the University Of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture. The crisp
tender golden yellow leaves of
this new vegetable are without
equal for salad or slaw when the
plant is properly headed in the
fall. 1t grows best In the cool
fall season. If seed is sowed ear
ly in August some Of the plants
can be used for greens in about
six weeks, leaving most of the
plants to head up in the late fall.
The seed should be sowed thin
ly in rows and the plants thin
ned out to stand six or seven in
ches apart. A row forty feet
long will provide an abundance
Of salad and greens for a fami-
ly all thru the fall, even after
other vegetables are killed by
frost. The plants will continue to
grow after being exposed to
freezing, as they are very hardy.
By covering with straw, the
heads may be kept in the gar
den almost until Christmas.
When grown in the fall the
leaves are very crisp and tender
and serve as an excellent sub
stitute for head lettuce which
is very hard to get in the fall.
The flavor is very mild, only
family suggesting ordinary cab
bage and is preferred by many
people.

ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE.
War Savings Certificates Are Not Il

Easy to Cash Them.

Recent statements appearing In the

collateral to ecu loans, or for other
purposes. are erroneous. according 70
a statement by L. A. Wilson. federal
director for the War Savings organi.
ration for the Eighth Federal Reserve
District.
It Is directly antagonistic to the Fed
eral law. says Wilson. The law er-
plicitly states that War Savings
Stamps are not negotiable and may
not be transferred by the holder. He
may. Il necessity demands that he OBJ
tain the money he has invested in
them, give 10 days notice and have
them redeemed at any post office. But
to negotiate them through any chan.
mel not prescribed by the governments
Is prohibited.

THE NEED OF PROFIT IS SEEN
prummers viii Be Prepared to Talk
on Government Finances and
Securities.

Americas vast army OF commercial
travellers are expected to be the latest
auxiliary Of the peace-time forces that
will continue to spread the war-taught
spirit of thrift. An urgent request has
been sent this great organization 70
join the national thrift campaign for
extending the sale of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps.
The Savings Division of the Treas.
ury Department has taken the initial
step toward enlisting the members Of
this big organization. In a letter TO
the head of the commercial travellers.
the division urged them to continue
their valuable services which during
the war proved an efficient means OF
dispelling enemy propaganda, assist.
ing the sale OF Liberty Bonds and aid
ing In food conservation.
In part the request of the Savings
Division stated;
ITO give permanent value to one Of
the great lessons which the war taught
us. the Treasury Department is con,
Quoting a campaign to make thrift a
universal element in American life. In
this work, the object is to better the
financial condition of the American
people, This object is to be reached
by teaching the people:
ITO put aside, as their first OBJ
legation and before they spend at all
part Of their income for future use. o
To invest the money that they save
out Of their incomes in some security
which pays a reasonable rate of inter
est, and is absolutely safe, preferably
Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
THE more thrifty the people are
the more promptly they pay theil
bills; and the more promptly bills ar,
paid, the most stable and %prosperou:
are business conditions. It is, there
fore. good business for the commercial
traveller to join in a campaign to pro
mote thrift.
we call upon you to perform
great national service by carrying tn,
message of thrift to all those with
whom you come in contact. and b.
ascertainlng Whether or not Thrift ant
War Savings Stamps may be easily
purchased in the communities you visif
and reporting the results OF your in
vestigation to us. A few forcefu
words may win many a nan from per
sonAl failures to business success, ma!
