Stunning that the average backyard
garden will be about 30xo0 to 40x8C
feet in size, it is safe to recommend
the application of one large two
horse load of manure to each gar
den. In some cases vacant city lots
have been used as dumping ground
for manure and no additional fertili-
cation will be required. This s-the
exception, however, and as a gen.
eral rule it will be necessary to ap-
ply fertilizing material to the land.
Wood Ashes Valuable.
Gardeners frequently inquire as to
the advisability of using coal and
wood ashes on garden soils. The
use of coal ashes is permissible on
heavy clay soils. However, they
should be screened before being ap-
piled, and then should be spread
evenly over the surface and thor
oughly mixed with the soil as deep
as it is plowed or spaded. Coal
ashes have little value as fertilizer,
their use being mainly to loosen the
soil and make it more workable.
Wood ashes, especially those pro-
duced by burning hardwoods like
hickory or oak, contain as high as
7 per cent potash, and are valuable
fertilizers. Those produced from
burning soft woods, such as pine,
and also hardwood ashes that have
been exposed to the weather, have
comparatively little value as fertil-
izer. About so pounds of dry, I'M
leached hardwood ashes may be ap-
piled to a plot of ground 30xo0 feet
in size, but should be we'll mixed
with the soil. t..

Our sincere desire Is to establish

Our sincere desire Is to establish
a state which will liberate our peo-
pie from the influence of the Turks
and stabilize civilization so that the
east may have her share. Our wishes
as to federated states would include
the Anticipating people of west
ern Asia, the people of Syria, in
GLIDING Palestine, upper Mesopo-
tania, known as Jevirah, lower Mes
opotamia, known as Irak, Arabia
proper, meaning the desert district,
and the coast districts Of Hedjaz,
Yemen and Nejed, as the fifth. The
northern boundaries of these states
would be along the southern side Of
the Taurus mountains from Alexan-
dretti to the Persian border.
Welcome Zionist Pioneers.
Concerning Palestine, we welcome
the Zionists to have all rights. We
welcome them all over our country.
After all we come from the same
ancient stocks and the Hebrews are
nearest to US in blood. Their Ian
guage is very close to ours. We
have no conflict in character and we
feel that the Arabian countries are
theft real field for development and
progress. =
Let me cali your attention to the
manner in which the Arabians and
Hebrews have prospered in Spain.
They are largely responsible for
the Moorish influence there.
We welcome them to our lands
because that is what our lands need,
people who will develop our re-
sources.
Foreign Investments.
My attention is called to the for
eign investments in Syria. 1t is
true there has been the investment
of money there; the French are
interested to a sum of perhaps $751;
100000. We are glad to have them
here, but we cannot see why the
country should be given over to the
French to rule because of this. Leg
islatively their investments will be
protected and the plan for a league
of nations will guarantee their safe
ty from outside attack. &J
We will protect all financial in
terests. That is our future. We
will encourage other interests and
investments from Europeans and
Americans to help US develop our
lands. We want money and ma
terial. Our only condition is that
these people come in as our friends
and not as our conquerors.
The greatest center in the east for
education is the American college
at Beirut. It is really the source of
the present Arabian movement for
freedom and independence.
There are half a million Syrians
in the United States. Is America

OF LATE BANKER
Omaha Nieces Of Late Mil.
Iionaire Nebraska Bachelor
Said to Resent "Favorite
NepheW's" Big Share.

Omaha people interested in the es-
tate of the late w. T. Aud, at Red
Cloud, Neb., have received informa-
ton that the will may be contested
by Cola Peterson and Alice I'm
Kicker, OF Omaha, nieces Of the dead
capitalist. These prospective con-
testants, who are now in Florida,
are reported to have engaged = Lin
coin law firm to represent them in
the case.
Mr.. Aud made his last will during
the closing days of November, 1918.
He died two months ago in Cali
fornia. He was a bachelor, and his
estate has been estimated between
81 100000 and $l,s00,000.
Left Large Estate.
Mayor Smith of Omaha, whose
former law firm did considerable
legal business for Mr.. Aud, states
that he understands the estate
amounts to nearly ST 100000.
The will provides for bequests in
favor of two sisters, a brother, and
the two nieces referred to.
]. w. Aud of Red Cloud, 4
nephew, is made the residuary lega-
tee for everything not specifically
mentioned in the will.
1t is estimated that, according to
the will, this nephew would receive
three-fourths of the estate.
w. T. Aud was president Of q
Red Cloud bank, in which this
nephew was cashier.
Mr.. Aud was interested in the
Corn Exchange National bank of
Omaha and knew many Omaha bust
ness men. He lived here for a short
time after the establishment of this
bank. He maintained his legal resi-
dence in Red Cloud.
= Say Uncle Incompetent.
Judge Sullivan of Omaha, attor-
ney for the estate, said he had heard
of the proposed contest by the two
nieces, and he explained that if they
should make the contest, it would
be on the grounds that w. T. Aud
was incompetent to make will at
the time that the will now on file
IN Red Cloud was signed.
The will is set for probate in Red
Cloud on March %, at which time
an administrator will be appointed.
By the terms 'of the will, H. S.
Clarke, president of the Corn Ex-
change Bank of Omaha, and J, w.
Aud, nephew, are executors.

Nl2aaAN How to Plan, Locate
Y:f' Home Food Gardens

One OF the first obstacles encoun.
tered by most town gardeners 10 ir
breaking up and preparing the soil
but the difficulty is far from insur-
mountable.
The farmer has teams and plows
and can easily prepare his garden
but in the city it Is hard to obtain
a plowman, and in most cases the
garden area is so small Is to make
it difficult to work 4 team. Where
it is not feasible to plow the land
spsding will have to be resorted to-
In fact, United States Department,
Of Agriculture specialists believe a
good job of spading is better in the
long run than blowing, and, while
it requires larger amount of hand
labor, the work can be done at odd
times and will not prove burden
some.
There are cases, however, where
the land is so hard that it can be
neither plowed nor spaded, and
about the only method of breaking
it up is by use of pick or mat
took This would seem like an I'M
possible proposition from a garden
standpoint, but, on the other hand,
hundreds of splendid city gardens
have been grown on just such land.
In some cases the rocks removed
from the soil have been sufficient to
construct fence around the outside
Of the garden. ..
Don't Tempt Your Parsnips.
Do you want long, straight car
rots, parsnips, and satisfy, or crook
ed, forked ones? Ask your wife; she
has to peel them.
All these roots have good inten-
tons; they want to keep straight,
but they can not stand adversely nor
withstand temptation. If they strike
rocks or clods on the way down,
they become forked or twisted, and
if Jumps of stable manure are in the
soil, they bend toward these or send
out branches in that direction. Dig
extra deep, making the soil fine and
mellow where these crops are to
grow, and see that ali manure is
finely pulverized and all fertilizer
thoroughly mixed with the soil.
Fine, Fertilized Soil Essential.
The essential in preparing 4 diff
cult piece of land for a garden is to
get the soil broken up fine to a
depth of 8 or 10 inches and to in
corporate with it . considerable
quantity of stable or barnyard ma
nure. The supply of manure in cit
les is now limited, and gardeners
should make early arrangements for
the amount they will need. As

Paris, March 2l.-What claim ha.
Arabia to national independence
Prince Feisel, hneal descendant in
direct line from Mohammed and son
Of the king of Hedjaz, the grand sa.
reef OF Mecca and Medina, has been
one OF the most interesting person
ages at the peace conference.
Highly educated himself, but forti-
fed with lirguist, A. H. Kisbany
of Lebanon, WHO is high in the af-
fairs of the Arabian state, his high
ness has set forth what the Arabian
peoples have done in the great war,
what they desire in the way of ma
ton of federated states and how
they proposed to develop the land
they live in. Here is his statement
in part
BY Prince Feisel of Arabia.
People OF the United States, am
led to believe, do not understand the
true thought and effort of the peo-
pie who speak the Arabic language.
| say people who speak the Arabic
language" This includes the people
of Syria, Palestine, Mesopotamia
and so on. The people of these dis
tricts live in cities and many of them
are highly educated.
In 1916 the Arabian state was rec
ognized by the British, French, Ital-
ians and the Russians and the king
of Hedjaz was welcomed as king
and ally by the British and the allies.
The Arabian army was composed
of Syrians, Mesopotamians and
Arabians. We dealt with the Turks
on the outposts of Hedjaz, in six
months expelled them and captured
thousands. At that time we had
about 10000 men while the Turks
had more than twice that number
facing us. ~.
The Turks who had been our OPP
pressors, seized the sanctuary at
Medina. We did not wish to destroy
this place by bombardment, so we
left the Turks there, but surrounded
the city and cut them off. They ca
pitulated
After surrounding Medina our
army proper proceeded north. We
attacked the Turks at Akaba, cap
tured the port and made the place
our own base of supplies. At this
time thousands of Syrian soldiers in
the Turkish army deserted and made
their way to our camp, where they
were welcomed.
We had the Turks at our mercy
and, as you know, by the records,
fully $4,000 surrendered. We then
entered Damascus, which had ex-
PEELED the Turks.
The Turks declared 4 holy war.
The grand sareef of Mecca declared
against holy war. This action es-
tablished peace in central Asia and
steadied Egypt and north Africa.
This kept Persia out of the war.
wonder if the rest of the world
understands that this is really what
happened?
Joined When Gloom Was Darkest.
Here is another thing which will,
I think, convince you of our sin
cerity: The king of the Arabs joined
the allies when the fortunes of the
allies were at their lowest ebb in the
east. The British army in Mesopo-
tamia was then surrounded at Kut-
El-Amara. where Townsend was at
the mercy OF the Turks. Also the
allies had just withdrawn from the
Dardanelles. But, relying on the al
lies promises to guarantee the de-
pendence and freedom of the Arabs,
MIG did not for one moment Nayer.

HOME SERVICE NOTES
Every Soldier Should Talk Insurance With
the Home Service Chairman of
His Red Cross.

We wish that every soldier would talk
Insurance with the Home Service Chair
man of his Red Cross before he decides
to drop the Insurance carried during the
War, There is so much misunderstood.
ing that the soldier is liable to make a
mistake in the matter of his best inter
ests. You can take out permanent
Policy in the new Government plan any
time within the next five years You
can reduce your Policy to one thousand
dollars If you want TO. You can arrange
the payments quarterly or annually.
Later on You will make payments at the
Postofiice. You will have a Policy that
will cost you for any contract YOU may
choose, and there are i've TO choose
from, one-fourth less than any Policy
offered by any Company at present in
existence. II has better cash surrender
value, has higher loan privileges. and in
all phases has everything to be desired
to help the soldier. Your Home Service
man will be glad to explain all these
values to you if you only will give him
the chance. Some day you will take out
Insurance. Why throw away the chance
now and later on pay more for Policy
OF which the highest recommendation
that could be given would be that il WAS
as good. The best Contract in our iudp-
ment would be the Thirty Year Endow
ment. This would cost the 20 to 25 wear
old soldier S2l.3 aud would WELD him
about the best sort of Matured value
IhSn the Twenty Pay life at $40. 70
would be good Policy and would bring
good value although not nearly so good
as the other. ANY way few soldiers but
could lay aside enough each year to buy
few thousand in Policy and some
day they would reap the reward of the
practiced economy.
If you are interested in the Insurance
as mentioned above or if you are in
doubt az to where to send the payment
write to The War Risk Insurance Dis
bursting Clerk, Treasury Department,
Washington, ID. c. Make all checks to
Treasurer of United States" Send in
the regular payment due and ask for in. |
formation, rates, blanks, etc, and you
will hear directly as to method of max
ing the change.
Several inquiries have been made in |
reference to errors in the Discharge pa
pers of the boys. For the information |
Of such we will say, that you may have
it corrected by sending the Discharge,
