Magic Of ''Three
Times Flowing .

L have just finished working over
a piece of garden ground which had
of necessity been neglected before
this season. The surface was cover
ed with weeds or sod. This soil was
hard and partly filed with witch
grass roots. 1t did not look like a
very good place for gardening" says
today's message from a regional di-
rector of the United States School
Garden Army.
So we plowed it first. This buried
up most of the weeds and much of
the sods, but it brought a lot Of
witch grass roots to the surface.
Then we narrowed it with a toothed
harrow, and after narrowing, went
over it with toofhed cultivator that
pulled out many of the tangled mas
ses of witch grass.
The garden then looked more prom
ising, but it left much to be desired.
Many witch. grass roots were still
present and much of the soil was
still in great, hard Jumps through
which plants could hardly send their
roots.
So we plowed it again. OF course

Russian Government
Increasing In Power

Paris, April THE Russian gov
ernment at Omsk, headed by ADM
raj Kolchak, is steadily growing in
power, according to advies received
by the Russian commission here,
Boris A. Bakhmateff, Russian am
bassador to the United States, said
today.
In bolshevik and nonbolshvik Rus
sia, the ambassador added, there are
as large organized armies as in any
European country. He continued:
General Denekine (in the Cau-
casus) has 100000 men, the Kolchak
government has the same number, and
the strength Of the bolsheviki, which
has been variously estimated, is prob
ably 100000. All three forces are
fairly effective, the discipline of the
bolsheviki having been improved
greatly. The Russian military move
ments are so scattered over isolated
territory that the world apparently
has lost sight of their magnitude,
but other nations should remember
that bo1shevism is no longer a Rus
sian problem, but a world problem,
and the signing of a peace treaty
with Germany does not solve it."
The social revolutions in Siberia
have not, as reported, joined the boil
sheviki, the ambassador said.

New Dredging Record
Claimed by Tabor Crew

Digging a channel 1000 feeet long,
200 feet wide and fourteen feet deep
inside of twenty-four hours, sounds
like fairy tale. 1t was accomplished
in Louisiana on March %, and is un-
doubtedly a worlds record.
The great achievement stands to
the credit of the forces of the United
States Engineering district, which
has its headquarters in New Orleans.
1t was one of the last pieces of work
done under the command of 7. E. K.
Lipsey, civilian engineer, who now
