HOW JANE HELPED
 UNCLE SAM
By Althea Nightingale.

The writer of this story, a little girl in the Everett School of Boston, has worked hard to prepare something suitable for use in connection with the work of selling War-Savings Stamps. Her idea of raising flowers to be given to wounded soldiers, as we'll as the plan of vegetable gar den for the conservation of food, will doubtless be adopted by many other girls and boys.
 Once upon a time there was a little girl whose name was Jane Clarke. She lived in little village outside of Boston.
 country. One day she was sitting on the doorstep wondering what to do. She said, q have bought Thrift Stamps and War Savings, but that is not enough" She looked around the yard. Just as she was going into the house, feeling very discouraged, a bright idea struck her. Jane jumped up, running in the house as fast as her little legs could carry her. Mother! Mother!" cried the excited child. Her mother came down stairs and Jane sat down by the fire place to tell her story.
 Mother" she began, slowly and distinctly, 'I have bought Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. I think I can do more than that. I thought perhaps you would let me plant garden in the back yard. Will your" Why, yes," answered her mother smiling.
 The next afternoon Jane began working in the garden. There was one place in the yard which she had not used. Her mother told her that she might use that to plant some flowers.
 It did not take long for the flowers and the vegetables to grow. After the vegetables were all dug little Jane took them to the Food Conser- vation Club and gave them to the peo- pie there to can. After the people canned them they put Jane's name and age on the jars and sent some of them to Washington, and the rest Jane sold and bought Thrift Stamps. She took some flowers to the camp and gave them to the wounded sol diers who had been fighting lover there"
 One day Jane received a letter from Uncle Sam, thanking her for her thriftiness, and along with the let ter came button which said, "Thrif- ty Jane Clarke, 12 years old, is a little patriot"

graZed continuously for from 90 to 100 years and to all appearances are better than ever now.
 Lime, phosphates, and stable manure are the materials which give the best and most lasting benefits. They. are also the cheapest of fertilizing sub- stances. A liberal use of these at the start is advisable rather than small applications at frequent intervals. The same may be said of reseeding. Scat tering little seed among weeds and brush is usually waste of time and money. The results obtained are not at all comparable to those where a seed bed with fertilization has been prepared before seeding.

Pastures Should Be Looked Upon

No Better System of Farming Than Grazing With Beef Cattle or Sheep -Use Lime, Phosphates and

Prepared by the United States Depart

 Fertilizing pastures should be looked upon as a permanent invest ment, in a class with fences and buildings, rather than a reason for ex- pecting full pay and a profit the sea- son they are applied. No system of farming maintains fertility once in a soil as does grazing with beef cattle or sheep. There are many pastures in the blue grass region which have been

Much Honey Goes to Waste.

Whole shiploads of honey have been sent to Europe, and more is wanted. Few people realize that 250,oo0,oo0 pounds of honey are produced in the United States alone each year. Yet the department of agriculture says that the output ought to be much greater. and that millions of dollars
 worth of sweets annually arc going to waste in the fields for lack of bees to gather the nectar. When the con sumer pays twice as much for comb of honey as he did a few years uso he feels disposed to buy s stand a6 bees himself.

YESTERDAYS PRIMARY

The result Of the primary yesterday
puts a number Of very satisfactory
councilmanic candidates in the field and
gives the voters Of Wheeling &c selec-
ton Of reasonably good material. It is.
however. no secret th&t The council
manic position. under present condi-
tons. does not attract leading business
or professional men. During the past
two years the office has been completely
subordinated to the city manager. and
the city manager has been the controli-
ing influence in public affairs. and not
the council. This condition is bound to
continue. The theory OF our govern
mene is that a good council Of respon-
sible citizens will become a controlling
influence in city affairs. The actual e1-
perience will be that councilInen. sooner
or later, will be. elected for the purpose
Of supporting a particular candidate for
city manager. The city manager. in
stead OF being elected by council. will in
effect cause council to be elected to per
petuate him in office. However, il is
not necessary now to speculate as to
these conditions in the future. The
primary yesterday was noteworthy FOR
Indifference Of the public to all candi-
dates rather than for the vital interest
taken in the results.

LOG ROLLING THE LEAGUE

Probably due to the insiStence Of MIR.
Wilson. the covenant of the League Of
Nations is made a part Of the peace
treaty. II is not at all unlikely that
tho covenant would not be accepted by
a number of the interested parties if
this were not the case. Evidently the
purpose is to force acceptance Of
League Of Nations in order to facilitate
the conclusion Of the peace negotiations
and the establishment Of settled condi-
tons. This is an old trick. and not g.
dignitied one fer men burdened with the
responsibility for the welfare Of the
would. In log-rolling legislative bodies
it is not unusual for lawmakers to cou-
pie piece Of graft with a worthy
measure in order that the good may
force the acceptance Of the bad. The
same principle. undoubtedly. applies to
the drafting of lth" League OF Nations
into the peace treaty.
The Intelllgcncer DeileFeS' however,,
that the treaty will be generally accept
able regardless Of minor objections that
will be- raised. The covenant of the
League Of Nations has been so denatur-
cd. so to speak. that It amounts to
league only in name: a moral agreement
which may be Of value to the world. but
which will be conveniently brushed aside
by any strong nation that feels inclined
to do so.
