THE AMERICAN WAY

Major General Wood. of the
United States Army. is candi-
date for the Republican presidential
nomination. In order to make the
proper campaign he asked the DEM
ocratic Secretary of War for leave
Of sixty days.
In Mexico, when a general was a
candidate for president, the chief
executive refused to allow him to
run, and they almost had revolu-
ton thereabout.
In America, Secretary Baker not
only granted the leave of absence,
but also indicated that he was will

to adopt civilian garb during the
sixty days he was campaigning if he

Funny stories were told about them

GARDENING TIME


It's getting up to the edge of the

johnson Grass Good Hay Crop.
A Pest on Cultivated Fields

] tPrize Letter in Progressive Farmer)
| Let it be UNDERSTOOD in the very
beginning that johnson grass is my
friend l would not, If / could. say
anything to iniure his good name in
the hay field. where he belongs. He
has been a friend to me in times OF
need. He it was who contributed
go literally to my support in the
days of the terrible labor famine in
| this country. But for the timely
aid of this faithful friend many fer
tile acres would have been idle and
yielded me no returns. Be it said
to his credit that through it all be
has brought me as fair profits as
anything that ever grew on my farm.
However. there is no doubt about
his being a very unwelcome guest
in cultivated field. Like every
thing else he becomes a pest when
out of his place. But even here
he is not near go troublesome as
crab grass or nut grass or Bermuda
grass. Now. l know there are some
who have the fear of johnson grass
in their hearts who may deny this.
Nevertheless, it is fact.
Moreover. even in the cultivated
field. Johnson grass may serve the
farmer we'll if he will but listen to
the voice of his instructor. He
teaches two very important lessons
in farming. One is thorough prep
aration of the soil and the other is
rotation of crops. Ii the farmer
will follow these two lessons he will
have no trouble with Johnson grass
in his cultivated fields.
After yielding handsome returns
for two or three years as hay or as a
pasture (this latter in connection
with lespedeza), all the roots of
johnson grass are up close to the
surface of the ground and within
easy reach OF the pillow. Turn these
roots up to the winter freezes. Pull
verize the soil thoroughly-only
the matted roots in unbroken clods
give trouble. Cultivate often and
your fear of johnson grass will be
dispelled.
After all. it is not so much John
son grass that you want to get rid
of as it is the fear Of johnson grass.
Johnson grass is the most unjustly
abused plant on the face of the
earth. 1t is one Of the sufest and
best hay crops we have in the
South, and blessed is be whose land
will grow it. Houston G. WooD.

which sum was to provide for hold

This means the elimination of
40, 900 clerks, whose salaries amount
to that sum. and who will quit when
the pay stops,
Unofficiolly the war has been over

those in government employ have
resumed the ways of peace, while
the government war clerks have
been trying to create sor themselves

The decision of the Supreme
Court that dividends paid in stock
certificates instead of money are not
taxable income, has made much
angry talk among workers and the
small business men. 1t is hard for
the average man to see why a man
who gets. his profits in the shape OF
certificates. which he can take across
the street and change into real
money. should escape the income
tax, while the rest of us. who get
our salaries or business profits in
money. without any legal tricks.
should have to pay to the limit.
This may be good law, bat it is
poor honesty.
Under this decision the fellows
who made the big fortunes out OF the
war will not have to pay their share
Of the cost, and the average man
wonders what fair play there is in
making the masses fight the war
and pay for the war, both.

STILL TIME TO HELP DEMO.

1t is not too late to help the DEM
ocrats win the national election for
the principles of world peace and
true national honor. For more than
month the situation has improved
immensely. The tide has been in

in charge of the Democratic cam

fort to ircrease the tide and make it
overwhelming. Despite the insidr-
cost of millions by the Republicans.
the Democratic managers are Ger
tain the tide still flows in the direo-
ton of Cox and Roosevelt. But they
are not lessening their efforts; they
are putting into the las: weeks
i fight every bit of energy and deter
mination they can command.
The growing tide of sentiment in
favor of the Democratic ticket is
shown by increased voluntary finan-
cial support given tine Democratic
National Committee during the last
six weeks. While the funds re-
ceived are not comparable in total
amount with what are known to b.
at the command of the Republicans,
the flow of contributions sent vOlun-
tarily bespeak interest and enthusi-
asm that should mean victory for
the Democratic cause. Hundreds of
good women, hundreds of ministers
of the gospel. thousands of other
persons who ordinarily never think
of contributing to campaign funds
have on their own motion sat down
land mailed checks to Democratic
Headquarters. y
