HOPE FOR TREATY

The wreck of the treaty is so COM
plete that the country may we'll de-
spair of any salvage. But to say
that this great instrument of liberty
and peace cannot be. saved would be,
indeed, a counsel of despair, unworthy
of the acceptance of a nation which
only few months ago cherished no.
BILE aspirations, the aspiration above
all of ending the World War in a way
to make repetition of it impossible.
Although the Treaty of Versailles
was killed on November 1--we have
the high authority of Senator Lodge
for the statement that it was then
"dead"-although Mr.. Lodges own
treaty has now been killed, hope is not
dead and hope should sustain the soul
of every man and woman in the coun-
try who loves peace and abhors war.
Now that the bloody work has been
done in Washington there should be a
revulsion of feeling there.
Would it not be possible for Pres
ident Wilson to take advantage of his
present opportunity to address to the
Senate and to the country a state
ment picturing forth, as he of all
men knows best how to picture forth,
the consequences of our failure to rat
ify the treaty, of our refusal to be-
come a member of the League of Ma
tions? -. The Senate, we are
sure, has learned much in these
months of strife. Certainly the Pres
ident must have learned something.
Confronting as we do at this hour a
great peril, let animosities be laid
aside, let both departments of the
treaty making power join in an eff
fort to put the treaty and the League
covenant into effect Reservations
there may be and will be, but the
country would demand and compel
ratification if it understood what dan
ger failure to make peace and enter
the League involves and invites

COMPANION CROPS
IN THE GARDEN

In small gardens space and labor
may be economical by planting to-
gether, on the same area, such vege-
tables as are mutually adapted, ac-
cording to the horticulturists at the
University Of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. In at least few cases
mixed species are mutually helpful.
Onions, lettuce, carrots and small,
weak seedlings often find difficulty in
pushing above ground. This is par
tlcularly true in heavy soils that have
not had time to become mellowed by
repeated deep working and the incor-
poration of organic matter. A few
radish seeds may be mixed with seeds
of these sorts. The radish seeds
sprout promptly, the seedlings break
the crust and allow their weaker COM
panion plants to come up readily. The
raAishes soon mark the row, so that
early tillage may be given even before
the other plants are up.
Pole beans may be planted in the
same hill with sweet corn, tomatoes
that are to be staked or with sun
flowers. The beans climb on the corn,
sunflowers or the tomato stakes. In
addition bush (string) beans may be
planted between the rows of these
plants. Garden peas may be planted
between the hills of Irish potatoes or
sweet potatoes, and string beans may
be planted between the rows. Squash
es, pumpkins, summer squashes, mel
ons and other plants of the gourd
family NAV he Dlantpd with corn or
tomatoes. Early cabbage may be set
between late, wide-row crops like corn
or tomatoes. Careful observation en-
ables the gardener to determine
what plants do well together and how
to get the most out of limited space
by companion cropping.
1t should be borne in mind that
maximum development of plants I'M
der crowded conditions requires rich
soil. The richer, deeper and mellower
the soil, the more intensively may

Where abundant space is available
and where the soil has not yet been
brought to intensive gardening condi-
ton it may be better to plant nearly
all vegetables in rows far enough
apart to permit horse cultivation. The
smaller vegetables, however, cannot be
given by horse power quite the tillage
they need. In addition they require
hand work. The aim should be to
ameliorate the soil as rapidly as pos
sible and work toward the intensive,
hand method. Once a satisfactory soil
condition is obtained, a man with
wheel hoe can cultivate row of on
ions about as quickly and easily as
ne can with .horse-drawn implement

the retail dealers will buy the less

If there are any persons who do not

man, Division of Women's activities,

During "Save Money on Meat"

SAVE MONEY ON MEAT" WEEK

Wiring the tears from profteers'
IS what the women of Missouri have
resolved to do. The Save Money on
Meat Week, April 5-12, is for the pur.
pose of bringing down the price of the
most costly cuts of meats. If it should
result in raising prices, it will have
defeated its own purpose.
Despite the general complaints
about the high cost of living, retailers
of meat declare that they have a brisk
demand for the so-called choice cuts,
but find it difficult to sell the less eX-
pensive portions. The ribs and the
loins are very popular, while whole
some meats like chuck, flank and bris-
ket are sadly. neglected.
This situation has become so acute
that many retailers no longer stock
the less costly cuts of meat; others
grind these cuts up into Hamburger
steak. Some of the inexpensive piec-
es are almost literally wasted. The
demand for meats at retail is thor
oughly uneven. This makes merchan-
dising less efficient.
Who pays for this waste? Who
pays for this loss of efficiency? You
know who pays. 1t will not be pop
ular thought, but it does seem a sort
of poetic justice that those who have
created this situation are facing the
problem of changing it, or paying for
it: | mean the consumers.
Loins and ribs make up about rs
per cent of the dressed meat animal.
Yet it is on that 25 per cent that a
great part of the demand is concen-
trated. When demand is heavy for
any commodity which is available in
relatively small quantity, the obvious
effect on eprice does not necessitate
statement.
Many cuts of meat--meat that is
wholesome, meat that is rich in food
value, meat that is thoroughly palat-
able when properly prepared-is SELL
ing at low prices. Let's buy. No ia
BILE is disgraced by a savory stew, a
good pot roast, which will appeal to
the normal appetite. If you do not
believe corn beef is tasty and popular,
pick up a luncheon menu in some ho-
tel and scan it. All of these dishes,
and many others can be made from
meat cuts selling at relatively low
prices. They may not be available az
your retailer now, but if you and your

HOME DEMONSTRATION NOTES
Laying Linoleum Directly on Wood
Floor.

Laying LinOieum Directiy on WOOD
Floor.
The floor should be perfectly dry
and clean, the surface smooth anc
even. Cracks should be filled, nails
removed, and uneven surfaces planeC
off if necessary.
/. Remove quarter-round floor
moulding from base boards all around
room.
2. Cut linoleum, trimming it from
Ia to l-2 inch short at each end, just
so the edges of linoeum will be COW
cred by the moulding when it is re-
placed. Along side walls, the linole-
UNI should not be placed tight against
the Dashboard, but, as at the ends. a
space of IA to 1-2 inch being left.
The edges of linoleume at seams, how
ever, should be butted tightly against
each other.
3. Replace quarter-round moulding
but do not fasten it down tight against
the surface of the linoleum. The
moulding should be nailed to the
Dashboard in such manner as to per-
nit the lifting out Of the linoleum,
should retrimming become necessary.
A. Should "buckle" or air bubble
develop in the linoleum, it must be
smoothed out and the edge under the
moulding trimmed.
5. Do not put any brads in the lin
oleum during the expansion period"
| In many cases it may not be neces-
sary to fasten linoleum to the floor at
all, when it has been laid under the
quarter-round moulding at sides and
ends.
When it becomes necessary to fasten
linoieum to the wood floors, use No
IS, "a inch wire brads. Never use
carpet tacks. From the edges, the
brads should be set in one-eighth to
one-fourth inch, and should be spaced
about four inches apart. Along the
seams, they should be spaced inches
apart. The brads should be driven
down until they are lost in the surface
Of the linoleum.
Care of Linoleums.
Certain washing powders and wash
ing soaps should never be used on lin
oleums, as they contain caustic, or al
kali, which cat into the surface and
destroy the coors. A good rule is not
to sue soda, I've, potash, strong soaps
or powders of any kind. A good, mild
soap is all that is necessary.
Going over the linolcum once a day
with an oiled mop will usually keep it
bright and free from spots. When
washing is necessary, use a mild soap
and luke-warm water-not hot. Wash
about a yard at a time and rinse it
with clear water and then dry it
thoroughly. Never flood" the sur
face with water.
If you want your linoleum to last
longer, to keep brighter in color, and
to be more easily kept clean, go over
the surface every five or six weeks
with some good floor wax or polish
such at "Johnson's Prepared Wax"
"Old English Wax, or any other good
floor wax.
A good homemade polish is easily
prepared by dissolving slowly equal
parts, by weight, of bceswaX and tur-
pentine. Care must be taken to pre-
vent the mixture from taking fire
while being prepared. When cool,
take little on cloth and rub it into
the linoleum thoroughly, especially at
the point of greatest wear. Do not use
too much polish of any kind, but rub
it in well.
After such waxing and polishing,
linoleum is very easily kept clean.
Usually wiping with damp cloth is
sufficient.
