Of the flowers are rich in sugar and

on mats to dry In the sun. A single
tree will furnish 800 pounds of fow-

are very sweet and taste much like

London, Nov. pa plot to assissi-
nate Premier Lloyd George in cOnnec-
ti0n with the new wave of Irish vi0-
lence has been discovered, the Irish Of
flee has announced. Irish officials an
nOunced that documentary evidence
had been found and that the principals
probably will be arrested very soon.
Normal conditions have been re-
stored at Dublin after the bloody out
break Of assassination and reprisals on
Sunday, Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief
secretary for Ireland, announced in the
House of Commons.
Thirty-three persons were killed at
Dublin and elsewhere in Ireland over
the week end, 1t was officially an
nounced.
Disorder broke out In the House Of
Commons over the Irish announce
ments and the sitting was suspended.
Joseph Devlin, Irish leader, was the
center Of the disturbance. After fir
ing a number of questions at Premier
Lloyd George, he repulsed attempts to
pull him back into his seat.
Devlin was forced to the floor when
Major Wilson and other nearby mem
bers pulled him down as he clamored
for recognition.
The session was resumed and Will
son apologized to Devlin. The latter
accepted, adding he had no complaint
to make on the questions asked Lloyd
George as to the shooting Of Sim Fem
ers connected with the Dublin fight.
but that he did object to having his
own legitimate and supplementary
questions howled down.
The sending of additional troops to
Ireland is being seriously considered
at the war office.
Girls played a prominent part in the
disturbances in Ireland, according to
reports reaching London. A motor car
driven by a nurse, Linda Kerins, which
was proceeding toward Dublin, was
held up near Sligo and found to con-
tain ten rifles, four pistols and much
ammunition.
Another report said the men who
did the shooting were evidently strang-
ers In Dublin and some Of the squads
were led to spotted" houses by girls.
Three Of the assassins Of British Of
ficers in Dublin were captured red
handed with their arms, it was an
nounced in the House Of Commons by
Sir Hamar Greenwood, the chief sec
retary for Ireland. One of the assas-
sins had been wounded, he added.
Sir Hamar also gave details of the
finding Of revolvers and the crushing
to death of a man and woman, which
latter he regretted.
Sir Hamar declared in the House OF
Commons that plans Of paid assas-
SINS" discovered recently, included de-
struction of life and property in Eng
land as well as in Ireland.

TOMATO SEEDS ARE WASTED

From 1000 to 1900 tons Of tomato
seeds go to waste each year in the big
pulping plants east Of the Mississippi
river. Investigations by the United
States Department Of Agriculture indi-
cate that they can be probably re-
covered and converted into an edible

Certain diseases that affect cucum-

often deformed, mottled with green

dark green warts. The leaves turn
yellow and die. leaving stretches Of
white stalks.
Disease does not live in the soil,
but IL believed to be caused by virus
which lives over winter in the wild

Downy mildew is prevalent in the
eastern, southern. and to some extent
In the North Central states, west Of

parasite, and can be checked by timely
and thorough spraying with 4-4-5O bor-
deaux mixture.
