Washington, D. Gin connection
with the conviction of Senator Tru-
man H. Newberry of Michigan for con
spring to commit election fraud, and
the imposition of a sentence Of two
years in prison, it is now matter Of
comment in Washington that defeat
Of ratification of the peace treaty was
due to the presence of Senator New
berry in the Senate.
The slender majority gained by Sem
ator Newberry's presence in a seat
which the Michigan court has adjudg-
ed him guilty of obtaining by criminal
practices, enabled the Republicans to
organize the Senate and control all
the committees. 1t enabled Senator
Lodge and other Republicans to pack
I the Foreign Relations Committee
against the peace treaty and President
Wilson, and thereby made it possible
to load down the treaty with destruc-
tive reservations, which, after many
months of wearying debate, resulted
lin the defeat Of ratification.

H. S. Saturday
Service LEAGUE

AUBURN, Ala, April 23.-It will
be recalled that during the war a
movement was started in Alabama by
the negro agents of the Alabama ex-
tension service looking TO the volun-
tary abandonment of the Saturday
holiday by the negro farmers of the
south. A systematic plan of registra-
ton of all who would promise to work
six days in the week for certain
definite period was adopted, the
movement having the Endorsement not
only of the Alabama extension SerV-
ice, but of the state council of de-
Tense.
In circular which has just been
issued by the Alabama extension
service, T. NJ. Campbell, district dem
onstraticn agent, "dskegee institute,
Alabama, estimates that under this
plan $4,000 negroes worked at least
tWenty-one continuous Saturdays.
equal to adding. $4,000 men to the
productive forces of the south, in
creasing the value Of products raised
about 100000
So effective and successful was
this work in the war emergency that
it has been decided to continue the
U. S. Saturday Service league during
peace times, with the slogan, by
working six days you helped win the
war; keep it UP now and you will
win prosperity" The plan includes
the formation of local branches of
the principal organization, with def

and stimulating each other in the

In a certain small town which needs
no name, live William Black and
John Smith. They are next-door
neighbors and good friends, al
though totally unlike in temperament
and disposition. Last year both of
them became convinced of the value
of backyard poultry flock and each
decided to install chickens in his own
spacious back yard to supply his
family with eggs and broilers.
Mr.. Black is the type of man who
always quotes when any one lifts an
eyebrow at some of his extravagant
purchases. that the best is always
cheapest in the end" Mr.. Smith, on
the other hand, believes that often
a cheaper article will serve the pur-
pose equally we'll and that the diff
ference in cost looks well in his saw
ingS account book.
Standardized Fowls Selected
When it came to selecting a flock
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Black were agreed
that standardized fowls would more
than pay for their increased initial
expense by producing more eggs than
with a local chicken strain. He was
to deliver the birds as soon as &C
commodatins were ready fir them
On the matter of housing, the pros
peetive poultry keepers held widely
divergent views. Mr.. Black hired a
carpenter at Sc a day to erect for
him a good-looking, nicely finished
poultry house. When the last coat of
paint was on it truly was, as his
high school son declared it to be, "a
work of art"
A house SO perfectly finished de-
manded the best of equipment, and
Mr.. Black bought it. The number
of things which he discovered, with
the aid of a salesman, that proper
ly brought up flock of chickens should
have was amazing to his family and
depicting to his purse.
Mr.. Smith, on the other hand, de-
cided that he could build his own
poultry house with the aid of his son.
He procured two piano boxes and
some smaller packing cases and they
set to work. Both were handy with
tools, and in a short time the piano
boxes had been converted into com
Portable. sanitary domicile for the
chickens.
The piano-box house had been To-
Gated in a corner of the yard where

Prune and Stake
Tomatoes, 1t Pays;
Don't Decay So Fast

CLEMSON COLLEGE, May
Many of the best home gardeners fol,
low the practice of pruning and
stalking tomatoes. Does it pay to
prune the vine to single stem and
tie them to stakes or trellises? This
is the question which many home
gardeners ask every year. 1t does
pay, according to George P. Hoff-
mann, extension service horticulture
list, especially if the garden space is
limited. Tomato plants left to them
selves have a hadn't of spreading all
over the garden and producing their
fruit right on the ground where it be-
comes covered with dirt every time
it rains, and is much more subject
to decay.
The chief advantages of pruning
and stalking tomatoes are:
1. A large number of plants can
be set on the given area.
2. The tomatoes ill ripen lit
tie earlier when 1I.ants are pruned
and staked.
8. The fruit is kept off the
ground, is clean, easy to gather, and
less likely to decay.
T. The uality of the fruit is
usually better on, plants that are
1t is true that individual plants
pruned and staked do not produce
so large a quantity of tomatoes as
when allowed to run on the ground,
but two or three times as many
plants can be set on the given area,
thereby actually increasing the
quantity of tomatoes produced from
that area.
