CULTIVATION OF EGGPLANTS AND
 SWEET PEPPERS

The eggplant Is ono of the most
 desirable vegetables for the home
 garden. It is difficult to grow good
 plants to set out unless one has a.
 greenhouse. as the seeds require
 high temperature to germinate,. and
 qnently, it is best for the average
 amateur to buy the potted plants
 ready to set out
 Buy dozen or more pot-grown plants of one of these varieties:
 Black Beauty, New York Improved
 Spiheless. Set out in June, when
 ground has warmed up, in rich soil, feet apart in the row. Wrap a cardboard around each stalk to pre- vent injury by flea beetles and potato beetles. Hoe soil surface often and bring some soil up around each plant; or mulch heavily with fresh grass or lawn trimmings If any fruits touch the ground. tie stems with rags to small stakes. Gut fruits off carefully when rnatured.
 Flea beetles and adult potato beetles attack eggplants persistently. Keep all surfaces of11eaves and stems covered with arsenattof lead or Bor- deaux arsenate from the hour the plants are set out
 Sweet Peppers.
 There are two groups of peppers the sweet pepers or mangoes and the hot pepers or cayenne peppers. The | sweet peppers are the more desirable 1 for home gardens Select one of these varieties: Pimento, Raby Bell, Ruby King. Pimento is the best variety The pepper is a arm-season crop. i sensitive to frost Good pot-growu plants are offered by the larger seed houses. Transplant the pepper plants | in the garden. Line the rows IS inches | apart and set the plants Is inches i apart. Hoe once a week and mound | a little soil around the base of each l stem as the plant grows, to hold 1t l erect. If the plants are in danger of l blowing over, tie each with rags or l raffia to a stake thrust into the ! ground beside the stem. Cut off the l fruits as they reach the desired ma
 turity-green or ripe-red-leaving an | inch of stem on each fruit. If es- l pecial1y large fruits are desired, pinch off the ends of the branches
 after the first blossoms have set.

LEAGUE QUESTION WE'LL ON WAY
 TO ADJUSTMENT
,Continued from Page one.


 Many uncontroverted blanks were
 practically complete. Among these
 were commendatfon of many acts of
 the Wilson administration, the execu-
 tive bureaus and the records of the
 Democrats in Congress, together with
 attacks on the Republican legislative
 course. The Virginia platform en-
 dorsed by President Wilson and
 brought to San Francisco hy Senator
 Glass; was said to have furnished the
 basis for declarations readily agreed
 to regarding the general the princi-
 pies of the party.
 Senator Glass sat as chairman of the subcommittee and his advocacy of administration policies was sec onded by Secretary Colby. A major ity of the other members were re- garded as administration supporters and the chief objector to the blanket endorsement of the League of Nations desired by the administration was said to be Senator Walsh of Montana, who voted in the Senate to take the Re- publican reservations.
 Some administration members were said to be for outlining directly in the platform the sort of reservations ithat should not be considered as nulll- . fying the league covenant, while 1 others wanted merely a blanket de- claration for ratification without de 1 structive reservations Tho who ar gued for a bill of particulars declared one easily could be found in the ! speeches of the president last fall when he told many western audiences he would not object to reservations re-statins what he considered already was in the covenant
 The platform committee members 1 considered most likely to start trou- ble in the full committee were w J. | Bryan, Senator Walsh of Massachu setts, and ". Bourke Cochran of New York All of them were left out oi the little circle of nine, and all o1 them had ideas that they said the full committee and perhaps the con- vention itself would have to consider Bryan's principal fight was to be waged for an affirmative dry declar- ation which he already had drafted | but declined to submit to the sub | committee A league plank omit | ting any pledge to ratify the treaty was to be the vehicle of Senator Wa1sh's fight and recognition for the I Irish republic was to be asked by Cochran.
 | That the subcommittee would ap- | prove some sort of positive deciara- 1 ton for the treaty's ratification was 2 l foregone conclusion. What might be | done about Ireland was differen question but one suggestion was tha | 8, plank might be recommended de claring that the Irish problem should be brought before the bar of the | League of Nations

PROVERBS THAT FIT SEASON
Many Have Highly Important Bearing
on Vital Issues Which the
World Is Facing.

Many a proverb has special bear
ing on the issues with which we shall
have to deal during the coming year.
Thus, as bearing on the vital issues
of the peace settlement our ancestral
philosophers, proverb makers, remind
us:
We should consult three things in
all our actions-justice, honesty and
utility.
Justice is the rightful sovereign of
the world.
Charity excuseth not cheating,

punish the guilty.

Billie Brownie was dressed up to look
