PLANTING AID
VISEK'S WORK

Ideally, the qualifications of plant
ing adviser should be: A broad ac-
quaintance with plant varieties, a
knowledge of their conditions and re-
quirements particularly under city
conditions, and some appreciation Of
their esthetic values. He should know
the native varieties and further ascer-
tain the local hardness of the better
foreign plants. He should study the
soil conditions in the streets and the
probable future needs of the city as
to kind of tree planting.
The study and advice of the plant
ing adviser should include the plant
ing of streets, parkways, squares,
parks or other public properties. He
may be an outside professional advis-
er, a planting expert, or landscape
architect; for small towns it is unlike
ly that anyone properly qualified
could be found locally; but where pos
sible the planting adviser should be
personally familiar with the ground
and constantly in touch with the work.
He would naturally give his advice OF
ficially to whatever branch of the
municipal government he was respon-
sible for the public planting In some
cases this would mean advising sever
al different branches of the executive
organiZation.-Lan Architec-
ture.

THE CONGRESS
RESPONSIBLE

People who complain of the extra
vagance of the government should not
overlook the fact that no dollar is
paid out by any administrative Off
GER except one which has been appro-
priated by the vote of both houses of
congress. On the congress, therefore,
is the place to apply the brakes. That
body, like all other public and quasi
public sources of disbursement, finds
it difficult to break away from the
habit of spending on a war scale. In
this connection, and as having a real
bearing on the matter, it has been OBJ
served that it is difficult to get
quorum in congress to pass the ex-
travagant appropriation bills that are
being passed. The congressman evil
IDENTIFY seek to dodge personal respon-
sibility in this way. The regular ap-
preparation bills no longer indicate the
actual money appropriated. So-called
deficiency bills" are being passed al
most as regularly as the annual ap-
preparation bills. Two recently passed
more than 500, 900; two
others are already under way. These
deficiency appropriation bills are not
passed to pay debts incurred They
are passed like all the others, to ena-
BILE the administrative arm of the
government to spend that much more
money. They cover deficiencies in ap-
preparations not excess of expendi-
lures above the sums carried in the
so-called regular appropriation bills.
New Workers are sometimes thought
to be egotistical in their mental atti-
tude toward other places; if this is
true, they will find a lesson in this
anecdote published in the "Ameri-
can Legion Weekly"

Signs Of a Fall in Prices

+
To all careful observers Of the
markets, there is evident feeling in
business circles that, for the time at
ANY rate, prices of commodities in gen.
@ral are "on the turn" This feeling
Is not derived from the insistent dis
cussion Of "deflation" at all meetings
of trade and economic associations, or
Xro2n the general talk Of enforced econ
Onnlcs among consumers. What we
are getting now is tangible evidence
that the upward trend of prices in
many industries has been reached;
that, in commercial vernacular, condi-
stsons are passing from those of a
sellers market" to those Of "buy-
ers' market" and, in particular, that
plans of prudent business men for the
autumn season must be made with
view to possible falling prices.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1920-06-02

market reports have more recently
told of a decided decline in certain
commodities such as silk and of a dis
tinctly easier market for even such
necessaries as boots and shoes. Even
in the matter of clothing, all reorts
have lately emphasized the increasing
tendency of consumers to make last
years purchases do for another year,
and the consequent decrease of de-
mand.
Now none of these indications is
new, and nearly all of them have been
visible, in large part of the country,
since 1918. Even the prevalent predic-
ton Of a general and rapid fall in
prices is no more in evidence than it
was in the three months following the
armistice. AS matter of fact, the
decline did occur during the period,
but only to be followed by renewed
advance, which has continued until this
month Two or three months ago the
government commissioner of labor
statistics wrote in an official bulletin
that, with foreign as well as home con-
ditions what they were in the matter
of industrial production and paper cur
rencies, he could see "no prospect of
any considerable fall in prices for sew
eral years to come" What, then, has
happened to change the situation?
For one thing, we should say, the
mere fact of the further rise in prices
and cost of living as compared both
with last December and with year
ago. Every additional advance neces-
sarily adds to the number of people
who will reduce their ordinary pur-
chases or do without. This tendency,
inevitable in any case with progress
sive rise in living costs, has been
greatly emphasized by this seasons
marking-up of rents.
But beyond these influences operat-
ing as a check to the advance, there
must also be considered the disappear
ance Of certain highly important coun-
ter-influences which prevailed last
year. The consumer of older DAYS was
reducing his purchases, even then; but

When to Cultivate Corn

The best answer to the question of
how frequently corn should be culti-

States Department of Agriculture, is
that it should be cultivated often en-
ough to keep down weeds and to main
tain constantly a loose soil mulch till
the corn has attained its growth. To

The Most Welcome Tire
That Ever Came to Market
Speculative Values Prefer The Brunswick

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: "How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
Germ noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1845-has once
more proved that it's policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skimping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization Of
dire makers includes a brilliant staff
of technical experts. Not a man

intervals of about a week cause the
surface soil to run together and crust.
This crust must be broken and the
soil mulch restored, or excessive run

Promptness in restoring the soil
mulch after rain is important. With
double cultivaters widened and by
driving astride each alternate row, the
mulch is restored in half the time nee

/ Each is master of his craft.
And the new ideas they bring to
the attention of Brunswick direc-
tors receive sincere consideration.
Every proved betterment is
adopted unanimously.
The Brunswick Tire is a conbi-
nation of acknowledged features
plus Brunswick standards of manu-
facture.
The result is super-tire, the like
of which you have never known be-
fore. The kind of tire you will
gladly join in welcoming.

TYLERTOWN NEGRO
is LYNCHED BY MOB
White Woman, Killed AS He
Faced Trial

Tylertown, Miss, Nov 23.-While
judge, prosecuting attorney, members of
the grand jury and even the husband
and father of the victim of the prison
er pleaded for patience, a mob today
stormed the courthouse here where Har-
ry Jacobs, negro, self-confessed as
sailant of Mrs. Ollie Dillon, was on
trial and, after dragging the black thru
the streets and out into the country,
tied to an automobile, lynched him.
During the lynching, Cleveland
Strange, of Jayess, a member of the
mob, accidentally shot himself with a
pistol which he was using to club the
negro, and is in a local hospital suf-
fering from a wound in the abdomen.
He is believed to be in a critical con-
dition.
Early this morning crowds began to
gather in the streets here, coming from
every section of the countryside, while
many men were noticed who are resi-
dents of other counties.
They formed in groups in the streets
near the courthouse and it soon was
evident from their behavior that they
were bent on lynching Jacobs, whose
trial had been called for today.
promptly at 900 o'clock court was
called to order by Judge D. M. Miller,
