Grow Succession Crops In The
Garden.

To get the best results from a gar
den, the land should be kept constant
ly producing thruout the season.
Whenever an early crop is removed a
later one should be grown in its place,
according to horticulturists at the u
University of Missouri College of Ag-
ricuture. The following crops may
be of the same species or of a diff
ferent species. A succession of rad
ishes may be grown on the same
ground by r~eseeding parts of the row
as fast as the radishes are used. Let
tuce may be grown in the same way.
In the southern part Of the state an
early crop of potatoes may be follow
ed by a potato crop for winter. Seed
from the first crop may be used to
plant the second. Early sweet corn
may be followed by winter cabbage
or celery set in early July or by tur-
nips sown broadcast the last of July.
Beets, particularly in this climate, be-
come woody with age and lose their
crispness and sweet flavor. Those to
be started for winter should not be
planted earlier than the first of July.
Carrots >are a delicious garden veget-
able when young. One reason why
they are not more often grown fol
winter storage is because they are
usually planted in early spring, and
by autumn they become so woody as
to be unpalatable. Carrots for keep
ing over winter Should be started in
July.
Where good tillage is given, the

Time For Less Begging.

Never was there a time in the his
tory Of the United States, when there
were so many appeals for aid.
The cry comes from all over the
country and from various parts of
the Old World. Money is required,
we are told, to relieve the urgent ne
cessities of the penniless and starv-
ing people of different nations who
have been reduced to extremeties by
the war.
We are told that it is the duty of
rich America to relieve the wide
spread suffering. We have been hear
ing this for some time; we have be-
lieved it and acted accordingly. For
years we have been helping the n
fortunate of other lands.
The question is, how long is this
sort of thing going to last? Is it GO
ing to keep up indefinitely as it is
at present? If it dies, can the Amer
lean pocket stand it?
In these days, the high cost of liv-
ing causes a heavy drain on the in
comes of most persons. Wages have
advanced, but are hardly yet catch
ing up with increased prices.
Taxes have taken a big jump. Add
ed to the federal income tax, is the
state income tax. Then the govern
ment at Washington adds a few cents,
for its support, to the cost of so-called
Injuries. The budgets in this and
other states are larger this year. Mu-
inequalities are more heavily taxed.
When the average mar has paid his
taxes, provided for his own needs and
those of his family, and met the calls
for help, at home and elsewhere,
which he feels cannot be ignored, how
much is left? Not a great deal, by
any means. Sometimes there is moth
ing left. Sometimes there is a def
cit, and it has been found necessary
to borrow money or dip into rainy day
savings.
Docs the Old Word appreciate all
that America has been doing for il?
Hardly. Every now and then some
comment is made which indicates in
gratitude, some fault is found because
we have not been doing more.
After all, Americas first duty is
to America. We need not feel that
we must continue to give until we
have impoverished ourselves. Here
at home there is plenty of charitable
work to be done, but it is evident
that the people overlook this fact and
give millions into the hands Of PEG.
pie who may use the money for the
purposes Intended or they may not.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1920-04-16

At home, colleges are asking for
money to put up new buildings, to
establish new scholarships to
strengthen courses, TO pay better sal
aries-all worthy purposes. Churches
are passing the hat for work which
we are informed should be done, and
very likely should.
But the colleges probably could get
along with less than they ask; the
churches might manage with smaller
funds than they are seeking, by put
ting greater enthusiasm into the work
to make up for the shortage of dol
lars. After all, enthusiasm, earnest
ness and determination count more
than money, and are absolutely as
sential to real success.
The man who is burdened by taxes,
by household expenses, by the thou
sand and one calls upon him for ex-
%penditure, needs a little relief.
The trouble is that the weight does
not fall upon the reckless spenders,
whose money could be used for so
much better purpose. They + too
selfish to respond to the appeals for
aid. 1t is the earnest, conscientious
people, who are trying to do their
duty in this world, from whom the
funds come to fill the outstretched
hands.
We should begin to retrench all
around, in the cost of government,
natio:al, state and municipal, in ex-
penditures for this movement or that
his philanthropy or that; we should
slow up the pace, and see whether
we cannot do without some of the
things for which there is such a de-
mand. We should think seriously
whether the point is not approaching
at which Europe ought to work out
her own salvation, without so much
help from us. We must give the man
who sees his money going fast, and
feels hal he can't very well stop it,
an opportunity to check this outward
flow.
Charity begins at home and it is
time that begging for the poor of
other countries was stopped.--Ex-
change.

We have visited the County Offices

the officers efficient; we are glad to

County Superintendent of Schools and
the County Collector. We would
recommend that the Collectors Office
be supplied with a new safe, as the
one now in use seems to be made
quate. We hope that as fast as the
County Court can provide for it, that
the offices of the Circuit and County
Clerks be furnished and equipped in
a more modern manner. We would
also recommend that the roller shelv-
es be installed in the vault of the
Circuit Clerks Office.

SAVE INCUBATOR CHICKS
Ten Hints from the University
of Wisconsin.

Many incubator chicks may be saw
ed if the simple brooder hints sug-
gested by Duncan Reid of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin College of Ag-
riculture are followed. Here are his
suggestions:
l. Clean out and disinfect the
brooder. Any of the coal-tar prepar.
atoms on the market make excellent
disinfectants.
2. See to it that there are no cor.
ners in the brooder where the chicks
might crowd in and perhaps be smoth.
cred, A round interior is best and
may be obtained by lining the brood
er with heavy building paper.
8. Start the lamp at least twenty.
four hours before putting the chicks
in.
A. Handle little chicks carefully
when putting in brooder. They may
be put in as soon as they are dry
and fluffy, which is usually when they
are btween "a and SO hours old.
5. Finely chopped up alfalfa or clio
yer makes better bedding than saw.
dust or shavings. Lite chicks like
to pick and scratch.
6. Watch the chicks for any nee.
essary regulation of temperature. II
the chicks huddle around the lamp
increase the temperature regardless
of what the thermometer says. On the
other hand if the chicks run outside
a good deal, turn down the lamp.
7. Feed the chicks FIVE times a day.
A small handful of any chick feed at
each feeding scattered on their backs
is sufficient for fifty chicks.
8. Buttermilk makes the best drink
for little chicks. If buttermilk is
not available, keep fresh water be-
fore them at all times.
8. Keep the brooder clean.
10. Get the chicks outdoors as soon
as the ground becomes dry enough.
Exercise prevents leg weakness.

tant mid Western morality. And, as
usual, where there is moral fervor
thought is unnecessary. Immoral
persons approaching Mr.. Whites
proposal from a purely reasonable
point of view might find some diff
Guilty in carrying it out. The Reds
deported On the Buford were sent
back to the place of their nativity;
logically, then, Governor Smith ought
to be sent back to Oliver Street and
Mr.. Barnes compelled to stay in AL
bany. Would this satisfy Emporia i?
We fear not.
The Constitution is the Constitu-
ton and notification is notification
this profound doctrine reminds one of
Walt Whitman's definition, cited by
Mr.. Howell's, that a poet is a maker
who makes poems. But what is null
LITIGATION, aside from being nullifca-
ton? The Constitution, in its Eigh-
tenth Amendment, says that Con-
gress and the States have concurrent
power to provide for prohibition en-
forcement. The Governors of New
York and New Jersey are giving to
the word concurrent" as yet unde-
fined by the Supreme Court, an inter-
probation which "a certainly held
and expressed by some of the Con-
gressmen who framed the Eighteenth
Amendment. The Volstead act is not
yet as immutable as the laws of the
Modes and Persians; and if the Con-
stitution is the Constitution and null
LITIGATION is notification, it is fair to
assume that concurrent is concurrent.
But perhaps Governor Edwards is
to be deported for advocating the re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amendment.
Such repeal, of course, would change
the Constitution, and, as Mr.. White
says, the Constitution is the Consti-
tuition. Immoral Fasteners, cling
ing to the filthy rags of worldly logic,
might wonder why the effort of Mr..
White and his friends to pass the
woman suffrage amendment is not e.
qually an attempt to change the Con-
s~titution and just as worthy of pun
.shment by deportation; but the diff
ference is clear to the moral Middle
West. The Constitution may be
changed for a moral purpose, but not
for any other.
However, the most determined OPP
position of the suffrage amendment
would not want to deport Mr.. White
10 Emporia. We like to hear him re-
proach us with our crimes; and there
IS a deeper reason. A young woman
of pale rose radicalism, born in Kan
sas but resident in New York, was re-
Gently protesting against the depor-
tation of the Russian Reds on the Bu-
ford. IF they keep on deporting
radicals to the countries of their
"origin," she remarked, "they may
get down to me; and if they sent
me back to Kansas it would kill
me" Nobody would behave so
cruelty and unusually toward the val
