MANURE is BEST FERTILIZER
Contains Plenty Of Humus and All
Other Necessary Plant Foods
Add Acid Phosphate.

HHhE A
The home gardener who can get a
load of w%ell-rotted stable n need
not worry about fertilizer, anyone who
has ever done any gardening is well
aware.
Manure contains humus in plenty
and all the necessary plant materials,
as we'll as bacteria which put these
materials into the most disable shape
for crops. To get the full benefit Of
stable manure, however, it should be
balanced with acid phosphate, which
is comparatively inexpensive, garden
ers at the Iowa state college of agri-
culture say.
An application Of n ton of stable
manure, which is about an average
two-horse load, is not too much for a
garden 80 by 60 feet, and so pounds
of acid phosphate may be used with it.
Fresh stable manure should not be
applied in the spring. 1t contains too
much readily available nitrogen and
may cause in some plants a growth
of stems and leaves at the expense of
fruits. This is especially true of to
matoes.

Ex- KAISER WRITES
or CAUSES Of WAR
Cites Historical Data to Show an
Alleged World Plot Against
Germany

1890 Ssssdsa
Former Emperor William Of Ger
many has written for private distribu-
ton a book by which he attempts to
show that England was responsible for
the World war. In the volume he has
collated historical facts and data rel
alive to international agreements be-
tween all countries involved In the
war from 1884 to 1914, and these have
been marshaled in parallel columns by
Count Hohenzollern, says the newspa-
per Het Volk.
The ex-kaiser declares England's re-
sponsibility for the war conferred in
her .plot to isolate Germany" and re
fers to 'the mobilization of England
banks in April, 1914, preparations for
war by the British fleet in June, the
same year, and the Russian mobiliza-
ton of forces on July 15.'
'"Thus," says the newspaper, "the
former emperor tries to find adherents
for the theory that allied mobilization
made it impossible for Germany to pre-
vent the war"
The former monarch worked on the
book many months, carefully getting
up a table of dates, intending to show
merely by their marshaling that the
worlds history during the 80 years
leading up to the war showed better
than comment a world plot against
Germany. Among other things, the
book is said to cite the American-Ger-
man-British incident in Manila bay
during the Spanish-American war, in
which Admiral Dewey's action in fore
ing the Germans to observe neutrality
was backed up by the British fleet in
the bay, as showing a long alliance be-
tween the British and Americans.
French, British and Russian treaties
are cited by dates and quotations, to-
gether with incidents such as that Of
Agadir, Morocco.
knowledge that the book was being
prepared has been current in Holland
for some time and the Het Volk re-
ports that a copy of the manuscript
fell into the hands of one Of the for
mer emperor's Dutch acquaintance.
Seventy copies of the book were
printed and distributed for private
reading to those the author thought
he could trust. Among the recipients
were several royalties, including the
Dutch Prince Consort, each of whom
was warned the former emperor would
be extremely d%ispleased if the book
we're made public.

Concerning the Mknocker.n

The appeal to smite the "knocker''
unfortunately is timely almost at any
time, and in any community in the
United States. 1t. has been said that
al! kinds Of people are required to
make the world and apparently a few
kill-joys cannot be avoided even in
comparatively small bodies of popu-
lation. Indianapolis has no more than
its normal proportion, although some
Of the lot may be inordinately me
getic, but even with all their activity
they are relatively harmless. They
are more annoying than hurtfuI and
should be squelched more as public
nuisances than as tletriments to the
community.
Such is human nature that it Is easy
to get many people to listen to scan
dal OF calumny, even though they do
not believe what is said and have no
respect for the source from which it
comes. The "knocker" generally is
pigmy-minded and has nothing to say,
that would be worth hearing. His
only hope to get attention is to repeat
some bit of ~disparaging information
he has heard or to malign and abuse
those whose names r sufficiently
prominent in official, business or other
circles to attract notice to his vapor-

DANCED HIMSELF TO DEATH
Young Frenchman Chose to Die Rather
Than Miss Waltz With Sweetheart

The great love which Gustave Ire
boux, son Of a rich French banker,
bore for the girl he once had hoped
to marry led him to choose death In
q last waltz with her.
Treboux was an inmate of a sani-
tarium at Leysin, France, and the
girl, Mile. Germaine Ledoux, came to
see him as he lay In bed. Mile. Lee
doux told him that evening there was
to be a dance at the hotel nearby. He
asked the doctor if he could waltz
with the girl he loved.
Eyes, if you want to commit SUI
icide," was the Doctors reply.
Treboux said nothing, but in the
evening he got out of bed, dressed,
called for Germaine and went to the
dance. He waited till the orchestra
began to play a waltz, took. the girl
in his arms, and together the two
Joined the dancers.
AS the dance ended Treboux stag
gered and fell on a sofa, blood pour
ing from his mouth. AS the girl bent
over him he fell back dead.

Perhaps the highest keynote Of
Memorial day, either in this country
or abroad, was struck at Suresnes,
the high hill under the guns of Mt. VAL
erien, overlooking the city of Paris.
to which President Wilson went last
Memorial day to pay his homage to
the several thousand American dead
buried there. The first American mon
.ument abroad authorized by the War
department was set up at Suresnes.
France, last year, and unveiled as a
part of the Memorial day observance.
The statue, then a plaster cast Of
heroic size. IS the copy and conception
of the typical American infantryman
by Joe Davidson, the American sculp-
tor. AS finally done in granite 1t will

the Memorial day exercises engaged in
by French and Americans last year.
tahe our place next year, and in all
the years to come. There will be flow
ers upon these graves this year.
Gradually the cemetery became de-
serted except for a few who fingered.
A group of marines stood about the
grave Of a comrade very dear. Its
marker was Of stone and bore these
words: "A true soldier beloved of his
comrades At one side a lad stood
weeping and told us that his brother
fell beyond the German lines.
Madame Gounelle, Georges and his
mother came and talked with us. Love
and sympathy shone in their faces as
they told us of the honor hat was
theirs in caring for these graves. I
thought of Georges letter and his offer
of the friendship of "a little French
man." Deep in our hearts there will
live forever a memory of this little
~Frenchman."
1t was just the loving kindness of a
kindly people and was thus, no matter
where we went. Pilgrimages to the
cemeteries at Suresness. Chalons,
Fismes, Chatel-Guyon only served to
deepen our gratitude to them.
Oh, Mothers of America, you need
not fear. Again the mother hearts in
France will leap the wide expanse Of
sea and utter a prayer for you as they
drop their flowers upon our graves this
year.
And above those glorious crosses,
wherever they may be, ever floats Old
Glory. as she whispers to the breeze:
called them and they followed;
! guard them in their sleep.
