sand to encourage drainage and
perhaps a fourth part leaf mold"
if you can get it.
Place broken pieces of an old
pot in the bottom of the new,
empty pot, with a large broken
piece over the hole (this keeps the
hole from getting stopped up, yet
permits drainage). Now add bits
of charcoal to the pot or a layer of
common stove ashes. Next add a
layer of packing moss or of partly
decayed leaves (both these layers
should be about three-quarters of
an inch thick). These two layers
keep the roots from getting "water
logged" a disaster which causes
the death of many house plants.
The plant may next be put into
the pot, but not until the roots
have been loosened up a little. This
may be done by holding the bole
under water-tap and washing all
Of the old soil off; it is then easy
to loosen up the mass of fibers
with the fingers. Do not bruise the
roots, as this will cause them to
decay Gf you do so accidentally,
cut off the bruised root). And do
this work in place where there is
no wind. for the roots must not
become dry.
This done, set your plant on the
two drainage layers in the pot,
spread out the lower roots, and fill
the pot to within an inch of the
rim, packing it down with "a pot
ting stick. ct is best to put the
new soil through a coarse sieve. to
guard against Jumps. stones and
worms). AS each plant is repotted,
water it with fine rose spray and
set it in a shady place.
Do not forget to water your re-
potted plants frequently; the rain
is not enough. If it is possible,
sink each pot up to its rim in the
earth with a broken piece Of an old
pot beneath the hole to exclude
angle-worms.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A LEAKING VACUUM.
CFrom the St. Louis post-Dispatcl

(From the st. Louis Post -Dispatch)
Apropos of Secretary Hughes final pronounce
ment the state of Russia as economic
Vacuum in which he declared that the soyiets
at the most liberal estimates" have not more
than SIZE, 600 of gold in their possession it is
interesting TO note certain observations of Eugene
Szatmary correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
from Reval
That port he says is the only gateway for the
trade of Russia. And it is booming beehive of
commerce. OF 600 locomotives which have been
ordered in Germany and Sweden, 200 already have
been delivered. A thousand Russian locomotives
are being sent to neighboring countries to be re-
pared. Textile mills in Esthonia are working on
big orders for thread and goods. Large orders are
to be placed in German chemical and textile
plants. The goods bought by the Russian govern
ment In England to date amount to $500, 900, geo.
Already 6O0O0O,000 gold rubles, or more than
$4,000 10000, have been paid out by Ltvinoff TO
the sellers of goods to Russia. A Russian trade
mission, with detailed orders to buy materials,
machines and textiles, is about to start for Eng
land
Mr.. Hughes, by citing pre-war figures. declares
that our trade with Russia never amounted to any
thing. Perhaps it didn't. and perhaps that is a
good reason for predicting that it never will. But
somehow his economic vacuum seems to have
sprung leak. In any it is interesting to note
that the trade currents of the most economically
desoated regions of Europe are beginning again TO

i was not very much surprised
when the telephone rang to hear

me about 10 o'clock and wanted me

too.

Then suddenly came the thought

Should i mention the change from
the twenty dollars? I had spent 1t
all, but had my allowance still un-
touched, and l might offer to leave
it to chance. I would wait and see.

then told Norah she could take the
children to the park, Not that |

they were apt to be restless if
they missed their regular afternoon
outing.
1t was about 4 when Carol came.
He was very enthusiastic over the
apartment, and praised my cakes
and muffins unstintedly. He had
brought me some lovely flowers,
and after we had tea he smoked
while we visited for an hour. II
said nothing anent returning the
change.

Germany pays. She must pay.
May l was the due date. But Germany talked

Secretary OF State Hughes has very wisely re-
fused to allow Germany to drive a wedge between
this country and powers associated with her during
the war.
France can not be expected to bear the burden
of the distractions of war while Germany escapes

GERMANY MUST PAY.

Theodore Roosevelt, most ar-visioned of mod
ern American statesmen, said two and one half
years ago. There is only place where you will
ever make complete peace that will stick and
that place is Berlin"
That prophecy now appears to have been n
true forecast. 1t looks though it were soon to
be fulfilled
Germany made her solemn treaty obligation at
Versailles True they were exacted by froce, but 1t
was by the force generated to combat Germanys
own efforts to exact penalties by force. She chose
the arbitration of and must abide by the
means she chose There is no injustice in this.
IT would be impossible to exact too much from
Germany for the havoc she wrought to life and
property. But the penalty had to be measured by
Germanys ability to pay. She is certainly not en<
titled to be the judge of that The nations involved
determined this question and Germany acquiesced
That she finds it strain--even intoerable

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW,

New York. May 6.-Dun's to-
morrow will say:
A year has elapsed since the
economic readiustment began to
gather momentum and the process
is yet to be completed, Forces of
rehabilitation are now operative,
however, and the general outlook
is better. Gains are not easily
achieved and none at all appear
in some quarters. but the price and
wage revisions and the easing in
money are factors making for fur
ther improvement in conditions.
The strengthening of sentiment,
upon which business recuperation
so largely depends. has continued,
and confidence in a gradual revival
of activities finds more frequent
expression. Recovery has come
first in those trades and industries
which We're the first to react from
the boom of the war years and
afterward, and in isolated in
stances enough new demand has
developed to bring a rally in prices.
That such a phase remains the ex-
ception is demonstrated by the
continued excess of declines in
wholesale quotations.

REPOTTING THE HOUSE
PLANTS.

Window gardeners form them
selves into two classes-those who
believe that their house plants
should be repotted in the spring,
and those who believe this import
ant task should be performed in
the fall l belong to the first
named class.
When Summers warmth has
come to stay it is time to carry the
house plants. to a shady place out
of doors and put them into new,
sometimes larger, pots. 1t seems
better to place the plants in the
new soil Just before the growing
season rather than at its close
in this way giving them the sum
mer months in which to recover
from the repotting. rather than
doing this work just when the
plants must face the trying con-
ditions of the winter.
The proper way to loosen a plant
from It's pot is to knock the side or
the pot against something so as to
loosen the "bole" (the roots with
the earth surrounding them) from
the inside Of the pot. Never dig
into the soil about the roots before
taking off the pot. nor try to cut
the bole out of the pot by running
a knife around the edge of the pot
inside; such methods are apt to
injure the roots of plant.
What kind of soil shall we use
in the new pot? Almost every
gardener has his own perfect"
formula for a mixed potting soil.
Grandmother went out into the
pasture, removed a piece of sod,
and used the rich earth beneath it
for her pots. If you cannot get
such soil as this. use the soil from
a garden which was feFtilized last
heavy, you should add to it a little

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, May 6.--Anxiety over
the crop outlook in the southwest
and in regard to scantiness of sup
plies at terminal markets led to a
new bulge today in the price of
wheat. The finish although un-
settled was &c to 4c net higher,
with May $1.48A to $l.4S1s and
July $I17 to $1.17A. .
Corn gained Nc to &c to 8c,
oats &c to 1c and provisions 10c
to soc.
Dry weather in Kansas and Ok
lahoma added to the misgiVings
which had %been aroused by mes
sages from field experts saying that
throughout large districts the
wheat crop looked unhealthy and
promised to become worse. The
bullish sentiment thus engendered
lifted the market to $3.50 for May,
a rise of more than Csc a bushel
compared with prices at one time
last week. Rapid fluctuations,
however, took place on today's
advance and there was considerable
reaction in the final half hour
gossip being current that rural Of
,ferings had increased somewhat
and that export demand had been
checked. Nevertheless. the great
er part of the days advance was
held, and the smallness of the vis-
ible supply continued to attract
notice.
Corn and oats derived most of
their strength from wheat, but at
tention was also given to bullish
reports concerning oats, On the
other hand it was said Germany
would buy Danubian corn after
May Is instead of American,
Provisions were lifted by the
upward swing of hogs and the
markets for grain.

WALL STREET


New York. May 6.-The stock
market made further forward
strides today on q volume and a
variety of operations which ap-
preached the maximum business of
any session thus far this year but
reacted variably at the finish. The
Gays news was sufficiently con-
structive to discourage resumption
of short selling, where it did not
actually compel covering of exist
ing contracts.
Passing of the quarterly dividend
on American Smelling common
was almost the sole adverse devel-
opment Of the day. Because of
recognized conditions in the metal
industry, however, the effect was
not pronounced.
Further reduction of re-discount
rates by federal reserve banks and
the opinion of Secretary Mellon
that the, country had passed the
stage of liquidation, confirmed the
more hopeful advices received by
leading financial interests. The
strength and prominence of rails,
which again led the movement of
advances of one to five points, con-
stituted the most reassuring fea-
ture of the trading and probably
presaged the early adjustment of
wages and freight rates. s@
Oils, especially the Mexican divi-
sion, displayed consistent strength
and some shippings were bene-
fitted by the rise in rails. Sugars
and tobaccos overshadowed all
other specialties. but realizing sales
caused some readjustment and con-
fusion at the close. Sales amount
ed to 1.150,000 shares.
Domestic money rates.were un-
changed, but foreign remittances
were active, especially the French
and Belgian rates. these rising to
highest quotations since the close
of the war. The British rate eased
slightly, but Dutch and italian bills
were sustained by demand for
francs.
Speculative bonds of the railroad
division continued to keep pace
with the demand of stocks of. that
class. International = issues were
mostly firm. but the Liberty group
