states. While we have al
ways believed that Jack Frost was the
arch enemy Of plant life, and that If 1t
were not for him we would have flow
ers and fruits and grass perhaps all
the year round, the scientists now tell
us that Jack is in the main a benefi-
cent old fellow.
They admit that If he comes too
early or stays too late, his visit is like
ly to prove embarrassing. Yet if he did
not come at all, which means If we did
not have any cold weather, the ma
jority Of plants in our northern Iati-
tudes would show slow growth in the
spring. 1t is hard to believe that the
effect Of cold is to stimulate rather
than retard plant growth, but that is
what we are now informed actually
happens. Experts of the Department
of Agriculture are responsible for this
revolutionary theory. They back up
the theory with the results of numer-
GUS experiments, however, and results
are what count.
One fact stands clear in these ex-
perimentS-the dormant condition of
certain plants In winter is not the re-
suit of cold and freezing; moreover,
cold stimulates the revival of life in
the plant when spring comes. Such
an explanation of the effect of cold is
new to the everyday reader, who is
used to looking upon winter air as det-
rimental to plant life, forcing the
shrub into a dormant state scarcely
better than death. But healthy, husky
blueberries which were in govern
ment greenhouse "went to sleep" just
the same, despite the fact that the air
was kept at growing temperature.
The shrubs, it is true. did not go to
bed so early as they did when Jack
Frost used to hurry them off, and in
the warm greenhouse the plants went
into a dormant condition exactly like
that of others outside in the cold and
snow. Moreover, they were late in
waking when spring came. Some, in
deed, slept through the whole year.
The inference is that the plants pc
riod of dormancy is a seasonal matter
not induced by the cold, but that the
early and luxuriant growth cannot oc-
cur unless the plant has been through
period Of chill temperature.
Two interesting experiments were
conducted with blueberry plants as
proof of this. In the middle of Feb
ruary blueberry plant which had
shed its leaves and become dormant
in a warm greenhouse maintained at
temperature of 70 degrees was repot-
ted and set in the south end of the
greenhouse. small opening was
made in the glass. and through this
opening one of the two stems of the
plant was thrust, the open space about
the stem where 1t passed through the
glass being carefully plugged. During
the rest of the winter the plant re-
mained in the same position, the pot
and one stem continuing in the warm
temperature of the greenhouse, while
the other stem, projecting through the
glass, was exposed to the rigors of
winter, with its alternate freezing and
thawing. About the middle of April
the outdoor branch started into nor
NAL growth, while the indoor branch
continued dormant.
A modification of this experiment
was conducted at the same time with
another plant. In this case the plant

Rev. Whitwell's sermon last night
on "Three Hells" was masterpiece.
He told us that the first hell was the
hell that others made for us and gave
many illustrations of them. The sec
ond hell was the hell we make for our
selves in this world, the result of our
own sins which we suffer in this life.
The third hell was the hell was the hell
we make for ourselves in the next life
This last hell is endless and by far
the worst of Their three.

President Lions Club,
Liberal, Kansas.
Dear Sir:
Have you secured the landing field
that we discussed at the Lions Club
lunch during my stop in Liberal?
I can truthfully say from exper-
fence in cross-country flying through
the Middle West, that the field we
used for the Flying Frolic was, with
out doubt, the best | have had occa-
sion to use, and I certainly hope that
arrangements have been made so that
this field may be available for Army
Planes.
A new class of students have ar
rived at this field and during the lat
ter part Of their course here it will
be necessary that they make a num-
Der of long distance cross-country
flights; these flights will consist of
from eight to sixteen ships; it will
also be necessary that they remain
at these stations over night. feel
certain that Liberal will be used as
one of these stations if suitable field
and good gassing facilities can be
obtained.
Can this office be furnished with a
II print of your city, showing the
'ocatiol of the field; also other in
: rmatiol you may have pertaining
to aviation?
have not forgotten the hospital
Nv received mile in Liberal, and
.. is my sincere ne that we can
make your city Or of our CHIEF
I ntry stations.

BERLIN, April 29.-Leonid Krassin,
"Russia's best business man." has
been appointed ambassador to Ger
many by the soviet government and
will assume his duties in Berlin as
soon as he returns from the Genoa
conference, according to the Berlin
newspaper Der Tag. Germany's ann
bassador in Moscow will be Prof. VIE
denfeld, the present charge d'affaires.
These appointments, made In -
absence of both Foreign Commissar
Tchitcherin and Foreign Minister
Rathenau, seem to confirm the idea
prevailing throughout Europe that
the Russo-German treaty was not
only drafted but agreed on in every
respect long before the conference
opened. and was held over for the
purpose Of changing the course of
events at Genoa, thus foiliHg the in
tention Of the French to dictate the
program of the conference.
NJ. Krassin was long ago recognized
as the ablest business man in the
soviet government. and as such was
detailed to London almost two years
ago, when the soviets began their
first negotiations with Britain to re-
sumo trade relations. Before the war
he was the Russian manager for Sic
mems & Halske, the great German
electric company that practically con-
trolled Russia's electrical industry.
