When set in the spring, cabbage
seed should be started in hotbed or
greenhouse in February and in the
open ground as soon as the soil can be
worked. For a late crop in the North,
plant the seeds in a bed in the open
ground in May or June, and transplant
In the garden in July. Early cabbages
require a rich, warm soil in order that
they may mature early. For late cab
bages, the soil should be heavier and
more retentive of moisture and not so
rich as for the early crop, as the heads
are liable to burst. Cabbages should be
set in rows 80 to 36 inches apart anu
IA to IS inches apart in the row. Early
cabbages must be used soon after they
have formed solid heads, as they Will
not keep during hot weather. They
can, however, be used for making
sauerkraut.
cauIifoweA
Caulinower requires rich, moist
soil, and thrives best under irrigation.
It will not withstand as much frost
as cabbage. The culture is the same
as for cabbage, and the heads begin
to develop, after which the leaves may
be tied together over the heads in
order to exclude the light and keep the
heads white.
Brussels Sprouts.
Brussels sprouts are closely related
to cabbage and cauliflower, and, may
be grown in the same manner. In
stead Of a single head. brussels sprouts
form a large number Of small heads
in the axis Of the leaves. AS the
heads begin to crowd the leaves should
be broken from the stem Of the plant,
to give them more room. A few
leaves should be left at the top Of the
stem, where the new heads are being
formed. Brussels sprouts are more
hardy than cabbage, and in mild eli
mates may remain in the open ground
all winter, the heads being removed
as desired. For winter use In cold
localities, take up plants that are well
laden with heads and set them close
together in a pit, coldframe or cellar,
with a little soil around the roots.
The uses Of brussels sprouts are
similar to those Of cabbage, but they
are considered Of a superior flavor.

biological stations had an aggregate
area Of over $4,000 acres, with a value
Of $4,000. The improvements and
equipment at these stations repre-
sented an investment Of more than
$1,0OO.0OO. Other property Of the bu-
reau at that time included four sea.
going steam and sail vessels, 20 steam
launches and $50 small sail, power and
rowboats, which with equipment had
a value Of 100000. Its six f1sh-traDs-

Uncle Sam Takes a Tip

~ IE world is far from getting its big debauch
that started in 1914. They hope in Europe, and
they may be right, that they will manage to get
in their League of Nations with the help of intelligent
international bankers who profit all such transactions
One of those bankers, to the disgrace of the United
States, has been allowed to give his private house in
London the people of America home for the Amer
ican Ambassador.
If this country must have European palaces for its
ambassadors, it ought to buy them and pay for them,
not take tips from bankers that in take hundreds
of millions from the country.
If the country cannot afford to buy its embassies
then its ambassadors should live Benjamin Franklin
did when he in Europe. Lack of a private palace
did not make him exactly failure either in Paris
in London.
The United States nation sinks pretty low when it
allows international bankers, dealers in money producers
of nothing to regulate the international policies of the
Government and then adds to its humiliation the accept
ance of presents, less undesirable London resi-
dence from a banker that has taken hundreds of mil
lions in profit out of the people of the country
The Government perhaps hasn't the brains will
the character to prevent the exploitation by the bankers
But would not take brans will character only little
self respect to protect this country from taking inter
national bankers tips Uncle Sam ought not to stand be-
fore the world beggar, taking presents from those
that exploit him, for that makes him out idiot well
as grateful beggar

Let Us Curb
Opium, Curse

THE country has a right to
demand from the Senate
prompt action upon the bill
which passed the House on May
4, restricting traffic in narcotic
drugs.
Except for cocaine, all our mar
cotic drugs are derived from
opium. 1t is an opium problem
Today we import fifty grains of
opium per person. Medical au-
thorities say that three grains per
person would suffice for all medi-
cal purposes.
The balance is used (D to
create our drug addicts, more
than a million strong, more than
$4,000 in New York alone; and
(2) to export to other countries,
particularly Japan.
Japan will not let her own
people use the drugs we export.
So they are re-exported to China.
The Chinese authorities, who have
curbed home production of opium,
are helpless against its sale by
japanese traders, protected from
Chinese courts by the iniquitous
extra territorial laws.
So here's a vicious circle, in
deed.
When the Senate passes the
House bill, opium will be import
ed, produced and sold only in
quantities permitted by Federal
Narcotic Control Board, and un-
der its regulations there will be
no expectation save to countries
that want the drugs and agree
not to re-export them.
This law is the first necessary
step in a national and local cam
paign against the dope peril.

The Vast
Russ Arnly
rRANK VANDERBILT, once

rRANK VANDERBILT, once
president of the biggest bank
in America, says: "The very
imaginative see a vast Russian
army officered by Germans"
You don't have to be VERY
imaginative to see that. It's been
suggested in this column many a
time in the last three years.
Before the war Russian industry
was a vast army "officered by
Germans. The Russians resented
lit, and they would ordinarily re-
sent German management of their
ARMY. But if Western Europe
insists on it, it will have the
pleasure of meeting that vast
Russian army officered by Ger
mans" and little Belgium, which,
according to Barthou, has per-
suaded France to take the Belgian
view as to how Russia should "be
governed" will find a job on her
hands when it comes to stopping
THAT army. One hundred and
fifty millions in Russia, plus
sixty-five millions in Germany,
might equal trouble.
One problem of the white races
of Europe, which insist on swim
ding, taxing, robbing and muir
dering each other, is that Rus
sian army officered by Germans, "
supplemented by additions from
Bulgaria, Turkey and elsewhere,
The specter that hangs over all
the white races is a Chinese army
Iofficered by Japanese. If the
whites of Europe bleed themselves
white, starve themselves and
play the part of usurers, one
against the other, thus weakening
the resistance of their race, let
, them look out for the yellow men,
All the more reason why thSS
country always, THIS CONTI-
NENT, should keep itself strong
enough and Independent enough
to meet anything, white or yellow.

Stars and Stripes

According to scientists of the Smithsonian
Institution the record fish captured at
Miami Fla, after a fight lasting thirty-nine
hours Five harpoons and $50 bullets were re.
auired to subdue the monster. 1t was a whale
shark and weighed 80 900 pounds, its liver alone
weighing LOO pounds.
The fragrance Of flowers is due to special
essences or oils which the plant produces. These
oils are complicated compounds of only two
elements. carbon and hydrogen, and known
as volatile oils, since they escape readily into
the air.
Brann, the iconoclast, was William Cowper

From references made to skilled writer's in
anciept literature the inference is drawn that
shorthand was known long before the Christian
era. The first authentic knowledge Of the art
dates to the first century before Christ. The
pioneer of Roman shorthand was Marcus Fullius
Trio, secretary and librarian to Cicero, who de.
vised a system which was little more than Il

such extent that reporters of the time could
