his silence became very aggravating

was master Of ceremonies. and the
chairman Of the Senate Committee on

speaker. This functionary committed
the egregious blunder Of declaring
that the War Department had prac-

a plot was concocted to take the con-

" The CITY of Trees" /"

s(T@HE CITY OF TREES" is indeed proper
sobriquet for Washington. We are just-
fed in claiming that title for, although city is
one OF the youngest capitals in the world, figures
have been compiled showing that Washington's
bouevards more shady than those of the cap-
tails which boast loudly OF structures bearing cen
tury-old marks OF age.
Government workers, whose eyes tired from
looking at desks. typewriters and pressed brick
throughout the day, should find rest in Washing
toms pride-its trees Some author wrote poem
that describes perfectly how we feel towards ma
tures contribution to the Identification of the
hemispheres, a part OF which is as follows:
Houses built by fools like me-
But only God can make tree"
The author whose pen magical'y placed those
thoughts upon paper must have, at some time, Wis
tied city, in whose bounds the trees find place
despite the crowding OF resident and business
structures Even business men, who like to be con-
sidered very successful and busy persons, pause
during the torrid months and look out on
majestic bearers of green foliage and their
thoughts reiterate the thoughts of the poet.
Residents of Washington should point with
pride to its shady and streets Those
people who damage the young trees along new
streets should remember that those trees if left
alone, will some day shade their children and their
children's children.

handling such plants. II must be re-
membered that from the time the trees
leave the soil of the nursery until
they are firmly planted In the or

the air as little MS possible. and espe-

left with their roots exposed to the

EASY WAY TO WATER GARDEN
Line Of Perforated Pipes Attached to
Hose May Be Made Use OF to
lrripate Crops.

A special facility for watering the
garden consists of line Of perforated
pipe that may be attached to the hose
and used to irrigate the crops. Where
the land is nearly level, watering can
be done very conveniently by dis
charging the Hole into small burrows
alongside the rows and irrigating the
crops by the flooding or furrow sys-

provide the water.-United States De-
