Such facts as those may not point any more certainly to the guilty party or parties. but they indicate that the authorities have neglected to carry out the details which are expected to be followed in connection with all cases of the kind. The very preliminaries seem to have been sidetracked. whether there was a purpose in this is only a matter of conjecture, but if such condti- tlons are disclosed concerning one phase of the work it leaves the investigation open to suspicion that 3alf-hearted ef- forts have been made to bring the mur- derer to the bar of justice, contrary to the impression that New Jersey is ord.- narify anxious to give, If local or coun- ty officials have bungled. fallen down Or are negligent the states responsibility cannot be overlooked.

FIGHTING RAownEp.

There are some things that justify the declaration of war. And yet war doesn't necessarily mean bloodshed. It Is such a war that has been found necessary in the state of Michigan where there is a determination to bring sDoat much need cd relief for those sufferers of hay lever and the like, through the extermi- nation of those weeds which are held to be responsible for such snee5e troubles.
 Hay fever makes iss appearance be- fore summer Is over ana it continues until there is a frost. Some suffer from it more than others. People go from the sountry Co the eines to get ria of It, and then do not always succeed though 1t appears to be less severe when they get away from the locality where the rag weed and it's pollen are to be found.
 For that reason 1t has been agreed that the desirable thing is to get rid of .he raswesd. and it Is to be required ef lll land owners that they cut down and burn such weeds Fighting the weeds Is nne of the necessary requirements Co rood cultivation. Likewise q campaign lkainst them Of the proportions contern- slated in Michigan means improved ields as well as those portions of the and which are cultivated. If 1t wasn't Tor weeds, whether obnoxious or not, ,here are some gardens that would get ersclous little attention.
 But will Michigan accomplish its pur- poser what it Is attempting to do oth- CTS have undertaken for the same or diff terent reasons. Tn Connecticut for h. stance land owners are supposed to de- stroy the wild carrot. They arc sub- iect to complaint sf they do not and following warning can be fined for tol. sfating this weed. But those who drive through the countryside know that they and prollnc crops of wild carrot which at a distance might be regarded as ar excellent piece Of baclewheat in blossom
 Efforts to get rid of the ragweed and other undesirable weeds in Michigan il sn excellent move but if no more atteA lion is paid to 1t than is done to sinnAlai laws elsewhere 1t will soon become { forgotten efort.

RxHAuerrNo THE TIMBER.

When the forestry service of this country points out that there fas been a cne-thfrd decrease in the per capita consumption of wood for construction purposes in this country in the past Is years, 1t Is at once apparent that there has been felt the increSsing shortage in the amount of available lumber and that the decreasing amount has directed at- tention to other materials.
 1t Is known that there is much more cement and steel employed these days in the construction of buildings than ever before, and 1t is also evident that more stucco houses are being construct cd where wooden structures were for Inerly erected.
 There has been curtailnent for the past several years in the amount of con struction work because of conditions ere ated by the war, but because of the in- crease in population and development activities the needs for lumber are un- considerably greater now than ever The forestry service, however, attributes the reduction chiefly to the depiorable fact that the forests are being exhausted be cause of the extravagant policy that has been followed of making great and wast6ful inroads into the lumber supply each year without making adequate preparation for more forests to take tn, place of those removed.
 Without doubt there Is excellen ground for such a view. Long has Been pointed out that the lumber suppl! was limited and that within compar atively few years 1t would become ex hAusted unless more attention was givel | to reforestation work. If substitute for wood are being resorted to now 1 is evident that still more of them vii have to be employed unless there is al increase in the lumber supply.

pinched off as soon as they start and the ground hood between the hills Where only a few plants are grovr md the soil is rich and may be wztered his method will probably give the best satisfaction.
 Before setting the strawberry plantl the roots should be trimmed back about half. and all dead, broken and large leaves removed. in order to make the plant as stoclcy and sturdy as possible. Sometimes this is done in the nursery before they are sent out.
 It is always better to plant the straw berries on a cloudy day. or late in tho afternoon, and after they see planted keep them well watered and shaded :. possible until they root and get a good start.
 Firming the soil thoroughly with the balls of the feet about each pizni as 1t is set Is one of the most inpor- tant parts in strawberry planting. ard will SO far toward securing success.
 Before severe frost sets in- care fully mulch the strawberry patch with salt or meadow hay fl they can bs procured. but if this is not poss5ble any straw. hay. or old leaves will dc for this purpose. Cover with this mulch to depth of 2 or inches. holding II in place. if necessary, with boards Leave this mulch on the bed until growth begins in the sprlngtsme.
 Among the most satisfactory and hardy varieties for home use are Early Jersey Giant and Premier. for early Edmond Wilson and Narchall. for mid season: and Chesapeake and Stevens Late Champion. for late.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Ex-Gov. aarsin of Rhode Island


 Mr. Editor: Observing in this morn inEs issue of The Bulletin, notice of death of former Gov. L. F. c. Garvin of Rhode Island, would like here to offer my testimony regarding his worth as citizen, reformer and public servant. Born in Knoxville, Tenn, in 1841 (his father an educator and native of Yer mont) he came north as a young man to receive a collegiate course at Amherst college, Mass. While in that pursuit the Civii war broke out. He at once enlisted in Massachusetts regiment and went to fight for the flag and the preservation of the Union. After the war he took up the study of medicine. which had been inter rupted and commenced practice thereof in the village of Lonsdale, R. T., which had since been his home Early in the seventies he became interested in politics as a refermer served several terms in legislature as representative from the town of Cumberland and later two terms as governor of the state. At his death he was serving the same town as senator Quiet, unassuning, thoroughly convinced sincerely beloved by those that knew him best. His enemies if he possessed any, were few and of q political nature and none of those very bitter. He was at all times gentleman and good friend. His laboFs were all in the interest of humanity at large, his nearest neighbors in particular. By those who knew him his memory will always be revered.

 "She did mean 1t st the tire." ex- plained his annoyed roommate. "But she has changed her mind since. Women can't help changing their minds any more than the weather can, and you may thank your stars that the change in this case will have to be from dark to light, Instead of having her ring you tip fran tically to come over and then tell you that 1t Is all a mistake and she really doesn't love you it will be far better to have her say My heror and murmu1 that she does not see how she could have been so blind and can you ever forgive her."

THE NATIONAL ASH HEAP.

We stop and eUcaim when we are told the number who have an income of five million dollars or more, but we some how do not give the same amount of att tention to the figures which show that during the past year the wastage from fires throughout the country amounted to 1885, ,6oo, ,o0o, or a gain of nearly ten times what 1t was 50 years ago.
 Nothing, save local instances of losses which result from carelessness, can be naore impressive than such a disclosure, or Yoint out mors emphattcalIy the need for increased hre prevention work.
 The fire losses in this country are far greater than they are in European coun- tries. Conditions are also different. but 1t is because of tthe failure to exercise a due amount of care that such vast con- trfbutions are being made to the nation al ash heap. We are deploring 1t and yet constantly giving great boosts to unjustifed and preventable waste.
 Perhaps the worst feature of the country's fire loss is that it has thus far been impossible to check 1t and keep it checked. What 1t would be now but for the excellent efferts which have been put IOFIH LII OSua4L OL pIGNOuLlOu II would be difficult to esranate, but great as has been the value of preventive ef- forts there is still a tremendous need for keeping the benefits of them con stantly before the people and urging greater cooperation.
 It Is through the part which each and every one can play in becoming less careless and in anticipating fire dangers that the great annual fire loss can be checked. The efforts which are direct. ed fo that end are certainly worthy oi every cooperation. The greater the in. terest that can be created the better art going to be the results obtained. Waste Is something. which everyone should bt anxious to see checked, especially wher Ire ts involved.

 You poor, ignorant trout" said the annoyed roommate severely. Don't you realize that 1t is the right of every girl to turn man down three or four times before she takes him?

Sebastopol. too, has vbeen one of the factors in the defeat of Odessa. The harbor of the former city is one of the best on the Black Sea, and has the advantage that it never freezes, while that of Odessa Is fec clogged for two or three weeks every winter.
 Odessa is one of the newest towns of any importance in the former Rus sian Empire. In 1910, according to the first census taken, its population was 5000. But it is located on bay near the northwest curve of the Black Sea, not far from the mouths of the Dnieper and the Dneister Rivers, and it grew rapidly. When Turkey ceded this area to Russia, Catherine the Great decided that she would develop the little Turk Ish fortress called Khodjabey into a mighty city which would prove an im- portant Russian base near the hated

TWO SYSTEMS IN

There are two systems for planting strawberry plants, the Hill System. and the Matted Row System. The Matted Row System in planting is the one most generally used. In this lat ter system. the plants are set from l2 to IS inches apart in rows or feet apart As the new runners appear,
 they are rooted between and to the sides of the original plants, until a mat from 15 to IS inches wide is formed. The plants that form the mat should not be closer together than 5 or inches.
 In the "Hilr' system, the plants are set in rows about a foot apart. The rows may be single, or four or i've together in a bed, the rows foot apart, with a two foot alley between the beds. In this case all runners are
