MAKE HOME GROUNDS THE
NElGHBORHOOD BEAUTY SPOT

Agricultural College News Notes.
Why not begin now to lay plans for
. systematic effort 70 make your home
grounds the beauty spot of the neigh
borhood The inside furnishings may
be simple or more or less neglected,
and few will ever know il, but count
less numbers will look with pride or
pity upon your attempt at landscape
development and home identifying.
Order your nursery catalogs now
and in the meantime, make plans for
planting more treees, shrubs, vines and
perennials. 1t will be much to your
advantage. if you can make q plan on
paper Of your lot, showing the loca-
ton Of the house and other permanent
structures and the proposed location
Of the planting materials you desire
to introduce. In planning for lawn
improvement, the following sugges-
tions should be considered:
The house should be "tied in" to the
lawn with foundation planting of
low growing hardy shrubs. The CEN
ter Of the front lawn should be left
open, but if large enough, few mass
paintings Of shrubbery, well located
near the boundary line, will add much
to the attractiveness Of the property.
Remember the front lawn is of the
nature Of public area and should
be developed for the passing public 10
enjoy.
Have the back yard for your private
area and introduce here any service
units desired, such as the children's
play ground, laundry yard, vegetable
and small fruit garden, service drive,
chicken yard, etc.
Make this entire area as private as
possible by at least partially screen
ing II in from the public gaze with a
hedge, yine-covered fence, or broken
chains of well-mixed shrubbery around
the property line. Screen unsightly
objects from direct view by mass
paintings Of shrubs and trees.
Have no more trees near the house
than are absolutely necessary for
shade. Trees in the parking strip or
along the highway should not be set
closer than rs feet apart.
Use variety, strive for unity and
convenience, but put the best you
have into the undertaking.

quently by those benevolent Law
makers in their supreme effort to do
something for US poor farmers-neith-
er are we going to risk brain storm
by computing how many thousands Of
dollars Uncle Sam is paying them
for working in our behalf. To quote
our friend, Lew Dockstader: "Far be il
from SUCH"
Nichols first paragraph ran like
this: Just like the farming business
the last few years, the meeting of the
American Farm Bureau had its ups
and downs. The impression the visit
or carried away with him depended
entirely on his mental makeup. Ger
tainly there WAS q trace Of bunco in
the talks"
Now what do you think Of that
And he was right there to listen first

wherein the American Farm bloc op-
posed President Harding appointing =

But ne continued: Ihe lack OF de-

1t seems to us the Godsakers must
have packed the convention.
Said Nichols: "ldeas Of . decided
rancid, economic nature were detect
ed" (Get that word, detected.) "Es-
pecially the resolutions committee
which made up the long suffering hop
per into which years mote the word,
'years) collection Of wisdom alleged
and otherwise, was poured"
Just then Nichols heard that boy in
Denver trying to define the word pol

began paragraph two-"And-God
help ps-there was much politics!"
Really, there was so much of it-this
politics in business"-that the re-
firing president, J. r. Howard. de-
clared, ut was q shame and dis
grace" At letst that's what Nichols
said, and he ought to know.
We summed up the resolutions in
three pithy paragraphs, giving the
long and the short Of it and the be-
twixt and between, that is, "long- g-time
invested capital, short-time credits,
and an intermediary credit"
Just then q heavy voice from some

ly that all the Legislation in the world

Are Farmers Organisations Playing
politics, or are politicians using Farm
ers' organizations for football!
We read farm journals and agricul-
taral news notes last night until our
brain YVES in . whirl. In fact, il re
fused longer to function.
When We got thru, We felt some
thing like the man who was sent to an
praise some household goods. Failing
TO return, an officer went after him.
He was found in the dining room
stretched on the floor, tightly holding
the printed blank he was to fill. But
all he had listed was "One dizzy side
board"
Are things in such a mess agricul-
turally!
Ali the farm journals on our table
and every news column bearing ON the
subject told US how the good folks from
Washington and Denver were hitting
on all eight, sitting up nights, burning
extra lights-and getting extra pay
trying to do something for US poor
mortals who happen to be in the farm
ing business.
1t seemed to US it was about time
TO clarity things and get right down
to brass tacks and find out what il
was all about
So We turned on switch and
listened in on the Godsakers.
Perhaps you did, too. Am sure
some Of their broadcasting must have
landed in China from the vigorous way
in which they were vociferating in be-
half Of the -trodden, debt laden
farmer.
OF course you know who the God
sakers are! In case you don't, will
say they were given this name by the
noted H. G. Wells, who defines them
as these folks who 20 about wiring

They were surely out en- masse last
night. For a time we wondered il
there were any successful farmers in
the whole United States, and if so,
why some Of them didn't tune in and
refute some of those things the God
sakers were saying. Even Mr.. Tax
payer was silent, for not success
thought came our way.
A boy in Denver, at night school,
was trying to define politics. "Politics
is but that's as far as he got. We
heard the teacher ut the Opportunity
school say: "That will do" We de-
cided that was far as any one ever
could define the word any way.
Just then F. B. Nichols tuned in.
You all know Nichols, Of course? He
is one Of Brother Capper's star edit
ors and Capper sent him to Washing
ton holiday week to report the nation
al gathering Of the American Farm
Federation. In answer to someone he
was reading his report. We got so
interested We decided right then and

for himself.

from Salida- The politicians have
used US for n football about long
enough. Seems to me we ought 70
do more ourselves and put the auction

Somehow we agreed with him, for
after reading over all the news Of
what's being done and what's going
to be done, we felt like the 'cullud
lady, who stood beside the remains
Of her last departed husband. Look
ing down she said: Dear Old Rastus,

In the meantime, it's long journey

Is time for everybody TO sit tight,

heard Nichols say Their plans lacked

For diversion we picked up the
almanac to see what the prospects
were for spring plowing and trying
TO decide whether or not we had better
take flier in head lettuce.
AS We turned to shut of our radio
apparatus, fully convinced that the
farmers weren't going to the bow
vows, even il that chaplain down in
Denver did try 10 convince the Lord
that We were already hitting the down
ward trail, Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-
DUN started an argument.
o course, we had to listen in. Glad
we did, as il clarified everything so
completely there was little left TO wor-
~ about.
Said Tweedle-dee: II know what
you're thinking about; but it isn't so,
nohow"
Said Tweedle-dum: "Contrariwise,
il il was SO, it might be; il It were SO,
It would be; but II isn't if il aint."
So you see, there's no use for any

we may be able to plow by the middle

British Newspapers Begin to Express Fear Lest eX-Kaiser Again Start Trouble in Europe.

London, Nov. 13.-Some of the British newspapers are beginning to show anxiety over the possible return to Germany of former Emperor Will liam and last nights reports from Paris and Brussel sthat he had ob- tained his passports are featured sig nificantly this morning.
 It is said that the visit of pr. Kan, Dutch official at Doorn house yester- day was to inform the ex-kaiscr that the powers of Europe would not re- gard his return with indifference.
 None of the London correspondents at Gels, Upper Silesia. or elsewhere had been abel to locate Grown Prince Frederick William up to midnight last night, thus discounting previous dispatch that the prince had arrived at his estate yesterday morning.
 Interest in his return is now very feeble The newspapers commenting on it hold that his re-entry into Ger many is not an incident of sufficient to justify that allied action which would seem to be favored in France.

REPUBLIC IN GREECE
Political Situation Complicated and King May Retire While New Gov ernment Is Being Formed.

London, Nov. 13.-Ministsrial cir eles in London are without definite news of the uncertain political situa- ton in Greece at the present moment but they view with much anxiety the unofficial reports that King George probably will be forced to leave the country so as to permit the establish ment of a republic.
 Great Britain like the United States has financial claims against Greece and it is felt that the proclamation of a republic amid such chaotic acon- ditions as now prevail would make the payment of these claims or even the interest on them, remote. The Unit ed States advanced to Greece s15,- 000,000 under the liberty bond act" and the interest on this amount to date totals almost another million.

Only Six Persons Come
 To New York on Liner

New York, Nov. 13.-Three stew ards, accompanied each of the six men and women who comprised the complete passenger list of the Ma tional Greek liner Gladstone, former ly the Themistocles, when she docked from Patras today, The six, all Greek Americans, and each a third class passenger, had the big vessel to themselves, with the service ordinar- fly accorded passenger list of D. 900 concentrated upon them. The passenger dearth, was due to the fact that the Greek immigration quota has been exhausted for this fiscal year.
