Which Might Easily Be Made Additions

committee of the National Capital Of
the Garden Club OF America at the

Noyes 1893 Vermont avenue.
Mr.. Peaslee illustrated his talk with
many pictures of CONTINENTAL gar

gardens in America. There was dis

city, where II was said several new

tact with the national parks will be

STRESEMANN RAPS !:
ATTACKS ON REPORT
Tells German Editors Advance
Discussion of Details Will
Be Fruitless.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, April 19.-Goaded by the
batting of the Nationalist leaders who
are already making a united attack on
the government for its acceptance of
the experts report as basis for repa-
ration parleys. Foreign Minister
Streseufann went before a conference of
German editors today and informed them
that tho German government was ac-
celebrating all preparations for the i'm
pending discussion, it would submit
the. data requested by. the reparations
commission at the earliest possible
date, he said.
AS the report of the experts has
been. accepted by Germany in all its
fundamentals there could he no ad-
vance discussion over any specific de-
tail, DIR. StreSemann told the editors.
adding that the problem would have to
be detinite!y clarified before June 10,
to which date the '1Micum" agreement
between the industrialists and the
Franco-Belgian administration in the
Ruhr had been extended.
Scores AttIsck on Report.
DR.. Stresemann severely criticized
the attack made on the experts report
by DR.. Karl Helffrich. the Nationalist
leader, deSlSnSlhS II as HliSieaaIlS anu
of purely political, polemical nature.
The foreign minister expressed belief
that certain details of the plan TO
which the governments opponents now
were taking exception would be worked
but in the course of the general dis
cussion of the complete recommends
tions of the experts.
The foreign minister pointed out.
however. that the ultimate approval Of
the Reichstag would be necessary for
the transfer Of the federal railway
system, iuaSmuch as its conversion
into n hypotheticated protest would
involve constitutional amendment.

AN EXTRA DAY
IN THIS YEAR
Everything to Gain and
Nothing to Lose on
February 20.
DAY OF BIG PROFITS

All Kenosha will give novel tribute
to Caesar February 10Th.
Julius Caesar, in 46 3. c., set his
astronomers to work correcting the
then very deficient world calendar.
The most important Of their endeavors
gave the world an extra day every
four years They settled che solar
year of 365 days and 6 hours. These
extra hours we're set aside over four
year period and then declared extra
day. 1t is this extra day, Feb. %, that
the News has designated as ''Your
Day to Gain"
Lots of Possibilities.
This extra day presents world of
possibilities to the thinking man or
woman. 1t is a date for profit, "a
hour period actually given the world
in which to perform some added effort
for the good of the individual, the
family or community.
''Your Day to Gain" has a practical
appeal to the merchant, the shop keep
err or the manufacturer-fo all who
pay monthly salaries and rent. Their
business housing space is given them
for the day free of charge. 1t is the
one day upon which they pay no rent.
In a manner, employees efforts are
that day given to che firm without
remuneration. This added day car
ries with it no additional wage
A Profitable Day.
The working man finds your Day
to Gain worth while. He who rents
his home pays no rent sor this day.
He who owns his home pays no taxes
for this day. The man insured finds
his policy or policies costs him moth
ing for the day. A profitable date.
"Your Day of Gain need not call
for monetary profit. Make it a day
of good cheer, of hearty hanclasps,
of smiles for all. Promote yourself
on this day through goodfellowship.
There are hundreds of ways in which
this day can be probably applied by
every man, woman and child in Keno
sha.
Don't let Feb. 29 go by as an ordi
nary day. 1t is "Your Day to Gain"
