Enjoys a Joke

He showed considerable aptitude
for engineering and a remarkable
skill in handling a ship and looked
forward to the navy as a career.
The young prince enjoyed no
special privileges, being treated as
any other cadet or junior officer.
Once when King George inspected
the ship, Prince Albert took his
place with the others, after the
sublieutenants in accordance with
his rank. Father and son had not
met for some months, but Prince
Albert passed the King without
the slightest flicker Of recognition.
Despite his sober mien, Prince
Albert enjoyed a joke. During a
visit of the Cumberland to Mon

most Al years old. the Duke of
York closely resembles his brother,
King Edward VIII in personal ap-
pearance.
There the resemblance ends.
Strictly a family man, the second
son of the late King George v, is
completely unspectacular and as
grave at a judge. He has those
conservative qualities. the solidity,
which the British people admire.
Curiously, women have affected
the deStinieS of King Edward and
the Duke of York in exactly op-
poSite ways.
While the Kings love for the
American born beauty. Mrs. Wallis
Warfield Simpson, brought about
a constitutional crisis, the Dukes

Dainty Duchess" his
popularity as nothing else had.
Their two beautiful daughters,
Princess Elizabeth and Princess
Margaret Rose, are the darlings Of

the royal household.
In 1909. when he was IA. he fol.
lowed his brother to Osborne.
There, in due course, he received
the nickname "Mr. johnson"
Edward had been labeled "The
Sardine."
After two years he went to Dart
mouth where he studied two years
before joining the cadet ship
"Cumberland" for sea experience.
Upon completion of his training
there, he was gazetted to H. M. s.

In Eduard's Glasses

AS a baby he lay in a bassinet
made especially for Queen Victo-
ria's oldest child and occupied by
his father and grandfather before
him.
v The two young Princes, Edward
and Albert, spent their childhood
together, sharing lessons with the
same tutor and enjoying initiation
into the same sports until the time
came for Edward to enter naval
training college at Osborne.
Young Prince Albert, as he was
known until he was nearly 25,
learned to play squash racquetS
and to ride, shoot and fish.
Z. Spending the greater part Of his
time at Sandringham, he first

The duke has one distinction
that none of his brothers shares.
He was under fire in the World
War. AS an ensign, he served as a
member of a gun crew aboard H.
M. S. Collingswood during the i'm
mortal battle of Jutland. 1t was the
first naval action in which the son
of q British sovereign had partici-

He was "progged" once. The

Not long ago, the Duke Of York
was visiting one of the camps he
has established for boys-children
are one of his greatest interests
and he was asked to referee a
pushball match. He exclaimed:
Referee? I'm going to play"
A few minutes later, a lusty
youth from a nearby mill town,
,burrowing his shoulder into the
slim man in front, shouted:
"NOw push like hell"
e The solemn duke gaSped:
~ am pushing like hell"
Il That is an illustration Of the
dukes character. He is not spec

midst The Guffey Coal Bill has been proclaimed un-
constitutional by to vote of the Supreme Court,

namely unconstitutional infringement of state pow
The Court held that the federal government was
without power to regulate hours and wages in the
mine industry we'll in the manufacturing in
dustry. Government interference in industry is no
more acceptable than government regulation Of
farming. Of course if the people of the nation wish
their every act to be controlled by government
agencies, they may accomplish the fact by amend
ment of the Constitution. On the other hand the
people of the nation do not expect the miners to work
for wages which not commensurate to the Amer
lean standard Of living do they wish the opera
tors to take loss coal sales-but of course the
severe winter just past is not pleasant memory to
residents of the Northwest who forced to
spend great deal of their income in the purchase
of fuel.

is causing interference in radio reception why not
have it repaired Immediately?

THE GARDEN
|
BY Ferdinand Wiener

Since the lilac is so widely
grown, the reason for lack Of
bloom is a frequent question. This
may be caused by any one Of sew
eral factors, or a combination of
these factors. The principal reasons
for lack of bloom are:
1. Too much shade. If bush Is
set close to a house or fence, so
that it does not get much sunshine
in the course of a day, this may be
a contributing factor.
2. Starvation. The bush may be
growing in a soil that is practical
ly devoid of plant food.
g. Failure to remove old flower
stems after blooming. If you will
remove the old flower stems i'm
mediately after the bush is through
blooming, cutting them back to
the two buds just below the old
spray, it will induce good bloom
for the following year.
4. It may be that the bush is a
type of lilac that does not bloom
freely, although this is unlikely If
it was secured from a reliable nur-
seryman.
5. If the bush has not been
thlnned out properly and exces-
sive suckers removed from the
base, the growth may be so thick
that there is not sufficient vitality
for good bloom.
To assure a sufficient supply of
food, apply a complete balanced
plant food to established lilacs, in
the early spring. Surface applica-
ton should be made on the entire
AREA covered by the spread Of the
branches, at the rate of one round
ed tablespoonful per square foot OF
space. Apply evenly, work into the
soil. and soak in well. Repeat the
application in about six weeks
(Which will be after the bush has
bloomed), using half as much as
above.
If your lilacs are not doing we'll.
you might also inspect the bark
for signs of scale and be on the
lookout for borers. Scale insects

Peter Gaspard has returned from
North Dakota where he took up a
claim Of 160 acres in the Fort Ber-
thold Indian reservation, having
been among the lucky ones at the
land drawing last fall. Mr.. Gaspard
says his claim is ~ miles from
the town Of Sanish, which has at
tanned a population of 1000 in six
months. Mr.. Gaspard says he will
sell the Commercial hotel and his
other properties here and locate on
his claim within the next six
months.
Godfrey Anderson returned the
early part Of the week from South
Dakota points and reports that in

able to seed more than thirty per-
cent Of a normal crop.
The High School baseball team

Florida canal on which $5,0OO,O 900
has been expended and which If
completed will call for forty times
that amount. In other words it too
has just been started. And there
are many more for which the in
itial money has been allotted which
will call for untold millions. The
fact that work has been started on
these various projects furnishes a
reasonable basis why the money for
their completion should be forth
coming and the argument present
ed will be If this work is not car
ried forward. all that has been ex-
pended will be wasted, so 1t will
be hard to withhold the appropria-
tions even if it should mean the
bankruptcy of the nation.
While paying farmers in one sec
ton to summer fallow their land
and take 1t out of production, we
find the same administration ex-
pending additional millions in an
other part of the country to bring
more land under cultivation. The
Shoshone and Casper projects in
Wyoming and a similar scheme in
Washington and the Gila dam in
Arizona are examples Of the latter.
These four alone have already re-
ceived or had spent upon them
$116,O00,000 and will require about
as much more If they are ever
placed in completion as they will
eventually have to be to satisfy the
demand of the representatives of
the respective districts in Congress.
If they cannot obtain their de-
mands alone they will unite and
force Congress to make the neces-
sary appropriations.
And all this is going on while
great seaway like the st. Lawrence
waterway, which would benefit all
OF the central states, Is being prac-
t:cally laid upon the shelf. Great as
would prove the value of the water
ways, permitting ocean going ves-
sells to penetrate the interior of the
country, there Is a growing feeling
that it will have to be postponed in
definitely because Of the money
that will have to be dug up to keep
these other projects going forward.

The 1885 relief act, which gave to the President
480OOOO000 dollars to spend without strings attach
ed has been declared unconstitutional by the District

of the five judges said the law void owing to
improper delegation of power to the President in

up the huge slush fund and curb power which was

Another point to remember in
connection with lilacs is that they

They do not thrive where the soil
