CHICAGO, September 28-E. A.
Cudahy, jr., president of the Cudahy
Packing Co., advised preferred stock
holders in letter yesterday the
company would make a final decision
on the semi-annual dividend, which
1t passed recently, after net earnings
for the year had been determined.

be paid in full, in two installments, in
such years as net earnings reach
81 100000, and that one-half of the
dividends must be paid when earn
ings reach 100000.
The outlook at the time the direc-
tors met to consider the second divi-
dend of the year. he said, was such
that it was decided to wait until
early December. Dividends normally
are paid on May and November /.
The company had not passed one
since 1922.
For the fiscal year ended October

POIiteness and Barbarism.

This war that Is not a war, in China,
has developed some unprecedented fea-
lures. The onset of the sssailants at
Shanghai, without a formal declaration
OF intent to start hostilities, was in terms
OF modern practice departure from
the usual course. The bombing of the
business center Of the city, with
shocking loss of civilian life and the
destruction of non-military property,
was another. The firing upon a train
laden with refugees, fleeing from the
arena of conflict. with heavy fatalities,
was unjustfed by the needs of the
campaign. Both sides have done some
things that are beyond the pale of civil
lied contest.
In one other respect there has been
q departure from the usual course. This
time it is not in the direction of fright
fulness, but toward politeness and cour-
tesy. In the course of fierce fighting
north of the International Settlement,
in the Woosung region of Shanghai, the
Japanese made furious attack which
the Chinese forces resisted so stoutly
that a japanese oficial spokesman paid
Evening star., 1937-09-10

them tribute. Remarkine upon the
gallantry and fighting spirit of these
Chinese forces, which had been engaged
for two days in the defense of the posi-
tion, this spokesman said that although
the Chinese were compelled to fall back
they did so in good order conducting
themselves in such a way as to win the
lasting admiration of the officers and
men of the Japanese force attacking
them.
high regard for the enemy is part
of the spirit of good soldiership. War
is murderous enterprise and the killing
Oh human beings is its method of de-
termination. In former times the in
dividual soldier counted for much more
than today. While commanded and
managed by his officers, his own spirit
was the chief factor for success. There
are many instances of numerically in
Terror forces prevailing over superior
through sheer courage and persistence.
Many battle has been won by smaller
arrays of fighters than those they faced.
But despite this exhibition of courteous
recognition of the spirit and quality of
the Zoe, this onset at Shanghai, in an
unoeclared war, with no cause stated in
terms that the world can understand
and appreciate, stands before the world
as reduction of international relation
snip to the terms of the barbarism that
preceded diplomacy and the negotiation
ana settlement of differences without
resort TO arms.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES &. TRACEWELL.

Touch Of cool in the air sets the
garden minded person to dreaming OF
peonies and tulips.
October IA the best time for putting
these into the ground, but anytime now
will do.
The main objection to utilizing the
September days for these delightful tasks
is that 1t would demand the tearing up
of plants still in bloom.
BY October, annual flowers will be at
an end, together with many perennials.
Shrubs, In the main, will have lost
their leaves; trees will have let 70 their
hold on most of theirs.
BY October, everything will be in fne
shape for planting.
Then the gardener can see his garden
sas 1t is, without benefit of foliage.
\
He will note the places where some
peony bushes will 90 best, and where
the bright flowers of tulips would shine
next Spring.
Newcomers to the garden scene, often
fail to realize that thought must be given
to tulip planting now, If there are to be
tulips in bloom in the yard next Nav.
Bulb sellers for years have been trying
the best time to think about tulips is in
Spring. when they are in bloom, in order
that one may decide which varieties to
order and actually to order them, so
that they will be on hand when needed.
On hand, In hand
That means now.
Now is the accepted time of the year
Tor tulips. 1t Is a now" Of extreme
hexibilfty, however. As previously stated,
perhaps the very best time is not strictly
now, but In October
Then the garden is plain before one,
and 1t Is easy to see where tulip bulbs
should 60. Most persons already will
have many in the ground. Perhaps most
growers leave them where they are, in
stead Of digging them up.
There always seems room for Just
few more bulbs.
Favorite time of peony planting is from
now on.
Here again, October is perhaps slightly
better than September But November
may be used for this task, provided there
has not been extreme cold.
The main thing to remember in plant
Ing peony roots is not to put them too
deep.
Peonies planted too deep never will
bloom, or at best very shyly, whereas
those put In with just enough earth to
cover the eyes, say not more than 2
inches, will bloom the second Spring

When the nrst red tips OF the peony

shoots start into the air, no one who IA
not familiar with them could be blamed
for not realizing how many square feet
the bush will occupy.
That is why it Is necessary to put the
roots II planting in border or row. at
least feet apart, three or four would be
better.
This will mean that there will be plenty
Of room for each bush to put out its
leaves and enough for the great flowers
to show their beauty to an admiring
world.
In recent years some attempt has been
made to induce garden lovers to plant
peony roots In the Spring. on the theory
that they Will bloom year later, where
as II root Is put into ground at this
time, 1t probably will not bloom next
Spring, but will require at least another
year to get into its stride.
This would seem to give the SPRING
planted root six-month advantage. but
often 1t does not work out that way.
The psychology of Spring planting OF
peonies seems entirely wrong
One wants them to bloom, at that
time; 1t Is the season of peonies. and
the planter feels entirely wrong In plant
ting them then, when he shortly should
harvest crop of fine flowers.
IT peonies and tulips must be kept i'm

applies to the narcissus. the humble

bulbs.

may be violated with impunity.
1t Is much more important to get a
good bed for the bulb to rest on. This
means that the bottom of each hole
should be leveld off fiat, so that the base
OF the bulb may sit squarely, without any
air pockets left beneath it.
Traditional planting has it that A thin
layer OF sand should be put on the floor
OF the hole, so that the base, or wide
part OF the bulb, may be we'll drained,
In theory, at least, this is valuable ad-
vice, but If one has no sand at planting
tlme,. there Is no need to be perturbed
over the lack.
beginners often worry as to (which
way to plant bulbs. Sometimes they
even are planted with the narrow end
down, which, of course, is Just upside
down.
1t will be interesting to amateurs to
know that recent experiments have
shown that gladiolus bulbs (which are
planted in the Spring, of course) tend
70 right themselves, even when planted
at considerable slope, instead of
squarely on their bottoms. or even COM
pletely the wrong way up.
Several weeks are required for the bulb
TO right itself In the earth.
This Is one Of those strange provisions
OF nature which make the believing sure
that there is intelligence in everything
PROBABLY the same mysterious sense OF
right and wrong works equally well in
DehaH OF tulip and narcissus bulbs. Even
II we plant them completely wrong end

IS working away every minute to set
them right-side up, for us and for them

America lost another poet when Anna

had been writing nearly forty years, and
her effort had earned the praise of James
Whitcomb Riley, william Lyon Phelps

plause of the millions, it perhaps was
because the genius for appreciation is
not yet democratized.
Miss Branch was a native bard. Her

came. She possessed the gentleness
