dead stalks. Iris leaves should also
be removed and burned. This precau-
ton is taken to get rid of iris borer
eggs which might be present.
When removing the dead tops of
perennial plants it is always good
idea not to jerk them off but rather
to cut them at the ground with a
pruning shears or a pair of strong
scissors. This will insure not injur-
ing the winter buds of perennials
which sometimes are very close to the
bases of this years stalks.
When the dead stalks are care
lessly and roughly removed from the
plant, the crown, roots or buds may
be inadvertently damaged.
Larvae Exterminated.
Grubs, larvae, aphids, worms and
other plant enemies that live in the
soil and feed on the roots of plants
will be discovered and may be ex-
terminated when ANIMALS are dug out
and the soil in the spaces between
perennials is spaded before the freeze
up. Besides routing these under
ground pests, the stirring of the soil
will prove exceedingly beneficial.
Deeply spaded earth which is left in
a coarsely cultivated condition over
winter will be improved by the ele-
ments, and chances are very great
that any eggs or larvae of insects

winter-killed. A final spading in
fall will also prove to be help in
controlling weeds.
Some men want beautiful wives
and some want intelligent wives, but
every wife looks positively angelic

For low evergreenS, boughS stuck
in ground guard against breakage
from weight of snow and ice. Stakes
and rope support upright ones.
Now for few suggestions for work
of the season. BY this time all of the
glads should have been dug or ready
to be lifted. Now is good time to
do the sorting out and discarding of
both the weak and diseased bulbs and
poor varieties. Also, if we dust naph-
thalene flakes over the bulbs immedi-
ately after cleaning and keep them
in tightly folded bags for about two
weeks in a warm part of the cellar
before storing them, this will quite
effectively do away with any stray
thrips that may have come in with
the bulbs. This treatment should
not be continued more than two
weeks, but there is no harm in leav-
ing the naphthalene flakes with the
bulbs if they are stored in very cold
place afterWard

My Garden.

My garden is like unto a little child,
That needs care unending, tending,
Mending, befriending;
Befriended from sly weeds;
Mended with more seeds;
Tended. Oh, near and far
They are the same. Not worth it
from your view?
But think what a comfort gardens are
when they're
Grown up and they take care of you!

Garden Furniture.

1t took several years to realize that
if garden furniture is covered when
put away it will appear fresh and
clean in the spring. Too often is it
piled in some out of the way corner,
where it becomes a sore collector of
dust. If repairs are needed they are
attended to now when there is always
more available cash in the garden
budget than a few months hence.

We Have Our
Own Worries

With congress being called back
into extraordinary session today, the
attention of the entire nation is TO-
cused on Washington and the action
our lawmakers are about to take.
The purpose of the special session is,
of course, to do something about the
neutrality bill and there is an ele-
ment who would like to have ii
changed so that war supplies can be
sold to beliggerent nations. Many
of the lawmakers and others are
aware of the great danger involved in
changing the law, for as it stands, ii
practically isolates this country from
the European struggle the way it
should be.
Why should we mix in the boun-
Diary disputes of Europe? Our fore
fathers were not satisfied over there
They came here to avoid the continual
oppression and suffering which ex-
listed at that time and it would appear
that the ocean should still separate
us as it did then.
For the sake of few million dol
lars some of our industrial lords, OF
course, would have the government
do that which would endanger oul
standings among the nations. Some
of us think too much of foreign trade
and not enough of our young man
hood to mind our own business, il
would seem.
How did the Scandinavian coun-
tries keep out of the last war wher
only few miles separated them from
the battlefields? They managed foul
years of neutrality during the Worlc
war and were better off in the end
Can't we, at more than 5000 miles
stay neutral and carry out the advice
of our illustrious first president
George Washington, that this coun.
try should guard against any foreign
alliances.
If our actions in this war are coins
to be like those in the last war, ther
Washington lived in vain. Surely
it is well and even necessary to keeI
as much of our foreign trade as pos.
sible at all times, but the cost is too
great to attempt to keep it in the face
of the general European conflict.
Mixing in the conflict will no
solve our problems but it will ado
new ones to them. We are still pay.
ing for the last war and as one proc
one may look into any of our vet.
erans' hospitals.
Now is the time to make known
our desires. Congress is beginning
its deliberations today. We can each
wire or write our representatives 81
they will know what we really wish
Let's do it!
We have plenty to do here in oul
own way. Let's stay at home ane
do it.

It is reported that. Germany and
ton of Poland-Germany to get the
western part, Russia the eastern, but
since Hitler and Stain do not trust
each other too implicitly, it is pos
sible that so-called estate of Po-
land"-a narrow strip of land at
best-Will be interposed between
them so that there will be no COM
mon German-Russian frontier. This
is not confirmed, but at the moment
of writing, that is the report which
comes from Berlin and Moscow.
West Front.
1t is said that both France and
Germany are rushing heavy REIN
forcements to the Maginot and the
Siegfried lines of Notifications, and
also that fighting here was at a stand
still early in the week. The French
have made few incursions into Ger
man territory, none of them amount
ing to anything important, and, gen.
orally speaking, both lines are still
unbroken What will be the next
move on the west front is not known,
but it is not improbable that what
ever fighting may have been planned
or be in progress, will be called off
soon. No one knows. One can mere
ly say that it-may be.
Naval Front.
For the first time during the pres
ent war, German submarines have
inflicted a heavy loss on the British
navy; there have been plenty of
losses of British merchant vessels, but
when a torpedo hit the aircraft-car-
rier, courageous" the other day,
sending it to the bottom of the North
Sea Git seems from vague reports
that this was the location), they
struck their first blow at the navy
of Britain; the vessel was boat
of more than $4,000 tons, it carried
crew of 1915 men (number of dead
victims unreported) and had 48 air
planes on its top deck.
Whatever England may think of the
war-Germany evidently means bust
ness, as shown in Poland and on the
high seas.

ity revolution is ridiculous under
democracy-and they therefore fall
out of their role as defenders of
democracy; when democracy no
longer is expedient to them, they
will disown the idea of democracy.
The lower class will play the role
as defenders of democracy if it is
to survive, and only by standing
shoulder to shoulder against attacks
on any part of it can this be accom-
plished. A working class divided on
religious, racial or petty political
issues will 60 down to defeat-while
democracy flies out of the window.
A working class united will be victor
ious-and political democracy will
grow into economic democracy

DEMOCRACY AND REVOLUTION

Editor Askov American:
Our daily press carries on propa-
ganda to the effect-and many people
believe-that the Communist party
of the United States advocates the
overthrow of our government by
force. This is not only an outright
lie, but ridiculous as well as con-
trary to common sense
1t should be within grasp of those
super-brains-and history proves
that where a minority have over
thrown government by force, it was
invariably done by the financially or
militarily powerful upper class
and never by the slower class" 1t
stands to reason that in this coun-
try for example-where the upper
class and the government are in alb
solute control of all the money, arms,
armed forces, police, press and radio
that it would be plain suicide for
a lower class minority to attempt to
overthrow the government by force
we are not that foolish!
It is generally accepted as a fact
that it takes 70 to 80 percent of the
lower class of the population to force
fully change government, and such
a situation is inconceivable under a
true democracy, where it is within
the power of such large majority
to make desired changes by the bal
lot.
Spain however, furnishes an ex-
ample of what is liable to happen if
the majority legislates against the
interests of the all powerful minority
upper class. When the Hearst press
tries to scare you out of your wits
by picturing a terrible lower class
minority revolution-that shows their
hypocrisy-they know it couldn't be
done; they also know that major
