Said by Washington

To be prepared for war is one of
the most effectual means of preserv-
ing peace.
There is a rank due to the United
States among nations which will be
withheld, if not absolutely lost, by
the reputation of weakness.
Let us impart all the blessings
we possess, or ask for ourselves, to
the whole family of mankind.
1t is our true policy to steer clear
of permanent alliances with any por-
ton of the foreign world TAX
ing care always to keep ourselves,
by suitable establishments, in a re-
spectacle defensive posture, we may
safely trust to temporary alliances
for extraordinary emergencies.
1T is unfortunate when men can-
not or will not see danger at dis
tance; or seeing it, are undeter-
mined in the means which are nec-
essary to avert or keep it afar off,"

getting too much water, starving for
food, standing in water or have in
sects on the lower side of their leaves
If the plants dry up and turn
brown, the air is too hot and dry.
Remember to sprinkle the leaves of
the plants, and, in the case of palms,
rubber plants and other large-leaved
plants, they should be washed with
mild soap and water from time to
time and, too, an abundance of plants
increase the moisture in the air about
them, so whole window full of
flowers thrive better than one plant.
If the plants turn grayish or whit
ish, they are suffering from red
spider. These thrive in hot, dry air,
so sprinkle the plants. Red spiders
cannot tolerate moisture in the air.
If the tips of the leaves are dry, the
watering has been neglected, or gas is
injurying them.
If they drop their buds, they are
getting too much water, and not
enough sunlight.
If they lose their leaves they are
suffering from a combination of bad
culture.
If they refuse to flower, they may
be resting or they may need more
sunlight. Foliage plants, as a rule,
thrive in the shade, but flowers like
cinerarias, begonias and geraniums
need sunlight if they are to bloom
satisfactorily.
If they have insects: The most
common symptoms are: White cot
tony masses-this thrives on plants
like the colens, and is called a mealy
bug. Wash the plant with soap suds.
White flies-If your plants become
infested with these small white flies,
it will be difficult to control unless
the plants are sprayed with nicotine
when the insects are young. Throw
away badly infested plants.
Scales-These hardly appear to be
insects, but they are. Wash them
off, using a stiff brush dipped in
strong soap suds or nicotine solu-
ton.

Don't wait until next July to check

Agent Max McMillin, who has been
comforting with dealers and farmers
on adequate machinery for Pine coun-
ty farms in the face of the steel

1t is important to get in orders for

Ten jolly little house plants in the

Mealy bugs got one-then there

Nine joyous flower faces shone
from morn till late
Scanty moisture saddened one
then there were eight.
Eight little bits of green, looking
up to Heaven,
One stood long in water deep
then there were seven.
Seven struggling little friends glad
dened passings hicks,
Green lice swarmed over them
then there were six.
Six tiny household joys kept our
hopes alive,
Red mites called on one-then
there were five.
Five little woodland friends, their
need of care so sore!
Dust choked up the pores of one
then there were four.
Four little saddened things hope
better things to see.
A cut worm sapped the life of one
then there were three.
Three little lonely ones crowded
close to view
The out of doors; frost nipped one
then there were two.
Two little thriving plants hoped
their griefs were done.
Baby hands upset them both
then there was one.
One fearsome ailing little plant!
The mistress said "I'm done!"
She threw it out-gay pot and all.
Then there was none.

charge experienced several disap-

what there was of it was very good.
Several willing helpers had made a
fine job of beautifully decorating the

The traditional sport of knocking

The final blow was delivered by Arid

The balance of the evening was spent
at dancing to which Hanks Melody

BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Cleveland, Oct. 15-Well, the great Kent State college football gam bling scandal has subsided. There wasn't much to the alarm, yet it did considerable good in calling att tention to the fact that players were peddling pool tickets on the campus and elsewhere.
 Evidently there was lot of put ting the house in order by the school president and coach after the story of Tom Gavagan, an undergraduate, appeared in the student newspaper, so the yarn was service.
 School officials cracked down hard on players selling pools. This was the chief evil involved-players par ttcipating in gambling racket, however small.
 It was very Small-time stuff, but you can see how youngsters their age would be most likely to talk out of turn in offering tickets to a pros- pective buyer: "Aw, come on, we'll see that you win on Kent State if you take us in the pool!"
 Gavagan says one Kent State back told him that most of the pools he sold had been marked for Find lay, O., College, the purchasers be- ing of the opinion that Kent State would not beat Findlayites by more than 12 points, which was the spot.
 It would be only natural for play CTS who had recommended or taken Kent State in the pool to take des- perate chances in trying to beat the spot.
 Followersr of the team couldn't be blamed for suspecting players were going far out of their way to beat the pool and make themselves 8 piece of change.
 That was what prompted Gava- gan's piece. He expressed the opin- ions of number who saw the game
 It seemed funny to him that the quarterback in the final perioc should be taking unnecessary chanc- es with forward passes that might be intercepted when he should have been protecting six-point lead.
 Under the circumstances, it would be very easy for Kent State SUD- porters to suspect the team was let ting them down if the boys bumped into a bad day when everything went wrong.
 l It would be entirely logical to suspect the kids were doing another Joe Jackson.

Dudley, Professional Football ''ROOkie' Holds Ground Lead

Chicago, oct. i5.- Special Two rockies and a pair of veterans moved up to make their first ap- pearance among the National root- bah leagues ground gathers this week, but the supremacy of young Bill Dudley went unchallenged.
 Dudley increased his lead over MaRle Condit. to 53 yards as he led the Pittsburgh Steelers to victory over Condit's Brooklyn Dodgers, and now stands well out in front with PIP yards in A attempts, an average of 6.2 yards per attempt.
 Andy Farkas, Washington veteran. who has taken all of two seasons to regain the form that made him one of the leagues greatest backs before he suffered 8 leg injury in training camp in 1940, gained 58 yards in 15 attempts against Cleye- land to take ninth place.
 His rookie, teammate, Dick Poil- lon, picked up 30 yards in the Cleveland game to take over 16th place in the select circle, while Ted Fritsch, Green Bay full back, went into tenth place with 10l yards in 26 attempts and Bob Morrow, Carr dinal full back, bucked his way through the Bear line for g yards and just enough to become 18th.
 Nip and Tuck
 Tommy Thompson, of Philadel- phia, and Sammy Baugh of Wash ington, continued to be closer than butter to bread in the passing race, with Baugh taking over first place by a margin equally as small as that by which the Eagle star lead a week ago. Both have thrown five touchdown passes and are topped in this respect only by Cecil Isbell, who connected to Hutson against De- troit to run to IS the number of consecutive league games in which he has tossed scoring aerials.

Foster Not Ready For Trinity Play

Hartford, Oct. 14.-After resting his team a week, Coach Dan lessee at Trinity college, Hartford, is busy repairing his backfield for the Wor- cester Tech game in Worcester this Saturday. The Trinity line in intact and ready to go. The backfield, how ever, presents a problem because of several minor injuries keeping men from practice. Charles Foster, speedy half-back from Waterbury, is definitel yout for at least another week. Several freshmen will have an opportunity at ball carrying so that lessee can rest his regular backs as much as possible.
 In spite of the trouncing Wor- cester took at the hands Of unde- feated Coast Guard last week, Trin- ity is expecting stiff opposition. The scouts report Worcester as a young team with definite possibilities as they gain experience.
