INSIST ON ACTION

for the people 10 tell their .ected
representatives what they want

In the last analysis. the success
or failure of our form of govern
ment depends upon the people
themselves taking an active inter
est and an active part in the con-
duct Of this government.
So ] say ii is a healthy sign
when the people themselves take
enough interest to tell their gov
-ernment what is wrong. in their
judgment. Also il has been my
experience as a publisher and in
public life that in the long run,
the intelligence of the American
citizen ranks very high.
Practically every American FAM
lily today has one or more of its
members in service, or knows il

and mothers and brothers and Sis

tatives in the armed forces face

Certain other things fitted in. The
anonymous letter written to Elinor
That was to create bad feeling be
tween Einor and Mary. The idea
doubtless was that Elinor would come
down and object to Mary's influence
over Mrs. Welman. The fact that
Roderick Welman fell violently in
love with Mary was, of course a to-
tally unforeseen circumstance-but
one that Nurse Hopkins was quick to
appreciate. Here was a perfect motive
for the scapegoat, Elinor.
But what was the reason for the
two crimes? What motive could there
be for Nurse Hopkins to do away with
Mary Gerard? l began to see a light
oh, very dim as yet. Nurse Hopkins
had a good deal of influence over
Mary, and one of the ways she had
used that influence was to induce the
girl to make will. But the will did
not benefit Nurse Hopkins. 1t bene-
fitted an aunt of Mary's who lived in
New Zealand. And then | remember
ed a chance remark that some one in
the village had made to me. That aunt
had been a hospital nurse.
THE light was not quite so dim
now. The pattern-the design of the
crime-was becoming apparent. The
next step was easy. / visited Nurse
Hopkins once more. We both played
the comedy very prettily. In the end
she allowed herself to be persuaded to
tell what she had been aiming to tell
all alongI Only she tells it, perhaps,
just little sooner than she meant to
do! But the opportunity is so good
that she cannot resist. And, after all,
the truth has got to be known some
time. So, with well-feigned reluctance
she produces the letter. And then,
my friend, it is no longer conjecture.
I know! The letter gives her away"
Peter Lord frowned and said:
"How?"
"Mon cher! The superscription on
that letter was as follows: For Mary,
to be sent to her after my DEATH But
the gist of the contents made it per-
fectly plain that Mary Gerard was
not to know the truth. Also, the word

when plants are moved. About
half the leaf area may be removed.
The soil should be soaked after the
transplanting operation is finished.
A little dry soil Sprinkled over the
surface will check evaporation.
Small seedlings may be planted
in holes made by a dibber. This
is a steel, wood or iron tool with a
round blunt point which is stabbed
into the ground and twisted. a
much faster operation than using
a troWel.
Observe distances carefully In
transplanting. The little plants may
seem lonely when set two or three
feet apart. but remember the size
they will attain at maturity and see
that they have room enough to
develop their best.
Vigorous growth In seedlings will
be assured il plant food is applied
while they are small. 1t will en-
able them TO develop a good root
system, which will feed them well.
In transplanting vegetables mix
thoroughly one level tablespoonful
OF complete plant food with the soil
in the bottom Of the hole before
setting the plant Then apply plant
food over radius two feet from
the plant at the rate Of one rounded
teaspoonful to each square foot OF
ground.
Four TO six weeks later another
application Of plant food at the rate
Of two pounds per 100 square feet
may be made, This is equivalent
to a rounded teaspoonful for two
square feet. Apply evenly over the

ately adjacent TO the plant.

vigorous are the young plants

nique which will greatly reduce the
proportion Of failures.
But failures do occur and not all

less transplanting will result in a

produce flowers or fruit Of good
quality. The following points, il

your young plants have a reason.
able chance Of survival.
Dig a hole large enough to spread
out the roots without crowding. In
the case of seedlings which have a
long tap root, it will help promote
stocky growth II this tap root is
shortened. Avoid permitting air
pockets TO be formed among the
roots. See that soil is filled in
properly to cover the roots, and
then firm the soil so that contact
is close, since without this contact
the roots cannot absorb water from
the soil. Seedlings should usually
be set a little deeper than they
stood in the fat. In the case OF
overgrown plants, it may be wise
TO lay the stem horizontally under
the soil for several inches. rather
than let it project above the sur
face; this is especially the case
with tomatoes.
