SOUTHERN SENATOR - SEES“TRAIL OF GREED” INWAR PREPARATIONS ‘Washington, Feb. 27.—Senator J. K. Vardaman of Mississippi, speak- of %fi?}n‘;me % ad's oél;";l & into ‘the-ship- on g An ugr‘i{as' of the United States,” said Senator Vardaman, “the Hog Island infamy; for instance, to- gether with the shortage of coal and . @earcity of sugar, have led me into the varfous fields of industry and war enterprise, and it is a lamentable fact, which I state with regret and shame for my country, I find the slimy trail of the serpent of greed in all of the preparations for war. “We find that men of prominence in high finance—men. who were loud- est in their demands for. prepared- ness a few years ago, who. paid for the bunting that decorated the houses, paid for the flags that were * flaunted in. the air by the hired clac- quers, paid for the bands that led the preparedness parades—these men who were loudest in their denuncia- tion of the members of congress who dared to insist that the fair share of the war profits be devoted to pay- ing the expense of the war—the same hypo-critical, lying plutocratic patriots for perquesites wrap them- selves in the American flag and with words of patriotism upon their lying’ 1lips rob the government in contracts and other ways, thereby imposing burdens upon posterity that will bring squalors to the home of the laborer and shadow the future of the toilers ‘yet' unborn.” LUTHEEA?S RAISE TOTAL OF 172,328 IN MINNESOTA A tofal of $172,328.12 has been raised in Minnesota for the national Lutheran war fund, it was announced ifn Minneapolis by 'S.

MISS WILLMER TONIGHT “Miss~ Sarah Mildred Willmer, reader, will appéar in the Methodist church auditorium this evening, un- der the auspices of the Wooman’s Study club. Her program promises to be educational and unlifting, as well as clever and entertaining. Miss ‘Willmer is sald to be without an equal in temperament, emotional power and ability to move an audi- ence, and she has often been termed “the Sarah Bernhardt of the ly- ceum.” The entertainment commen- ces at 8 o’clock. DOING THEIR “BIT” Rev. 0. P. Grambo, pastor of the Lutheran Free church of the Fifth ward, reports splendid success in the National Lutheran Soldiers’ and Sailors’- Welfare drive in his ward. The Nymore congregation has given $68 and the Aardahl congregation $26.60, making a total of $94.50. The aim of this drive is to raise $750,000 by the Lutherans in this country for religious work in the army and navy. A BEMIDJI MAN'S EXPERIENGE Can you doubt the evidence of this Bemidji citizen? You can .verify Bemidji endorse- ment. Read this: H. A. Lepper, prop. wood yard, 1410 Minnesota Ave., says: “Two years ago I was logging in the woods and being exposed to so much cold and rainy weather caused my kigneys to become disordered. It brought on attacks of backache, which always bothered me worse af- ter sitting down awhile. When I went to get up, shooting pains would grip me right across the center of the back and even down into my limbs. I had a tired feeling all the time and my kidneys didn’t act reg- ularly. I read such good accounts of Doan’s Kidney Pills I tried them, and they were not long in ridding me of the trouble entirely.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’'t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doar’s Kidney -Pills—the same that Mr. Lepper had. FostersMilburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv. a's prep- ' CO .the ?"";;,‘%"“%'fingauau ' .

What we need, and need badly right now, is a tree commission hav- ing absolute control of all street planting” The trees shouid be’ tak gway from the owners: of abuttin property. He should neither bé h responsible for thém nor allowed gouch them, any further -than any city taken over street, curb and dewalk, and allowed a narrow strip of private property to intervene? Why does the city partially control it? Is a divided interest and responsibility conducive to the best results? A study. of our street planting will quick-' 1y bring an answer. Not one in a hundred is competent to-choose the right tree for a street. The same per- centage’ will care for- them properly, and about the same number will agree on. the same tree. No resident of Los Angeles need be told of the outcome of such laxity of control, or, rather such absence of control. The need.for & change is great, and the problem cries to high heaven for relief. When will it be ‘solved, and solved aright? How long are we to continue under present conditions? = All . know & change must come—why delay? Our charter framers may help us out by providing for a tree commission In full control, with a corps of trained experts, to give us a city in the near future of which our residents for all time may be proud as the really city beautiful—Los Angeles Times. “* §2er resident of the city. Why has PUTTING YARD TO BEST USE Bulletin of Department of Agriculture QGives Some Valuable Information - to Those Interested. ' . The best methods to follow and the best crops to grow in order to make a small area like & back yard produce the maximum amount of food for the family are discussed in a publication of the United- States department of agriculture, Farmers’ Bulletin 818, “The Small Vegetable Garden.” In addition to furnishing information in regard to the fundamental principles of gardening, this bulletin describes in detall the culture of all of the common garden plants, and also furnishes a ta- ble showing in a conclse form the quantity of seed needed for each kind of vegetable, the proper way and times to plant, and the material required to produce the crop. To make a small area produce & large amount of food, the bulletin points out that not only every foot of available space must be utilized, but -| that late or succession crops must:be planted as soon as the earlier.plants have been removed. To carry-.on’gar- dening in this intensive way requires careful planning in advance, and it is recommended that a detailed diagram of the garden be drawn up and the va- rlous suses that it is planned to put each portion to, throughout the grow- ing ‘season, be clearly indicated. On this plan the success or failure of the varlous, enterprises should be noted and the plan itself kept as a guide for the following year. Encouragement Counts. In every town there are a few of taste and purpose who will take the helm. To thoroughly arouse public in- terest 18 a long and arduous task. Make a beginning. Results will at- tract attention and gain support. It was Gladstone who said: “One ex- ample is worth a thousand argu- ments.” Organize, interest the local press, interest this' department, your efforts and progress will cheerfully be given place and encouragement in these columns. Every year of the past decade Mr. Reed has written thanks for substantial aid given “Reed and Riverside” in city beautifi- cation. In a very recent letter, in re- viewing the progress of street plant- ing in Riverside, he writes: *“I re- member very -distinctly the very effi- clent aid T received through the ‘City Beautiful’ department of the Times.” Let us hear of your work, no matter how humble or how small the com- munity—aid and encouragement will be extended to all alike.—Los Angeles Times. ‘Algl‘ A JOB?
