Exposure T Intentional Duplicate SOUTHERN SENATOR SEES*“TRAIL OF GREED” " IN'WAR PREPARATIONS Washington, Feb. 27.—Sgnator J. K. Vardaman of Mississippi, speak- ping,in the genate, .denounced the _.trajl of greef he said inyestigations “'had shown:-in“aH ‘of America's prep- arations for war.: - - '.‘.g;J_nYeStlgatjuns into the ship- ~“puliding ~industries of the United States,” said Senator Vardaman, ‘““the Hog Island infamy; for instance, to- gether with the shortage of coal and scarcity of sugar, have led me into the various 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 lips 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.” LUTHERANS RAISE TOTAL OF $172.328 IN MINNESOTA A total of $172,328.12 has been raised in Minnesota for the national Lutheran war fund, it was announced in Minneapolis by S. H. Holstad, state campaign director.

The selection of teachers will not be made for some time, but the mat- ter is to be gome over carefully. FOOD PRICES SOAR Washington, Feb. 27.—The labor department today announced that food prices advanced two per cent throughout the country in the month ending January 15, MISS WILLMER TONIGHT Miss Sarah Mildred Willmer, reader, will appear in the Methodist church auditorium this evening, un- der the auspices of the Woman'd Study club. Her program promises to be educational and unlifting, as well as clever and entertaining. Miss Willmer is said 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 Ily- 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 $26.50, 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 kidneys 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 T 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 Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Lepper had. Foster.Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv. CONTROL OF TREES IN CITY Los Angeles Newspaper Advocates Commission Which Should Wield Absolute Pnyer. What we need, and need badly right now, is a tree commission hav- ing absolute control of all street planting.” The trees shouid be taken away from the owners of abutting property. He should neither be held] responsible for them nor allowed to touch them, any further than any- ot.:er resident of the city. Why has the city taken over street, curb and sidewalk, 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- Iy bring an answer. Not ome 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 a change 1s 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. PUTTING YARD TO BEST USE Bulletin of Department of Agriculture Glves 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 a 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 detail the culture of all of the common garden plants, and also furnishes a ta- ble showing In a concise form the quantity of seed needed for each kind of vegetable, the proper way and times to plant, and the materlal required to produce the crop. To make a small area produce a 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 -uses that it is planned to put each portion to, throughout the grow- ing season, be clearly indicated. On this plan the success or fallure of the varlods 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 is 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 I 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—ald and encouragement will be extended to all alike.—Los Angeles Times.
