Someone has said that “soil, seed and toil will make a garden.” Nothing is farther from the truth. With that combination you have but three-fourths of the ingredients necessary to pro- duce garden crops when they aPawanted and in the largest measure. You must ipelude braius in the list of things necessary to garden making. The difference between a good garden and a poor one usually is the difference between a good gardener and one who does no. early planning, nor lata cultivation. a Early planning, garden experts point out, has little in common ‘with early-spring; it is some- thing intimately connected with winter, with.the evenings when the family congregates round the _ dining room table and wonders when this cold ’ weather will end. \ There is, assert these same garden teachers, no ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE |he satisfied with the title and salary.

It maylead) to popular elections of presidents of France, who shall be executivessand not rubber stamps; and which may confine Parliament to purely legisla- tive acts. Such a government would — bring Irance nearer to the Ameri¢an ideal and farther from the British form, sug HOW'S YOUR VOCABULARY?. There have been different estimates placed on the number of words in the English language. Rut 300,000 is generally accepted.as a fair esti-| mate. in, everyday practical use. Milton, who wrote “Paradise Lost” had a yocabulary of not mote than 7,500 words. - Shakespeare, who wrote and) wrote and wrote, had command of 15,500 words. But they were exceptional men. The highly cultured manor woman of this day rarely ‘have a vocabulary. exceeding 5,000 words., And very seldom, it is said, will be found a person in the ordinary walks of: life who is able to use_more| than two or three thousand of the 300,000 words inthe language. On the other hand there aye people who are of such a type that they are lim- ited convergationally to the usé of no more than} 300 words. Where do you rank? Are you up there with! Shakespeare? Do you fall in the 5,000 class Or| are you just one of the “ordinary folks” with a talking asset of between 2,000 and 3,000 words HE’S A BRICK.” What do you mean, “Iie’s a brick?” That is classical slang if there ever was any, for its ori- y better gardening time than right now—this very evening. For garden planning is not a thing one gets away with by a moment’s effort. One must go at the subject with plenty of time to do it justice. There is need for an accumulation of seed: catalogs with reference to garden books one may borrow at the library, and consultation with family tastes. Also there is necessary a survey of ground, one’s own backyard, or a nearby \va- cant lot. And, by the way, just as the early bird gets the worm, so does the early-garden planner get the’ nearest vacant lot. . Before going after the-lot.it may: he well to learn if the soil there is gin dates back to the time.of the Spartans, when it was meant to conyey the thought. that the man |- to, whom “He’s a brick” was applied was loyal] and brave and heroic. aa| Plutarch tells the story. An ambassador ffom. fspirus was shown by the king over his capital. This ambassador knew of the fame of King Age- silaus, that, although nominally only the king of Sparta, he was really the ruler of-all.Greece. «So he.looked for great fortifications. He'saw none. He asked the king why this was thus. ‘ “Indeed, Sir Ambassador,” replied King Age- gardenable. -If that, lot was idle last summer there may have been a reason ; poor soil, too much shade, too low and damp. . a = Our. fi end, the artist who Mes atinual car- toons poking fun-at the Seed catalog, readers; might aswell laugh at the law student because he reads Blackstone, or the physician because he studies the anatomy\of the human body.

He must know that’ some seeds produce early and some late; that. some must be grown in. warmed, sheltered seedbeds so they may be transplanted to the garden after danger of frost is over, and that others may be sown very early outdoors even if there should be possibilities of other “cold spells.” . é : Yes, the seed catalog is a fine textbook for garden planhers to study. It is nicely illustrat- - ed. The pictures are highly encouraging—if one ; could produce tomatoes like those the-artist. pic: tures in the seed catalog, one would have no other worlds to conquer. te / Retailers returning from the shoe dealers’ con- vention in Milwaukee claim the girls of that city ~ tried to vamp them. THE FRENCH RULING POWER. When is a president not a president? “Why, : when he’s president. of France!” everybody’ re- plies. \ : But this may not be the answer if one Alexan- dre Millerand comes out on top in his battle with > the: French Parliament. Milletand is ambitious. ¢ He wants to be president of France. He already ‘has the title and salary. But the parliament of France now is the president; it is the ruler, the! power behind, before, and on all sideg of the throne. It has been so since France turned from Bourbonism and Napoleonism to Republicanism. Millerand may not succeed in this battle. He » may have to let Parliament pick his cabinet ; but no man, who knows Millerand well believes one “battle ‘will endit. He is not,alone in the desire * to make the president, and not Parliament, the chief executive of ‘France. ~ ‘As it now stands the French president is elect- .ed by Parliament. He has no responsibilities. It “has long. been a “speech-making” job. The éabi- net is selected by the premier, who must be ac- ceptable to a majority in the Chamber of Depu- tigs, and who can be overthrown at any time by </a majority. The president cannot exercise any executive power without getting the counter sig- ;- nature of a‘minister, who in turn is responsible . alone’to the chamber. ’ He is indeed a fr ng- *urehead. .That is why few great Frenchnfen have been willing to accept the presidency. ‘ : There are many Frenchmen who insist. that the president never can be the real ruler until }tomorrow and I will show you the walls of Spar- silaus, “thou cannot have looked carefully. Come ta.” And on the next Yay the king-led the ambassa- dor out on the plains where his army was'on pa- wade.

A SERMON FOR YOUTHS. , The editor happened to be in court a few min- utes yesterday afternoon when Judge Englert im- | posed sentence on a sixteen-year-old boy for bur: glary. Prior to pronouncing the sentence the. judge gave that boy-One of the al talks we have heard delivered from the bench and we have heard: many. It was a heart to heart talk that should have a lasting effect on ‘that boy. Judge Englert tried to show him what his crime meant to him through the remaining years of \his life. The court wanted to let this boy go and would have had it not been for the fact that he had previously committed crime and had broken out of jail before ‘his sentence had expired, showing to the court very conclusively that, he did not have very much regard for law.‘ Judge Englert was truly grieved at having , to sentence this) young boy to one year in the penitentiary but wisely concluded that ‘one who seemed to disre-| gard thelaW and coptinue in the path: of crime! needed something along sterner lines to teach him respect for law and. probably to.set him! right in the future. The judge talked to him just like a father would to a son. He pointed out to|. him what the stigma meant to those who in later} years might become part of his family—he might | get married later oh in life, have cliildren and the! wife and children might at some time or other®- | because these facts will creep out—have his fath- er’s prison record thrown into their faces. He urged that: boy to hereafter weigh. these conse- quences and walk straight and. hereafter be a man. The talk of Judge Knglert made a great impression on those who heard. it, thé. editor among tlie number, and we want! to say that it) was a real talk full of human kindnesmore than} that of one sitting as a stern judge placed on the! bench to administer justice. We felt rather heavy hearted when that, sentence was passed on that boy, but we believe it-was the only right thing to do in his case. Here’s hoping that, he will profit, by.the experience and when the- prison doors roll open in about nine months he will walk forth into the world determined to live an up- . the power of election is removed from Partia- ment, and placed in the people.

Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 yéars and calomel’s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab- lets. They cause the bowéls and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action: if you have a “dark brown mouth” — bad breath—a dull, tired: feeling—sick headache—torpid _liver—censtipation, you'll find quick, sure and pleasant Te- sults from one or two of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets at-bedtime. sarceeqielo— ase the certainty of war. itive is there for any wo- man to bring into the world a zs pawey: ALS! and she whispered some- thing to Nick.
