CARDS LEDGERS One may have had but inferior results with the packets of seed last year, but the fault was not too personal, due only because of the slight error in not selecting the new and improved variety. Consider: “They have proved to do well even during the hot and dry weather;” “This is made up from named, large-flowered varieties and is great- ly superior to the general mixtures;” “This section is valuable for cutting;” “The early, free, and continuous blooming qualities of this variety have made it one of the great bedding plants;” and, “The plants succeed in almost any soil and position, and ywer during a long season. While they will con- e in good condition and flower freely for many years without attention, yet they respond quickly and are improved by cultivation.” Here at last is a method of surpassing neighbors of yours in raising almost anything with wprising perfection all season long with no symp- | tom of exertion. those While yet snow and frost threaten, the most favorable time for gardening is at hand. Put an- other log on the fire, adjust the light, relax and read the new catalogues No Notes, Please (Philadelphia Record) we have learned some lessons from Not so many years ago there would been vast public resentment over an incident uch as the British seizure, at bayonet point, of mail from an American clipper plane at Bermuda. And there would have been notes, The State Jepartment would have sent a nasty note to the British. Notes are like words—one leads to another. too often, to trouble, v, in this case at least, our attitude is more ent. Though the incident happened January 18, the State Department has sent no notes, For ich wisdom it appears we have Secretary Hull to A rently JUS WArs. And iank. He has made it clear that he doesn’t like vhat the British did, but at the samne time he point- ed out that the clipper planes don't have to stop at Bermuda. In other words, no serious damage was us: nothing to warrant our sticking our necks ) the no-man's-land of technical “rights” during done There is no indication that the public is going either. We seem to to get very excited about it, ha Jearned that when a war is going on, you ither get in or stay out—completely. There’s not much sense in writing indignant notes to men with hands, uns in their fighting desperately for life. Plain Stupidity (Cincinnati Enquirer) When one looks up the Swedish town of Pajala n a map, he naturally wonders first of all why seven Rugsian bombers should be so far from any important Finnish population center or military ob- jective. One would not be surprised if Red planes 'ked towns along the railway leading from Fin- o Sweden. But that line is 85 miles from Pajala at the nearest point, The conclusion is inescapable that the Soviet Government is bombarding the Swedish-Finnish frontier indiscriminately, and thus deliberately at- tempting to frighten Sweden into stricter neutrality by showing what penalties she will pay for active intervention on Finland’s side. Whatever the motive of the Russian leaders in ordering flights over or near Swedish soil, the effect is plain. The intensive bombardment of a Swedish | town has given new strength to the already con- siderable “activist” movement within Sweden. This faction is making ever stronger demands on the government to intervene with armed forces to aid Finland. With great popular support, it ma yet override the caution of the aged sovereign and his equally cautious ministry, Russian leaders, like those of Nazi Germany, make their greatest mistakes when they bluff foreign peoples. Because they rely on brutv force at home to keep their populations submis- sive, they naturally incline to similar tactics when seek to “pe pade” neighboring peoples. Germany has attempted to keep Holland and Belgium in line by threating invasion. Russia, now habituated to the imitation of German methods, apparently using the same foolhardy tactic. in with the threat of Swedish intervention. is dealing A survey at a New York university reveals that | | the boys prefer girls who are able to talk intelligently about civic affairs or affairs on the campus—"at least say yes and no with some understanding.” A little later on just the yes and no.
