RELIEF AT HOME Many and often have come the ~ap- peals for the relief of those in distress n other countries as the result of the Far. With geverosity and promptness Mere has been a response of which this sountry has every reason to feel proud. It has given spontaneously and system- | Mically for the relief of humanity in loreign lands, those left without home b food, thoss dependent upon charity \ rom without the border of thelr conn- iy, those orphaned and neglected and fose cxperiencing the ravages of dis ! jase and hunger. It has made no differ- mce whether the call came from those Who suffered from the war, whether they vers in famine-stricken regions or shether they were the victims or dis- ster or pestilence. The need being s thown and the appeal made, help was f j00n on the way. But the cry of suffering humanity is aseded not sclely when it comes from )ther sountries. We are mindful of un- jorgunates abroad but we cannot over- fook those right here at home. We are #ct regretting what we have done for. )hens but we cannot meglect our own %ic is 4o be expected therefore that there #1ll by an adequate response to the call #hich Eao been lssued for the provision i fund's Decessary for tre administra- of relief to those of the flood area vong the Mississippi valley, where grea: in accord with other countries, and in that desirable move we took a promi- nent part, but that doesn’t warrant us in discarding all means of defense or re- ducing them to such a number that they would be next to valpeless, Conditions are such that the war basis can be abandoned but the peace basis is something which should be reached by other than a hit or miss pol- fey. That is the position taken by the senate cpmmittee, one that will proba- bly be supported in that body and when the matter goes to conferénce the wis- dom of it ought mot to be difficult to im- press upon the house.

In this respect we can learn an important lesson from Germany, where forest fires are practi- cally unknown. As the price of lumber advances, possibly We may learn a lesson of cautlon. Among the beautiful thoughts of Dif. Henry Van Dyke is this: “No matter how cruelly you hack a sugar maple, you get nothing but sweetness from gashes.” A much older writer expre: the same idea in these words: ‘Retus good for evil” It was the greatest xt; all who said: “Love your enemies,” which was a supreme test. There are but two ways of dealing with wrong. It is either “an eye for an eye and tooth for tooth.” or it is “do gw0d to them that hate you.” It is either to avenge or to forgive. Both methods of procedure are in vogue. but we fear the former is mora general than the latter. We see it in the awful feuds of the south that have e: ed in some .cases more than & hundred years, where no ome of the contending | parties has died a natural death. But 1 am Jnclined to think ghat the latter is more. common. than we think because it is always less advertised.

Two lessons here: 1. The tightwad | who gets all he can and gives forth nothing, living in a physical and social Sahara. 2. The necessity of absorbing if we are going to produce. The stone collected the Tain, but nefther used it nor gave it. The green grass received it| and gave it to the profucing earth and was receiving large interest for doing so, The man who absorbs also produces, and the reward is more life.

Thus far we have received | nothing in the way of reparation for oo- | cupation of the Rhineland by our soldiers which was promised. What does Ger- | ‘many propose to do with this great sum? She is not paying any of her debts. Have We not a right to inquire whether or not this money fs going to be used to pre- {pare her for another attempt at European assassipation? Since the war closed Gérmany has not given the least sign of repentance for her awful orimes.

If American bank- ors loan her money under such conditions few tears would be shed if tiey lost every cent. Columbus Is a name that will never die. A man who by a great practical ex- periment settled for ail fime the mooted question of the earth's sphericity is bound to be immertal, It is well for us who so tully enjoy the fruits of hts aiscavery to recall something of the man on this an- his great feward Ma@ 20, 1506, at Valla- dolid, Spain. Columbus is a conspicuous fllustration of what may be accomplished by persistently followinig the urge of a mighty purpose. His ideas of geography were those commop to the day. By sail- ing westward from Spaln he expected uitimately to reach the Bast Indies, but something lay between of which he had Mot the faintest conception. To the per- sistency of purpose was added the exalt- ation of a religious faith. I he sought fo ind material treasure he desired aiso to lift up the standard of the cross. When he died, 416 years ago today. the world lost the greatest navigator that ever lived. Several wesks ago I devoted a para- graph in this column to Conan Doyle and his message: to the American people. Since that date he has been talking some —and it has ‘been great stuff, too. This We are ready fo admit, even though we are not converts to his theories. Not the least susnicion of insincerity attaches' to #ny of his &peeches, and jt is difficult to understand how so great a man could mistake flusion for remnty. But when he tells us that he bas seen his dead b, has heard him speak, and has actually kissed him, we simply wonder. What I can’t understand is this, if Conan Doyle's boy can come back and speak, why: car't ‘mine or yours? Can it be only the high ighty who hold fellowship with the dead? "If the dead can come back, why don’t they come to the broken hearts that ae left desolate? It may be that a man Holmes can even juggle with the dead.

It is this last or hor- ultural point of view that I would especially consider. “In asquiring native plants for culti- vation the idea of collecting them per- onally should be urged. Then the con- itions under which th are known and can be imitated as far as possible.

The fine yel- low Helenium auansis are quite at home under ordinary garden conditions, as are also the Western Aquitegia chry- santha, and Cassia Maritumnale and Boltonia asteroides make greal masses of bloom in the gutumn garden. Physo- stegia virginiana prefers a moist place but will grow well in dry soil; it spreads so rapidly and is so difficult to eradi- cate that while .attractive it is most un- desirable in a garden. The Seuthern Iris cristata with its delicate blue flowers and also Southern Iris cuprea do well n light well-drained soil, while our Northern blue Iris versicolor will grow in ordinary garden soil, but prefers a damp place. “Many of our native ghrubs of small flowering trees will grow successfully in ordinary garden soil.

Our native Crataegus of several species are most desirable to cultivate and it is best to add lme to the soil to insure results. “A number of ndtive vines do well in the garden under ordinary soil condl- tions.
