READY TO START
YOUR GARDEN?
All Right, Take Paper and
Pencil and Plot It; Loca
tion Important
Are you ready to begin gardening?
All right. The first thing to do la
to sit down with paper, pencil and a
straight edge and plan your work
for the spring.
At the start, what about the loca
tion of your garden? If you Intend
to spade up the back yard you will not
have so much to say about this; but
if you can choose garden space In some
vacant lot there are certain points to
keep in mind.
First, get a southern exposure if
possible; that is, ground gently slop
ing to the south or southeast. Such
ground matures vegetables early. A
building, a hill, thick shrubbery, or a
tight board fence on the north side of
the plot breaks cold, spring winds and
adds to the forcing process. Higher
ground is likely to produce earlier veg
etables than lower and gives protec
tion from late frosts on nights when
the heavy cold air settles in the low
places.
Character of Soli Important
Character of soil, too, influences the
maturing of garden crops. Light,
sandy soil, because it readily absorbs
the warmth of the sun, is best for
early crops. Knrich such soil with
manure If you can procure any. Heavy
clay tends to form in clods which do
not help plants to grow, but it is re
markable how a good dressing of ma
nure will Improve such soil in a single
season.
Drainage is important, but • most
yards and vacant lots are sufficiently
well drained.
Now when you have your garden
plot selected, draw an outline diagram
of It. The crops you must select for
best results depends upon your space.
If your space is small do not attempt
such crops as corn, potatoes, melons,
squashes and cucumbers, for they take
up much room. Better devote your
garden space to such vegetables as
peas, onions, string and lima beans,
carrots, beets, lettuce, parsnips and
other vegetables which will grow
abundantly in close rows.

MONDAY EVENING,
URGE PROHIBITION
AS WAR MEASURE
Great Campaign Will Be Open
ed Here Tomorrow Night by
Dr. Crafts and Mr. Howard
"As saloons are closed in a riot,
much more should they be closed in
war, as in Russia; not alone for ef
ficient mobilization of troops and ef
ficient manufacture of munitions, but
here for the additional reasons that
we have had bread riots and peace
riots, and may reasonably expect race
riots and draft riots, if saloons re
main to promote the 'contentions' for
which liquors have been noted since
the days of Solomon."
This is the argument for immediate
statutory enactment of national pro
hibition as a war measure by major
ity vote in Congress, as a part of moral
preparedness, which is the motif of a
two weeks' campaign by Clinton N.
Howard and Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, un
der joint auspices of the International
Reform Bureau and various local
churches and welfare associations,
which will open here to-morrow.
Other meetings will be held In Bal
timore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, York,
Lancaster and Coatesville. The details
of the moral preparedness that will be
asked of Congress will be left to the
"National Legislative Conference," rep
resenting all temperance forces, which
is to convene in Washington on April
17, of which both Mr. Howard and Dr.
Crafts are members. This campaign
was previously undertaken for the
"bone dry" national prohibition, which
Dr. Crafts assures, "all temperance
leaders save one regard as not less but
more in order because we are moving
into the world war, in which the su
preme victory has been Rusia's peace
ful revolution, which would not have
been possible if vodka had not been
previously dethroned." "Triumphant
democracy in China," Dr. Crafts re
calls, "is also built on prohibition, and
March 31, 1917, he thinks, was cele
brated as China's Independence Day,
because it marked the time when John
Chinaman and John Bull burled John
Opium by the termination of the Brit
ish opium treaty, despite vast sums
offered by the Opium Combine for its
extension.
Scraping Skeleton Bone Dry
Prohibition in the world's two larg
est republics will be made dynamic for
the completion of the anti-liquor war
in our oldest republic in an entertain
ing double-headed lecture sometimes
described as "Scraping the Skeleton of
John Barleycorn 'bone dry' in the Joint
funeral and wake of John Optum, John
Barroom and John Barleycorn." Back
of the famous humor of Howard and
the swift survey of Dr. Crafts of
"Trenches won on many fronts," the
central prophetic strain of the cam
paign will be: "In the name of The
Only King the liquor traffic must
die."
The addresses will be at 8 p. m., ex
cept when otherwise stated, on prayer
meeting nights preceded by a half hour
of prayer for national preparedness.
The meetings will be as follows: April
10, Harrlsburg, Grace Mtehodlst; April
11, Philadelphia, Temple Lutheran;
April 12, Baltimore, First Baptist;
April 13, York, First Presbyterian;

Senator Knox Said to
Have Earned SIOO,OOO
a Day For a Week
Palm Beach, Fla., April 9.—A
story about a big fee received by
Senator Philander C. Knox, of Penn
sylvania, who spent the winter here
until March 4, when he left for Wash

H. Baldwin, the other night, after

visitor at Palm Beach. When the sub
ject was finder discussion, however,
the following story, which was vouch
ed for, was told about Mr. Knox:
That the United States Steel Corpora
tion some time ago asked him to do
a specific piece of work for them
which did not require his presence
in court. Mr. Knox, it is said, with
his usual great concentration accom
plished the work in seven days, every
hour of which, except when sleep
ing and eating, he gave to it. Then
ho sent in his bill, it is said, for
SIOO,OOO a day, which was paid with
out any argument.
