12 SCOUTS BRING SUIT TO GUARD ORGANIZATION National Council Starts Action in Supreme Court of New York The Boy Scouts of America has begun a suit to protect its name and the words "boy scouts" and "cout lng." The Boy Scouts of America has a Federal charter, and its uni form is safe, guardod by the army law. The suit is brought by the Na tional Council of the Boy Scouts of America, through its executive board, in the Supremo Court of the State of New York against the organization known as the "United States Boy Scout" for the uprpose of safeguard ing the interests of the Boy Scout movement and protecting the boy hood of America and the general public from being misled. The counsel of the Hoy Scouts of America is former Justice Charles E. Hughes, and the action is brought by Messrs. Hughes, Hounds, Schur man and Dwight. This action has been taken with reluctance because it had been hoped'that it would not be necessary. Recent activities, how ever, have so seriously promoted con fusion and threatened such injury to the Boy Scout movement that the Boy Scouts of America felt ' duty bound to take this step to protect itself and the public. The object of the suit is to re strain the defendant organization from the further use in its name of the words "boy scout," "scouting," or similar words, and from doing specific acts leading to confusion of the defendant with the Boy Scouts of America in the mind of the public. The Boy Scouts of America is op erating under a charter granted by Congress 1,5, 1916, and is the only boys' organization in the United States which is specifically authoriz ed, under section 12f> of the army re organization law of June 3, 1916. to wear a uniform any part, of which is similar to the uniform of the United States Navy, Army or Marine Corps. The Boy Scouts of America has as its honorary officers President Wood row Wilson, ex-Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft, and a large number of the governors of the various states. Its executive board and officers in clude President Colin H. Livingstone, Mortimer L. Schiff, John Sherman Hoyt, Milton A. Meßae, Professor Jeremiah E. Jenks, Judge Kranklln C. Hoyt, Frank Presbrcy, William D. Murray, Charles P. Neill, George D. Pratt, Daniel Carter Beard, B. L. Dulaney, Kobert Garrett, Charles D. Hart, Charles C. Jackson, Ernest P. Bickell and James E.

S. if Necessary Washington, Aug. 13.—The Food Administration announced last night its plan for controlling wheat, flour and bread, revealing that the govern ment is prepared to take over the whole 1917 wheat harvest if neces sady to conserve the supply, obtain just prices for American's fighting forces and their allies and reduce costs to the general public in the United States. Establishing of buying agencies at all the principal terminals, licensing of elevators and mills, fixing of a price to be considered fair, regula tion of the middleman and of grain exchanges, with the elimination of trading in futures, are the chief features of the plan. The licensing will begin Septembr 1. The minimum price of $2 for wheat fixed by Congress does not be come effective until next year, but the administration proposes to ex ercise a very thorough control over this year's crop through powers con ferred under the food and export control bills. No Present Determined Priee It must be clearly understood that the guaranteed minimum price of $2 per bushel for wheat, set out In the Food bill, does not apply to the 1917 havest, but only to the 1918 havest, and then under conditions which must be elaborated. There is, therefore, no determination price for the 1917 harvest.

F. ROCKWELL Author of "Around the Year in the Garden," "Home Vegetable Gardening," etc. Copyright, 1917, by W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Seedgrowers, Philadelphia. Abraham Lincoln used to tell a story, byway of illustrating what the promises of some of his political opponents amounted to, of a splen did boulevard ho once came across in a western city. It began as a fine avenue, flanked with magnificent trees on either ride, and wide enough for three coach-and-fours to drive abreast, but just beyond the town limits it became a dirt road, and then a cowpath.. and finally became a squirrel path that ran up a tree and ended in a knothole! Some of our "war gardens" are going to end like that this "year. Ev ery season in fact, war or no war, there are many gardeners who start out most enthusiastically in the spring and do excellently in getting their gardens started, only to have their good resolutions "peter out" toward midsummer, and finally let things slide entirely. This means that they not only lose the oppor tunity to get a fall as well as a sum mer crop from their gardens, but forfeit tlia benefits of much of the work they have already done, and by raising a crop of weeds, waste the fertility of the soil and sow a lot of ' trouble for next season. Weeds are! always ready to so to work and pro duce a crop of seeds just as soon as the gardener stops producing crops of vegetables. Don't play into the hands of the enemy! Even if you can't push this year's campaign any further, at least hold what you have gained for next spring's drive. Summer neglect of the garden is caused more often by ignorance of just what should be done than by carelessness. It. may seem a waste of time to cultivate soil from which you have already succeeded in free ing from Weeds; or to pull weeds in the rows of vegetables that have made their full growth, and will bo "gone by" in a week or two. But it is not. All the soil between the rows should be cultivated or stirred frequently until you are ready to take out the first crop and plant another. Every weed that is left, whether it is directly injur ing any vegetable or not, is robbing the soil; and most of them will have matured seed and thus provided for many hours of tiresome labor on your part before you suspect that they are half-grown, because the flowers and seed-pods are so incon spicuous. How l)nst Saves Water Anyone can easily understand that cultivation after *vet weather,—as soon as the soil is dry enough to work in without being sticky—-will help to loosen it up, and dry it out by admitting the air. It is more difficult to explain to the beginner that frequent cultivation, in a long period of dry weather, aiso helps to SCORE NARROWLY I MISSED COLLAPSE' j i Had Underwood Building 1 Fallen Hour Later Would Have Caught Many More j Occupants of the Underwood Type- j writer building, 25 North Third street, who had miraculous escapes Saturday afternoon when that struc ture collapsed, have recovered from the shock and injuries they suffered.

That is, if the surface of the soil, all over the garden, is kept finely pulverized and dry, the moisture beiow the sur face can be sax ed. The dry "dust mulch" on the surface acts just as a covering of leaves or strawey manure would do, keeping the moist soil below it protected from the sun and wind, which otherwise would cause it to be used up rapidly by evaporation. This frequent summer cultivation ! should not bo deep enough to cut or break the plant's roots. One to two inches is deep enough. If you have not got a wheel hoe, which is just the thing for this work, get a slide or scuffle hoe. This will cost but fifty cents or so; will do the work much quicker and better, and will last for years. A blade eight inches wide is better than a wider one for general use. Keep All the Ground Busy The quick growing crops, such as radishes, lettuce, beans, kohl rabi, early turnips, and peas, which every one plants in the spring, are often absent from the fall garden. There is no reason why you should go without any of these If you like them, as there is still time to plant them, and usually plenty of room to fit them in after early crops just as soon as the latter can be got out of the way. Many gardeners don't even wait for the first crops to be wholly used up, but make their succession planting between the rows of such things as are nearly harvested, so that they will be ready to take their places without any lost time in be tween. Use summer or winter va rieties of radishes for sowing now, such as Chartiers or White Stras burg. or Celestial or Chinese Rose. For tunips for quick use, the old fa vorites White Milan and Pettowski ore good. Use early varieties of peas or beans, such as Little Marvel or Alaska, and Stringless Greenpod and Longfellow.

Committees representing the pro ducers and the retail n\en will meet in Harrisburg to-night to take tinal action on the increase. On Saturday night the dairymen of Dauphin and Cumberland counties in session at Franklin Hall, Mechantcsburg, voted to advance their price from 20 to 24 cents a gallon. A five-cent raise met with much opposition and was voted down. The retailers were not represented at the meeting on Saturday night, but after the conference of the commit tees tills evening, they will probably call a meeting and take definite action on the advance. Ice cream manufacturers so far liave taken no action on increasing their prices, it was said. If the price of cream is increased by the produc ers, it was predicted that ice cream will be retailed at 4 5 cents a quart. Give Birthday Surprise to Edwin S.

Philippine Islands Increase Coin Circulation This Year Manila.—While 1916 saw a gain in the increase in circulation of money in the Philippine Islands, which amounted to 15,000,000 pesos, the first six months of this year will exceed that record increase by 3,- 000,000 pesos. The circulation since ! January 1 has amounted to 85,000,- 000 pesos. These figures, say local economists, reflect directly the high ly favorable trade conditions that have been maintained for more than two years in the Philippine Islands. The wealth of the islands i 8 in creasing rapidly. In Manila alone, the assessed value of taxable prop erty to-day, is over 103,000,000 pes os, which is more than 3,000,000 pesos above 1916. Recent agricul tural development in the provinces, the extent of which it is impossible to calculate exactly, makes it certain I that the increases in property values in other parts of the island have far exceeded Manila's record. The suc cess that attended the single week's campaign for subscriptions to the Liberty Loan testified to the pres ence of much available money in Manila. Banks and other agencies which have all the funds which they can readily make use of are another testimonial to the prosperity of the islands. There is but one drawback to the outlook —prices for sugar and copra in the United States are such as to make it unprofitable to pay the cur rent transpacific freight rates. The chief concern ia felt as to sugar. There are upwards of 100,000 tons of low grade sugar from the crop harvested last fall In the sugar prov inces, lying in warehouses. A large part of the sugar has heretofore gone to China and Japan, but the conditions in China have practically closed the market there. An unusual ly large crop of Formosan sugar has reduced the Japanese demand for the Philippine product to a mini mum. Low grade sugar cannot command good prices in the American mar kets, hence the present rate on sugar to the Pacific coast, which is $35 a ton, makes its shipment to the Unit ed States a losing proposition. How ever, it has been, thought that the dispatch of the commandeered Ger man vessels to the United States l>y the Philippine government would of fer enough available cargo space to transport the sugar. The government has assured the sugar planters that their space needs would be met. Nevertheless the government, in order not to compete with commer cial liners, is making its rates con form as much as possible to com mercial rates. Hence the rate on su gar must be lowered or the sugar men must be prepared to pocket a considerable loss by a sale, probably to Japan, in order to clear their warehouses which will begin to coma in in November.
