The law is ai. excellent one and badly needed for several years pasi, as in many of the cities weekly papers are no long, r I üblished the law making questi-u. able the publication of legal notices in daily* papers. President Wilson certainly des tilings when he starts put to do then:. Usually* he succeeds in* his efforts io get measures through congress but alarmed neutrality bill was defeated re cently by the senate filibuster. Th" president '•pent but little time grieving over the act but immediately so' Io work to correct the faulty part o' the senate rules. As a result a cioiture rule was adopted yesterday. 76 to 1 placing power in tlie hands of tw thirds the members to limit discus; sion. and this after a century under the old rule, it is admitted that if th" president now calls a special session his desires for authority would la grantt d within a few days Have you stopped to think that five cents worih of camp seeds will raise enough of that vegetable' to keep the average family supplied all white , that five cents worth of lettuce seed in a space three feet square will Ripply salad ali season, that a few i-ems worth of cabbage seeds will produc" hundreds of plants, the same amount 1 invested in tomato, beet, cucumber, beans, onion seeds and the like will pay you over and over for the invest nient and the trouble? We are in earnest in this appeal that Decatur and Adams county have more garden spots this year than ever before. In many cities large concerns are furnishing free seeds to encourage this thrift garden movement and in Ihos > places where it was tried last yea.*, 4 - * • 410 '/ 1 1 MJ*) ipjjj «• *' . .iMk / I COPYRIGHT BY 'i\ ill ed v pß ' ce • co.
