PLANT, PLANT, PLANT.
Every available bit of ground in Terre Haute back yards, on Vigo county's rolling: townships, and in the valleys of western Indiana and eastern Illinois should within the nepct week or ten days be put Into raising food products. The present experience with the high prices of the necessities of life is severe enough. With another short crop this year the country is going to be confronted with conditions not far from famine.
Thinking men are not hesitating to urge everyone who can increase the country's food supply an ounce, to do just that thing.
The suggestion made by J. Ogden Armour that the government should control food prices, including the prices of meat, and that meatless days should be established by law, may or may not meet the Judgment of congress at this time, but Mr. Armour's attitude in the matter will meet instant approval.
We are being pressed on and on into a condition never paralleled in the history of this country, asid a condition which has bitter possibilities.
The exorbitant prices of food even now before wo have moved a man into the war are a hardship on a great per cent of the population. If a short crop ensues and real war conditions materialize within the next few months, it does not require any gift of prophecy to know that drastic conditions are ahead.
GIRLS WHO WORK.
A Terre Haute employer in search of young woman to. fill a vacancy in his staff, told an applicant that tlrough he had several girls in his employ there was not one among them whom he could promote to the position, which paid a salary twice that they were receiving. "They're nice girls, sweet as a caramel sundae, but they seem to have cerebral anemia," he said. "They're good for nothing but routine work that's as plan as the nose on your face. They might have familiarized themselves with the business, but their interest in it centers in their pay envelope. All they care for Is a little jmore money for clothes, and personal Independence. "They want places that make the Ijfeast possible demand on their intelligence.' They will work with a fair deV\. f— Jgpee of faithfulness—with one eye on the clock and the other on their pocket

mirrors. They have no ambition, no initiative, will not assume any responsibility. They do not grow with their work but remain the same careless, inconsequent creatures as at first, waiting for some unwary man to come along and marry them."
Those are harsh words, Jack Dalton. Recently we had got just the opposite impression. It will hardly be denied that more and more women are coming to fill responsible business positions. If all of them kept one eye on the clock and one on their vanity cajse, this would not be true. The plaintiff in this case seems to have poor luck in picking them.
Our modesty alone prevents us from suggesting that he try a help wanted "ad" in the Tribune.
THE NEW LITERATURE.
Easily the outstanding literary tendency of the day is the free verse movement, usually referred to by its French appellation of vers libre. Free verse has a whole school of disciples, a magazine, and has achieved half a dozen anthologies. It is called free verse because It is free from rhyme and the customary forms of rhythm. It is also for the most part free from poetry and is frequently free from sense, though the latest trait is not claimed by the vers librists as part of their poetic platform.
The alleged senselessness of free verse at its freest has remained a matter of dispute because the accused poets have always been able to assert that the hostile critic simply did not understand. To dispose of this sort of defense Joyce Kilmer, who is himself a poet beside being literary editor of the New York Times, laid a trap for the emancipated bards. He wrote three poems in the most approved vers libre style, and sent them to the editor of a free verse magazine, after he had gone over them carefully and assured himself that they made absolutely no sense. This was one of them Even when I look at the locomotive Holding the round earth from falling into space By means of its magnetic feet, I see the caterpillar. Green, wet, fat. A stain on grayness. Dead beside, or under, or Is It above?
Now the anti-vers libre critics are snickering, for not only were the poems accepted, but their author was asked
Culver Men In City Get Call To Service
Several Terre Haute boys have received calls asking them if they are ready and willing to attend an officers' school to be held at Culver Military academy. The boys asked to attend this school are old Culver student?, who are to be trained to act as officers for the Culver division which is being planned by Col. L. R. Gignilliat.
Col. Gignilliat and C. C. Chambers, president of the Culver legion, made a trip to Washington, D. C., and conferred with the secretary of war and members of the general staff of the army, relative to the organization of a Culver division. The plan received gratifying consideration.
The Culver division is to consist of 20,000 men as follows: Three brigades of infantry (three regiments in each brigade) one brigade of field artillery (two regiments) one regiment cavalry, one regiment engineers, one battalion signal troops, one aero squadron, one ammunition train (or more), one supply train (or more), one sanitary train, one engineer train. At least 600 Culver men are wanted to fill vacancies in the grades of captains and lieutenants.

KEEPING UP WITH MA.
From the northwest, where women are* erroneously supposed to be mostly pacifists, comes this heart-warming story of feminine pati-iotism.
At a public meeting held in Twin Falls, Idaho, to discuss the war, a motherly woman arose and said: "1 have lived in peace and quiet under the stars and stripes for almost fifty years. I have helped to build a home and rear my children in this great land of splendid churches, schools and institutions, and in all this time no sacrifice for my country was ever asked of me until now. Can I do less than give my boy. "Let us send our sons with cheers, and as few tears as possible. When one of our boys stands on lonely guard duty at night, thinking of home, let us be glad to have him say, as he remembers how mother cheered his going: "Wasn't mother a great old sport' Didn't she buck up fine!'"
There's plenty of that fine Spartan spirit in the country today. Perhaps a million mothers will have to give up their sons—not forever, but with a surrender that will seem at the moment complete and eternal because of the grim uncertainty of war. And they will give them willingly. They may shed tears, but nearly all of them will be "good sports."
A window cleaner and $40,000 worth of jewelry disappeared from a New York store simultaneously. Perhaps the man cleaned windows in more than one way.

Use "Tiz" for Puffed-Up, Burning, Aching, Calloused Feet and Corns.
Why go limping around with aching, puffed-up feet—feet, so tired, chafed, sore and swollen you can hardly get your shoes on or off?.

"Tiz" makes your feet glow with comfort takes down swellings and draws the soreness and misery right out of feet that chafe, smart and burn. "Tiz" instantly stops pain in corns, callouses and bunions. "Tiz" is glorious for tired, aching feet, sore feet. No more shoe tightness—no more foot troubles.—Advertisement.

Despite the superstition concerning Friday, the thirteenth, this should be a lucky day, for Jupiter and Mercury rule strongly for good.
It is a sway under which to prepare for large undertakings, to begin new ventures and to extend old enterprises.
There is a sign presaging immense profits for the government of the United States and large money gifts from wealthy patriots.
Although the planets apparently do not give any hope of peace in Europe until after the end of this year, there is little cause to predict serious conflict for the United States with any foreign power.
Graver perils to the country are foreseen twenty years hence than at this time, according to astrology.
Again the stars appear to bless editors and publishers, several of whom will have public office and large responsibilities.
Educational affairs have the best promise. In this year's graduating classes the seers behold extraordinary men of the future.
Architects come under a planetary, government that promises much profit. There is a prophecy that they will rebuild one or two famous structures.
July is likely to be a month of grave troubles. As the new moon falls in the third decan of the sign Gemini, a London astrologer predicts the death of a king or ruler.
Troubles over religion and the desecration of church.es apparently may be expected In certain places on this continent.
Persons whose birthday it is probably will have a year of success. Friends will be helpful. Girls will have wooers, but they should be careful.
Children born on this day probably will have happy lives. These subjects of Aries usually are great favorites. Girls may marry very young.

Moved To Poetry
The following original poem was qomposed by L. H. Wellman, one of the internal revenue department employes stationed at the Merchants' distillery: Our country is calling for brave young men, To defend the flag where'er she stands. Many times before since the country was born. Men have Hocked to defend hur at the sound of a horn.
So let us all come forth in haste, As our fathers did when they stood in our place. That Old Glory may still wave, mounted high on the pole. As she did for our fathers in davs of old. What can nT^ke the heart beat more, Than forty-eight stars waving above the door? It makes you think there is a warm heart within, Who will stand by the colors through thick and thin. This grand old emblem di.3played. In every town, Is the same old flag which was never hauled down. So, boys, lot us join and without delay. Defend the Mag in the same old way.

Letters From the People
Thanks.
Editor of the Tribune:—I cannot let your splendid editorial on German names go without adding a word of approval. That war with Germany should stifle our taste for German music, German cooking, German arts and .sciences and that we should show our hate by "strafing" German names is silly and cheap. As long as the Tribune retains the balance it shows in this matter, it is entitled to be a leader in public thought in the community. C. S.
Oh, Man!
Editor of the Tribune —Montana must be proud of its lady congressman. Amid "sobs" she announced tnar sne could not vote for war. The present instance proves the utter inability of a woman to fill the office that belongs to a man, should be filled by a man. I presume that the congress lady would hesitate to vote an appropriation to buy shells because when they exploded that might hurt, some poor German soldier. Let us hope that she will be the first and last, of her kind. It's .a sure thing that she will be the last from Montana. T'R. C. H. M.
Mine Work Slack.
Editor of the Tribune:—In several recent issues of your paper there have been items from Bicknell saying how prosperous mine work was here and how there is a demand for men here. This was true some time ago, but it is not true now. The mines worked but three days last week. The mine i woik at has worked ten dayq in the last three weeks. To show you that the miners here are not prosperous,, Will give von my loadings for the last six days: 55, 43, 64, 66, 78 and 78, and all expenses come out of this. Items about our prosperity induce miners to. come here and then they discover the real condition. Put this matter right befoie the miners of the district and it will be appreciated. "VVTLLTAM WALTOR.

Hair Often Ruined By Washing With Soap
Soap should.be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless, and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and, scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at.any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and. a ifew ounces will supply every member of the family for months.—Advertisement.
