I GERMAN PAPER8.

i In some quarters there Is Intense .Qii&littg against Mr. Viereck and his v^riswspaper, which was formerly known

The Fatherland.

•Jg^ji^foreck. shortly before America en'^'tored the war, altered the name of his publication from The Fatherland to ,j The iAmerican Weekly. •SkPi the current issue of this publicaSllw§i0f Vlereck has an article entitled 'J .^Provincializing America." He says that England is conducting an insidcampaign to undermine our Intelic%ial independence.

Another artiele is called "A Platonic it expresses praise of Germany's stall declaration that she will not :war on the United States and fcei* the hope that the United States "be equally generous and that the fsS^uggle may end without actual conp|t/ between German and American soldiers. discussing the nation's dlBtinj^gyhphed guests Viereck refers to Vivi£am?as "a'bigoted anti-Christian" and

the public would have but one explanation for the high cost of food, the board of trade.

The actualities of war call for many readjustments. Preconceived opinions must be revised in a number of directions. For Americans this may be a process more than ordinarily difficult at first. For Americans are accustomed to a maximum of personal freedom a minimum of governmental interference.

Measures pending in congress propose to confer upon the president a degree of authority in the production, distribution and sale of food products and other necessities which in times of peace would not be tolerated. No one doubts that these measures virtually in the form offered will be adopted. Few will question their wisdom.

Other nations in war have resorted

the expedient of naming food dictators. America faces no such necessity as yet, though signs are not lacking that such an extreme measure of safety may eventually have to be resorted to. The peril of a great and irretrievable disaster confronts us—a peril to be fought on the farms and in the factories as well as the front.

It is imperative that there shall be no waste, and just as imperative that therQ be no speculation in necessities. If the full power proposed in the pending bills in congress are required to stimulate production and to curb the capacity of the few who might try to capitalize their country's misfortunes for their own profit, then the full power should be exercised without a moment's unnecessary delay.

There need be no hesitation in conferring unusual authority upon the responsible head of the government under such conditions. Conditions are themselves unusual.

And while the closing of the Chicago board will not alter pricfes a shade, it may in a way balance the public mfnd on food conditions, which will be all right too.

A FARMER'S WIFE.

Holding to the theory that not one whit of information should be lost that will serve to add to the general welfare, The Tribune reproduces this letter from one of its country readers:

To the editor of The Tribune: Wciuldn't you think it the height of foliy if the farmers, instead of attending to their own business, should, as a people, undertake to tell the city people what to do in this crisis—what to manufacture and how much? It is the same the other way 'round. The farmers know their business. They have fed the world from the beginning.

Do you realize how worse than silly this "grow potatoes" talk is? Suppose the farmers listen to the cry of the city and plant every $4 potato they can get Suppose also there is another potato crtp failure like last year, which was caused by weather conditions and not by the farmers, where would the farmer stand? And think of the ground wasted. Again, suppose there is bumper crop. They might bring fifteen cents a bushel, ahd where would the grower, get pay for his $4 seed and his labor? Some farmers would be ruined. Leave the farmers alone, they know better than to "put all their eggs in one feasket."

The banks (some of them) offer to loan money for seed and take the pay out of the crops. Do you know what that rheans? It means as soon as the crop is harvested, sell and pay the bill. At harvest, prices are always at their lowest, and if the farmer has debts then is the time to crowd him.

There Is a constant kick because so much land is lying idle. Why is it? It is because they are grinding the farmer into the dust. Keep on grinding and they will have to get out and do some -of those nice, easy farm jobs for themselves or go hungry.

A FARMER'S WIFE.

If any one else has anything to add to this, or has anything to say on the subject, The Tribune will be glad to hear from them. Any one else?

Society women of Philadelphia have agreed to limit the dinners they give tp three courses. We'll be glad to get back to the good old days when a knife, fork and spoon were the only tools we had to know how to use.

A stranger in New York went to ^eep in a taxi and when he woke up his money was gone. At least he got a bed for his money, which isn't the usual way.

What a lot of reminiscences we are going to have to tell our grandchildren when we get to garrulous old age.

Dill pickles have advanced in price. That's one increase you won't relish.

Spring has beeft a horrible disappointment to the poets this year.

TEN YEARS 'AGO TODAY.

From the Tribune File*.

May 12, 1907.

Returns of the Y. M. C. A. building fund are still coming in. The sum of $125 has been secured by the different teams.

The entertainment, "Scenes in the Union Depot," which was given at the North Christian church Friday evening, was a great success.

HOROSCOPE.

"The Star* Incline, But Do Not Compel."

Sunday^May 13, 1917.,

According- to astrologery this is an unfortunate day, for there is no planet that guides toward success and happiness. Uranus and Mars are both in strongly malefic aspect.

Uranus is read as influencing the mind toward strange beliefs and unnatural emotions. Misunderstandings and dissensions are common under this away of the stars.

It is an unlucky rule for love affairs. Engagements made today are likely to lead to tragedy.

Rumors of war and even real trouble may ,be expected, if the planets are read aright, but nothing serious is to be ejxpected.

There is a forbidding sign for surgical operations and for surgeons. Delays and disappointments are indicated.

Prohibition may become a nationwide provision through some unexpected condition. The manufacture of liquor, also, comes under a sway promising severe restrictions.

Uranus gives warning that in certain quarters men who should be patriotic will extort high toll from those who prepare for war. This influence of the planet may be discovered among barbers, purveyors of food, and small shopkeepers.

Among peace advocates defections and misunderstandings are foreshadowed, but men most prominent in working against the war preparations have the prognostication of reinstatement iii public favor through national service.

Wide fame for a woman orator of California is prophesied. This woman will gain notice through some heroic or patriotic act.

Chicago comes under a planetary government that means fine achievement in large enterprises. Philanthropists will win national gratitude.

Persons whose birthdate it Is should not speculate or lend money in the coming year. Attention to ousiness will assure success.

Children born on this day will probafaly_be extraordinarily talented, but thi*se§^bjects of Taurus are not likely to haveVnuch business acumen. e\^iuch

YOU CAN PLANT CHARD

Makes a Slife-Fire Crop and Will Furnish "Greens" Until Late in the Season.

(By Tribune Gardener.)

Swiss chard is used only for greens and possesses some of the good points of spinach, cabbage, beet greens and kale. It can seldom be bought in a market yet those who have a taste for greens in summer should surely plant chard in their gardens, advises the national emergency food garden commission at Washington.

It makes a sure-fire crop even in the hands of beginners and against adverse weather conditions. Chard has large, light green wrinkled leaves supported by broad white stems, growing directly out of the root crown. The white branched root is not eaten.

Plant two ounces of chard seed to 100 feet of row. Make the rows eighteen inches apart. When the plants are well up thin them out so they will stand about six inches apart.

When the crop is ready for use, either cut out the oldest leaves on each plant, leaving the younger ones to grow, or cut off the entire top, taking care not to injure the root crown where the leaves sprout, and the plant" will continue to produce. Thick stalks of
