strategy. : “All they've got left now is the commander-in-chief strategy which B don't think will be enough to win.” Senator Taft said he was pleased over the fact That the period for filings had closed in Ohio today with no one filing against him for the G. O. P. senatorial nomination. On the soldier vote question, he said he believed congress would pass the compromise bill and that if the President vetoed ‘it no attempt would be made to override the veto. This would leave on the statute books the law which provides for the mailing in of postcards as applications for regular state and federal ballots. The editorial association passed a resolution commending the Republicans in congress for the stand they had taken in the fight over the soldier vote question. In another address before the association, Herman Roe, of the national G. O. P. publicity division, said that the recent by-elections to fill congressional vacancies point to a sweeping Republican victory nationally in Novemker. Leo Kinman, Shelbyville, was advanced to the presidency of the edtorial association. Others chosen were Floyd Oursler, Cynthiana, first vice president, and George Huish, East Chicago, second vice president. Claude Billings, Akron, was reelected secretary. The Republican state committee held a routine meeting in conjunction with the editorial session.

YOUR VICTORY GARDEN—

Constant Flow

of Moisture

Necessary for Germination

. By HENRY L. PREE Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

SEED SOWN in dry soil may germinate to a degree, but unless there is some moisture within reach, the tiny plants will not develop.

Soil moisture should be constant vegetables are to be desired.

and uniform if yield and quality

It is well to start your watering program when you sow seed. Often the ground is very dry at seeding time and a little water poured into

the trench is an aid to germination. This is also true when seeds, Sich 48 GUD 45 Pile Ans. aje

Mr. Pree Finger sowing insures an even distribution, saves waste and much work in thinning. Cover the seed with soil w the required depth, re-mark the row line and tamp down the the flat side of the hoe A board to insure contact

much trench and cover seeds o conserve soil moisture,

Cultivation begins as soon as a crust forms on the soil or a few weeds make their appearance. Cultivate SHALLOW; deep cultivation turns over the moist soil

' and loses the beneficidl effect of

the moisture on the germinating seed. Over-watering. is dangerous, so water only when the garden really needs it, Test the soil by digging down an inch or two and checking moisture conditions. If the soil is dry, get out the hose and _ SOAK. It is better to water-once-a week to a depth of several inches than to sprinkle lightly each day. Early morning watering is recommended wherever possible. Sandy soils require more fre-

quent watering than clay soils, a | gna

soil rich in humus requires little

watering, and. large plants more

than young plants, Again we caution—try to give you vegetables a constant and uniform supply of moisure.

Red Cross. Depend on Red Cross

All the women expressed great confidence in the: Red Cross, learning from it how to send the boys books, packages, letters and many times where their’ boys were, “The Red Cross has been swell’ and we owe a lot to them,” Lt. Moreland wrote his wife, Mrs. Lester Moreland Jr. 5876 Broadway. “They give us the best food they can and whatever else they can get for us. Just keep your chin up and make the families do the same because I'm well and safe and there is no need to worry.” So far, Indianapolis lists 50 servicemen in German prison camps and 31 in Japan. The society, though mainly for relatives of prisoners of war in Germany, also will welcome those having captives in Japan or Japanese-held islands. . As wives and mothers informally chatted after the business meeting, they learned that some of the boys had hamburger and sauerkraut or a meatloaf of Spam for Christmas dinner. "Prisoners Become Friends They also discovered that their sons or husbands were in the same camps and had met one another. .
