PLANT SEEDS INDOORS TO GROW EARLY VEGETABLES IN GARDENS

SEED AND SUCCEED. Early to bed early to sprout. A time for everything, especially for planting. Some seed left in that packet? Ask ; your neighbor.

By using a seed box or window box in which to start plants of cab bage, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, celery, and perhaps lettuce, the home gardner may get these crops into edible maturity several weeks earlier than if he waits to plant them out of doors. Making the Window Box. It is a very simple matter to make a window box by nailing together the narrow sides and ends and then nailing the bottom on to these. The boards or strips used should be light in weight, about one-half inch thick, about 4 inches wide for sides and ends, any width available for the bot torn. The window box should be of such size as to be easily handled, perhaps 12 to 15 inches long. A store box of convenient size may be sawed lengthwise and across the ends 3 or

water carefully so there will be no leaking through the bottom. If a piece of glass is placed over the box it will keep the moisture and warmth in and cause more rapid ger mination and cause rapid growth of the plants. Enough water must be given as required to keep the plants growing thriftily. Set the box in any warm place un til the seeds begin to sprout, then place it in the sunshine by a window. Take Out Surplus Plants. When the plants are from an inch to an inch and a half high, they should be thinned to one or two inches apart in the row so as to give them space enough to make a strong, stocky growth. If it is desired to keep the plants which are thinned out, they may be set two inches apart each way, in other boxes prepared as men tioned for the seed box. When the weather becomes mild, the box of plants should be set out of doors part of the time during the day so that the plants will "harden off" in preparation for transplanting to the farden later. A good watering should be given Just before the plants are taken out of the box for transplanting so m that a

WASHINGTON Slackers there have been in every country of the world when engaged in war, and slackers there will always be, according to Captain Edwin Bower Hesser, author of "For the Freedom of the World," which will be presented at the Washington theatre on today and Thursday. Captain Hesser was director of recruiting and publicity for the American Legion of the Canadian Army, and had many interesting experiences with Canadian slackers.

A woman's life had been wrecked by a Southern gentleman and gold had become her God, but the rest of this great tale is told in "A Soul in Trust," which will be thown at the Murrette theatre tonight. Belle Bennett is in the lead, supported by those sterling actors, J. Barney Sherry and Darrel Foss.

MURRETTE . Washington is deeply stirred by the reported effort to involve Senator Franklin in a disgraceful scandal. The conspiracy was the work of Wall Street schemers anxious to obtain inpide information on the senator's views on a governmental project wherein the senator's voice is the deciding factor. There was a secret, however, a secret of mother love be-

.- Barring the unexpected, the Richmond high school basketball five will complete the basketball tourney at the Coliseum Friday night with flying colors. The first game with Rushville Friday morning will be test of the tourney for the R. H. S. quintet. Friday evening's game will be with Milroy St. Paul at 8:30. If Liberty eliminates the Cambridge five, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock will see the Richmond high school five in action against the Liberty quintet. By the arrangement of the schedule the Richmond team must play both of the strongest bets in the tourney in order to prove its superiority and gain the honor of attending the state basketball tournament at Bloomlngton the following Friday and Saturday. Both Rushville and Liberty are considered fast teams and will test the endurance and ability of the R. H. S. basket shooters. ' However, Richmond basketball fans feel that they have nothing to fear as ihey are confident that experience that the Richmond representatives have pained through playing the strongest contenders of the state tourney has made it the safe bet of the tourney. The Richmond basketball crew is in oxcollont condition and Coach Mulling is putting tho finishing touches on. The team was put through a 'stiff practice Monday evening and will hold a light practice Wednesday eve

gravel or fine cinders and fill nearly

full wun ncn son iu m uwajtu vegetable matter or of manure like that used in potting house plants or freenhouse plants. Most gardners have a compost pile which will furnish the kind of soil needed. The rich soil beneath or around decaying logs Is splendid for this purpose. Press the soil down firmly in the box with a small piece of board, then with a thin strip, such as a cheap ruler, make rows crossways, 2 inches apart bv pressing the edge down 4 to Vi inch. Distribute 8 or 10 seeds per inch in the rows and cover with rich soil or fine sand. Press down the soil again with the piece of beard and

If you have Catarrhal Deafness or head noises go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength), and add to it hot water and just a little sugar as directed in each package. Take 1 tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take. Any one who has Car tarrhal Deafness or head noises should give this prescription a trial. For sale by Clem Thistlethwaite.
