The measure is a proposition to amend the constitution . itself, in the only way in which the constitution can be amended, excepting by the ratification of the work of a con stitutional convention J3y a vote of the people of the state. The real question is as to whether the Legislature had a right to pass a law to become effective contingent upon the adoption by the people of this proposed amendment; and the Attorney General says that body did have that right. There can be no doubt of this. So the whole "unconstitutional" idea becomes silly twad dle; an alibi for a few seeking an excuse for pasting their votes against the amendment Thus proposing to put themselves in the attitude of aid- a r i i u iu: . t u .. 4P ra ing in an act OI cuinniunweauu weiciuiig , in me nuie ui wic- gon repudiating its pledges to the men who helped to save world democracy.

In the old days when a great deal was said about "un fbnstitutidnal" matters, as pplying to states' rights and sla very, George H. Williams was making a political speech in Reed's: opera house in Salem, and he was frequently annoyed by a man in the audience who was under the influence of booze,! and who kept yelling, "Unconstitutional, unconstitu tional t" Finally the speaker paused and pulled out a twenty-dollar gold piece, and, directing his attention to the dis turber offered to bet the $u that he did not Know tne mean ing of the word unconstitutional. : The alibi seekers of the present occasion would be stumped by the same challenge; and they surely subject themselves to the suspicion that they are under the spell of the silly season when they talk about the constitution it self, of an amendment to the same, being unconstitutional. EVen if the law passed by the Legislature were declared to be of no effect, this could be remedied at the next session Bat a . solemn referendum of a constitutional amend ment, which is to be taken on Tuesday next, could not be remedied, and its failure would stand as a blot upon the whole (state a Rtate that in every other test has stood in the forefront with respect to all the war activities So; it is unthinkable that even a suspicion of the slacker taint should be raised now. -. .....

It is cruelty tcj depiive a hus band of his proper rnd normal ration of sleep? The question i:' before a divorce court in I'liila delphia. The husband declares that the wife denies him slumber Every lime he dozes off she jabs l.im with a hairpin, kicks him in the slats or pours water over hie 'ace. On more than one occasion she has dumped him out of bed on the floor or slapped his face because he persisted in his slum brous efforts. This is alleged to be cruelty to husbands within the meaning of the law. It would appear to be the high point in cruelty to deprive a Philadelphia husband of his sleep. . ln a city where the inhabitants are said to Sive the larger half of their lives to slumber it is a mean wife w h would refuse her husband even r small portion of his wonted re freshment. Nothing could bf more distressing than being shut off from one's sleep in Philadel phia. The circumstances that the husband snores like a planing mill can hardly be offered In ex tenuation. Man must have his eauty sleep In Philadelphia anyhow. KNOCKING THK l.N( K. The W. C. T.

Application of liquid fertilizer at the right time is one of the great see-rets of successful gar dening. A dose of liquid food often starts a vegetable or flower along when it is lagging and means a good yield where other wise there might have been none. Set aside some obscure corner ot the garden and if there isn't any obscure corner, plan obscur ity for it by planting castor beans or some brush to act as a perma nent screen, or screen it with a trellis for pole beana, morning glories or some other vlrup, and behind this ornamental screen plan to place a barrel to contain liquid fertilizer right handy to the spot where it Is needed. A vinegar or molasses barrel from the grocer's forms the most convenient receptacle. If possible place it on a substantial founda tion of some kind so that the bot tom will be high enough from the ground to permit of the Introduc tion of a wooden or metal faucet of good bore near the bottom of the barrel to draw off the fer tilizer into a pail or sprinkling ran. Burlap sacks to be suspended on strips laid across the top of the barrel so the manure will be held suspended and not be al lowed to pile up in the bottom of the barrel is the best plan. Ilur lap sacks may be sowed to hoops with strong cord so that they can be readily lifted out and in. PLACE ON PLATFORM HtGM ENOUGH 1 TO PERMIT SPRINKLING CAN BE EASILY EILLEO. DIAGRAM OF BARREL. FOR : LIQUID FEtt.TlL.lZEQ-. Poultry manure is very useful ind usually available for liquid fertilizer. Two pecks to a barrel will give the proper solution. Pul verized sheep manure in its com mercial form is an ideal fertilizer for liquid manure and nitrate o' soda is best applied in solution which can be made readily in a barrel. With a faucet lo draw off the liquid much of the back breaking work of bending over to dip the lertilizer out is avoided, and con siderable time is saved. It be comes an easy natter to devote a lew moments a day to applying the fertilizer and refilling the Irarrel when necessary. The fer tilizer should not be applied often -er tban once a week to any one vegetable or flowering plant. Underground Oysters If you do not know the vege table oyster, and for a vegetable of so delicate and delicious a fla vor resembling that of the oyster, it is resembling that of the oy ster, it is remarkable how few peo ple do use this easily grown plant in the fall and particularly in the early spring when it is at its best after spending the winter in th ground, try a small row in your garden this year. It is an ideal plant for the small home garden because it takes very little room and it in one vegetable which, despite the ef forts of horticulturists, has never greatly increased in size, the roots with the exception of the mam moth Sandwich Island variety re maining small. The oyster plant is also known as salsify and there are three kinds of oyster plantn all with strange names, the salsify, the scorzonera. and the scolymtis. The latter, of which much -was predicted when It was Introduced from Spain, has not made any headway in American gardens. Scorznera Is generally known as black salsify because the skin is dark, while the salsify, proper, is white. Salsify does not attain its best and most delicate flavor un til it has been frozen but is per fectly hardy and ready to dig as soon as you can get a spade into the ground in the spring. It needs only fairly good garden soil, can be planted as close as six inches, although ten Is about right In rows and abut four inches apart 'he rows and will yield a fine dish. It is cooked In" various ways.

The pieces should be dropped into vlnegr wa ter as soon as scraped and if un usual care is wanted, washed in water ln which a little vinegar has been placed. Avoid bruising the root in digging as the bruises will leave black spots. Try a row of slslfy this spring if you have never planted it. Three varieties usually are of fered, the Sandwich island, wjblch produces the largest roots, ; the long white and the black salisify or scorzonera. The scorzonera Is harder to raise than the others and Is not recommended for - the general run of gardeners, although many connoiseurs believe It to be of superior flavor. Ituying Tomatoe on Their Khajx". In buying tomatoes, either the seeds or plants, it is well to de cide exactly what type of tomato Is wanted. The round, regular shaped tomatoes are best for slic ing raw for salads, while the tig ribbed and wrinkled varieties give more material for canning. The Farllana and the Ponderosa ire good types of the two. For pre serves and for the delight of the children the small clustered to matoes are worth a place. The Napoleon and the cherry Tarje ties. as well as the small yellow tomatoes, are fine varieties (or this purpose, bearing great quan tities of their miniature fruits. ; Purchasing tomato seeds has become a puzzle owing to the great variety now offered by the seedsmen and the new Improved varieties introduced each year, it Is safe to order seed of the im proved strains of the older and proved varieties in case of doubt. If none of your neighbors has had experience with any of the newer varieties by which yop may be guided it is always worth while to try a packet of seed, j There Is a great variation, ln the yield, quality and shape of the tomatoes and it is only by trial that the best variety fof your soil can be determined. Seed is so inexpensive that any one can afford to try two or even more, varieties. An early and a lat variety should be planted to pro long the season as tomatoes bear Just so much of a crop and then are inclined to quit, particularly If given an early start. See that the tomatoes have all the sun there is and If In rows, plant them from north to south, if possible. Train them to single stakes at least five feet high, al lowing one main trunk and not more than two branches, which would be tied up alongside the main stem to keep the plant with in bounds and provide extra fruit ing space. A good way is to stretch wires from stake to stake and train these side branches horizontally. This, however, is likely to prevent the main shoot from reaching the height It other wise might if all branches were trained upright. It ishot a good plan to manure tomato ground heavily the sam Mring they are planted. This should he done the previous fall. Too rich soil is likely to cause the plant to run vigorously to foliage with a corresponding loss of fruit. It ne-eds plenty of fer tility but it should be decayed and quickly available It is a tood plan to avoid fr.nh manure in the tomato patch. ;arel.-n Tms fr All Tasks. With thf first warm days of spring sounding the earth call, there is a hasty scurrving around for the tools of the hardening cult. A gardener can get along fairly well with four, a spade or spading fork, a hoe. a rake and a trowel. It is even possible to tet iloiig without the las!, but who wants to? The art ot gardening Is reach ing such a point of special de velopment that there 'are tools for almost everything and the wise gardener, by a earful selection, will ease his work as much as pos sible by securing appropriate working implements. The greatest labor saver for gardens of anv extent is a little wheel oe. This saves many a backache, does the work thor otiKhly, and has appliances for various purposes which are Inter changeable from a little plow share to cultivators of various kinds. It can be used in the smallest garden. There ate numerous hoes of various types and designed for different purposes. The pointed hoe for making rows is a con venient tool. The hoe with rake teeth on the back of the blade Is one of the very handiest all around garden tools for light work-Jhere Is. It is particularly well adapted for women garden- I ogooc t-rs. Three toothed cubTMor " hoes do a fine job of stirring tha ' soil. Scuffle or shove hoesIj they are sometimes callej tjyjj tan be pushed Instead of pulled; permit hoeing rows which arto rlose to walk between convent. intly.

Jer they part com pain y from to root, le-aving it in the ground. Long bladed trowels are specj." ally adapted for digging holes for gladiolus or other bulbs in th ' spring, and tulips and fall bulbs niter in the season, and equally iisMul In digging them up. ' There are little hand rakes which are Just the thing for hand cultivation among plants whfck need special care and the eartk kept stirred. Sprinkling cans and sprari niust be added to every well reg elated garden outfit, especially spray. The compressed air sprays which can be carried slung on th back and hold a quantity of In secticide are the best lor gardens '' where there are extended opera tions but for small gardens th hand sprays, some of which xMU Ize a mason fruit Jar, will fm the bill.
