They don’t stop to realize the important part that plenty of good, wholesome milk and cream plays in keeping America healthy and strong. "I’m proud to be doing a productive job— and glad I can get all the electricity I need to help me do it!” That cream separator is a tiny item in the nation’s use o f electric power, but it’s typical of the thousands of efficient and economical ways in which electricity is helping to SPEED PRODUC TIO N throughout America.

After flower ing is over, water should be gradual-, ly witheld and the plant allowed to rest for a few weeks. They should never become dry at the roots, but should receive just sufficient water to keep them alive. Then at the ap proach of warm weather, cut them back to a compact, symmetrical shape and plunge the pots to the rim in the garden in a semi-shaded location. As they grow, keep them pinched back to shape and in the fall before frost, take them up and indoors. If condi tions are not too dificult for them (dry air is the greatest problem), they will probably bloom again though perhaps not as early and nev er as satisfactorily as the first time. This is the weather that keeps us inside and then our indoor tasks in gardening begin. Examine stored gladiolus conns and dahlia tubers now and then. Pay close attention to house plants. They need more moisture and fresh air than the average homq can sup ply without aid. Do not use cold wa ter from the tap on plants: let it stand for a few hours. Feed plants in pots and boxes with plant foods made for the purpose. Cultivate the soil frequently by scratching the sur face lightly. Wash the leaves of fo liage plants every few days. Watch for mealy bug (look like small bits of cotton flu ff) and spray with soap or nicotine preparation for them. Christmas plants may be kept in blossom and sturdy for weeks if fad If the snow is still here, remember ed flowers, seedpods and imperfect the native birds.

OUR DEMOCRACY -by M at Electric Industry has network of lines ready to deliver power anywhere! 1 .3 0 0 ,0 0 0 SQUARE MILES OF AMERICA You read o f shortages of airplane engines, ships and anti-aircraft jpm s. But have you ever heard o f a shortage of electric pow er— except from somebody running for political office? N ational SECURITY of the power supply has increased tremendously since 1918. America today has 4l/2 times as much electric generating capacity as it had only 22 years ago. Thousands of miles of high voltage transmission lines have been built to interconnect pow er plants and power load centers. W ho did this great job? The private power companies— the much-maligned "holding com panies”— they’ve done more than 90% of it. They have provided America w ith the most com plete and efficient electric service in the world. T h a t’s why America is prepared, electrically, and why G overnment funds and m anpow er can be used for O TH ER defense preparations where there is an ACTUAL need. B* WERE CARELESS OF TIMBER.
