PACIFISTS HOLD CONFERENCE. more forms types or New York, May 29—(By Union As. 1 socia'ted Press)—Pacifists from many sectionsjof U)js United States are gath ering here today to participate in the pacificist conference which opens to morrow under the direction of the Em ergency Peace Federation. The meet ing is termed "The First American Conference for Democracy and Terms of Peace," and those in charge have 'had a rather stormy time in prepar ing for the conference because of the widespread opposition to the move ment in many quarters. HOME TOWN HELPSfcü tiful ber are HARM IN "KNOCKING" TOWN if City äovsmment Is Not What It Should Be There Are Other Reme dies, It Is Urged. It is easy to fall into a habit of petty criticism and detraction either of individuals or Institutions. In the ono case, when directed by one person against another it is co nmonly and rightfully classed as malicious gossip or slander. In the other case it Is sometimes loftily designated as an exhi bition of public spirit. Both are alike, a shnme and disgrace to the perpetra tors, an evil that should be suppressed, says the Indianapolis Star. Men, naturally enterprising, who, un der favorable circumstances, would push the Interests of the community, are deterred by the feeling that they would meet with criticism and have encouragement, and saying to them i selves "what's the use?" remain pas sive, leaving other cities to go forward ! where thetrs makes do headway or goes 1 back. Outside capitalists who hear the echoes of this detraction go else ! where with their factories and shops. If a city government is not what il should be, there are formal and order ly means of reforming It. If a police force is inefficient, a remedy Is possi ble without giving to the world the Im pression that crime is rampant and life unsafe there by day or night. It public service corporations do not act squarely and fairly by the people, there are legitimate remedies for such If any public officer to 18 to . no by or after conditions, makes mistakes, there are other ways of reaching him than by branding him as a rascal of the blackest dye. Men in public office, being human, have been known to be open, to friendly re monetrance. But the common scold, either in pri vate or pébllc. never accomplishes good. ® m ® a m (§) ' ■ BACKYARD GARDENING PAYS <® m Cleveland Has Tried Flan for Five Years to Its Profit, and Many Other Cities-Have Taken Up the Idea. **A vegetable garden for every home," Is the new slogan in Ontario, and It is a slogan worth while.

The great variety in its size, color, form, and season of bloom ing makes it a most satisfactory plant In fact, for a for supplying cut flowers. of the Improved sorts produce many flowers equal in form and size to some of the better sorts of chrysanthemums. The range of color presented in this 'group is one of its chief merits. Strange as It may appear, the plant world is not very well supplied with blue flowers possessing characters which render them suited to- domestic or commercial uses. In the aster, how ever, are found many shades of blue and purple und for this reason, if for no other, the aster should prove attractive decorative plant. The habit of growth adapts the aster not only to close planting for cut bloom, but some forms are rol>us© tall-grow ing plants, well adapted for use in an herbaceous border where late bloom and careless effects are desired. The compact-growing, large-flowered an more forms are most desirable for cut blooms, while the tall-growing, open types are most useful In wild gardens or for screens. The wild aster (aster V » Aster. novae-angllae) Is one of the most beau tiful and most satisfactory of this latter class. The vigor and ease of culture of the aster are factors which contribute to its popularity. ! Plants from seed sown In the open ground In May bloom finely ln Septem- , ber and October, when the flowers are seen at their best. For July and August bloom, seeds should be sown In j March or April in a cold frame, spent. hotbed, or in pots or boxes in a living . Cover the seeds about half an inch deep with rich, light soil and when the jffants have three or four transfer them to thumb pots or It of of Is il Im and It act such room leaves to other boxes, setting the plants about, two inches apart each way. After all | danger of frost is past transplant the plants so treated to their permanent | home, where they should stand about 18 inches apart each way In well-pre-1 pared beds. Fresh manure or manure used in too large quantities sometimes ] proves injurious to asters. Only thor-1 oughly composted manure mixed with | the soil is safe for these plants. Small i quantities of air-slaked lime, or of fresh wood ashes, stirred into the sur face of the aster beds prove benefleial to the plants. When given plenty of water and rich, fine soil asters can be grown into beautiful pot plants. . In some localities and during some the aster is seriously attacked seasons by the so-called black potato beetle blister beetle (epicauta Pennsyl vania), an Insect which feeds upon the partly developed buds, causing them to develop, if at all, into de formed^ irregular blossoms. In such localities asters can be successfully under screens of mosquito net or grown ting or other thin cloth. him Men have re pri GAILLARDIA In the galliardlas are found both annual and perennial plants offering a wide selection of varieties and a profusion of bloom over a long period.
