Among the amendments to the cov enant of the league of nations sug gested at the meeting of neutrals oday, were several which urged an increase in the number of secondary countries admitted to the executive control of the league; the reduction of armaments and the control of Wttitiojl Bftnjife&ur&i, , v How Home One of the first obstacles encoun tered by most town gardeners is in breaking up and preparing the soil, but the difficulty is far from insur mountable. v The farmer has teama and plows and can easily prepare his garden, but in the city it is hard to obtain a plowman, and in most cases the garden area is so small as to make it difficult to work a team. Where it is not feasible to plow the land, spiding will have to be resorted to. In fact. United States Department of Agriculture specialists believe a good job of spading is better in the long run than plowing, and, while it requires a larger amount of hand labor, the work can be done at odd times and will not prove burden some. There are cases, however, where the land is so hard that it can be neither plowed nor spaded, and about the only method of breaking it up is by use of a pick or a mat tock. This would seem like an im possible proposition from a garden standpoint, but, on the other hand, hundreds of splendid city gardens have been grown on just such land. In some cases the rocks removed from the soil have been sufficient to construct a fence around the outside of the garden. Don't Tempt Your Parsnips. Do you want long, straight car rots, parsnips, and salsify, or crook ed, forked ones? Ask your wife; she has to peel them. ' f All these roots have good inten tions; they want to keep straight, but they can not stand adversity nor withstand temptation. If they strike rocks or clods on the way down, they become forked or twisted and if lumps of stable manure are in the soil, they bend toward these or send out branches in that direction. Dig extra deep, making the soil fine and mellow where these crops are to grow, and see that all manure is finely pulverized and all fertilizer thoroughly mixed with the soil. Fine, Fertilized Soil Essential. The essential in preparing a diffi cult piece of land for a garden is to get the soil broken up fine to a depth of 8 or 10 inches and to in- corporate with it ' a considerable quantity of stable or barnyard ma nure. The supply of manure in cit ies is ' now limited, and gardeners should make early arrangement for the amount they will need. As- Arab Prince Tells of Part Mohammedans Played in War Crownprince of Hedjaz Relates Proposed United States of Arabia Says Moorish Influence Wpuld Welcome Zionists in Palestine Look to America for Their Future. - --'V" By, MERTOp EMERSON, Special Correspondent of Universal ' Service. Paris, March 21. What claim has Arabia to -national independence? Prince Feisel, lineal descendant in direct line from Mohammed and son of the king of Hedjaz, the grand sa reef of Mecca and Medina, has been one of the most interesting person ages at the peace conference. Highly educated himself, but forti fied with a linguist, A. H. Kisbany, of Lebanon, who -is high in the af fairs of the Arabian state, his high ness has set forth what the Arabian peoples have done in the great war, what they desire in the way of a na tion of federated states and how they proposed "to develop the land they live in. Here is his statement in part:, - By Prince Feisel of Arabia. People of the United States, I am led to believe, do not understand the true -thought and effort of the peo ple who speak the Arabic language. I say "people who speak the Arabic language." This includes the people of Syria, Palestine, Mesopotamia and so on. I he people of these dis tricts live in cities and many of them are highly educated. In 1916 the Arabian state was rec ognized by the British, French, Ital ians and the Russians and the king of Hedjaz was welcomed as a king and ally by the British and the allies. A he Arabian army was composed of Syrians,; Mesopotamians and Arabians. We dealf"with the Turks on the outposts of Hedjaz, in six months expelled them and captured thousands. At that time we had about 12,000 men while the Turks had more than twice that number facing -us. v The Turks who had been our op pressors, seized the sanctuary at Medina. We did not wish to destroy this olace bv bombardment, so we left the Turks there, but surrounded the city and cut them on. They ca pitulated. After surrounding Medina our army proper proceeded north. Wei attacked the Turks at Akaba, cap tured the port and made the place our own base of supplies. At this time thousands of Syrian soldiers in the Turkish army deserted and made their way to our camp, where they were welcomed. We had the Turks at our mercy and, as you know, by the records, fully 85,000 surrendered. We .then entered Damascus, which had ex pelled the Turks. The Turks declared a holy war. The grand sareef of Mecca declared against a holy war. This action es tablished peace in central Asia and steadied Egypt and north Africa. This kept Persia out of the war. I wonder if the rest of the world understands that this is really what happened? , - Joined When '.Gloom Was Darkest Here is another thing which will, I think, convince you of our sin cerity: The king of the Arabs joined the allies when the fortunes of the allies were at their lowest ebb in the east. The British army in Mesopo tamia was then surrounded at Kut-El-Amara, where Townsend was at the mercy of the Turks. Also 'the allies had just withdrawn from the Dardanelles. But, relying on the al lies' promises to guarantee the de pendence and freedom of the Arabs, X d;i U9J l& flAS mmeni waver, to Plan, Locate Food Gardens LININQ THEM UP This is the way the Victory Gar deners are getting ready for work. Send to tne National war uaraen Commission, at Washington, for a tree garden book, enclosing a two cent stamp for postage. suming that the average back-yard garden will be about 30x60 to 40x80 feet in size, it is safe to recommend the application of one large two horse load of manureMd each gar den. In some cases. vacant city lots have been used as a dumping ground for manure and no additional fertili zation will be required. This is-the exception, however, and as a gen eral rule it will be necessary to ap ply fertilizing material to the land. Wood Ashes Valuable. Gardeners frequently inquire as to the advisability of using coal and wood ashes on garden soils. The 'use of coal ashes is permissible on heavy clay soils. However, they should be screened before being ap plied, and then should be spread evenly over the surface and thor oughly mixed with the soil as deep as it is plowed or spaded. Coal ashes have little value as fertilizer, their use being mainly to loosen the soil and make it more workable. Wood ashes, especially those pro duced by burning hardwoods like hickory or oak, contain as high as 7 per cent potash, and are valuable fertilizers. Those produced from burning soft woods, such as pine, and also hardwood ashes that have been exposed to the weather, have comparatively little value as fertil izer. About 60 pounds of dry, un leached hardwood ashes may be ap plied to a plot of ground 30x60 feet in size, but should be well mixed with the sou. Our sincere desire is to establish a state which will liberate our peo ple from the fnnuence of the Turks and stabilize civilization so that the east may have her share. Our wishes as to federated states would include the Arabic-speaking people of west ern Asia, the people of byria, in eluding Palestine, upper Mesopo tamia, known as Jevirah, lower Mes opotamia, known as Irak. Arabia proper, meaning the desert district, and the coast districts of Hedjaz, Yemen and Nejed, as the fifth. The northern boundaries of these states would be along the southern side of the Taurus mountains from Alexan dres to the Persian border. Welcome Zionist Pioneers. Concerning Palestine, we welcome the Zionists to have all rights. We welcome them all over our country. After all we, come from the same ancient stocks and the Hebrews are nearest to us in blood. Their lan guage is very close to ours. We have no conflict in character and we feel that the Arabian countries are their real field for development and progress. Let me call your attention to the manner in which the Arabians and Hebrews have prospered in Spain. They are largely responsible for the Moorish influence there. We welcome them to our lands because that is what our lands need, people who will develop our re sources. Foreign Investments, My attention is called to the for eign investments in Syria. It is true there has been the investment of money there; the French are interested to a sum of perhaps $15, 000,000. We are glad to have them here, but we cannot see why the country should be given over to the French to rule because of this. Leg islatively their investments will be protected and the plan for a league of nations will guarantee their safe ty from outside attack. We will protect all financial in terests. That is our future. We will encourage otther interests and investments from Europeans and Americans to help us develop our lands. We want money and ' ma terial Our only condition is that these people come in as our friends and not as our conquerors. The greatest center in the east for education is the American college at Beirut It is really the source of the present Arabian movement for freedom and independence. ' There are half a million Syrians in the United States. . Is America to allow the home land of these people to be divided as booty in the war?

MAY BEGIN SUIT TO BREAK WILL OF LATEBANKER Omaha Nieces of Late Mil lionaire Nebraska Bachelor Said to Resent "Favorite Nephew's" Big Share. Omaha people interested in the es tate of the late W. T. Auld, at Red Cloud, Neb., have received informa tion that the will may be contested by Eola Peterson and Alice Un zicker, of Omaha, nieces of the dead capitalist. These prospective con testants, who are now in Florida,' are reported to have engaged a Lin. coin law firm to represent' them in the case. Mr. Auld made his last will during the closing days of November, 1918. He died two months ago in Cali fornia. He was a bachelor, and his estate has been estimated between $1,250,000 and $1,500,000. Left Large Estate. Mayor Smith of Omaha, whose former law I firm did considerable legal business for Mr. Auld, states that he understands the 'estate amounts to nearly $1,500,009. The. will provides for bequests in favor of two sisters, a brother, and the two nieces referred to. J. W. Auld of Red Cloud, s nephew, is made the residuary lega tee for everything not specifically mentioned in the will. It is estimated tha.t, according to the will, this nephew would receive three-fourths of the estate. W T. Auld was president of a Red Cloud bank, in which this nephew was cashier. Mr. Auld was interested in the Corn Exchange National bank of Omaha and knew many Omaha busi ness men. He lived here for a short time after the establishment of this bank. He maintained his legal resi dence in Red Cloud. Say Uncle Incompetent Judge Sullivan of Omaha, attor ney for the estate, said he had heard of the proposed contest by the two nieces, and he explained that if they should make the contest, it would be on the grounds, that W. T. Auld was incompetent to make a will at the time that the will now on file in Red Cloud was signed. the will is set for probate in Red Cloud on March 28, at which time an administrator, will be appointed. By the terms 'of the will, H. S. Clarke, president of the Corn Ex change Bank of Omaha, and J. W. Auld, nephew, are executors. Mother of J. W.
