HINT FOR AMATEURS, NO. 2. Sugaestions About Shade Trees.

Few city lots are adapted for tree plant ing Trees take up much room and con- sequently reduce the space for flowers. sprubbery and even lawns to almost eiaIly desired and lawn space is available 1t Is advisable to set out only such vari- cities as are noted for their small size. pretty foliage. and attractiveness during the Towering period. The larger varieties should be confined to the street borders exclusively
 The only proper place for shade trees in city Is in the lawn space bordering they should be uniform in size. This can be accumulated in one of two ways either by the residents of whole street agreeing upon one kind of tree to be planted or by the appointment of city garden director or forester empowered with authority to control and oversee the planting of all trees. Most of the East ern cities have an official of this descrip- ton. 'a't
 Before trees of any description are pur- chased 1t is essential that the ground is first carefully examined. When one stops to consider what elements a tree has to combat to maintain life-smoky dust. loaded, poisoned air-it Is easy to under stand why the best of soil becomes a ne- cessity. - :,
 The more good earth you can give the tree the better show it will have to live and repay you for your labor. Where the ground has been filled up to grade with all sorts of miscellaneous material notf- ing less will do than a hole eight feet square and three feet deep. filled with good loamy. soil, for every tree; where the ground is clay or sand the same size hole should be dug and one-half the soil taken out mixed with an equal amount of good soil before filling in.
 If you are going to plant trees don't t defeat your own purpose by stinting them of their necessary environment AS said before, trees have so many handicaps to overcome in city they must be given soil. "'~

CASES ARE POSTPONED
IMPORTANT WITNESS IN ROB-
 BERY CASE ABSENT.
Trial of Alex Wilson, Sam Cartledge and Jim Wilkins Will Be Tried at Next Term of Criminal
 Division City Court.

Alex Wilson. Sam Cartledge and Jim Wilkins were arraigned before Judge W. H. Thomas in the criminal division of the City Court yesterday afternoon on the charge of robbery.
 The case was continued on account of the absence Of Daniel Mum of Louis Vllle. Barbour County. the chief witness against the men. The continuance was th" third one that had been obtained in the case. The case was continued from the February term of last year because of the illness of Jim Wilkins one of the defendants. At that time Mum was on hand to testify. At the fall term an- other continuance was had on account of the absence of Mum. Yesterday Mum failed to turn up to testify against the accused men The civil authorities of Barbour and Dale Counties sent back the subpoenas that had been sent to them with the information that Mum could not be found and that it was reported that he had left the State
 The attorneys for the accused men in- sisted that the case be either tried or dismissed as the accused men had come forward twice to be tried and the State would not allow the trial to proceed
 Solicitor LomSx said that the propo- sitton to dismiss the cases against the three men because postponement had been asked for twice was preposterous They were before the court charged with capital offense. an offense punish a ble by death. The State could not go into the trial of the case without the testi- mony of the witness. Mum. He asked that the case be allowed to go over Judge Thomas announced the case would be postponed until the next term of court
 The men are accused of "nticing Daniel Mum. countryman from Louisville, in- 10 room on Commerce Street and talk ing his money from him al the point or pistol

ADVERTISERS AMATEUR GARDENERS CONTEST
 WILL FILL YARDS WITH PRETTY FLOWERS
Interest is Being Mani feSted and Beautiful Yards Will Be
 Seen.

Inc Advertisers Amateur 0erdenerS' Contest is growing in interest daiiy.. The warm rays of sunshine which served to revive the buds and blossoms on yester- day after the short cold snap, also gave new life to the contest.
 Amateur gardeners were in tvide,,ce yesterday in many parts of the city armed with hoes. shovels or rakes pre- paratory to the spring campaign on the home plat. Rubbish and trash were eiv- ing away to clean raked yards. while a number were busy digging up the fresh ground and arranging for beautifying the premises.
 Quite a number of enquiries are com ing to The Advertiser about the contest. One enthusiastic woman on Monroe Street wrote to the Garden Editor and wanted to know if she would be permit ted to enter the contest as custodian of two adjoining yards to her own. Most assurediy-anv member may embrace as much territory as he sees it. the more the merrier.
 The Advertisers idea is to beautify the whole city. if possible. If any one per son deeirfs to tackle more yards than his own. all that Is necessary Is to lay CiAtiu lV NWudteNeE dmOunt OI Sp4CG ne IS privileged to take care of and improve.
 A number of names were enrolled yes terday for entries both for front and back yards In the contests. One woman on the north side in entering her name for the contest stated she was sure she would win the first prize for her back yard. That's the way. be sure. then 70 ahead. There was also an inquiry from uew member as to wien the inspections were to take place. The Comnittee on Awards has not been named. That is not uecesSary for some time. It Is expected that inspections of all yards will be made between the first and fifteenth of July. That will be when all yards have had ample time to grow and be at their best The awards will be made perhaps, . month later.
 Thats the way. when you don't see what you want. ask for it.
 Letters and questions of all kinds are welcomed. Especially letters from those who have had some experience in growing this or that Kind of . vine or flower or plant in this part of the country: write letter to the Garden Editor and give your views on these subjects, you will help your neishbor and all will be bene- fted These columns win be open for the free discussion of how to grow fiowers and beautify homes for the next sixty days, Let every one interested contrib ute his mite.

nothing grander or better adapted than the Norway and hard maple. Catalpa. if timely trimmed back. will also serve the purpose. but 1t is even better for the spacious back yard.
 For the center Of the city the honey To- cust and Chinese Ailantus. or. Tree of Heaven. are recommended. The former seems to thrive anywhere while the lat ter Is so hardy tllat a noted botanist once said: T believe 1t would grow on top of a smoke stack" The Ailantus, however. has some bad qualities; 1t sends up suckers all around 1t and its blossoms have an odor that Is far from pleasant. Both these drawbacks can be remedied, fortunately. for sharp knife will keep the suckers in check. and care to plant only male plants will avoid the ill-sniell- ing blossoms
 Poplars are quite pretty when young. and if cut down and replaced every if teen or twenty years are we'll suited to city life. To accomplish this young trees should he planted between the older ones and when the former have reached a satisfactory size the old ones should be cut down and replaced by new ones.

Large trees should never be selected for


 Large trees should never be selected for p.a..,...s A,ong street borders. They must be young in order to adapt themselves to existing conditions. In planting elms the trunk should not be over three or four inches in diameter catalpa, maple or oth- CT varieties, two to three inches. One tree to twenty-five-foot lot is sufficient: |: eims require even more room, as In ma ture age fifty feet Is none too much. Trees can be planted close together when young, but as soon as their limbs begin to touch one another every other tree should be removed. This Is highly inn portant Hundreds of trees are killed or crippled every year because they are too close together. For broad streets the American elm is recommended. The white ash. though a stately tree. has of late years been so severely attaoked by the tree borer that Its day of usefulness Is past. Another large tree that has thrived in spite of drawbacks is the honey locust: It's ten dency to spread can be suppressed by iu- diclous pruning. otherwise 1t will give little shade.

An interesting question was sprung at the State Capitol yesterday when 1t was suggested that there is a probability that the Autographed life certificates of reg duration furnished to qualified electors by the County Boards of Registrars may be an infringement upon the National cur rency laws.
 The blank certificates of registration were designed by Secretary of State Rob ert P. McDavid and were made in Nash vile. Tenn. They are lithogra phed in green ink and although the words Life Certificate of Registration" are printed across the face of the blank in large
