Controlling Nature.

Among the interesting steps in mod
ern progress has been the control and
development Of plant life. People now
living can remember when the number
OF edible fruits and vegetables was far
less than at present. and even those that
could be grown were vastly inferior to
what we now have. For example, our
parents knew nothing of the tomato ex-
cept as a curious ornament in the gar
den. Sweet corn was hardly better than
the commonest field sorts. All oranges
had seeds. Celery was little known and
poor in quality: In the flower bed the
significant hearts ease from which it
was developed, and the sweet pea traces
it's origin to the common garden vege-
table. The practical results are accom-
plished by men. operating largely for
in California and Eckford in England.
as well as by the great seed merchants,

liant to hold what ground has been
gained. but have a corps Of trained spe-
eialists backed by ample means to con:
their experience can. be found in their
1905 Seed Annual, which they will send
free to all applicants.

Wives ut Soldiers' Homes.

Editor National Tribune: I desire to
cal your attention to Senate Bill No
1860 introduced by Senator George c.
Perkins, OF this State. This bill is to
create an Annex to the National Homes
for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. This
bill has been Endorsed heartily and
unanimously by the Department Of
California and Nevada at last Encamp-
ment.
The matter meets with universal ap-
prevail SO far as I know, and the idea
Of separating the old soldier from his
needs the other most is condemned by
all right-thinking people. It is intend
ed in this bill not to ask the Govern
ment to appropriate one dollar. but to
give patriotic people and organizations
an opportunity to prevent the separa-
ton of husband and wife in the
National Homes.
There are q few cottages built by
the Ladies Of the G. A. n. near this
Branch, but the inmates thereof have
no benefits from the Home whatever.
There are 60 inmates Of the Home who
have invalid wives living in Sawtelle
who have privilege to sleep out, but
there Is no law authorizing this. and
they are liable to be called in at any
time.
There are also more than 100 on
furlough living with their wives In
Sawtelle. / do not know the exact
number Of married men in this Branch
who are separated from their wives
but should judge In the neighborhood
Of one-third, or 1000. II this is q
criterion, there are about 10000 mar
rfed men in the various Branches who
are separated from their wives. Be-
sides, q large number Of soldiers who
will not enter the National Homes, for
the reason they refuse to be separated.
and are living In poverty on the out
side. The number IL greater than you
may think, unless you have had occa-
sion to investigate this matter.-Eli

who had the misfortune 20 be 30 -.

submit to the dreadful snow and rain
that fell for about % hours before the

to q hospital at ST. Louis and treated
there for some, time. and he recalls the
fact that there were three ladies by
the name OF Biddle-Misses Catherine.

tered to the wounded 30 much as to
attract the attention OF Comrade Car

Department Of Delaware, g. A. n

Department Commander William
Tharp has issued an order calling for
the meeting Of the 26th Annual En-.
campment Of the Department Of Della
ware, G. A. r.. at Wilmington, Thurs
day, May 8, 1906. He congratulates
the Posts on the gains they have made
during the year, but condoles with
them over the losses death has made
in their ranks. and says that this should
be an incentive to bind the comrades
closer and to work harder for those
who yet survive. The order closes with
an injunction to the comrades to do all
they can to make a good showing in
Minneapolis.

Senator Butt considers the decision of the supreme court a victory for him. He says that a number of the questions that he refused to answer were not asked for the purpose of securing indictments against members of the legislature but were asked for the purpose of giving the newspapers of Little Rock grounds for sensational articles to create prejudice against him.

 At the home of Mir. and Mrs. Jas. Walker, March 28, a tacky party was given in honor of the birthday of their son, Leonard. Miss Maud Rhodes and Mr. Elmer Britt were the prize winners. Quite an enjoyable time was reported.
 The Ozark Normal is now enjoying the most prosperous session of any term since the school was founded. Students from many different counties of the state are entering constantly and the student body is now composed of an energetic army of young men and young women who are striving to prepare themselves for the duties of life. An excellent moral atmosphere seems to prevade the school and the department of the students on the streets and elsewhere is of the very highest character.
 In the recent teachers examin- ation thirty five persons applied for license. Of this number on e received a first grade; sixteen received second grades; and seventeen received third grades. Practically all of the applicants at this examination were persons who were just preparing to enter the profession of teaching. It seems that the average length of time that the teachers of this county stay in tho profes- sion is about four years and it is very much the same all over the state. Salaries are so low and terms so short that those who are prepared to be successful teachers cannot afford, from a financial standpoint, to remain in the pro- fession, and yet there are many people who think that S25 a month is a large salary for a teacher in the rural districts. It is to be hoped that the education al amendment submitted by the last legislature will be adopted by the people in the September elec- ton in order that 8 means for longer terms and better paid teachers may be provided.
