Roses.

The lateness of our spring weather
has greatly retarded the growth of
all blossoms, but especially do I note
the lateness of the roses in forming
their buds. Let us not be discouraged
however, but rather take advantage of
the fact and if possible be fully pre-
pared to successfully destroy all the
enemies of our roses as they make
their appearance.
That our rose bushes may be strong
and thrifty let us hoe the soil around
their, roots at least once a week and
supply them with plenty of old we'll
rotted fertilizers. It is now establish
ed beyond the shadow of doubt that
the root system of every plant requires
more or less of the life giving oxygen.
This constitutes about one-ffth Of
the air, SO it will readily be seen that
if the surface of the soil is allowed to
become hard and impervious, the air
is excluded and the plant suffers for
oxygen.

ject of roses very thoroughly, dis
;cussing the varities best suited to our
planting, their care, insect enemies,
their eradication etc.

his constituents. Two years ago on
his tour he was invited by farmer to
dine. The! farmers wife, who was
having cabbage and pork for dinner,
became so excited because of the high
position of her guest that she allowed
the cabbage to burn. I'll have to

nounced at the meal. ooh, don't do it. 7,
said the senator. eff there's any one

bage burned just a little. (" Last year
on his tour whenever the senator took
dinner with a constituent he found
cabbage burned just little bit on
the table, and had to eat as if he en-
joyed it. Every farmers wife of them
had passed the news along. &

Looking For Trouble.

The correspondent of the Herald at
Grand Forks is still vending his way
around the state trying to make
mountains out Of mole hills, and fol-
lowing the instructions of the pay
masters Of the insurgent generals.
Where ever he. strikes a county
with the usual local factions engaged
in the usual campaign for local offices,
this itinerant knight of the quill, or
terror of the typewriter, proceeds to
manufacture a mighty host of insur-
gents, He classes the faction that
has been rotated out of office, after
years of incumbency Gas is usually
the case) as insurgents who have a
great moral reform work to do in the
interests Of the people of North Da-

no complaints can be heard Of any
acknowledgment Of the state affairs,

In some of the counties there are
found several local factions who are
at work to settle the questions be-
tween them, but in every case the Her
aid man sees hosts Of insurgents be-
hind every bush. Notwithstanding that
the people are prosperous and salts
fed with the management of the state
affairs generally, some excuse is found
to tranfer the local issues to state
issues and make it appear that the
insurgent leaders are making a great
hit. All of which is an old time worn
political proceeding that has lost its
force because the people have no
grievance to regulate and the leaders
of the insurgents have no real live
cause besides the selfish purposes to
make a campaign fund.

Rome, June S.-The Infamous and

Rome, June S.-The Infamous and
shameful attempt on the lives of King
Alfonzo and Queen Victoria last week
was perhaps heard by no other Eu-
ropean country with such sincere sor-
row as by Italy, and the feeling was
intensified when it was learned that
the perpetrator of the outrage was an
Italian. The latter fact occasioned lit
tie surprise, however, as Italy is the
land most productive of anarchists.
The peninsula has had during the last
twenty-five years the unenviable dis
tinction of providing most of the in
struments for so-called political
crimes.
But it has been only during the past
decade or so that the serious work"
of Italian anarchy has progressed. 1t
began with the murder of President
Sadi Carnot by Sante Caserio in 1894.
The success of this first Operation"
evidently encouraged other anarchists,
for their crimes followed each other
closely. Lega fired at Crispi, Acciar-
giollo shot dead the Spanish premier,
Canovas del Castillo, Lucheni assassi-
mated the empress of Austria and
Bresci killed King Humbert.
1t is a remarkable feature of this
long and atrocious list that not one of
the murderers committed their crimes
before having been and lived abroad,
where the germs of what is called Gin
dividualistic" anarchy are .imbibea
But the fact remains that Italy, not
withstanding the kind-heartedness and
gentleness of her inhabitants, fur
nishes the arms which execute the
diabolical criminal plans conceived by
others. Two reasons are advanced for
this. One is that human life is held
more cheaply in Italy than in almost
any other civilized country. The sec
ond reason which is believed to make
the Italian a most ready recruit to
anarchy is his hereditary leaning tow
ard secret societies.

Washington, June SIN response
to a request from the house COM
mittee on agriculture, President
Roosevelt today forwarded to Repre-
sentative Wadsworth, chairman of
that committee, a report made to him
by a committee of the department of
agriculture, regarding the conditions
in the Chicago meat packing houses.
Accompanying the report was letter
from the president in which he points
out that there is no conflict in sub
stance between the Neill-Reynolds re-
port and that of the agricultural de-
partment experts.
The president quotes from a letter
received from most competent and
trustworthy witness in Chicago to the
effect that the packing house pro-
prietors are. manifesting almost hui
morous haste to clean up, repave and
even to plan for future changes. New
toilet rooms are being provided, with
additional dressing rooms and clean
towels. The presidents correspond
ent says that the haste toward reform
would have been amusing if it were
not so nearly tragic.
The president says his investiga-
tons have not been completed, but
that enough has been developed in
my judgment to call for an imme-
diate, thorough going and radical en-
largement of the powers of the gov
eminent in the inspecting of all meats
which enter into interstate and for
eign commerce."

The average Devils Lake young
man and woman does not need to be
told that June is the month of mar
riages. Although the period is scarce
entered upon, there have been fully
a dozen nuptial ceremonies performed
in this city during the past week. In
the last three weeks, Judge L. K.
Hassel, of the probate court, has is
sued a score of marriage permits.
Indications are that new record of
during the month.
Since Dan Cupid first began to in
struct willing and docile humanity
in the art of loving, June has been the
month of brides, as we'll as the month
of roses. The roses have always been
emblems of love. Those that grew in
the Garden of Eden. according to st.
Ambrose and st. Basil, had no thorns.
Milton wrote: 'a7
eden bloomed flowers of all hue,
and without thorn the rose"
The rose of today has its thorns and
for that reason some think it is all
the more desirable. Inconsistent hui
mainly must always yearn for that
which it is hardest to get. Possibly
remains the emblem Of the bride, her
thorns of reserve and dignity making
for that same reason the rose still
her all the more desirable, all the
more beautiful. R&
Because, then, of love, of roses, June
is the favored month Of weddings.
The English have some quaint super
stitions regarding the choice of the
month Thav RIM thic wav

There are dozens Of other super
