j. 9. Whtten. horticulturist to the MIS-
souri, experiment station:
In beginning spring gardening to or
namcnt the home vines planted about
the house and doorway are one OF
the first and most effective features.
Vines lcnd privacy to the porch, ex-
clude the sunlight and soften the form
al lines Of the house. Vines mas be
used as screens to cover up back
fences or TO hide outbuildings or other
unsightly objects. The best way, TO
succeed in the planting Of vines is TO
have the soil well spaded up as early
in the spring rs 1t can be worked
without being too sticky. This Is nee
essary in order TO get good cover or
screen for the porch or outbuiIding.
The spaded area need not bc over
eighteen inches wide, just enough to
kill the grass roots back from the
roots Of tie vines and prevent their
mlngling. .t,..Lt
Ono of the most common mistakes Is
to set the roots too deep IN the soil.
The soil warns slowly, and the roots
are liable to injury If planted too deep.
An examination Of the stem Of each
plant will show the planter how deep
the vine stood naturally In the soil,
and Il should be planted accordingly.
Perennial vines should be trained on
galvanized wires that will not rust
quickly. Horizontal wires about a foot
apart may be attached to the wood
work of tho house or other building
TINT It Is desired to screen.
If It Is desired to train tho vines
latcrally above, 30 as to close In. for
example, the opening In n porch, wires
may be placed about foot apart ut
the desired height. Too often woven
wire screens of not more than two
inch mesh are used. These are not
satisfactory, ms the vines twine around
the wires so closely that subsequent
pruning Is impossible For the annual
vines either wires or strong cord may
be used. ..
Among the best ornamental shrubs
for home planting are the golden bell

get away from the life he had led. Not
long afterward he was found suffo-
Gated to death in folding bed. An

pursue It would destroy at least one
reputation. JEFF Hankins dropped
dead of heart disease about ten years
ago. No name was better known in
Clark street in the "wide-open" days
than that of Hankins. George was the
prey of all the boodling politicians in
the county--and there were more of
them then than now-and was init

to have furnished the largest part of

Reign Of the Bunko Men.
Clark street became as infamous for
the bunko game in the days of the Nc
Donald crowd as for gambling. The
bunkO steerers were gamblers, and the
gamblers, or many of them, were bun
ko steerers. Harry Lawrence was one
of the best known of the bunko men.
Before Mcdonald became known as
the gambler king of the city he was
strongly interested in the bunko game.
In brief, the bunko game was oper.
ated in this way: The steerers, well.
dressed and suave, sought their prey
in the hotels principally. Steerer No,
