With slillful handling, some suc- ceed in the North by this plan, but lions, Is to give them a protective much about December first, and trans plant to permanent positions in early spring in time to give them the benefit of the spring rains to settle the soil thoroughly about the roots. It is better, too, for the average amateur, to take them up in small clumps. Dig some very old rotted manure into the soil near them, but not touching the stems or roots. Keep the soil loosened about them, and if a very dry season sets iii mulch them with lawn clippings or other litter.
 Climbing Plants
 These include both the hardy peren- nia1s and the annual vines. Among the datter, the most desirable for temporary shade or screens are cob9a, with large bel1-shaped flowers in either rich pur- pie Or pure white, scarlet runner, canary bird vine and nasturtiun1. The morn ing glory is widely recommended, but except for out-of-the-way places where it cannot encroach, it is the most persistent, self-sowing nuisance in the whole floral category, coming up for years after the first planting, under the most vigi1ant efforts at eradication. Its flowers are beautiful in the early morn ing; but keep it at a distance from flower beds or the vegetab garden. For most showy Towering climber scarlet trumpet vine. For screens and tre11ises, the honeysucIle and clematis. For free-fowering vines for the veran- da, roses in their season are a sheet of bloom, if Prairie Queen and Scarlet Rambler are planted III the North, and Eamarque or Cherokee rose in the South. Roses are subject to insect pests in their season, however, and

 Keep the Children Busy
 If mothers want to keep their children out of mischief, they should keep them busy. either at work or play. It is a wel1-known fact that idleness is the cause of a great deal of the wrong doing among men and women, so what else can we expect of our children? Give each a task to do each day, and they will soon learn to feel responsible for it's being done well. After their work is over, give them the time to play, but not to nope or worry someone. Children feel of more importance, in the world when they know that they are being depended upon to do something to help. Then when the mother has SO much to do, it is a great deal to have so many steps saved. Of course this applies more especially to homes where there is no outside help kept. Give your little ones something to do and see how much bet ter they are.
 Children appreciate confidence. trust

1t is my invariable rule to have only simple and easily prepared dishes. I consider this rule a good one, because I do not then become tired and nervous from much cooking and furry ing around, and it allows me time to entertain my guests and enjoy their so- ciety.
 Of course, the character of my dishes depends largely on the season of the year, and to what degree my cupboard is bare. But I usually have on hand butter, eggs, -four and other essentials, and with these, really all things are pos sible. If I lack the ingredients for one dish, I set my brains to work to concoct something in it's stead.
 My pet emergency dish is poached eggs on toast: failing that, creamed clipped beef. I find that the first dish is a favorite with nearly all. Both are easily and quickly prepared. If soup IS desired, and I have on hand canned tomatoes, make clear tomato soup. Should ] have cold roasted or boiled

 I would like to impress parents with the amount of mischief done by unwise comparisons. I have seen children made jealous of their brothers and sisters and bitter towards parents on account of having been unfavorab1y compared in regard to their work or behavior. Not many weeks ago I heard boy declare that his mother didn't care for him, be- cause she had unwisely shown favor to an elder son. They soon perceive who is the wlite-haired boy.

piOnShip.

The Executive Committee, to con-
duct the big Interscholastic Track
meet to be held at the Jacob Tome In
stitute, Port Deposit, Md, on Saturday,
May 14th, has just selected a bronze
mounted plaque to be awarded to the
school which wins the Maryland
Rural High School Championship.
The plaque is to be made by Dieges
& Clust of New York City, whose rep
utation as makers Of metals and
prizes for athletic contests extends all
over the country. A special design
has been adopted, and the school,
which wins this championship, will
have trophy to be proud Of.
This special series of events for the
boys in our county schools was intro
duced three year ago, and has grown
in favor each year. Last year it was
one Of the most attractive features of
the monster meet. The first year
there were only three events, the rs
yd. dash, 22O yd. dash, and half mile
run. Last year Tome added the
broad jump and this year adds the
44O yd. run to give chance to boys
not strong enough to race the half
mile. In all athletic contests the half
mile run is always the most popular
race.
