SO that the soil will not become badly

in securing soil for the beds in which
the plants are grown. Fresh soil should
be put i'm the beds each year and it
should be secured from a part of the
farm which has never grown tomatoes

In ordinary soil the Giant Reed,
Arundo Donax. will grow IL to ID feet

Pretty and lasting effects may be

A committee Of fifty was appointed at
, the meetings Thursday night
r. A. Barnett, secretary OF the socialists,
was not present when the committee was
appointed. but said he understood that the
plan would be put into operation at once
II Is likely that the plan adopted in ST.

Instant action was demanded by Mr.. Hay

greater elaboration on the matter, but
his own eloquence was Of more Influence
than his advice. 1t is expected that a GER

Every ward represented at the meeting
Thursday night had workers appointed and
the unrepresented wards were left until
shs meeting Friday night A long list OF
4 resolutions were adopted which concluded
as follows: 1.-THE time to act is now. Don't
wait until the. conspiracy Is successful.
Now is the time. Conferences must be
called in all cities and towns OF all or
ganisations and associations Of working
men. Mass meetings must be arranged In
eli industrial centers. The latest outrag-
eous acts of the capitalists must be made
known to the toilers unaoauainted with the
facts connected with the John Mcnamara
, case
a general strike in all industries must
be the answer of the workingmen TO the
challenge OF the masters. Tie up all In
dustries. Tie up all production. Eternal
vigilance Is the price of liberty
After the meeting Haywood privately
expressed the opinion that the movement
would succeed ana that the day Of Nc
