A dangerous, and what might
have been a very serious accident
occurred at Skunk last Sunday

family to Sabbath scnool. AS they
We're coming down a small hill the

the occupants thrown down a steep
embankment All were badly
bruised but no serious injuries re-

Is mistake the amateur almost al
| ways makes. She thinks it pity to
disturb the tiny plantlets and leaves
them to crowd and fight each other for
supremacy. 1t is a great, crying fact
which every flower lover should know
that few plants, well cared for and
given plenty of room and cultivation,
will entirely surpass lot of crowded,
sparse slips trying to find room.
If you want fine flowers you must
cultivate the soil. Many flower bed
has been ruined by too much water
and too little cultivation. Don't be
afraid to scratch among your flowers.
One of the little hand scratchers is
convenient, and how it does open the
soil for the tonic Nature has ready for
her little friends. the flower roots!
Never water flowers during the heat
Of the day. Watch for suckers and
slugs. The aphis may be killed with
almost any spray, even cold water be-
ing effective. but tobacco liquid gives
the best results. You can buy the nico-
tine mixtures at any dealers.
Some pests must be smothered: 9th.
ers must be strangled or poisoned.
Whale oil soap will answer in cases
where coating over the insect is de-
sired, but 1t is bad smelling stuff. and
have had much better success with
bordeaux mixture or nicotine.
Keep your perennials and your annu-
ais in separate parts of the garden.
Perennials are always satisfactory be-
cause they need so little attention aft
er they are once planted. Some Of
these will not bloom the first year. but
will last long time after once becom-
lpg nEmly established.

| ~ the blossoms 1t yields nor for
the added beauty to the land
scape, but because working in the soil,
III the sunlight, in Gods out of doors,
is tonic to the nerves and peace to the
worried mind.
| But every woman does not know
how properly to prepare flower gar
den. 1t is true that one may grow
some flowers merely by tickling the
ground with crooked stick. strewing
the seeds broadcast and letting Nature
do her best. This is not satisfactory;
this is merely makeshift for posy
bed. Growing flowers like everything
else worth doing, is worth doing well.
If you will follow a few simple in
structions you can become real flow
er enthusiast, for the bed prepared
will give big results and afford ample
bouquets.
In the beginning remember that
most flower seeds are tiny particles.
You would not plant a bean under a
clod OF dirt as large as your head and
expect the bean to do much Neither
should you plant flower seeds in
coarse, cloddy ground for the same
reason.
To begin at the beginning spade
into your soil q good fertilizer, being
careful to turn over the ground and
mix it well with the fertilizer. If you
have some wood ashes strew them on
the surface before starting to spade.
Having spaded the bed, rake off all
the stones, pulverize all the clods,
pack down with board and then re-
rake.
1t is plain to you that the richest
and finest soil should be on the sur
face, that the tiny seeds may find
ready root bed. Having prepared the
bed, do not scatter your seeds broad
cast lest when the tiny shoots appear
you cannot tell them from weeds.
Lay board on the bed, stand on
the board, make a very shallow drill,
say half inch deep, and drop your
seeds at regular distances. When the
drill is filed move the board over it
and start another drill. BY standing
on the board you will press the dirt
over the seeds just placed Every
time you move the board place two
sticks in the edges of the bed to mark
where the row is. 1t is a good plan
to slip the flower package over the top
of the stick to remind you later what
each row contains If You are me-
thodical keep register of how many
rows are pansies, how many calen-
dulias, etc.
When the bed is finished do not rake
lightly over the top of it. The weight
Of your body on the board will cover
the seeds sufficiently. If you disagree
with this sprinkle bit of loose dirt
over the rows, but remember that
many flower seed has failed to be a
flower because it has been buried I'M
der too much soil.

ers to thin out the young plants Here

IN PEACE THERE IS GLORY.

Fifty years have passed into his
tory since the Civil War began and
the causes leading thereto are now
merely "reminiscences in the minds
of those who fought and matters of
chronology to the younger genera
tion. While the conflict ragged, in
spite of strong passions and preju-
dices, the men who fought on either
side unhesitatingly recognized the
bravery of the men against whom
they fought. The following years
of peace have not changed that
feeling, but they nave seen the
passion and prejudice SO die down
that at the present time in is uni
versally acknowledged that the
men who wore the blue and the
men who wore the grey were alike
animated by the conscientious
sense of what they conceived to be
their duty. 1t is men of this
stamp that make a nation strong
and secure.
They saw no glory in conflict;
in the raising of arms against their
fellow-men, but they do glory in
the peaceful union of northern and
southern brotherhood which result
ed from the inevitable rebellion.
They were not born to soldier
life. Their country's summons
called them from the plow, the
forge, the bench, the loom, the
mine, the store, the Office, the col
lege and the sanctuary. They did
not fight for greed of gold, to find
adventure nor to win renown.
They loved the peace of quiet ways
and yet they broke the clasp of
clinging arms, turned from the
glance of tender eyes, left goodbye
kisses on tiny lips to look death in
the face on desperaee fields
But all this has come and gone. |
The heroes of fifty years ago are
aged or sleeping in the glory of the
eternal peace. Conditions change
with the routine of time. Today
we are a nation of citizens, not of
soldiers, and in keeping Decoration
Day we do not glorify war or seek
to inflame the evil passions of men.
AS we think of the thousands of
heroes, human sacrifices to the
cause Of united peace; as we think
of the aged and enfeebled veterans
who survive and as we think of the
tattered ensigns, pierced by shot
and shell on many a field of battle,
we would glorify peace, not war,
and union, not discord. And we
can best show our respect for both
dead and living heroes of the great
strife, by burying all prejudices
and animosities and by promoting
good will and unity throughout the
land.

facts as stated in the story.
Mr.. S. G. LUZ. traffic manager, Of

"A new time card has been prepared
but it has nothing whatever to do with

after seeing the farce which is by far

BY an American playwright in the past
ten years. The author Of the farce is
aone other than Margaret Mayo, who
indicated her versatility when she
wrote Polly of the Circus" after max

which placed Grace George high among

Smiles are bound to be many at the

Princess and Garrick theaters, Chicago,
during the entire summer just past.
There is nothing else for the beholder
Of Baby Mine" to do after the cur
