Mrs. EVANS, CANDmACY.

Among the sixteen candidates for
the nominations for places on the
board of education is one who would
seem to be entitled to the enthusiastic
support of every voter in the city for
variety of reasons. Reference is
made to Mrs. C. j. Evans. She has
served on the board for one full term
and with distinction. Not only should
she be rewarded for this service with
a reelection, but it is peculiarly APP
propriate that the women of Topeka
should have a representative ON this
essentially important body.
Until the campaign of couple of
years ago when Mrs. Evans was ele
waited to the school board, the women
of the city had not been active In de-
manding a voice in the management
of the schools. This was a mistaken
attitude. For the women in their ca
paeity as mothers really come in
closer contact with the schools and
their administration than do the great
majority of the men. They share the
joys and the worries of the children
in their school life. They get the first
hand information as to how things
are going in the schools. This nat
ural1y fits them admirably for par
ticipation in the administration of the
schools. If they have. one of their
number on the school board, the way
is made easy for them to get action
on such suggestions as may come to
them for lettering the conditions in
the schools. They come in contact
with many little and larger evils that
work their way into the schools of
which men seldom dream and less fire.
quently hear. That's why the serv-
ices of woman on the school board
are so Invaluable.
But in all matters pertaining to the
conduct of the schools, Mrs. Evans
has exercised such intelligence and
discernment that she has become one
of the strong members of the board
of education. She has been a tireless
worker. And her work has made
itself felt in the right way. 1t would
be taking a step backward if Mrs.
Evans is eliminated from the school
board. Women are needed on that
body. She has shown herself most
competent to discharge the duties de-
manded of a member of the board of
edcuation. She should receive the
largest vote of any of the candidates
in the field. The only regret in this
connection is that there are not one
or more other of the many estimable
and capable women in the city among
the list of candidates, so that the rep
resentation of women on the board
could be made larger.

HINTS FOR THE GARDEN.

Start the garden by sowing beans,
lettuce, peas, radishes and spinach in
a hotbed. advises the Kansas Indus
trialist The vegetables will soon be
available for the table.
AS soon as the soil can be worked
in the garden SOW the smooth. early
varieties of peas.
For early rhubarb. put a headless
barrel over a root of the plant and
pile fresh horse manure around it.
The earlier sweet peas are sown the
larger the number of flowers produced.
Jack Frost hasn't any terrors for
the poppy. Just sow the seeds on the
surface of the soil and give the flow
eTs an early start.
March is the time to prune the
hardy roses-climbers. rugosas and
hybrid perpetuals. Wait until next
month to prune tea roses and hybrid
teas.
Hardy hydrangeas bloom on the
current years growth. To grow large
heads cut the canes back heavily.
Roll the lawn to firm the soil about
the grass roots The top soil has been
loosened by the heaving of the frost.
To kill the San Jose scale spray the
trees with lime-sulphur wash, or a
soluble oil, just before the buds start
to swell.
Grapes should be pruned before the
sap starts to flow in March or April.
The chrysanthemums that produce
the largest flowers are started early
Propagate by cuttings taken from the
suckers of the plants held over from
last fall.
Cannas for next summers beds

A SONG OF THE WOODS.

In the shrouded valleys, on tufted hills.
IN the secret rings of the woods. unseen,
a rumor gathers, and Swells, and fills.
And a call goes carrying. far and keen:
Inc year Is laughing; come out, come out
This is the word that the morning sings
In the scudding herds of his hasting
When the sun his flaming arrow filings.
And the ranks of the rain are nouted
back,
And the lusty wind goes by with shout:
Come. follow the joy of the wild gods
routi
And the nights when the world is chill
and sweat
With the earth-Scents mounting, and
bursting brake,
When the woods a-whisper with I'M
known feet,
When the branches rustic. the low reeds
quake
As fur and feather come forth to scout
And follow the joy of the wild gods rout!

IT you live long enough in New

ed man when Robert L. Tul1y came
down the gang plank of the Anchor
Line steamer Columbia wearing the
uniform of piper of the Gordon
Highlanders. The snow was coming
down and Mr.. Tully's legs showed red
and purple where the wind caught
them.
Tully lives in Yonkers and is the
leader of the Caledonian, Pipe band.

for visit, and before leaving he wag-

in his kits. He was one of the few
passengers that the customs inspec-

Mr.. Tully had gone only few feet
from the pier when horse SHE'D and
carried truck up on the sidewalk.
Give the poor man blanket or
something. 'Tis shame to see him
out in this weather." shouted a man
rather than thistles. Remarks like
this and the crowd of small boys that
followed him persuaded Tully that the
subway to Van Cortlandt park was
better than walk up Broadway. AS
he made for the hole in the ground
there came shout:
Hey, where you goin', mon? Up
to Andy Carnegie's to get library ?''
Several members of the Caledonian
plpcrs accompanied him as he strobe
across town.

'I am not" was the sturdy reply.
You should put a wee bit OF
sheep tallow on your legs. It's fine
thing in a storm. 1t breaks the cold
and keeps the calves from chapping,

OF course, in the subway, Mr.. Tully
was perfectly safe. The only trouble
