according to the United States bureau

passed legislative enactments hostile
to the secret orders, while the school
boards Of important cities in the other
IL states have adopted like measures
within their own jurisdiction.
All states having laws on the sub
ject provide a penalty Of suspension
or expulsion from school for all those
who join these orders. The most
drastic laws were passed by Iowa,
Minnesota and Nebraska. whose legis-
latures made it a misdemeanor for
any one even to solicit members to
these organizations. Michigan and
Ohio made it a misdemeanor for a
school officer to fail or refuse to carry
out the anti-high school fraternity law.
Other states which prohibit these or

DICH Americans are being fooled on
IL Chinese antiques. according to
tips sen to Washington by United
States consuls at Hongkong and other
Far East ports. Since the revolution
began there has been a craze in Amer
lea and Europe for souvenirs. and the
fad has been fed on the stories that
royal and other Chinese palaces were
being looted.
The chief limitations are In porce-
lains and brass. ancient Chinese and
Japanese armor and weapons. old
Corean carved chests and old carved
furniture. Seven large new shops
dealing exclusively in fakes have been

PRETTY FLOWERS IN GARDEN
Great Beauty and Fragrance Of Sweet
Peas Make Them Most Popular
Must Have Support.

Sweet pea vines must have good
support. Brush branches suit them
better than anything else, but these
are not always easy to get. A good
substitute for brush is very coarse
meshed wire netting.
AS soon as the plants begin to
bloom begin to cut from them. The
more blossoms you cut off the more
you will have. II care Is taken to
remove the blossoms as soon as they
begin to fade, the plants will continue
to bloom until frost comes; but II
seed Is allowed to ripen, you will have
but few flowers during the latter part
Of the season.
In cutting sweet peas give the flow.
ers as long stems as possible. Never
crowd them in vase or bowl. Just
bunch them loosely in the hand, and
drop them into whatever is to
hold them, give 1t a shape, and 10,
your flowers will have arranged them
selves to perfection.
No garden should be without some
sweet pea vines. The great beauty

them one of the most popular of flow

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times of March %,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana.
da's progress. says:
AT the present moment eight ship
loads of European immigrants are
afloat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which Is customary with us during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There Is no such startling rec
ord Of our loss to Canada. Our citi-
zens quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised.
There is no mystery why Canada
is the good thing the United States
used to be. 1t Is because Canada is
following in It's neighbours footsteps
that 1t is repeating the fortunate ex-
p%erience which it's neighbor Is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
its back on the teachings Of the past.
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus of $50, 900, 900, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits Of
$3S, 600 900 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and com
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly We find a single road allot-
ting ten millions for work of its own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing In their
high-priced Amer lean lands.
"A st. Paul dispatch say that with
in a fortnight two thousand carloads
of farm animals and machinery have
passed toward Canada, the property
of men who expect to pay for their
farms with the first crop"

FIGHT LITTLE MELON APHlS
Best Way to Fight Pest Is to Burn
Infested Vines Where They Are
Same for Cucumbers.

Melon growers around Rocky Ford,
Colo, where canteloupes are grown
extensively, find that the best way to
fight melon aphis is to burn the in
tested vines just where they are. At
least every other day they get over
their patch Of vines and look for he
very dark green color and swollen.
watery appearance Of the leaves Of
the plants. A little later the leaves
and vines take on a black. powdery
cast that no one can mistake. The
leaves curl under, but do not begin
to wilt sometimes for days.
By keeping careful watch and de-
stroying the plants as they show the
presence Of aphis, one can usually
control the pest. Scatter straw over
the infested hill and burn at once.
To attempt to carry the vines to the
edge of the field will simply spread
the insect.
After burning a hill keep careful
watch over adjoining hills, to see that
the insects have not spread. OF
the same treatment is recon.
mended for cucumbers.
