MODERN WOODMEN.

The Modern Woodmen have a big
dance scheduled for tonight at X. p.
hall. At the present time the Mesa
lodge holds the banner for having ini-
tiated more members within a twelve
month than any other lodge in the
territory. The banner was won from
the Bisbee lodge. and it is understood
that the Bisbeeites, as well as the
Modern WoOdmen of Phoenix, have
their eyes on this banner. Whether
Mesa will be allowed to retain it is a
mooted question; but it looks as
though the other competitors were
somewhat ahead in the race.

Garden Notes.

A great many amateur gardeners COM
plain that their. flowers do not blossom
well. There are several reasons for this
and one OF them may possibly be due to
q lack Of picking.
Remember that it is seeding, not flower
ing. that exhausts a plants vitality, and
a number Of flowers. more especially
sweet peas, cornflowers and pansies, will
bloom continuously if you keep them
picked and do not allow them to go to
seed.
Overcrowding is another rock on which
the adventurer Is apt to founder in his
garden. 1t is a frequent cause OF a
plants i'll health. Thinning in early life
IS the salvation OF many plants. AS a
gardener you have to be firm and sac
rifice your little favorites and pull up the
infant ANIMALS when it may cause you
pain to do SO.
Wrong watering is another cause of
sickness among plants. A thorough soak
ing of the soil twice weekly is better
than a daily wetting. But do sprinkle the
leaves of your plants every day. if not
the soil around them, more especially If
you live in or near a town.
Wrong soil will be harmful. Flowers
do not all like the same diet. Almost all
roses. for instance, flourish in a clay
soil. SO do zinnais-a flower. by the way,
much in evidence just now-and dahlias.
