cambridge sent such a strong plea
for the next W. G. T. U. convention
that there was no turning down the
invitation so gracefully presented
from ten different sources-the
cambridge Union, the Federation of
Clubs, the Woman's Club, several of
the churches and the mayor of the
city.

Judge Maddox was greeted with
applause Sunday night
by an overlooking meeting of the

members of the Elberton Union on
Thursday afternoon in honor of her
ninety-third birthday. The occasion
was a joyous one for both the hon
Gree and the hostesses.
Dawson Union was, at the recent
convention at Gainesville, placed
right up at the top of the honor roll,
showing a larger net gain OF mem
bers than any other Union, Savannah
excepted. Thirty-five names have
been added to the list the past year.
The judges Of the different circuits
in Georgia are stressing the need of
more strict enforcement of the law,
especially as it applies to prohibi-
ton. Ringing charges to grand jul
ries have recently been delivered by
Judges Gilbert, Daniel and Mathews.
A signal triumph for civic right
eousness and law enforcement was
won by the good citizens of Rome
in the closing of the locker clubs.

MULcHING FOR FRUIT VINES
Practice Prevents Growth of Weeds.
Retains Moisture and Adds
Needed Humus to Soil.

A successful West Virginia raspber
~ grower gives the following reasons
for mulching:
II prevents the growth Of weeds.
II retains moisture In the soil.
1t adds humus. one Of the necessary
elements.
1t keeps the fruit clean and pre-
vents mud at picking time.
II saves labor. the cost of mulching
IN acre with forest leaves or straw
not exceeding SIS.
II prevents deep freezing.
II makes the fruit more solid for
cultivation and better for shipping
purposes.
1t prevents the baking OF the soil
aused by tramping at picking time.
1t has the disadvantage of encourag-
tng mice and establishing a surface
root system. However, we have not
noticed any serious damage from Ell
ther OF these effects.
The cost of growing raspberries by
natures method, as ! like to call It,
Is not very great. Picking is a nice

to add new soil as the trees have been
selected with reference to the kind

The trees always do better in filled
ground than they do in that which has
not been broken up. II the land is

tire strip, as grass is great enemy to
newly planted things. When the trees
arrive. take them at once to some
friable land near where they are to
be planted and heel them in. Nursery

and was OF the opinion that the hid

with symbols of rare historic value.

Garden Cart and wheeIbarrOw.

On an average fully one-half Of the
trees that die the first summer could
have been saved had they been prop
eriy mulched and given little water
when needed.
Young trees planted in exposed po-
sitions, where they are liable to heavy
wind and transforms, should be staked
and the trees tied to the stakes with
a rye straw or canvas band. An old
sail cut into strips makes excellent
bands. To keep the roots from being
loosened. where ground is soft. place
four or five large stones on top of the
mulch close up to the stem Of tree. :.

SHERMAN SAYS
 BOSSES MUST GO

Ithaca, June 13-President Sherman of Cornell University, delivering the annual address at the Cornell grad uating exercises, today. touched on the present political unrest when he said:
 s'An ethical note of the year is the demand for reform in the admfnistra- tion of government. There is wide suspicion that certain classes have been favored at the expense of others and represent tative government has been impeded or even paralyzed by the machinations of politicians and party leaders. Three demands, there- fore, have made themselves heard with a good deal of emphasis.
 "The first is that the boss must go, the second that parties, must stand for vital principles and just policies and the third is that the people them selves shall conduct their own govern ment. Of course it is. easy to put these reforms into language, but it is harder to translate them into facts. If old bosses are overthrown the lead CTS of the revolt are apt to step into the vacant places.
 "A wise and just policy of yester- day quickly becomes obsolete tomor- row. And while in a democracy pulp lie opinion should rule, it is abso- lutely impossible for one hundred mill lion people to take the place their representatives in legislative and ju- dicial decision"
