LITTLE ROCK HIGH
 BEATS COLLECIANS
IN YESTERDAYS GAMES
HENDRIX BASKETEERS ARE DEFEATED IN BOTH GAMES
 AT LITTLE ROCK.

Little Rock, Feb. 8.-Coach Win go's Little Rock High School five in two basketball games at the High School gymnasium yesterday after noon and last night easily romped home with the laurels, their oppon- ents being none other than the Hen driX College aggregation. The scores were: First game, High Is, Hendrix 10; second game, High 40, Hendrix 16.
 The afternoon contest provided an hour of the most entertaining sport. Accuracy of the baskets and excel lent floor work by both teams made the game one of the prettiest that has been played on the local floor. With the opening whistle, both teams open ed series of plays that kept the spectators highly enthused. Hendrix showed a little better form during the first half and piled up total of nine points. High scored eight points during the opening session. With two foul goals by Murrey in the early part of the second half the local lads caught and passed their oppents and with three more field goals an- nexed the winning points. Hendrix scored one foul goal in the second half, the high defense being excellent. The two guards, Weist and Murrey, were the individual stars.

 SECOND CAME
 In the evening game the high school boys had everything their own way. They literally ran away from the Hendrix team, rolling up a score of 40 points and holding the colleg- ians to Is. At the end of the first half the score stood 21 to 10, in favor of Little Rock, and the Hendrix bunch was in the lead only once, when the score was to 6, in the early part of the game.
 Hendrix was outclassed, and at no stage of the game did it look the least bit dangerous for the High" boys. Little Rock had the game prac- tically cinched at the end of the first half, and the Hendrix team seemed to be very much disheartened, which probably accounts for their poor showing in the second half. The To- cal boys used the second half merely to pile up their number of points.

SOME ESSENTIALS
FOR A GOOD LAWN
Begin to Now Grass as Soon as
1t Begins to Grow-Use
Clippings as Mulch.

To have a good lawn, as the grass
begins to grow NOW it often. Abandon
the notion that moving grass will kill
it; 1t will do nothing of the kind.
Frequent moving. two or three
times a week. will keep down thick
places and allow thin places to assert
themselves.
Dc not rake the lawn clippings un-
less your lawn soil is exceedingly
fertile. Save the extra work. and allow
the clippings to lie on the ground for
mulch and fertilizer.
Lawn clippings are splendid green
feed for poultry confined in pens. but
when they are taken from the lawn an
equivalent fertilizer should be re-
turned-at some time.
When the lawn mower gets dull do
not take it TO the shop to be sharp
ened, but adjust and tighten the bolts
or tension at the bottom on either end
OF the bar, SO that the revolving blades
ring sharply against the bottom hori-
zontal cutting blade. This will make
the mower sharpen itself in turning.
Almost all lawn mowers are con
structed for self sharpening. When
the tension is tight it requires Just a
little more force in pushing, but it
cuts; 1t can't help It'll. II. Shepard.

Garden in Hot Weather.

When hot weather visits us the fate
of most gardens hangs in the balance
At this time, the garden needs our
feel less like giving 1t the necessary
care. The weather is hot and the air
is still, and hammock in a shady
nook looks better to father than any
Man With the Hoe" tableau. especial
ly after hard days work. Remember
that the kind of weather that gives
you a very tired feeling. makes the
weeds grow rank and bold and dries
the garden soil until it is almost wa
terproof.
Probably you feel that you don't
need the exercise nearly as much as
you did in the spring, and probably
you are right; at the same time it will
do you good If you take it properly,
and you cannot afford to have the
garden go to pieces just when little
work will pull it through in grand
shape.
Get up half an hour earlier than
usual and do your garden work then,
instead of waiting until the tired even
weeks end job. A little daily work
in the cool of the early morning will
send you to your regular bread-and-
butter job feeling many times better
than that little extra sleep would.
Gone is that brown taste-gone the
dead-alive feeling that the long sti-
fling summer night brings.
Nature is at her loveliest while the
dew is on and half the fun of garden
ing is getting close to nature. Do your
gardening before you are tired out and
enjoy it to the utmost.
We have previously told you what
to do for the weeds, which, like the
poor. are always with us. Unlike the
poor, however, they need no assist
ance, but the strongest possible re-
sistance. because they are altogether
too well able to fend for themselves.
Cut off their heads. cut of their
feet, burn their middles, and do it be-
fore they have any offspring. Then
start in and do it all over again. be-
cause they resurrect mighty fast If
given the slightest opportunity.
Keep the soil surface in dry, pull
verized. weedless condition, and never
let it harden. Pull the weeds out of
the rows, where the hoe cannot reach
them, because they do more harm
here than between the rows.
II the garden shows lack of moist
ure, it must be furnished, and the best
way to do this is to irrigate at night.
This is better than sprinkling, be-
cause the water soaks in deeper and
evaporation is much less at night than
ID the daytime. A thorough soaking
once week is plenty and the soil
should be cultivated the next morn
ing to hold the water.
This. then, is the time when a soil
full of manure is appreciated. It
holds more water and does not bake.

Did you ever know any persons who
did not like the perfume of the Sweet
Pea? We do not. and we are sorry
for them If there be any such.
In variety of tints the most ,fastidi-
Gus can be suited, as there are 40 or
80 different shades and mixtures to
choose from. They range from deep
pansy purple through all shades and
mixtures of blue and red, to the purest
vivid white. The colors are not mere
ly surface colors. They are deep
colors that actually live.
The proper way to grow sweet peas
to their greatest perfection is to dig
trench a foot wide and foot deep,
as early as possible in the spring. Fill
in six inches with rich, loose loan and
plant the seed three inches apart and
one-half inch deep after soaking them
in water. AS soon as the seedlings
are six inches high fill in with earth
around them until only two inches of
the plant shows. This treatment will
insure more extensive root develop
ment and more resistance to drought.
Fill in from time to time until the
bottom of the trench is level with the
land. Furnish support for the vines,
either woven wire, branches, or a
fence, and they will run up several
feet.
Be sure that you pick all of the
blossoms as soon as they are perfect
and the plants will bloom from early
summer until frost. If allowed to go
to seed the plants will promptly cease
blooming.
The Sweet Pea might well be our
national flower. May it bloom for
ever.

OUR COUNTRY
and OUR FLAG
Margaret E. sanaster.

" HE flag itself is only a bit of
bunting or bit of silk. In what
1 1t stands for, what it covers and
what 1t means to our country 1t
is more precious than mines of gold
and silver. and rivals the steadfast
stars of heaven in its brilliant galaxy.
Originally our flag fioated over a few
struggling colonies newly federated
into states of a union. The daring
courage of the men who lived under
the flag when first the United States
were separated by stubborn and sue
cessfully fought war, from the mother
land across the sea, awakens our en-
thusiasm when we look back on the
historic page. This country was des-
tined to grow as rapidly as Jacks
famous beanstalk, with an immense
territory stretching north, south, east
and west. With inexhaustible re-
sources of the soil, and ores of price
in the caverns underground, its wealth
was assured from the beginning
Small wonder it is that the nations of
the globe have turned to it with eager
longing, and that vast tides of immi-
grafton have continually swept upon

II desired, couple of seeds may be
planted in each hill when the plants
are set In the ground. Then. as the
early ones prove that their vitality is
nearly exhausted. the young plants
will take heir places. and furnish the
pickle supply for the winter.
Plan the garden in advance on pa
per, separating early and late corn, as
well as having cucumbers, melons and
squashes far enough apart that pol
len from one will not reach another
readily. 1t is a curious exception
to the rule that watermelon and
muskmelon can be grown side by side

lettuce. spinach, beets, carrots. pars-

Bush beans, early cabbage and peas

need about three feet and the various
vines from four to six feet apart. For
convenience in cultivating. 1t is essen
tial to SO plant that the lines may
be of uniform width, though it is not

points.
Thus bush beans o; early cabbage

next it is simply in part left blank.

Weeds will soon strive to fill 1t IL
there is one. With plenty of ground,
farmers are apt to be wasteful to an
extent Which makes the city man open
his eyes in astonishment.
Your garden soot is-or should be
exceedingly rich ground, and one can
not afford to let part of 1t lie
idle.
AS the early radishes are used. stick
in here and there a seed of summer
and winter varieties. In this way
there is a constant succession. The
tender pepper and egg plant may be
filled into the spaces rendered vacant
by the removal of early onions; and
celery can replace peas.
Fertilize without stint Clean out the
poultry house. and use the refuse for
fertilizing cabbage, tomatoes. cucum-
bers and melons in the hill. Many are
afraid of this condensed food. yet, IL
a quart is thoroughly blended with
tie soil in each hill. it will do no dam

Fertilizer from the barn is prefer

ashes help to tighten heavy. clay

stimulating the growth of corn.

Sweet Peas.

No flower is more generally beloved
han the old fashioned Sweet Pea. 1t
was dear to the hearts of our great
grandmothers and their great.grand-
mothers as well, and for no telling
how many generations back OF that.
1t belongs to large family whose
scientific name is taken from the pe-
culiar butterfy-like form of the bios
SONS. The garden varieties of green
peas, string, wax, navy, pole and lima
beans and the ornamental beans, are
Its first cousins. Some of our most
valuable field crops, notably alfalfa,
,od, crimson, alsike and white clover,
are first cousins once removed, and
every wild flower that has the butter
fy blossom is more or less distantly
related.
Really, we have immense cause to
be thankful for many members of the
leguminous plants. AS field crops
they form the finest kind of hay and
pasturage, and they are the only cul-
:ivated plants that possess the power
Of transferring nitrogen from the air

practically impossible to keep our soil
productive.
In the floral field, this family is not
so numerously prominent as some
