'It is significant to note" says
the Des Moines Capital, chat twen-
ty-seven out of fifty members of the
Iowa state senate took a position on
the woman suffrage issue yesterday
in the preliminary shape in which
the question was presented. The
mercury of courage in the thermom-
eter of expediency is slowly but sure
ly rising. Those interested in the
success of the equal suffrage propa-
ganda will find much encourage
ment in contrasting the demonstra-
ton of yesterday with most Of the
general assembly records of former
years.

Representative Kulp, the author
of the automobile tax bill passed
two years ago, has come forward
with an amendment which provides
that automobiles purchased late In
the season need only pay one-half
the yearly tax for the balance of
the year. This is nothing more than
an exemplification of the square
deal. The time for the half tax ought
to be any period after August /.

Narcissus Not Bloom me {
OF TuIips After FIOwering.

NarCissus that have grown for a
number Of years in the same place
will become deeply imbcdded in the soil
! and the strength of the plant will be
exhausted in developing the long leaves
required to reach the surface of the
ground and not sufficient strength will
remain to develop buds
The narcissus forms new bulbs under
the parent bulbs and therefore each
season the growing bulbs are little
deeper under the surface of the soil
This Is the case with all the narcissus
family, including jonquils, daffodls. &c.
The remedy is to dig the bulbs and
rcplant them. setting them three
inches deep in a well drained bed, where
they will regain their vitality in a year
or two and begin blooming.
Tulip bulbs when planted in the au-
tumn blossom the coming spring
after which the bulb decays giving
place To one or more new bulbs that
will bloom the next spring As the
bulbs have no roots they may lie taken
up as soon the flowers fade and
the foliage ripcns and stored until
planting time in the autumn.
AT one time tulips Were the subject
OF great commercial speculation. In
the latter part of the sixteenth and in
the early part of the seventeenth CEN
