 The meeting was presided over by E. l.. Windham president of the Birming- ham Negro Business Mems League, upon whose invitation the State Teachers as- sociation came to Birmingham.

We have included a few kinds not grown from seed, but plants are easily obtainable, and if one wishes immediate effect, it were better that the plants already year old be gotten from the florist.
 Plants For Partial Shade From Seed
 There are very many parts of gardens where nothing seems to thrive on account of shade between houses or under trees. The following seeds are suggested as best suited for such situations: Anemone, antirrhinum, aquilegia, tuberous begonias daisies, canterberry bells, hardy coreopsis, delphinium digitalis, panises, torenia and violets.
 It is well to find out whether your soil needs lime before all the work is done Test it with blue litmus paper obtain able from the drug stores Make thick mass of soil and water. Insert piece of paper without touching it in mixture If paper intensely reddened soil is acid and needs lime If only pink, soil slightly acid and lime not needed.

BOY SCOUTS GUESTS |. 0F PUBLIC LIBRARY
Boys Congratulated or Work of Tearing Down
 Signs-Mathiews Talks

One hundred and fifty Boy Scouts with their scoutInasters were guests of the Birmingham public library Wednesday night There were speeches by Hon. George Ward. president of the city com mission: Franklin K. Matthews. chief scout librarian of the Boy Scouts of Amer lea; Mrs. Roberta Harris Vim and Carl H. Milan. Dr Ellwyn Ballard. scout com missioner. presided.
 Mr Ward complimented the Boy Scouts on their splendid activity in tearing down signs and assured them that every candi- date who advertised with signs on trees had been defeated. He awarded prizes to the troop and to the individual that had torn down the most signs.
 MT Matthews, who as Boy Scout li- brarian. devotes all his time to boys read ing. spoke of the plan of the Boy Scout library commission to select red blooded books that boys like and to have them put on the market at prices low enough to compete with the worthless books that are so easy to get, many of which parade under Boy Scout titles.
 He deplored the lack of up-to-date li- brary facilities in Birmingham. 'I am a bit surprised" he said. that Birmingham has not gone further with its library, con sidering it's progress in other educational lines. With the library only a modest beginning has been made. I hope for the time when it will take its place be- side Atlanta The need as.c the demand exist I have found that out already. But the library has not the money nor the books. If all of us will help the librarian and the library board however. I am sure it will not be long before 1t will at least equal the libraries in other cities of its size.
 MT. Matthews will be in Birmingham today. leaving tonight for Chattanooga. He was very active yesterday, delivering an address at the High school in the morning and speaking to the boys of I.oveman. Joseph & Loebs store at ( O clock in the afternoon.
