1t seems to The Banner that this view
of the matter is entirely wrong. Some
where around 10000 hunters licenses
have been taken out in one year in Yer.
mont Probably twice as many more
are Interested in fishing, an aggregate
that is enormous. The fish and game
legislation at Montpelier interests more
people than legislation or any other one
subject except taxation-probably. The
type of man ordinarily sent to the leg.
islature is often not in the least familiar
with the fish and game question. To
the Banner it looks to be wise and
proper thing Tor sportsmen to assemble
at Montpelier during tlfe session Of the
legislature and also for other bodies
which are in any way allied to the inter
rsts of the state. We do not believe in
the applying the principle of segregation
to the Observation-Disclosures Banner.
The Banner is right in what it says in
the above. We surely believe it is right
for the "sportsmen to assemble at Mont
pelier during the session." as much in
formation could be impaired and gained
by such gathering, but we do draw the
line on the banquet" part. where it has
been nothing else than hilarrtv of the
liveliest kind. "Cut out the banqist ant
get down to brass tacks" by discussing
that which is for the best interest of the
state and the sportsmen-how best pre-
serve and protect our fish and game.

Surgeon General Gorgas announced
that the hospital rate was the lowest

less alcoholism than ever and that, in
spite of the large number of men on
duty in southern ATTITUDES. the malariaI
fever rate was the lowest since 1898,
when American troops first were sta
toned permanently in the tropics.
Spe cial attention was paid by the
surgeon general to the high hygienic
standards maintained in camp. where
considerable part of the army had
to live during the year.
Shortage of mobile hospital units was
pointed to as a flaring defect. Our

SUGGESTIONS FOR
CITY BEAUTIFUL
DURING THE FALL

Peoples in the South.-In the south al
waysS sow oriental poppy seed in the fall
say october or November, or even as late
as December. Plant in rich soil in q
sunny place. and just before sowing seed
mix them well with FIVE or six times the
quantity OF sand or dry earth Sow very
thinly. as the plants should not be closer
than from to ~ inches apart. II closer
than that they will not grow so tall and
the flowers will not be so large and fine
If, in spite of your efforts, they come up
too th.cSly. thin them out and If you
wish you can transplant them. il it is
done on damp, cloudy day and the
earth around them is disturbed as little
as possible There is popular belief that
peoples cannot be transplanted success
fully, as they have long tap root and no
fibrous ones, and wilt very easily, but il
care is taken 1t can be done
If the blooms are desired for cut flow
ers, cut early in the morning If possible,
then dip the end of each stem in very hot
water then put in vase of cold water
and they will not wilt as they frequently
do without this treatment.
The oriental poppies last longer than
the Shirley poppies which. though vsry
dainty and lovely as to color and variety,
only last one day and then drop their
"DETAILS.
Nothing Is more gorgeous than a mass
of tall oriental peoples with their glowing
colors-white. rose, scarlet and varie-
stated.
If one has plenty of space 1T is advis-
able to plant largely of peoples, then in
May and June cut them to your heart $
content and feast your eyes on their
beauty.
