FRAME SCAFFOLDINIG AT
 CAPITOL COMING DOWN

The frame scaffolding in the State Capitol is now coming down and in another week the stairways and cor riders will show in all their beauty The scaffolding has been removed from the grand staircase of the North wing and the marble columns and cornice work there is thing of exceeding beauty. It will take only the placing of the magnificent chandelier in the main dome to make the building look completed.
 All the furniture is being placed, and the opera chairs in the new offices of the Arkansas Railway Commission, are in position so no one will have to stand at the next monthly meeting of the Commission.

STATE AUDITOR DOES
 NOT WORK ON SUDNAY

Little Rock, Oct. 27.-State Audi tor L. L. Cotfman is old fashioned enough to observe the Sabbath in the old fashioned way. He is a true dis ciple of "Honor the Sabbath day, and keep it holy" For years it has been customary in State House circles to do what moving there happened to be necessary, on Sunday, and thus save a day. In this manner the office would never be closed for business.
 As the State Capitol Commission has assigned the offices adjoining those of the Governor, on the front of the Capitol to the Secretary of State, it became necessary for the Auditor to remove his fixtures to the rooms oc- cupied by the Secretary of State on the opposite side of the b uilding The employees about the Capitol made ready to move the two departments on Sunday, but Auditor Coffman baked the deal. He said he did not work on Sunday and he was not going to per init his offices to be opened on that day. Consequently the offices were changed on Monday and there was little official business being transact ed in those departments of state on that day.

SCIENTIFIC MANIAC EMENT u

The art Of soil preparation has been so

zine that am going TO reproduce some
OF his advice.
Several years Of close observation he
saws, have taught me that most writer's
on gardening topics take too many things
for granted. Dig the ground thoroughly
means very little to a vast majority OF
city jewellers. while the proper handling
Of rake and hoe presents difficulties to
inexperienced gardeners that are beyond

SOLVING OUR
READERS PROBLEMS

VIII YOU kindly tell me what to DO with
azalea plants that have been in my win
dow garden all winter and that have
bloomed very nicely. ! would like to
know where TO keep them over summer,
whether to water them or not, etc.-Mrs.
r. II. W.
The following directions are adapted
from House Plants and How TO Grow
Them" by p. r. Barnes: After the plant
has ceased to bloom the wilted flowers
should be picked off and any excessively
developed shoots pinched back In order TO
stimulate them symmetricaly. Set the
plants in a window or other bright place,
watering them frequently so as TO give
the new growth new start When all
danger from frost is passed they may be
placed out I'm the garden for their summer
rest.
Plunge the pots to the rims in well
drained soil or coal ashes. Some people
advise full sunlight. but an average con-
diton, where they can get the early morn
ing aud the late afternoon sunlight, but
can be shaded somewhat during the mid
die of the day, is usually preferable.
Syringe the plants with hose or spray
pump late each afternoon, and see that
the under side Of the leaves is hit with
the fun force of the stream. that the red
spiders and th;ips may be dislodged. II
not checked these insects are likely 10 do
considerable injury. In the fall store the
plants in cool. light place, where the
temperature is from 81 to a. degrees,
keeping them there until YOU are ready TO
force them by bringing them into the

HOW TO FIT THE

if space is left, will begin 10 discuss IN
detail. However. goodly number OF IN
ouiries are coming in these days, ana IN
my opinion these and their answers are
as useful TO garden lovers in general as
any sort Of discussion can be. therefore,
we NAV have 10 put off the tool question
until next week.
Naturally the first step IN soil prepara-
lion that comes into our heads is plough
ing. but there are several reasons why
this Is Of but slight importance 10 the

dug or spaded soil is really in better con-
dition for intensive gardening than an

can be done a little at a time. in odd mo-
rnents; nth. the latter fact is OF double
value. In that IL Is better TO dig only the
amount OF garden you want to thorough
" At and plant than TO have the whole
thing ploughed up and left for perhaps
several weeks before any further work
IS done upon It. There is an exception TO
this last point IN the management of stiff
clay soils; good way TO hasten their
breaking down is TO plough them in late
fall and leave them rough and unhar-
rowed over winter, when the action of the
frost. snow, etc, assists in cro ting a
better physical condition.

Spading would take two men at least
four times as long as ploughing and
would not. In my opinion, be as effective
unless "trenching' were done. This is
an English method OF spading very
deeply and thoroughly. OF which the de-
tailed operations are about AZ follows:
