ed, there will be a wealth of roses il
June, then a brief period with no
flowers, then a few blossoms at time
all the rest of the year.
The varieties of roses known as n.y.
brid perpetuals, which are popular
roses for cut flowers, do not RESPOND
so freely. However, the extreme cut
ting treatment is the only way by
which it is possible to get a second
crop of blooms from these roses, al
though even that is not always sue

An explanation Of treatment foT

GOV. HOOPER and PARTY
MAY COME TO AMERICAS
Upon Tour of Inspection Of
Georgia Road

Americas, quite likely, may have the
honor of welcoming here Governor
Hooper, of Tennessee, and party, who
are making a tour of north Georgia
counties, looking at the good roads,
and with such object in view they will
scarcely fail to come to Sumter coun-
ty if they desire to see the best in the
way of public highways.
Governor Hooper with several other
Tennesseeans arrived in Atlanta di-
rect from Nashville. Tthey came to
look into Georgia's use of her convicts
as Tennessee must make provision for
the disposition of her convicts next
year. They are now worked in the
state prison on contract work, or on
the state farm.
Governor Hooper and his party
were taken in charge by Chairman
Dawson, of the prison commission, and
shown the Fulton county camps and
roads. From here the party will go
to Athens, then probably to Macon and
the state prison farm Other sections
may be visited, although their plans
are nst fully settled as yet.

Washington, D. c., May 3O.-Roses,

the home grounds, serve to set off a
fine lawn, and improve the appearance
of a place not only during their bloom

Most of the varieties that are used as
shrubs have a foliage of lighter ap-
pearance than the majority of other
bushes used for similar adornmen;,
and they are, therefore, placed prefer
ably in front of the other plants. This
will result in a pleasing contrast be-

GOOD ROADS DAY this MONTH

Washington, D. c., May 29-(Spec-

ting apart two days, May 2S and 20, as
Good Roads Days" In his proclama-
ton he requests that on those days
other business shall be suspended as
far as possible and every able-bodie1
citizen shall work on the public high
ways.
The governor has urged upon the
press the importance of giving liberal
publicity to the movement and has
called upon the various commercial
bodies of the state, the road overseers,
road engineers, and everyone who is
directly or indirectly identified with
road building to contribute their la
Dor.

When Actor Made an Enemy.

Willie Edouin once told of an actor
In a certain company who one day in.
cautiously disclosed the secret that he
was actually saving 81 a week. The
rest of the company were dumfounded
at it. Then they enjoyed the joke"
immensely. He was chaffed unmerci-
fully. There was only one person
present who did not join in the fun
against him. He repained silent and
when the money saver left he took an
opportunity of slipping out after him
and congratulated him on his common
sense in providing fer a rainy day
Then he informed him that he himself
had often thought of doing the same
thing, but circumstances had always
been against him, and just then he
was at his wits ends. Would the
saver mind lending him, say, a ten
spot till Sunday? He did not get it
and became from that time one of the |
most bitter rdiculers of saving as !
tending to make a man think of NO
one but himself. 1t really required
courage in many circles to own TO

VILLA SENDS

ERAL BENJAMIN HILL, WHO
HAS REFUSED TO OBEY GEN.
VILLAS COMMANDS.

FL Paso, Tex, Sept. 2O,-Two bri-
gades of General Villas troops to-
day began an invasion of the state
of Sonora. They departed from Jua-
rez by train to Casas Grandes,
whence they will proceed overland in
to the western border state to com
bat constitutionalist forces under
General Benjamin Hill, who has re-
fused to obey General Villas com
mands.
1t is said that the movement of
nearly 1000 Villa soldiers into Son
ora had been made contrary to the
sanction of General Obregon, com
manding the northwestern military
zone, of which Sonora is a part.
The question caused serious disagree
ment between Villa and Obregon. 1t
is said Villa virtually has placed
Obregon under arrest at the Chi
huahua state capital. General An
geles, Carranza's deposed secretary of
war, is in charge of the movement
in Sonora in place Of Obregon.
CarranZa agents expressed the
opinion that Hill would combat the
invasion of Sonora where a rebell-
ion already has been begun against
the central government.

WHEAT SOWING
BEGINS TODAY
At SPRINGER
FORAGE CROPS AND TELLS
WHY HE LIKES FETERlTA BET.
TER THAN kAFIR AND CANE.

Robert f. Scivally began sowing
wheat today on his farm near Sprin-
ger. He says that he will make no
material increase this year in his
wheat acreage, but will SOW a good
crop of oats and will make a speciality
next year of growing a large forage
crop. He will have one field of 100
acres in feterita and besides this crop
he Will have cane and kafir growing
He believes feterita a better crop
than kafir because it makes more TO
the acre and natures three weeks
earlier. The crop can be planted when
cotton Is planted and it can also be
planted in July and make a crop. His
first cutting of feterita this year made
from eight to ten tons to the acre.
The harvesting was done in July and
the plants came up and are making a
second crop that will make better
harvest than the first crop. In other
words, feterita this year is making
about twenty tons of feed to the acre
This amount of ensilage is worth
from $50 to 500. Where one is equip
ped with land, with sios and the ma
chinery to fill silos and with live stock
it seems that a good profit can be
made from forage crops in this coun-
try.

Many people think it is an easy

wareroom, one Of his whims being
that even short removal Of a piano
knocks 1t out Of tune. There is, of
course, modiCum OF truth in the
theory. SO it was tuned upon the
platform where he was to perform.
He stood over the tuner all the time,
ct intervals emitting groans and
strong German language When tho
task was almost completed he gave
shout and, seizing the wrench, began
doing 1t all over again. In three min.
utes he had the piano so hopelessly
out Of gear that it took three hours
to set 1t right again. Herr Won Bu.
