Now is the time to set out trees and
shrubs. In setting any plant Of this
KIND IN a new location II Is necessary
for the hole to be large enough to
allow the roots TO be spread out, The
soil should be worked around the roots
rs every space under them will mean
just that amount Of idle root. Too
many empty spaces under the roots
mean a dead tree or shrub. When the
earth is filed in It should be tramped
in as firmly a. possible, 1t is some.
times desirable TO wet down the soil
to make II pack more firmly The soil
particles must b. forced against the
roots to enable the soil water to be
carried to them through the action Of
capillary attraction. Many OF the fail.
res in transplaEtlns come from per
hitting the soil to lie too lightly over
the roots.

Absurdities and Results.

Some OF the antiadministration or.
CANS are very much amused at what
they call the polite language of MIR.
Wilson's last note to Carranza. What
he should have done, Of course, was
to threaten Carranza in the severe
style in which the international bully
makes known his win to small and
feeble power. On the contrary, he
actually talked to Carranza as II he
belonged to people who were en-
titled to some consideration and who
were able to back up their claims to
respect with big army and navy.
Pity about that man Wilson! He
is always doing something visionary
and absurd. And yet, 20 contrary
and illogical are events, he nearly
always gets good results. Carranza
ought to have laughed 1t him and
made faces at him, - the American
critics are doing, but instead d that
be actually does what the President
requests. OF course, this merely
illustrates what luck some people
have. The only diplomacy that Is
worth anything Is H. diplonacy Of
