No tree should be planted over hard

may be made open and porous. Such
blasting not only creates channels, in

permits deeper roofing, but it also in

tree after planting. The roots should be
placed in natural position in good top
soil, covered with more top soil and
treaded down firm. The hole can then
be filled to d little above the surface
with subsoil.
The fact that nearly all commercial
nschardists use this method proves
that it pays in reduced first year loss,
earlier fruiting and larger and better
yields.

BUILT AROUND A DEAD TREE
Summer Rest Seat That Is Not Expen-

Grounds.

The fact that summer rest seats 90
not have to be expensive to be al
tractive Is demonstrated in the seat
seen in the accompanying Illustration.
The seat has been termed the Tree
Summer Seat" from the fact that it Is
really built around tree which was
at one time growing at the point where

it now stands. Upon finding that the
tree had lest all signs of life, the gar
dener in this park devised the novel
idea Of turning the dead trunk into
this artistic seat rather than dig 1t
cut bodily.
Suiting the action to the decision he
cut the main limbs OF about six feet
from the ground and to the top Of
these he fastened a pretty roof, which
is made Of palm branches. This done,
the seat, which runs all around the
trunk at a distance Of about a foot
and a half from the ground, was made
out Of sections of palm branches. In
addition to being inexpensive, this seat
is one of the most attractive in this
very elaborate park.
TITS suggestion might we'll be fol-
lowed by others. 1t is net an uncom-
nc sight to see unsightly dead trees
in public parks, which might be con-
verted into useful and ornamental OBJ
jects instead.-World's Advance.

SYMPATHY FOR COLONEL
ANN MRG A. q OTTTNA


The hosts Of friends of Colonel and
Mrs. A. G. Quina deeply sympathize
with them in their anxiety over their
son, DR.. Claude A. Quina, the young
surgeon aboard the steamer Mar
woijne, which has not yet been heard
from and which, it is feared, has met
with some serious disaster in the re
cent hurricane. DR.. Quina recently
graduated with the highest honors
from Tulane University in New Or
leans, receiving an appointment as an
instructor IN Tulane, and also an ap-
pointment in the Charity Hospital IN
New Orleans, as inferno, having won
this appointment by coming out first
in the examinations held for the
place. His parents and relatives who
did not see DIR. Quina before he left
on the United Fruit Company
steamer Marowijne, are consumed
with anxiety, and their many friends
as well as DR.. DUMAS many friends
in Mobile and New Orleans, fervently
hope that good news of the steamer
and DR.. DUMAS safety viii soon be
received.
Every effort is being made by the
government in searching for the miss
ing vessel and by the agents Of the
United Fruit Company also, as well
as by DR.. DUMAS parents and rela-
tives.--Mobile Register.
DR.. Quina, who is a cousin OF the
Quina family Of Pensacola, has many
friends here deeply concerned over
the news Of the Marwoijne.

WHO HAS THE
PRIZE RARY7


PRIZE BABY?
We are sure Pensacola has a per-
feet baby and we should like to know
who owns him. The doctors who will
examine the children at the Better
Babies Contest to be held Sept. %,
under the auspices Of Pensacola
Equal Suffrage League, win keep
their eagle eyes open for him. Every
mother win wait breathlessly for the
verdict Of the scoring committee.
Big blue eyes and glossy golden
curls will not conquer the hearts of
the doctors; only firm muscles, clear,
alert eyes, and a willingness to do
what they are told win help the small
competitors. Prize winners win be
determined by Ia scientific grading
showing physical and mental develop
ment. A bronze medal and diplomas
presented by the Woman's Home
Companion will be given prize win
ming babies.
It will save trouble if mothers viii
dress their little ones very plainly,
as the clothing will be removed any
way before examination.
Just what constitutes a perfect
baby is a question well worth consid-
ering. For instance-just how tai
should a perfect child Of two years be
How much should he weigh? What

lection pointed out so that If it can
be remedied it may be looked after,
Competent physicians will be in
charge of each test and examination
and they will be glad to answer any
question which the mother may ask
The modern Baby Contest is nc
longer the "show" 1t used to be, where
each mother tried to Guido her neigh

disappointed if the judges preferred
