out special significance was that Of
Secretary of State Bryan signing the
cards Of $4,000 men who had taken
the pledge Of total abstinence at one
of the Billy Sunday meetings, after
Mr.. Bryan's address against the drink
curse. His attack against the liquor
evil from the economic standpoint in
cluded the following statements:
ut is estimated that the people Of
the United States spend almost ST.
100000 annually on intoxicating
liquors. The cost of the Panama
canal, the most gigantic engineering
feat in history, was about $400. 900, 900.
ID 1t not appalling to think that we
spend for drink every year something
like six times the cost of the Panama
canal?
Il have endeavored to obtain an ac-
curate estimate Of the amount OF
money spent on education in this
country, and the figure given me is
$750, 900, 900. We spend for drink more
than three times as much as we spend
for education.
The annual appropriations Of the
federal government are little less
than 81 ,250, 100000. This sum includes
the salaries Of all the public officials.
from the president down. All Of these
government agencies employed In ad-
ministering the federal government
OF this great nation are operated at

National w. G. T. q. organizer, in the
Union Signal, II spent seven months
in the state. In 1915, with prohibition
an accomplished fact, I visited it
again. The change is marked. A blind
man could see it. Out from the prin-
cipal towns the land of muddy roads
is building here, there, yonder, paved
roads into the country. Almost every
mile has been built since the state
went dry. It is a new experience to
the farmer, when the dirt roads are
almost hub deep in yellow clay, to
drive five or ten miles into town on q
hard brick road, and get there with
team and carrisge as spick and span
as when he started. City streets are
being paved, parks are being laid out,
street car lines are being extended,
and new buildings are going up every
where. In some of the smaller towns,
because the demand is SO great,
houses are rented at extravagant
prices"

AS the frost leaves the soil, dig

about the shrubs. roses and hardy
perennials. II there be no winter
mulch about such plants, be sure to
apply some sort Of fertilizer to them.
In the absence Of well-rotted ma
nure apply good coat of bone meal.
Scatter 1t about the base Of the plants
after the soil is stirred. and let the
rain drive it to the roots.
When digging for permanent beds.
see that the soil is stirred and thor
ougbly aerated by digging deep, and
by spilling or throwing the soil from
the spade in thin stream-thus sep
arating 1t as much as possible.
Dig a strip fifteen or eighteen
inches wide across the bed or border
and then rake it, beginning at the
bottom Of the trench and fning the
soil from the subsoil to the top. Con-
tinue this throughout the length Of
the bed, and then you will have
worked the soil perfectly.

fully to see II insects or fungi have
done any damage. Be sure to burn
the wrappings II any traces Of pests

as may be needed to rout the enemy.
Seedlings grown in the house. hot
beds or coldframes need harden on
