No Compromise
For PrOhibitiOnists

Atlanta, Oct. 4. -Leading pro-
hibitionists here are not willing
to consider any proposed "com-
promise" that would put off the
enforcement of new prohibition
law until 1917.
That talk is all bosh," they
declare, "and the new bills will
become effective in good time to
give Georgia a clean 1916"
DR.. H. M. Dubose, pastor of
the First Methodist church, has
actively taken up the fight to a
finish, and in a recent statement
says. Within fifty days I ex-
pect to see this baneful privilege
everthrown. Recently a number
of very strong men in this city
have come to the aid of this cause.
God has particularly raised up a
man of this congregation (refer-
ring to Thomas B. Felder) who
dedicated his powers, time and
substance unselfishly to this
work. At last victory is in
sight. - DR.. DuBose is chairman
of the temperance committee of
the North Georgia Conference.
Colonel Fielder in answering
some of his critics who have init
mated that he is politically am
bilious and is under the pay of
the Anti Saloon League, has
made vigorous reply that he
wants no office of any kind and
has not received a cent from any,
body for anything he has done
for prohibition.

SPARE MINUTE GARDENS
BY LULU C. PARKER.

by LULU u FRhNEh.
These spare-minute gardens, de-
signed for busy women, are not formal
affairs; they are border beds about
two by eight feet in size and should
be planted along the walks, drive
ways and fences.
Get good seed from a reliable seeds
man. Phlox will not germinate at all
unless 1t is fresh. Cheap balsam seed
will produce poor flowers.
Plant tall sorts in row at the back,
medium sized sorts in clumps Of a
dozen seedlings or more, and use the
low growing sorts for edging.
Any OF these little gardens will
furnish enough cut flowers for the
table, with few to give away, besides
Frightening the yard from June until
frost.
Five minutes each day or half an
hour once a week given up to stirring
the top soil and wedding, will be all
the attention required after the plant
ing is done.

One packet phlox drummondi six
inches to one foot; blooms June and

No. 8. A handy garden that will
bloom the first year with a light
strawy winter protection and improve
in appearance from year to year. After
the first planting they will require
only an occasional mulch of old man

plants when they begin to crowd,
which will not be before the third

Two Irishmen, long enemies, met in
the street one day. Said one: What's
the sinse OF two intilligint min goin'
along, year after year, like a couple of
wildcats spittin' at each other? Here
we live in the same block, and 'tis
burnin' shame that we do be actin
like a couple of boobies. Come along
wild yer, shake hands and well make
up and be frinds." This they did, and
went to an adjacent saloon to cement
the friendship with glass of grog.
Both stood at the bar in silence, each
with drink of whisky in his hand.
One looked at the other and said:
What are you thinkin' about?" The
other replied: "Oi'm thinkin' the same
thing that you are" 80" said the
first one, "ye're startin' it agin, are
ye?"

A Fellow Feeling.

"All sorts and conditions of men
have excellent explanations for their
position in life" said the senator. a
tramp, however, came under my OBJ
servation who had no illusions about
the cause of his own condition. A
finelooking and fashionably dressed
woman had Just alighted from her
limousine at the hotel entrance and
was suddenly approached by this shah
billy dressed man, who requested q
dime. No, have no money to spare
for you,' she said. I do not see why
an able bodied man like you should
go about begging I s'pose, ma'am.'
replied the lazy tramp. It's fer about
the same reason that a healthy woman
like you boards at a hotel instead Of
keepin' house. "-Harper's Magazine.

ostrlohes cheaper These DAYS.

It helps one to realize the South AT
rican slump in ostriches, as shown
by the sale of a full-grown bird for
three pence at Grahamstown, when
one recalls former prices. In the
early days of ostrich farming a chick
newly out of the egg would sometimes
fetch e10, and $500 has been
paid for a good pair of grown birds.
But those were the days when one
plucking of single bird would bring
in &25, and of late years prices
have not ruled so high-you could get
quite a good pair of ostriches for G12.
Ostrich farming dates from about
1907, and brought many a pioneer a
fortune when it first began.-London

NOTES ON BLOOMING THINGS

No matter what the calendar says,
do not plant your tuberoses out OF
doors until the ground is warm and
spring settles downright.
Liquid manure is made by saving
a barrel in two or using a tub with
spigot near the bottom. Punch holes
in an old lard can through the bot
tom and fill with fresh manure. Place
it on the tub with boards laid across
the tub) and fill the can with water.
Harden plants grown under cover
by exposing them to the sun and air
and outdoor atmosphere. Expose them
but a short time at first and increase
the exposure until they are hardy.
However, they must not be left in the
weather during high or cold winds or
when frost, snow or ice are in the
air.

CARE OF THE LAWN

In a dry season don't NOV the lawn
as often as in the showery one. Regu-
late the frequency of your moving by
the appearance Of the grass. Aim to
keep it looking green and velvety. 1t

it shaved too closely in dry weather
And don't make the mistake of clip

the appearance of having been shaved

and the plushlike effect upon which
all lawns depend for their attractive

was followed by four soldiers.

The eyes of Franco flashed. Pepina
tore herself from his protecting clasp.
She rushed at the box, picked it up
and clasped 1t to her breast, sobbing
out:
