summer. About two inches increase

A compost can be secured from the
florist or made at home.
A good garden soil mixed with barn
yard or commercial fertilizer Is all
that Is needed. Too little of the fer
tilizer is better than too much, which
will burn the roots.
Broken bits Of crockery must be
placed over the hole in the bottom of
the pot Three inches of dirt is then
placed over this and leveled ready
for the plant.
In removing the plant from the old
pot, care should be taken that the
leaves are uninjured. To avoid this,
strike the sides of the pot lightly but
firmly with trowel A sharp blow
on the edge should cause the soil and
rect to come out together. The mold
Is placed at once In the new pot and
given a thorough wetting.
The new compost is then put in
around 1t until the pot is filled. 1t
must be remembered that the plant

September 10 he began his return.
He spent the night at farm house
near the place where the boat was to
wait for him. The next morning he
went to breakfast at little wayside
inn, "The Cedars," kept by widow
named Chichester. During his meal a
man entered and stared at him. Cap
tain Hale paid little attention, as he
thought he was safe by now.
As soon as the meal was finished he
hurried off to the rendezvous 1t was
a misty morning AS Hale approached
the beach he saw a boat pulling in.
Glad almost beyond belief to be rid of
his dangerous task he hurried down
to meet it. Too late he realized that
instead of Sergeant Hampstead and
Ansel Wright the boat was filled with
British marines. He turned to run,
but the marines caught him

the marines reluctantly were prepar-
ing to turn him loose when one of
them, with an oath, threw the boot he
held at a tree. That tore away the
strip that covered the secret hiding
place and the papers fell out.
Captain Hale was then taken aboard
frigate in the harbor and later to
New York, where General Howe ques-
toned him. There was nothing to do
but admit that he was a spy. General
Howe Immediately ordered that the
young patriot be hanged the following
day and turned him over to an officer
named Cunningham, the provost mar

That night Hale was kept in soil

allowed to write letters TO his mother
and Alice Adams, his sweetheart, in
New London. Cunningham furnished
him with paper and ink and then de-

saying:

the best officers in the regiment. He
went with his company to Boston and
during the siege Of that city by the
army under General Washington the
twenty-year-old boy was promoted to
be a captain for bravery and eff
cheney.
When the British evacuated Bos-
ton and sailed for New York greater
part of the American army went down
that way. Captain Hale and his regi-
ment were among them. They took
part in all the hardships of that cam
paign.
Late In the summer Of 1776, when
the British had driven the American
army from Long Island, General
Washington was particularly anxious
to establish some sort of secret in
formation line into New York. He
tried many plans without success.
Finally he summoned his officers 10 a
council and told them to be on the
lookout for some bright, courageous

Captain Hale had been sick in bed
for some time, and his fellow officers

THE IRIS EASY TO GROW
BY C.. BESTCHER.

OF all plants the most Indifferent to
all conditions and environments, soils
and care, none yields the product that
the Iris does, and with high culture
it is just that much more satisfactory
for the added attention.
In all garden operations one should
observe natural conditions of growth,
as this with added good care will lead
to success.
The Germanic type of Iris is, in
many ways, an especially desirable
plant. 1t is most desirable as a gar
den flower or for cutting, as they
keep especially we'll in the hot sun.
Many people say "Oh, flags, they
are SO common" However, when they
see collection in good colors they
very soon decide differently.
Many growers 60 to far more trou-
bic than is necessary in making prep
arations fof planting many subjects.
For all plants we recommend giving
the soil coat of manure in the fall,
the 1reSner the Detter.
Apply it at once several inches
thick-if the soil is very poor, if good
give only an inch thickness. When
this thaws out rake it SO that the
fine PARTICLES are taken out.
Do this several times between now
and spring time, so the elements are
we'll incorporated with the soil.
Spade when the ground is in good
shape-if possible, do so before freez-
ing is over, for when spaded so the
frost will penetrate it deeply, pulver-
izing 1t so it is soft and pliable. the
plants will do much better.
For German Iris, plant the roots
deeply; but the bulb should be COW

that with advancing civilization he can

boy was Nathan Hale. His heroic sac
rifice to his country's cause is one of
the treasured pages in American his
tory.
New London went wild with excite
ment when the news of the battle of
Lexington reached there. Bands of
patriots paraded the streets. Guns
were fired and speeches made. A meet
ing was called at once to determine
what that city should do in the war.
Every man of prominence spoke and
then the young schoolteacher was
called to the platform. What words
he said that day have been lost to pos.
terity, but we do know they must have
been the most stirring of the occasion.
for Immediately after he left the plat
form men began marching forward to
enlist. One sentence of Nathan Hale's
that day has been preserved and it is
worthy to rank with the greatest say
ings of our nation.
Let us march Immediately and new
er lay down our arms until we have
obtained independence" he said
That is all the more remarkable
when one remembers that it was more
than year later before independence
was talked of in the continental con-
gress and it was two years before the
Declaration Of independence was
adopted.

ant in the regiment of Col. Charles
