SETTING OUT ROSE BUSHES
Points to Be Remembered by Those
Who Are Fond Of the Fragrant
Flower.

All roses are heavy feeders and re-
quire rich, moist soil A clay soil. II
well enriched and having perfect
drainage, is ideal. Pruning should be
carefully done, preferably in the
spring. All weak growth should be
cut out and the balance well cut back.
The flowers of almost all being
borne on the new wood, the bushes
should be cut back half or more Of
their growth.
In the majority Of cases, roses on
their owns roots will prove more salts
factory than budded stock. On own
rooted stock, the suckers or shoots
from below the surface Of the soil
will be of the same kind. whereas with
budded roses there is danger OF the
stock starting into growth and, not
being discovered. and finally killing
out the weaker growth. Still, II the
plants are set deep enough to pre-
vent adventurous buds OF the stock
from starting, there is no question
that finer roses may be grown than
from plants on their W roots.
In setting out the rooted bushes. do
not crowd the roots into q small space,
but have the roots well spread out
and the ground we'll frmed around
them.

Paint Up!

Says the Abilene Reporter: "A gal
Ion Of paint costs less than two dollars
and will go a long way toward cover
ing your house. 1t not only improves
the beauty Of the structure but pre-
serves the wood from decay. 1t Ia
cheaper to paint up than not to do 80"
This advice Is particularly applicable
to conditions now existing in our own
city. There is a large amount OF un'
employed labor here that could be
profitably used in such work and with
q great number Of vacant houses need
Ing the application Of the paint brush.
The owners Of such houses could find
40 more opportune time for enhancing
the value OF their W property and
1t the same time giving employment

The Small Town..

Now, living is the most important

out the place that he likes the best,

ALCOHOL. SHOT AND SHELL.

The Reformer, a paper OF western
Australia, writes Of the effects of in
~toxicating drinks in the eXpeditionary
force of that state as follows:
A little time ago 10000 troops were
medically certified as sound in wind
and limb. Then alcohol began to put
In its fine work, and In a short time
1000 of them, either for behavior or
sickness, were dismissed. Their
places we're soon filled, but neither
the citizens nor the soldiers had learn
ed their lesson, and SO whisky or
beer was still regarded as the bond
of good-fellowship, and the test OF
hospitality. Then came along pneu-
monia. that dread daughter Of alco-
holism. 1t was pneumonia in the
camp, pneumonia at Albany, pneu-
monia on the sea, and pneumonia be-
meath the shadow Of the pyramids.
Some tardily recovered, others we're
laid beneath the turf or the wave be-
fore ever they saw the fash Of Turk
fish sword or heard the burst of Ger
mar bomb.
Alcoholism and pneumonia indeed
can scarcely be separated, and the
foremost physicians of England now
are saying that they look upon the
previous alcoholic condition Of a pa
tient as the arbiter Of his life when
attacked by pneumonia. This first
blood in our war was drawn, not by
the bayonets of the enemy, but by
the folly Of ourselves. The foolish
hospitality of the people and the
drinking dens of the state Joined
hands In destroying our defenders.

EARL KITCHENER
ON WAY TO INDIA
Real Destination Of Sirdar Said to

N1zAN OF HYDERABAD DEposED

today, to be India, where, according
to the same information, British rule
is confronted with a more serious
state OF unrest than has been gener-
ally known outside of British Of
fetal circles.
Through the thick veil which the Brit
fish censorship has thrown about the
events in India ana Egypt comes a state
ment that Nawab, Sultan VI Mulk, tho
NIzam OF Hyderabad, one Of the most
influential Of the native princes, and a
staunch supporter OF the British. has
been deposed by his people.
This development coming as one of the
climaxes to successive reports OF mutinies
and unrest. many Of which have been
substantiated and admitted by the British
government .s said to be the leading
reason for Earl Kitchener's departure
from England, which has been shrouded
with much secrecy.
1t has been officially announced that
the head OF the British war office was on
his way to the theater Of operations in
the near east which has been generally
interpreted as meaning the Balkans where
the critical situation Of the moment con-
fronts the allied forces. Information
