Why Not Change the Law.
(Randolph Herald and News

Governor Gates has been called upon
to follow up the prosecution of a Bel
lows Falls Sunday ball player by do
ing the same thing to Brattleboro Sun
day golfsts. Why not remodel the Sun
day law to make it conform with the
majority sentiment, instead of an alb
solute impossibility of enforcement, as
at present? This might not and proba
bly, would not mean noisy games and
sports played for admission on Sunday
but it would give us a law that would
mean something more than a farce OF
a means of paying off scores.

OVERLOOKING ROSES

Everblooming roses should be at
their best during the fall months.
Tea roses must be fed literally; old
rotted- manure, cow-manure is best,
but bone meal is good.
Dig several big spoonfuls of fer
tilizer about the roots of each rose
planted replacing the mulch.
Cut back the blooming branches as
soon as the flowers fade; work the
soil under them and give a good soak
ing with manure water early in Sep
TENDER and you will have abundant
bloom until frost.
Sharp pruning and good feeding is
the sure means of getting fall roses.
Keep down all insect pests with spray
of sulpho-tobacco soap used according
TO directions on the package.
A tendency to blight of buds at this
season means insects at the roots.
Dissolve peck of fresh lime in bar
rel of water and give the ground a
good soaking with the solution, using
only clear water on top.
When pruning the roses, use all cut
tings four or five inches long for root
ing. Insert the cutting in well-worked
