HINTS ABOUT FLOWERS

We usually think OF pruning only
when II plant is asleep. II Is true. that
the easiest pruning should be done
then. but there is much hat We can
do during the summer to keep a plant
In good condition.
The lilac is usually the best pruned
shrub We have. for the simple reason
that we are apt TO pick very bloom.
The plant cannot OF se then make
any seeds and the strength Is thrown
into ley wood where It belongs.
Rose bushes should be treated the
same way. A second bloom can be
produced on wistaria by following this
rule and cutting head OF each runner,
Along towards the middle OF sum.
mer you will notice new, very strong
shoots coming upon your plants, When
they reach an even height with the rest
OF the plant nip out the tip and leaves
with your thumb and finger and thus
make the shoot send out some side
branches.

CARE OF THE FERNS
BY L. M.

The ordinary way to propagate this
class OF plants is by dividing the
plants. by I'll creeping rhizomes. by
the little bulblets that form on the
fronds and by the seeds or spores that
appear on the under side OF the
leaves.
The enterprislng fern lover will find
It most interesting TO propagate by
spores and %perchance produce a really
valuable addition 4 these beautiful
and graceful plants.
Procure q seed.pan or box with
plenty Of drainage holes. and cover
the bottom with broken crockery. On

PRESIDENT GARZA MOVES TO cUERNAVACA TO SET UP
 NEW GOVERNMENT
CARRANzA IS NEAR CAPITAL
All Government Establishments Are Closed, the Commercial Houses and Banks and Even Private Dwellings Are Barred.

Mexico City Jan Provisional President Cara and his government left the capital early today for Cuer. navaca, where new seat of govern ment will be established
 This afternoon the last contingent of the army of evacuation is hurry ing through the streets. The army of occupation fingers on the outskirts of the city but is expected to enter soon
 All the commercial houses and banks and even private dwellings are barred and shuttered, although no disorder has attended the fleeing of the forces of zapata and Villa.
 The national palace, the federal telegraph and postoffices and other government establishments are now closed The incoming Carranza forces are commanded by General AlYarado, former post commander here. When they enter the city it is expected some sort of government will be established.
 The price of foodstuffs has scared beyond the reach of the needy The supply of food is very low in the city and unless the railway line to Vera Cruz is opened soon, it is believed there will be much suffering.
 The decision of the government 10 quit the capital came after a heated discussion at session of the conven- ton held Tuesday night. It was de- cided President Garza, his govern ment and the members of the con vention should proceed after mid night to Cuernavaca. Colonel Garza and General Ernesto Santos Coy are reported to have departed on a spe- cial locomotive.
 The deputies who have not left al- ready will be forced to proceed from the city in automobiles as there is no fuel for the locomotives.
 The troops of General Zapata are entraining in thirty electric trains in Xochimilco and Morelos.
 There is a rumor in circulation that the vanguard of General Obre- gon's troops is now four miles from the capital advancing
 In a secret session of the conven- ton some of the deputies demanded that Zapata be called upon personal ly 10 take command of his troops and fight the forces of Carranza. How ever it was decided afterwards that the capital be abandoned and the municipal council left in charge.
 Previously the convention voted to dismiss General Palafox. minister of agriculture, because of his alleged incapacity in directing operations.
