Forest Trees For Fall Planting.

The State Board of Forestry at Johns
Hopkins University. has just completed a
schedule and price list of forest planting
stock for fall use. Sale of the trees,
which are grown in the new State Nursery
at College Park. is restricted to land own
ers of this State, to whom they are offered
at the usual nominal prices representing
the actual growing cost.
Lands on the farm that cannot grow
farm crops are better used for trees, and
the State Nursery was established for the
express purpose of growing forest trees
suitable for planting up waste soils with a
useful crop. and of making such work
readily available through the sale of trees
which would be carefully chosen, we'll
grown. and sold at cost. Last spring saw
the distribution of many thousands of
valuable trees to residents of Maryland,
and the Board is now prepared to fill
orders for fall planting with somewhat
larger and older stock. Planting at this
season is particularly recommended for
the lighter soils in Central, and Southern
Maryland and on the Eastern Shore.
In the State Nursery the conifers are
represented by seedlings and transpants
of White Pine and Norway Spruce, and
great number of the better hardwoods-
Red Oak. White Ash, American Elm,
Black Walnut. Black and Honey Locuts.
Prices range from 81. so per thousand for
Locust Seedlings and s.. so fop Red Oak.
to 5000 per thousand for White Pine
transplants and $I2.oo for Black Walnut.
The charges are based on lots of one
thousand trees. but smaller quantities OF
any kind may be secured at pro rata
prices. All trees sold are disposed of
under an agreement that they be used for
reforestation or roadside planting in
Maryland, and requests for price lists or
advice on planting win be given prompt
attention by the State Forester at BaIti-
more.

SOME TIMELY HINTS

In grating the greatest care should be observed that scions are not taken from trees infested with San Jose scale or that are in any way diseased.
 Do not set out evergreens in the fall. Have them delivered as early in the spring as possible and make the ground ready now.
 In order to obtain the largest blooms on your chrysanthemum plants, pick off all but the large central bud and do it as soon as the buds begin to show.
 After the drain tile has been put in, crushed rock, gravel or coal cinders will keep the ground in good condi- tion.
 Do not be in hurry to mulch the strawberry beds. Wait until a good stiff freeze comes along.
 After the bees have been safely housed in dry cellar, with the pot toms of the hives resting on pieces about two inches thick, do not disturb them until spring.

ble selectmen of the town, you are authorized to arrest people, and all that?''
 Part of my prerogatives, I should say, yes!" returned Wilson magnilo quently.
 Very well; act slow, but sure, on hint I am going to give you"
 Whats the hint?' questioned Will son.
 Professor Dixon is a spy!"
 .Nonsense!"
 You won't say so when I explain further. 1 wondered why he went to board with old Mrs Roderick for it's a ramshackly old place over the shop her dead husband used to run I've found out. He went there to get the secret use of the shop. He works far into the night with tools and metal, and the like. He gets letters from foreign parts. See here"
 Mrs. Moore exhibited three envel- opes They were addressed to the young professor One bore a Berlin postmark, a second that of an Aus trian city, a third was from Amster- dam
 How I got them after Dixon had thrown them carelessly aside, never mind" proceeded Mrs. Moore. There they are. If he isn't in reasonable correspondence with foreign powers, and maybe manufacturing explosives to blow up the state capitol or the White House, or what not, then don't know much!'
 You do--a good deal.' commented Wilson eagerly Lucy, you've done me a big service! Give me those en- velopes. I think you've hit it right. Dixon is one of those international spies I'll get on his trail. Oh, if can only land him and have the field clear to court Edna again.
 No rash moves now" warned his sister.
 'T1l be sure of my ground before l make definite move" pledged VII son.
 From that hour he became sleuth. He told nobody of his suspicious and plans He simply kept an eye OR his hated rival. Night times he prowled around the old shop, but it was well boarded up and barricaded. One night, however, he managed to locate convenient crack in the outside sheathing of tho structure
 There he patiently installed himself. He had fair view of the young pro lessor. The latter worked at forge, mixed scme liquid substances in re- tort Finally he went to a work

MAKING MOST OF THE PHLox
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

Nearly everyone can grow phlox and have what is regarded as great suc- cess, yet few, even among professional gardeners know how to coax the great est growth and beauty out of this plant.
 Hardy phlox can be transplanted at any time, preferably in the fall or early spring, by dividing old clumps. or they can be grown from seeds plant ed very shallow as soon as they are ripe. When allowed to become dry they are more or less disappointing in germination, so that we may say that division is the best method. If string divisions are taken early in April and planted about IS or IS inches apart and the tops are pinched back when about inches high to make them spread and not more than two or three growths are allowed, they will give a very large head of bloom with a maximum of florets. Give clean culture and an occasional dress ing of manure or manure water.
 By this method of culture the phlox becomes an exceptional flower when compared with the big clumps that most people allow to grow. To get best results they should be planted new each fall or spring and give plenty of water while in bloom
 When big masses of plants are de- sired, about one-third of the stems should be pinched back. This will produce much longer season of blooming.

THE WAR SPY

 SON.

I'm neutral" observed Mrs. Lucy Moore to her brother, James Wilson, but
 What are you getting at, Lucy?' challenged Wilson, in his usual gruff way.
 q knowl" and Mrs Moore bobbed her head wisely. You can't fool me. It's about the war-and treason! And maybe I've made great discov- cry, and maybe not"
 More likely not growled Wilson. "You and your chattering gossips are always hunting up some mares nest. ,
 "U-um! That's your way of taking something that may be of importance considerable importance-to your self personally
 "Is that sol" jeered Wilson sneer- ingly "Then don't be so mysterious, and let us know what you are limiting al"
 Very we'll" replied Mrs. Moore, 'ycu know that young stranger, Pro lessor Dixon, as they call him, who came here about month ago and took rooms with old Mrs. Roderick?"
 T ought to!" fired up Wilson, with q venomous gleam in his eyes.
 He just caught the fancy of the girl you was after, hey?" Uttered Mrs. Moore maliciously Not that I think she'd ever have had you, but the field was a clear one. We'll. James, I think l have found out something about Pro- lessor Dixon that will make big stir-up in this community
 Wilson looked interested Savage, too! He shut his teeth and hissed be- tween them inadvertently. He might never hope to win Edna Rolfe, for she was not of his class, but there would be a good deal of satisfaction in "get ting even' with the fellow who had 'cut him out!
 Now, James," proceeded his sis ter, T know what fiery, impetuous creature you are, and if I tell you a secret, I want you to promise that you won't blaze right up and make a trayesty of what may be big feath- CT in your cap. As one of the honora-

PecuIiarIty of Husbands.

Whoever said all men may not be alike but all husband are, knew good deal about husbands. Horatio is 8 husband. Mine. One of his peculiari- ties is to ask me, if do anything a little unusual, what on earth 1 did 1t for, in a tone I have noticed in other husbands. and when he uses that tone I never tell him. A woman doesn't always know why she does things, does not always have time to think in advance. She only knows she must do them, and thinks afterward.-From "Horatio" by Kate Langley Bosher in Harpers Magazine.

SURELY VICTIM OF HARD LUCK
Incident of the Trenches That Reveals the Hardships That Are Under
 gone by the Soldier.

He was a Canadian and he wore a corporals stripes. There he sat snug ly in a sheltered part of his trench in that little corner of Belgium and played poker with quartet of his comrades Luck was against him. He had lost about everything he had to lose, when. at the very height of the game-just after the dealer had done his best and worst-a shell came through the roof of the shelter, passed between the Canadians long, lean legs (luckily without hitting him), and buried itself harmlessly in the soft earth. The others of the party leaped up in not inexcusabie haste and fled from the place, but the Canadian did not move.
 The disturbance brought the com pany commander on the run.
 Whats up?" says he.
 Well, sir" says the Canadian, that there shell drops in on us and when it don't explode at once I judge it is pretty safe not to go off at all. So just set where am. The cursed luck of it is that I've been playin' away here all mornin' drawin' rotten cards and losin' my shirt, and here just as I holds the first four of kind that's gladdened my two eyes since Hector was pup-and kings at that, sir-at that identical moment there comes this piffin' German turnip and the other fellows beats it."-New York Evening Post.

FUN AND MONEY IN ASTERS
By LIMA R. ROSE.

Asters should be started in the house. Two hundred seedlings can be started in one cigar box, which is a most convenient shape and size for standing on the window sill
 Fill boxes to within one-half inch of the top with loose loam. It is al ways well in sowing seeds in boxes to sift the top layer. Make four trenches the length of the box. Place seeds in trenches and cover
 Before watering cover with cloth. A strip torn from coarse linen towel is good. Water thoroughly. The cloth will prevent the water from washing out the seeds the first time you dampen them and subsequently will prevent rapid evaporation.

bench and took up a brown glass globe about the size of pound sweet apple.
 Into this he poured the contents of retort. He sealed up it's end and placed the globe carefully in basket containing about dozen others. Bombs, sure as you live!" gasped Wilson, and his big frame shook with rear and excitement and his eyes gog- gled. He went home full of his mar vicious discovery What a sensation It would make when the dread intelli- gence was made public! What should he do? Wilson tossed restlessly in his bed all night long, trying to decide on action. Should he telegraph the authorities at Washing ton? No, secret service men would be sent and he would be robbed of ths glory of the capture of real war spy red-handed.
 With the morning came clear coun- sel. Wilson decided to make tue sheriff his ally. But that official was out of town and would not return un- til evening. All day Wilson hung around, restless and excited. His overstrained nerves found relief only when he had captured the sheriff when he arrived on the train, and talk ing him aside, he revealed his great discovery.
 That functionary was quite as ctfi irrrnd I, 1IG AL. proceeded in the direction of the workshop. There was a light within and Dixon was discernible at work bench.
 Make a rush with me and burst in the door!" whispered the sheriff.
 Just as they were getting ready for their heroic onslaught, however, a boy came running down the street.
 "Fire Fire' he yelled Justify "The office building up at the big works is all ablazel"
 The stirring announcement seemed to reach the worker inside the shop. He started, made dash for the bas- ket containing the bombs, unlocked the door and rushed out.
 "Halt!" ordered the sheriff.
 We arrest you-' began Wilson.
 But over in the mud he went, for Dixon had given him a vigorous push. He evaded the sheriff, who was bulky and clumsy. Down the street dashed Dixon, guided by a growing glow He turned a corner, to come in sight of the big works, which belonged to the father of Edna Rolfe.
 A crowd had already gathered. The office building was ablaze, and the main structure had caught in two places.
 Stand aside!" ordered Dixon, and, basket in hand, ran up close to the cracking flames He selected a bomb aimed, let it drive.
 Crash! It struck a spot squirting flames in the roof-the blaze subsided.
 Again and again he fired his glass globe ammunition. Whenever the brittle globes landed, they seemed to smother the flames like wet salt.
 By the time the superannuated fire apparatus of the town arrived, the blaze had been eXtinguiShed.
 "Hurrah" yelled the delighted crowd.
 Whats this?" challenged the sher- if, who. had reached the scene and stood glaring down at several globes still remaining in the basket.
 "Oh, only patent fire extinguisher I've been experimenting on,' explained the young professor.
 And he smiled quietly, for his inven tion had proven it's own success; he had saved the property of the girl he loved, and he thought tenderly of Edna as he turned away from the dis comfited sleuth, James Wilson.

If possible, set the box where 1t will have bottom heat for three or four days, and be sure to keep moist, when, if your seeds were fresh, you will find the rows all cracked open and the green seed leaves peeking out.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The Tex

ed the efforts OF the United States to
force peace conference in Mexico.
Despite ELUSIVE denials by Carranza
and his generals, all information reach
ing the war department shows that
the majority OF the raiding band, now
on Texas soil are Carranza soldiers.
General Funston has claimed that Car
ranza's border generals knew of and

The pressure still continues on Car
rama and his generals, but President
Wilson, it is reported, has about de-
cided that the provisional president,
who will be selected at the peace con-
ference, will have to fight Carranza to
finish
In consequence, the American influ-
ence will be exerted to have as many
state governors as possible approve
the peace plan backed by this govern
ment and Latin-America.
The troops now patrolling the Next
can border and the Texas officials are
reported here to be using drastic meas
ures in dealing with the Mexican raid
ers. Arrests are made only when
