TO ACQUAINT WOMEN
WITH RESCUE WORK
Auxiliary to Salvation Army
Home Holds Reception Fri
day Afternoon

AT the reception. Friday afternoon,
given by the Women's auxiliary 10
the rescue work or the Salvation Army
in the home at No. S96 Fort-st. west,
IL is expected that q more definite
understanding of the policy of the
work and its future activities VIII be
arrived at
The fact that SO many OF the prom
inent women of this city have lately
taken an interest In this well-estaD'
lished work, is very gratifying 10 the
workers. For n>arly 70 years the
work has been carried ON in Detroit
without very much encouragement
being given by the women OF the city,
although one reason for this was that
there was no well-defned plan upon
which they could work with the OF
ficers.
The organization of the Woman's
auxiliary during the past year ana It's
rapid growth indicates how quickly
the women OF Detroit will get behind
any worthy movement for the better
ment of the unfortunate. The Friday
reception will enable the women TO
come into closer relations with the
Salvation Army Rescue home and see
for themselves the workings OF the
place.
A feature OF the work carried on
for women in this institution Is The
manner they are followed mp after
they are discharged from the home,
and this feature alone has enabled
many wayward girl TO keep going
right. as she is made TO feel that she
has friends and helping hand near.
Mrs. r. IL. Ashbaugh. president OF.
the auxiliary, will preside at the re
ception, and an interesting program
has been prepared. A cordial invita-
ton TO all the women OF the city is
extended

CARING FOR THE ROSES
BY sBEN e. REXFORO.

Shower, spray dip, wash, scrub; do
any and all these things to keep down
the insect enemies. Don't let bugs
pasture on your plants.
There are several methods of pro-
tecting roses at the north. One is to
draw the bush together into as email
a space as possible, and wind it with
straw.
This is very good method when
the work is we'll done, but, unfortu-
nately, few persons are able to do it
well, therefore | advise that 1t be
not done by an amateur.
One objection that can be urged
against 1t, even when the work Is done
TO perfection, is that the straw is like
ly to attract the attention Of mice, and
II they make 1t their nesting place,
they are pretty sure to gnaw all the
bark off the bushes.
All things considered, laying the
plants down fiat on the ground and

for the amateur to follow. 1t Is cer-
tainly the easiest one.
The bushes should not be laid down

to set In. have known great injury
done by covering them too early in
the season.
If the bushes are old, and have stiff
canes, it will be difficult matter to
bend them fiat without breaking, or,
at least, cracking them. To facilitate
this part of the work, and make it
possible to do 1t safely, would advise
digging out some Of the soil on the
side of the plant toward which 1t is
to be bent. This will allow you to tip
the bush over without making any
abrupt bends In it,

Fire OF unknown origin destroyed
the commissary and warehouse be-
longing TO the BOdcaw Lumber Com
pany causing a loss OF more tnan
$l50,00O. The company carried about
100000 insurance on the buildings
and contents.
The night watchman. who was in
the commissary building, heard a
cracking noise in the adjoining ware
house lust across railroad siding.
When he reached the warehouse II
was almost enveloped in flames, Be-
fore he could arouse the community
the flames had spread to the commits
saTy.
William Buchanan, Texarkana, pres.
ident of the Bodcaw Lumber Com
pany, does not believe the fire was Of
incendiary origin. The warehouse
was used for storing Commissary sup
plies. He believes the blaze origi
mated from a spontaneous combus'
tion. In the east end of the build
ing, where the blaze started, a great
quantity of articles was closely stored.
Mr. Buchanan says the company
will begin at once to rebuild The
one-story frame structures will prob
ably be replaced with up-to-date brick

After resisting many attempts, the
great gas well of the Clear Creek OIL

and brought under control.
The flow of this well has steadily
increased until the lowest estimate by
oil experts is 2O,OOO,OOO feet, and
many of them say 25,O00,0OO feet. Oil
men from all parts OF the country are
fioCking here, as the we'll is only

running directly to it. Some of these
oil men are buying property, while
others are looking for leases.
Considerable Alma property has
changed hands. DR.. l.. c. Berneys of
Little Rock has bought Main street
property and will erect a handsome
business building at once. The state
geologist went over the property of

officers, locating two more wells,

1t is expected a well will be located
north of the present well, and near
the Alma city limits. These wells are
being located for oil. Gas was ex-
