LATE SUMMER WORK NOTES
nv &. vAN RENrHuYsEN.


Watch. the tender greenhouse plants
that are In the open and take them up
before the last days Of summer have
passed.
Have the pots ready for the bulbs
which must be taken up soon.
Insects viii now begin to attack the
scarlet runner and other flowers of
that nature and they must be watched
carefully.
The dahllas, gladioli and other rank
growing plants are likely to be blown
down by the wind and should be
staked.
Unless chrysanthemums are shaded
during the hot month of August they
win be injured by the sun.
Drench the ground around the tea
roses, but do not spray the bushes
Roses Of nll kinds should be thor
oughly manured with well-rotted COW
manure and mulched with lawn cut
tings and leaves!
Liquid manure should be applied
only when the ground is moist enough
to absorb II.
II is fatal to some plants to fertilize
them with rich manures when the
ground is very dry.
Never allow roses to remain on the
bush when the petals begin to fall.
All plants that are intended for win
ter bloomers should have the buds
pinched off now.
Pick pansies and nasturtiums every
day II you want to have plenty of
blooms.
When the lilacs have finished bloom
ing. all the seed clusters should be
cut away. If the seed is allowed to
develop on the lilac it generally has
few flowers in every other year.
The best way to kill weeds now is
to pull them up by hand.
The redbug and other enemies of the
rose. II not killed off last month should
be effectually removed now. An ex-
oellent spray for rose bushes is made
of one-half pound of laundry soap
melted In hot water to which is added
one cupful of kerosene. When this
comes to a boil, use about one part to
fifteen parts Of water.
Scrape up road dust and apply about
the roots of your plants during the hot
weather and keep the moisture in the
soil. Lawn clippings make an excel
lent mulch for the larger plants and
shrubs.
Save the grass clippings from the
lawn to serve as a mulch for the bee

tions and the paneling, the treatment
of doors and windows and the simple
furnishing which leaves the interior
unspoiled, there is one object, with no
esthetlc claims, which yet eclipses all
the others-the Liberty Bell, which
rang out the glad tidings that the Con-
tinental congress had dared to sign the
Declaration of Independence. Parents
bring their children to gaze upon it
and to tell them the story of how 1t
was cast in England but cracked in
landing, so that it had to be recast in
Philadelphia, when the inscription
proclaim liberty throughout the land
to all the people thereof" was inscribed
upon it.
When the British occupied Philadel-
phia in those dark days of the war
the old bell was sunk in the Delaware,
but it was brought back and hung in
it's old place to proclaim liberty to
the citizens of Philadelphia on many
FOurths. 1t was broken when tollfng
for the funeral of the great Chief JUS
tice Marshall in 1885.

Robins Travel by Train.

When a boXcar was pulled into this
city the other day for repairs it was
found that a robin had built her nest
under the car and had hatched three
young ones.
When the car was pushed on the
repair track the mother bird flew
around greatly excited and could not
be driven away. The men searched
the car and found the nest. They put
the nest in small box. cut a hole
in it and nailed it to a post.
The mother bird took possession i'm
mediately and is feeding her young
numerous times daily.-Vancouver

He OVERSIGHT.

An Ohio street florist was spurred
to unusual activity few evenings
ago when at about dosing time an
important young man called and gave
an order for an elaborate bouquet.
The young man was very particular,
and said the bouquet must be ready
by a. M, next day, as he was to
be married at 7:30 a. m, and the
flowers were a necessary part of the
ceremony.
"Now be sure to have the flowers
ready at a. m. will call for them,"
were his parting words.
The florist got TO his store half an
hour earlier than usual next morn
ing and had the bouquet ready in the
ice box at a. m. The young man
did not arrive at the appointed hour.
AT exactly S:45 o'clock, the customer
rushed in painting and out of breath.
"For lands sake, give me the bou-
quet quick" he gasped, 81 oversight"

MONEY IN COTTAGE GARDENS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

When lived in the country we used
to send scores of nosegays to market,
priced from five to ten cents. We
could not supply them fast enough,
and If people cared to grow common
flowers or pot plants and sell them
outside railway station, for instance,
they could do well with them now.
Make your own leaf mold. When
sod Is removed from the ground for
any purpose, shake out the fine soil
that adheres to it for future use, or
slice Off the fine roots with a sharp
knife just below the crown of the
grass.
This is known as fibrous loan and
in combination with leaf mold, old
manure and fine sharp sand makes the
very best potting soil.
Throw the top of the sods in heap
In some out-of-the-way corner, and add
the rakings of the yard in fall and
spring. all weeds pulled during the
summer, all refuse of vegetables, pota-
ito parings. apple peelings, corn husks

taale matter ana wifi Decay.
a.. dishwater and slops that are not
needed on the garden should be thrown
on the pile, which should be turned Oc-
casionally during the winter.
BY the following spring you will
have the finest kind Of leaf mold.
Not all the pile will have decayed,
but along the edges and underneath 1t
will be found ready for use.
Add to 1t every bit Of available veg
etable matter during the year, includ-
ing the annual flowers pulled up after
their season of bloom. Add tops of
such root plants as cannas, caladiums,
gladioli, and you will soon have sup
ply quite adequate to the needs of the
ordinary garden.
Where there are waterworks the
hose may be turned on frequently to
hasten composition.
If it is impossible to replace all poor
soil in the garden with better, by the
addition of leaf mold and manure
much may be accomplished in the way
of building up and rendering it suit

When City Is Surrounded.

Article IS of General Orders No. 100,
United States Rules of War, reads as
follows: "When the commander of q
besieged place expels the noncombat-
ants in order to lessen the number of
those who consume his stock of pro-
visions, it is lawful, though an extreme
measure, to drive them back, so as to
hasten surrender.
"There is no obligation imposed,
either by the conventional rules of the
unwritten laws of war, in case of siege
or bombardment, to allow private citi-
zens or women or children to leave
a besiegad town, even when a bonn
bardment ia about to begin."-Stock-

Hardsl,ips Come First.

Lucky" Baldwin was one of the
well-known characters on the Pacific
coast up to a few years ago, when he
died. His case is contradictory in
way, as his "luck" came only after
such struggles and hardships as few
men go through. AS prospector he
was near death many times and lived
in desperate poverty for the greater
part of his life. Then he made strike
in prospecting which left him fabulous
Iy wealthy. His sobriquet of Lucky"
is decided misnomer here, especially
as family troubles and litigation en-
bittered his last years.
In glancing over the list of those
who control the largest fortunes in
this country, it is often impossible to
realize how it comes that men of such
varying qualities attain success.
Where does this success come from
anyway? Is it foresightness, is il
strength of character, force of person
ality?
Or is it quality called luck?

USE FOR HOUSE SL0PS

Any house slops that are free from
grease or acids may be poured around
the roots of plants to their advantage,
pushing aside the mulch for this pur-
pose and replacing when done.
Water the ground literally, always
watering in the evening. Or, have a
rubbish corner in which to dump every
thing that will make plant food, and
pour the house slops-all kinds-on
it, forxing it over occasionally, and let
ting it decay.
Add to the heap any sward from
the roadside, peelings and parings from

Clear away the soil about the shrubs,

a good coating. Rake it in lightly and
the spring rains will do the rest.

~ nor the work of one man or as
sembly, according to George
Bancroft in his History of the United
States" and the declaration which was
made July 4, ,1776. was the climax of
a long series of deliberations.
In the building which had been
erected as a state house for the use
of the colony of Pennsylvania in 1875
the Continental congress had sat dis
cussing the vital matters pertaining to
the prosperity of the colonies, says a
writer in the New York Herald. Here,
on motion of John Adams, George
Washington had been placed in COM
mand of the American army, and here,
on the most eventful day of all, the
great declaration of rights and inten-
tions was presented by Thomas JEFF
ferson, signed by the men whose names
are inscribed high in the rolls of Amer
lean history and read from the steps
of the famous building to the crowd
waiting outside. Here, too, the Con-
stitution of the United States was
adopted.
Most Americans are familiar with
the present external appearance of
this Cradle of Liberty" few know so
much about its interior, which is nobly
inspiring.
The land for the building was pur-
chased in 1730 and a committee was
appointed to carry on the building
operations, one of the members being
DR.. John Kearsley, who had been so
successful with the building of Christ
church.
independence Hall First Built.
The first portion to be finished was
Independence hall, room 80 by 40
feet and almost 20 feet high. The
work dragged. aKd when the legisla-
ture was ready to occupy it the south
wall was unfinished and there was no
! glass in the windows. The room was
! not really finished until 1745. The
next part of the building to be com
pleted was the judicial chamber, of
the same size as independence hall,
and separated from it by three arches.
The tower was built in 1850, the
steeple being added in 1853. After
the revolution there was considerable
dissatisfaction with the wooden steeple
and it was finally declared to be dan
gerous and was taken down. In 1919
the wings were altered to provide a
greater amount of space which was
needed by the county commissioners
and in 1918 the entire property was
purchased by the city of Philadelphia
A few years later a survey was
made of the tower to determine wheth
er new bell could be mounted upor
it. All of the walls were found to bt
thick and stanch except for a sligh
crack in the wall over the arch of the
large Palladian window, probably due
to the great width of the window
opening and its arch. This was no
considered serious objection, how
ever, to putting up cupola similar
to the original. A bell weighing 4,60t
pounds was placed in the tower and
beginning with December, 1928, strucl
the hours by means of a new sort O
the tower in 1876.
Not Injured by Restorations.
Whatever changes or restoration
have been made, the spirit of the oil,
architects and builders has been re
sDected and today, as in Colonial days
the state house typifies the refine
simplicity and sincerity which ha
been left as a precious legacy. Arch
tects take their lessons from it, an
patriots take theirs.
