PLANS FOR BEAUTY

When planning fer next years gar
den decide on roekery for the back
yard. There are many bulbs that are
excellent for rockeries. Scillas, which
are of a beautiful deep blue, do well
in the shade; spring snowflake, with
white flowers tipped with green. and
snOwdrops are excellent for rocker
cries.
Muscaria or grape hyacinth, GRO
cuSes of various colors, will thrive
and take care of themselves once eS-
tahlished In the rockeries or in Dor
ders in the garden, where they will not
be disturbed.
The beauty which Is near at hand
IS often neglected for the prize that
is denied us-we refer to the beauty
and desirability of the Celastrus. or
er found in our woods and along
fences, Is one of the most satisfactory
vines that can be grown about the
house.
The Gelastrus is US hardy as gran
lite, a quick grower, twining securely
about its support, aud it is not liable
to disease.
In the fall when flowers are scarce,
1t covers itself with clusters of orange
colored fruit, which the frost opens,
revealing It's crimson seeds.
Choose a dark, rainy day if posi-
BILE, for the transplanting, otherwise
do this work at sunset-we mean in
transplanting seedlings. Water the
Seedbed thoroughly n short time be-
fore you begin to transplant; then
lift the plants, with all the soil their
roots will hold, and remove to the
permanent bed.
Keep the seeding covered with n
, wet cloth, so that the heat and wind
will not dry them. With a sharp
pointed stick make the hole for the
plant and then fill II with water.
Plant the Seeding in this puddle,
drawing the dark soil about the stalk
when the ground has been firmed
about the plant as much as possible.
a miniature water garden is prac-
teal and will prove most interesting,
needing less attention than flower

Have sugar or vinegar barrel cut
in two, or use wooden tub. Sink

about twelve inches square and fill
with rich mud from pond. or use

STRIKE WAS AVERTED
Author Of Eight Hour Law Dis

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. - 1T
looks like they are sorry the strike
was averted,' said Congressman
Adamson, author of the eight-hour
law for railroad men, in discussing
lation in the house of representatives,
last week.
I'm the first place." he said, 1T is
That statement is gratuitous and in
considerate. The law fixes an eight
hour day. We had previously a 16-
hour day and nine-hour day. We
now have an eight-hour day. The only
reference to wages is in the language
used to hold in statu quo until the
workings of the eight-hour law could
be observed and all other features of
the service adjusted to the eight-hour
law. The language means and means
only that there shall be no changes
in the relations of the parties in any
effort of the railroads to recoup what
they assert to be an increase Of wages.
"The present threat of some rail-
road officials to resist the law and
refuse to put it into effect until forced
to do so by the courts is strangely in
consistent with the known position of
the railroad officials, often stated by
them and made in their replies to the
president, that they have no objection
to an increase of wages If they are
permitted to recoup for that by in
! creased charges on the public. They
| would no doubt welcome with avidity
| an increase of wages and expenses
and evidently favor it, because they
think that they could secI:e an in
crease of rate largely out Of "propor-
| ton to the increased expense.
Those gentlemen who see proper
! to resist the law until compelled by
| the courts will probably find the first
expression from the court in the
shape Of criminal warrant for fail
ure to comply with the law.
These gentlemen pretend that the
eight-hour law is unconstitutional
! The constitution charges congress
with the duty and invests it with the
power to regulate interstate com.
merce. Part of that regulation
should and does relate to the safety
of passengers. and property. This act
; like the 16 and nino-hcur laws, are

regulation of commerce. If any al

seems permeated with the thought
of the eight hour day; therefore, this
seems to be the psychological time
for every trade unionist to unite in
an effort to secure for the women
workers Of the nation this much need
ed condition. This also seems an
opportune time to carry on a campaign
for organization among the unorgan-

Because this conference is so i'm

gates to all these central bodies will
support this plea for delegates and
send two of their best women workers.

paper predicting the downfall Of this
republic" because congress made it
possible to avoid railroad strike, the
San Francisco Bulletin submits this
cold analysis:
IF there were, no minority in the
United States with more power to do
harm than the brotherhoods have,
there would be no reason to worry
about the fate of the republic. If
there were no minority in the United
States whose power to do harm was
not conditioned, as that of the rail-
road brotherhoods is by the habitual
performances of a valuable service,
there would still be no reason to
worry. But the railroad brotherhoods
are mere straws compared with the
powers which actually dominate the
railroads of the United States. Louis
