MADSEN FOR Reptile Social
lists of the 23d senatorial district
have again nominated Christian M.
Madsen as a candidate for state rep
resentative. This is the same Mad
sen who as a member Of the COM
mittee on education of the Illinois
legislature fought and succeeded in
frustrating the Cooley bill, the bill
which would have educated the poor
to toll and the rich to exploit.
This is the same Madsen who on

sen who has been a credit to the peO-
pie of Illinois and to labor in par

service in the legislature stood
staunchly and uncOmprOmisingly on
the side of the poor and against ex-
pIOiters; on the side of right against
wrong.
I am happy to have the good for
tune of residing in a district over

is from this district that Vim. E. Rod

MODERN THOUGHT. - In this
age Of science and invention, an age
in which man has stolen more Sc
CTets from mother nature than in
any preceding period in human his

defending war on the ground that it
is a necessary evil.
They are still under the influence
of the old, WORKOUT Malthusian the

since that time we have acquired a
knowledge of chemistry that en-
ables US to overcome the inClemency
of the weather in such a way as to
harness it to our need and make it
sUbserve us.
War was inevitable in the tribal
stage of human development. Man
knew not how to yield from the
womb of mother nature her bound

PEELED to develop his tigerish nature
and fight with his brother for life
and existence.
The law of the survival of the fit

today man is mentally and morally
different than he was in his initial
stages of knowledge and experience.
His soul seeks the companionship Of
his feIlowmen. He is becoming more
and more his normal self.

HANDLE TREES WITH CARE
BY w. r. GILBERT.

To my mind, there is not half enough
attention paid to the way trees are
put into the hole when planting. Some
people think that because trees have
roots they should grow nearly on top
of every ditch in the country
For ten years / planted trees yearly.
Half the trees planted the first year
failed because l didn't know how to
plant properly. l said to myself there
was something wrong somewhere,
either in the trees or in my want of
knowing how to plant.
l experimental a couple of years
and found out the secret of my failure.
Half of the young trees are nearly use
less for planting, on account Of the
way that they are pulled at the
nurseries.
Some men, when they go pulling
trees in the nurseries, pull away just
as though they were pulling turnips in
a hurry, slapping the roots together
and throwing them away as if they
were no more than rotten limbs.
Young trees, to my mind, should be
handled as carefully as eggs. They
should be dug out Of the ground.
When the roots are strained in the
pulling they grow the first year badly
and then die away. | examined the
roots of dozen young trees; there
were two strained, and cut the roots
short in two more, for experiment. S

FLOWER HINTS FOR BEGINNER
BY E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Flowers should have a friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow. Often
they will make fine showing in very
poor soil, but like humans they ap'
preciate good care.
Do not allow the flowers to form
seeds. AS soon as the flowers begin
% fade, pinch them off; your flowers
will keep in bloom much longer and
he blooms will be larger if you pay
attention to this little detail Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
ooking after
Use your flowers in borders and
round the sides of your lawn. Never
make flower beds in the center of
Jour lawn. A bit of green turf well
cared for is an asset to any home
grounds.
If you want soft, thick turf on
your lawn NOW it often and let the
clippings lie where they fall This
keeps the soil from drying out too
much and helps fertilize it as it de-
Jays.
Support sweet peas on a hedge of
prush. This Is better than poultry
letting, as the sun does not heat it
and burn the tender tendris of the
clinging sweet pea.
Plant your shade trees far enough
away from the house to allow the air
to circulate around the house. Sun
shine in the home is a tonic and care
should be exercised when planting
that trees do not interfere or shade the
windows too much.
Do not plant your flowers too close
.ogether. Give them all chance for
life. Pansies should be planted ten
inches apart; Petunias and Verbenas
1t least Is inches apart Marigolds,
two feet; Popries, 10 inches; Zinnias,
is inches, and Phiox, a foot Flow
ers will not be plentiful or thrifty If
grown too close together.

you must plant the seeds in August.
Prepare the seed bed carefully, and
sprinkle the dustlike seeds on the sur
face of the soil. Then cover with a
piece of glass, which remove careful
ly as the seedlings appear Water
carefully and keep growing rapidly
If you have never seen the snap
dragon Of the present day and want
spikes of beauty foot long to glad
den you, SOW seeds of the improved
snapdragon.
When making your cuttings of
geraniums and the like, keep the slips
damp until well rooted. then pot.
Keep all buds pinched off. The ole
ander will root quickly if slips are
cut three or four inches long, put in a
bottle of water and hung in a shady
place.

The ones that were not strained
grew healthy from the start and are
growing well. The ones that were
strained grew nearly right the first
year and died the second year, and
the ones that | cut little of the roots
off lived in decline"
The roots, when planting, should be
spread out evenly in broad hole, not
deep, the roots just barely covered.
Where some, or most people, perhaps,
make the mistake is in sticking the
roots in bundle in deep hole.
Trees planted in this fashion are
bound to fail At least il has been my
experience.
Some people give the trees pull
up after planting. With this method
| don't agree. There is no need of
any more handling.
1t is important to press the roots,
secondly, say after a month, because
if the air gets down alongside the
stem the tree is liable to fall.
| have found always that the fall
was the best time for planting. When
they were put in later had more fail
ures.
Another thing | noticed in planting,
if the young trees are any length of
time pulled, they are pretty sure to
"go under"
| always steep the roots in hole of
soft water the day before planting, and
have found them to grow and take
root more quickly than if they had not
been STEPPED.

WHY WOMEN

Women who are well often ask care

Medicine Co. are continually publishing,

"Why do women write such letters Z"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink

they haven't much interest in the Eu-

the fight. That is all Tom is vitality
interested in, though he offers to
contribute to a fund to alleviate hui

He doesn't care where this $4,000

81 WILL" SAYS TOM JONES
BY Mark Shields
The prize (Mex.) fight between
Jess Willard and George Carpenter,
in which Anne Morgan, Tex Richard
and Tom Jones are interested, is not

pentier, according to Paris advices,
has not been approached, but Miss
Elizabeth Marbury, prominent in
French relief work, has been author
lied to act for him in New York.
Go right ahead. This is the sport
page.
In order for the French relief COM
mittee to get $4,000, Carpenter to
get his expenses, and Willard and
Jones to draw in the neighborhood
of $4,000, the long-suffering public
would have to put up wealthy prices
for seats at this ten-rOund affair,
which means 80 minutes Of actual
appearance in the ring for each man.
Whether they will fight all that time
is something else again.
But the patient public need have
no fear. Tom Jones stands as q bull

is all bet up for fear the fight fans
may be stung on this affair, and he

He isn't going to let Tex Richard

Not at all. Tom won't let Jess en-

One Good Punch at That
Villain Would Be Real
Treat, Says Freddie Film

when we saw Sinclair in the flesh,
a cunning devil with a fiendish
disregard for right and wrong, as
he was visualized in the bis
Apollo picture last night, We felt
that it would be a privilege to
punch that Tearing grin Off the
crooks mean mouth. The man
who enacted the role of Sinclair
takes the palm as the most de-
spicable villain we ever saw.
whispering Smith is detec-
tive who routs out the wreck
master and his crew of thieves.
The picture shows actual collis-
ions between trains; a train rolls
down a steep incline, pinning a
brake-beam tramp underneath a
car; thieves steal herd of cattle
numbering thousands; a huge
railroad bridge Is burned down
everything is done on a mammoth
and pricely scale.
And the love story that is work.
ed into the melodrama is a touch
ing one. Helen Holmes, as the
suffering wife of Sinclair, has a
difficult role, but one that brings
her the complete sympathy Of
every spectator.
Whispering Smith" is the
greatest drama of it's day.
