ORCHARD AND GARDEN.


Is the spraying machinery in order?
1t will soon be time to use it.
Early ANNALS and vegetable seed
may be sown now and later trans
planted to cold frames.
Early sown celery may be trans
planted into flats as soon as large
enough to handle.
If the snow is settling down on the
perennial bed, it is a good plan to
loosen it as much as possible. A heavy
coating Of ice and snow over the
plants is apt to smother them.
To get good garden crop we must
have good seed, good soil and good
cultivation.
Plant few autumn bearing straw
berries for fruit this fall. Progressive
is a good variety.
Sow few nasturtiums, sweet peas

Votes for Women.

with the appearance here OF Mrs.
Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale, one
of the high priestesses of the votes
for women propaganda, another ele-
ment has teen injected into the COM
ing fall campaign, when West Vir-
ginia voters viii be asked to vote for
or against the amendment to the
State constitution granting equal suf-
frage to women, which means the
privilege to vote at all elections.
The question has been debated both
afhrmatively and negatively In many
of our States, and even In West Vir-
ginia most OF us are familiar with
the arguments of the advocates and
of the opponents.
Probably the best way, and surely
the easiest way, would be to vote In
favor of the amendment for, after
all, women generally get what they
want, not because their manifold
desires are always necessities, but
because we sterner persons are first
prone to dodge an argument, which
Is the line of least resistance, and
secondly because men naturally are
gallant.
nthe last analysis we feel that II
women have the right of suffrage,
conditions cannot be any worse-and
We don't believe they are SO bad
after all-and maybe the voices Of
those who hum the cradle song may
make the world a better place in
which to live. But we doubt that
the fair ones will be able to accom-
plish what mere man has striven to
attain. and II should not be forgot

uine reform and good Is not confined

Last year. when the up-and-

on the sartorial horizon, everyone
said at once:
"Ah! Awning stripes. to be sure"
Now come the round -and-round
stripes. And whence came the idea
but from the regimentals OF our lead

Mix a convict with a representa-

are that his erstwhile glaring stripes
will never be noticed. In fact. they
