NOTES ON BLOOMING THINGS
BY ELIZABETH VAN sENTHuYsEN.

If you want to encourage blooming
In your hybrid and tea roses, cut back
to a well-developed bud at the juncture
Of leaf and stem when cutting of the
rose.
II Is not generally known that If a
spray Of gladiolus is cut when the first
flower appears, or rather opens, and
placed in water 1t will bloom just as
wen as II on the stalk.
Poppies are short-lived after being
cut, and. therefore are unsatisfactory
for decoration. However, II every
bloom Is cut In the evening and thrown
away, those flowers that open next
morning will last two or three days
If they are plunged In water up to
their necks for an hour or two. After
a thorough soaking they can be used In
vases, and their beauty will charm for
two or three days.
The sweet peas, like every flower
that blows, demands a daily stripping
Of every bloom. Producing seeds is
done at the expense of blooms. How
ever, flowers should be cut with sharp
shears, never torn from the plant.
Never cut the flowers of the wax
plant unless you wish no further
blooms. Its flowers are produced in
exactly the same "eye" each time, and
If this eye is removed no more flowers
win develop.
Weak liquid manure Is just the stim
ulant most flowers need when they
bloom. Do not stint them in this re
spect.
Another aid to the profusion of flow
ers is plenty Of water.
The dust mulch In time Of drought is
beneficial when water is scarce.
No matter what the calendar says
30 not plant your tube roses out Of
doors too early In the spring.
Protect the toad. He is the garden
er's friend.
Mulch sweet peas by sowing seeds
Of any of the low-growing ANIMALS
along the pea trenches and thereby
extend their blooming season.
Do not try to grow flowers or vege
tables too thickly on the ground. ThiI
out with liberal hand, and give eacl
sufficient space to develop naturally.
If the lawn shows bald spots, o.
looks shabby, scatter about guano be
fore a shower.

Pair of Shutters.

A man holidaying in the Highlands
of Scotland was engaged one night in
writing a letter in a humble abode,
where he had obtained accommOda-
ton. The fluttering candles annoyed
him and he called out:
''Mrs. Mcpherson, can you give me a
pair of snuffers?"
"a pair of snuffers?" repeated Mrs.
Mcpherson, somewhat bewildered.
"Weel, I'll dae my best"
In a few minutes there was a COM
motion outside. Two stalwart figures
shuff1ed in, followed by Mrs. McPher-
son.
"This is Donald McDougaIl," she
said, l"and this is Dugall Mcdonald. l
dinna ken what ye want VII them; but
I'm thfnkin' the two O. them TAX mair
snuff than any ither twa in the parish

ABOUT TREE PLANTING.
BY LIMA R. ROSE.

Evergreen trees may be planted sew
sral weeks later than declduous trees,
but as a rule the earlier the work is
lone the better.
Keep the roots Of the trees and
shrubs covered with earth or damp
moss until the moment they are to be
put into the ground. If not ready for
planting when the stock is received,
take them from the box or bundle and
heel them In. This will keep the roots
from drying, and the labels should be
arranged so that any particular tree
can be selected as wanted.
Heellng-in consists of digging a
trench, say foot deep and two feet
wide, In any convenient spot in the
garden. The roots of the trees are set
In the trench and the earth sprinkled
over them so that all the roots will be
covered, firming the soil by treadlng
with the feet.

PHLoX FOR GREENHOUSE.

Perennial phlox makes splendid pot
plants for the greenhouse when
treated after the manner of chrysan-
themums. Make cuttings as soon as
the shoots are about two inches long.
Root them in small pots, moving them
along into six-inch pots and when they
are filed with roots feed with liquid
manure.
For potting soil use good loan two
parts and well-rotted manure one part.
Grow the plants outside, with the pots
plunged to the rim in earth.
Water literally throughout the sum-
mer and only put them in the green
house to finish.

Weary Work.

A system of education that pro-
duces the tired teacher is false one.
Teaching rightfully done is pleasure
and a recreation. But even then it is
made a weary business if burdened by
reports and statistics. There is nc
need of statistics if the teaching is
done along the line of evolution and
growth. OF course, if it is merely 4
professional frame-up-that is differ
ent. Supervision is all right if it does
not depend upon too much meaning
less statistics. The best, supervision
is where personality is on the jog
and personality regards as of small
import grade sheets and reports. In
practice it is the other way, and the
other way demands a revocation.

of culture not to pronounce judgment
upon questions with which he is not
conversant. Good taste prescribes
that just as one refuses to wear false
jewels if one possesses no real ones, so
one should refrain from pronouncing
Judgment upon persons or questions
upon which one has not formed an
opinion through ones own impressions.
When this honesty begins to be con-
sidered mark of spiritual refinement,
then will the culture of woman (for
instance) have made quite as great
advance as when she learned to read
Ellen Key.

Time for Haste

A little five-year-old McCordsville
miss has stepfather of whom she
is very fond. One day the stepfather
suffered from violent headache, and
his wife went to the kitchen to pre-
pare some domestic remedy. Lillian
waited quietly for some time for her
mother to return and relieve the suf-
ferer. Losing patience, she went to
the kitchen door and energetically
called out: Mamma, if you don t
hurry up you're going to have another

WILSON UPHOLDS
DEFENSE PLANS
Favors Military Training and
Says Mind Is TO Let on
military Service" Idea.
ARGUES PREPAREDNESS

President Wilson delivered an address
at the White House yesterday in which
he emphasized the need for adequate
preparedness by the United States against
the possible time of trouble. He made
a distinction between military service"
and military training" declaring that
It Is not inconsistent with American ira
ditlon that everybody should know how
TO shoot and take care Of himself" The
President expressed the opinion that in
the Anal analysis the peace of society is
obtained by force.
The President made this address on
preparedness to a committee of the Amer
lean Union composed OF Miss Lillian D.
Wald, Rabbi Stephen A. Wise, Amos
R. E. Pinchot, Hebert S. Bigelow, Max
Eastman, DR.. A. A. Berle and President
Maurer, Of the Pennsylvania State Fed.
Grafton of Labor. The affair was ex-
tremely informal, and through the In
dulgence Of the President, resulted in
a lively debate between Mr.. Wilson and
his callers. The exchanges were report
ed and a transcript given to the public.
Oppose Preparedness.
Members of the union has Just COM
pleted a tour of the country, and brought
the report to the President that the
people as a rule are opposed to mill
tarism"- as exemplifed in the prepared
ness bill. The President was told further
that "the country is facing shrewd
propaganda in favor of compulsory mill
tsry service" that he was represented
as demanding the greatest navy in the
world" and he was asked "at this
crisis, to clarity the discussion and make
articulate the fundamental principles of
the country" .....
President Wilson was asked the direct
question whether he favored "com-
pulsory military service"
II did not say believed in it." replied
the President. ITO use the phrase of
a. friend of mine, my mind is to let on
the subject. I would say merely that
that was not contrary to American tradi-
ton" .T.. ...a
II was suggested by one of the dele
gates that possibly the President did
not know the mind of the country on
the question of preparedness. IT want
to say this said the President "I do
not think have been deceived about the
mind OF the country. I have never dream
ed for moment that America as a
whole, its rank and file, had got any
military enthusiasm or militaristic spirit,
and think that Il Is very necessary, in
order that we should work this thing
out wisely. that we should carefully dis
crtminate between reasonable prepara-
ton and militarism."

the last three classes on the program,
but these will be added to today's pro-
gram, which will commence at o'clock
this afternoon.
Yesterdays "bilr' offered a good as
sortment of harness and saddle horses,
with features in both departments. Keen
competition between both horses and
stables, was found in harness and saddle
events, and the hunting classes presented
the best sport in this department Of the
show to date.

rivalry between her stables in the har-
ness classes and those Of Judge Moore,
Mr.. Bushnell and Mr.. Lieber, and Miss
Vauclain bad nothing to apologize for in
her showing. In addition. her saddle en-

The Importance of Skin
Care in the Springtime

Infectious skin diseases are irritat-
ing. unpleasant, unsightly and dan
gerous. There never was a greater
mistake made than trying to cure such
disorders with pastes. lotions or
creams, rubbed on the outside. You
can't cure skin diseases that way, be-
cause they are the direct result of in
fected blood, and you can't rub or
soak poisons out of the blood.
The annoyances of skin troubles are
worse in spring than any other time.
The persplration that starts with the
first warm days intensifies the smart
Ing, burning sensation, and makes the
trouble almost unbearable. There is
only one way to relieve them, and that
Is through the blood. which must be
thoroughly cleansed and purified. There
Is only one remedy that you can rely
