CITY COUNCIL MEETS

The town dads met in regular
session last Monday with Mayor
Haberstroh in the chair, a full
membership being present. 1t
was the last meeting of the old
board. and was more like a love
feast than a session of the city
solons.
After allowing the usual grist
of bills, the first payment of $500
was made on the new S225O
furnace. Mr.. Mason of the Econ
omylFurnace Co. being present
and agreeing to waive the salary
and expenses of the crew sent
here several weeks ago to re-
build the furnace foundations.
Clerk Demaray reported the
towns exchequer as being in AL
condition, as will be shown by
his report in another column.
The gross income from the
water and light plant for March
was 81, 184. 13 with a balance of
over $500 to be collected.
1t was the sense of the meet
ing that an inventory of all the
towns property be taken and that
each committeeman be held re-
sponsible for the acts of employees
underneath him. Whereupon
the meeting adjourned.

SOME TRIED HINTS

When the hanging basket looks
shabby, or is at a standstill, it prob.
ably has been neglected as regards
water. Remember it is wholly sur
rounded by air, and requires more wa
ter than the potted plants.
Plants will not flourish if they must
breathe gas generated by coal or wood
in stove or furnace, or escaping illu-
minating gas. Stop the leaking gas.
and give ventilation by raising and
lowering window at some distance
from the plants, so that the air may
get warm before it strikes the flowers.
Liquid manure is valuable when it
is used with caution and good sense
Do not make it too strong and thus
injure the plants, and do not give it
to the plants that are not growing,
or that are taking their annual rest.
Turn the window plants often
enough to keep them from getting one
sided
Fuchsias like some shade and plenty
of moisture, just like the pansy.
If plant appears sick examine its
roots. Perhaps you will find that it
needs reporting. If dead or rotten
leaves are found, remove them.

ReWardinQ italian Soldiers,

A salary scheme is being worked
out in Italy, which promises to have
good results. Salaries will be paid by
employers to their employees, who are
on active service the continuation of
which will be regulated according to
the number of years of previous serv-
ice. The first clause provides for the
reinstatement in their former posi-
tons of all employees having served
for at least one year with the firm
for which they were working at the
entrance of Italy into the war. The
clauses relating to salaries during the
war are as follows: All workingmen
with the colOrs who have been with
firm for at least five years are en-
titled to third of their usual SAL
aries during the continuation of the
war. This applies to married men
with families. In all other cases the
employers shall pay the men at the
rate of quarter of their former SAL
aries. Men with ten years service to
their credit will receive, if married,
with families, one-half of their sal
aries, and if not married a third. The
decree only applies to firms employing
at least three wOrkmen.

ROMANCE SEEN FROM SADDLE
GaIIoping Hoofs Constitute an Eternal
Challenge to the Spirit
of Youth.

Romance likes to come on horse
back; the jingling spurs and bride
irons chant a happy pean in his ears,
and from the saddle, as from the
throne, he looks out over the workad ay
world, says a writer in Scribner's
Magazine.
Romance always has been linked
with riding; in the playroom mounted
on gallant rocking chair youth rides
into land of golden deeds; later he
swings in long gallops on the faithful
hobbyhorse into spicy and fugitive adj
venture. To the page on prancing
palfrey and to the cavalryman in
khaki the lure of romance is the same;
the rhythm of galloping hoofs thuds
always in the imagination, the iady's
favor on the lance and the quivering
scarlet guidon futter alike mysteri-
Gus and eternal challenge to the spirit
of youth. ITO horse and away" and
all the worlds before one.
Stevenson always wanted to write
story about man galloping up TO an
inn at night, and the very suggestion
brings a Jingle to the Imagination:
By on the highway low and loud,
By at the gallop goes he.
He heard him in the sleepless mid
nights Of his childhood; and, indeed,
the sound of thudding hoofs always
makes the heart beat faster. The So
cable gathering of a single fOoter on
asphalt, the cracking of twigs and
leaves on the quiet autumn trails the
muffied rhythm of canter on the turf,
its resonance on a bridge-all these
make music in the ears and bring the
very smell of adventure. To him who
rides there is always something lost
behind the ranges"-and his heart
yearns for it.

ABOUT BULB PLANTING
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.

When should bulbs be planted? is a
question often asked. Bulbs should be
put into the ground as soon as they
Is generally in September or October.
The impression prevails to a large
extent that bulbs can be planted any
time during the fall. That is, that it
Is safe to put them out any. time be-
fore the ground freezes.
This is a mistake which grows out
of q lack of knowledge of the plants
habits.
bulb makes an annual growth of
roots during the fall. These are the
roots which support it next spring
while it is blooming.
Unless this root-growth is COM
pleted in the fall it will give crop
of inferior flowers as the incomplete
work of autumn will be taken up where
it was interrupted by cold weather
And carried on to completion While the
plant is trying to produce a crop of
flowers.
This makes it attempt to do double
duty on slender stock of vitality.
Late planted bulbs, therefore, should
always give US inferior flowers, and
often none at all.
This explains why it is advisable to
plant bulbs as early in the fall as pos
sible. Give them ample time to de-
velop their roots before cold weather
puts an end to the work of the season
If you want them to give you the
flowers next spring.

WORK WITH SICK PLANTS

Christmas cactus needs but little
root room and the soil should be por-
Gus, rather sandy with good drainage.
It is liable to lose it's roots if kept too
wet.
Watering a cactus too freely some
times causes it to rot off at the base.
Take the plant off, cut away the de-
cayed part with a sharp knife, let it
dry q few hours, then insert a half
out new roots. 1t can then be re-
potted.
Cactuses, as a rule, are injured by
too free watering during winter.
If your plants get broken, if 1t is
not entirely separated from the main
stalk, straighten it back into position
carefully and wind a narrow strip of
cloth around the break, as you would
bandage q broke limb. Leave one end
of the strip long enough to fasten 10 a
slender stake set upright in the pot to
hold the plant. Wet the bandage thor
oughly every day and leave until you
are sure the break is healed.
Sometimes a good treatment of let
ting alone is the best thing that can
be given a discouraged or sulky plant.
Many things are killed by kindness Or
what is intended to be such.
Gas-heated rooms unless well yentil-
ated are bad for plants.
Keep the plants clean and whole
como DuSt and disease 90 together
Clogged drainage and too liberal Wa
tering will sour the soil, ruin the foli-
age or kill the plant.
Remember it is the weakened plant
that is the easy prey to disease and in
sects, owing to bad conditions.
A chilly temperature will cause be-
gonias TO drop their leaves when once
chilled it will take several weeks to re-
cover from it.

HOW TO USE A HOE

So many people have horror of
using a hoe 1t is the most comforta-
BILE implement to be found in the
equipment of a gardener or farmer.
1t is so handy to use for SO many pur-
poses that one cannot get along with
out it.
Probably one reason that people do
not like a hoe is that most hoes ex-
plain at once how dull as hoe" came
into proverbial use.
A dull hoe is certainly not pleasant
implement with which to work. The
good gardener will keep his favorite
hoe filed to a sharp edge all the time.
1t is impossible to grind a hoe on a
grindstone because the level must be
on the upper side Of the blade when
it is in use, in order to make the hoe
bite" into the soil.
File your hoe, making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness
of the blade. Then keep it bright,
and when you go out after weeds the
hoe slips through the soil so easily
that hoeing is not much like hard
work.
In hoeing, long, slow movement
should be made, if the soil is in good
condition. Simply "scuffing' half an
inch of the top soil is enough to kill
weeds, and one can go over lot o.
ground in one day if the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
In choosing a hoe, select one the
blade Of which lies not quite fat on
the floor when you are standing erect,
with the hoe handle extending from
.'our hands when in working position
to the floor. The heel of the hoe
should not quite touch the floor from
this position.
With a sharp hoe one can cut this
ties, dock, dandelions and other nox-
ious weeds with quickness, dispatch
and ease 1t is light to handle, easy
to use and more effective than any
other implement for many purposes.

kinq Coal and Peat.

Southern gas and power producers
are watching experiments being con-
Quoted in Sweden to determine the
value of the use of peat powder as fuel
for locomotives. A committee which
has conducted several practical tests
reports that the value of peat powder
as fuel is one-third greater than the
fuel value of coal. The cost Of peat
powder is estimated at $4.02 ton
compared with the price of coal $6.03
per ton. The committee has asked
in appropriation from the Swedish
government of S350O00 to be used to
erect peat powder factory, acquire
peat boys, and convert the locomotives
of one railway line into peat powder
burners There is an immense guam
tity of peat in the boys Of the South,
especially in Virginia and Florida.
Some firms have been mining the peat
and using it under boilers as fuel with
satisfactory results and at a cost far
below that of other fuel. 1t is also
pointed out that the raw peat, cheap
ly prepared, might be used in gas pro-
ducerS. The process to be used in
extracting the gas would be very sim
liar to the process used in the extrac-
ton gas from coal. 1t is thought
feasible to place gas works in the
peat districts and pipe the gas pro-
duced, without loss, for about % or 80
miles to gas engines where the power
could be converted into electricity for
traction purposeS.-War1 Street Jour

aeroplane, the submarine, dread
naught, electric lights, telegraph or

ty years ago when the automobile
came out, we did not have electric
lights, top wind shield, demountable
rims. electric starters, multiple cylin-
der, perfected springs and a hundred

it what it is today. 1t was nothing
more than four wheels and a single
cylinder engine, and box for body.

fected automobile of today. Those of
the better class adopt necessities, but
