SUCCESS WITH COSMOS

Sow cosmos early If you wish to get
any satisfaction out Of it. Push it
along as fast as you can. It does not
transplant readily, therefore grow it In
pots. Shift it along until it is grow
ing in nine-inch pots. Then sink the
pot in q border and from the time
the plants are six inches high until
the end Of July the shoots should be
pinched out. This will keep the plants
low and stocky. Long after severe
frosts your cosmos will be giving you
your beautiful flowers for the window.

SPRING IN THE GARDEN
.ey e. VAN sENTHUYsEN.

Just as soon as the lilac and other
spring Towering shrubs have done
blooming, prune them. Cut back to a
strong eye or shoot, preserving the
characteristic form of the shrub.
Fight green lice with tobacco tea
and the rose slug with lime water.
Or try busting air-slaked lime on the
infested rose bushes.
Use sharp knife or scissors when
gathering flowers. Early in the morn
ing is the best time, and the blooms
not quite developed will last longest.
Keep the stems of the newly cut fow-
ers deep in water before arranging IN
bouquets.
Make place for the petunia. 1t Is
one OF the most accommodating OF
plants. 1t makes a fine showing rap
idly, grows easily and takes root rap
idly. II there is q corner on the home
grounds you haven't planned for try
this year to grow petunias. Prepare
the soil carefully, scatter petunia
seeds upon it, water with fine hose
and watch the seeds grow. Look out
for the big weeds, the little ones Will
be smothered by the rapid growth OF
the petunias.
II Jack Frost has found some tender
seeding, place 1t out of the sun I'm

Gladioli must be planted every two
weeks for succession. The plants are

roses or with background Of shrub

den.
Cannas like very rich soil and plen-
ty Of water during the growing season.
Plant two feet apart, If they are the
tall-grewing sort, the dwarf kind can
be planted closer. AS the seed pods
form, cut them of. A mulch of strawy

Placed on the stage. partly burying the
tubers in leaf mold, plenty Of shoots

about three inches in length they

frame on this and plunge the pots

A great many ANIMALS and peren.

and verbenas; but whore there is no

when two French guns. one of 95.mil-

On the morning Of May 81, the allies
took up position for general attack.
The s5-millimeter gun opened on the
defenders. 1t was learned later that
This caused great CONSERVATION and
surprise among the Germans, because
tney thought it was impossible to bring
such heavy piece through the Jungle
to Garoua.
Fighting was incessant for two
days. Each night the allies pushed
their trenches closer to the Germans
The Germans employed the nights in
strengthening their positions. BY day
both sides took refuge in their excava-
lions.
The night OF June 8, Captain Car
bonneau made daring raid with thir.
ty-tWo men. He penetrated to the
edge OF the town and set fire to $50
cases of munitions. He also learned
from natives the exact position of the
houses in the center of the town
where the Germans had taken refuge.
The next morning the French big
guns blasted these houses, setting
them afire. The Germans did not
hold out much longer. In the after
noon of June 10 white flag appeared
on the roof Of the hut which served as
German fort. Then. for the first
time. the French realized that they
had no white flag with them and could
not reply in kind to the German sig
nal.
With the remark: AT this distance
they may take it for white" one of the
perspiring French officers took of his
shirt and waved it.
Captain Won Crailsheim, the German
commander, at first demanded q sur.
render with all the honors of war, but
finally gave up Internationally.
The combined northern columns
were now able to move south and
form a junction in November with
the most northern of the two columns
invading the colony from the east.
The Germans were reduced to scat
tered groups and the allies sent scout.
Ing expeditions far and wide through
the vast jungle to locate them. There
were several fierce fights, one at Ban
20, where the British defeated the
Germans. The pursuit continued, but
the Germans were able to escape to
friendly internment under the Spanish
flag.
What will happen to the German
colony at the conclusion of peace can
not be said now. If the allies win the
war, it will probably be divided up
between the British, French and Bel
gians, with perhaps titbit to Spain.
