HOW TO CUT ROSES

There is right and wrong way to cut roses. The choice of the latter may seriously injure the blossom- p1 O. ducing properties of the plants, it is pointed out by specialists of the
 U. s. Department of Agriculture. This applies particularly, of course, to rose
 plants chosen and grown especially for cut-hower production. Such roses will be largely of the perpetual bloom | ing sorts.
 When a rose is cut from such Iplants-tea roses or other perpetual bloomers-only two or three eyes of the current seasons growth of that branch should be left on the plant. This should give the roses very long stems. Succeeding blossoms should be cut close to the ground. It will seem like destroying the bush to take so much off it, but if the object is the production of roses, the cutting away of the surplus wood will attain the desired end.
 If the spring pruning has not been sufficiently severe the plant is likely to have long, naked stalks and short
 stems to the flowers. With this character of growth only one or two strong leaf buds hould be left on the branch when the flower is cut, so as to stimulate as much growth as pos sible from the base of the plant.
 The greatest temptation to leave wood is where there are two or more buds on one branch, some being small when the terminal one is open. This temptation to follow bad practice can be avoided by pinching off all side shoots after bud has formed on the end of branch. This prevents the formation of two of more buds on one stalk. This summer pruning will en- courage additional blooms on varieties which bloom more than once year.

MOTION PICTURES AND THE
 SALOON.

The motion picture people claim that the liquor interests are the main intgators of the proposed tax on the gross receipts of moving picture thea tres incorporated in the revenue bill now pending in congress. Whoever is responsible for it, this is not a just tax Everybody of any observation knows that in the small towns, a nov ing picture business is about as hard a thing to make a financial success as anybody ever tackled and very few of them are really able to stand an ad- ditoual tax The charge that the li- Quor interests are trying to throw all possible stumbling blocks in the way of the picture men seems to be very well substantlated. The Research De- partment of the NJ. F. church, after investigation is said to have asserted that 1t is a fact and the numerous liquor publications have been open in thelr condemnation of the movies whom they seem to regard as a dan gerous and hostile competitor. The detrimental effect of the pictures on the vhlskey business is alleged to have come in two ways, first in the offering of cheap and highly enjoy able form of entertainment and re- creation and second in the portrayal Of the many evil phases and associa- tons of the liquor traffic.
 The following article from Midas criterion, a leading trade publication, Is one of the numerous quotations cited by the picture people in proof of the liquor hostility.

Little Rock, Aug. 26.-The romance surrounding the marriage of Lieut.. J. B. Rigdon, of Dardanelle, and Miss Hattie Archer, of Little Rock, just before the troops departed for Dem ing, on the high bluff known as Lovers Leap, on Big Rock, has been rudely shattered. Reports of another wife in St. Louis, his departure from the camp at Deming without leave early this week. his return to Little Rock in an effort to patch up his do- mestic affairs, and his attempt to re sign his office are some of the chapter headings in the drama of which he is the leading man. He appeared ar headquarters yesterday with the Mrs. Rigdon, who was Miss Archer, and rendered his resignation but it was not accepted, and he will have to re- turn to Deming and stand trial for being absent without leave.
