WARMING UP RIGHT
'ardaman and Bslbo The Leading
Speakers at A Mass Meeting In
Jackson Tuesday Night.

Jackson, Miss. Oct. l7.--In the face
Of rainy. disagreeable' night. during
part Of which street chr traffic was
tied up by power trouble and street
Lights we're off, there was a represen-
,atire gathering of jackson men and
won en at the eouHty courthouse to-
night in answer to call for a state
vide prohibition mass meeting. The
call for such a meeting was gotten out
only ! few days ago, as declared, sin
the interests of the two prohibition
Ia passed at the last session Of the
] lcgislature, and which the whiskey
terest are making a determined
effort to recall"
The meeting was called to order by
". NJ. Hemingway, city attorney of
Jackson. and one Of the most aggres-
sive and effective prohibition workers
IN Mississippi. X. E. Remington, a
leading merchant and man of affairs,
vas made chairman, and Thos. NJ.
Heeernan chosen as secretary.
The principal speaker were: Repre-
sentative J. w. Collier of the Eighth
Mis-. issippi District. Miss Anna Cor
don Of Evanston. H.. presidenSof the
National W. c. T. T.. Senator James
n Variaman and Governor Theo. G.
Bilbo.
At the outset Mr.. Hemingway de-
eiared that this was not a political
meeting in the strict acceptation of
the term except IN so far as its after
math may be reflected in the balIoting
Of the voters at the polls on November
ON the question whether or not
Mississippi retains or rejects the
statutes enacted by the Legislature.
As declared by Mr.. Collier, Mis<is-
sippi is at heart n prohibition state. a
dry state, and the open saloon, in his
opinion. Is gone forever. But there
must be laws enacted to preserve the
integrity of the prohibition statutes,
and especially TO break up the blind
tiger. In forcible terms Mr.. Collier
veatured the prediction that not emily
statewide, but countrywide prohibi-
tion IS coming. though it mat not be
until the next generation. II is COM
ing, he declared. as an economic as
much as 4 moral necessity.

ODD METHODS EMPLOYED TO
OBTAIN BLOOMS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

TO grow flowers successfully nova
DAYS they must be cared for like nerv-
Gus. delicate babies and trained with
the patience and attention needed to
produce a prima donna.
For modern methods of flower cul-
turp closely resemble the treatment
moted out to fragile human beings.
Thousands Of such plants may be
seen in the different parks of the big
cities whose greenhouses are regular
experiment stations.
The advice which some scientific
gardeners follow with regard to their
flowers is as follows:
The plant bulbs are wrapped in cot
| ton wool When they begin to flower
they ChlOroform them. They are sur
rounded with ice one day and steam
the next. and occasional electric
shocks are administered.
One exhibitor of fuchsias recently
told how the modern scientific gar
dcner attempts to improve on nature
and hasten the natural growth Of
! plants.
A novel system has been adopted
nv some hOrticulturists for making
fuchsias bloom quickly and luXuri-
antly.
when the plant is about to flower
it is placed in an inclosed space filled
with chloroform vapOr. The immedi-
ate result is that the plant is retarded
or paralyzed in its growth.
When the fuchsia is placed in the
fresh air again it is said to start grow
ing again with redoubled energy, and
flowers much quicker than it would do
in the ordinary way.
Another method Of stimulating
plants is by submitting them TO high
| frequency electric currents.
Growing flowers nowadays is even
more difficult than bringing up ba'
bies-that is. if one wants to produce
the finest possible blossoms.

GROW FERNS FOR A CHANGE
BY 1. "a. BENNINGTON.

TIL" ordinary way 10 propagate this
class Of plants is by dividing the
plants. by the creeping rhizomes. by
the little bulbets that form on the
lrOnds and by the seeds or spores
that appear on the undersile OF the
leaves.
The cnterprising fern lover will find
It most interesting to propagat" by
spores and pcrchance produce a really
valuable addition to these beautiful
and graceful plants.
Procure a seed pan or a box with
plenty of drainage holes and cover the
bottom with broken crockery.

SOME NOTES IN SEASON
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

The main planting season is over
now, but do not forget to look out
for and renew any plants that have
not thriycd so far.
We miss a part Of the satisfaction
of growing flowers whore We DO not
profit by last years experience and
utilize that knowledge TO better our
home grounds this year.
Remember most flowers do not sue
coed in a shady yard II your garden
plot is of that nature do not despair
OF having flowers. but wisely plant
the things that thrive in the shade
and take your toll in pansics, ferns
and other well-knOwn lovers OF shady
corners.
Do not work the soil too deeply
about plants that root close to the
surface: merely break the crust with
the clawrake, or with the fingers.
Go over the garden after a hard
rain, lOOsening the soil and the hose
will not be so much in demand.
Keep the struggling geraniums ont
back. and give rich food and plenty
OF water and they will bloom until
frost and be in good shape for win
tering in the cellar.
Nearly all plants thrive best II
given plenty Of breathing space, either
by spacing when transplanting or by
pruning off the side branches. Many

Those who specialize in certain lines
of apparel have demonstrated that the
most unitarian of garments may be
made with an eye TO beauty. This is
demonstrated in the Overall-aprOns,
which answer the purpose of house
dresses in summertime. and in the
new breakfast suits which have an at
traction all their own.
These useful garments are turned
out by manufacturers and retailed
through shops at a lower price than
they can be made for at home, if the
housewives time is counted in as
worth anything. The overall-aprons
are described by their names and they
are designed TO be slipped on and fIs-
tened in the quickest way possible.
They cover the dress completely and
are perfect garments for homework

PLANT SHADE TREES.

When YOU are planning 70 plant
trees around the house it will be well
TO give a thought 10 the Japanese
walnut and the Downing mulberry.
The Japanese walnut was first i'm.
ported from the Orient about twenty
years ago and is rapidly growing in
popularity wherever it has been
tested
i does not bear much resemblance
to our native kind. differing in leaf
and manner of growth. 1t does not
start many limbs. and they are thick.
stubbv and blunt When bare Of leaves
its appearance is not very progresses
ing or graceful. hut when in leaf it
will compare in beauty with any Of
our shade trees. and is sure to attract
the admiration OF every observer Of
tree life
Its leaves are large and tropical in
outline and make n dense shade. To
all these qualities of a fine shade tree
il adds the value of a nut tree. 1t
bears a nut something like our native
butternut in shape, but not so large.
These nuts are borne in clusters and
i'm great abundance and one of the
best features Of these trees Is the very
early age they come into bearing.
They begin at three or four years.
They are vigorous and hardy growers.
The Downing mulberry, or perhaps
one OF the several other sO-Called ever
bearing varieties, makes a good sec
ond choice. There is not a great deal
of difference between any Of the null
berries. though it is said the Downing
is not hardy in the North
II is a very rapid growing tree,
which in itself is a very valuable
quality in shade tree. It's leaves are
large and make a fine shade and from
every point of view it is a beautiful
tree except, perhaps, that some might
object to the fact that it bears fruit
in abundance.
This quality, however. should make
it priced all the more by the farmer
For a number of weeks it produces
delicious berries that are the delight
Of the children and of the birds and
fowls.
Birds of all kinds may be seen in
its branches feasting on the berries
and making the yard cheerful with
their presence and their song. The
