The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1917-11-30

From the reports of the p~ostofice
clerks, Uncle Sans boys in the various
environments were the recipients of
many packages of Thanksgiving dain-
ties and substantiols. The EXPRESS
Offices also were crowded with pack
ages both large and small. But we
venture to say that in all the camps
there was not a box which could sur
pass the n sent by the mothers to
the ten Brownsville boys who are with
Or Battle Malone at Fort Mcpherson.
Ga The box was packed at ]. L..
Shaw's grocery, where all the things
had been received from the families
and friends Of the boys. 1t was diff
cult to secure a box just the right size
to hold them. One was thought to he
large enough, but after placing the
first layer in it was found to be wholly
inadequate to receive all packages, so
the second, then the third, box was
brought out, and after much delibera-
ton and care the top was nailed on,
wires wound round and fastened with
brads so securely that no even hungry
express clerks could get a peep into
the coveted contents. There were a
dozen OF the prettiest cakes that Hav-
wood county has ever turned out. a
dozen fat baked hens with delicious
dressing and gravy in jars, ducks.
cronberry sauce, jellies, pickles, chick
en- salad, beaten biscuit, celery, fruits
of all descriptions, and boxes galore
of home made candy, which the bow in
France so longingly wrote for his
mother to send him. He said that
they had everything to wear and every
thing good to eat but candy; and if he
just could get some candy-tell all his
friends if they want to know what to
send him, just to send him candy. They
say there are measles and pneumonia
in the camps but after Thanksgiving
we're afraid there will be other all
ments added to the list.

TULIPS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

In well-drained sunny bed tulip
bulbs will live and increase from year
to year, but should be lifted, divided,
reset, every third year, as the clumps
become too much crowded to thrive
and bloom.
Tulips increase by bulblets which
issue from the side of the larger bulbs.
Under certain conditions, too, the larG-
er bulbs split up into smaller ones.
In potting lilies, set the bulbs two
inches or more beneath the soil. The
larger the spot, the larger will be the
plant. Auratum, speciOsum, longiform
and brOwnii are all suitable for pot
culture.
After potting, water and set in
dark closet or cellar, keeping the soil
moist until roots form and the tops
start, when the roots may be brought
into a sunny room and thence to the
garden.
The lilies named are not suitable for
winter blooming, but will bloom in the
spring If treated as suggested.
The Amazon lily (Eucharis) may be
similarly cared for, but requires more
heat, as 1t comes from warm coun-
try.

tural exhibits, is regarded as one of
the most learned agricultuhsts in the

WORK AMONG THE FLOWERS
BY E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Let She hedge take the place Of a
fence where possible about the home
grounds. If the fence Is imperative,
let 1t be hidden by drapery of vines
-hOneysuckle is the best permanent
vine.
California privet leads the hedge
plants in popularity; then comes bar
berry, japanese ounce, althea, buck
thorn and some varieties of roses. For
utility the Usage orange.
Dor't forget that rotation in the
flower beds is as necessary as in the
fields and gardens.
Go over the lawn and If you find
moss rake it out. Cut well below the
crowEs of the dandelions and plantain.
If possible tOpdress the lawn with leaf
mold or thoroughly rotten straw or ma
nure.
The continuous Towering border
recommends itself to the busy house
wife who wants a lot of flowers and
who has but little time to give them.
Prepare border two or two and one
half feet wide and spade it two feet
deep enrich it with well-rotted ma
nure. Into this border plant all sorts
of animals, perennials and bulbs, plac-
Ing the tall growing ones in the back
row and the short ones along the edge
Of the border. AS the years pass, the
border will grow In beauty and bloom
ten months in the year-almost.
If you have tree around the place
that is dying and you want to renew its
youth, plant wOodbine at its base and
IN a very few years the tree will be
covered with foliage and have wav-
ng banners more beautiful than In it's
prime of life.
You must dig deeply and thoroughly
f early crops of flowers or vegetables
ire wanted. No matter what the tex
ure of the soil, light or heavy, tits
llways improved by spading deeply.

AMERICANS GO TO FAR EAST
Tourists, Cut Off From Europe by
War, are FIocking to the Orient
In Large Numbers.

American tourists, barred from the
greater part of Europe on account of
the war, are flocking to the far East,
according to Uncle Sans consul gen.
eral at Hongkong, China. The tourist
travel to the far East, as well as that
to Europe, stopped at the beginning of
the war, but it has been revived. Hotel
reservations at Hongkong and in all
the principal Oriental cities are re-
ported to be heavier than at any time
in the past four years.
Some of this increased passenger
traffic is of a commercial sort, says
Uncle Sans representative, but the
great bulk Of it is Of people travelling
for health, recreation, or instruction.
Most of the travellers are making the
round trip from the west coast of the
United States to Hongkong by way of
Japan and the Philippines, returning
via North China.

ABOUT PRUNING SHRUBS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

In pruning shrubs it should be re-
membered that there are two classes.
One produces the flowers from buds
formed the previous season. Another
class from buds on the new wood of
the present seasons growth.
Weigelia, lilac, syrlngias, golden bell,
honeysuckles, deutxias, dogwoods, pri-
vets, viburnums, rhododendrons, kali
mais, azaleas, daphnes and the flower
ing currant, peach and crab, androme-
dias, Japan ounce, and hydrangea are
some of the most generally used shrubs
that flower on the last seasons wood
and in pruning any of these at this
season the towering buds will be cut
away.
Roses, burning bush, altheas, hyperi-
mum, hydranges grandiflora and pani-
eulata, amorpha or false indigo, ge-
nesta, colutea and robina, all flower on

She is Nemesis Of Wildcats.

Miss Catherine Modine of northern
Curry county, credited with being the
champion bobcat huntress of the state,
has filed application for one of Uncle
Sans homesteads in the timber re-
serve. Miss Nodine and her shepherd
dog have accounted for more than 100
wildcats and lynxes, says a Brandon
dispatch in the Portland 0regonian.
With her mother, she successfully
conducts a stock and dairy ranch near
Denmark, doing their own plowing,
fencing and land clearing. There is not
a man on the place and there is not a
better-developed ranch for it's size in
that neighbOrhood.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender
aching corn relieves the soreness In
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, rooc and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adN

the present seasons growth and in
most cases they will flower more free
ly If severely cut back.
In pruning, be careful to make the
cut close to the trunk. To prevent in
jury to the tree, first saw through large
branches from below, six or eight
inches away from the trunk; then saw
from the top few inches nearer the
trunk until the limb falls. Then make
a new cut close to the trunk. This
will prevent splitting and possibly tear
ing away a part of the tree.
In pruning small limbs and shrubs
make the cut just above the bud.

EASY TO GROW TUBEROSES

These handsome stalk flowers are
easily grown. Good rich soil is neces-
sary. The flowers always sell readily
and ship any distance without injury.
Bulbs also sell well. Sort them into
three sizes and make the price ac-
cOrdingly, Plant In a sandy soil about
five inches deep.
A space in the backyard, a yard
wide and two yards long, will produce
dozen fine stalks that will provide
hundreds of flowers.

Scion of Francis Scott
Key "SoIdier of Sea-"

Following in the footsteps of
his illustriOus ancestor, Francis
Deuber, a direct descendant of
Francis Scott Key, the author of
"The Star Spangled Banner" is
now serving his country in the
arm of the national defense
which boasts that it is always
"First to Fight''-the Marine
Corps.
Private Deuber's mother is a
great-granddaughter of the au-
thor of our national anthem, on
the maternal side. Deuber's re-
semblance to his renowned an
cestor is said to be so noticeable
that many of those who have
seen the original Francis Scott
Key picture have commented up
on the remarkable likeness.
