THE TULIP IN POTS.

Some varieties Of tulips are well
-.lapted to the flower pot. The Clu-
siana vent grows to a height of 20
inches, with slender stem. The
leaves are very long and narrow and
sthe flower sometimes measures two
inches across. This variety Is of the
funnel form, with bright lemon-yel-
low flowers, with light shading of
green or white, sometimes streaked
With pink. 1t is very fragrant, and
when properly cultivated is one of the
most beautiful of all the tulip family.
The tulip is easy to cultivate, as it
thrives well in either heavy or light
soil. It does better, however, in rather
light soil, well-drained and fairly rich.
Those grown in heavy, black soil pro-
duce smaller flowers, and the colors
are not nearly so bright. In some of
the uplands of Virginia the ideal tulip
soil Is found for the growing Of bulbs,
and it is said to be almost identical
with that of Holland, where this
flower is so successfully grown.

MACMILLAN TRIP ARCTIC ROMANCE

He found rich mineral-bearing rocks
and extensive coal fields. The exact
nature of these discoveries is not yet
entirely disclosed. A complete report
will be given out by the American
museum. The expenses Of the trip
were borne by the museum, the Ameri-
can Geographical society, the Univer-
sity Of Illinois and various persons In
terested in Arctic exploration.
With his thousands of specimens SO
valuable to the scientific world, Mac
MILAN brings back an insignificant tin
box, which to one person in the world
means more than hundred nar-whale
skeletons. Macmillan told the story
Of this little box as follows:
II gave this box to little Eskimo
girl. who will cry her eyes out over the
loss of it. She insisted upon coming
with us up from Etah. Forty miles
from there we had to chase her off the
boat. and in her hurry she left this
tin box. She can comfort herself with
the other treasures priceless to her. I
gave her little silver watch, tooth
brush, bits of gaudy cloth. rattrap.

chewing gum and a piece of soap.

w. Elmer Ekblaw and all the men,
bers Of the party gave high praise to
DR.. Morton P. Porsild, a noted Danish
scientist, head of the Danish govern
ment scientific station at Godhaven,
Disco island, Greenland. Ekblaw was
the first American scientist to spend
any time with Doctor Porslid, although

students from several European coun-
tries have been sent to the station for
instruction.
Doctor Porsild is doing work in bot
any. geology, astronomy and zoology
and in the study Of Eskimo culture
which will gain recognition from the
whole scientific world" said Ekblaw.
HE and his wife have been at God
haven since 1905; their daughter was
born there and has never been out Of
Greenland. He Initiated his work and
the Danish government was so i'm
pressed by Its value that they allow
him 10000 crowns (about $2.SSO) a
year to carry it on. 1t extends
throughout the Baffin Bay region and
along the east coast of Greenland.
Doctor Porsild Is forty-five years
old, but looks older. He has beauti-
full home, an extensive library and a
well-equipped laboratory. The numer-
Gus hot springs at Godhaven render
the climate and vegetation similar to
those some 900 miles to the SOUTH"

Intimate Sketches of Sibert and
Pershing by One Who
Knows Them.
THEIR RECORDS AS FIGHTERS
Both Generals Careful Planners and
Each Has an Enviable Record for
Getting Big Results by
Hard Fighting.
1y EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Washington.-In a recent news arti-
Gle cabled from the field headquarters
of the American expeditionary force
in France, there was given a study Of
the temperament, characteristics,
methods and personal attributes Of
Maj. Gems. John ]. Pershing and Will
liam L. Sibert.
Here is one thing that was said Of
the senior major general:
"Pershing is Of the quick-on-the-trig-
ger style. He is of the dashing type,
nervous, always on the go, like sur
charged battery, stirring up everybody
he comes in contact with, forcing them
along at top speed"
Here is what is said of the junior
major general, who commands the d.
vision in the field:
"Sibert is a deliberate, methodical,
tireless worker, watching every detail,
insistent that reports of his young Of.
ficers be accurate, comprehensive, cov-
ering every angle-of the type that is
persistent and sure He Is an
engineer with training for accuracy
that figures down to thousandths Of
an inch"

An Illuminating Postcard.

A young girl Of plebeian ancestry
achieved fame as an actress In Lon
don. Feeling the necessity, however.
of rest from her labors. she wrote to
her uncle, a police sergeant of a coun-
try village, asking him If she might
come and stay with him to recuperate.
She ended her note: "Please send P.
@. to say If may come"
A few days later her landlady rushed
upstairs with an awestricken coun-
tenance- policeman wanted herl The
girl descended with an ominous feel
ing at her heart, says London Tt-BitA-
"If you please, MISS" said the stolid
being who confronted her, eyeing her
with stern disapproval, "I'm the P. q
what you asked your uncle to send,
but I may as well tell you straight
away as I'm a respectable married
man. Your uncle's prepared to take
you in If you're willing to make your
self useful-feed the pig. clean his of.

THE CARE OF YOUR PLANTS
BY 1. M. BENNINGTON.

Some persons labor under the delu-
sion that water must be applied daily
to their plants in the window garden.
More plants are killed every year
through this process than by any other
,ideans. Plants watered every day are
literally drowned out, unless they hap
pen to have the best of drainage.
Others go on the 'little-and-often"
plan-that is, they apply water in small
quantities whenever they happen to
think Of it.
The result is the surface Of the soil
is kept moist, and from this the owner
takes it for granted that the soil be-
meath must be properly damp.
Nine times out Of ten examination
will show that an inch or two below
the surface the soil Is dry. OF course
the roots of the plant cannot do their
work under such conditions. The plant
soon sickens and eventually dies and
the owner wonders what caused the
trouble.
Now, in watering plants several
things have to be Considered. First
the nature Of the plant. Some like a
great deal of water, others only mod
crate amount.

COSTLY CHIMES FOR CADETS
Big Set Of Bells Is Being Made for
Chapel at United States Military
Academy at West Point.

What Is said to be the most costly
chime of bells in America and one OF
the most musical sets in existence IL
now being made at the foundry Of the
Meneely Bell company Of Troy. N. z,
for the massive tower of Cadet chapel,
Rev. II. P. Silver, chaplain, at the
United States military academy, West
Point, as the gift Of Mrs. James M.
Lawton, in memory Of her father, the
late Maj. Gen. Robert Anderson, who
was graduated from the academy In
1925, and whose brilliant command OF
Fort Sumner at the outbreak Of the
Civil war has thrilled millions Of read
ers of American history, says the
Watchman-Examiner.
There will be IL bells in the chime,
the largest weighing nearly two tons
and measuring Sc inches at its mouth.
The cadet chapel is of stone, quarried
from rock found on the military
grounds and cost to build about half
q million dollars. Its commanding po-
sition on the hill back from the Hud-
son river makes an ideal place for
bells, and the patriotic airs from the
chime will sound throughout the beau
tiful highlands, in the midst of which
the military academy is situated, ana
prove a source of inspiration to the fu-
ture generals Of the United States
army that will always linger win them
pleasantly.
Cheyenne record., 1917-09-20

Second, the soil. A close, loamy soil
dries out slowly, therefore it will not
require as frequent or as large appli-
which moisture evaporates rapidly.
Third, location and exposures must
be taken into consideration. Plants in
the sun or very warm place, will
need a good deal more water than
those in full or partial shade or low
temperature.
Fourth, the size of the pot must be
reckoned with. The soil in large pot
will not dry out for two or three days,
but the soil in small pot will become
quite dry every day. Little moisture
needed.
Fifth. dormant plant requires but
little water. It is not in a condition to
make use Of much water, and an over
supply of II will surely result in harm.
When the plant begins to grow then in
crease the quantity and proportion this
to the development made.
All these things must receive due
consideration by the amateur who
would know how to care for his or her
plants intelligently.
Study them. Experiment with them.
In this way you soon become familiar
with the individuality Of each one and
you will be able to give to each the
care 1t needs.
We are often asked for some rules
for watering plants. 1t Is impossible
to make any rule that can be followed
strictly.
The only rule I have ever been able
to give is this: when the surface of
the soil looks dry, water. Use enough
to thoroughly saturate all the soil in
the pot.
You can tell about this by the
escape Of some at the bottom of the
pot. Then wait until the dry look ap-
pears on the surface again and apply
water as before.
But, as I have said, one will have
to modify this rule to f1t the condi-
tions. It is general rule, subject to
such change as may appear necessary
to the intelligent plant grower who
does not believe in treating all her
plants exactly alike.
Give fertilizers to growing plants
only. A plant standing still needs
none, and will be injured by the appli-
cations of the food it is not in con-
dition to make use of.

Smile--It Won't Hurt You
Any--Says Doug Fairbanks

Smile and the world smiles
with you; whine and you "get
the gate"
Age should not prevent one
from starting cheerful life.
Smile and succeed; laugh
and live-but combine mirth
with determination.
These are few of Douglas
Fairbanks Smile Epigrams. 4"
Fairbanks had probably made
more money out of a smile than
any other man on the face of the
earth. He is the Iron Man of
the Movies" No feat of strength
or agility is too severe for him
and the smile never rubs off while
he is doing it.
Fairbanks attributes his success
to the fact that he is an exponent
of the smile.
"A smile develops congenial
character" hS said. 1.-THE physi-
cal always reflects the mental. You
force smile and gradually your
inner emotions, out of sympathy,
correspond with your effort. You
then derive the happy results.
Make a practice of this and
you will be smiling all the time.
Your disposition will develop into
the sunshine variety.
"A man with a smile is sure to
win, for the man who smiles has
confidence in himself"
