ENGLISH POOR LIVE
BETTER NOW THAN EVER

WASHINGTON. May s. War
has not brought poverty TO England.
In fact, many Of the poorer classes
are living under better conditions
than they were before the war.
This may be stated upon the au-
thOrity OF Lord Eustace Percy Of
the British mission and a leading
economist and trade expert of Eng
land.
Il have an intimate knowledge
with settlement work in London, "
said Lord Percy today, and 1 can
assure you that many of the people
of the lower districts are living in
comparative luxury, to what they
were before the war
This is due partly TO war wages.
OF course the population of these
lower districts is now largely com
posed of women and children, for
most Of the men are at the front.
But the men who are left behind
and are working in the industries,
are receiving better wages, far bet
ter than those they received in ante
war times"

A FLOWER OF THE RICH

Everyone of the recent flower shows
in the East has been marked by the
keen competition displayed among the
wealthy patrons for awards in the
Tchigantus class.
Much time, care and attention are re-
quired to get in the blue ribbon class
in the culture of this plant. 1t seems
to offer little for the person with the
small garden because of the care and
the amount of outlay that seems to be
necessary to get the best results with
1t.
Undoubtedly, it presents rich ap-
pearance and is worth all the care that
may be bestowed by those who possess
the means, but most of the average
readers will find something else in the
garden that presents just as rich an
aspect with less requirement of labor
to bring it to perfection. The chief
reason why it is society favorite' is
that only the best equipped places can
afford to take part in the competition
and there is certain air of distinction
in being an exhibitor in this class.

ROSES SET IN POTATOES

How many lovers of roses ever tried
the plan of setting cuttings in pota-
toes? The success of the idea is
vouched for by several able culturists.
The idea is to take cuttings from the
late blooming wood and make the po-
tatoes supply both the food and the
moisture for the winter roofing.
The potato is first pierced with a
steel crochet needle or a wooden meat
skewer. Then the cutting is run all
the way through the potato. Several
cuttings are placed in one potato. The
potato is then soaked in water over
night and planted in a protected place
near fence or wall.
A preserve jar is useS to cover the
cutting, with weight ON top to keep
1t from blowing over and, at the same
time, to prevent sunburn. The cut
tings are left until spring when it will
be found that in nearly every case they
have rooted.
