PRETTY COMBINATIONS FOR
THE FLOWER GARDEN
BY BETTY PAKE.

A particularly brilliant bed is made
up of scarlet saliva, golden yellow and
brown calliopsis and scarlet and vel
low coleus.
Make the center of scarlet saliva.
Surround this with the rich golden
yellow and brown calliopsis and Dor
der the bed with scarlet and yellow
coleus, using a row of each or alternat-
ing the plants. This makes blaze of
color in midsummer.
Some lovely combinations come from
the annual phlox.
The use of the pale pink, the pure
white and the delicate yellow planted
in masses or arranged in circles is
beautiful enough to suit the taste of
the most aesthetic gardener.
A brilliant bed can be made of pc
tunias. Arrange your colors, as the
juxtaposition of puppies and red forms
too bizarre an effect. Fill the center
with red or purple petunias and sur
round them with white. This is a
good way to heighten the effect of each
color by the contrast.
Narcissi are hardy. They live in al
most any climate or soil and may be
left alone for several years after once
being planted. A rather deep and
somewhat stiff soil is preferred; and
If the position is one particularly
shaded from lots of sunshine in the
spring the flowers of some of the
species retain their beauty for much
longer period than they would if ex-
posed to all the light and sunshine
possible.
The usual mode of propagation is by
offsets, which should be collected
from the parent bulbs and planted out
separately for a year in order that
they may grow sufficiently large for
Towering.
The majority of the species increase
somewhat freely by this method and
permanent clumps may be lifted, and
their offsets removed, should there be
a danger of injury caused by the flow
ering bulbs being overcrowded, ensu-
ing from their multiplying.
The process of raising plants from
seeds is a slow one, but is practiced
for raising new varieties.
Seeds should be Sown soon after be-
ing collected, in pans of sandy and
rather loamy soil.
Young bulbs should be planted in a
prepared border, and do not require
more than one inch of space.

Honey Earliest Sweet.

Until the beginning of the sixteenth
century honey was almost the only
sweet known and quite the only one
generally used, it being available with
out preparation. The Old Testament
refers to Palestine as "a land flowing
with milk and honey" synonyms for
richness and nourishment, and mutually
complimentary. Our pioneers located
'bee trees" and some of us still re-
member the midnight journey to the
tree, which was felled and it's treasure,
mingled mass of splintered wood,
broken comb and dead bees, brought
home to be strained and the wax melt
ed down. Modern beekeeping has en-
tirely changed this crude proceeding,
and the up-to-date apiarist handles his
bees almost as freely as his chickens.

Plato or Socrates?

If Socrates is conceded to rank as
the greater, or more influential of the
two philosophers, it is largely because
of the devotion and ability of Plato,
his admirer and biographer. Accord
ing to Plato's "Apologia," Socrates was
really the supreme man of his age,
foremost in originality and in thought.
Plato's great humanity-his uncon-
scious prophecy of Christianity was an
exhibition of that-his application of
philosophy not simply to morals in the
abstract but to nation, or a personal
ity, has won him great popularity in
all ages. and there are many who put
the Stagirite in the second place, and
consider Plato his exponent as the
greater, and more influential of the
two. Really, it is wise not to attempt
comparison of these great Grecians,
but to read thankfully what their wis
dom has given to the world.-Ex-

SOMETHING ABOUT THE PEONY
By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

The peony can be planted in spring
or late fall. l consider the best time,
all things taken into account, is the
fall. The ground is then in better con-
dition and the work can be done to
better advantage than at any other
time.
Do not wait longer than October,
the early part of the month, prefer
ably. The bed can be got ready earlier
in the season. See that the soil is thor
oughly mixed with the manure used,
and spade deeply-not less than foot
and half.
Purchase strong plants. These will
cost considerably more than the usual
size sent out by florists, but they arg
well worth the difference in price. By
all means have them sent by express,
and put them into the ground as soon
as received. Do not depend upon your
neighbors for supply, as so many do.
No one likes to injure his or her plants
by dividing them, though few of us
have courage to say no to an appli-
cant for "toe or two" but that is just
what the peOny owner ought to do,
and must do, if he or she would have
fine specimen plants.
If the amateur gardener fully under
stood the slowness of this plant in es-
tablishing itself, and the resentment it
always manifests to any disturbance of
its roots, few persons would be selfish
enough to ask anyone to mutilate his
or her plants in order to enable them
to save the expenditure of the little
money.
While large beds of peonies are eX-
tremely effective, especially in extern
sive grounds, where they can have the
advantage of sufficient distance, and
good background against which to
display their magnificence of color. 1

SEND Them CANDY
Officers Advice to Women Wish
ing to Aid Soldiers.
Suggestion Explained by Fact That
Men Need More Sweets Than They
Get in Their Rations.

Somebody asked someone in the
quartermaster's department what she
could do to make life for the soldiers
at the front, wherever that might be,
more attractive.
"DO they need sweaters, or wrist
warmers, or what can l make them?'
she queried.
"Don't knit" said the man quoted.
make them candy. They crave sugar
and they need sugar."
So the young woman in question
promptly went to the nearest candy
shop and placed an order that pound
of candy be sent every other day to the
particular soldier in whom she was in
tereSted.
Years ago, when the Boer war was
raging, Queen Victoria once celebrated
her birthday or some other festal day
by sending package of sweet choco-
late to every Tommy fighting in South
Africa. And some of her subjects stay
ing safely at home said to themselves
and each other: "Why on earth is the
queen sending sweet chocolate to men
who are giving their lives for US? Why
doesn't she send them something they
need?"
Today most of us have come to rec
ognize the food value that lies in
sugar. We have learned that pure
candy, if it is eaten as a food, is
wholesome. 1t is harmful when it is
eaten between meals, and so spoils the
appetite. We know, too, that the more
hard physical work we do, the more
sugar we need, because it is an easily
assimilated fuel food.
Hence today the quartermaster's
mandate that we send candy to the
front, although it at first seems
strange, is easily understood. The ra-
lions of the soldiers are carefully bal
anced, but still, many of them, living
outdoors all the time, crave more
sweets than they can get, and are bene-
flied by them.
So add to your list another chance
to help the men at the front-and send
them candy.

organization that works from nine to

Showing Thought Careful study

pleasure is afforded by scattering the
plants about in a mixed border.
Here they come out strongly during
their period of bloom, and after that
they are not as noticeable as they must
be when planted in beds. No one will
claim for the plant much merit in the
way of attractive foliage when it is not
seen in the companionship of flowers.
In this respect the peony is very
much like the rose, which would never
be extensively planted if it had moth
ing but it's foliage to commend it to
general attention.
This is not saying that the foliage Of
the rose is without beauty, but rather
that it does not make the plant a shrub
worth planting as shrub, when con-
sidered apart from it's flowers.
There are many beautiful varieties
to select from, superior sorts, repre-
senting the most distinct colors, and
covering the entire season of peony
bloom.

SUMMER GARDEN HELPS

Make a succession of paintings of
sweet corn and snap beans up to the
middle or last of July. These will
give you good vegetables for late use.
Transplanting celery three or four
times develops a stronger root system
for the plants, and the plants will
grow better when set in the perma-
nent row.
If the garden is stirred frequently
during the summer with a fine toothed
horse cultivatOr the soil will retain
moisture and it will never become
hard and cloddy.
When cantaloupe vines are about
two feet long pick off the ends of the
vines. This will induce free branch
ing and heavier and better fruiting.

GARDEN NOTES.

If you wish to get specimen cannas
and dahlias start a few in the house
early in the season. Remove roots,
stocks and unnecessary fiber and cut
into single eyes.
Then put in four-inch pots in rich
soil; shift when the pots are full Of
roots. The Gamma, like corn, needs
moisture and heat to develop properly.
A flower friend says she rid her
lemon tree of scale by applying a
strong lather of soap suds with stiff
brush to both sides of the leaves, stem
and trunk. This was allowed to re-
main for half a day and then washed
off with clear water. The scale was
then easy to brush off.
When planting trees in clay or other
heavy soils not we'll drained follow this
method: Dig holes three feet wide
and 20 inches deep; place in them or
10 inches of drainage, rocks, bricks or
cinders well packed. Upon this put
three or four inches of sod-grass side
down, then plant the tree as usual.
An excellent hedge plant is Kochia-
sometimes called burning bush or Mex
lean fire-plant, because of its turning
to rich dark red in the fall. During
the summer it is a mass of pleasing
green. 1t is excellent for rows in the
background or for planting about the
base of the house to hide the founda-
ton walls, set about a foot and half

NEW SYSTEM INAUGURATED.

With the new quarter, beginning October 1, the Post Office Department inaugurated an entirely new system of handling postal accounts of postmas- ters throughout the country. Hereto fore every post office has been re- quired to make quarterly report to the Department at Washington, show ing the amount of business done the preceding quarter, the number of stamps on hand, etc. By the recent or der one post office in each county has been designated as "central-account- ing office,' and the other offices in the county make their report to this of flee instead of to Washington. The central accounting office passes on these reports, when they are then for warded to the Department. The Fayetteville office has been des- ignated as central accounting office for Washington County, and the other thirty-five offices of the county will do their postal business with this of flee, receiving their postal supplies, such as stamps, postal cards, stamped envelopes, etc, from this office Huntsville is the notwithstanding office for Madison County. Rogers for Benton County and Eureka Springs fer Carroll County.
 Contrary to some newspaper re ports the new order has no effect on money order business. Money order accounts will continue to be audited by the Department in Washington as heretofore.
 The new arrangement adds mater ially to the work of the central ac- counting offices, but will be a eonven- fence to the district offices, enabling them to secure supplies more prompt ly.

 A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or eallus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to inflame or even irritate the sur rounding tissue or skin.
