THE PEoNY AND ITS CULTURE.
BY E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Among. all our herbaceous plants,
there is probably not one that stands
higher in popular favor than the
peony. And it richly deserves its pop
ularity, because Of its great hardness,
its ease of culture, its magnificent
range of rich and delicate colors, it's
wonderful profusion of bloom and its
tenacity of life.
The writer knows many specimens
IF the old variety, cultivated by our
grandmothers, extensively, that have
been growing in the same place in the
old gardens for more than a century,
and, without exception, those that
received good care are as vigorous and
healthy today as any young plants.
and year after year they give glo-
rious crop of fine flowers.
Many of these old plants have grown
to be clumps five and six feet across,
and one can often count hundreds Of
blossoms and buds in various stages of
development on each plant.
Such plants as these are what Is
needed to make the attractions of
garden permanent. There is no other
hardy herbaceous plant that can be
used with such fine effect in the
border.
Scattered here and there among the
shrubbery, it produces a most satisfac-
tory show of color at a time when
most shrubs are not in bloom.
Probably, however, it is most strik-
ingly effective when planted in large
beds. If it can be given background
of evergreens it's rich colors show up
to great advantage. Shrubbery of any
kind as background, brings it's
colors into strong relief, and one
should always plant, If possible, with
that aim in view.
If partially shaded, all the better.
The culture of the peony is simple
in the extreme. 1t does best in a
rather stiff loan, or almost any soil,
preferring it to lighter soil, because
its roots.
While it prefers such a soil, it will
do very well indeed in sandy loan, or
almost any soil, provided it is rich
in the elements Of plant development.
To grow good peonies, one must make
liberal use of fertilizers, preferably
old, well-rotted manure. Unless this
is done you cannot expect a vigorous
r. growth of stalks and foliage, or gem
erous crops of large, richly colored
flowers.
It is hardly possible to use too much
manure about it, If 1t is old enough to
be black and crumbles easily under
tn, application of the hoe. 1t should
'|be dug into the soil about the roots
of the plants, taking care, however,
not to dig too close or deep enough
to. disturb them.
There is no plant that resents a
disturbance of it's roots more. Dig in
to clump to secure a "toe" for a
neighbor, and very often the parent
plant will refuse to bloom the second
season.
Cheyenne record., 1917-09-13

So hardy is the peony that it is
not necessary to give 1t winter pro-
lection at the extreme north, if its
roots are put deep into the ground.
If given shallow planting, the frost
will often heave them badly unless
covered with coarse manure or mulch
of some kind.
The roots should be at least six
inches below the surface. While win
ter protection is not necessary, 1t is
advisable, because it prevents taxing
the vitality of the plant excessively,
in its efforts to Withstand a severe
winter.

APPRECIATION |S
 TAKEN TOCOURT'

Somewhat the worse for his en- counter with a county officer, Sam Ballsum made his appearance in Jus tice Wheeler's court yesterday when he was fined S25 for exceeding the speed limit on North Central avenue.
 Ballsum is alleged to told Don Johns, county motor cycle officer that he would not appear in any court when the officer informed him that he was under arrest. According to Johns tes- timOny the local business man declared that he was a taxpayer and he guessed Johns wouldn't arrest him." Johns said he had another guess and added, I'll take you know whereupon he de- clared Ballsum called him a vile name and attempted to spit in the officer 5 face. Johns returned the courtesy with a blow and deputies, who chanced to pass at the time, assisted in bringing Ballsum back to town where he was arraigned before Justice Wheeler and the case set for yesterday afternoon.
 While Johns testified that Ballsum was travelling 27 miles an hour in the 20-mile district. Professor J1dson of the Osborn school, who saw him pass said it looked like he might have been going at 45 miles an hour.

 Young lieutenants who have been anxiously awaiting promotion to high CT rank as the result of good work will have to wait still longer for their reward.

All vacancies in the na- tional army up to the rank of major are to be filled by the officers who will receive their commissions from the training camps in the next two weeks If any vacancies still remain after all the quota of new officers has been eX- hausted they will be filled by promot- ing the reserve officers now in com mand of troops.

Los AnueIes' New Class

Nothing can happen in Los Angeles, good or bad, that does give the newspapers of that city occasion to place Los Angeles anew the map The Times finds that Los Angeles enjoys the distinction of being the largest city the world where only beer and wine will be sold after April of next year. It may be said further and broadly that it will be the only place in the world, city, town village hamlet where beer and wine only sold. But some large cities and many small have total prohibition We not quite whether this compromise Los An geles has made is honorable distinction. It used be the opinion of physologists, and it may be yet that beer is the widely harmful intoxicating drinks; that the habit beer drinking fastens itself quickly and firmly than the habit of whisky drinking, and that it quickly effects damaging structural changes.
 But all this does obscure the fact that Los Angeles has placed itself in another by itself. II is many other such solitary classes It is the only seaport in inland captivity. It is the largest village in the whole known world. We know also that has not in it's population citizen with the largest his neck in the world we would have been spprised of that fact through the local press.

WOULD BRING GEAR BACK

Of Germany could afford allow a democratic republic to stretch along her north border The kaisers opinions of republics well known and he is right about thenfrom his point of view. Every republic is a menace to the king job everywhere, and the kaiser's pet dream is to publics extinguished.
 He is moreover, bound by the terms of his gen. tlemans agreement with the and the rules of the Amalgamated Union of Royal NincompOops of Europe, of which he is the founder and head to put the back the job if he overruns Russia He would not have to overrun very much, either to be in virtual control. There is certain danger point known all students of the Russian situation. if the kaiser gets that in his claws further resistance will be essentially fruitess the revolution will col lapse and Germany can do she peases with the greater part of what is left
 The chance for democracy in Russia, therefore, depends upon keeping Germany of it. But if that is attended effectively democracy in Russia will proceed along only and that is to industrial less than political radicalism It isn't that a few leaders want this: everybody wants it. The country is not. you might agreeaby suppose in the hands of few theorists and visiOnaries it is thoroughly convinced that the old industrial system go it is that it doesn't want the old political system back.-Chares Edward Russell in Golfers Weekly.

A Man of Action

Georges Clemenceau the French premier is the revive the dropping spirits of France to treason, solidify patriotism and to bring forces the nation together. France needs such
 man, despite the splendid efforts that nation has made in the war; they were the efforts of united nation. In the background almost from the begin ming there has been strong sentiment of pacifism, and another strong element which hoped that out of the ruins of France the monarchy would rise again. Then too. there the well meaning dreamers and philosophers to whom Clemenceau addressed himself in the chamber of deputies Wednesday, when he fouted the Society of the World" Some light may be thrown upon the character of Cemenceau by the statement of Colonel Roosevelt when he visited Eu rope eight years ago that he particularly meet only two men. One of them Clemenceau and the other the kaiser. Colonel Roosevelt is not a dreamer and so neither these two men, but men of action.
 Clemenceau reminds the philosophers that the society of the World" is nothing new. Men have been talking about it from the beginning of civiliza ton. The federation of the world has been beau tiful thought. It become a fact when human ture has been perfected and think that is insane as to suppose that it is nearly perfect.
 Perhaps, chastened and subdued by this terrible war when it is over. and while yet in the departing shadow of it, the nations might be brought into federation. Such federation might stand for five, ten years or generation. Then national selfnterest would assert itself. Groups would be formed and would have the thing again.
 We have seen how difficult it has been main tain federation of the states of this union. If the south had been only little it would not exist it has been maintained only by force and can have no assurance that force will always be sufficient. No federation except one great smal has stood for any great length of time They have either because the force within insufficient because hostile forces without overpowering
 Switzerland alone. has stood for centuries, main- tained from both, within by it's own strength and supported without, by the jealousy of it's neighbors
 Besides, in the mind of Clemenceau this is time of a Society of the World" anything else after the war The is not and while it calls upon every nation engaged in it for the ma xmum of its energy and brains.

 H|S PENCHANT l

While Manuel Torres was in the county jail awaiting trial on the charge of assault with a deadly weap- on he attempted to knife one of his fellow prisoners. This was announced in court yesterday when Torres ap- peared for sentence on the charge on which he was convicted by a jury Tuesday. Taking this into considera- ton, Judge Stanford sentenced the Mexican to a term of from two to five years at the state penitentiary at Florence. In the meantime County Attorney L. NJ. Laney will take up with the federal authorities the mat ter of having Torres sent back to Mexico.
 Torres has been in this country only a few months. He was recently em ployed at the Lutgerding Farms and it was while there he became enraged with MT. Lutgerding and attempted to stab him. The dispute arose over the fact that his employer paved him by check when he desired cash.
