Southern Women Are Not the Cingng Vine Iype but Wonderfully Wide-awake" Says Miss Frances Carpenter

I'm very lukewarm." Miss Carpenter replied. prettily "Of couse, I believe suf- frage will eventually obtain; when enough women throughout the United States want It. At present there is too great an apathy. 1 don't believe in militant suffrage; I don't think anything was gained, for instance, by the attack made on the President and the picket duty and that sort of thing. There were SO many jokes about that situation, hy tn, way. Did you happen to hear the story about the policeman who tried to enter the White House to protect the Presl- dent? No? Well, he never could get inside the gates, because he got stuck on a picket. Isn't that funny? No; really, I'm too much interested in other things writing and studying to be an ardent suf- fra gist, I'm afraid"

DESTROY ENGLISH SPARROWS

Build bird houses or improvise them. Fix a trap door in them so you can open it, and take out the young and the eggs of the English Sparrows. Destroy them Shoot, burn, drown, poison or otherwise kill every English sparrow you can. They are the enemies of all good, and will do more harm to garden than the drought. They will drive off insectivorous birds, and eat off the blossoms of beans and peas, besides being noisy and disagree able
 On the contrary, encourage the insec- tivorous birds-wrens, blue birds, cat birds, thrushes, mocking birds, pee wees, tomtits, sapsuckers, woodpeckers, phoebe birds, red birds, tanagers and others of their kind.
 PLANT MORE FIGS
 Plant fig tree in the corner. They take up little room and are a joy all dur ing the summer, after they come into bearing. A charming woman on the South Highlands has cultivated figs more or less extensively for the past several years and enjoys considerable revenue fl om the luscious fruit. There is also a big fig plantation out in Norwood, and it has been demonstrated time after time that figs are a great success in Birming ham.

 If you have horse COW or chickens, plant in rich ground few rows of pearl or horse millet. Wait until the ground gets warm. Plant the seed thick. You can begin to cut it for green food as soon as it Is few inches high and 1t will continue to grow, almost as fast as you cut it over, and you will enjoy sec ing the stock enjoy it while the dew is on it. This feed does not, of course, take the place of corn or oats for horse feed, but helps out lotN
 In planting your garden, use plenty of seed. Seed are comparatively cheap, and it Is economy to use them freely, re- membering that you have to plant also for the bugs and birds and moles, and if, after escaping all these, they come up too thick and escape the cut worms, you can still thin them out to stand

to smash the safe open. Everything
was topsy-turvy-ma furni-

in order to execute them according to
martial law. The houses which had
not been already destroyed by the

on fire by US, so that nearly the whole

for servants in households of one. two

whether he proposes to limit the num-
