HOW TO PLANT A GARDEN

Today is Arbor Day. The first
thought in connection with Arbor Day
is beauty, whose first attribute Is
cleanliness. Let us begin to clean
up our yards for our gardens. Per
haps so per cent of the success in
gardening lies in the thorough prep
aration Of the seed bed. Before max
ing the seed bed liberal amount of
we'll rotted manure should be freely
applied and spaded under. Before
spading, however, the ground should
be raked clean of all weeds and 9TH
er trash which has accumulated. The
ideal manure for the vegetable gar.
den is made up largely of COW drop
pings. which have lain long enough to
be we'll decomposed.
The earlier you spade your garden
the better. 1t is very seldom that
soil is injured by overwork, but crops
frequently suffer from lack Of cult.
Walton. AS soon as the soil has been
spaded 1t should be thoroughly raked
until all the clods have been well
pulverzed and a fine mulch has been
obtained. A we'll fined seed bed
serves the double purpose of con-
serving the moisture and removing
resistance to the tender plants COM
ing through the soil. The thorough
preparation CT the seed bed before
planting gives to the soil the needed
ventilation which will make 1t more
productive.
The club wishes to correct a state
ment made in this paper two weeks
ago about the ideal garden. In an
ideal home garden will be included
only vegetables and flowers, instead d
of grass plot, trees, vegetables and
flowers.

JOIN THE RED CROSS

Inc local branth n OF the American

cess in obtaining new members. Both
men and women have shown a will
ingness to join and be of whatever
service they can to their country in
this hour of peril New members to
the number of 56 had enrolled up to
Tuesday evening and it is hoped that
the membership in Gilpin county will

to the Central City or Gilpin county
braneh, meeting is called of all the
signers fer Tuesday afternoon, April
24:h, at 2:3O O'Clock, at the head
quarters in the Elks' building.
Why your country needs you as
Member of the Red Cross.
YCu know what the Red Cross is.
You are familiar with some of it's
achievements - with the orga niZed
helpfulness, heroism and self-sacrifice
of its men and women amid the hor-
rors of war, devastating plaques and
epidemics; and in great calamities,
such as the San Francisco fire, the
Ohio Valley floods, the Titanic" and
''Eastland" disasters and other ca
tastrorhes involving loss of life and
suffering.
Do you know that as an American
you have the right to become a mem
ber of the Red Cross? That by the
payment of small annual dues, and a
little unselfish service, you can sup
port your Government in it's human
itarian work?
Your circumstances may not per-
init you to engage in field wcrk-few
members can-but you can help;
your family and your friends can
help by becoming members Of the So
ciety and by actively supporting your
local Red Cross Chapter.
Your help is needed now. To sup
port its field and base hospitals, its
doctors and nurses. and to provide
the necessities of military and civilian
relief calls for at least 1000 900 mem
bers. America can do what other ma
tons have done.
No field service is required of menu
bers.

cloud of the past, and although

in sad memories with kind of q
morbid relish for the stimulus of
their miseries. Sometimes, for
getting the past and present, they

He was ultimately consecrated as bishop,
and returned to Ireland in the year 432 for
the purpose of beginning his missionary
work among the Irish, who at that time
were pagans. He devoted the whole of
the rema inder of his life to the conversion
of the Irish from paganism to Christianity,
and before he died his efforts were
crowned with great measure of success,
for he lived to see most of the various
clans of Ireland brought within the folds
of the church.
St. Patrick died at Saul, Ireland, March
II, 46l, at the age of 72 years. The place
of his burial has never been definitely
settled, but it is generally conceded that
it was either at Saul or Armagh.
The peaceful methods of St. Patrick in
converting the Irish to Christianity were
such as to cause him to be more revered
than any of the early Christian mission
aries who preached the Gospel among
our pagan ancestors. The usual method
employed in those days was for some
Christian prince to conquer pagan peo-
pie and force Christianity on them at the
point of the sword; but St. Patrick used
persuasion, which. combined with his
inviting personality, was more successful.
