At Salem, Ore, there is n state peni-
Tertiary, and the warden has been
looking into the status Of the prison
ers. He finds there are more bachelors
in the penltentiary than married men.
Larceny Is the most common crime,
and laborers are the most numerous
class among the prisoners.
Marriage Is good for u man, as tho
Almighty knew when he said: at is
not good for the man to be alone. Let
us make n helpmeet for him." Mar
ried men are not only more law-abid-

they are also more moral, for mark
you, there Is a difference between
crime and morality. They are also
more healthy and live longer on the
average than unmarried men.-Los

crs of this section handle the plants {:
Before the plants nre brought to the
ground q quantity of top soil Is pro-
cured for the purpose of filling In
about the roots. They need lots of
moisture TO keep them healthy and to
maintain the rich green color. Then
the transplantlng Is done in the spring
and the plants are handled with care
10 prevent the roots from being dried
out by the wind.
The cvergreens that run from ~ to
II inches are set from s to II inches
apart. The larger plants can be placed
with 1S-lnch intervals.
In order that the evergreens may be
bushy. they are pruned when planted,
and this makes the subsequent shaping
OF the hedge easy. The spring time is
taken for the pruning, because the
plants are then resuming their growth
and the process finds It's best results.
Starting at the beginning, the first
thing to do Is to dig u trench wide
enough not TO cramp the roots, so that
they can spread fiat and not touch the
sides. Then plenty of well.rotted stable
manure Is worked in the trench with
the soil. After the planting n coating
