the same, excepting that tulips take
more time than the others.
Here are few hints:
A six-inch pot Is the best for all
purposes.
Use light garden soil In potting.
Place piece of broken pot over the
hole in the bottom to secure free drain
age.
Fill the pot three-quarters with soil
Three hyacinths, as many narcissus
five tulips and a dozen crocuses can
be placed in six-inch pot.
Space evenly.
The practice of placing layer Of
clean sand directly under the bulbs is
always good. 1t helps keep the newly
formed roots clean, but it is not es-
sential to success. A dark corner of
the cellar Is good place to place the
pots. The keeping of the soil damp
Is thereby aided. In the winter prop
er some Of the quickgrowing species
may be grown in water. Hyacinths,
paper-white narcissus and sacred Chi
nese lilies are among the best for this
purpose. Fill . the glass with water
so that It just touches the bottoms OF
the bulbs, and set in u dark place un.
til the glass Is filed with roots. Then
bring into the room, and change the
water once or twice a week. Temporal
ture OF from 60 to 65 degrees Is about
right for the venture.
Personally, I like to experiment with
bulbs. The results are usually assured
with small care.

WAR THREATENS FLOWERS
BY ELIZABETH VAN sENTHUYsEN

1t is n good, far cry from the grim
horrors of war to the pretty hyacinth
and the crocus, but recent news brings
the interesting Information that the
great European conflict is presenting
serious menace to the chief source
of imported bulbs.
Private advices received in New
York from flower folk In Holland,
who cannot be considered rs preju-
diced or even Interested in the larger
affairs of state, say that there is dan
ger Of having the bulb supply for the
next half century destroyed. Holland
has her army ready to fight either
side, and she has number of issues
which might make her entry possible.
AS first item of defense she plans
to food all the lands in her dixie sys-
TEN.
This, say the flower experts, will re-
suit in the destruction of the great
bulb industry. Not for so years, ac-
cording to the sages of fiowerdom
will the industry recover from such a
calamity.
All of which Is but a news preface
to the remark that the raising of bulbs
in pots, pans and glasses during the
winter months Is simple and mex
pensive process II one is fairly care
full of the requirements. Among the
many methods by which bulbs can be
successfully grown. there are:
In soil placed in pots and pans, with
drainage at the bottom.
In fiber, which is light, spongy ma
terial, prepared witha view to prevent
souring. Bowls, jardinieres, vases or
any other receptncles where the roots
can take hold may be used.
In water, with pebbles or sand in the
bottom of glasses, to prevent the bulbs
from falling over.
Hyacinths, narcissus, daffodils, tu-
lips and crocus are among the joys
that are easily possible with little eff
fort. Almost every dealer In the coun-
try has his stock of bulbs ready for
the market.
If forcing Is wanted. the larger bulbs
should be taken They grow larger
and stronger flowers. The last Of No.
.vember is not too late for planting
and the treatment Of all bulbs is about

WON 1s GAMES, LOST 8

The Wa-Keeney base ball team
closed the season this year with the
very desirable record of having play
ed twepty-one games of base ball and
having won eighteen of them. The
three games lost were one to Hill
City, one to Oakley and one to Ellis.
Notwithstanding these losses the
team has the satisfaction of having
also defeated each of the teams to
which they lost game. This record
is very unusual for country teams
and the boys are proud of the record.
They closed the season with about
seventy-fve dollars to the good after
having paid out considerable more
money during the season than usual.
They have gathered up all their suits
and have them cleaned and pressed
and carefully laid away for next year.
The 1917 base ball team for Wa-Kee-
ney was one of the best teams in west
ern Kansas.

THIS IS GOOD. HELP BOOST IT

'sI have just been thinking of how
many boys have gone away from
Trego county to be trained to fight
for their country if necessary within
the next few months, and how lone
some some of those boys will become
for news from home and concerning
home folks. To help relieve <this
Ionesomeness think it be a good
plan for some person in each neigh-
borhood from which some young man
has gone, to write up the local news
and send them to the World each
week The parents can then forward
the paper to their boys and this will
add much more news for each one.
1 see by the St. Louis Republic that
at many times the boys are short of
reading material at Camp Funston" !"
Mrs VIM. A. Riggs.
This is a good suggestion and it
comes from one who is directly inter
ested in the soldier boys. The World
will gladly publish any neighborhood
news which will be of interest to the
soldiers or to the community and will
be pleased to have the news sent in
by correspondents from all parts of
the county.

In every community are certain
fellows the outsiders claim go to
church because they think it will help
their business That's like a lot of
other silly theories. You can't fool
the church people any easier than you
can fool the outsiders. Church people
patronize wicked men just the same as
wicked men patronize church MEM
bers. Neither church members nor
outsiders care to do business in
place reeking with profanity, dirt and
incompetence. Service, honesty and
fairness is the lone magnet that draws
business. Bluffing always falls down
when accompanied by short weights
and inferior goods You can't long
fool the people with a religion that
you do not practice. just remember
that at this stage of the game the
easiest person in the world for you to
fool is your own simple self. and every
time you fail to play the game on the
square you are doing it.-Osborne
