able People who have never had help

good.

new lumber to build on an addition

soaked that it fell 20 pieces, as did also

children. four of whom are in school.

Your War Garden

George NJ. Lyon. city garden director.
recommends that any gardeners who
have planted more ground than they
can properly care for that they divide
the space with some one who was not
able to get a garden, or whose garden
has been drowned out. He wants TO
see all gardens In the city we'll cult
waited and free Of weeds by July l.
After this long period of rainy wealth
er gardeners must use all speed pos
sibie IN getting into gardens to cult
vate, for just now 1t is the most i'm
portant Of all the timely gardening
jobs. There is a double purpose in Gull
tivation. and especially SO just now.
An immense quantity of rainfall-more
than seven inches-has fallen on the
gardens Of the city this month. A very
large part OF this rainfall cal be cor
served and held in the ground to be as
simulated by plant roots if cultivation
is done thoroughly and the surface OF
the soil is stirred until it is fine dust.
Ii cultivation is not pushed at once. the
weeds will get "A start and choke out
the smaller vegetables.
. Another reason Tor early CULTIVATION
under a hot sun is that there seems
to be an abundance Of cut worms that
thrived during the recent moist wealth
or. While the soil is still wet they will
be found very close to the surface Of
the ground and can be turned up by
cultivation and destroyed. II left on
the surface in the hot sun the cut
WORMS Will swell up and burst.
In certain places cut worms exist lit
orally in thousands How thickly they
infest the ground has been shown al
the Country Club during the late food
The worms were driven out of the old
blue grass sod when 1t became flooded
and in Seeking the surface to get out
OF the water they were caught and
drowned. Along the margins Of the
food the dead worms were washed VI
literally in windrows, scores Of them
being counted in a space not more than
square yard. In ground that is under
thorough cultivation they should be less
common. but this year they seem to be
infesting practically all gardens.
About the time early potatoes begir
to blossom, the Colorado potato beetle

Reception of New Members.

Friday being the feast day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the annual re- ception and profession of new mem bers into the Maidens of the Sacred Heart society took place at St. Mary's church at the evening services at l.30 o'clock, and the attendance was large To the strains Of a march played by the organist, Mrs. Thomas J. Healy, the candidates and members of the society marched from their assembly rooms and occupied seats in the main aisle of the church. The ceremonies of the evening were in charge of the rector Rev. John H. Fitzmaurice, who made known the conditions of mem bership in the society. and the class, numbering 50 new members, acknow- ledged the same through their leader, Miss Gertrude Platt
 The officers of the society who as- sisted the new members in receiving their medals and diplomas at the altar railing were the Misses Alice Driscoll, Margaret Purdon and Alice Hoar.
 Father F'itzmaurice addressed the candidates and society on membership in such an excellent society to which so many blessings are attached. He pictured their life to that of the ol- dier in the present war. for as the soldier trains to make a, success of his life in battle, so they must train and secure all the graces and blessings necessary to fight their greatest enc my, sin. The singing by the society was of the usual high standard
 During benediction the solemn act of consecration dedicating the parish and the families to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was offered by Father Fftzmau- rice
 In keeping with the Roman Catholic world in general. the feast. day at both the morning and evening services al St. Mary's was on an impressive scale
 The following was the program fol the evening: Hymn, There is No fIeart Like Thine; reception of candidates; To Thee, o Heart of Jesus; benedic- tion
