Roumania, and yiceA president of the

Rounania to Fight Until End.
THE problems and sufferings OF
Roumania are little known in Ameri
ca. We have been rather silent about
them, as there are many things about
which we could not talk. For exam
pie, the consequences to the Allies OF
the failure of Russia have been enor
nous, but to Roumania the results OF
that failure have been almost tragical
Yet, we have borne the burden in 81
lence, in spite Of all our misfortunes
however, | am convinced that my
country will continue to fight until
the end We can follow only one
course and that is the path of honor
We are under a pledge to remain
loyal to the Allies until the end"

OLD FASHIONED FLOWERS

The good old-fashioned flowers prove
the adage "the survival Of the tittest."
They are beautiful and easy to grow,
which recommends them to busy house
mothers.
GloXnlas and tuberous begonias are
excellent summer boomers. Procure
the tubers in April or May. Spread
them out on pieces of old carpet, made
and kept quite warm and damp, to
sprout. If this Is not done before they
are put into pots, some Of them, espe-
clally the begonias, may get planted
wrong side up.
When sprouts appear pot the tubers
In light, spongy soil, one to each six
inch pot. The begonias will need to
be given support, as their stalks lack
strength to stand up sturdily when left
to themselves. These come In wide
range of rich and beautiful colors.
Some are single, some are double the
latter are preferable.
The gloxinia comes In white, GRIM
son and purple. Some varieties are
bordered with contrasting color, 9TH
ers have throat of light or dark col
or, while still others have spots Of dark
color on a light or white ground.

not as Hight and graceful as the annual
sweet pea, they have a charm all their

and drought, need little care or coax

If you want TO cover fence or trel-

stems Of the Virginia creeper, about
six to eight inches deep. At every

soil and top-dressing Of well-rotted
manure in the spring and fall. This
vine is hardy as the oak and almost
immune from the attack Of insects and

The gladloli may be planted up to

and liquid manure, they will bloom be-

Mr.. J. Everett Bryant was shaking
hands with his friends on the streets
today, having about entirely recov-
cred from his critical illness Of last
Monday. The doctors have not de-
cided lust what was the matter with
Mr.. Bryant, but some substance was
evidently pressing on the BRAIN
which was relieved by an operation
when the surgeon took water from
Mr. Bryant's spine. That this good
man has been spared to his family
and friends Is the cause Of much re-
joicing.
