Culture Of Roses
Soil Preparation

If a vote were taken to ascertain
the most popular flower, without
doubt the rose would receive reg
ular landslide victory over the rest
of the floral candidates. Not only
does the queen of flowers" possess
beauty of form and color together
with delicious fragrance, but a rose
is equally beautiful on the bush or
cut and used for decorative pur-
poses. Many people are deferred
from growing and enjoying roses
because of the seeming difficulties of
cuItivation-diflicul which are
eliminated if varieties suitable to
the climate, soil and location are
chosen.
Roses will grow and give good re-
turns in any fertile, Well-drained
ground, but if the highest quality
is desired it is necessary to select
an open, sunny position, sheltered
from north winds and clear of the
roots of trees and shrubs. A soil
capable of growing good garden or
field crops is suitable for roses. The
best soil is sod from an old pasture
and we'll rotted COW manure. Of
the commercial fertilizers, ground
bone is excellent to add as additional
food, but will not answer as a sub
stitute for compost. Cottonseed
meal, wood ashes, lime, and muriate
of potash may be used. Dig out
the bed to a depth of two or three
feet and if drainage is imperfect,
improve it by putting six inches to
one foot of broken stones, cinders
or any rough material in the bot
tom, and providing an adequate out
let Fill in with a mixture of soil
and manure. 1t is better to make
the beds some time in advance of
planting to allow time for them to
settle.

The clipping I am copying right

She rises up at break of day,
And through her tasks she races;
And scrubs the children's faces,
While schoolbooks, lunches, ribbons,
All need consideration.
And yet the census man insists
She has mo occupation"
When breakfast dishes all are done,
She bakes a pudding, maybe;
She cleans the rooms up one by one,
With one eye watching baby;
The mending pile she then attacks,
By way of variation.
And yet the census man insists
She has mo occupation"
She irons for a little while,
Then presses pants, for daddy;
She welcomes with a CHEEKY smile
Returning lass and laddie.

CAROLINA JEWETTS ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS at HOME

are a smart girl to do all the things
You tell me about.
4. I am writing to you for ad-
vice. I am Ia years old. L am in
love with a boy, 18. He has asked
me to marry him and I told him to
wait until am 49,. Do you think L
did right by telling him that? Should
L let him kiss me? What kind of
a dress should I marry in? He
wishes me to go with him to France
when we marry and I don't want to
go very much. Should L go with
him? Should I invite him to come
to see me Should I go with him to
parties?-Ludell.
Answer: You did quite right in
telling him to wait until you are 18.
Did you read the first letter printed
in the column today? That is what
happens frequently when girls and
No. do not let him kiss you. I
would wait to settle the style of my
wedding dress until later. [ do not
think there is any likelihood of your
having to go to France with the
boy, as the war is over and no troops
are being sent across except a few
volunteers to go into Germany. I
would not ask him to come to see me
at any certain time, though you may
tell him you will be glad to have
him come at any time he likes. If
your parents have no objection to
your going to parties, it is all right.
5. I am girl IS years old. Am
I too young to go with the boys or
not? Should 1 receive presents from
the boys? Is it proper for a girl to
write to the boys first. Should 1
let the boys kiss me or not? What
kind of dresses should 1 wear?-Pat-
tie.
Answer: You are too young to go
with boys in any except a friendly
way. Girls should not receive costly
presents from boys, though simple
gifts are all right. Girls do not
usually write to the boys first. No,
do not let the. boys kiss you as they
will only think the less of you and
later you yourself will wish you
had not allowed them to. Some of
the pretty ginghams that are so
fashionable nowadays would make
nice dresses for everyday wear and
soft silk dresses in suitable colors

wear.
6. am q girl seventeen years
old. l am in love with one of my
first cousin. He is eighteen years
old, and has asked me to marry him.
Should I marry him? Am [ too
young? Is it proper for me to ask
the boy to my home?-Pony.
Answer: Opinion is divided as to
the advisability of first cousins mar
rying. Generally it is considered
best not to, but it depends on cir
cumstances. l should wait until /
was a little older before [ decided
the question. You are rather young,
and if both of you really love each
other, it will not change your feeling
to wait awhile; and, if you do not
really care for each other seriously,
it would be better to find it out be-
fore marriage. 1t is proper for you

CATS AS MAIL GUARDIANS

Cats are not officially recognized as
employees of Uncle Sam. Nevertheless
they are regarded as quite essential
to all well-ordered postoffices, par
ticularly since the Inauguration of
the parcel post service with it's
many attractions for the rodent fam
lily. Alice Jean Cleator who has had
some personal experiences with the.
feline family as guardians of "edi-
BILE" mail matter, writes in Our
Dumb Animals:
MANY postoft1ces are without a
cat force or 'colaborers,' as some
postmasters call them, yet there are a
large number of offices where their
services are still used and greatly
valued. 1t is possible that most Of
fees will return to that form of COM
batting the rat pest and discard
traps and rat paste, which in some
cases are proving quite Inefficient
