deal of shade. What would you rec ommend? Mrs. l..
 A. Try the bearded iris. There is nothing more effective in a bed and they succeed well in the shade.
 Q. Would bone meal be a good fer tilizer to put around young peaches set out last fall? A. B., Haleyville, Ala.
 A. It would do some good. but you need something much quicker in ae- tion to stimulate rapid growth dur ing the summer. Nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia would give fine results. About a teacupful to the tree, worked into the soil round about, but no closer than a foot. About double this amount of high grade fertilizer would give splendid results.
 c. What is the flower called pheasants eye. Mrs. S., East Lake.
 A. It is a common name applied to variety of adoris. vernalis. OK eye is another common name. There are both annual and perennial species of adoris.
 o. We would like to have your opinion about bdellium, spoken of in the Bible. What it is? Mrs. F., Selma.
 A. My own opinion is. the bdellium spoken of in the Bible, referred to certain gum from trees and shrubs, largely used and highly prized by the ancients. Many species were used in their religious worship and not a few for medical purposes. Certain gums were common remedies for leprosy and are even to this day used in the same countries for the same purposes.
 O. want to use remedy on stock that calls for burnt alum. How do you prepare from the lump alum, which I already have on hand? H. w.. Guin.
 A. Burnt alum is simply alum with its moisture taken out by heat, but you can't prepare without the facili- ties. Better buy from your druggist.

THE STORY OF WONDER.
We have covered twelve chapters
just half-of the most beautiful
book of the world" In this time the
span is far longer, for it reaches from
December Of 5 B. c. to January Of A.
D., 30-to within three months of the
cross. More than in any other Cos
pei is there given the story of those
years Of preparation for the brief per-
iod of active ministry. Here alone the
home Of John the Baptist appears
and the sources Of the oil that fed the
flame Of his life are revealed. Here
alone are recorded the reason for
Mary and Joseph beng in Bethlehem,
the song Of the angels, the coming Of
the shepherds, the presentation in the
temple and the Boys visit there when
twelve. The preaching of John, the
baptism, the temptation follow with
the emphasis laid upon tehir prepar-
atory worth for the ministry Of which
Luke gives the substance of His first
home sermon, the key to all later ac-
tivities. For His ministry is to the
poor, the needy, the sick, the sinners,
the Outcasts, and His eyes are contin-
ually searching for opportunities for
helpfulness. 1t underlies His call of
the Twelve and their training in the
meaning of His work and His word
until He sent them out upon the same
errand of mercy that had brought
Him from heavens glory to earth's
drab. And the seventy followed upon
a similar mission and the story leaves
them all upon the east side of the
Jordan in the beginnings of The jour
ney that closed with Calvary. 1t is

made a group of boys like Peter,

the Gospel of singing, for here are
the songs of Mary, Zecharias, Simeon
and the angels. 1t is the Gospel of
prayer where the Lord caught heav-
EMS speech at baptism and transfgu-
ration while He prayed and was so
much given to it that the disciples
asked to be taught its art. 1t is the
Gospel Of womanhood and childhood,
the Gospel Of home love and family
spirit extended to all men, both Jew
and Gentle, and there is note Of
wonder over Gods grace that runs ali
through its pages. Having been set
free from slavery in both body and
soul by its message it is little strange
that it should carry such a conscious

Lord to give liberty to the last, lone

OF SPECIAL
INTEREST
To every resident Of Oakland and
Garrett County, may we express our
best wishes for happy and prosper
Gus New Year
May we also resolve to make our
greatest effort to produce a business
record for 1928.
1t is gratifying indeed to learn of the
fine business merchants of this town
and the whole county have reported
of the holiday season, and it is con-
Sidered valuable to both the merchants
and their trade all told to encourage
the "Buy at home spirit. If the lat-
ter good rule is followed out, themer-
chants and all saleS-departments can
afford to carry a large supply of well
bought goods, giving the best possible
values for their prices.
With this thought in mind may we
request that all consumers show a good
spirit by buying all of their require
ments of their own merchants, max
ing such men their purchasing agents
instead of riSking their good hard
money to perfect strangers, for ex-
ample Mail Order Houses.
May we at this same time reQuestof
our merchants to extend every possible
service and courtesy to their customers
during the coming year, maintaining
their lines at best possible prices for
them.

FIRES HERE AND ABROAD.

Much improvement has been made in
this country in the reduction of fire
losses. One American city of about
100000 people thought it was doing
pretty well last year, in view of its rapid
growth and multiplication of buildings,
in having only 1891 fire alarms. That
is, it thought so until it learned that
London, with several times its popula-
ton, got along last year with 225 alarms.
and was all Worried over the size of
those figures.
II may be that Americans turn in fire
alarms ON slighter pretexts than the
English do. Our fire departments may
be more of general utility organizations,
to rescue drowning boys and get the
family cat down from the top of a tele-
phone pole, along with fighting conflag-
rations and putting out smoke in the
garbage can. Still, the fact remains
that they have remarkably few fires
abroad, compared with us.
Brick construction does it, some OBJ
servers say. But it's people that start
fires and careless person can start one
even in a brick house.

TREATIES NOT RATIFIED.

Americans learn with surprise that
the treaties resulting from the Wash
ington arms conference are not yet in
effect. and are not likely to be for some
time to come. They do not become OPP
erative until all of the signatory powers
have ratified them and exchanged rati-
fcations, and the United States is the
only one of the five big powers that has
taken the necessary steps.
Japan has ratified the Shantung agree
ment, and is expected to ratify the i'm
portant five-power naval reduction
treaty and Horsepower Pacific treaty at
any time. But when Great Britain,
France and Italy will ratify is problem
aticaL There is even possibility that
France may never do SO at all, for that
country seems strangely inclined of late
to play a lone hand in international af-
fairs, and she gave her preliminary as
sent at Washington unwillingly.
Why the powers should delay action
is not explained. They have been busy
with the Genoa conference, but that
hardly accounts for so long a delay
They have had time enough to ratify, il
they wanted to, in these four months
There is some ground for suspecting that
