The help Of purity leagues, anti

not required by the Prohibition Blu
reau to enforce the national prohibi'
ton act. This was the sentiment ex'
pressed here today by officials OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau and the
Department of Justice.
The Prohibition Bureau appreciates
the help Of any individual or organi
zation, but II is believed that when
organizations, which for many years
have been fighting liquor, attempt tt
step in and take hand In running
the prohibition business, that II doei
more harm than good. .s
Attorney General Daugherty has an
nounced his intention OF holding con
ferences In the various States be
tween State and Federal officials t.
map out cooperative measures FOR
the enforcement of the national pro
hibition act. and this, it is believed
will have the desired effect.
This prohibition law, is just al
much a law as any on the statute
books and should have just as mucf
popular feeling behind 1t as th'

general Of railroads. the Northern
Pacific Railway Company, and other
roads, on the ground that the Law
violated the commerce clause OF the
Federal Constitution.
The law provided that railroad
companies should be taxed on the

A Childs Story of American Literature

Can you imagine anything further from a
view of death than fairy tale in verse?
Here at last was poet who said: 81 don't
see why you think good poetry must be
so pious or so prim or so lofty or so heavy.
1 shall make a poem as dainty and as de-
lightful as can-and to do it, shall get
away as far possible from your old human
notions which oblge you to be so serious"
1t was the first big step taken in America
freeing poetry from the necessity of teach
ing lesson.
But Bryant was all his life impressed
with the sacredness of his poetic mission.
Even when he wrote fairy tales in verse
himself, as he did twice, he did not venture
them with their background of human no.
tons of right and wrong. One might almost
say, indeed, that he kept on writing "Tha-
natopsis'' and THE Waterfowl" until the
end of his days. Though the new poems
were most of them in the Greek portico
style and some of them were very beauti-
full, he never bettered in age what he did
in early youth. So, although his work as
editor and as public spirited citizen has
great importance in the development of
the sense of our national responsibility it
seems better to us to remember him in our
literature as the marvellous boy. 1t has not
been given to many boys in the whole
history Of the world to write two poems
which the world calls great.

 large per cent of the evergreen hedge plant in Birmingham, called euonymus. evergreen euonymus and euonymus japonica, Is infested with scale insect commonly called euo- nymus scale. The most pronounced symptom Is the cotton-like covering which extends over the entire plant. When plants appear thus 1t is a sure sign that the plants have been in- tested for some time, and that there are on tho main branches more or less full-grown insect scales that have been present for some time. It is the young matched out lorvae that seSrstes white deposit on the foliage, sucks the plant to death, but which may be destroyed by prompt treatment, before full matu- rity, when the matter becomes more difficult. Kerosene emulsion is tho most effective treatment, but If used strong enough to kill scale. tho plants are defoliated and treatment may cause death when applied in active growing periods. Lime sul- phur treatment will promptly check and kill the younger insects, but several treatments should be given. and a stronger one during winter. which will finish the job. Tho saf- est mixture for immediate use Is to dissolve one tablespoonful of cop- peras in one gallon of water and stir in two tablesponfuls of dry lime sulphur. Spray thoroughly all parts of the plant and repeat at week in- tervals until trouble abates. Spray in late winter and increase strength 50 per cent.
 Taking Up Bulbs
 Should bulbs be taken up or af- lowed to remain in the ground" is a question directed to this feature of The AgeH Hrald most every day. This question has been frequently answered, but those interested will profit by general observation Of some proven facts. Most bulbs that flower very early in spring, as tu- lips, hyacinths, narcissus. daffodils, jonquils, crocus, snowdrops, etc. are generally through making their maximum growth of bulb expansion by July and should bo taken up by or during August. allowed to dry, sea son and become dormant. They should be stored in dry sand and placed in cool, dry place. After a period of a month or three months rest, they can be planted again. Bulbs that bloom later or in summer must not be taken up before late fall, because the bulbs will often continue to expand until October or November, then become naturally dormant and may be taken up and rested in the same maner as the ear Iy spring Towering bulbs. There are some exceptions to this general rule, but for practical use 1t may be safe ly followed. In most cases tho sum mer Towering bulbs are not to be planted before the following spring.
 Saving and Keeping Seed
 Years ago when there were no seed houses. everybody saved their own seed. Even 40 or 50 years ago you could see in every farm house small lots of seed usually done up In rags and suspended from the ceiling or rafters with strings. Some were put up in bottles, cans and Jars. There were not so many insects in those days and families might have seed that had been in the connection for . hundred years without any total loss. They sometimes put snuff or sulphur in the seed to keep out Insects and the treatment generally proved successful. Inquiries are con-
