Bond Petition Is Rejected by Miss.
 Board of Pardons

Jackson, Miss, July 11.-(Speeial) The state board of pardons com- pleted its labors last Saturday after noon and adjourned until October, but for good and sufficient reasons is holding back the report of their actions on all petitions for pardon for a few days.
 The petition of Henry Bond. sent enced to be hanged in Greene coun- ty for participation in the murder Of two prohibition agents who were at tempting to raid a wildcat still was rejected-Rev. ]. D. Ellis, the min ister on the pardon board, voting to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment All others favored letting the law take it's course, and Governor Russell will doubtless fol- low his usual custom of abiding by the action of the board in such mat ters.
 Another murder case of great in terest Is that of W. B. Threlkeld of Lee county, who Is serving a life sentence for murder of J. W. Witt. A monster petition for the pardon of ThrelkeId is on file here, but there are counter petitions. Both prin- cipals to this tragedy stood high in their community, Threlkeld being a we'll ito do business man and Witt a prominent school teacher. He had whipped Threlke1d's son at school, for which Threlkeld shot the teach CT to death. The pardon board did not take any action on this case, continuing 1t until next meeting. Threlkeld has been in the peniten- tiary since 1915, and Is now on the Oakley faRm.

Gockel Gussen, will make an annual event at the Birmingham Conserva- tory of Music of Mir. Rubenstein's S Master Class having him come every summer for this purpose.
 Learning the Chime.
 Learning to play the chime at Highlands Methodist church has been great event in my musical life. In ths first place-it is out of the question to practice on the 'cldme' as one does on the plano or organ. The only practice I have ever had is just playing. MT. Met tee, who gave me my one and only lesson. said after explaining the construction of the thirteen bells to me-and the mechanism of the chime. Now let me hear you play!' Then heA went over to Five Points and ate Tan ice cream soda. That was the extent of the instruction received.
 But that is all the instruction suppose any one ever gets on a chime because 1t Is quite up to the individual to work out his own sal- vation in playing the bells. One has to discriminate of course with re- gard to the music attempted; semi classical music lends itself to the chime wonderfully; I mean by that, such selections as Loves Old Sweet Song; 0 Promise Me; The Rosary Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes, Kathleen Mavourneen' and those things: operatic selections are limited because of the fact that there arc Just the thirteen bells, some of the most adaptable operatic selections being the Lohengrin Wedding March which I have played at several we'd dings recently, and the Mendelssohn Wedding March, How Pickle Wom- on Are from 'Rigoletto the 'Marche' from Aida while the old hymns Rock of Ages, Abide With Me and scores of those soulful appealing hymns-are the most beautiful on the chime.
 Tt makes me very happy to have people tell mo that the ringing of the chime means something to them I recall on St. Vanentine Day how it poured down rain and when the pro- gram arranged for the occasion was given, an old man climbed into the church and told me that he had come all the long way from his home to hear the chime for it always brought peace to his soul and made him very happy.
 Holiday Programs.
 Tt was the desire of the donor of the chime of thirteen bells to High lands Methodist church that the chime should be enjoyed by the an time community. using 1t on all holi- days and festival occasions and MT. Jay Smith, chairman of the board of stewards of the church has en- deavored to have this wish carried out. On Christmas, New Years. Easter, St. Vanentine's, Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July on all holi- days We give prog1am on the chime. Patriotic selections on the Fourth of July. selections appro- priate to Easter, the Yulettde sea- son and Thanksgiving always char acterize the program.

While I don't know whether Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's little "ecto- plasms" have gotten busy and en- tered the world of music or not-at the same time we oceassona1ly hear tones which sound as if they came from the spirit world.
 Take the beautiful chime at High lands Methodist church, for instance, each afternoon at the vesper hour. The four golden tones of the bells peal forth ringing a message of ap~ pealing to those who. tired out with the days occupation, turn to sweeter, nobler. more beautiful things, re- moved from the mundane sphere and which bring peace and joy to the tired heart and soul
 And then many of us stop and think of the personality back of the ringing of the chime-the one who commands the bells to peal forth their dulcet tones and wonder what manner of person he isl
 l found out few days ago for since the professional chimer, MT. Mettee of Baltimore, who came here last Christmas when the chime of 13 bells was dedicated in loving memory to the late Bishop J. H. Me- Coy, I had not known, except in a remote way, the clever young masi- clan who makes the bells speak to us in such appealing tones.

Fruit jars are good receptacles, but should have their tops screwed on to exclude air.
 c. I am afraid to use the arsenic poisons on heading cabbage to kill worms What else could l use that would answer? Mrs. S., Wylam.
 A. You might secure from your druggist fresh powdered hellebore and mix with equal parts of lime or flour. If the helleberoe is good, the treatment is effective. Dust the plants at intervals, The hellebore itself Is poison where taken into the stomach in any considerable quan- tity.
 O. When is the best time to propa- gate ferns from the runners thrown out at the base of the plant? Miss F., Jasper.
 A. Now is good time or during any active growing period. You can generally tell the proper time to re- move these base runners by their de- velopment and attachment to the soil. They must be potted in rich woods earth or loamy soil and not allowed to dry out or be exposed to direct sun.
 e. Where do the little single white Roman hyacinths and the paper white narcissus come from and when will they be ready? Mrs. k.
 A. Most of them come from France and are generally available by last of August.
 Q. I have been told that concen- trated lye will kill lice and bugs on plants. How should 1t be used? Mrs. K. Millport.
 A. Yes, it will, but it's difficult to always tell just how strong the diff ferent plants will stand the applica- tion. A level tablespoonful 70 the gallon of water is as near correct as could be stated After the plants are sprayed or washed with mixture, they should be washed off with pure water inside of half an hour, as the I've mixture would likely injure if al lowed to remain on plants.
 0. My lawn is infested with earth worms; they crawl out at night on the sidewalk and when the hot sun comes out they die In great numbers. What would be a good plan to kill them in the soil? F. F.
 A. Broadcast lime over the lawn. Moderate application only Is needed. It might be necessary to repeat in 30 days. Rains or watering will carry the lime in contact with the soil and the worms cannot stand lime. Earth worms often bother pot ted plants and can be destroyed in sam me manner.
 O. have read that extract of quassia chips is a good and harmless spray to kill lice on very tender Towering plants. Can you tell me how to make this? Mrs. B.
 A. Boil four ounces quassia chips (get at drug store). in one gallon water for 15 or 20 minutes, add one fourth pound soft soap or common laundry soap; mix thoroughly and strain. Quassia Is not very energetic in it's action, but it does kill -ce, is not poisonous and Is not dangerous to tender plants.

Jackson. Miss, July 11.-tSpeciai.) ) Judge W. H. Potter of the circuit court has fixed September IS as the date for hearing the quo warranto proceedings instituted by attorneys for Excell Coody, to compel T. M. Henry, state insurance commissioner to vacate that office in favor of Mir. Coody. recently appointed and com missioned by Gov. Lee NJ. Russell.

 Under the circumstances MT. Henry will continue as state insurance commissioner for several months.

liquid spray, how strong do you have to make it to be effective? o. L.
 A. It would depend somewhat on what you want to kill and much on the quality of insect powder used. One ounce to three gallons of water is generally strong enough to kir many kinds of plant lice. There is no danger in a stronger mixture.

BESSEMER

Bessemer. July 11.-(Special.)- Bessemer real estate business is walk ing up again stated a prominent real estate dealer Tuesday. He predict ed that soon the conditions would be the same that they were just pre- ceding the general shut down of in dustries last year when there were according to estimates of real estate men 500 more families than there were houses for them to live in.
 With the blowing in of T. c. T.. furnace No. 4, at Robertstown, num- bers of laborers with their families will remove to the city and vacant houses will decrease. With the re- sumption of work at the furnaces the demand for iron ore will be in- creased and the number of laborers employed at the mines on Red noun tain will increase the demand for houses.
 New houses are being erected in all parts of the city, on Seventh ave- nue alone there are six new bunga- lows in the course of erection and one on Sixth avenue and most of these are being built by individuals for homes. There is a strong de- mana for desirable residence lots and socn it is expected that Bes- semer will start on a building boom to supply the demand for homes, which Is expected to follow the re- yIyal of work at the Bessemer in- dustries.

'TOPOOL RETAILING OF MILK SUPPLY
Dairymen and Chamber Plan Common Distribution Agen-
 cy in Birmingham

Horticultural committee of the Chanaber of Commerce has indorsed the proposal of the dairymen of the district to pool the sale of their product in the city through com mon distributing agency. which will care for the retail end and delivery to consumer.
 The committee, in particular, thought favorably of the plan for crea tion of stock company with S40.OOO capital to handle the distri- button of the milk. This amount was thought necessary 10 carry the pro- ject into execution.
 The idea. which the committee ap- proved, Is to organize a distributing company with $40,000 capital. pre- Yerred stock bearing per cent ln- terest being issued to investors and the dairymen holding the common stock.
 The committee indorsed the plan, whereby each dairyman is to take stock at the rate of $12.50 per cow, paying $2.50 down and $t per month per cow until total Is paid in.
 The committee was unanimous on approval of the pooling plan. Fol lowing were present at the meeting, which lont It's indorsement. j. IL. Pearson, chairman; j. b. Ramsey, Judge J. T. Stokeley, J. L. Lille, coun- fly agent; William Hardie, state dairy specialist; T. J. Jordan, county agent; Ia. T. High, district agent of northern Alabama, and Mir. Marcus.
 General opinion was that much duplication and useless overhead in retailing milk could be obviated by the pooling system.
 Committees are at work outlining details of the plan, and it was con senslxs of opinion that co-opera- tive pooling system would eventuate.
