SOUTHERN COLONIES IN 1875
Author Believed Strong Tie Existed
Between the Settlements and the
"Mother Country"

Virginia, Maryland, the two Caro-
linas, Georgia-the Southern sweep of
England-in-America- - are cOlonized.
They have communication with one
another and with middle and northern
ngand-in-America. They also have
communication with the mOtherland
over the sea. The greetings of kindred
and the fruits of labor travel to and
fro over the salt, tumbling waves. But
also go mutual criticism and complaint.
Each man." says Goethe, sis led and
misled after fashion peculiar to him
self" So with those mass persons
called countries. Tension would come
about, tension would relax, tension
would return and increase between
Mother England and Daughter Amer
ica. In all these colonies, in the year
with which this narrative closes, there
were living children and young per-
sons who would see the cord between
broken, would hear read the Declara-
ton of Independence. So-but the true
bond could never be broken, for moth

The Spongy Moss Of Labrador.

There was still plenty to see at Ma
tashquan and l took long walk, chief
ly in stunted spruces and in the bog
the barrens or tundras of Labrador
which occupies so much of the country
in the sub-Arctic and Arctic zones. Au-
dubon says in his Journal: ITO tread
over the spongy moss of Labrador is a
task beyond conception until tried; at
every step the foot sinks in a deep,
soft cushion which closes over it, and
it requires a good deal of exertion to
pull it up again. Where this moss
happens to be over marsh, then you
sink couple of feet deep every step
you take; to reach bare rock is delight
full, and quite a relief" In another
place he says: 1--WE crossed a savan-
nah of many miles in extent; in many
places the soil seemed to wave under
us, and we expected at each step to go
through the superficial moss carpet.
These descriptions are very &C.
curate. l should compare the labor to
that of walking in deep wet snow,

Congregational
Church Activities

The regular meetings of the Mission
ary and the Ladies' Aid Societies of
the Grantwood Congregational Church
were held on Tuesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Charles Haage, with a
splendid attendance and the mission
ary chairman, Mrs Cause. and the La
dies Aid Society president, Mrs. Dick
inson, respectively, presiding.
The Missionary Society decided to
hold three afternoon teas to replenlsh
the treasury of that organization and
to aid the various mission boards, and
the first one will be at the home of
Mrs. Dickinson on February 81.
l An article was read about the negro
situation in the mission fields. 1t was
voted to send thirty towels through the
American Missionary Association to a
girls school which needed these arti-
cleS.
In the later meetin.. of the Ladies'
Aid Society it was decided to send a
Sunshine Bag" to a sick woman in
the hospital, the bag to be under the
care of Mrs. William Clark.
Two DuHuFeu anu lily uolldio . was
paid on the mortgage and interest on
the parsonage from the treasury.
The sum of $494.55 was announced
by Mrs. Thayer as the total proceeds
from the recent bazaar, and she read
letter from an absent member, Mrs.
Bradden in regard to articles sent from
Italy for the bazaar, but delayed. Mrs.
Braddon's letter, contained interesting
data concerning the motion picture be-
ing made in Rome by Mr. Braddon, 1O,-
600 people figuring in "the burning of
Rome" which was wonderful effect,
and with four big areoplanes near the
ground making the windstorm.
A letter of thanks was also read by
Mrs. Donaldson from the Orphans
Home for the $40 sent to them for
Christmas.
Between forty and fifty calls have
been made by the calling committee, of
which Mrs. Velsey is chairman.
Mrs. II. B. Joyce and Mrs. Cable

two societies.

Gov. Edwards At
Legion Rally

Hackensack was the scene Of one of
the most momentous rallies ever held
by the American Legion in this vicini-
ty. On last Friday, January 6, there
assembled in the armory and overflow
ing into the streets approximately 5000
Legionnaires, composing members of
all posts in the counties of Bergen and
Hudson.
The band from Governors Island
gave an impromptu concert While ar
rangements for the parade were being
made. Accompanied by detachment
from the National Guard the boys
marched through the main streets OF
Hackensack. The residents and store
keepers poured out INTO the streets and
the traffic was temporarily interrupted.
Back into the armory marched the
men, and the place was soon filled to
capacity. Mayor Baldwin made the
opening speech. Governor Edwards
followed the mayor and repeated his
offer to help all men who had not re-
ceived their bonus. Senator Mackay
followed the governor. His speech was
interrupted by the fire alarm, and the
men had the pleasure of seeing the
Hackensack fire department in action.
Rev. Won Sleeter delivered very i'm
pressive talk, but the most stirring
words were those uttered by State
Vice Commander Feeney.
Vice Commander Feeney in a sincere
and impassoned address deplored the
duplicity of the politicians, who had
promised to do their utmost to further
the interests of the eX-service men and
especially the disabled. The "eats" i'm
mediately followed, and after few
entertaining vaudeville acts the men
left the armJry to use the keys"
which Mayor Baldwin turned over to
them. The julius Zannette Post of
Palisade had a 100 per gent attend
ance, with the exception orabout twen-
ty men.

Cliffside Board of
Educat'n in Session

The tamest school board meeting
held in Cliffside in a long time was
the one held in the high school on last
week. Thursday evening.
Among the business transacted was
that of obtaining shades for the audi
torium windows so that motion pictures
or slides for educational purposes
could be used during the day.
The completion of the new offices on
the balcony of the gymnasium for the
physical training teachers was report
ed. A resolution was offered to pay
Fred Meadler, his bill for those Offices
The payment is being withheld until
release on the lumber used are received
by the board
Mr.. Korsinek. chairman of the fin
ance committee reported. This report
was accepted as read
Because of the difficulties encounter
March, the present board has evolved
a scheme that will give the people a
chance to vote earlier in the day. The
board decided that the election should
start at three o'clock and close at nine.
Janitor Richcreek of the high school
building was on hand and asked that
he be compensated for evenings that
he had been at the school after school
hours. Several board members agreed
with him. Other members disagreed,
and two others stated they would not
approve of further pay to him until
they knew what precedents had been
established. When put to vote tie
resulted.
Superintendent of Schools Hall made
a report. The board then went into
executive session.

Public Health
Community Meeting

AS one Of the features OF Public
Health and Education Week, pro-
claimed for Cliffside Park, a meeting
was held on Monday afternoon under
the auspices of the Civics Department
Of the Woman's Club Of Cliffside Park,
the chairman, Mrs. J. G. Coulter, pre-
siding.
Mrs. Coulter spoke in regard to
health and civic matters, expressing
her opinion of the desirability Of a
baby welfare station for the borough,
then introduced Miss Vanderveer Of
the State Department of Child We'll
fare
Miss Vanderveer told of the work
and object of the department, which
does not assume the care Of the sick
baby but does preventive work, aid.
ing. however, the work Of the nurse
and doctor by showing the mother
how to carry out instructions for her
child's health.
She dwelt on the great Importance
of birth registry for many reasons.
Miss Nickersel Of the New York
tteu STOSS dlSO SpOhe duout HutIilioh
and the adjusting Of the food to the
respective needs of the family accord
ing to age and occupation.
Mrs. Coulter said that our schools
were rated foremost in the state, as
we provide nurse, doctor, physical
training director and a domestic sci
ence teacher, all closely related to the
health Of the pupil, and now the local
Board of Education is providing a
dentist, as the teeth are so associated
with the general health.
The children are regularly weighed
in the schools, and report cards are
kept concerning their weight and loss
or gain.
Three interesting features of the
afternoon were the charming songs OF
Mrs. Banville, accompanied at the pi-
ano by Miss Bowman; the exhibit Of
hygienic meals for all ages shown by
Miss Esther Johnstone and the reel
tations in fine manner by Miss Garri-
son.

smiling affably, waving greeting to

specially each importunate inquirer.
She had able assistance from tall.

have more than the usual complement
Of hands, feet and eyes. Apparently.
he knew all about everything-and
told what he knew more than well.
Skillful shepherding landed the human
stream in the back yard, where, under
huge marker, were heaps and mounds

When they had been duly disposed
of, Miss Jerusha stood upon a hassock,
the tall fellow steadying her, and said
clearly: Listen, folks I'm going to
tell everybody why l went abroad. 1t

copies of copies. But ! have one

out and end the show"
Half a minute and Allie stood blush
ing and beautiful beside the tall
fellow, her hand in his. Miss Jerusha
smiled at them, saying fondly: Here
is my original-a woman absolutely
blissful, married to the right man, and
jOying to love, honor and obey him.

Passaic Champs
Defeat CliHside

The local followers of the Cliffside
High School basketball team who were
disappointed at the showing of the
team in their first games of the sea-
son were well satisfied with the way
the team played against Passaic on
Wednesday, holding the visitors to the
score of 43-7.
The Passaic team found in our local
boys talent that could not be denied.
In passing the Crimson and Black
were the equals of the champions, but
their shooting was dismal indeed. One
position surely has to be REINFORCED
If Cliffside intends to finish the season
brilliantly.
In Coach Blood's eight men who
played the onlookers saw the peers of
any high school basketball players.
These boys seemed to be handicapped
by the low ceiling Of the gym.

Questions and Answers

c. What would you recommend to plant on a poor hillside to pre- vent washing this winter and early spring? I expect to cultivate it next year. B. A. Oneonta.
 A. Rye would answer better than most anything. At least one bushel should be sown to the acre and just dition of 10 to Is pounds of hairy vetch to the acre would be valuable addition to the rye, and if used l would inoculate the seed, as 1t may be done at an additional cost of s1 per acre.
 o. Does inoculation help grain crops in any way? ". C., Roanoke
 A. Bacteria common to all healthy growing leguminous plants does aot benefit grain or grasses except where grown in connection with the le- gumes. When clovers or vetches are grown with grain or grasses, the lat ter naturally partake of more or less of the nitrogen stored up in the seed through the work of bacteria.
 @. Can zinnias be cut and dried for winter bouquets? Miss s.
 A They are not very suitable as they don't hold their original color very well and then they sometimes shed rather badly.
 '. blooming sweet peas iH the house Mrs. s. T.
 A. They are easily grown in green houses but impractical to undertake in a residence because the needed light and regulated heat could not be given. d.. .s.- day, great bushy ones, about three feet tall. loaded with large bell shaped flowers, some blue, some white: they call it balloon flower~> I thought balloon flower was a vine. Do you know what is could be? Mrs. E. F.
 A This hardy, bushy plant is . perennial. known as platycodon. wah- . lenbergia. Chinese bell-flower and balloon flower. It will bloom all summer and will succeed without at tention in hard. dry situations.
 c. How much crimson clover should be sown to the acre? J. C., Haleyville.
 A. All depends on land prepara- tion and the quality of the seed. With high grade seed and thorough preparation. 15>spounds to the acre will give a good stand. American grown seed this year is of poor qua.- ity and low germination and a greater quantity would have to be used to secure stand.
 o. Can you prolong verbena by taking cuttings, roofing them and grow in pots? Mrs. E. T.
 A. Yes, you can. although cut tings of verbena are never so wig orous or free blooming as the plants direct from seeds.
 Q. Could you pot up vinca, grow ing in the yard, and make good house plant out of it? Miss B.
 A. Most varieties of vinca do we'll in pots. You can pinch or cut them hack and make stock plants. They should have some sun every day. preferablylin the morning.
 a. When do you plant the seed of sweet Williams and the various old fashion hardy pinks? Mrs. T. H. "A. They are planted in the fall of fhe year to bloom the following spring and summer. You could plant as early as this month. The plant Is hardy and needs only to be mulched to go through the winter. 4 great many plant seed in boxes in November and December and grow on to set out in spring.

 Lice on TurnIps
 For the last two years the lice on turnips have been so bad as to dis courage many people from planting turnips. The turnip louse br<aphis don't confine himself to turnip tops but Is nearly as bad on radish, cab bage. collards and mustard and Is often found on kale, rape, lettuce and rutabaga. Reproduction is rapid and plants soon become covered, stunted and many are killed outright. Some of the lice assume a wingless form. while others grow wings, and are thus easily distributed over an en- tire field. The insect is pale green ish with some black colorings around the head. They give birth to their young, the female producing from 25 to 100 in months time. These plant lice are not hard to control if prompt measures are taken when first ob- served. A liquid sprayer is needed and the stronger the pressure the better. It is important to reach the underside of the leaves. A strong soap suds made with ordinary laun- dry soap is a fairly effective rem edy in small garden, but if you add teaspoonful nicotine sulphate to each gallon, results are much more prompt and effective. A dust spray known as 40 dust" is also effective.

 Q. Do you believe the fulghum oats to be better than the appler or l our native grown rust proof? J. T., | tHartselle. A. The fulghum is an early tyre
 of beardless rust proof oat, heavy yielder and 10 days to two weeks
 earlier in heading than bearded rust proof types. It is not quite so resis- tant to cold and there would be some danger of it freezing out in your lati- tude. It Is doubtful if it should prove preferable in your section or in north
 Alabama. For spring sowing 1t is superior to appler.
 o. Please publish a good formula for suitable fertilizer for wheat and other small grain? R. C., Boaz. A. The nature or character of the soil would have much to do with an economical formula. The following formula for ton mixture would be very effective on most soils: One thousand pounds, 16 per cent acid

 A. One pound in drills, if properly distributed, would give a stand.

Sings nnd SnaiIs


 There has been a lot of complaint about the sudden disappearing of plants of tender growth, particularly while young, and frequently the trouble is mistaken for cut worms. Many such troubles are due to snails or more often to slugs, closely re- lated species to the common snail. When there Is plenty of rains, or in situations kept moist by frequent watering, the damages from slugs and snails may become serious. These pests may feed on cloudy days. but they are generally hid away during the day time. but they are great foragers at night. They generally leave elistening track where they crawl. very noticeable on boards pr rubbish. They have mouth parts equipped with saw-lise teeth and are very destructive. Fortunately. since they are rapacious feeders. any poison dust, such as used for potato bugs or cabbage worms, will soon kill them out. Tablespoonful arsenate of lead mixed with a quart of dry lime and dusted on plants Is a sure rem edy. Plain air slaked or hydrated lime scattered around where they crawl Is not only destructive to slugs but will run them away.
