The Manning Times:
In your issue Of date the 22nd inst.
we read the annual report of the Civic
League. This report is handsome
showing of the accomplishments Of
this organization for the past year.
We are amazed to know that the
ladies through their social features
and the sale of articles of their own
industry, without financial aid from
our citizens, in the face of the finan-
cial distress prevailing, raised so
handsome fund and disbursed it so
worthily.
We understand that Mrs. j. A.
Weinberg has been president of the
League for the past two years and
that her term of office having expir-
ed Mrs. S. Oliver O'Bryan has been
elected as her successor. We feel as
sured that the new president and the
ladies associated with her will do all
in their power to emulate the wonder

VALENTINO FREED
 OF BIGAMY CHARGE
District Attorney Indicates He Will Not Press Case Before
 Grand Jury
By Associated Press

Los Angeles, June 5.--Whether the charge of bigamy against Rudolph Valentino. film actor. dismissed to- day in the township court here, will be taken before the Los Angeles county grand jury still was under consideration tonight. District Attor ney Woolwine said. The official in- dicated that he was disposed to ac- cept the ruling of Justice of the Peace J. Walter Hanby, to the effect that there was slight chance of, con- vieting Valentino. as final.
 Justice Hanby's decision was that while there was no denial of the charge that Valentino married Miss Winifred Hudnut in Mexicali. Lower California, while he still was legally married to Miss Jean Acker, there was insufficient evidence that he lived with Mrs. Valentino number two in California subsequently,. The Cali fornia code provides that in case of an alleged bigamous marriage out side the state, proof of marital rela- tions within the state following such marriage must be adduced in order to sustain the charge. Evidence in Justice Hanby's court was that Val entino and his second bride returned to California and passed two days in cottage at Palm Springs. desert resort in Riverside county. occupy ing separate rooms.
 May Prosecute Others
 MT. Woolwine said he had under consideration the possible prosecution of sey eral other persons who were married in Mexico and had returned to California to live before they had been granted their final decrees of divorce from their first spouses He said that in these cases the CIT cunstances which caused Justice Hanby to dismiss the Valentino com plaint did not exist.
 Valentino, through his attorneys, said he would not under any condi- tions assume marital relationship with the present Mrs. Valentino until the time fixed by law shall have ex- pred, upon which We will be married again here in Los Angeles"
 He said he had invited MT. Wool wine and Deputy District Attorney Costello, who conducted the case be- fore Justice Hanby. to attend the wedding next year. In closing he said:
 There Is tear of regret because of the enforced absence of the woman who has been my Inspiration and counsellor In my art"

AIabamians Are to Confer on Warrior
 Seruiice Tomorrou

Washington. June Especially Alabamians with government off eials will discuss the Warrior river Wednesday.
 Q. T. Ashburn. in charge of inland waterways under the war department, will be present. Charles F. Wood of Birmingham will be present. Rep resentatives ". B. Oliver and John McDuffie and Senator Underwood will participate in the conference.
 It is understood that there must be change in the organic law before the Warrior river barge line can render acceptable service at a profit. This change will result in fairer division with the barge line on the part, of the railroads.
 While no announcement has been made it is believed that the meet ing Wednesday Is for the purpose of devising means whereby the barge line can secure more equitable di- vision of rates with railroads.
 IL Is indicated that the meeting will sponsor. Legislation which will preserve the Warrior against the abandonment which federal authori- ties contemplate next year.

 You can select cuttings out of your own roses or maybe some friend will give you some cuttings. You can re- move any terminal branches in bud or bloom, remove bloom, cutting back an inch or so andamake the cutting slanting with a sharpe Knife, the length to contain four buds or leaf clusters. and don't remove any leaves. These cuttings are to be stuck In sand, two eyes under the sand and two above. These cuttings may be stuck into small pots and the bots buried into box or other vessel of sand. The sand must be kept wet. Place cuttings in the sun, but some protection from evening sun may be desirable. Any leaves on cuttings will soon shed and new buds appear. When well rooted. transfer to larger pots containing good, fertile soil. Shift to larger pots a time or two until large enough to set in the open ground.

remedy to prevent the attack of weevil? c. O, Brundidge.
 A.-Late planting will generally yield the most grain, and the dry peas less weevil. The latter part of June is a good time and July Is not too late. There Is no practical rem edy for spraying the plants to keep down weevil. But It's highly impor- tant to fumigate the planting seed to kill all live or dormant weevils in the seed, because this Is the chief cause of any pea crop being infested

No practical, safe specific remedy has been found, but several things great ly reduce the injury.

 Q.-I am figuring on rose hedge this fall. What varieties are good for this purpose? Mrs B.. Athens.
 A.-The Japanese rose, known as NukOSa, IS cSpeCldlly EOOu, not only for its flower, but for its ornamen- tai fruit. The moss roses and swectbriars are also excellent.

 A.-Cut when three or four flow CTS are open on stalk. Select deep vase and fill with water containing a teaspoonful of lime or soda to the quart of water, Keep in cool, shady place, not dark; change the water daily and prune the bottom stem about an inch every time you change water. Remove promptly all blooms as fast as they begin to deteriorate. The bloom will last week or more under proper management.

 Strange Habits of HydranGens
 The remarkable habit ofs the hy- drangea in changing it's color during it's blooming period, sometimes changing it's color from one season to another. is often puzzling mystery. Many strange opinions are advanced from time to time, most of which have no basis to rest upon. There can he no question but what certain soil clements are responsible for this phenomena, and that chemical reac- ton in the sap has much to do with bringing out the color pigments in flowers. For example. if copperas 6sulphate of iron) be fed to a pink hydranRea the color Is retained and acoentuated throughout the bloom ing period. This shows that iron ac- eentuates red colors, as may also be observed in peaches growing on red soils. containing more or less iron. Copperas has, however. an acid reac- tion and this Is doubtless a cause for bringing out the red color. There are so many exceptions in agricul- tural chemistry that hard and fast rules frequently lead to erroneous conclusions. It is almost certain. though, that acid soils influence red eolors, because when lime is fed to pink hydrangeas, they frequently change to blue. Some hardy species might show an exception.
 Rooting Rose Cuttings
 This is both a pleasant and profit able pastime for all lovers of flowers. Many varieties of roses do well on their own roots and do not have to be grafted or budded on a more hardy root stock to succeed. If any one presents you with nice bunch of roses. why not try your hand at roofing the stems? It's easily done.

 A,-Scot does promote healthy growth. It brings out and accen- tuates the colors in flowers, deepens and brightens the color pigments in foliage, making the foliage glossy and showing off the entire plant to the best advantage. Try it around chrysanthemums and note the diff ference.
