GARDEN TALKS.
The best spring tories come out
Of the ground.
Beets Need Moisture.

The little rough knobby things you
plant as beet seed are really fruits
and most of them contain more than
one seed. That is why you have to
thin bcets, no matter how sparinsly you
SOW. That is also the reason why
there must be- plenty of moisture to
penetrate the fruit and reach the seed.
To insure good termination, the gar
1pners ut the state agricultural college
advise pressing the soil close about the
seeds. Some gardeners when planting
in loose soil even walk along the row
to pack it after planting. The proper
planting depth is about an inch, nut
not more than half that If the soil Is
heavy and quite moist. Reets are COM
monty sowcd rather thickly. The first
Trimmings are used for greens and
later trimmings cooked in the baby
beet root stage. After the last thin

cles apart. Crosby Egyptian is IL stand

the most progressive churches are do
ing. A merchant soon finds that if
his advertising is going to pay, he must
keep his store service up to Il high
standard: and so the advertising
churches of the country have found
that better sermons. better music, and

stranger feel ut home. are necessary to
make church advertising return AIDE

FEAR OF WAR GONE

Sydney. y. 5. w., May 22-A review
of the recent Washington conference
was given here by Senator Peurcc,
-Anstralia's delegate. who was the hon
or guest at Il dinner given by the Get
Together Club at which Il. Summons.
the American consul general. presided.
Premier Hughes, in introducing Sen
ator Pearcc, said that the conference
had removed the present danger of war
and that the hope Of the world lay in
a good understanding between the two
English speaking nations.
Did Not Like "Alien.'
Senator Pcarce said that the most
dlstastcful experience of his American
trip occurred when he was compelled
to write himself down as an '.aIien.'
He said no eloquence could describe the
magnitude of the accomplishments of
the conference.
THE United States and Japan were
drifting fast toward war which
would have been more terrible than
the last war. because there would have
been introduced into it not only the i'm
PIGMENTS of deSt rllction invented and
used during the last war. but others
more destructive than the mind of man
had conceived hitherto" he declared
This was made plain at the confer
cnce.
British Sacrifice.
1t was fine to hear the British, dele
gates agree to the proposal that Britain
should accept naval equality with the
United States. This was terrible sac
riiice for an empire that lived by sea
power. The United State would live
without single ship of war. but it is
vital to the life OF the British empire
that it should manhattan its supremacy
on the seas unless its integrity was
guaranteed in some other way
Il hope that in the near future we
may see the United States Il member
Of the league of Nations. taking part in
the reconstruction of humanity

Stolen Car Recovered.

Bob Gillespie. col, who mer-
chandises and operates d saw mill
on Noxubee. south of the city. had
a Ford car stolen from him about
a week ago, and the car was recov4
cred in Columbus Saturday. A
negro named Alex Young stole the
car and carried it to Tuscaloosa,
Ala, and was operating it as a
jltneY. A negro band employed
him to drive them to Columbus.
On arriving in Columbus it was
necessary to carry the car to a
garage for repairs. After the car
was repaired Alex did not have
enough money to pay it out; so he
sold the car to the garage man for
500. The car was located at the
garage and identified and returned
to the owner. The garage man is
out $50 and the auto thief is a
fugitive.
