 You should not succeed
 l Q. What about taking up plants In flower now in the open ground, trans
 1errlng them to window boxes so they can be protected from the cold
 and have the pleasure of their blooms much longer? Mrs. D. o. A. This sounds good, and it would | be possible with some plants, but it s
 no easy thing to successfully do. Most l plants would have to be cut back rather severely and great care exer-
 cised in taking up and transplanting. 1 .. l have small g'assed-in porch
 or conservatory and most all of my
 tender plants are bothered with little green bugs or lice, and some other insects. Spraying don't seem to alto gether control. What would you ad- wise? Mrs L.
 l A. Secure some tobacco dust or
 stems and soak pound to the gallon of water for two or three days, stir ring occasionally; then dip the foli- | age Into the tobacco water. A little soap added to the water makes it more effective. The strength of the
 tobacco varies and it may be advis- able to reduce the tobacco extract with water. The color of the tobacco | water should be about like strong
 tea. Dip plants every week or 10 days until insects disappear. There
 is no danger in dipping the entire plant pot and all.
 Q. l harvested a few bushels of
 sweet potatoes from my garden and
 stored them in a basement, but some | are beginning to rot. Can anything i be done to check this? M. G. s. | A. If the disease was inherited | from infected plants, which is very | likely 1t is real difficult and very doubtful if much can be done. would assort very carefully and re- move all decayed ones or even suspi- cious ones. Then dust the remainder with equal parts of common sulphur and fine air-slaked or hydrated lime. Exclude light, but free air circula- tion is needed.
 Q. Is there such a thing as real scarlet rose? Miss B.
 A. Some very few roses have been developed that are classed as scarlet but only in the last few years. Some old authors claimed that it would
 never be done, but nothing seems inn possible in plant breeding. Other shades of red are plentiful, but scar | let is still rare in roses J. B. Clark is one of the best scarlets.
 Q. Can you improve or strengthen the stems of roses and chrysan- themums by using certain kinds of fertilizer? E. J. L.
 A. judicious use of fertilizers, rich in potash and phosphates, does greatly add to rigidity of all plant structure, including Towering stems. but other factors are needed. such as good cultivation, adequate pruning,
 and general good living conditions. See letter.
 Q. What grass would you SOW in
 woodslot for pasturing a COW? And
 would like to mix in some suitable clover. How much of each would be
 required, and when should it be sown? J. H. B., Route B.
 A. Try orchard grass. red top and alsike clover. An acre would require 10 pounds orchard grass, five pounds red top, and five pounds alsike clover. Sow anytime in November; the sooner the better.

MOBILE FACTIONS CLASH AT POLLS
 OVER WATCHERS
Judge Holds That Independent Democratic Party Had No Status at the Election.
 Mandamus Sought

Mobile, November Specially The Mobile county independent dem ocratic party had no official status as such when it entered the general election Tuesday and sought tC elect Arthur D. Davis as sheriff, accord ing to a ruling of Judge Saffold Ser ney of the circuit court as time neared for the closing of the polls of the county today.
 The ruling came in the hurriedly prepared petition for mandamus instigated by the Davis ftrces in an effort to prevent Sheriff William H. Holcombe from interfering with T number of watchers, who, it was all legged, had been detailed by Candi- date Davis.
 Judge Berney sustained the peti ton of State Solicitor Bart T, Chamberlain for quashing the peti- tion, and in a decision sustained all demurrers to the original mandamus petition of the Davis committee and MT. Davis as a candidate.
 Solicitor Chamberlain who was as- sisted in defense of the action of the sheriff in ejeeting watchers from the polling places by Jack Courtney, assistant, and D. B. Cobbs, chairman of the county democratic executive committee, presented to the court seven reasons for the quashing Of the petition, and gave six demurrers.
 The opinion of Judge Berney was concurred in by Judge Joel Goldsby, who was requested to sit In Judg- ment when the nandamus case came up at 3.30 o'clock in the afternoon.
 Direct Victory
 The opinion, considered a direct victory for those who contended that the independent candidate had no rights because the party does not exist as required by state stat utes, informed Sheriff Holcombe, however. that he was without au- thority to eject the Davis watchers from the polls without request from the election inspectors. It was held that the inspectors were in full cen trol of the election and that the sheriff. constituted an authority to enforce all laws, would be duty bound to eject the watchers when asked to do so by the election of ficers.
 Hardly had the opinion been rem dered until all watchers, it was stated. had been informed they had no legal status as watchers, and they were taken from the polling places.

Questions and Answers

Q. You speak of mulching shrubs for winter protection. What is the best material to use? Mrs J. A. Ordinary leaves that are now falling are freely available and about
 the best thing that could be used Leaf mold containing a lot of decay ing leaves or other vegetable matter is splendid. Cottonseed hulls are use
 full. Fresh manure or any highly stimulating fertilizer must be avoided like poison.
 Q. Is it now too late to set out the
 winter onion shallots? A. M w. A. No, but shallots are now scarce and not easily obtainable. Regular
 onion sets that produce the large onions are obtainable. and it's a good time to set out.
 o. Win you please tell me the
 prices in Birmingham of the different
 grasses and clover seed? What will cowpeas bring in the Birmingham
 market? T. w.. Dadeville. A. Definite information of this
 character cannot be given in this

 lady who has just returned from an extended European trip came to see the writer the other day and asked the question; Why 1t was that every place she went in Europe she saw the most beautiful home gar dens and flowers upon top of flow CTS every place, no matter whether 1t was the most humble sod covered house In Great Britain or the most ambitious castle? She was en- thusiastic. She said the same condi- tions obtained in Germany, Holland, and France.
 It made her sick to contrast the deselate front and back yards and general aspect of the majority of homes in the Birmingham district. When I told her that I did not know, she seemed surprised. and I don't know the underlying cause. I have seen numbers of efforts to explain these well-known facts, but none that seemed to be conclusive.
 I do know, though, that conditions in this respect are steadily improving in the south, particularly noticeable in Birmingham to those who have re- sided here for the past % or 30 years.
 If Birmingham ever gets able and in notion to beautify her scandal ously neglected parks. it may set an example to her citizens that will re- suit in real city beautiful.

BINGHAM COUNTY CAN
HELP SAVE ITSELF

At the present time with prospects
for as heavy crops as we have ever
had there is now the poorest pro-
spect we have ever had for freight
transportation. The railroad strike
may be broken at any time, the men
may 60 back to work, but the
prospects are that the repairing OF
railroad equipment and keeping 1t in
working order will depend on their
finding new men to put on the task.
At this time the trains are rum
ming on schedule, but at sacrifice
that the public does not very well
understand. The auditors and man
ayers and clerks leave their own
work and are doing work on the
yard and in the shops to. keep the
trains running, but this cannot last
very long. When the heavy ship
ments Of grain and potatoes begin
next month and in September these
men will be needed at their desks
and larg numbers Of men will be
NEEDED to do the yard work, the car
work and the shop work.
The present railroad strike is diff
ferent from most Of the strikes we
have been accustomed to. In most
cases the men were asking for
higher wages because they were not
getting enough or they were asking
to have existing wage scales main
tanned. In this case the strikers are
asking that the reduced prices OF
things shall be born by other people
but not themselves. They are I'M
willing to, share in the great reduc-
tion of prices and they are unwill-
ing to leave their work and let any
body else step in and fill the places.
President Harding has issued a pro-
clamation on the matter in which he
says that, it is the privilege of every
railroad employee to leave his job,
but it is not his privilege to prevent
anybody else from stepping into it.
1t is the right of the employee to
decline to work at the wages Of
fered, it is the right Of every other
man who is willing to accept such
wages to step in and do the work
without being molested. The pres

The True Poem.

Some people Imagine that any fine
thought is poetry, but there was never
greater mistake. A fine thought, to
become poetry, must be seasoned In the
upper warm garrets Of the mind for
long and long, then it must be brought
down and slowly carved into words,
polished with love. Else 1t is no true
Grayson.
