Red Cross Roll Call
Heard World Around

The Annual Roll Call Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross for registration of the
membership for 1928 will begin on
Armistice Day, November IL, and
close on Thanksgiving Day, November
80. The ground work fer this stu
pendous task of re-enrolling the mem
bership throughout the world has been
laid in a plan for the first complete
and comprehensive system of registra-
ton of the Red Cross membership in
all its $500 active Chapters at home
and abroad.
An important feature of the round
the-wOrld Roll Call campaign will be
q universal effort to re-enlist the serv-
ice of wartime Red Cross workers in
the peace program by their partici-
patton in the Roll Call. In this way
the vast army of volunteers will once
more affiliate with the work of the
Red Cross in it's manifold phases. Co
operation also has been assured by
Government and private maritime In
terests in a deep-sea Roll Call that
Is designed to reach every member
or potential member in every part of
the world who may be en- voyage or
temporarily in any port.
Thousands of Chapters will adopt
the home canvass plan of enrolment
which originated in Pittsburgh, where
last year it resulted in a membership
increase of so per cent. All records
in this years campaign will be kept
en- standard size cards to be filed by
each Chapter for future use.

ASPARAGUS MUST
HAVE RICH SOIL
DeliCaCy viii Grow in Drained
Ground If Plant Food Is
Properly Applied.
ROOTS BETTER Than SEED
Spring Is Good Time to Transplant
Shoots May Be 5lanched by Ridg-
ing Up over Rows With
Loose Sandy Soil.

Asparagus should have q place in
every home vegetable garden where il
will thrive. This crop can be grown
on almost any well-drained soil, but
will do best on a deep, mellow sandy
loan, says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. There is little
possibility Of having the land too rich,
and liberal applications Of partly rot
ted barnyard manure should be made
before the plants are set. The seeds
Of asparagus may be sown during the
early spring in the rows where the
plants are to remain and the seedlings
thinned to stand ii inches apart in the
row at the end Of the first season. It
is usually most satisfactory to pur-
chase two-year-Old roots from some
scotsman or dealer. The roots should
be transplanted during the late au-
tumn or early spring.
Before setting out the plants, the
land should be loOsened very deeply,
either by subsOil blowing or deep spad-
ing. 1t is a good plan to remove the
tOpsOil and spade manure into the sub
soil to depth of IA or 10 inches; then
replace the tOpsoil and add more
manure. There are two methods Of
setting an asparagus bed, depending
entirely upon the kind Of cultivation to
be employed in the garden. If the
garden space is limited, the plants
should be set in a solid bed, one foot
apart each way. In setting asparagus
the crowns should be covered to a
depth of four or five inches.
The part Of the asparagus used as a
vegetable is the young shoot that is
thrown up during the early spring.
The shoots are removed when about
four or five inches in length by cutting
slightly below the surface Of the
ground, but care should be taken that
the knife is not thrust at an angle or
the crowns will be injured. If so de-
sired, the shoots may be blanched by
ridging up over the rows with loose
sandy soil or By allowing the mulch to
remain and the shoots to make their |
way through it; but unblanched as

BIGGEST AND BEST PHOTOPLAY

Next Wednesday and Thursday ever

realistic in Douglas Fairbanks in
Robin Hood" new photoplay sensa-
ton. Everyone of us, at one time or
another, has allowed, his thoughts to
drift back ''to the days of old when
knights were bold" and have let the
imagination run riot in seeking to pic
ture those olden times. And always in
our dreams there was the picturesque
castle where the bold knights and
their ladies lived and breathed a life
Of romance. At last that dream cas-
tie is a reality! When Douglas Fair
banks undertook to make the produc-
ton, douglas Fairbanks in Robin
Hood" the first thing he wanted in
that picture was just such a castle, so
that we of the Twentieth Century
might be transported back 800 years
to the days of chivalry where bold
knights fought for their lady loves. To

paragus always has a better flavor
than blanched, is more easily produced
and is more satisfactory for home use
Too heavy mulching has a tendency to
retard the growth Of the shoots by
keeping the ground cold until late in
the spring.
No shoots should be removed the
first year the plants are set in the
permanent bed, and the period Of cut
ting should be short the second year.
After the second year the plants be-
come well established, and with proper
-fertilizing and care the bed will last
indefinitely. During the cutting sea,
son all the shoots should be removed,
as the roots will cease to throw up
shoots as soon as one is allowed to ma
