ALL BUT THE
BRIDGES
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH


THEY'VE built a road from Pick
ensville,
They've graded up and dressed with
gravel
a better route to Ryan'S mill,
A good hard road for folks to travel.
They've Strengthened out a lot of
bends,
They've fixed it filter than a fiddle,
They've got it finished at the ends
They've got it done, all but the
middle.
You cannot use the road as yet,
There's still a lot of work to follow ;
For here and there you cannot get
Beyond a creek, or through a hol-
low.
Yes, here and there a river flows.
And you will see, when you have
found it,
There amt no way nobody knows
To get acrost it or around it.
Some people build their lives the
same:
They labor hard, make sure OF
riches,
For gold and pleasure, friends of fame,
VIII help them over little bitches.
And then some day they come upon
A ragin' river, darkly fowin', e.
And gold and fame and friends are
gone,
And floods are risin', winds are
blOwin'.
They build their lives without a God,
Perhaps forget, may even doubt Him,
When blue the sky, when green the
sod,
Get very well along without Him.
And then the path dips down the vale,
The way of life has left the ridges,
And then they falter, then they fail
They build their road, all but the
bridges.

THE ROMANCE
OF WORDS
ToT

Upon the tombstone over the
~ grave of Richard Turner,
an English temperance orator
who glorified the virtues of pro
hibition during the early part of
the last century, there appears
the inscription Beneath this
stone are deposited the remains
Of Richard Turner, author of
the word Teetotal as applied to
abstinence from all Intoxicating
liquors, who departed this life
on the 9th day of October, 1916,
aged 80 years"
The story goes that Turner.
who was troubled with a slight
impeachment in his speech, al
ways spoke of "t-t-total absti-
nence" and that his followers
were derisively referred to as
"teetotalers," but Rev. Joel Jew
ell, secretary of a temperance
society formed at Hector, New
York, in 1918, claims that the
word was used in the United
States before it was in Eng
land.
Doctor Jewells explanation OF
the term is that the members OF
his society at first pledged them
selves only to abstinence from
distilled liquors, but that il
1927 a pledge was introduced
binding all who signed it to for
swear all alcoholic beverages
whether distilled or brewed.
The members who adhered to
the original pledge were re-
ferred to as 90. P.'s"-meaning
"Old Pledgers"-while the 9th
ers appeared upon the roster as
CT (Total," an annexation
which soon led to the adoption
of the word 'T-total' as a col
loquialism in that part of New
York. 1t is quite possible that
both explanations are correct,
for the word was apparently
coined about the same time on
both sides of the Atlantic.

PRACTICAL ADVICE
FOR THE GARDENERS
montana A. C. Extension Service)
Strawberries


Every home garden should have its
strawberry patch. Plants should be
secured at once as the early part OF
May is the most desirable time to
set the plants out in Montana. Since
strawberry plants do not stand long
shipment it is best to secure plants
close to home, and Montana plants
are better for Montana conditions.
Many eastern nurseries do not care
to make shipments after the first of
May.
Strawberry plants are usually put
up in punches of Is plants to the
bunch. Since there is a tendency
for the plants to heat and to develop
soft rot, it is desirable Immediately
upon receipt of shipment to break
the punches.
If conditions are not ready for
planting when the plants arrive, they
should be heeled in temporarily. This
is done by selecting a shady place,
digging a shallow trench, placing the
plants side by side in the trench,
covering the roots with soil and firm
ing well.
The ground where the strawber-
ries are to be planted should be care
fully prepared, providing a fine mel
low soil for the young plants. Since
a great many plants are lost because
Of improper planting, this operation
should be performed very carefully.
The strawberry plant should be set
in the ground so that the crown IS
level with the surface of the soil. Too
shallow planting results in the crown
drying out and too deep planting
causes it to rot, either will the
death of the plant. The roots should
be spread out as much as possible n
the soil pressed firmly around them.
A little extra care in planting makes
a great difference in stand.
Of the common varieties the Dun
lap is to be recommended and OF the
e~verbearing kind the Progressive is
meeting with much favor. The latter
ripens throughout the season and IS
especially desirable because OF this
feature. Early frost may kill the
first bloom but others will appear
later, while with the common vari-
cites the destruction of the bloom
means the loss of a crop for the seas
on. An available water supply
throughout the season is necessary
for the best success with the ever
bearing strawberries.
Onions
Onion sets may be planted as ear
1y in the spring as the ground can
be put in proper condition. They
should be planted three inches apart
in rows from one to two feet apart
In protected places, onions set may
be planted in the fall. Such sets are
are intended primarily to furnish
table onions throughout the season
but they may be used for the main
fall crop. The sets should not be
more than three-quarters of an inch
in diameter. The bulbs should be set
right side up in shallow furrow and
the soil pressed lightly about them.
Onion seeds should be planted as
early in the spring as soil conditions
will allow or they may be planted
