Fireworks Draw
Much Applause at
[WaterYille Fair

Fireworks flared brightly last even
ing at the fair grounds in a sparkling
display Of vari-colored flame, crown
ing the festive scene with an efful-
gence delightful to the eyes Of the
spectators. Mammoth sky rockets
whistled high up into the cool air Of
night, tracing symetrical fiery curv-
es that terminated in bursts Of blue,
yellow, red and green gems. Gems of
transient brilliancy, but wonderful
while they lasted. A feature of the
display was a piece that shot into
the air and burst into the colorful
figure Of bird carried by human
figure and which seemed to lay a
golden egg. This perhaps was meant
to symbolic productiveness.
The most magnificent feature, how
ever. was the spectacle of Old Glory
waving in the breeze, brilliant in red,
white and blue fire. This drew a
thunderous applause from all who

Registration Board
Open Until Election

The Board Of Registration opened
yesterday and will now be in open
session daily until election day
The place Of registration is in the
council rooms at the city building
and the hours are 9 A. NJ. to / p
MIS- to 5 P. NJ, and Z to 9 P. NJ.
Several voters were registered
yesterday. which is held to be rattle,
unusual on the opening day. Mrs. H
May Lawrence remarked that II
would facilitate the work of the de-
partment if persons desiring to reg
lister would do so early, and not
wait until the last day.
A new feature of the department
which goes into use for the first time
here at the present session is a card
indexing system arranged alphabet
cally with the male voters and the
female voters kept separately. Three
colors in use make the work Of selec-
ton comparatively easy. Another
change which is expected to work
out well IS the arrangement of the
voting lists by wards. Whereas be-
fore the lists were printed in book
form, they are now printed on large
sheets, a glance at which reveals
instantly the name one wishes to
find.

AND ITS ENTIRONS

planting the names are fresh in our
minds, but as the time passes become
gradually confused and finally hope
lessly forgotten. This is especially
true with amateur gardeners, whose
minds are taken up with various
thoughts. The professional gardener.
on the other hand. living constantly
among his plants. naturally comes to
know them intimately and well.
One good way for the home gar
dener to remember plant names is to
keep a planting record. accompanied,
IL possible, by a crude map. Wooden
labels are transitory, but If painted
each year will endure for long time.
Large stakes are altogether un-
slightly, and small stakes are easily
moved in cultivation and lost. For
most plants which die back to the
ground in the Autumn, the map is
the best record. For shrubs and
trees. stamped aluminium labels, such
as used for peoples names, are ideal,
but often unavailable. Wooden tags,
painted with clear shellac after the
name has been printed on with pencil,
are reasonably durable and may be
attached with copper wire to the
plant. taking care to fasten loosely.
Labelling is perhaps of secondary
importance to many other operations.

CURRANTS AND
COOSEBERRIES

Like the grape, currants and goose.
berries are easily multiplied by hard
wood cuttings taken after the leaves
fall in late Autumn. Tied in bundles,
the cuttings should be buried upside
down in some well drained portion
of the garden and left there until
early Spring, at which time the bun.
dies should be dug up and the indi-
vidual cuttings planted in rows. By
Autumn the plants should be well
rooted and branched and ready the fol-
lowing Spring for placing in the fruit
garden. Propagation of currants and
gooseberries Is so easy that it is un-
fortunate that the fruits, themselves,
are not more worthy Of esteem.
