He handed the paper over to johnson
with a finger pointing to paragraph
which had caught his attention. john

"Mr. James SanderSon, j. p, OF

Sadler, j. p, of Barowsburgh, as chair
man and director. respectively, OF the
Northern 81 Imperial Mutual Benefit
Society, have just left England for the
Argentine, where the society has large
interests. Messrs. Sanderson and Sad
Ter, who expect to be away several weeks,
informed a representative of the press
just before leaving York that the So

thought of was that from the time at
which Madison had ascertained that
Sanderson had never returned to his
house he, Madison, and the police had
raised a regular hue and cry over the
country for him at Mai. Anstie's order
and that nothing had come OF 1t. Now
If 5anderson and Sadler had been in
York, as the newspaper paragraph sug-
gested-
'It wouldn't surprise me if these
two never left England" he exclaimed
suddenly.
That's about it."
Nothing would surprise me in con-
nection with this case" declared Sill
verstein calmly.

johnson went away full of thought
an back to Barowsburgh, where he sat
late into the. night telling his story to
Engleden and Shoreham and discussing
their next movements, and as a result
OF their midnight conference he went
next morning to Madison and told him
as much as he thought it good that
Madison should know
I'm aware of the existence of that
society, of course" remarked Madison.
ITS not much known about here. The
head Office is in York and the business
Is in the big industrial towns. But Mr..
Bratten is director. Let's ask him
what he knows"
Bratten, a quiet-mannered, very COM
monplace man, confirmed the news
paper report. He had known of the in
tended visit of Sanderson and Sadler
to the Argentine for some weeks. The
society had invested a great deal of
capital there. No, he didn't know from
which port his two fellow directors had
sailed that hadn't concerned him.
He didn't know either If Mrs. Sander
son had gone with her husband. Prob
ably she had. And-that was all he
Gid know.
There was no more open to john

afternoon. He took Engleden and
Shoreham to Harrington and introduced
them to Silverstein Silverstein took
them into the cattle market in the
character of interested spectators.

GARDEN ITEMS

Parsnips that have overwintered in
the garden are now at their best and
should be used promptly. Once the
foliage starts, the desirable sweet flavor
is rapidly lost. At one time it was quite
generally thought that parsnips had
to freeze to be at their best, but expert
ments conducted by the horticulturists
OF the University Of Maryland showed
that temperatures just above 80 degrees
Fahrenheit were highly effective In
bringing about changes in quality. The
principal change is the breaking down
of the insoluble starch into sugars. In
late March and April when the roots
begin to grow again, the change is in
part reversed, the sugar turning back
into starch.
The question often arises as to how
early In the Spring it is safe to remove
leaves or other mulch from the
perennial beds. The gardener is con-
fronted with two hazards, one of freez-
ing injury and the other of smothering
the young growth under the mulch.
Partial uncovering would be a happy
solution in many cases but is not al
ways practical. Fortunately most of
the overwintering plants are naturally
pretty hardy and of the two hazards,

THE HOME GARDENER
LINING THE SOIL

In a short talk on the use of lime
about the small city or suburban home,
presented at the February meeting OF
the Takoma Horticultural Club, H. w.
Warner Of the National Fertilizer Asso-
citation spoke of the man-made cover
ings Of snow that may be seen about the
city at this season, referring, of course
to the lime which many home gardeners
annually broadcast over their place with
the approach OF Spring. The particular
points brought out by Mr.. Warner are
that the use Of lime may be easily over
done and that with certain plants any
lining of the soil is distinctly harmful.
Bluegrass, the most desirable plant in
gredient in the lawn, requires moderate
lining, but not to the point of removal
Of all acidity. If enough lime is applied
to neutralize the soil or carry the process
further and render 1t alkaline, various
weeds, dandelions, plantain and clovers,
II the last may be called weeds, will
thrive to the detriment of the blue
grass. Mr.. Warner spoke of the litmus
paper test for acidity, rough means of
determining the condition Of the soil.
This test is approximately as follows: A
small lump OF moist soil is rolled into
the shape of q ball then cut in two and
q piece of blue litmus paper placed
within. If the soil is acid the paper
will quickly turn pink. AS most of the
SOL IN THIS vicinity Is naturally aclo,
the change to pink may be confidently
expected in most cases except where
lime has been applied in the past.
Early Spring is very desirable time
of year TO apply lime. Late Autumn is
even better If one is using hydrated
lime, the usual form to be obtained in
hardware stores. Hydrated lime is gen.
orally used. according to Mr.. Warner.
in about two-thirds the quantity of
ground limestone, a reasonable applica
ton of the hydrated lime being about
one pound per 40 square feet and OF
ground limestone one pound per IS
square feet. Mr.. Warner stated that
in his garden much of the lime used
was applied in the compost heap where
It fastened decomposition and at the
same time ultimately benefited the soil.
Rhododendrons, azaleas and many ma
tive plants are injured by lime. Vege-
tables are, as rule. greatly benefited,
so that lime may be broadcast over the
vegetable garden with safety and benefit.
The promiscuous use of lime, it may
be plainly seen, is not at all advisable.
Lime is not q panacea for the garden
and lawn, but must be used with con-
siderable discretion If one is to reap
the maximum benefits.

smothering is perhaps the more likely
to do injury.
With forsythia breaking into bloom,
early Towering honeysuckle in full
bloom, and here and there a daffodil
showing its color, one could be excused
for thinking Spring to be here. I'm
fortunately there are a few weeks of
doubtful weather before us yet. But for
the real gardener these are not idle
days, the seed of various plants may
now be sown indoors or in the hot bed,
plants that need moving can be trans
planted advantageously, drainage tile
may be put in to improve the condition
of the soil in low spots, lime, fertilizer
and manure may be applied, and spad-
ing of the soil is easier in the cool days
of March than in the warmer days
later on

TRADE UNIONS HAVE DROP.
Hand Book Compares Membership
of 1899 With That of 1925.

Trade union membership was some
what smaller in 1929 than in 1925, ac-
cording to a summary of the latest edi-
ton of the Handbook of American
Trade Unions. published by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. Unions in the
American Federation Of Labor, however,
report an increase of 126,430 over the
figure for 1926. The aggregate mem
bership of all trade unions, both within
and without the American Federation
of Labor, in 1929 was 4,331 ,251.
Since 1925 10 national organizations
have passed out of existence, but most
Of these were small dual organizations
which have been absorbed by larger
bodies. and during the same period
three new dual organizations have de-
veloped in different fields. The great
est increases in membership are re-
ported in the construction industry and
in public service.

shortly before the offense was com
mitted, they agreed to stick together
and 1t further discloses that they have
not always conducted themselves in
the way that young girls who are at
tending the public schools should. The
witnesses have stated that they were
told that they must come here and
tell the truth, or that they would be
dealt with as delinquent minors. Now,
it seems to me that whether the
County Attorney OF the juvenile off,
Ger here gave any further admonition
or instruction to these girls, there
should have been some others in ad-
dition to telling the truth in this
case. They should also have been
told that if they wished to avoid M
delinquency charges, that they con-
duct themselves as pure and virtu-
Gus as girls should, and it would
rather seem to NEE if they propose to
stick together from now on, that they
better stick together in an effort to
mend their ways and to live as pure
and virtuous girls and as those
who should be in the public schools
are expected to live. Now, / do not
mean to say that with any-in a spirit
of criticism of them, or condemna-
ton OF them, nor with any belief that
they are not, but they at least said
that they had previously partaken of
whiskey to such an extent that they
did not hesitate in declaring the
drink that they had there at that time
to be whiskey, and if they do con-
tinue-if they don't refrain from
that, they will bring sorrow to them
selves and their parents and may
make it necessary, in spite Of any
promise that the officers here may
have given them at the time of their
first delinquency came to their at
tention-may make it necessary for
the protection of other young girls
in the public schools to look further
into their conduct.

WATCHING FOR THE MAIL
Your Poem in the Herald,

And no doubt you are Disguised,
Scarcely knowing what to do.
Living out there in the snow drifts
Surely isn't any fun,
Awaiting for your mail man,
That seems to never come.
For when the winters chilling, breezes,
Coming swiftly DER the plain,
Fills ones very soul with anguish,
And fairly adde's up your brain
And the snow keeps piling higher
Seems to mount most to the sky,
Why Of course you want the mai
then,
Just to help the time go by.
And surely one would be discouraged
Waiting, looking day by day,
For Uncle Samuels servant,
For he surely draws his pay.
SO just a few more words I'll ven
ture
In a kindly friendly way,
If you can't improve your system,
Then I'd simply move away.
Come down to the Dagmar country,
Where the service can't be beat.
Every day the mail is carried,
Thru the storm of snow and sleet.
Just one day in five long years sir,
Has our carrier failed to g..
Can you wonder that we're boasting
our u service?
I'll say no.
Why would n want to change the
system.
This one question, now l beg,
And our most efficient carrier
Let me say is Henry Legge.
He is kind and he's obliging,
Coming promptly every day.
So if it's service you are wanting
Move to Dagmar right away.
