EXPLAINS CULTURE
OF EASTER LILIES
Indoor Pot Flower Has Scaly Bulb
and Should Be Planted With
Care, Expert Advises.
BY ELLEN EDDY SHAW,

The Easter lily is an example Of a
scaly bulb. We have two types of bulbs,
layered and scaly. Those beautiful
bulbs which bloom in Midsummer in
the garden. like the tiger lily and Ma
donna lily, are scaly bulbs. Easter
lilies are Scaly lilies used for indoor
potting.
The treatment Of the Easter lily bulb
differs from that of the other bulbs in
that it needs no long resting period in
the dark and cold. 1t is also ported
differently. First, IL needs better soil
than the other bulbs. since we wish it
to start its growth at once. So make a
mixture of two parts garden soil and
one part leaf mold or humus. Put a
piece of crock over the hole in the bot
tom of the flower pot.
Having put in your flower pot 2
inches of soil, lamp it down. add a very
thin layer of sand next, and upon this
set the bulb. II the nose Of the bulb is
at level higher than midway of the
pot. take the bulb out and start all over
again, putting in less than the Pinch
layer OF soil After placing the bulb
properly, fill in with soil so that you
just see the nose of the bulb You have
a flower pot only partly filed with soil
and the bulb is way down in it, Place
this pot now in some lneonspicuouS

BUILDING AND LOAN
LAWS ARE REVISED.
81 States Amend Statutes,
While 8 Pass Entirely
New Codes.

Building and loan association laws In
81 States were rewritten or supple
mented and amended in this years
sessions Of the various Legislatures. It
is reported by I. Friedlander. Houston,
Tex, spokesman for the United States
Building and Loan League. Mr.. Fried
lander Is chairman of the leagues Ad-
viSory Committee on State Legislation.
Complete new codes for building and
loan operation were passed by nine
States. Mr.. Friedlander reports. They
are Alabama, California, Missouri. Ne
Vada, New Mexico. North Dakota,
Rhode Island, Oregon and West Viz
ginia.
Alabama and Colorado authorized for
the FIRST time separate departments Of
the State administration for building
and loan.
Laws TO BE Published.
The revised statutes in full will be
published in the 1891 building and
loan annals included in the secretary's
report, now being prepared by the
United States League.
A feature of the new laws In many
States is a revision permitting the as
sociations to increase the amount of
their reserves.
Increasing public interest In build
ing and loan associations can have no
better proof than the attention paid TO
building and loan laws by the Legisla-
lures Of more than three-fourths of the
States this year." said Mr.. Friedlander.
This public interest has led States TO
provide more and more for effective
of these institutions which
serve the dual function of financing

place-if you have a greenhouse. under
the bench; II not, perhaps beneath a
table-and water it about once week.
Soon the leaves will start and the stalk
run up. When the stalk, struggling and
ugly, gets to the top of the pot, fill in
with good soil, the same mixture as you
used before. See what has happened.
You have now buried quite a length
Of the stem. This is done to get rid of
one of the poor features of an Easter
lily plant-that is. its long, struggling
stem. At this time bring the bulb up on
the table in the light. Keep it, If pos
sible, In the sunshine, and after a while
buds will form and break into bloom.
The bulbs should be kept comfortably
watered, giving them more water at the
time of bloom

wheat came out in abundancy. drop
ping July to 60iac, the lowest since
April 80 and 4l4c under the high of
Wednesday. Long corn came out
with wheat and the deferred deliv-
cries went into new ground for the
season. There was a noticeable lack
of support in grain today. July
moved in a range during the past
three days that nearly equalled the
range of the last three months
Glowing reports on winter wheat
and the weakness in stocks were
contributing factors. Some profit
taking and buying against bids with
some short covering and evening
up aided in checking the decline.
Oats fell with the major cereals.
At the close wheat was Is to 1SSc
lower with May &c down, corn was
q TO sc lower and oats were as to

10 points lower on lard with meats

Cash prices were wheat unchanged

May wheat old closed at .82ii,
May corn old at 564, and May oats

The list as whole held within
an extremely narrow range until
shortly before the close when re-
newed selling made its appearance
in Steel common and American
Can. forcing them down to new
low ground for the year on losses
of about two points each. Auburn

an early squirt to 2l5i9.
Dealings in other sections of the
list attracted little attention, dull
ness of the trading suggested a
complete absence of speculative
ton in the market. Turn

level, one of the lightest Saturday
sessions since the bull market in
1924.
About the only comfort the bull
forces could derive out of the days

portant selling pressure in the rail-
road department. Several leaders
Of the group including New York

forced to around their lowest levels

TIRE QUALITY rs NOT IN.
GUIDED IN THIS TABLE FOR
TWO REASONS:
lst, Because no two tires Of the
same brand and size weigh exactly
alike, and
Ind, Because qualify of rubber and
cotton fabric used, rather than the
compounded weight after being
mixed with other ingredients is the
determining factor. Reclaimed or
second hand rubber weighs more
than new rubber. Tires containing
. large percentage of second hand
rubber, therefore, weigh more than
those made entirely of new rubber
even though the tires are exactly
alike in size--so "Keigh, as q

HOLDS INTEREST

Holding almost as much interest
as the main event between Battling
Paul and Joe Contrera, at the I'M
perial Valley Athlet!c club Friday
night, is the semi-final bout be-
tween Ray Golden OF San Diego
and Jimmy Kramer OF San Pedro
Golden came over here a couple
of weeks ago and was matched up
with Louis Reyes. They put on u
great scrap, with q lot OF heavy
slugging before Reyes went down in
the third round. Golden'S solid
smashes made spectators at the
ringSide vince as they landed.
The San Diego boy is the son OF
q teacher at San Diego college and
started his ring career in the coast
city while at high school. Since
turning professional he has had ex-
cellent success and is a big fayorite
in his home town.
Paul and Contreras ought to put
on a great match. The Brawley
colored boy is doing his training at
San Diego, working out with AL
cante and Charlie Cobb, who meet
in the main event at San Diego Fri
day. Paul is working as sparring
partner with both boys and is get
ting plenty of conditioning for his
bout with Contreras.
He will need it, too, for the two
previous fights they have had
showed them to be well matched.
Contreras took the first one but
Paul came back and got a draw
in the second.
Another high school athlete will
be on the card in the person of
Johnny Cavos, former Central
Union football player, who has
turned boxer Johnny stopped Art
Monroy few weeks ago in his first
professional appearance here He
showed enough wallop at that time
to stop a mule and is plenty game,
getting up from the floor in the
first round after Art had knocked
him there.
Lorenzo Reyes, the old warhorse,
will open the show against Pilino
Garcia
