NOW Is A GOOD TIME TO
PLANT A ROSE GARDEN

No matter what you may now have
in your garden, it does not seem
quite complete without the rose gar
den. II may be that you want few
rose buds for home decoration, or a
few blooms to send sick friend,
all of these could be available from
| your own rose garden. Why not
| take advantage of these warm days
and prepare that rose garden now.
The most important thing to take
into consideration is the proper site.
II should be exposed to full sunshine
and away from roots of trees or
shrubs. The soil should be well
drained. The beds should then be
spaded up to a depth of about Is
inches or even "a inches.
Any reasonably fertile soil is all
right for roses, however, they pre-
fer "a heavy texture of soil but this
is not absolutely necessary. If a
supply of well rOtted manure. is
available, il can be used to great
advantage in a liberal quantity. pro-
vided that il is. thoroughly mixed
with the soil.
Where the roses are to be planted
i'm the beds Immediately, it is well
to tamp in two feet of prepared soil
to prevent them settling later, but
this settling should be anticipated
by filling in about two inches above
the grade of the surrounding terri
tory.
Early planting permits the cheap
er, or field grown plants, TO be used
but these should not be used after
the foliage appears.
Although there are several classes
of roses we shall, to avoid confusion
to the amateurs, we shall COnfine our
references to the most popular sorts
the hybrid perpetuals, or June
roses. and the hybrid teas are the So
called ever blooming varieties. AL
though not suitable for. cutting pur-
poses, the sO-called Baby Rambler"
roses bloom more prOfusely than the
hybrid teas and are frequently used
where color is wanted from June
until frost. They make low compact |
bushes and may also be used to give |
4 touch of color for a shrub border |
planting.
We are listing below some of the |
most popular sorts of hybrid perpet-
uals: f. X. Druschki (white). Cen

TEMPTED by BAD LITERATURE

A Is year old boy was recently ac-
cused at Akron, Ohio. Of writing
threatening letters which attempted
the fantastic plan of extorting $685.
600 from Mrs. Charles A. Lindbcrgh.
The judge put HON in parole. hold
ing that he was not bad boy, but
he had read too many imaginative
] stories.
Boys have always been getting in
trouble from this cause. Years ago
they read dime novels about pirate
chiefs, and some of them ran away
to go TO sea, or seek other wild ad
ventures. II is easier to try some
crazy scheme around home to extOrt
money from someone now. than il
was to join pirate. chief in the old
days, so more boys are being misled
by such fantastic temptations.
What are we going to do with
many boys in Delaware who get
such suggestions from bad litera-
ture or other sources? Some people
blame the newspapers for printing
too many crime stories. But the
people will always want to know
what is going ON. SO long as crimes
are committed. the newspapers will
have to record them.
The parents of a restless boy can
meet that situation. Give the kid
something to 90. If he is interested
in becoming a good player at base
ball. tennis. golf. or any other game.
that will quiet the stewing fever in
bis brain.
Or any kind of work will do. if
he has some incentive to tackle it. |
Let him cultivate a garden in the |
back yard. II you haven't any room
there, or have no back yard. ask
some neighbor or vacant lot owner
to let him have little land. Pay the
hoy for his vegetables il you can,
to give him motive for
industry. Boys whose minds are
full of some active idea are not GO
ing in for dangerous stunts.

CLIMATE GROWING WARNER

Weather observations are said to
show some tendency to warmer
weather in spring. autumn, and
winter at least, which has cOntin-
uod for about 25 years. The older
people have been claiming for years
that the winters are not as severe as
formerly.
The general impression of scien-
tific observers has been that wealth
Ell changes average up in a period of
years. and that if we have warmer
weather for some time, then a per-
iod is sure to come when the wealth
er will be colder. But testimony
seems to come from many sources
indicating a tendency during recent
years toward warmer winters with
less snow in the cold climates.
No confidence can be felt that
this is a permanent tendency, until
It has continued many more years.
But if its does represent a perma-
nent change, due to mysterious
forces not yet ascertainable, it will
have pronounced effects on our in
dustries and habits.

Many localities that can

ALMOST OUT OF BREATH

The speed with which Congress
las acted ON several matters of the
most rar-reaching Importance. al

The country has become used from
time immemorial, to seeing the leg
islators act with prolonged deliber-
alton, if indeed they could be per-
suaded TO act at all. Delay, linger
and dawdle appeared to be the usu-
al notices.
Statesmen have been permitted to
make long winded speeches having
little or nothing to do with the
points at issue. The people have
fumed and fretted. They have re-
garded these ways as the inevitable
foibles of politicians, something like
bad weather that had to be endured,
but could not be helped.
They have complained bitterly
that private business concerns
would not let their affairs drag on
in so diIatory a fashion. but would
put through in a few weeks action
which Congress would consider for
years.
And now we see Congress acting
with a speed even greater than that
which private business manirests.
We see great acts of legislation.

HOME PLEASURES

Some people can't conceive OF
having a good time, unless they are
blowing in a lot of money. They
must be tearing around somewhere,
burning up tankful of gasoline. OF
getting thrills at some show, before
they are satisfied.
There is another way to satisfac-
tion which gives happiness at little
OF no cost. That is the beautiiiea-
tion of your home place. That tree
that you set out few years ago.
that Towering shrub that will bios
som in few weeks, these touches
of beauty give you thrill every
time you look at Them The home
place becomes more dear. as you
watch the progress of these orna-
ments which represent your loving
touch.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
SnNNVl

q wish you would tell me whats
the matter with Sonny?" said a lady
to friend the other day. "If he sits
on the ground five minutes, he gets
cold" As those colds frequently
mean a hurry call to the doctor man.
and as the family is miserable while
his temperature does the high kick
ing act, the matter is serious. Be-
sides, Sonny sometimes gets serious
illnesses from these colds.
Don't know what's the matter
with that particular Sonny. But
many other Sonnys get those colds
because the family maintains hot
house. in which the air is baked by
too dry heating If you cook the SEN
sitive tissues of your body, they
aren't doing their work kicking the
disease germs out of your system.

BLOSSOM TINE IN DELAWARE

April is the season when lower
Delaware is beautiful picture in
the great art gallery of nature. The
first week of the month is the time
when that portion of our beautiful
little State, awakens from the win
ter's sleep between the two great
bodies of salt water forming the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula, the Delaware
and Chesapeake Bays. and it is then
that the pear trees cover the bran
ches with snowy white blossoms.
that the gorgeous pink magnolias,
or tulip trees, stand out III beauty
of bloom, the plum trees rObed in
white mantels of bloom, all make
pictures lovely to look upon; while
the green of wheat fields. meadows
and highways are besprinkled with
the yellow dandelions, violets and
bloom of the swamp bushes. all
woven into charming picture. To
this is added the sparkling waters
of scores of little lakes and streams,
which to the eye of lovers OF nature,
are far more delightful than the
rugged rocks and towering peaks of
the mountains.
Delaware is beautiful State Yes.
d very beautiful State for those who
can see. who can understand and
appreciate what nature has done for
one of it's fine spaces of any land.
Blossom time in Delaware is far
more beautiful than the we'll adver-

Washington. For this picture is sup
plemeuted by flowers of field and
woodland; the birds which make

Delaware an ideal, dream picture |
of beauty and happiness of Della

the beauties which Delaware, from
