Scott Serviss
Gives Advice On
Dahlia Growing

The HenderSonvillc Garden club
heard w. Scott Serviss describe
dahlia growing in great detail last
night at the city hall.
Mr.. Serviss, who has shade n
reputation for growing and breed
ing fine dahlias at his home on
the west side of the highway at
Mountain Home, gave his audi
ence the benefit of several years
of intense study on the subject Of
dahliaS.
The gist of his talk follows:
Break ground ut least II
inches deep and subsoil deeper If
possible, so as to provide good
drainage, which will prevent rot
of the bulbs. Fertilize well. Cow
stable manure is preferred. II
well rotted. Don't let any kind OF
fertilizer come in direct contact
with the tuber. A good corn fer
tilizer is satisfactory. Potash,
phosphoric acid and bone flour IN
equal parts make a good balanc,.
ed plant diet, about one handfull
to the hill six to 10 inches from
the plant. Fertilize about every
two weeks until plants begin to
bloom. Mulch heavily and discon-
tinue weekly cultivation when
blooming starts.
"Plant anytime from April l5
to July. Dahlias planted early SUI
fer much from hot sun OF July
and August. They like cool nights
and some prefer some shade.
Don't get in habit of watering
dahlias unless they are suffering
from drought. Don't cut flowers
in sun. Best time is early IN
morning when fresh with dew or
late in afternoon and place IN
cold water in cool place. 80,
"Let roots stay in ground untli
after killing frost. Don't wash.
Knock off loose dirt. Cut off stem
near tubers, turn stem down when
storing for winter. Plant tubers
four or five inches deep. Avoid
crust on hill before plant comes
up. Cultivate dirt gradually to
plant during growth. q,
"New varieties are produced
from seed which may be grown
or bought from seed houses.
There is no certainty as to what
will be produced from seed but
tubers can be depended upon in
most instances to produce true to
their type. Soil, fertilizer and eli
mate all influence dahlias.
A demonstration in dividing tu-
bers so as to contain eyes Tor

Mems Club Talks
War And Peace
Problem of Moral Conduct
Theme of April Meet

The April meeting of the Mems
club of st. James Episcopal
church, held Tuesday night at the
parish house. was featured by an
address by George H. Valentine
in which he reviewed and COM
mented on a book Of lectures
given by the Archbishop Of York,
during his visit to America last
year.
His discussion was devoted to 4
brief view of the relation of re-
ligion and philosophy, closely in
terwoven, but at times antagonis-
tic, then to a standard of ethics
as set forth by the archbishop,
who maintained the view that
there is no absolute standard OF
right and wrong in conduct.
Much Of the discussion after
ward ranged to war and peace
and the ethical problems involved
and to the apparently impending
war situation in Europe.
II. II. Ewbank, the president,
presided and appointed a program
committee comprising Mr.. Valen-
tine. p. +. Patton and Henry At
kin.
Refreshments were served by
Mrs. James p. Burke at the close
of the discussions.

Plot To Free Palestine From British
Rule Foiled; Spy Ring Is Smashed

JERUSALEM, April IA. (UP).
A plot TO free Palestine of Great
Britain's rule by revolution was
revealed today by police.
Aid of the British Royal Air
Force was sought in smashing an
espionage ring which police charg-
cd was fomenting the movement.
The revelation was made while
secret agents through the Near
East searched for a beautiful

completes of Reuben Schenzvit,
alleged gun-runner and one-time
salesman for the late Sir Basil
Zaharoff.
simultaneously Schenzvit, alleg-
cd leader of the espionage ring,
went on trial on charges that he
murdered Jacob Zwanger, former
Russian vice commissar, because
"he knew too much" Zwanger's
body was found in the basement
of Schenzvit'S home.
Police charged that Zwanger
was killed when he discovered the
connection between Schenzvit'S
smuggling, the planned uprising
and illegal transfer of money by
Jews from Germany. Police be-

LONDON, April l4.-(UP).--
Warships of five nations riding the
choppy waters Of the Bay Of Bis
cay today brought closer the men
ace of an international incident
which might explode international
hatreds caused by the Spanish
civil war.
Mightiest of all was the British
battle cruiser Hood, biggest in the
world. It poked it's l5-inch guns
toward the loyalist seaport o. Bill
bao where Gen. Francisco Fran
co.'s naval blockade threatens
thousands Of Basques with starva-
ton.
France last night adopted Great
Britain's conciliatory attitude to
ward the rebel blockade and
warned all French shipping to
stay away from Bilbao, Santander
and other Biscay ports.
Paris sent a crisp warning to
Franco, however, that any inter
ference with French ships outside
Spanish territorial waters would
bring "forceful retaliation"
The rebel cruiser Almirante
Cervera repeated monotonously
over its radio:
"Any Spanish or foreign war;
ships entering Spanish waters
along the Biscay coast will be Ia
ken prisoner or sunk"
The warning was picked up by
IL neutral warships dispatched to
the Biscay coast.
Germany sent two cruisers.
Norway sent q mine layer. France
patrolled the three-mile limit with
sleek destroyers and the Spanish
rebels strung q barrier across Bill
bao harbor with a battleship, three
cruisers and numerous armed
trawlers.
The Bilbao blockade-and Bri-
tain's decision to give it virtual
recognition - engulfed British
statesmen in a bitter political
feud.
Labor party leaders, the official
opposition in parliament, were TO
move for a vote Of censure against
the government today.
Defeat of the motion was GER
tain but the Laborites are certain
to make capital Of what they call
Britain's "cowardly surrender to
the Spanish rebels" Conserva-
tives. on the other hand, termed
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's
announcement that British mer-
chant ships must enter Bilbao al
their own risk as "a wise gesture
of cautious neutrality"
The cabinet, it was disclosed.
was influenced to the side Of con-
ciliation by navy chieftains after
the foreign office had asked for
stern British action.
Premier Benito Mussolini has
not sent battleships into the Bill
bao zone but one Of his fiery Fas-
cist editors, Roberto Farinacci Of
the Regime Fascista in Cremona,
published an editorial last night
exhorting frances rebel warships
mot to hesitate to sink British
ships loaded with war materials
for the Spanish reds"
The French Mediterranean fleet
began its spring maneuvers off the
coast of Provence Tuesday but
orders were given to stage the dis
plays east of Marseilles "to avoid
any Interpretation that the ma
neuvers are associated with Fran
co.'s blockade"

TWO LYNCHED
IN MISSISSIPPI
Negroes Tortured; Murder
of White Man Confessed;
Third Is Beaten

DUCK HILL, Miss, April ID
(UP).-A mob of more than 800
white men yesterday tortured two
young negroes with blow torch
and lynchcd them near here
where the pair was charged with
numbering white storckeeper
last December.
The mobsmen chained the two
ncgroes-Roosevelt Townes, 20,
and "Bootjack" Mcdaniel, alias
Hubbard, 26, to q tree.
The flaming blowtorch first was
applied to Mcdaniel. Screaming
for mercy, he admitted aiding
Townes in the murdcr-robbery Of
George S. Windham, who operat-
ed the Crossroads store. McDan-
iels claimed Townes fired the shot
which killed Windham. Mcdaniel
was shot to death with pistol bull
lets.
Townes was tortured with the
torch until he repeated the con-
feSsion which he repeatedly made
to Memphis officers recently.
Members of the mob then piled
brush around Townes, poured gas
oline over him and burned him to
death.
A third negro, shorty Der
roh, was beaten severely and re-
leased with orders to "leayc the
state"
1t was the first lynching in Mis-
sissippi since 1885 when Tuskegec
institute records show seven ne
groes were killed by mobS in this
state.
The mob seized Mcdaniel and
Townes from Officers in the coun-
ty seat, Winona, 10 miles south of
here. The lynching occurred eight
miles easts of here, near Wind
hams store.
