by having their happy home life ruined
and their innocent gayety suppressed.
Surely your aunt must see these
things and if she has any sense at
all she will stay in her own home for
her own protection against the chill
dren. where she will have freedom to
do as she pleases and some work to
keep her hands and mind occupied.
At any rate, don't let her come to
your house to live, for it will end in
trouble for all concerned And don't
delude yourself by thinking it will be
for a short time Sixty-nine isn't old
in these days and a healthy, strong
woman Of that age is likely to be here
for good. long stay.
There is no other one thing that has
brought about more trouble and caused
more heartaches than the idea that
relatives must live together Nothing
is farther from the truth. Most rela-
tives are unconeenial and fight like
cats and dogs.
YEAR MISS DIX: We have been
married for only few months. My
husband seems to be happy and could
be If only he wouldn't be forever tell
ing me about his former affairs with
women-how beautiful this one was,
how thrilling that one was and how
much in love he was with another. He
relates these romantic episodes in such
a way that it draws an invidious COM
parison between me and those glamor-
GUS females, and makes me feel as If
am just sort of drab, unexciting,
uninteresting, homely housewife with
no charm whatsoever. know I am not
that way at all now, but will be some
day if he doesn't stop killing all of my
self confidence. Is there any way I
can stop my husbands "reminiscences
and make him realize how much hap
pier I would be if he would just let
me fancy myself the only girl he ever
really cared about? MARGOT.
AnsWer-It is easy enough to stop
him. The next time he begins relat-
ing some amorous episode break in
with one of your own. When he tells
you about some beautiful blond. throw
some stalwart football hero in his
teeth. When he relates how much in
love he was with Maud. tell him how
near you came to marrying Tom,
Resurrect all of your old dates and
feed him on them morning. noon and
night. When he blows up with jealousy,
as he is sure to do. then have it out
with him and tell him that it is no
more pleasant to you to have to listen
to him sing song about his old loves
than it is for him to have to hear
about the men that you used to run
around with before marriage.

hollow stems to drain. When they
seem dry the dirt should be shaken
from the tubers. They are now ready
be stored for the winter. Be sure
that the clumps are carefully marked
with the varietal name. Copper-wired
tree labels are commonly used for
this purpose, but pencil writing may
not last over winter If the bulbs are
stored in peat moss. Names written
with an indelibile pencil are more apt
to last. One dahlia grower, using
an indelible pencil, writes the name
on the tubers. The marks thus made
are legible for two years or more.
For winter storage a cool (around
&C degrees) basement room is ideal.
but by keeping them in the coolest
place you have and taking care that
they do not dry out they will probably
carry through in the average base
ment. Sand, wood shavings, peat moss,
or ashes are commonly used to cover
the tubers during the winter. the
objective being to provide a certain
amount of air and at the same time
keep the tubers from shriveling. Peat
moss is as readily available as any
material and will hold sufficient mois-
ture. BY examining the tubers at
frequent intervals during the winter
to make certain that they are not
shriveling, and in case they are too
dry adding small amounts Of water,
the tubers can usually be carried
through the winter satisfactorily.
Winter winds often ruin, II they
don't kill, newly planted trees and
tall shrubs Fall is considered to be
the best time for planting. but trees
and shrubs must be braced to prevent
whipping in winter winds. Scraps
of old garden hose to protect the
bark, pieces of wire mo. 12), and
three strong stakes will do the job
nicely. Run the wire through the
garden hose and loop it around the
trunk or large branch so that it will
not slip down. Drive the stakes well
into the ground and fasten the wires
to them. Three wires and three stakes
will take care of trees up to Is feet
in height. For taller trees four stakes
are safer.
Fall is the easiest time to prepare
cold frames and hotbeds. During the
winter or early spring it is too cold
or too muddy to do the work well.
The frames can be made and placed,
the soil dug out, and any other work
necessary done as easily now as
later-and with much more comfort.
The frames should be set into the
ground and staked to give them
strength. Dirt mounded up around
the outside will keep them warmer,
turn surface water away. and reduce
the danger of frost injury.
Where frame is used to winter-over
tender plants the glass or covers should
be put on as soon as freezing weather
sets in. If the frames are not to be
used until early spring the glass need
not be installed until then.

MANY VARIETIES OFFERED.

MANY VARIETIES OFFERED.
While the wild species will make
a remarkably fine showing when
brought into the garden-the flowers
are often twice as large as when
growing wild-there are many splen-
did cultivated varieties to be selected.
The dwarf varieties begin to bloom in
September and early October, the taller
ones in late September to late October.
Of the dwarf varieties, 10 to l8
inches-Victor, light blue, grows
about 10 inches high. Lady Henry
Maddox is a light pink, Marjorie a
deep pink. Ronald a lavender and
Countess of Dudley deep pink
There are two that are usually
classed as of medium height-Little
Boy Blue and Little Pink Lady. The
hybrid aster Wonder of Staffa (Aster
Frikarti) might well be grouped with
these two as it grows 212 feet high.
1t has lavender blue flowers that are
large and snowy, and its blooming
season starts in July, continuing into
the fall The habit of growth is
more like that of the dWarfs-spread-
ing, whereas most of the hardy asters
are upright growers.
The main group of the hardy asters
are the tall growers to feet. Red
Rover is the nearest approach to a
red among the older varieties Charles
Wilson, new red, is reported to have
hardly trace of magenta in its
flower clusters. Blue Eyes is an old
blue that is really blue. Col. F. r.
Durham is a semi-double mauve
Another old standby is Barrs Pink, a
finely petaled rose-pink Queen Mary,
blue, and James Kelway. tall deep
blue, are also old favorites. Climax,
very dependable tall growing laven-
der-blue, and st. Egwin, a soft pink,
have been widely planted, Two new
varieties that are highly recommended
are Mulberry. red-purple. and Beech
wood Ray. warm rose-pink.
The sizes of the individual flowers
range from Burbank's Charming,
whose flowers are so small as to
give it mist-like appearance, to
these of Mammoth, which exceed 2
inches in diameter.

AS indicated shove, any garden soil
is suitable for the hardy asters if it
has sufficient humus to provide the
necessary moisture. While the wild
asters grow in full sun in the fields,
they are commonly found in low places
and along streams where there is an
abundance of moisture; but never
with their roots in the water.

photographer spent the better part of an hour
getting the set-up right, rehearsing the models,
arranging the lights properly. Yet those pre-

Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent Of the Board Of Education,
speaking informally last night at
the annual mother daughter ban
quet of the Women's Club of Wilson
Teachers College, at the Y. w. c. A.,
urged prospective teachers prepar-
ing for their first jobs to remember
the Importance of cooperating
with parents.
Mrs. Doyle also urged mothers of
young teachers to be sympathetic
with their daughters until they have
become adjusted to their work,
pointing out that teaching is diff
flcult job which is trying on the
nerves
Expressing the opinion that the
influence of the home is and should
be paramount in the life OF the
child, Mrs. Doyle told the young
teachers that it is wise to realize in
the beginning that parents wish to
do what is best for their children.

election will put a good, reliable
Republican at the head of the

meeting at the Mayflower Hotel.
Mrs. Gam, who succeeds Nine
Cantacuzene, was presented by Mrs.
Frank w. Mondell. acting president
Of the league since Nine Canta-
cuzene's recent resignation. She
paid tribute to her predecessors,
praising Nine. Cantacuzene for her
work in opening league headeuar-
ters at 1901 Seventeenth street NV
She also expressed appreciation for
the contribution of Mrs. Virginia
White Speel, founder and first pres
ident of the league.
Criticizing what she termed
"WaSteful' methods of the New Deal,
she deplored the national debt of
the last six years.
The guest speaker of the day. Mrs.
George r. Hemphill, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Council of Republican
Women, also predicted a Republican
victory in 1910, declaring that the
Republican party is not licked, just
sidetracked for a few years"

vania." Mrs. Hemphill said "and

cause it violated all rules of COM

SOIL AND LEGUMES

Just when the farmer was about convinced
that he~was engaging in the last word in good
farm practice when he makes wholesale adop-
ton of legumes for soil improvement, comes ag-
ricultural specialists to tell him that legumes
can be soil-depleting as well as soil-building
that they do not always improve soil, that moth
ing grows out of soil that noes not remove plant
food by constant use.
For a long time farmers cleared land and
tended it as long as it would produce crop,
then abandoning it for other new soil. Finally
in emergency they turned to soil conservation
and improvement through soil-building crops.
They were told to plant legumes, and slowly this
practice was adopted until it was abundantly
proved that they had something there. Many
farmer today can point to fertile fields and give
legunes credit for their fertility, and it will be
hard to convince him that legumes can be soil
Depicting
Last week in Iredell federal and and state ag
rcultural specialists warned the farmers against
too much dependence on legumes. Careful and
cautious thinking, plus specific investigation,
they are convinced that these practices are not
the ultimate in soil safety and security
They do not advocate the Abandonment of le
gumes, but they point out that legumes can be
overworked and that they should be attended by
other farm practices that make them more
workable, more dependable and more profitable.
And the open-minded and progressive
farmers mindful of the help science has been to
them, can we'll hear and heed the warning and
revise their practices to the end that the ulti-
mate benefits may be obtained. They will study
the charting of the course these leaders suggest
and apply it to their own farming. Chances are
that they will profit from it too, because it has
been amply demonstrated that they usually
know what they are talking about.
But we repeat it's going to be hard to convince
the farmer that his field of lespedeza has been
depleted in soil value through the use of the
legume.-The Elkin Tribune.

ROOSEVELT'S POPULARITY

President Roosevelt struck out completely on
his attempted conservative, Or anti-new deal
purge when the voters of Maryland, South Car
DINA and Georgia reelected Tydings, Smith and
George, but what effect did this have on the
presidents personal popularity?
That is logical question that even many
Ashe county citizens have asked during the past
week. Several here predicted that these blunt
defeats of his purge" in the southern primaries
and Republican victory in Maine hurt him
considerably, but according to survey made by
the American Institute of Public Opinion he
was not damaged badly.
This survey reported that Roosevelt's popu-
larity stands $50 per cent of the majority par
ty vote today. While this is several points be-
low the 62.5 per cent he polled in the 1886 cleo
ton, it is still highly substantial personal popu
larity.
In answer to the question, what percentage
of the voters prefer Roosevelt for third term?"
the institute reported that nearly so percent of
them do.
Things are happening fast these days and
there is telling what will happen between
now and 194O.> The indications are however,
that he will have considerable difficulty in con-
trolling congress the next session and that the
political parties will be completely revamped
into two groups, conservatives and liberals.
