Washington Is Going Without
 Any Vacations

workers. I know of one employee in the Department of Justice who in the last Il weeks has put in 226 hours overtime This isn't an iso- lated case; it's an example. And n few of the Federal services are these overtime workers taking over time pay.
 One thing that has impressed me in my rounds is the spirit with which the overworked employees are taking it. If there has been any complaining I haven't heard it - and personnel directors tell me they haven't either It may be different when the heat and Wash ington's awful humidity get m their licks on capital dispositions, but most of the offices are just "one big happy, hard-working fam fly" so far.
 Passing extended vacations would give rise to innumerable compli- cations not the least of which $ that Federal workers cannot cary to any succeeding year more than 60 days of accrued leave time. Be- cause of curtailed vacations last year and accrued time from other years, many old-timers in govern ment service are facing the pros pect of losing leave time alto gether.

AREN'T THE ONLY ONES

The chances are that the Federal employees in Washington aren't the only ones who are going to miss their long holidays. Congressional leaders already have said that as long as the national emergency exists. Congress will stay in ses- sion. The best that congressman and their office staffs can hope for this summer are the three-day adjournments extended perhaps for brief periods by the customary "gentlemen's agreement that no work will be done until a specified date This isn't very satisfactory vacation arrangement, for being always "on call" the congressman are afraid to get far from the capitol.
 All in all, it looks like a long hard summer for those who run the nations business.

small roots of their bark and leave them bare and bleeding. Such a plant. with many bare roots, will not do well and may die. Pack as much soil around the roots as you can carry and wrap with old gunny sacks or other materials as quickly as possible Do not cart your plant back to town with the roots ex- posed. Air will dry out the small, feeder rootlets and retard, if not seriously injure, the plant. Many people bring trees and shrubs to town strapped to the running boards of their cars with the roots waving to the breeze and then wonder why their plants don't grow.
 If you have not dug the hole for the plant before you went to get it, set the plant with the roots still wrapped, in tub with enough water to keep the roots moist. Or just sprinkle water enough on the wrapped roots to keep them moist while you are preparing the hole. Dig it deep; about six inches deeper than you think necessary, will probably be about right. Scatter three or four inches of top soil in the hole first,
 
 then put in the plant Remove the sacking and cut off any jagged ends on any of the roots with a clean cut. Fill in with your soil and firm the ground around the roots but do not press to heavily If you do plant in a dry spell water the soil thoroughly before and after planting. Some people, just before they put in the last few inches of soil sprinkle a little fertilizer around, being careful not to get it too close to any roots. This is not necessary and is not done by many.
 A little pruning at this time would be beneficial to the plant to match the loss of roots. Prune rather severely. You can remove all struggling branches and shape the plant the way you want it to grow now.
 The hemlock and spruce are fine trees if you have a large enough yard and don't intend to have much lawn A few examples of what spruce and hemlock do, in a yard, can be seen in the Casey Shattuck addition. This land used to be covered by these trees and a few people have left some stand ing in their yard Never plant one of these trees close to the house. They will be lifting your founda- ton one fine day. The heavy roots ruin a yard for much of a lawn or flowers. So a word of warning to new gardeners; don't plant spruce or hemlock as specimen plants, m your yard unless you have plenty of yard.
 If you want an evergreen tree, the jack pine is the best type around here. It is slower growing than either spruce or hemlock and it's roots would not trouble you for a long time.
 Many people, in the past, have planted cottonwbod trees around their places They are fine for a few years. Shrubs are more suit able and more easily controlled Cottonwood is all right in a large enough yard, at least for quite a

SuTuDS, pruning OI trees, ttc.J
 The essentials of a good garden are healthy seeds or plants, prop erly prepared and fertilized soil, a super abundance of energy and a strong back. The seeds or plants you buy from any reliable dealer or bum them from your neighbors or friends-the soil you spade rake and fertilize and then you are ready to plant.
 One of the first things to at tend to is the transplanting of shrubs or trees and pruning. As soon as possible that straggly bush or ragged tree should be pruned.
 Birch rots easily and should water collect on large freshly cut upper branches they will be liable to rot straight to the ground. Mountain ash is tougher and can stand more abuse. One look arounu town will prove that. If you prune your plant each year from the time you put it in, you should never have to cut off limb larger than one-half inch in diameter. Pruning is simply thinning out unnecessary branches or trimming for a par ticular shape. Pruning can and has been carried to extreme but the average gardener, unless faced oy plants that have been neglected for several years, should never have much pruning to do. Cut off the branch with sharp knife and don't leave a stub. Cut even with the main branch or trunk A lit tie white paint, daubed on the wound after you get through, will be an ounce of prevention against rot Some use beeswax.
 A severe example of pruning can be seen on Sixth Street. Some trees have been cut off about 25 feet from the ground just where they had started to branch, evidently
 If you want a new shrub or tree in your yard now is the time to transplant it. This early spring has started all the shrubs growing, so the sooner you transplant, the bet ter. Here are a few simple direc- tions on how to dig up shrub or tree.
 Start digging trench about one foot from the center of the plant and continue around it until you have encircled it. Of course it de- bends on the size of the shrub or tree as to how far from the plant you would start digging But, in general, I'd say for medium sized shrub-one about three feet tall-- a trench about one foot from the center of the plant would be about right. Smaller ones less, of course, and larger ones, more. Dig deeply and cut off any roots encountered, lifting and loosening the soil as much as possible. As you start to pull the plant up you may dis cover you've missed a root or two. Cut them off before proceeding with the pulling. Don't grab the bush or tree and try to pull it ouo without having loosened the soil around it. You will only strip the

Due to lack of traffic into the
village, Mt. Cory lost the bus line
service of the Cincinnati and Lake
Erie Bus Co., by a recent decision
of the state utilities commission in
Columbus.
Permission was granted by the
commission to the bus company to
abandon its route of about a mile
between Mt. Cory and the Dixie
highway.
For some time, service into the
village has been irregular, certain
buses making the detour, chiefly
when there were passengers aboard
for the village. The irregular SER
vice brought complaints and the
company asked permission to aban-
don it altogether.
The commission denied the COM
pany's application for removal of an
order preventing the company from
carrying passengers on its line be-

Sugar Prices Up One

Sugar prices on Bluffton retail

A hundred pound sack of beet
sugar is retailing for about $3.50
here in contrast to price of SAB

Although rises in sugar prices are
beginning to be felt here the situa-
ton does not begin to compare with
that of World War days when the
cost was several times the present
figure.
Also during World War days short
