This is the time Of year when
garden club members through
out the whole Washington area
are sending in their bulb orders.
These orders will be consolidated
and sent on to the firm which
early in the fall will send back
to the buyers the fine, fat tulip
bulbs along with many other
bulbs.
Let's talk about the tulip bulbs
ordered or to be ordered. How
can we have first quality bloom.
It is necessary to prepare the
soil well If satisfactory bloom is
to follow. If the bulbs are to re-
main in the soil for several years
it is absolutely essential that
careful preparation be made. OF
course good drainage is the first
essential. Sufficient fertilizer is
the second. A sunny location is
preferable and a neutral soil.
Ingredients for Bed
In preparing the bed use gen.
erous accounts of compost. Add to
the compost a pound Of bone
meal or superphosphate for each
20 bulbs plus one pound OF dried
manure. Never permit fresh
manure or commercial fertilizer
to touch the bulbs.
If the soil is light put the
bulbs down 10 or IL inches. 1p
heavier JSoil 8 inches will do.
They should be spaced about
eight inches apart. The deep
planting is necessary for three
reasons, at least, (one) 1t protects

Before listing some fine tulips
which you may wish to try, it
may be well to say q word about
that you planted last fall. Faded
flowers should have been removed
after Towering but the stem and
foliage should have been left UNI
til about now when they have
turned brown and dry showing
that their duty to the bulb below
has been completed. The bulbs
should now be lifted carefully
and stored in a dry, airy place
until planting time comes again
when the same rules for planting
and fertilizing will again apply.

tulips, as of other flowers, has
his own preference as to color

KNOW YOUR LOCAL
RED CROSS

Join and Serve

AS the month of March is ap-
preaching final preparation for
the annual Red Cross drive for
funds and membership is being
made. The local program this
year calls for a goal of 1900
members and a financial goal Of
$2,600.00. Byron Steen, fund
chairman, is busy contracting
township chairmans, and ap-
pointing chairmans in townships
where there are vacancies, in
order that everything will be
ready to go by March the first.
Typical of the service render
ed by the Red Cross is the fol.
lowing case from local files. A
recently returned veteran need
ed financial assistance to have
his belongings shipped home
from New York. Application was
later made for G. |. farm train
ing through the Red Cross, and
the veteran has now rented a
farm where he is putting into
practice the things he is learn
ing in his G. l. training.

from the law of her husband. So
then if, while her husband liveth,
she be married to another man,
she shall be called an adulter-
ess: but if her husband be dead,
she is free from that law; SO
that she is no adultress, though
she is married to another man" !"
Then in l Cor. 1889, we read
again, THE wife is bound by the
law as long as her husband
liveth; but if her husband be
dead, she is at liberty to be mar
ried to whom she will; only in
the Lord" Now if this second
marriage in any way would put
any stumbling block in the way
of service of the Lord, or in any
way take glory from God, or
even be a hindrance to. Christian
living in any way, it would be
contrary to the word of God.
Surely what applies to the
woman would also apply to the
man. Much care need be exer-
cised in this privilege of remar-
riage.

YOUR
ELECTION
LAWS

The Ohio Legislature, in max
ing changes in Ohio's election
laws, has effected an alteration
We were glad to recommend, one
which will eliminate confusion
that has existed for years re-
garded 'write-in" voting.
For instance, in a primary
election where two candidates
have filed for one office, their
names are printed on the bal
lot, followed by one blank space
where the voter may write in
a name if he chooses. Under the
former law, the section which
instructed the voter said that
the voter shall write the name in
the blank space and then place
an "X' before it. However, the
section instructing the election
officials as to how the ballots
shall be counted, read, in effect,
that if the voters intention could
be ascertained, the ballot should
be counted.
1t was obvious that by writing
in name on a ballot the voter
had displayed his intent to vote
for such person and that the
mere writing in of an "X" in the
accustomed place was a directory
requirement and not a manda-
tory one. But, it can readily be
seen, there was room for con-
fusion and argument.
One of the many clarifying
changes made by the Tooth Gen
eral Assembly, now in effect,
omits mention of the writing in
of an "X' before the name of a
write-in candidate, thus making
it easier for the voter and clear
to the election officials, since all
the voter has to do is write in the
name Of the person he prefers.

The pro-federal-aid groups

They claim that, although

CONTINUED from l-B)

The learned senator was very
wide of the mark of his estimate.
There is certainly a vast differ
ence between the 20 per cent he
stated labor got and the 80 per
cent it actually was receiving.
If his estimate had been cor
rect, instead of averaging $1,000
year income, the American
worker would have been get
ting only $500 per year, which
would have reduced the Ameri-
can standard of living almost to
the low level of Russia and Ger
many.
Since that glaring inaccuracy
was delivered on the Floor of
the United States Senate by the
erudite senator, the workers
share of the industrial dollar has
gone even higher and is now we'll
over the 80 per cent mark.
It is quite evident that the
workers share has now almost
reached point where any fur
ther increase will discourage the
investment of capital in indus
try and business; and that
large increase would force indus
try to operate in the red, and
put many workers out of job.
No other country, with the
exception of our good neighbor
to the north, the Dominion of
Canada, gives its workers such a
large share of what they pro-
duce. That accounts for America
having the highest standard of
living the world has ever known.
The idea of distributing such
large share of the wealth to the
workers is an American concept
and is responsible tor our phen-
omenal economic and social
growth.
The policy of American indus
try has been TO give the workers
an ever-increasing share of the
wealth, thus enabling them to
buy more and more of the pro-
ducts they help to produce. In SC
doing, the market of these pro-
ducts was SO increased that they
could be manufactured in vast
quantities, which in turn made
them cheaper, thus further in
creasing the workers purchasing
power and creating more jobs.

OUR HISTORY
I'M REVIEW
ELLIS MURREY
The Persian Empire
(55O-323 b. CO.
Foundation and Consolidation

Cyrus was a strong Persian
leader who embarked on a career
of conquest which was to make
Persia one of the strongest en-
pireS the world had known down
to $50 B. c. Media submitted to
Cyrus which gave him wide
domain and gave impetus TO
wide and extensive conquests.
Cyrus was considered unique
figure in the history of the
ancient Orient because he was
careful not inflict needless
humiliation upon the people he
conquered. King Astyages of
Media, King Croesus of Lydia
and King Nabonidus of Babylon
were all conquered by Cyrus.
East of Persia lay Bactria, Par
thia and other district which
were brought under the Persian
rule by Cyrus which extended
his frontier to the border Of
India and the edge of the central
Asiatic steppes. In the year Of
529 B. c. while fighting the
wild tribesmen Cyrus was killed.
Cambyses succeeded Cyrus
and ruled from 529 to 522 B. c.
Cambyses set out to conquer
Egypt which was about as easy
conquered as Babylon. Egypt
was to serve as a base to con-
quer the lands to the west and
the south. Expeditions were
sent out from Egypt but they all
were failures. Cambyses died
while on his way back to Persia
and Darius succeeded him.
Darius and the Organization
OF the Empire
Darius was constructive
statesman of first rank. AS soon
as he possibly could, Darius
established an efficient system
of control over his officials and
defined their duties and obliga-
tions. This system of imperial
administration which Darius set
up lasted until the Persian
Empire was overthrown two CEN
turies later. At the head of the
state was the king, who like all
other Oriental sovereigns eXer-
ciSed absolute power. Darius
title was "The Great King, King
of Kings" He made laws, levied
taxes, exacted services and he
acted as a judge. The Persian
Empire under Darius was divid-
ed into twenty provinces and
satrap or governor was ap-
pointed who had complete mill
tary, judicial and financial pow
ers within the province. Gar
riSonS Of Persian troops who
were under the orders of Darius
were stationed throughout the
provinces to see that the pro-
vince governors carried out the
orders of the king.
Under the satraps were dis
trict governors and in some dis
tricts vassal kings were left in
power but their authority was
limited. The army was conscrip-
ted from the districts and each
satrap had to furnish a quota of
men. The fleet was furnished
from the Egyptians, Phoenicians
and Asiatic Greeks. The Persian
army under Darius seldom lost a
\ campaign.
The monetary system was a

mixture of the old and new.
Each province had to contribute
annually its cost of local govern
ment and fixed sum as a tri-
butte to the king. Some OF the
provinces didn't have a monetary
system and they paid in other
tribute which was collected by
the satrap and forwarded to the
king. The first Persia system OF
coinage was instituted by Darius.
In the year 484 B. c. Darius was
succeeded by XerXes but there
never was a Persian king who
had the ability of Darius. Next
topic: Persia continued.
