THERE is a tlmo for everything, hut
a honevmoon Is not tho time to find
oneself arrested, now, It It? Well, not
lone ago a very new bridegroom spend
ing a fortnight very happily In Atlantic
City was summonded to his home in a
nearby city by telegraph. When the
whole thfng leaked out the story was
this: Our bridegroom was arrested be
cause he had left his motor outside the
city hall over the prescribed length of
time whilo getting his license and attend
ing to a half dozen other little errands.
An appeal to his lawyer got him off
rather well, however, and he wan heard
to make tho remark to a friend that ho
did. not propose to be arrested and have
his honeymoon spoiled, no matter what
he had done In the past.
I HEARD recently that n fratrrnltv for
girls, or a sorority, as some call It,
had adopted the U. S S. destroyer Mo
Call, which mailed recently for "some
where on the oeenn." The adoption
mean3 that they made up boxes contain
ing ninety-two pounds of tobacco, pounds
and pounds of fudge and chewing gum. and
any quantity of books, latest llrtlun, his
' ton pamphlets and lecent periodicals.
To hear them tell of tho ceremony and
red tape through which they went to get
Into the Xavy Yard with their packages
for then adopted brothers is a scream
They anived there without their leader
and not a girl present knew tho pass
word Tho poor sentry was nearly fran
tic with the repeated guesses, until thcro
loomed on tho horizon the leader of the
band who gave tho magic word and
passed In with her gay companions and
delivered the goods to the captain. The
a boys on that boat will have some little
!-EOod time believe me. when they are
not on uut -it was a splendid thought,
and much moie practical than many
thlng which some of our hysterical
friends have undertaken for tho cause.

hollow The boat must be hose to, there
would ho no IIMng otherwlso In that sea,
and the vcrv fait that It remained afloat
was evidence of sailors aboard I drew
myeelf to my feet, clinging with one hand
to a stay hollowing the other to make my
voice roach the deck below.

"Aye. aye. sir
"There is a small boat off the port quar

"A what, sir?"
"A ship's boat off the port quarter too
far away to tell what s aboard her. Can

He scrambled over the top but Olson

indignantly
"Oh, but I have: Indeed I have Why I

"No, not to distinftliish them with the

the boat must be occupied to keep afloat In

"Who can they be, do ou suppose ship

swept the viators with mv glass, eager to

CULTIVATION MAIN FACTOR

Cl'LTtVATION is what makes gardens'
Planning and planting ure neeesiiv
pieiequlsltes or preliminaries to clops, bin
there won't be nio crops If iilltlvntlon is
neglected
In simplest ttoms. cultivation Is keeping
the ground worked or tilled nnd hoeing Is
the medium.
Kxuept for one Jethm Tull. gurdenlng
would be a lasy man's occupation
nut the gardens would not bear good
crops.
old Jelhro wus an Kugllsh farmer who
lived generations ago He accidentally dis
covered one season that If you atlr up the
soil around a p'ant It grows and produce
better So the story goes
Tho modern science of fanning 1 baseil
largely on this dlsnoverv The modern sci
entists havo discovered that cultivation
opens up tne sou m mi- . . '
identically upon the plant food In soil, re
leasing It so that the roots can feast upon
It Moreover, a dust ovcr for soil saves
th moisture within the soil by breaking
the pump of caplllnrv attraction vv hereby
soil moslture Is drawn to the surfaco and
evaporated
Now that the garden crops ore beginning
to show In their rows It is tlmo to start
hoeing and cultivating them. Too much
tress cannot be laid upon the Important o
of this. The results of hoeing are miracu
lous Hoeing Is manure and water, too
It Is much better to savo tho moisture in
the soil than to water tho .garden fro
intently with tho hose
The hoe alo kills the weeds, which are
the growing crops' deadly foe The weed
roots not only steal plant food and mnUturo
from the roots of the vegetables, but thev
harbor plant diseases and also act as homes
for Inserts destructive to garden plants
In it garden n weed should never be seen
The new gardener cannot tell If tho soil
of his garden needs drainage Plants will
not grow well with wet feet and standing
water will drown out vegetation llle
drainage Is somewhat expensive, hut most
thorough Trenches can be dug to carry
off water. rvnnnni:r:N.s
Hvergreens may be planted seveial woeka
latc'r than deciduous trees
Evergreens In confined places, planted
where they cannot fully develop, may he
dipped and kept In shape and at tho slie
desired Arbor vltae, hemlocks, spruces and
Juniper can all be treated In this manner
The pruning causes dense growth nnd
makes very beautiful thick specimens
Especially Is this true of tho Norway tpruce
which w hen allowed to grow naturally that
Is single specimens becomes open, and by
cutting off the head when ten or twelve
feet high It will form a compact and beau
tiful tree, Tha white pin will stand
