Douglas Fairbanks at The Mexican. "A whirlwind of action and a riot of fun, and typically Fairbanks," is the way Manager Holmes describes the new Douglas Fairbanks film. "Reaching for the Moon," produced for Artcraft, coming to the Mexican Theatsr next Friday,"April 12: With , New York and Italy as backgrounds, extraordinary "film punches" are presented, interspersed with flashes of real comedy. The story allowed spectacular treatment, and Artcralt has produced it on a lavish s ale, making it a notable offering, and one of the most pretentious yet issued from the Artcraft studies. The reproduction of the Venetian settings are well done, with pic turesque eanals and romantic gon dolas. Magnificent settings and an extraordinarj supporting cast includ ing such well known players as Ftank Campeau, Eileen Percy ind Eugene Orm mde, make this film an exceptional attraction.

In lact it was over-sub scribed by several thousand Situr day, and now reports through the banks alone amount to $105,700. more than three times the allotment. Alamance County's allotmej*t^ia.. $184,800, and subscriptions afnount to 81'.)0,700, which is an nwr sub scription. The reports of sales come through the. banks alone. It is understood there many thousands pledged tvhich are not included in the above reports through the banks of the county. During the campaign many moro thousands will bo subscribed, in fact the government wants the subscrip tion, to run to five billions. Nort Carolina's allotment is $lB,- 655,000 ,j The government wants all the people to participate in the loan and the small subscriptions are more sought for tjiau the large ones and they will be given preference when tho bonds are issued. Though the town and county allot ments are over-subscribed it is not I proposed to Btop, but more subserip ' lions will be earnestly sought to run I the amount "over the lop" several times over.* Democratic Convention.

'. • V How To' Plant and Cultivate Your Home Garden to Get the Greatest Returns and the Surest Results. By J l . F. ROCKWELL, Author of "Around Ihe Year in the Garden," "Home Vegetable Gardening," Gardener's Pocket Guftle," Etc., Etc. ' FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR-PRODUCE IT! «■ . • / / Article No. Meleetlug I lie Cirden Mite--Preparing Pl* nli tor Hettliiff On'. (Copyrighted by W. Atlee llurpee Co., Beed r , 0 rowers, I'hllti ) t In the majority of cases there s will not be a great deal of choice g to be had in the selection of a h place for a small garden. More I often than not, ft is a matter of r "doing the best you can with what c you've got." Ondi should, how- e ever, know what to avoid and i what to got if it can bo had, and the following point* should be kept in mind in picking out the garden plot. Good Drainage l'n«ti»tlal. i First and foremost is tho mutter c of drftijiagp. Vegetables, as has 1 been pointed out in a previous ' article, will not grow satisfactorily 1 without au abundancoof moisture in tho soil. Too much moisture, ' however, is just as bad as too lit- 1 tie. For ideal results tho soil f should bo about fifty per cent. f saturated—that is, should have in 1 it about fifty per cent of the water 1 which itiscapableof absorbingand 1 holding. When in this condition 1 there will be nir as well us water ' in the soil, and both are essential ' to healthy growth. Any soil, therefore, which r> mains wet and ' soggy for a long time alter a heavy ' rain isfiotwell suited to garden- ' ing and should be avoided if |MIS- I siblo. Tho soil itself may be ox- I cellent, but tho drainage is im- 1 perfect. Where such a soil is all ' that is available, slops should be 1 taken before planting lo improve I tho drainage as much as possible. 1 The addition of wood ashes and ' of sifted coal ashes always helpn. 1 A generous application of manure i tends to lighten and loosen the soil and permit surplus watur to 1 pass down through it. A dross- 1 ing of iitno not only sweetotis the 1 soil but will also help to disinte grate it and keep tli# soil particles separate so that soil drainage is . improved. If, however, the trouble is that , below tho surface soil there is a hard tight, sub soil through which the surplus water cannot drain off after it has worked down through tho top soil, then it may j bo necessary either to use tile drains or to dynamite the sub-soil. | The latter may be done quickly i and easily by a professional user | of agricultural dynamite or farm powder. Very light charges are , put in at intervals, and crack or , break upon the sub-soil, permit- | ing the surplus moisture which | formorly has remained in the top ( soil to drain down through, litis is cheaper, and under some condi- , tions more effective, than tile draining—and It can bo done in au hour or so, while the tile drain ing ip rather a long operation to undertake at this tjino of the year. Tho soil itself in, of course, equally important, although it is possible to obtain better results with mediocre soil and good drain age, than with good soil and poor drainage. It is very seldom in deed that tho gardtier can find soil that is exactly suited to his re quirements ready to hand. Inlhe majority of cases lie must "uiftke" it. All except the most unfavor able soil, however, can bo brought, by proper handling, to a fair de gree of productiveness. Commer cial crops aro successfully grown on everything from pure sand to tho heaviest muck soil, so tho home garduer should not feel that he is foredoomed to failure merely because Ills soil docs not happen j to lie ideal to begin with. Clti-j mate success in tho majority of I cases will depend largely ou how tho soil is handled ami upon its! natural qualities. The ideal garden soil is "a rich, sandy, loam,"—such soil usually, however, is made, and not found. | "llich," in the ; ardenor's sense I of the word, me uis abundantly I supplied with plant-food in avail-1 able forms. Most manures and j fertilizers which wo add lo thosoil become available gradually, so that tho garden which has been' cuilivitted for two or three yeais ( in succession is in better condi- 1 . tion to grow good crops than I "new" soil. I'roper use of very I ' thoroughly rolled manures and of 1 high grade fertilizers will inakej the garden rich for the firs? year, i 1 It is, of course, possible to grad- 1 ually wear out, or rather to tern ' porarily "use up," soils which are cropped year after year without' . having manures and fertilers add- ed to make up what the crops takei t from the soil. Asa general rule, | . however, tho gard-ner who isj ■ picking a garden this year will do better to get soil that was tisc^ ■ last year and the year before than i ' a brand new plot. In tho description used above - that is "a rich, sandy, loam" —the j ■ word "sandy" is used not in tliei sense of being like the seashore, j ■ but a soil containing sand enough so that the water will pass through 1 it readily, and a liAndfull squeez- j ed in the fingers will disintegrate again easily even where It is thfir -1 oughly moist. This is in contra, distinction to h "clay" soil, which ! has a tendency to form in hard j lumps, both when it is wet, or very dry. The ideal soil, then, j should contain an excess of neither i i sand or clay, but a mixture of the j ■ two. If- to such a soil there is • added enough humus or decayed | 1 vegetable matter to make it thor- j :>unl»'y liklh and friable, we have the ideal garden soiU—a "rich, sandy, loam." Whatever your i garden may be to begin with that is the ideal to work toward in building it tip. The use of iiip nure, of green crops to dig under, of ashes and of lime, will all help either a sandy noil or a clay soil in thlit direction. I'lrk * I'lire In the Hun. The ideal • exposure for the garden silo is a slight slope to the south or southeast. This protects it from the cold north winds of early spring while at the same time affording good natural drain age. Of course not every gardener can (1 ml such a spot for his garden Natural protection by buildings, wind breaks, fences, etc., should, however, be con sidered in picking out the garden spot. A good fence or wind-break may mean a difference of a week or ten days in getting the early crops ready for the table, and consequently an o- rly start in get ting the fall and w inter Crops into the ground. The search for ideal conditions, however, should not lead one to locate the garden too far from the house. This ma) seem an unim portant matter, but in natural pracift-e it makes a very great dif ference whether one lias to go a hundred feet or two, or a eon siderabln walk, to get to tho garden. Kvery additional rod of distance not ou.ly means increased work, but increased chances that the garden will be neglected. Protection for the garden must be also considered. There is lit tle profit in growing tilings for other people to harvest, or for dogs and children to destroy when they are half grown. Hotter a half crop of Golden Itaiitnm that you can pick yourself than a full crop that somebody else picks for you! Celling (lie I'luiit* Kemly tiir Metilng Cut In tlx* Open. One of the most important points in making a success in your early garden is to have all plants which are set out thoroughly hardened off before they go into tho open. Whether you start) il them yourself in a hot-bed, or bought them at some local florist or plantsman, do not attempt to plant them out until they have had several nights in the open. Soft, tender plants, even if they aro not killed outright by a cold night or two, will bo so Severely checked that it will take them a long time to get over it. If yon have no cold frame put tho plants in some place where they can lie protected in case there is danger of frost, and keep them well water ed"' until they have become thor oughly hardened. An experienced gardener ean tell at a glance when this condition has been obtained by tho change in the coloring of the loaves, which take on a decid ed purplish or reddish tinge, and look decidedly different from those of plants which hnvo Icon grown wholly under glass. Tho hit tor may appear lo bo more luxuriant to tho inexperienced gardener, lint tho former will give quicker re sulls when planted out. If you have to buy plants, the best, way, where possible, is lo get them from a practical market gardener who grows his own plants for re sults, and not, lor look". Si/.e is a matter of secondary importance, j l-ong, lanky plants should always [be avoided.
