WHAT THE MEMBERS OF THIS CLASS ARE DOING
SWEET-PEAS
Sweet-peas are one of the most
popular annual flowers, because they
are of so many beautiful colors and
shades. As a cut flower for decora
tion there is nothing more adapt
able. There are three distinct types
of sweet-peas:
1. The winter flowering types.
2. The Spencer type, and
3. The old Grandiflora type.
From the middle of November to
the tenth of December is the time to
bow sweet-peas for the best results.
Tf the winter is mild, plants will be
gin to bloom in March.
Sweet-peas like rich soil and a sun
ny place. Prepare the soil well by
spading ten inches deep, making fine
and loose, and free from stones.
Sweet-neas shuold be planted :n
rows, six inches apart, covering one
inch deep. The plants should be
watered well every day.
j MAKING MARSHALL BEAUTIFUL
j .One thing we might do at this
j time of vear, in our campaign for
i Making Marshall Beautiful, is to set
tvnps alontr our streets and road
sides in and near Marshall.
Trees along the street in marsna.i
and along the roads in the surround
ing country would add a great deal
to beauty of this section, if properly
selected and planted in the proper
places. , .
rru i,00f kind of trees for this
purpose are those of this section or
of some section where conditions are
very much as they are here. These
trees by being adapted to our cli
mate and soil, will live better than
foreign types of trees Decause

here. , ,
Some of the best trees for road
side planting in this section are red
oaks, sugar maples, American elms,
mossycup oaks, American Lindens,
white ashes, white oaks, red maple,
pin oaks, tulip trees, swamp w.

does not force them to give up their
leaves. But it is the soil which stops
their growth. Each plant demands,
besides moisture and soil salts, a
definite soil temperature.
Plants do not die from cold as
from moisture, ice, and the winter's
sun. The changeable autumn cli
mate which goes suddenly from cold
to rain and back to sunshine does
not permit the wood of the trees and
shrubs to become sufficiently mature.
They are soft and full of sap, after
a moist summer, and are not ready
for the resting period. Their shoots
have not become hardened.
The sun may be considered as an
enemy of the plant during the win
ter. ()n warm days it induces a flow
of sap which will freez dining the
night, therefore causing the riant to
die.
MAKING MARSHALL BEAUTIFUL
Now is the time lor us to tiegin 1.0
plant trees and shrubs. A town
cannot lie beautiful unless it has
shade trees and shrubbery.

ties iounu ueiuiu in.-. ii'""b -

'there is the greatest destruction.
This is done to make room for his

In order that the benefits accruing
the primitive man from his associa
tions with these things shall not be
lost to the people of the present day,
it is necessary painstakingly to sub
stitute plants for those that have
been destroyed. To do this, plants
must be moved continually from one
place to another; building sites need
to be made beautiful; parks are to be
developed; country roads require

INTERESTING :
One of the most interesting
advertisements we ever read was
found in an exchange coming to
our desk this week.
This particular advertisement
contained the names of fourteen
citizens of Lhe community where
the paper is published and fol-
lowing each name was an a-
mount due to a local merchant
and that apparently was not
collectable by the merchant. A
creditor's association had insert-
ed the advertisement and offered
.oio. tw iudcrments thatjiad
been secured against the citi- ,
zens.
What a bombshell would be
exploded throughout the nation

were secured from people who

had refused to pay just obliga-
tions-and then these juagme..
were published in the local pa-
pers.
Many are going at such a rap-
id pace and a host of people liv-
beyond their means that some
such a jolt may be necessary to
bring men and women to a sense
of their responsibilities in the
matter of credits and debts.
Many a merchant has gone

man he has aided with credit
has disregarded honest obhga-
tions

How many .f ,
the merchants placed accounts
in the hands of a collection a-
eency, secured judgments and
published them? Probably the
shock would be too great for
any community if such a plan
were adopted in a wholesale
manner. KOCK mil w '
