III atnnou ncing the expected arrival several weeks ago of Miss van Buren, the specialist it civic improvements., The Advertiser stated that she was comning under the auspices of The e'dnesday club. It appeared later, however, that she was to come under the auspices of the "dormant" Civic League. Now that the lady has come and gone, there seems to be left in her wake not only what the good church brethren term a "qluickened" interest in civic affairs but a difference of opinion as to who was responsible for the lady'. visit. As the Advertiser was partly responsible for the, "'situation"' or "iroibe.", whiheever it might be ta:led. we beg to say that the Civit i.magtue is du.' sift' (lreit for it all.

This is indeed a fertile field to work in. While it is quite possible that somec of our official and unoflicial health protectors get. themselves wrougiht up to a rather high pitch over sanitary, or rather uinsanitary, affairs, it, is too true that a majority of uts are too care less in the everyday affairs of life for our own and our neighbors' health and well-being.

Ther'e is very lit te doubt but that Manning's- friends have said practically the same thing of Cooper, but the friends of Mr. Coo per have not sought to undermine Manning because of them.

Accordigg to the report made out by the inspector, the local guardsmen made a very creditable showing. Capt. -'aham made a most favorable impression up on the oflicers and enlisted men and was himself closely Inspected, though unknowingly, by every member of the company and given an unusually high mark. Maj. 11. F. Watson of Greenville, was also here for the in spection. Maj.

SPRING ONION FOINTERS Some Practical Suggest~c ns About How and When to Plant Seeds and Sets for Best Onions. Onions may be grown in spring from seed or from sets. However, spring planting of seed is not generally so .Ltisfactory a1(nd sets ar'e recommend ed foi' the main whlo neglectedl to plaint in fall anid who wvants early onilons. For biest. resuilts withI seed. planit thenm in October, ini ordler that theo planlits mayl) b~e(omei estabilishied before sevei'e wvinter- weather begins andl that the' onionis may grow off rapidly in spriing and mlature early In Juno. Still, if seed ai'e planted very early in spring aind conditions are favor able, they will make goodl oiiions, al though they will be smaller and later than those from fall-sown seed. Onions shouid be planted on very sandy loam. After the land has been thoroughly prepared by dleep plowing anid rep~eatedl harrowing, apply fei'tt lizer and manui'e broadcast andu lhar row into tihe first three or four inches of soil very thoroughly. Lay off rows fifteen inches apart. plant the seed in the drill, and cover the seed to a depth of one-half to three-fourths of an inch. When the young seedlings ap pear, cultivate frequently in order to destroy weeds and maintain moisture. Thin out the onions so as to leave them standing three or four inches apart inl thle row. To grow onions from sets, prepare and fertilize the land as when plant ing tihe seed and plant the sets just as 50o1n in spring as soil condlitions will permit. Plant them three to four inches apart in rows fifteen inches apart. White Pearl and Prizetaker are the two most reliale varieties for this region. Sets are more convenient for the home-gardener, but for a commercial onion planter, seed-planting is to be preferred, because onIons grown from seedl keel) botter than those grown from sets and biecauise seed cost less than sets.

TO HONOR WIFE OF BOONE Dauglters of American Revolution Will Place Tablet at Grave of Pioneer's Wife. The state conference of the Daugh tore of the American Revolution of Missouri will be held in St. Louis the last week in October and directly aft .erward, on October 29, the Daughters will place a marker on the site in Warren county, whore Daniel Boone and his wife, Rebecca, wore buried. The daughters have been inde fatigable in their efforts to place markers at all historic spots in the state, and will continue the good work. It is all very well for the men who blazed the way and the men who fought for their country's honor and well-being to be remembered in this way, but sometimes it seems as it one would like to hear of a society, a vanguard of peace, as it were, that would mark the deeds of the real he roes of the world, those kindly, unpre tentious persons in the modern equiv alent of fustian, who never blazon forth their heroic efforts in any way. There are thousands of mothers, de priving themselves of all the good things in life that their children may have an education. The president of a college told me once that in a far away New England town his mother had just died. lie could not go to the funeral, and, while it possibly was being held he told me something of what his mother had been to him. "She was left with a poor little Now England farm," he sad, "and four sons. Sho sent each of us to collage, and I don't understand to this day how she did it.", Every woman can imagine how she did it, how sho worked and slaved early and late, and saved the money that was the means of giving each of her boys what the lroud New England woman considered the greatest thing she could give them, an education, and a real one, with a college degree as its goal. There will be no mark. ers on the graves of such women, and it is just as well.-St. Louis Globo Democrat. DISCOVERY OF GREAT VALUE Work of Pittsburgh Men Means Much in the Feture of Aluminum Manufactures. C. E. Skinner and L. W. Chubb of the Westinghouse Electric and Manu facturing company of Pittsburgh have perfected an insulating skin for alumi. num so thin and flexible as to make small r.luminum wire as economical of space in coils as copper. According to the Engineering News, they have produced two kinds of films. One is smooth and iridescent; the other, white and abrasive. Of those, the second is the better, for it is only .0001 to .0004 of an inch thick, and stands from 200 to 500 volts. Two wires can be pressed together until they are indented without breaking the film; but rubbing will expose the metal, and make a short circuit. The film is fireproof, and has mechanical strength enough to support the wire in small coils above the melting point. To coat the wire with the film, it is passed through electrolytic baths (so lutions of borax, ammonium borate, or sodium silicate)-a process in which the wire itself acts as the anode.-Youth's Companion. Proved His- Point. Assuming an air of sage importance the fat plumber ejaculated: "War Is a necessity." "Pooh! How, (do you make that out?" demanded the thin .carpenter, depreciatingly. "Did you read that Edison was go Ing to dlevote his euergies to Ameri can protective measures in time of war?" "Yep. WXhat of it?" "That proves my contention." "H ow?" "WVar makes invention necessary, doesn't it?" "I suppose so." "And necessity is the mother of in vention." "Huh!" "Therefore war and necessity are synonymous." The thin cam'penter is still thinking It over. The Needed Tool, Andrew Carnegie consented to see 'a reporter while he was playing clock golf on the Newport estate which he has rented for the summer.
