X During the growing season all plants must be well fed and while flowers are of secondary consid eration this year, if you have roses and peonies established in your garden * they shouldn’t be neglected. Certain fertilizers are available for flowers and shrubs if you must rely on commercially pre pared ones. Liquid manure is ex cellent for all flowers, so if you have either one or the other you can keep your roses sturdy and vigorous. Winter killing of rose plants often can be traced to lack of adequate feeding during A recent United Press report from “somewhere in India” takes to task the relatives of those who write “agony” letters to their men in the service. The report holds the writers of such letters largely responsible for the high ratio of mental cases among the soldiers in that particular tneater of the war. And of course a con dition which applies to one area will apply to them all. Nostalgia — better known as homesickness—is one of those mental phenomenons which are looked upon by those who have never suffered from it as a sort of mildly disagreeable sensation of short duration. In reality it is—or can be—so severe as to mentally unbalance the sufferer. Young boys and girls who leave home for the first time and go off to boarding school or to sum mer camp often have to be sent back because they are mentally and physically unable to with stand the misery of homesickness. Different personalities are dif ferently affected naturally by separation from home and from those they love. Most of them don’t know what homesickness is —and fortunately never learn. Others suffer so that they are sent to the sick wards and treat ed by those who understand their trouble. Others simply collapse. Sitting at home here we can’t keep our men from being shot at, but we can help tremendously to ease the misery of homesick ness; and any man who has had a real dose of that ailment will tell you he would much rather be shot at. The most important thing for us is to write, write, write. Write every day a few sentences and mail the letter at the end of the week. Write about the Jonesei next door and about their Victory garden and about our own Vic tory garden and about tho Joneses’ boy getting into the navy and about how their pretty daughter is suspected of being en gaged to the Smith kid who ho> just managed to squeeze into the army by stretching his age a little. Write about the crops and how the corn didn’t look very good a first because we got it in so.la f ^ but how the last two weeks r f growing weather has made up a lot of lost time. Dwell lightlv upon the fact that we missed th ' oat crop—if we did—and stich to the good news if there is an”, and if there isn’t then make up some or go out and dig it up. Ev en an occasional fib is permiss- able under such circumstances. In above mentioned repor; fr<Sm India, Lieut. Col. Charles R. Williams, commanding officer cf an unnamed base hospital, saw' that most of the mental cases ar> men who could not adjust them selves and were worried about the troubles of their wives and families and sweethearts, thei * debts and their post-war pros pects. He said they were apt to lose their grip on themselvfc when troubles from home were added to their present cares. Cap tain Scott of the same service said: “You can see a definite curve upward in morale when the men get letters of the right kind from home.” Nothing must be allowed to in terfere with writing letters to our men—nothing! And if we Iovy them—as we do—those letters must be cheerful ones. much bone around each cut off the cut off the the growing season. Peonies need extra feeding, and with roses require plenty of water. Instead of fertilizer for peonies, use a handful of wood ashes com- | bined with half as meal to scatter clump. Be sure t clump. Be sure to cut faded blossoms. There’s a saying that “One seed pod equals _12 blossoms,” so you see how neces sary it is to cut the blooms. This cutting off of blossoms has nothing to do with pruning. A plant is pruned to shape it and guide its growth. It is cut back to conserve plant strength and gain more bloom this season or next. Unless seed is wanted for sowing let no blossom wither on its stem. As soon as the petals begin to curl on their edges the process of seed forming starts to 4^take vitality from the plant.. Annuals, such as calendulas and centaurea, that are allowed to form seed pods will soon stop blooming. Many perennials like delphinium and pyrethrum will bloom again in the fall if the flowers are cut. The ideal time to pick them is early in the morning before the his work was heat of the day has taken the his Column moisture from the IN MEMORY OF BROTHER GEORGE J. SANDERS, SR., Once again a Brother Mason, having completed the design? written for him on life’s trest' r board, has passed through th i portals of Eternity and entered the Grand Lodge of the New Je rusalem and has received, as fci? reward, the White Stone with n 1 new name written thereon. And Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, the Great Archi tect of the Universe, to remove from this Terrestrial Lodge belr^v to the Celestial Lodge above. Brother G. J. Sanders, Sr., who was a true and loyal Mason, therefore, be it Resolved: 1st. That, while we mourn the death of our departed' Brother, on account of his many virtues, we bow in humble submission to the will of Him “Who doeth^all things well.” In his death ebur Lodge, Masonry at large, and the community in which he lived, have sustained a great loss. A true Mason, he was ever ready to stretch forth the “strong arm of charity” to aid the weak and helpless. To us it seemed that not finished, yet is broken. In our stems and minds and hearts his memory i? leaves. It’s a good idea to take on perpetual record. We, eac \ a small pail of water to the gar- ; an d all, mourn his loss as a den with you and plunge the faithful friend and Brother.
