Why wait until Spring to enjoy the glorious colors of Springbloom ing bulbs? Those who have attempt ed the growing of these flowers in doors know that there is no reason to wait; that the "forcing" of bulbs as it is incorrectly termed is one of the simplest, easiest and most sat isfactory of all types of gardening. Even city children, with no gar dening experience whatsoever, know that Paper White narcissi and hya cinths can be flowered in a sunny window, with nothing but water to nourish them. But many gardeners who have had plenty of joyful ex- perience in growing tuiips, uauu dils, hyancinths and other flowers in the open fail to realize that it is possible to have a constant succes sion of these same flowers covering, if desired, the long season from Thanksgiving to Easter with little trouble and at moderate expense. The surprising and delightful part of it is that all the work required in connection with such a continuous display can be done at one time. The bulbs, once suitably planted, arc merely stored away until wanted, and then "brought in for flowering, with little more trouble than one spends in getting a can of fruit or vegetables from a cellar shelf and opening it. "Forcing' Not Necessary. Unforunately the term "forcing' has been so generally applied to the process of growing bulbs indoors that the uninitiated often have the idea that high temperatures and hot house treatment are required to ob tain the results which they have so greatly admired in florists' windows or in the homes of friends. Far from requiring hot-house treatment, all of the Spring-kower-ing or "Dutch" bulbs do best with a moderate temeperature; a tempera ture, in fact, considerably lower than that given many of the popular house plants, and available in most mod ern, centrally heated homes. And even this moderate temperature is not required until the plants are to be flowered prior to that they are simply stored away in any dark, cold place, where, if they happen to freeze, it is all the better. Thus hardy bulbs for Winter blooming are not "forced"; they are simply grown indoors, instead of in the open garden, and consequently bloom a few weeks or months earlier than they would under outdoor conditions. Preliminary Root Growth. The one big secret of success in growing bulbs indoors is to secure a good development of roots before top growth is made. This of course is only following out nature's proc ess. When the gardener plants t tulip or a daffodil bulb in the Fall, the flower, complete in every detail, is already neatly folded away in the heart of the bulb a fact which any one can determine for himself by cutting a bulb in two, from top to bottom, and carefully removing the embryo flower. But when such a bulb is planted in the garden, vigorous new roots de velop almost immediately, while nc corresponding growth from the top of the bulb is made. Hoot action continues until the ground freezes hard around the bulbs, but the leaves do no more than poke their noses out of the tops of the bulbs, in readiness to make an instant start when the ground thaws again in the Spring. The problem of the gardener who wants to enjoy Spring bulbs during the Winter months is to hold back the top growth until the roots have developed fully. This is done by supplying the bulbs with moisture to induce the roots to start, and at the same time keeping the bulbs fcufficiently cold so that the tops will remain dormant. Once this is under stodo, the key to complete success is in the gardener's hands, even though it may be his first attempt at Winter bulb gardening. Soil and Containers. It is a fact, already mentioned that the dry and dormant bulb, as received from the seedsman or bulb grower, already contains a perfect flower in miniature that makes it possible to grow some of the bulbous flowers by merely supplying watei for their roots. More normal growth, and flowers which last longer in bud and bloom are obtained, however when the bulbs are planted in soil or in "bulb fibre," a material pre pared especially for the purpose which is light, clean and convenient. Soil lor potting bulbs is readily prepared by mixing, and putting through a soil sieve, equal portions of garden loam and commercia" 20-Minute-01d Baby Operated On f - 7'"'' t - J' Recently Baltimore doctors performed an appendectomic opera tion on a 30-minute eld haby.

Patricia Ann is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. 0. Womble. humus, peat moss or leaf mold, with the addition of sufficient sand tc give a gritty terture and assure per fect drainage. A little fine bone meal or bone flour a four or live inch potful to a bushel of soil is a desirable addition, but not essential. After the soil is mived it is thor oughly moistened. The dry peat moss or humus absorbs a great amount of water, and it is an advantage to ap ply this before planting the bulbs instead of afterward. - The most convenient container for bulbs to be flowered a few at a time, in Winter gardens or on window sills, is the ordinary earthenware "bulb pan," an abbreviated flowei pot, which does not readily tip or blow over. These pans may be placed in bowls or jardinieres while the bulbs are in flower. A method often employed by gardeners who grow larger numbers of bulbs is to place them in ordinary flats, from which they can be taken, when the buds are well developed, and combiner with other plants in attractive ar rangements. The bulb pans or other containers. with some coarse material placed over the drainage holes, having been filled about two-thirds full of the prepared soil or fibre, the bulbs are put in place. They are spaced at in tervals about equal to their own dai meters or slightly closer. A six-inch bulb pan will accommodate five tc seven daffodil bulbs ef average size. The bulbs are placed so the tops are slightly below the rim of the pot or pan, and soil is then filled in so that only the tips show. They are then thoroughly watered or, still better allowed to soak up water from the bottom until moisture shows on the surface of the soil. For convenience later on, when the bulbs are brought in, a long label, indicating the va riety planted, is placed in each con tainer. Burying the Bulbs. The next step is to put the pans or flats away until roots develop. A trench a fot deep and 12 to IS inches wide is made in some convenient place, such as .against the shaded side of a fence, or the garage. An inch or two of cinders, placed in the bottom, provides drainage. The con tainers are placed on this, and soil, leaves or peat moss packed around them and over them to the depth of an inch or so. Moist peat moss is best for this purpose as it maintains an even moisture supply, and the pots come out clean. The peat moss, after having been employed for this purpose, is, of course, as good as ever for garden use. The trench is then partly filled in with soil four inches or so. Later, a. the ground begins to freezs, a covering of straw or leaves is added, held in place with wire or boards, The bulbs may be stored in a dark room or cellar, instead of in e trench, if the temperature can ge kept low enough below 40 degrees for a good part of the time. The time required for root devel opment varies from four to eight weeks. Paper Whites and other ten der daffodils may be ready in the shorter period; slow bulbs, such as most of the Darwin tulips, are usu ally not brought in until after the first of the year. Examination will show when the roots have develop ed sufficiently to fill pots or pans, Y and the tips have pushed up an inch cr so from the bulbs. Conditions of Growth. When first brought in, the bulbs are given only moderate warmth, and are kept from direct sunlight. There is little danger of having them too cool one need but picture the conditions under which Spring bulbs develop in the open to realize this. Plenty of moisture, however, is giv en. In a few days, after the white or yellow sprouts have turned green, the plants are given all the sunlight possible. As the leaves develop, they will stand more warmth, but a tem perature of 30 to CO degrees at night is sufficient. The number of Spring bulbs which may be used for Winter bloom pro vides a range to suit any indoor gar dener. Tulips, especially the Single Earlies, daffodils of early flowering types, and hyacinths, are the most popular, but many others, such as crocuses, and other small early Spring bulbs may be added. The charming little Roman hyacinths are preferred by many to the large-headed, stiff "exhibition" type. Seme of the best of the Single Early tulips for indoors are Fred Moore, delightfully fragrant; Le Rene (Ilobbema), satiny old rose and exceptionally long lasting; Prosperpine, very early; Pink Beau ty and White Hawk. William Cope land is a Darwin which may be flow ered early inside and Clara Butt is also easily grown. Many of the Cot tage Tulips, specially adapted tc growing indoors, are indicated in the catalogues. Bulbs used for blooming indoors need not be throw naway. If the pots, af te flowering, are put in a cool place, with some light such as a cellar window and watered often enough to keep the soil moist, the foliage matures normally and dies down. In the Spring the bulbs are planted in garden beds or borders, and after a years growth will flower again. By F. F. Rockwell in New York Times.

Owing to the snappy weath er, there were not a large number of spectators. When we inquired of one who was not there about the outcome cf the game he said that a little be fore "sundown the team of Mr. Kuehn had 141 runs in and the one backed by Mr. Brunkow had 773, but we do not believe this, for it would have taken many miles cf travel, so we will cut it down to 14 and 5. How will that do?

Enjoyed a Merry Time As Wednesday was to be Hallowe'en and all would be busy, the teachers of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades of the Murdock schools spon sored a playlet which was put on by the students and say but they put on a very fine play, which was enjoyed by the large number who were in at tendance. Enjoy Hallowe'en Party The high school students of Mur dock met at the school gym last Tues day evening, where they enjoyed a party in honor of the patron saint from which Hallowe'en derived its name, and say did they have fun. We say they did, and plenty of it. You know how it is when people try to bite into an apple suspended by a string cr to pick an apple out of a tub of water with one's teeth. That was just a few of the many stunts arrang ed by the committee in charge. Better ask some one who was there how they got along.
