How to Grow

Miniatare Trees For many centuries the Japanese hive closely guarded the secret of Browing miniature trees. By following tho plan here described, however, almost anyone can raise dlanlnutive trees with little trouble. Get a few large, thlck-nkinued oranges and halvo them. Remove the pulp and cover the outside of the skins with thick shellac. That will keep the siin from shrinking, cays tho Baltimore American. Fill the skins with flue, rich soil, and plant therein a seed of whatever tree you wish to raise or, rather, two or three seeds, to Insure at least one good specimen. Make a stand of some kind so that the growing tree can be kept in an upright position, and set the plants where they will get pleuty of sun; but do not keep them in a room that is likely to become overheated. Water them regularly, but not too profusely. After a time the roots will begin' to come through the orange peel. When that happens, cut the roots off flush with the outer surface of tho orango peel, but be careful not to injure the film of shellac. It Is the cutting of. the roots that stunts the tree. When the tree has reached maturity you can transfer it to a more attractive holder. Conifers, such as cedars, pines and cryptomerias can be readily stunted; so also can other evergreen, as Hex and Citrus trifoliata. Some miniature cedars have been known to last more than 500 years. Fruit trees, such as the orango and the plum, blossom and bear perfect fruit. Brooklyn Junior Eagle. HARRY AND THE DOG. Little Harry wanted a dog. He had had many arguements with his mother on the subject. He was sent to a nearby grocery. He was gone so long that his mother grew anxious. Stepping to a window she saw Harry down the street manfully pulling on a rope, the other end of which was tied to the neck of a small dog. The pup was resisting with every step. Braced on all fours, it was pulling back with all of Its small might and barking as loud as possible. Presently Harry triumphantly entered tho room and said, "Mother, won't you let me keep this little dog? It followed me home." Poverty wants some things, luxury many things, avarice all things.

Have you ever spent a vacation in Nova Scotia? If not, you have a rare treat yet in store. It i.s Vacation Land par excellence. No matter what may be your predilection for summer recreation, Nova Scotia can fill the bill. Delightful back-to-nature camps, equipped with modern comforts, are scattered from Yarmouth to Sidney. One of the best known is the Kedgemakoogee Lake. The lake and a wealth of easily available trout-infested streams tempt the fly-casters from early spring to late fall. The comfortable log cabins of the club ensure restful privacy to their occupants, while the Club House provides a social center. Fishing may be enjoyed from the very steps of the Club House or, with a Mic-Mac Indian guide, forays may be made into the surrounding wilderness for Kedgemakoogee is on the edge of the very best moose-hunting and trout-fishing country. More than a few fine moose heads adorn New York w alls, trophies of the chase as followed at Kcdgemakoogee, and many a tired business man looking up at Garden Army a Success President Wilson has granted an appropriation of $200,000 from his national defense fund to carry on the work of the United States School Garden Army of the Bureau of Education, through the next ten month3, beginning September 1, 1918. As the result of the work already done since March, a million and a half of boys and girls are enrolled under some fifty thousand teachersupervisors, and approximately a hundred thousand acres, according to latest estimates, have been placed under cultivation. The garden army organization has been particularly successful in securing the co-operation of a number of other agencies in mobilizing school children for the home war garden. City school men, educational associations, emergency organizations of various sorts, parochial schools, civic organizations, Scouts and the press have been glad of the opportunity to work together. In its official report to Secretary of the Interior Lane, the bureau officials say: "Public school men have welcomed thfs vital educational movement by the Department of the Interior, through the Bureau of Education, as one of the most hopeful things done by the schools as an organization in these times of great national stress and struggle." Brooklyn Junior Eagle.

his trophy, promises himself another trip to the land of its origin. To reach Kcdgemakoogee, one motors out from Annapolis Royal over thirty-five miles of splendid road through a wild and interesting country. There are many such roads in Nova Scotia long, winding roads whose every turn leads into new delights. Nova Scotia is dotted with lakes and criss-crossed with rivers and streams, all of which offer good fishing. Almost every country hotel is next door neighbor to fishing grounds. Among the rivers celebrated for salmon fishing, the Mersey, Medway and Clyde are perhaps the best, although La Mave is popular and the Margaree in Cape Breton is famous for sea trout as "well as salmon. Spots rich in historical interest dot this far-eastern province. The best known is Grand Pre, celebrated as the former country of the Acadians and the home of Evangeline. It will soon be better known, for a shirne is being built there now by descendants of these very Acadians. Annapolis Royal

Many governors of states issued public proclamations calling attention of the children of the state to the United States School Garden Army and encouraging them to enlist as. garden soldiers. Brooklyn Junior Eagle. GO-TO-SUN DAY-SCHOOL DAY. "Go-to-Sunday-School day" has been set for October 27, the last Sunday in that month, according to word in the Sunday school magazine. This will be the second national observation of the clay which has been held, and is expected to be even a greater success than the first. JACK AND THE WHALE. Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jack. He lived with his mother near the seashore. He had a boat. One day while he was rowing on the sea he saw a whale. He started for the shore, but the whale tipped the boat and Jack went In the water. His father saw tho whale tip the boat so he threw Jack a life belt Jack got to the shore in safety. John Charman.

with memories of Champlain and the first French explorers; Roundhill where the governors lived in the long ago, when it bore the more euphonious name of La Rosette; these and many more await visitors who delight in exploring places where history has been made. Halifax is in itself well worth a trip to Nova Scotia. Aside from sight seeing in the city which includes viewing the work of reconstruction, visiting All Saints Cathedral which when finished will be the finest, architecturally, on the continent, wandering through the lovely Public Gardens and Point Pleasant Park and climbing the Citadel Heights, there is that part of the harbor called the North West Arm around which are strung various country clubs Saraguay, MicMac ,and Waegowltic whose members and guests enjoy boating and bathing, fetes and regattas all through the long summer days. Thus Halifax may lay claim to the title of summer resort as well as that of Provincial Capital and National Seaport.
