Spade Best for Smaller Gardens; Process Explained for Amateur at Work Plowmen and teams are scarce around cities and the smaller garden plots can often be spaded to much greater advantage than they can be plowed. Where there are a group of community gardens located on a clear plot of ground, they can often be plowed together and thus considerable labor Is saved. , But the small garden plots, especially in back yards, must be spaded. A considerable area can be spaded If the work is done a little at a time eo that ft docs not become tiresome. A good Job of spading will always put the land in better condition than plowing, but there are a few points in connection with good spading that should be thoroughly understood. The United States Department of Agriculture specialists explain them as follows: In the first place, the land should never be turned when it is extremely wet. The plowman's test is to sque&ze together a handful of freshly turned earth and if it stacks together in a ball with the imprint of the hand upon it, it is too wet for plowing or spading. But if it crumbles when the pressure is released, the soil may be considered dry enough to spade or plow. Second, do not turn the land up in large spadefuls. Begin at one side of the plot and work back and forth across the plot, maintaining a straight line, cutting the soil in thin spadefuls, and turning it completely over. If the soil does not crumblp readily, use the edge of the spade and break up each spadeful immediately after it is turned. For this work the ordinary squareTointed spade is considered the most desirable. On loose soils and on land that was spaded or plowed during the autumn, a four-tined spading fork is often preferable to a spade. While the fork will not turn the bottom soil to the surface quite as well as the Tipade, this complete turning is not desirable on land that was plowed or spaded last fall, and the fork leaves the soil in a more finely divided condition. The lumps that escape breaking during the spading process should be pulverized within an hour or so after the land is turned over. This can be done either with a steel rake or with a hoe, care being taken to go deeply enough into the soil to break up all :lods that wiH interfere with planting. Thorough preparation of the soil is the keynote to success in gardening. Spade reasonably deep and loosen the ;lower strata of soil without bringing very much of the subsoil to the surface. The English gardeners spade two or three lengths of the spade, in depth, working manure into the subsoil to a depth of 12 or 14 inches. Half the work of cultivation should be done before the seeds are planted in the -garden. Teacher Shortage Theme of Talks hy Leaders E. J. Louellen. county superintendent of Henry county, and County Superintendent Williams addressed a meeting of the Parent-Teachers' association in Centerville Sunday afternoon.

To Peel Off Freckled, Blotchy, Pimpled Skins As March winds, flying dust and dirt, are apt to iiflure any complexion, this information will be of special value right now. If you have any cutaneous blemish, don't use paint, powder or anything else to cover it up. Too often this only emphasizes the defect. Besides, it's much easier to remove the disfigurement with ordinary mercolized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradually remove freckles, pimples, moth blotches or any surface eruption. The affected cuticle is absorbed, a little each day, until the clear, soft, youthful and beautiful skin beneath is brought wholly to view. Ask the druggist for one ounce of mercolized wax and use this like you use cold cream. Remove in the morning with soap and water. Many who have tried this simple, harmless treatment report astonishing result. Advertisement.

4 SAILORS KILLED IN U. S. SUBMARINE

(By Associated PreSs) SAN DIEGO. Cal.. March 15. Survivors of the United States submarine H-l, which grounded last Friday at the entrance to Magdalena bay- lower California, with the loss of Lieut. Commander James R. Webb and three members of the crew are aboard the steamer Mazatlan, due here March 18. according to advices received here today.
