cannot say. But there Is a dir-
ference. - . . i . .
In . the ; midwest town where I
lived asa boy were several
churches'". And there was a hall.
in which -was a stage and scene
ry. We called this hall the opry
house. "Shows' came only at long
intervals. One circus la year was
the rule. And there was a week
of county fair. j
Boys went in gangs In those
days. Birds of a feather flocked
together. And these gangs were,
for the. most part, enemies. There
existed no reason, whatever for
enmity between themj It just was.
Nor was this spirit maniiestea
by the boys alone. The democra
tic leaders did not as a rule speaK
to the republican leaders when
they passed in the street.
The gang with which I affilia
ted and. other gangs were more
or less the same was naturally
somewhat put to it to satisfy a
craving for amusement. A few of
the sissy boys went to parties, but
most of us shied off from parties
and from girls.
So you see how it was. We were
virtually forced to go to cuurch
for entertainment. Of course, on
Sunday we'd have gone to church
and Sunday school anyway. Our
mothers and sometimes our fath
ers Insisted on It. Some of the
boys had better luck than I. My
folks belonged to the : dullest
church In town. I reckon I so con
sidered it because the preacher
wad a highly educated man, and
was unable to make out what
he was driving at in his sermons.
But his benedictions were swell.
Our church never had revivals,
either, and this looked to me like.
a weakness, i
In the other churches, or in
some of- them at 'least, revivals
were of frequent occurrence. We
were regular attendants at these
-revivals. We even went so far a 3
to put an occasional nickel in the
basket, the idea being that it
might serve to ginger up the re
vivalist. 1
Goodness knows, he didn't need
a great deal of gingering up. But
he said we'd be blessed if we con
tributed, and he insinuated
strongly that we'd be damned If
we didn't. Simple enough, wasn't
it? Nobody would) be likely to
spend all summer making up his
mind in a case likethat.
We liked him best when he
talked about hell. And he certain
ly made out that hell was a right
good place to avoid if possible.

u.Z
in his descriptions one night, and
gave us quite a pleasant thrill.
Almost a shudder. It was. Well
worth a nickel. He said and he
may have been quoting . from
somebody, I dunno that hell is
a dayless, flaming horror of con
suming fires, where damned souls
roar without pity, and gluttons
are fed on toads and snakes, and
burning oil Is poured down the
throats, of drunkards, and mur
derers are forever stabbed, but
never die. Something worth lis
tening to. that was, and we cer
tainly enjoyed it.
Perhaps there are places where
hell, as a pit of everlasting tor
ment is still considered as seri
ously as It was years ago, and it
Is possible there are Individuals
who accept the word and its hor
rors much as individuals held it
in ttW past. But, if so, I do not
know who or where they are. The
folks I know in these days use
the word largely to indicate a con
dition of misery, such as pain or
heat or cold or awkward neigh
borly conditions. It Is capable of
many applications. Some folks,
who have a "tough" complex, em
ploy it frequently.
But it does not
sound very
wicked any mere.
Marc Connelly's Pulitier prize
play, "The Green Pastures",
which has bad a Salem showing
during the week, practically ig
nores hell, although the Lawd,
ooklng from one of the windows
of heaven, mentions the ol devil
as being! in range of his vision,
ana expresses confidence that he
will be able to handle him with
out great difficulty.
Speaking of "The Green Pas
tures", I cannot but feel that the
Pulitzer award committee was
actuated more by a desire to re
ward novelty of conception than
by any other quality of the pro
duction. Aside from the beauty of
the negro music, which at Inter
vals accompanies the action
throughout, and the Bible teach
er with' his class of piccaninnies,
who introduce the Old Testament
scenes, some of us find not much
in the play to arouse enthusiasm:
I am definitely In favor of.
progress. As between sanitary
foods and unsanitary foods, I do
not hesitate to make a choice. Of
course, as to politics, it is differ
ent. Two or more parties put
forth claims to being progressive,
ana a fellow may find it neces
sary to hesitate quite a bit before
choosing the one for which to
vote. I am not inclined to be un
reasonable. I shall vote for the
party which tells fewer lies than
the other parties tell. We cannot
be too particular in politics. But
as to sanitary and unsanitary
foods, of course, there is no ques
tion. I recall when the first her
metically sealed packages of
crackers came to the corner gro
cery, to mention one of many ar
ticles. That was progress. We
knew when we saw those hermet
ically sealed packages of crackers
that civilization had sneaked up
on us at last. And we were glad.
But, also, we were sad. The open
barrel of crackers at the end of
the counter, which savored con
siderably of tobacco and coal oil
after we had carried a bag of
them home, but which tasted most
amazing good when dipped into
and eaten at the store, was doom
ed.1 And with the cracker barrel,
and the open boxes of dried
prunes and other delicacies, pass
ed the era of hot stove romance.
It seemed a sort of shame, but, of
course, it was all right.
V never heard the storekeeoer
complain about it. ;
Not all the "finds" faorit tn

vor hoped for by their sponsors.
These "find8, usually meet wifi
some approval; but the theatre

sponsive. However, so far as Sa
lem . may be a criterion in snr-h
matters, the French actress. Si-

country. Her first American pic
ture, "Girls Dormitory", in which
she is supported by a com nan v

general praise. And the praise is

Song of the Hoppicker
j By One of Them 'r V::V. -V
There are folk who think the
work in the-berry, fields, bean
patches, and hop ranches . is
nothing but . drudgery. - But i to
those who make . their spending
money or money for school in this
way, it Is not so. What then is
done to make the time pass in
these places so it is a vacation
for: the youngsters, at least? Many
young people work in these fields
and they find a way to ' make
merry even while pickin and
working fast; to there is rivalry
and many aspire to be the best
picker. They visit, get acquainted,
they kid each other, sing, or just
talk. Some discuss more serious
things-things they have read or
learned in class-room. This is true
especially of the youngster who is

How Docs Your Garden Grow?
Treatment is Suggested for Mealy Bugs,
Which Infest House Plants
Many complaint keep com
ing to me about small scaly bugs
on porch and house plants. These
are undoubtedly
the mealy bug
and- should be
treated persist
ently, for they
are a serious
pest if permitted
to continue.
Mealy bugs have
killed m a n y a
fine : fern or
other house
plant.
In treating
these bugs, if X Vt
possible cut out tIEutm-iJam'Sk
and burn the tm U atadaaa
most badly Infected stems. Spray
thoroughly with nicotine sulphate
and whale oil soap. Another way
of ridding the plants of these
bugs is to take a mixture of half
wood alcohol . and .half water,
wrap a small' stick with cotton,
dip into the solution and touch
each bug with the cotton.
I also have at hand a com
plaint about diseased delphin
iums. Some of the plants, I am
told, have turned yellow and in
others the stems have become
black and decayed. :' ' - . .
. Tulip Time i '-.'
This disease; is not uncommon
in delphiniums.. If the plants are
not too far gene, cut out the di
seased part and burn. By this I
mean take up the plant and cut
oft the diseased part of the
crown. Dust the roots with sul
phur and set out the plants in a
new location. In the spring spray
with lime sulphur or bordeaux.
September is the beginning of
tulip planting time In the Willam
ette valley. There are many beau
tiful new varieties, and more old
ones. Perhaps each spring you
have planned to get some of the
Clusiana tulip, that little rock
tulip which may remind one of a
radish made into a flowery look
ing affair to garnish a salad.
Well, now is the time of the year
to get and plant it.
Another good rock tulip is the
Florentina Odorata, a pointed
yellow, with a bronze Interior.
This will1 grow on about' 16-inch
stems. A. shorter-stemmed rock
tulip is the Kaufmanniana, some
times called the water-lily tulip.
This blooms very early and grows
only about 12 inches high. The
flowers are creamy yellow.
Pink quartz is an early flower
ing variety which is particularly
good in the rock garden. It rose
pink blooms are carried on sturdy
stems only eight inches high.
Among the new Darwin vari
eties are such as afterglow, a
clear deep rose with a brilliant

Planting Depth
.There always seems to be some
doubt of the planting depth for
tulips. Some growers recommend
on an average soil, a depth ' of
4 to 5 inches from the top of the
bulb to the surface of he soil.
In heavy soils, the bulbs should
not be planted quite so deep as
in the lighter soils. An inch dif
ference should be allowed. We
are told it is better to err on the
side of planting too deep rather
than too shallow. It is an error
to plant' the bulbs shallow and
then ridge soil over the rows to
secure the necessary depth.
It is not necessary . to set your
tulips oat before . the middle of
October. But you should order
them at once so that you can-
have a good selection.
Where moles or field mice are
troublesome, sprinkle about
halt-t e a s p o o n of napthalene
flakes over each bulb after, it has
been set out' and before it is
covered with soil, r
The soil must be well prepared
and drainage must be good.
. Manure is not recommended
for bulbs because it breeds harm
ful bacteria; and also causes 1 the
bulb to decay by holding exces
sive moisture around it. Bone
meal is sometimes used and if
the soil is very poor, a small

mixed well with the soil.
f Cultivate Bed -If
yon happen to have an es
tablished tulip bed which you do
not care to dig up this year,
give ft some shallow cultivation,
remove and keep off all weeds
and mix some complete plant
food into the soiL But do not
over-fertilize any of your bulbs.
Experienced growers do not re
commend leaving tulips in the
ground year after year. Commer
cial growers take up and replant
their bulbs every year.
"I have planted my Lupines

Anyone interested in seeing a de
lightful splash of color should

Mr. Delay has- had an unusually
fine display of summer flowers for
the past three months or more.
Vine's Name Given .
In answer to the . request for
the name of the vine which is now
in bloom with orange or scarlet
blooms: This must be the trum
pet vine (Campsis). This vine pre
fers rather moist rich soil in a
sunny location. It can be propa
gated by either soft or hardwood
cuttings. I
If your lily-of-the-valley failed
to bloom last spring you should
now thin out the bed by division
and replanting. This - is usually
necessary every four or five year".
Divide . the clumps into ' smaller
pieces, set them out three or four
inches apart and about two inches
below the surface of the ground.
September is an excellent time
to divide and replant old clumps
of hardy phlox and to set out new
stock such as the much publicized
Columbia. Old clumps should be
lifted, divided and replanted ev
ery three or four years. Phlox re
quire an open sunny situation.
Alter flowering, old heads of
phlox should be removed to pre
vent them going to seed. Fre
quently when perennial phlox are
permitted to develop seed, result
ing seedlings overpower the nam
ed varieties thus giving rise to
the theory that phlox revert and
do not remain true to color. This
theory is not true. j . -
