The Cedar Falls band has been secur-
ed for the occasion and the organiza.
ton will be in position to render as
high grade concerts as any band in
the west. Especial effort is being
made in the way of music and several
bands will be secured. An offer has
been made the Waterloo band for con.
certs on the down town streets, but up
to the present time no definite answer
has been received from the organiza-
ton. Vintun, Cedar Rapids, Charles

bands and they will make music all the
time.

The committees having charge Of the
preliminary arrangements state that
teh people are taking interest in the
matter in fine shape and that about
the only thing necessary which could
add to the comfort of the visitors
would be propitious weather. An eff

Waterloo will raise this amount III

CHINESE SACRED LILY.
Do Not submerge in stagnant Water
do Give It Plenty of
Fresh Air.

A reader writes to inquire why his
Chinese sacred lily (Poly-Narcissus
orientalis) Is turning brown at the
tipsaef its foliage. Unfortunately, this
is not an unusual trouble. Probably
the causes are lack of fresh air, stag
mated water, variation Of temperature
and, above all, endeavoring to encour-
age the plants to flower quickly after
the time of starting. To grow this
splendid plant satisfactorily there
must be no extremes; its native habit
Of growth will encourage it to do WELL.
At first the bulbs should be placed in
q bowl or basin Of moderate depth
and sufficient shingle or pebble stones
placed around it to keep it safely in
position. Many think that the water
must be on level with the top of
the bulb. but this is not SO, for 1t
should, only be kept just above the
level Of the shingle. Like most other
bog or aquatic plants. it will not thrive
absolutely under water, but SO long
as the roots are within the moisture
they come to no grief. The roots de-
light in ramifying among the shingls,
and il this is kept clean by regular
supplies of fresh water there is no
cause why the foliage and flower buds
should turn yellow. In the country
where these delightful plants abound
they grow in nothing but bog land,
where shallow streams of water ever
flow. Such conditions suggest the
best methods of treating them at home.
To start them properly cool, dark
cellar or shed is most suitable, but to
induce them to start vigorously they
should be. kept covered with damp
moss. In this condition they will re-
main for several weeks, but when the
growths are about two inches in length
they should be gradually exposed to
light and finally transferred to the
light Of the window or greenhouse
where the temperature Is moderate
The work Of replenishing the water
should be carried out twice weekly.
but. let it be understood that the fresh
supply must be Of the same degree Of
temperature as that which is emptied
away, or check will soon cause the
foliage to 'discolor. Cold water espe-
cially will cause severe check. 1t is
best to stand the water in room

HOLD WAIST AND SKIRT.
Make Fastener at Home Of Large
DrBs-Hooks and Safety Pins
from Discarded Carriers.

: A homemade skirt-and-wais fasten.
er may be made from coaple of large
dress-hooks and the safety -pins from
discarded pair of side garters There
are the little pins used to fasten the
garters to the corset, and having sep
arate slide on one side through which
the elastic passes. They are preferable
to the ordinary safety pins because Of
this slide, which prevents the hook from
slipping out of place.
Sew the dress-hook to the inside of
the skirt band, one on each side of the
center of the back; pin the safety pin
on the waist as high up as it is desired to
lift the shirt band, and fasten by slip
ping the hooks into this little slide in
the pins. This will hold the skirt Sc
curely to place, and, if the pins are
fastened to the substantial part of the
clothing, the waist also will be held
down snug and trim. Each skirt will
need pair Of hooks. though only one
set of pins will be necessary, as these
may be transferred from one waist to
another. There is nothing more annoy
ing about the shirtwaist suit than its
tendency to part company at the waist.
