rules, says the Los Angeles Times.
BE regular and punctual in attendance
Keep garden orderly. Keep record

courteous to all, and if absent or late
furnish excuse from parent or teacher.
II any one repeatedly breaks these
rules his relation With the school Will

week-Wednesday after school and
Saturday morning one hour each per,
od. They will work in the garden,
through the summer vacation. If
pupil IS absent. substitute Is sent.
Badges or pins Of green and white arn
worn, telling garden. number and time
OF class. Notebooks are kept, record
Ing the temperature, attendance, date,
time Of planting, plan Of garden ant:
any other notes they care to record.
When insects are found or birds
heard, questions are asked and notice
taken Of their habits. etc. During The
summer children will be taken In small
groups on short walks to hear tho
voices Of nature. The children already
give advice to parents, telling them the
best methods for planting cucumbers
and beans and setting out tomato
plants. The parents and friends take
much interest, visiting the garden
while the children work, helping to
keep their notes correctly and the gar
den In good order The Woman's club

On the wall from this time on. It will

b: MY daughter thought II would re-
new the ancient favor Of things to put

Of the coolest nights Of the winter she
filed the pan end with live Goals, shut
the lid and put the pan into one Of the
beds. In little while the house was
oued with smoke. which. on being
traced to Its origin, was found to come
from the bed, which was afre. With
4 few olden time wood smbers these
warming pans were all right, but with

BOOMING HIS TOWN.
How Young Board Of Trade President
"Mede Good" With the People.

Systematic town boosting is foa-
ture Of American business activity
which aims at the genera good instead
Of persona, profit. One western town
had q board of trade which had sent
along for ears without doing anything
In particular. except eating some food
once a year at a banquet and listening
to some spread eagle oratory, says the
Pittsbnrg Dispatch. The organiza sion
became moribund and It's presidency
was an honor no longer sought for.
The directors met and gave the pace
to Young man Of the type 1--WE like to
encourage" The young man took his
fob seriously and went to work. It
wasn't long before he grew an idea Of
his own.
Every family that moved to town he
spotted. Employment was provided
for the breadwinners where necessary.
and the new people were made to feel
at home. When this personal atten.
ton had got in its work, a representa-
tive of the board OF trade interviewed
the head OF the new family. This H.
teryiew was incorporated into letter:
mlmeograph copies were made, put into
stamped envelopes and made ready to
mail Then the letters were taken to
the newcomer. and he was asked to
address them to his friends black
east" The scheme worked like magic,
end the population doomed. OF that
idea many new ones We're born. The
young man has been several times re-
elected president of the board Of trade
and L" can have anything the people
Of that town can give him.
