What q lot OF crimes are committed
against the flowers In arranging them.
! ft Is not enough to love flowers as
they grow in fields and garden: one
must know what to DO with them when
Seulled.
When We have the artist sense with
flowers the artist touch Is easily ac-
quired. We know by instinct that
long.stemmed flowers like iris. lilies
md snapdragon must go, few at n
time, into tall slender vases and not
be robbed OF their stems and huddled
Into sowl.
We shosld not associate in the same
vase flowers that have nothing in COM
mon in the garden. No one should see
III our rooms sunflowers and hot
house roses, lilies Of the valley and
golden rod in the same holders. Each
bassits place indoors, but not together.
Feeling will not permit us to rob
flowers Of their foliage or their stems;
%ill not permit us to mass tall-grow-
b plants that should sway and make

THE FARMER is SATISFIED.

In this year 1910 the tariff is q
more vital issue than ever before.
Free trade would be more disastrous
to general prosperity now .ban ever
before in the history Of America;
more disastrous 10 the farmer; more
disastrous to the wage.earner and
more disastrous to every american
interest. Protection to American
products and American manufactures
has created demand for tho home
made articles; the demand for home.
made articles gives employment to
home laborers and employed labor
makes a market and demand for
farm products.
The manufacturers, the wage.earn.
ers and the farmers have rTcspered
under protection as they never pros.
pered before and are independent Of
everything but protection. The
wage-earners and the ;.produc.
ers are more dependent upon the
tariff for their employment ind pros.
perity, than are the manufacturers,
which accounts for the mlnu.actur-
crs In certain lines demanding free
raw material.
Farmers are large producers OF
raw.material in many instances and
wage-earners are employed in pro-
ducing raw.material. What are you
going to do about It? Democratic
