PRETTY FERN DISH.
CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE TABLE
DECORATION.
Plants That Are inexpensive and
Require Little Care Are the Best
TO Keep Them Always
In Healthy Condition.

The increasing interest in home dec
oration by living plants is well shown
in the present popularity of ferns in
fern dishes. People are learning to
appreciate more fully the beauty of
the small ferns used for this purpose
and are recognizing their value as
units of decoration. While the ferns
are not SO striking in appearance as
many of the Towering plants they
have certain advantages which the lat
ter lack. The ferns thrive away from
direct sunlight; they have SO small a
root development that several plants
can be crowded into small, shallow
dish: they have an unexcelled variety
of beauty In foliage forms and show
lovely and satisfying tones of green.
They are inexpensive and require very
little care.
Among the sorts with coarser leaf
age the well known holly fern is one
Of the best for fern dishes, provided
small plants are chosen. The green
of the young leaves Of this variety Is
much fresher and more attractive than
that Of older leaves and the roots of
young plants are not too large to go in
the dish. Consequently young plants
must be chosen for transplanting
rather than one or two older ones
When they outgrow the dish they
must be replaced by others.
Some of the best ferns for shallow
dishes belong to the genus peteris. a
large group in which very diverse
forms are found. The while-lined
pteris is very attractive sort with
narrow LEAKAGE which is green and
white. The closely related magnifica
variety Is somewhat similar, the slen-
der stems and spreading leaves giving
a fine effect when massed In low
fern dish.
The variety of pteris known as Will
sons fern is certainly one of the very
best sorts for use in fern dishes. 1t
has large leaf surface In comparison
with its root development and the
leaves spread out in such way that
they give flattened effect to the
group. Each frond breaks apart at
it's tip with a number Of fnger-like
branches that give the plant bizarre
and interesting appearance. 1t is a
hardy species and thrives under the
comparative neglect of house condi-
tons.
Perhaps the commonest cause of
failure In keeping the plants in fern

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY Is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other conslderations Mark Il as
Most Suitable Spot for DedI.
cation Of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
in 1915 shall be celebrated with
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums OF
money as an evidence Of their ability
to finance SO great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy Of the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build. will be a great cd
ucational movement. Its success -
such. however. will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages, this In turn, depends up
on its location, as the time In travel
ing to and from the Exposition. and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares. are the most important factors.
Considering these matters. New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from tho
center of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17.60o.00o
people. Within tho same radius from
San Francisco there are only 2.000.00
Within radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans. there are 65,000,0o0.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average Of 900 miles from
New Orleans. there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population Of 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with COM
bined population of Just 100000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2.407 miles.
Over 75 per cent. Of the people Of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, al
against an average of $3.50 to athe
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people. the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques-
tion to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes In December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama Exposi-
ton, and II held In New Orleans Q
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
fore, we urge our readers TO write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or.
