Let's figure it out and see.
How much would you charge to 60 to the
grocers or the provision dealers?
How much would you give, on stormy day,
to be able to visit distant friend?
How much would it be worth, in case your
child were taken suddenly ILL at night, to be able
to summon the doctor at once and, perhaps by
special instructions from him by wire, to be able
to give temporary relief pending his arrival or
even to save it's life?
The expense of telephone is not figured by
what it costs for hole year, but by how much
it saves each time it is used Therefore, with all
these things in mind, ask yourself
Can | Afford to be Without
a Telephone?
IF you need further details as to cost ask
your Local Manager to send Contract Agent
to see you.

lecturer of the evening, and he was, to
use his own words, "a trifie flustered. !"
The buzz OF conversation which had
filled the hall ceased as Mr.. Swan
squeaked on to the platform, and the
groups of villagers dissolved and sank
decorously on the benches.
This, ladies and gentlemen, Is the
evening for our lecture on How to
Know the Bushes" said Mr.. Swan,
waving his hand over his shoulder to-
ward the visitor.
"Tt's now quarter before eight, and

longer, or whether he'd begin right off.

JENNIE FOSTERS GARDEN

Old tin cans, flower pots and boxes
were utilized to start Jennie Fosters
garden up on a fiat roof in a crowded
section. Jennie planted her seeds, and
to water them she brought up water
in pitcher from the spigot in the yard,
Pouring the water from the pitcher
washed out all the seeds. Nothing
daunted she started her garden again,
and poured the water on by the table,
spoonful. This also proved too heavy
a dose, and again the seeds were
washed out. Then Jennie put her wits
to work to solve the problem, for a
garden she was determined to have.
Taking an old can, she hammered a
rusty nail through it until she had
made holes enough for a respectable
watering pot, and so her problem was
solved.
There are plenty of examples of sim
liar persistence. Margaret and Kath-
crime Anderson have created a very
pretty garden on a wash bench in the
yard. One boy trundled the needed
dirt in small wheel barrow for sew
eral squares, In order to fill a tub
which was all he had to use for a
garden. A little girl had only a mar
row strip of soil along the side of her
home, but she turned that into a bower
of beauty with her morning glory vines,
training them up on q trellis of rags
tied together, for she had no string
The seeds for this garden work are
an important item. Several seed firms
of the city have made a generous con-
tribution of seeds which will stock
many gardens this spring. If suburban
friends would gather up some of their
4-o'clocks, morning glory, scarlet sage
and other seed, that drop in the fall
and go to waste, what splendid gift
that would be to these little gardenersl

HOMES IN TREE sTUMPs

The fine frs of the Pacific northwest
are so colossal that after the trees
are hewed down the stumps are used
for children's Fairgrounds houses for
families to live in or for dancing plat
forms
To make a stump house the material
from the interior is removed, leaving
only enough to form walls of a suitable
thickness. A roof of boards or shingles
is put over the top of the stump, holes
are cut for windows and doors, and a
family of five can and often does make
it their dwelling. The stump houses
are sometimes used by settlers until
they can build larger and more con-
yenient homes.
After the stump home has been va
Gated it is turned into an inclosure
for chickens or hogs.

MANY PICTURES OF MERIT
OMITTED BECAUSE OF SPACE

Pictures on the subject Getting
Lessons" were great improvement
on the contributions in this contest
for several weeks. They were all the
required size, most of them drawn
with black ink, and there were only
two pictures on thin paper, and those
drawn by one of the new artists.
Many of the pictures show a decided
improvement in technic; the lines are
stronger and blacker, and in many
the style is interesting and beautiful.
There were SO many pictures of good
quality and so many interesting ideas
and styles of work that it was almost
impossible to select the prizes without
omitting pictures of merit, SO those
whose pictures were not printed this
week will have no need to feel dis
couraged, for if the work continues
to improve, each one will have a pic
ture printed at some time.
Helen Knecht's picture is drawn in
her own familiar style, but the idea
is new and interesting. The lines are
stronger in the picture by Nellie Brans-
NOIIl lllelI III llldily VI luC OlncE piC-
lures, but the one defect is a great
detraction, the table is quite crooked.
Bertha Shumway has a good idea ana
it is drawn in an interesting style.
The reclining figure is we'll drawn,
and is a clever addition to the pic
ture. Ruth Chadwick's picture is
drawn with good proportions and per-
spective, the lines are strong and even,
but the whole picture is a trifle stifr.
Wireless Telegraphy is of so much
interest at present that the picture
by John Oshanpa has a double import
ance. The style is characteristic of
the artist and shows that he has
thorough knowledge of his subject.
Other drawings of exceptionally good
quality were by Ethel Buchanan, who,
however, used blue ink, and whose per-
spectiVe is not good Helen Coffman,
whose picture is drawn with good per-
spective and good scenic effects, but
the central figure of which is ungain-
ly aud awkward. John Oshanna, whose
idea IS good and contrasts fine, but
the face of the figure not well drawn.
Roland Rivera, whose style is inter-
esting. technic good and idea clever,
indeed, but the figure awkward and
stiff Mott Haines, whose central fig
ures are drawn in good style, but who
has made the distances too great and
proportions a little wrong Milton
Basham used a good style and back
grounds well worked out, but whose
central figures are slightly awkward
and a little out of proportion. Margaret

but whose central figures are natural
and graceful. Rose Williams, whose

Next to the big trees of California
the fir or sequoia of Washington and
Oregon has the largest diameter. AS
they decay rapidly the following out is
easy. Sometimes they are used for
dance platforms, some of them accom-
modating as many as four couples.
Another custom is to turn the big
stumps into Fairgrounds for the chill
dren. The children reach the top by
pieces of wood nailed against the sides
or by ladders. A beautiful use of the
large stumps is making them into
flower beds and covered over with
trailing Vines.-Chicago Tribune.
