water from 20 10 loo feet.
Rainfall sufficient to grow any crop
that can be grown any where in the
wcs. when thc land ispropcrly cul,iva,-

one Of the best wheat countries that can

otherwise when you stop for minute

DECORATIONS FOR BRASS BED
Idea That Makes for Comfort and
Adds to Appearance Of
Room.

Brass beds look charming and at
tract1ve and often brighten an other
wise dark bedroom, but many people
complain that they are far colder
than an ordinary wooden bed that
has high head and footboard to pro-
tect them from drafts. To overcome
this objection clever woman de-
vised a scheme which not only cor
rected this defect, but also added
decorative note to the room.
The hangings and window seat were
made of gray chintz, having garlands
of pink roses scattered over the sur
face. She bought more Of this mate
rial and made covers that slipped
easily over the brass rods at the
head and foot of the bed. These were
finished at the bottom with dainty
frills of the material. A frill was also
fastened around the mattress, which
showed beneath the bedspread.
The covers were found not only to
add much to the physical comfort,
but we're also useful in protecting the
brass from the usual dents and
scratches that are apt to come with
the daily wear and tear of q much
used room.
They were made to be removed
easily II required for special occa-
slons.
