Everybody Votes for Judges

From comment in papers over the
state there appears to be an impression
that the vote for supreme Judge in this
state, at the primary is in the same
class as for congressman, with the
nomination and election confined to
the district from which the Judge is
chosen. This is an error. While the
selections for nomination must be made
from the various districts into which
the state is divided, the vote by which
the judges are nominated and elected
is that of the electorate of the whole
state. They are selected just as are
state officers, except that they must
reside within a specific district, but
outside that restriction the vote on
judges is the same as it is on governor
or any other state official.

PLANNING FLOWER GARDEN
REQUIRES CAREFUL STUDY
Bedding Certain Kinds
OF Foliage Are Used-Ribbon Beds Are
o % Make.

A very brilliant combination Is
made by filing the center Of circu-
lar bed with calliopsis. rich yellow
and maroon. and surrounding 1t with
white and pale yellow phlox.
The contrast between the dark. rich
yellow Of the calliopsis and the softer
shade of the same color in the phlox
Is charming.
If another color seems advisable
use pink phlox. This harmonizes
beautifully with the stronger tones OF
the calliopsis. .4 sd
The center Of a circular bed can be
filed with scarlet saliva, with mas
turtiums as border. The contrast
between the fiery scarlet and the rich
tones of yellow and orange and sui
phur found in the latter plant, Is ex-
ceedingly lovely, while the pea-green
foliage of the nasturtium affords just
the right amount of that color to
bring into strong relief the blossoms
of both plants. Such a bed any one
can make with very little trouble.
A charming hedge is made by plant
ing scarlet saliva in a row as back
ground, then a row of white ntcot1ana,
with blue ageratum as border. Here
we have the patriotic colors OF our
flag effectively combined. $50
The blue Of the ageratum and the
scarlet of the saliva would prove
rather violent contrast If planted next
each other, but separated by the white
of the nicotiana, their aggressiVeness
is toned down in such manner as to
produce pleasing effect.
A beautiful hedge is made by using
zinnias in the back row. then calliop-
sis with white phlox as border.
Ribbon beds can be worked out
with good effect by using different
colors of the verbena in rows. Such
beds are most pleasing when near the
house or close to the path. where they
can be looked down upon.
But in order to carry out such de-
signs with this flower. 1t will be neces-
sary to purchase plants Of each
color from the florist, who grows them
from cuttings. Seedlings are quite
sure to bring plants Of all colors COM
mon to the family. therefore. are not
to be depended upon where 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to have each color
in its proper place.
Those who have old plants Of gera-
mum, which have been kept over the
winter in the house. can utilize them
in the summer by planting them out.
OF course the effect will be most
pleasing II the pinks and scarlets and
crimsons can be kept by themselves.
Try combining them with such an
nuals as white phlox. yellow calliop-
sis. white nicotiana, or. in the case OF
pink sorts. lavender ageratum.
II you have odd plants Of Madam
Salleroi geranium. break them apart

PRUNING HOOK IS HOMEMADE

The pain Of scratches and picks

he thinks of pruning the raspberry
bushes or other bush fruits. especially
where he has not had good tools for
performing the job, says the Michigan
Farmer. The work IL so miserable
that It is generally left undone. The
illustrated pruning hook will help to
overcome many Of the undesirable fea-
lures connected with cleaning out Of
the hills on these fruits. The hook
is used for cutting those canes that
can be hooked, and for this purpose
the inner edge Of the hook is made
sharp, while the spud is for ampu
tating such canes as happen to stand
close to another that Is to be left or is
otherwise situated that the hook can
not be used. The spud cuts the cane
nearer the ground than can be done
with the hook. Both are, however.
very necessary for complete imple-
ment. Besides It's use in cutting, the
hook is convenient in pulling the
pruned canes from among the stand
ing ones into the row where they can
be gathered and taken from the plan

Used in each row.
Ribbon beds would become monot-

advisable to have something else for

Next to them the circular bed is
easiest to make. would not advise
too many colors.
Have the center of one color, say
lavender. If asters are used, then a
row Of pale pink, with white in the
outside row.
This arrangement of colors can
be varied to suit individual taste.
If sweet-alyssum or white candytuft
lis used as an edging, the effect is
heightened. as these plants bring a
mass of foliage and bloom down to
the ground, and hide the tall stalks
of the asters.

Personally l am not much Of an
admirer of carpet or ribbon bedding
or the designs" which the enthusi-
astic amateur gardener frequently at
tempts. but is pretty sure to abandon
later in the season. because he discov-
ers that designs work out unsatis-
factorily in ANIMALS.
The fact is, carpet bedding plants
are only effective when certain kinds
Of foliage plants are used because
they can be kept within their proper
limits by shearing and pruning. while
the annuals have too much sprawl"
to be tractable and very few kinds
give sufficient mass of bloom to
produce tho desired effect.
We are likely to think that because
plant has yellow, red or blue flow
ers, that 1t will prove effective wher-
ever these colors are desired, but we
lose sight of the fact that the flow
ers will be 80 few in number and SO
far apart that there is seldom any
solid color effect such as is necessary
In properly working out patterns.
This being the case. only the sim
pier designs should be attempted with
annuals. and only such effects aimed
at, as can be produced by contrast in
which harmony plays an important
part.
Ribbon beds are easiest of all to
make. Very pleasing ones can be

darker colors are preferred, the scar
