Contrasts of color In some parts of

that include but one tone. yellow or
pink or purple have their full value.
It is a good plan where large spaces
are to be planted to have one part

vines. shrubs and plants are all Of
harmonious shades Of pale reds. with
deep reds in shadowy corners; anoth-

some retired moist bit of ground. mass
delphinium in q sunny plot near q
shield of trees. and campanulas near
banks of fern. Vines draped from
tree to tree. clambering over q pergola
or running along q wall. aid greatly In
bringing about a sense Of unity.
A constant procession Of color can
be had by a little careful planting
For instance. in the corner of the gar.
den where yellow Is the color scheme.
daffodils, tulips. yellow hyacinths and
crocus should be planted under or
near the forsythia bushes. Coreopsis.
calliopsis and marigolds can be set
thickly as borders. and the closer the
flowers are massed the better for their
growth. for the ground Is thus kept
moist by the thick shade Of intermin.
Cling leaves. Yellow pansies can be
set in front of these, nasturtiums or
even the gay sunfiower at the back OF
them.
Put the meadow lily and garden iris
in a moist place and the yellow Japa-
nese lily In sunny plot. Scatter
thickly the seeds of the California
poppy in ground that is too sunny for
most other flowers. and they can be
depended upon to furnish the gayest
splash of color In the whole garden.

MAKE THE HOME BEAUTIFUL

Small Trees for Shade,

Prof. c. H. Goetz OF the forestry
department in the state university
does not favor the planting Of very
large trees for shade. In q bulletin
containing advice as to the planting
Of trees on Arbor day he suggests that
large trees. as a rule, suffer more from
transplanting than small ones and
says that large tree will continue to
grow uninterruptedly and the sooner
make a large one.
He counsels against planting any
kind Of tree In any old place Just
for the sake Of planting. Thought OF
its future development and care
should be taken. Trees for transplant
ing, he says. should never be more
than three inches in diameter. From
one to three inches base measure IL
the best for most trees.-Columbus

What We Are Doing

store is no longer clean when II Is

where we can hear II said that our
merchants are taking more pride In
their stores, and they are. Few towns
OF 500 inhabitants can show MS
beautiful stores as Berea.
And we are noticing each other.
We are noticing the lawns in front
OF the houses and the back yards,
too. There was q time when we blush
ed and made excuses when We had
TO receive callers In the back yard.
but that day Is rapidly passing.
The old fences are coming down
and there is a good sale OF grass seed
aud lawn mowers. The garbage can
has made It's appearance on the
streets of Berea and wants TO find
its way 10 the back yard-and away
back. too, Of every home. IL wants
handles on II too so II may be re-
moved often.
The privy--a subject which could
not be mentioned few years ago
is now the topic OF frequent CONVEX
sation. Privies-and there are four
hundred of them in Berea-should be
screened from flies. The refuse should
be deposited in boxes and be ie-
moved once or twice each month.
In this way the soil around would not
be tainted and unhealthy. The city
inspector who recently made his sec
end tour of the town reports that
splendid work has been done every

VALLEY CITY HAS
A GREAT TEAM

Valley City Times Record; Although
the visitors made the first point by
making a basket on a foul throw, there
never was a moment when they had
a chance for victory in the game play
ed last night between the local high
school and Courtenay. The team from
the north were swept off their feet
and completely buried during the first
half of the contest at the close Of
which the score stood 81 to 6.
In the second half referees were
changed and things went much more
slowly through the inability of the
new man to get into action quickly.
His decisions were honest enough, but
the delay was painful at times. and
considerable argument arose. During
this period the visitors were unable
to increase their score while the locals
piled up ar addition seven points,
making the total %.
Especially in shooting baskets from
q distance and In team work were the
locals superior. Seldom were they
forced to pass without having some
one al the other side to receive the
ball, while Courtenay depended more
upon individual effort.
Valley City now has a high school
team that should be able to play n
team in the state to a s~tandstill. and
If they hold the pace they set last
night there is no reason why they
should not defeat the independents IN
the exhibition game scheduled for
Monday night at the armory.

coming in fresh shot a pretty bas-
ket almost the momen he entered the
game. This turned the tide OF vic
tory which had ben with Fargo col
lege up to that ome In a few
minutes Hackett shot another and then
German dropped another which cinch-
ed the game for the A. c.
Captain Wheeler started the game at
center for the A. C. but he is in poor
physical condition and was soon re-
placed by Darrow. The latter was
later replaced at center by Hackett.
As a last resort Coach Watkins
withdrew Harrington who had played
an excellent game for Fargo college,
in favor of Dan barrow, the promising
forward, in hope that he would now
use his shooting ability. The f. c..
team took a fresh squirt and Thayer
made a beautiful shot, leaving the
score 16 to Is, when time was called.
1t was at this time that the timekeep-
ers disagreed and Fargo college lost
its only chance of winning.
For the A. G. Hackett, Nolet, Boil
singer, Opdahl and German did good
work.
The Fargo college guards acquitted
themselves nobly. Forth excelIed in
open work while Boise used his head
as never before in smashing up the
aggies' plays. Harrington and Cap
tain Slingsby did some fine floor work,
Harrington connecting with some
pretty baskets. Thayer showed his
old time form in covering the floor
and getting the ball down the floor.
