The residence in the south end of
town, opposite the Mcdonald home,
caught ON fire Saturday afternoon and
by the time the fire company had arriv-
ed, the flames had made such headway
that it was impossible to save it. The
boys put in their efforts preventing
the flames communicating to the Taylor
house, which was in the danger zone.
The house destroyed was recently sold
by Mrs. Bibby to Mat Richman, who
had been making interior Improvements
preparatory to moving. It is presumed
that the fire was caused by boys with
matches, several Of whom were playing
in it previous to the fire. The house
was of moderate value and was insured
for small sum.

Make Coyote Drive Sunday.

}. g. Davis reports that last Sunday
he accompanied about twenty men with
dogs from the Woodland section onto
the Pardee breaks of the Clearwater
river in search of coyotes. No data has
been received as to the number OF
coyotes being captured but from the
number of hunters and dogs it is safe
to say that several of the chicken
thieves received their everlasting
Progress.

FLOWERS TO GIVE CHEER
Some Ideas on the Home Lawn as lold by
Prof. Whitten-Hundreds OF
Varieties Here.

plant them caller. But they will grow
now and make beautiful summer bo-
ouets. Nasturtiums with their wide
variety of colors and their qualities OF
retaining freshness are perhaps the
most popular of cut flowers. Then, too,
the more blossoms you cut from the
plants, the more numerously will they
bloom again. This, however, is char
acteristic of all plants but not so
noticeable in others as in the nastur-
tiums.
Sow four o'clocks now. They are
beautiful for distant massing effect
but not for bouquets. Plant also pop
pies, petunies and zinnias. Then there
is the corn flower, known also as
centauria, bachelors button and rag
ged robin-what is more beautiful for
borders or even for bouquets?
"The moon vine is an excellent
porch decoration. 1t will bloom con-
tinuously until frost. 1t is always
freshest in the evening. 1t would be
well to cover the posts of your porch
also with some kind of tropical morn
ing glory, so that you would have fresh
blossoms in the morning as well as in
the evening. But by all means plant
only tropical morning glory as the
other kinds grow only as weeds.
Varieties Of the Iris.
Have you multiplied your iris yet?
If not, do it now while they are coming
into bloom. You can be sure of the
colors and variety you want. The
choicest groups are the following:
Japanese, which is almost as beauti-
full as the orchard: German, which has
a broader petal than any other vari-
ETY.; Spanish, distinguished by its del
icate flower; Italian, a unique quality;
Russian, the most beautiful and the
most popular.
"Lillies of the valley can be re-
planted at any time from midsummer
on until autumn. They should be
planted in a semi-shaded place and 1t
is best to mulch the soil with decay
ing leaves to keep the shoots from be-
ing baked by the heat of August.
Indeed, one of the most important
things in flower gardening in Missouri
is to mulch the soil so that it will re-
tain moisture for the growing plant"
Visitors to Columbia remark about
the beautiful homes and beautiful
lawns. They also have something to
say about Columbia hospitality. Flow
ers, smiling and nodding along the
walk and at the doorstep, extend an
outdoor greeting which gives warmth
to the welcome within. F. r.

no EXAM FOR CURTIS HILL
Kansas City Position Safe for the
Former Highway Engineer.

Curtis Hill, former state highway
engineer. who has been appointed city
engineer of Kansas City, Mo-, will not
be required to take a civil service ex-
animation to qualify for his new po-
sition. Under the law all city Off
cials, with few exceptions, holding ap-
pointive positions must take civil SER
vice examinations.
But Mayor Jost has asked the civil
service board to waive the examination
in the case of Mr.. Hill. He based the
legality of his request on a section
of the city charter which provides that
examination may be waived in posi-
tions which require peculiar scientific
or technical skill.
We believe We have found the right
man in Mr. HILL" said Mayor Jost,
land as competition in this case seems
impractical. / request that the exami-
nation be waived and Mr.. Hills ap-
pointment be made permanent"

Have YOU ever thought how much
the flowers that bloom by the home
doorstep reveal the lives of those who
dwell within? If the exterior of the
home has the touch Of growing life
the plant. the vine. the shrub-does
not the passerby instinctively con-
clude that those who live there would
make good friends? Soft trailing
vines, a few green shrubs or bright
nodding flowers, when arranged SO as
to add beauty to the home surround
ings, radiate cheer and hospitality.
when SO arranged as to add beauty
that's the point" says Prof. ]. c.
Whitten of the horticultural depart
ment. $50 often flowers and shrubs
are not planted SO as to contribute
special attractiveness to the home. In
stead of planting flowers against the
front porch or in the angles of the
house, where they can conceal the line
which marks off the house from the
lawn, SO often they are planted in
flower beds at different spots on the
lawn. This simply makes museum
specimens of the flowers and does not
add to the attractiveness of the place.
Faulty Arrangement
"A man who owns a $4,000 home
stead recently paid SO for a magnolia
tree, which he planted near the middle
of his front yard. All the neighbors
took their friends to see the tree. They
looked at it and remarked about its
beauty but no one noticed the large
well-built house or the new out build
ings and fences, which had cost the
owner hundreds of dollars. If the tree
had been planted in a corner of the
yard with background of shrubbery
or other growth SO as to connect it
with the general scenery of the place,
it would have been a contribution to
the beauty of the home and an adver-
tisemen for the owner.
I'VE might take a lesson from the
small back yards into summer living
rooms by the artistic use of flowers
and shrubbery. The French consider
flowers as important as vegetables for
the summer meal. We should culti-
vate that taste"
The large sloping lawns in Colum-
bia make flower gardening popular.
Hundreds of varieties. including the
old style as well as the modern flow
ers, are grown. Many lawns are al
ready abloom, for there are flowers
for every month of the year.
Beauty in Nasturtiums.
Now is a good time to plant mas
turtiums," says Professor Whitten. 1T
