MRS. PATERSON
J.. Was BIRD LOVER
MOTHER OF FARGO MAN WAS
GIVEN TITLE OF ARCHITECT
TO THE BIRDS, IN THE WoM-
ANS HOME COMPANION. .

In the October issue of The Wom-
ans Home Companion, is the following
concerning the late mother of Robert
G. Paterson Of The Forum staff:
Mrs. Virginia Sharpe-Paterson,
architect to the birds-the boy who
has learned to find pleasure in watch
ing birds and helping them is the least
likely to develop into a nest robber
or bird killer. So Mrs. Virginia
Sharpe-Paterson of Kokomo. Ind, has
effectively furthered her work as
chairman of the department Of birds
in the Indiana State Federation of
Women's clubs by distributing bird
house plans among hundreds of
light in building the little bird cot
tages n villas, and when they have
once set up the small houses on posts
and trees would never think Of harm
ing any of their prospective feathered
tenants. Bird house architecture is an
art to appeal to every boy who can
use hammer and, saw especially when
the interest is heightened by the offer
of prizes for the most attractive
houses and those BEST adapted to their
purpose. Second only to her love of
birds is Mrs. Sharpe-Paterson's love
of trees and forests. She is a leader
in h Forestry Day propaganda in
Indiana and is, besides this, an active
member Of the American Forestry as
ISOLATION"
The mention of Mrs. Paterson is
made by ARTHUR Guiterman who on
ducts the About People page Of that
magazine. 1t is evident that the item
was prepared for the magazine sever
al months ago as Mrs. Paterson has
since passed away. A picture Of Mrs.
Paterson is also published.

there is more blowing being done in
the state this fall than any other year.
Today more fields have been turned

five or six weeks Of plow weather,

all farmers to get their work done this

to Issue Bulletin on Ma

With the widespread good roads

an increase in the sale OF motor trucks

Good roads have boosted the sale OF
commercial delivery vehicles, and on
the other hand the popularity of the
motor truck has boosted good roads.
Increase in the number and weight
OF the automobiles and heavy auto
trucks has prompted the bureau of pub
lis roads of the department OF agri-
culture to issue special pamphlet OF
instructions on the maintenance of
highways. 1t recommends the construc-
ton OF heavier and more substantial
foundations in road building as means
of keeping down the cost of such MAIN
tenance.
There probably is no subject in which

the Bucks were up to their usual high
standards on the trip and led the tour

able service in pointing out the right

Very few men are as familiar with
the road from San Francisco to Carson

Automobile company. Gross has driven
cars over all the roads in this section
of the country many times on tours
and trips of divers natures and is
considered one of the best informed

or fame.
The roads most of the way were in

was experienced getting through all
right. stop was made at Shasta
springs. The roads in this vicinity
were found to be In excellent condition
and with no bad places at all. Between
Dunsmuir and Gazelle the road was
fairly good, but tribe rough in spots.
Continuing north the tourists crossed
the Siskiyou pass into Oregon, where
the going was good, and the scenery
OF the usual beautiful mountain va
riety. Mount Shasta was visible most
OF the way and proved an inspiring
sight. From there on to Crater ma

The tourists had no trouble, however.

Southern Oregon has many beautiful
lakes. but none more attractive than
Crater lake in the Crater national park.

fabulous amounts spent for machines
and their operation. He has feared to
run the risk OF mourning heavy ex-
penses of upkeep, although he well
knew the unlimited amount of pleasure
he would derive from owning a car.
His anxiety lest the car eat up in a
month almost as much as he could earn
in two has been a. great drawback to
a greater and more universal use of
The automobile. In previous years his

Nearly every automobile manufac-

ducing moderate priced machine that
would combine the salient features of
economy, comfort. durability, reliability
and safety possessed by high priced
cars and at the same time present an
