EASY TO CARE FOR PALMS

Seeding date palms get their char acter leaves the second year. The rlant develops slowly. but is easily cared for. and in time makes a fine plant
 three-year-old date palm was through an oversight, left out for a week during the most severe weather last winter and when discovered the soil in the pot was frozen solid But the plant made no complaint and went right on growing when taken indoors and thawed out.
 Do not let your palms stand in the hot sunshine, with the sides of the pot exposed to the suns rays. The soil will be apt to bake and injure the roots. Give it a good light. but it does not need sunshine.
 The pot containing the palm should be set inside of one several sizes larger. or in 8 jardiniere. and the space between the two vessels should be packed with moss or similar ma. terial. and this may be kept wet l though water should not stand about the roots of the plants. Some of the moss should be laid on the surface of the soil about the stem of the palm.
 l One of the fastest growers and most I satisfactory palms is the Kentia Fers teriana. It has fine. large, curved leaves of rich. dark green. and is very cheerful about conditions
 Many palms may be raised from seed if one has more time than money but the florists send out handsom, yearling plants for few cents, ant they generally do well.

DEAR GOVERNOR:
We the undersigned constituting
the board OF county commissioners of
Carter county, Oklahoma, express our
appreciation for the unselfish and in
telligent work done by Sidney Suggs
OF Ardmore in the interest of good
roads in this state. We who are his
neighbors and who know him best.
endorse him for his honor for his en-
thusiasm for his power to enthuse
others, and for his ability to lead. BY
agitation and under circum-
stances that would have discouraged
a less courageous man he has revolu
tionized ideas with reference to road
That revolution has been to-
ward permanency OF construction, to-
ward economy, toward a business ac-
system, toward using home
labor and material closest at hand,
and has resulted in a healthful change
Of methods.
I'VE unanimously endorse him for
re-appointment We believe a change
in methods and change from his line
OF educational advice would retard
the interest in good roads in this
state for a series Of years. We believe
that our fellow townsman as member
of your official family will reflect
credit upon you and your administra-
