Perrydale.

The Perrydale district school has
been handicapped in entering the fair
contests by not having a teacher in
charge of the collection and placing
of its exhibit. Guy Lee, who is in
charge of the booth, is capably hand
ling what has been assembled. how
ever. In the booth are many tributes
to the juvenile skill of the district,
sewing and vegetables being the chief
parts of the exhibit. Besides a few
bird houses the only manual training
product is a combination desk and
bookcase and a hall rack, built by
Percy Zumwalt. A crotcheted collar
made by Doris Mckay is one of the
finest pieces of needlecraft in the en-
tire industrial department of the fair,
and a night gown made by Bessie
Morrison does not fall far short of
that. 0tella Friar has done some very
good work on guest towels and ladies
house caps. Mae Gillian received
blue ribbon on a child's apron which
is hung in the Perrydale booth. 9th
ers who exhibited in the household
arts displays are Tavern Bracher. Vel
ma White and Hazel and Winnie
Rowland. Levi Mickey and Cecil Har
rison have entered the majority of
the vegetables from this school and
have some very good specimens of
MANY varieties. Fruit and vegetables
canned by Leone and Wanda Elliott
and Bessie Morrison has received
first, third and fourth prizes.

The Parker School.

The Parker schooi exhibit is a cred
liable one, although the number of Ell
tries is small as compared to some
of the other one-ro0m schools. Miss
Dora Bortner, teacher at Parker, has
done well in the training she has Civ
EN- her little charges in the many
youthful industries in which she has
interested them. This training has
been along the same general lines
followed in the majority of the schools
of the county, but the results, though
not better than the rest, are as good,
and compare very favorably with
those of districts that have many
more advantages for the work than
has the Parker neighbofhood. A col
lection of baking by Bertha and EN-
ma Zielesch and Winnie Peterson is
an important item in the Parker
booth. 1t contains a variety of those
products of the well managed oven
that make one anxious to linger. if
to no better end than to observe the
accomplishments of such young chill
dren, in undertaking the tasks Of
their elders. Canned fruits, vege-
tables and jellies are entered for the
Parker school by Helen King and 9TH
sr girls have produced fancy work,
aprons, dresses, drawings, paper
Teaving and what-not. Winnie Peter
ION and Bertha Zielesch have demon
itrated their ability at seed selection.

the usual showing Of vegetables, bak-

from the manual training department.
Paul Sayer, seventh grade pupil, has

so of the seventh grade, has entered

for the Falls City teachers last year,
Wallace Godfrey has contributed a
library table to the exhibit, and piano
benches are showed by Verl Courier
of the eighth grade, and Miss Eugenia
Phillips, who was teacher at Falls
City last year. Lucille Tichnor con-
structed taborett that is on exhibi-
tion and another girl, Clara Weiser,
has received the blue ribbon on po-
tatoes grown by her Paul Sayer is
chiefly responsible for the vegetables
on display and their quality shows the
success he has made as a farmer.
Three machine and handmade dresses
are exhibited by high school girls,
LORNA Treat, Nettie Murray and
Clara Sampson, who have received
first, second and third ribbons, re-
spectively, for their work Original
designs embroidered in pillows make
a valuable addition to the interest of
the booth and large collection of
fine fancy work, such as doilies, tow
els, gowns and aprone are hung on
the walls of the display room. Lucille
Tichnor has done very creditable work
in the baking display in which she

mothers and daughters Of half CEN

SELF-S0WlNG ANIMALS

Plant self.sowing ANIMALS among
your bulbs and avoid the trouble OF
bedding plants. There are many good
ones for the purpose, which once
planted. will come up evermore.
For blue. there are Ageratum. blue
perfection, cornhowers and Nigella,
Miss lockell; for yelldw. calliopsis and
California Eoppy, for white snow on
the mountain CEuphorbiaD, charming
with cut flowers. Where mixed colors
will not interfere with some scheme,
there are annual larkspur and shirley
poppies.
The stakes for the garden-for those
plants which will not stand erect alone
should be invisible.
Stakes, even green ones, are always
conspicuous and the strings which tie
the plants TO them almost always
change the natural position OF the
stalks and spoil the grace of the plant.
The difficulty may be overcome In
large measure by the use OF brush In.
stead OF stakes. Select pieces with
plenty OF side branches and break
these back II they are too long The
brush is soon hidden by the leaves
and supports the plants In a natural
position. There 10 also no danger OF
