TAKE YOUR PLACE

-hAhAS u ~ ~ II A<-ANA@
blanche T. Health
Somewhere the world has place for
you
That is all your own;
Somewhere is work that your HANDS
can do,
And yours alone.
Whether far over land and sea
Or close at your door may the duty be,
1t calls for your service full and free
Take your place.
Somewhere the world has bitter tears
Your smile might dry;
Somewhere the burden of doubts and
fears,
The hopeless sigh.
There are steps that falter, weary,
weak,
For the strong, brave arm they vainly
seek
Will you pass them by on the journey
bleak?
Take your place,
Somewhere the world has a desert
spot
Your toll might till;

Great clumps of 1t will be solid mass

This plant is SO aggressive in char
acter that it should have a place in
the background where it can be al
lowed to spread itself.
Dicentra is a most lovely flower,
and has the special merit of being an
early bloomer. The foliage of this
plant is almost as fine as its flowers,
and the two combined make it one of
the most desirable plants.

Spireas are not more extensively
grown. Certainly it is difficult to find
more exquisitively lovely flower
than Spirea with it's great plumelike
panicles and airy pink bloom.
The Peony need not be given spe-
cial commentator here, because

out this flower is not living up to
its privileges"
If the Iris can be given a some
what moist location, 1t should find
place in the amateur gardeners col
lection always. The German and jap
anese varieties are simply magnificent
in coloring and remarkably stately in
general effect when grown in large
groups.
Every collection ought to include at
least a dozen of the most distinct va
rieties of perennial phlox. This plant
is to the outdoor garden what the
geranium is to the window garden.
Anyone can grow it. 1t is a profuse
bloomer. 1t comes in a wide range
of colors. Group it in order to secure
best results, but keep the lilac and
magenta varieties away from the pink
and scarlet sorts unless you want a
color discord of the most aggressive
sort.
Then there are hardy pinks, the
perennial Pea, Coreopsis Lanceolata,
Pyrethrum, Dairy, Achillea, all good,

If immediate effect is desired, it will
be necessary to purchase plants, but

RUSSIANS IN FLIGHT AFTER LEM
BERG FALL PURSUED BY
TEUTONS.
FEAR DRIVE ON PARIS
LARGE QUANTITIES OF WAR MA
TERlAL AND THOUSANDS OF
PRISONERS CAPTURED.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, June 24-In an effort to
save the Russian main army from
complete disaster, Gar Nicholas left
Petrograd Wednesday for the front in
Galicia. Although no mention is made
of it in the official Russian war state
ment, the fall of Lemberg has Gre
ated intense anxiety in the Russian
capital 1t is believed that thousands
Of men and material have been cap
tured by the Austro- herman forces
and that the Slav army, partially sur
rounded and short of ammunition, will
have immense difficulty in extricating
itself from it's present position. AS
sequel to Lemberg's fall feeling al
most of despair prevails here, as it
is believed the tremendous German
army will now be removed from the
eastern front and the drive on Calais
and Paris renewed.
Desperate efforts are being made to
strengthen the French and British
lines to meet the expected new at
tack
The statement from Austrian head
quarters that Lemberg had fallen was
received in London without surprise.
1t was known that the Germanic allies
were within artillery range of the Cali
clan capital, and capitulation was re-
garded as a question only of days.
Petrograd does, however, claim q
victory on the river Dniester resulting
in heavy losses in prisoners and NUM-
lions to the Austro-GerIhans, and par
tial confirmation is given this claim
by the Austria official accounts of the
stand made in this neighborhood by
the Russians.
Whether the fall means that the
Russian army operating south of it
in southeast Galicia is effectively cut
off from the army to the north
stretching across Poland to the Baltic,
can not yet be said The newspapers
of both Vienna and Berlin say this is
the case and that the Russian arms
received blow from which they can
not recover.
One telegram from Vienna says EN-
peror William and Emperor Francis
Joseph purpose to meet soon in the
TcCdptuTeu 1dilCidH Capital loT lie-
ting ceremonies to mark the end of
Russia's dominance of Galicia."
The news of Lemberg's fall pro-
duced an outburst of wild joy through
out Austria and Germany, says a dis
patch from Amsterdam.
All Berlin is flag bedecked. Emperor
William of Germany and Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria Hungary ex.
changed long kilograms Of felicita-
ton.
The sultan of Turkey telegraphed at
length both to Berlin and Vienna The
school children of Germany and Aus
tria were given holiday.
Newspapers think that this Aus
trian victory signifies not only the end
of Russian domination in Galicia but
also the complete breakdown of the
Russian army.
"A report given out said that since
June 10 $4,000 Russian soldiers and
nine Russian guns have been cap
tured."
