The Old Gardener Says

That beautiful flower beds may

known as baby ramblers. These
form shapely. compact bushes
usually less than two feet high
and are exceedingly generous
with their dainty blooms all the
season through. Baby Dorothy
Perkins and the white baby ram
bier are two OF the best sorts
and a bed OF these roses will
make the possessor enyied of all

The Encyclopedia Habit.
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

"A man s library should grow with his
life. His books are like the flesh he puts
on; and some men are too fat, and others
too lean.
He should constantly add to his books,
and quite as steadily eliminate books.
Some books are to be borrowed, or
taken from library. for you only want
to see them once. Such are not really
books; they are bound periodicals. In
this class are almost all fictions, books
"of the day." books in vogue with the
mob, best sellers, and sensations.
Other books, and they are not many,
you want to keep. They become part of
your being. You mark them, go back
to them, they are as old companions.
OF these books your library should be
made.
And of these books the first and chief
is good encyclopedia.
The encyclopedia is the corner stone of
the library. 1t underies, supports, COM
pigments all other books.
An encyclopedia is not the product of
one mans genius; it is the finished ut
terance of the human race. it is the
verdict OF civilization, it is the oracle of
this present century.
To consult it is to consult mankind
The encyclopedia is the one book YOU
cannot afford not to own.
1t costs something; it cannot be
bought for the price of the latest thriller.
but when you buy it you do not buy a
cigarette to enjoy minute and throw
away, but jewel to wear your life long.
AS with other things, so with books,
the cheapest is often the dearest.
| unhesitatingy say that if l were a
young man, whether a clerk, a salesman,
farmer, a mechanic, or engaged in one
of the professions as lawyer, physician,
teacher, or preacher, would own good
Encyclopedia if had to go without lunch
every day and wear shiny coat.
1t is luxury for which one may well
do without some necessities.
1t is the minds wife, a comfort in
leisure hours, standby in a crisis, an
insurance of virtue.
For any mans intellect, | care not
whose, is crippled without this mute and
myriad friend at his elbow.
Get the encyclopedia habit.
In other words. be a superior man.
The superior man is the one who Is
not sloppy minded, as the crowd always
| is. He challenges facts. He does not
accept the ipse dixits of the loud and
positive. He looks things up.
He knows. He does not take things
for granted. That does not mean he is
pedant, crammed full of ready statistics,
Iparading his fancy bits Of information.
The sure-footed mind is not the one
| that knows things, it is the one that
knows where to find things.
The person with the encyclopedia habit
does not carry in his head all knowledge;
but he has the key to the storehouse, he
knows right where to go to get what he
needs.
And, other things being equal, success
is the reward of the man who is sure of
his facts.
There are other books it is well to
have. books that are entertaining. USE

no book you must have, that is equally
essential to the college president and the

TELLS OTHER BOYS
ABOUT GARDENS

Have you ever heard anybody
say that their ground was too poor
to raise beans? Their soil must
be very poor because beans will
grow in most any kind Of ground
if it Is not too shaded.
Any boy can raise a patch OF
beans in his backyard If he digs up
his soil, plants the beans and keeps
the weeds out
We have tried several kinds Of
beans but we think the Red Valen-
tine is the easiest to grow AS
soon as they are large enough to
gather they should be picked every
day. because If you don't they will
become tough and not fit to eat.
1t is not too late yet to start a
patch OF beans and If you have any
room in your backyard, why not
try it?

ANIMAL FRIENDS,
STORY IS TOLD BY
YOUNG WRITER

Billy and Toney lived next door
Ito each other. Both were great
friends and would let each other
drink milk out of their pans. Per
haps you think they are little boys,
but they are dog and cat. They
lived together long, long time,
but one day Billy, the dog, moved
away. 1t was a long time before
they saw each other again.
One day Billy's master came over
to see Toney's master. The two
animals played until Billy had to
go home. Now Billy was large
Scotch collie and lived five squares
from Toney's house. Toney was a
large Angora cat.
There was pond near where
Billy and 'Toney would often play
when Billy was next door neigh
Dor But they could never go down
there anymore, since they were
separated, ...
One day Toney went down to the
pond. He was playing and slipped
and fell in. Just as it happened
Billy was going to the pond, too.
He just came along in time to see
Toney's head go under He plung-
ed into the water and saved Toney.
He carried him home where he got
well. Just as it happened the house
that Billy moved out of was still
empty and Billy's master moved
back and Toney and Billy were
very good friends. They would 60
to the pond every day and play.

STUDENTS MAKE
THEIR OWN RULES
AT THIS SCHOOL

Teachers of Warner school have
little trouble In making the stu,
dents obey rules" said Miss Har-
riett A, Thompson, principal.
Miss Thompson explained that
the reason was because the child
rem make their own rules. The
Warner school has what ID known
as the Good Government League.
This league is made UP of two
Representatives from every grade
except the highest grade which has
three representatives. This body
meets and makes the rules for the
school and then of course since
they make them they see that they
are carried out.
The representatives are elected
in the various rooms by popular
vote and serve for a limited length
of time. During their terms In Of
flee. the pupils are permitted to
wear neat little buttons which bear
the letters G. G. L. These buttons
must be passed on to the successor
but when child graduates from
the building he or she has the
right to purchase a pin.
Miss Thompson acts as chairman
Of the meetings and conducts every
thing In accordance to Parlimen-
tary rules. A secretary is chosen
from among the students, however,
Miss Thompson always helps write
them up In this way the children
are taught how public meetings are
conducted at the same time that
they are taught the principles OF
self government.
The children are all very much
interested in the league, and the
teachers say that the good sound
Judgment that the children use is
remarkable.

Willie EXPOSED
DhDDY'S WISDOM
ON MANY THINGS

Pa thought he was pretty well in
formed on everything until little
Willie exposed his ignorance the
other day. Pa had been scolding
Willie because he did not know
where Salonika is. Willie was told
that boy ought to keep well post
ed on what is going on in the
world. He told father that he
could ask him many questions
about things in his own town about
which he knew nothing.
Willie fired this volley at
father:
Do you know how many kinds of
trees there are in the block in
which we live?
Why is a barber pole red, white
and blue?
Why do you sprinkle salt on ice?
If your house was on fire and
the fire department was out of COM

Do you know what The Silent

girls who cannot hear or speak are
attending the school where they
are learning to talk the sign Ian

bright as the goys and girls who
have good ears and vocal chords.
Many of them are exceptionally

many little sketches and exper-

Don't you believe these little
boys and girls who cannot hear
or speak, write interesting little
sketches. They are only begin
ners and yet with all their troubles
they are able to write as we'll, IL
not better, than many boys and
girls who can hear and speak.
If these little ones are anxious
to learn, why should you not take
more interest In your school work?
Perhaps visit to this school
would be interesting to you.
The Junior Palladium is little

Richmond. See IL you cannot
write little articles that will be as
interesting as those written by the
deaf boys and girls.

conveniently located on Main Street
