Imagination

Imagination is not to be classed with dreams
and Authorizations. Imagination is one of the
most valuable qualities man can have. Imagi-
nation is the endowment that enables an invent
or to make new piece of machinery that will
astound the world. 1t is the gift that permits a
financer to make money where the ordinary
man would starve. Imagination is the quality
that made possible every advance in civilization
the world has seen.
An ordinary log is merely log to most of US.
In his minds eye, the artist sees a beautiful
statue in the log. Straightway, with hammer
and chisel, he cuts away blocks and chips, and
soon under the influence of his imagination, the
world stands in awe before a masterpiece Of
carving.
Again, the ordinary block of marble possess
es an attraction for the sculptor which impels his
imagination to hew out statue, so real to life
so exquisite in detail and execution that mankind
wonders how one of it's kind could possibly pos
sess such artistic skill.
Without imagination the world would stand
still There would be no creative work in any
line of endeavor. The mechanic would still
pound away at an anvil. There would be no
gigantic drop forces and presses. Imagination
links lever and cog, wheel and pulley into an in
tricate piece of machinery.

very fine. This was named for a
daughter who died. She has four chill
dren living and their names have also
been given to plants originated by
her. Strange though it may seem,
none of her children have ever shown
an interest in this work of their
mothers.
Mrs. Pleas has visited her nieces
here-Miss Mary Clark and Mrs.
Anna Unthank, who are members Of
the Woman's History club, and the
club on two occasions visited Mrs.
Pleas at her grounds near Spiceland,
when the peonies were in full bloom.
Each lady returned home with a
large boquet of varieties which had
never before been seen by many per-
sons here and a number of the ladies'
bought roots, paying 80 cents a plant
and S1.00 a plant.
At recent meeting of the club
they were informed by the Clarks
that the value of the plants bought
at that time is much greater now
and the demand for the Pleas varie-
ties is liable to bring florists here to
secure if possible the ones bought
then. They were also informed that
the price on the plants bought at that
time at s100 has advanced to $3.50
The great demand for the Pleas
peonies came after they were intro
duced into Europe.

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, June I'll
Mrs. Elwood Pleas, who is well known
In Indiana as propagation OF fine
varieties Of peonies and who recently
moved from Spiceland, Ind, to Cali
fornia, has written to her relatives
here that she has been given a life
honorary membership in the National
Peony association.
Mrs Pleas is 80 years old and she is
the sister-in-law of Thomas Clark Of
this place. She had lived on farm
near Spiceland for many years prior
to moving to California to live with
her daughter.
She is the only woman originator Of
peonies in the world, and is one Of six
persons in her class as an originator.
There are five men in the world that
are classed with her-one man in the
United States, two in France, one in
England and one In Holland.
How Plant Originated.
Mrs. Plea began propogating and
originating peonies late in life. She
had many named varieties in her
garden and one day she observed
young plant, which she later cult
waited and from this particular one
came all of her superior varieties.
Propag cation comes by division of
roots and originating by the planting
of seeds which bring results are the
ones from a single peony which has
been fortified with a double peony.
1t is very slow work as the plants do
not usually bloom until they are five
years old
Must Wait Five Years.
An originator must wait five years
after planting the seeds to learn the
result. The propogator who makes
this his business must, after he Sc
cures a valuable variety propagate
from this, a quantity large enough to
supply the demand Of the public after
the catalogs have been published.
Paid $500 for Plant.
Mrs. Pleas received $500 for one Of
the pleas" varieties and $3.50 for an
other which was originated by her.
Der Of varieties and named many of
self She has originated quite a num-
them for members of her family Her
most valuable one she named for her
husband, who is not living. 1t is the
"Elwood Pleas" 1t blooms the latest
of any peony known by her, and it is
beautiful shade of pink and is
double. The Nellie Pleas" is also

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PICTURE

TIE WSS' S1NS ~ ~. F'S ! S's@
Spellbound and with rapture
! gazed on a most beautiful sight.
My soul thrilled with pleasure
And my heart, how twas filled with
delight ......
I was watching the work of an artist
The painting OF a picture so rare;
A picture so wondrously beautiful:
With which | am sure none could com
pare.
It was a picture of Nature,
CARRIED in dress so gorgeously,
Trimmed with dewdrops, like millions
of jewels
On every blade Of grass, flower and
tree.
And the sky colors blended so per-
fectly,
The soft, warm, rosy hue;
! am sure no other artist
Could have shaded 1t in with the blue.
Breathless | watched and waited,
And then in the distance / heard
The sweetest, most joyous music
II came from the throat Of a bird.
The artist? Why surely you've guessed
that twas Him;
And think 1t strange though you may,
The beautiful picture He painted
Was only the dawn of another day,

Saving

Here's opinion of C. G. Miller on saving
Suppose that at 20 one should make vow to
put away at least cents day and not touch
his savings for ten years. From this invest
ment, so small that he would scarcely miss it, he
would have at 80 the sum of $3.50 to his credit
This is little?
Yes; this is the smallest thing he has gained.
He has learned to look upon his pennies as
fortune seeds, and that lesson is worth more
than his nickel day.
He has acquired the habit of saving, which
grows infinitely faster even than money at COM
pound interest.
The chances are that within year he has
made his savings dime day and within two

training universal will depend a great
deal upon what the result of the pres
ent war may be-" he said.
There is one thing, however which

KING APPROVES
CABINET PLANS
Reconstruction Of British
Ministry Authorized.
NO CHANGE In POLICIES

Premier Asquith Declares Action De-
cided on Will Insure More Vigorous
Prosecution Of the War Along Pres
ent Lines.
London, Dec. 5.-Premier Asquith
announced In the house of commons
that King George had approved a re-
construction of the government.
Mr.. Asquith stated that the recon
struction of the government involved
no departure in any shape or form of
the policy pursued since the beginning
OF the war.
He did not deny THAI the resigna-
lions of all the ministers were In his
hands.
The decision of Mr.. Asquith, on the
advice of the war secretary, David
Lloyd-George. which is supported by
other members of the ministry, to re.
construct the cabinet, Is believed to
have saved the coalition government
again and insured more vigorous
prosecution of the war.
There are some details yet to be
arranged, but newspapers which have
been the most severe critics of the
governments alleged dilatory atti.
tude express the conviction that the
premier will be able to announce be
fore many hours an agreement with
his colleagues on the vital question
concerning the war council.
