Shortest Prison Sentence.

The shortest recorded sentence is
that to which a woman was sentenced
at the Cookstown (Ulster) sessions.
The woman pleaded guilty to stealing
a quantity of horse hair from her EN-
pIoyer, who said she was good work
err, but addicted to the drinking of
ether. which was the cause of her
lapse. He did not wish her to be pros
ecuted. A previous record of six
weeks Imprisonment for false pre-
fences in 1913 barred her from being
dealt with as first offender. She was
ordered imprisoned until the rising of
the court, and as hers was the last
case on the list, the length of her SEN
tence was exactly two minutes and
half.-London Mail.

PROPOSED NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Chandlers schools are the measure of her growth. Four years ago only three teachers were employed, now there are SIXTEEN.
 A new high school building is on the program for this year. Ten acres right in town have been secured at a cost of $16000. An election will be held in the near future to determine the issuance of bonds to the amount of s750O0 to be expended in the purchase of the grounds, the building and equipment. Knowing the progressive nature of Chandler's citizenship and their pride in the school system of the town, it is safe to predict that the bonds will carry with but few if any dissenting votes

COLOR SCHEMES IN GARDENS
Matter in Which America Might Profit
by the Example Set by English
Landscape Artists.

Little attention is paid to garden
color schemes. less in California than
elsewhere, for the reason that every
thing blooms so ri0tously here that
we deem attempts at control quite I'M
necessary, says the Los Angeles
Times. The English are the great
color artists of the garden and they
have garden books upon this subject
alone. Sometimes colors are used for
effects not necessarily allied to har-
mony, as when yellow is used on
points thrust forward to shorten the
apparent distance and blue is used to
deepen the recesses and make them
appear farther in the distance.
Many of the good-sized local gardens
have long borders where color schemes
could be wrought with ANIMALS or
'perennials, or with both. Remember
two points which may be called funda'
mentals White is the one great neu-
trailer or harmonizer in flowers and
gray performs a similar office in foil
age. Borders in which white flowers
and gray foliage heavily predominant
may have any and all colors in har-
mony so long as they do not mix, but
have between them a mere touch of
white Such a peace-maker is often
more necessary between shades closely
allied than in marked contrasts. Thus
with two shades of pink the lighter APP
pears washed and faded in close com
parison with a deeper and therefore
stronger hue. Even great masses of
white relieved by an occasional touch
of any color never appear monotcnous.

Boost the lodge that you attend,
Boost the street on which you're dwelling,
Boost the goods that you are selling,
Boost the people round about you;
They can get along without you,
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you're behind them.
Boost for every forward movement,
Boost for every new Improvement,
Boost the man for whom you labor,
Boost the stranger and the neighbor.
Cease to be a chronic knocker,
Cease to be progress blocker,
If you'd make your city better
Boost it to the final letter.
