FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES TO
MAKE HOMES MORE BEAUTIFUL.

four o'clock bush, all of which are
easy growers for the one who is at
tempting flowers for the first time.
The Back Yard.
Your back yard and porch can have
fts border of flowers and vines as we'll
as the front. You know the old say
ing: "You can tell a housekeeper by
her back yard" is often pretty true,
and as a woman spends a good part
of her day in the back of the house
there is no reason why it should not
be as pleasant as the front instead of
being a dump or hanging place for
old clothes, buckets, rags, etc. Hang
vines instead and when you look out
your kitchen windows, see flowers in
stead of tin-cans and decaying fences.
Build window boxes outside each win
dow and plant seed to grow pretty
little gardens in each wondow and
you will be so agreeably surprised
you'll wonder why you never thought
of it before and always do it here
| after.
If you have children they can help
plant the boxes and keep them wa
tered and each child could be given a
flower bed with the same seed and
see who has the best flowers. All
childrn enjoy things like this and it
teaches them true beauty besides. Let
the men-folk spade or pillow a row
around all the back yard buildings,
front and side fences, etc, and haul
a load or two of chicken or stable
manure and make nice soft little gar
den beds around them, then if you
are too practical to plant flowers
plant bean vines nearest the build
ings and fences and save space for
tomatoes, bush beans, etc, in each
bed and the result will surprise you
even to the butter bean vines you
train up the front porch for both
shade and beans. Cucumbers can be
trained the same way. Okra makes
pretty plant for flower as we'll as
the vegetable it yields, and lettuce is
most refreshing looking border, as
is also parsley and carrots.

What would earth be without flow

old unsightly rotting fences around

pOFches2
There are many unsightly objects
which can be converted into places of
pleasant adornment; maybe a dead
tree or an old stump in your front
yard now dead and an eyesore that a
few hours time and few pennies ex-
pense will convert to a thing of
beauty.
Surely in your front yard you can
make a bed two feet wide around
your front porch and plant verbenas
which are beautiful flowers and stand

If one desires a permanent vine

punches of roses. These also make
lovely fence runners. Even the com

beauty to the place. If you'll spend

In seven days after receipt, subjects

The five classes and subdivisions

No word has yet been received as
to when the next, contingent of the
selective draft will be called. In fact
II looks now as tho the call would not
come before December first, perhaps
because district boards thruout the
country have excused great many
men till that date on industrial
grounds.
The new work of sending out the
'questionaire to the nine million men
yet remaining to be examined will be
q tremendous task for the local board,
and can hardly be completed short of
sixty days or Feb. 1st. The president
calls upon all citizens to help in this
great work. He mentions specifically
the lawyers, who are asked to form a
committee in each county to assist.
The doctors must all help to make
. physical examination of each reg
tstrant, of which there are something
like 400 remaining in Gunnison coun-
ty to be examined. Police officers of
every kind and grade are to offer their
talents in searching for those who fail

MRS. EMMA EMORY
MURDERED At DELTA

Word was received in Gunnison this
week that the body of Mrs. Emma EN-
cry, formerly of Gunnison, had been
found buried in q lonely place about
eight miles northwest of Delta. 1t
seems As il the discovery was made
by q stockman who was riding by on
horseback when he noticed the new
made mound about the shape for q
human grave. He Immediately rode
to the Nelson-Meyers ranch about a
quarter of mile away and notified
them. Accompanied by Judge Welch,
who happened to be at the ranch, and
Guy Meyers, he went back to the place
and after digging for about three feet
they discovered the body Of woman
wrapped in white bed sheet. Word
was sent to Delta for the coroner and
a jury. They Immediately came out
accompanied by Sheriff Davis. The
body was taken to Delta but it was
in such a bad state or decomposition
that they had great difficulty in iden-
tifying her.
She was living with a man on the
outskirts of Delta until q few weeks
ago, when she disappeared. The re-
port was then that she had gone to
the Lake Fork to take care of her
mother, Mrs. Davis, who was very i'll.
Sheriff Davis has been making q
great effort to locate the man, with
whom she has been living but has been
unable to as yet. When he is found
it will be necessary for him to make
satisfactory explanations for he will
doubtless be charged with the murder
1t is thought she was either strang-
led or poisoned as there was no evi-
dence of violence on her body.

Y. CAMPAIGN IS
sMINGING TO SUCCESS
Teams to Canvass All Qu.rten Of
County; Orator. Give Vivid
Picture Of How Funds VIII Be
Used.

The Y. M. c. A. campaign to raise
$35, 900, 900 to expend in the work Of
recreation and camp homes for the
soldiers is in full swing in Gunnison.
The committee, headed by M. A.
Jencks is confident we shall reach the
$500 mark sent. The faculty and
students at the Normal School, are
raising $1,000 for similar work SO that
the citizens of all the rest of Gunni-
con county can hardly fail to meet
the $500 obligation, if we realize, in
any measure, the force of the plea
and the great need Of the money.
These were set forth at two meet
ings this week. The first was held
Sunday at the NJ. f. church. It was
a union meeting, Mr.. Jencks presid-
ing.
Prof. Ben Kori spoke at some length
outlining the relation of the church
and the Y. NJ. C. A. The historical
early church was not only place of
worship, but school and place of in
struction. The missionaries abroad
today are carrying the idea of the
school and the place of high class
amusement, a function of church work
which the Y. NJ. C. A. takes hold of
to supplement our home religious life.
Altho the church is the defender of
honor and the preserver of the FAM
lily, men have to be begged to 90 to
services. The church is not build
ing, but a living institution, and by
supporting this branch Of its activity
YOU are helping the boys who arc
fighting Americas battles. ..
Prof. Rutland spoke Of the effort Of
the "Y" organization TO make tie
tents and huts, as near like homes -
possible. The evils that lurk IN leis-
ure time for the young man, are multi
piled ten-fold by war. The European
soldier i paid from 1ets day up. Our
lbsystss a.1s5las = sy2and 4 nultis
plies their temptations. 81
We must teach them to make war,
not as the Germans do in faith, hope
and hate, but with love and self
sacrifice, as well.
Mr.. Jencks and Rev. White of the
Presbyterian church declared that
what the Red Cross is to the sick and
wounded, that the Y. M. C. A. must
be to the physical and social parts Of
US. Spiritual and moral welfare are
just as important as the more mater
ial needs of food, shelter and medi..
cine. The humanitarian demands of
the prison camps are not overlooked,
and the "Y" huts and dugouts are
pushed close to the firing line. These
boys are giving their time and their
lives, perhaps. 1t is up to those who
remain at home to give to the point
of severe self-sacrifice.
Several hundred were out Tuesday
night to hear DR.. Geo. Nuckolls who
