changes insisted on by the promoters of the scheme as we'll as by the French government were the introduction of sanitary arrangements which hither- to had been non-existent, the provis- ion of ventilation in the rooms and the separation by an intervening courtyard of the cattlesheds' and the human habitations.
 It was with difficulty that the pea sants could be induced to accept some of these changes, but at length reason prevailed and the plans were finally drawn up. si
 The new village is to have wider streets and the main road through it is to be planted with trees, while the town hall and school are now to occu- py prominent and spacious positions in the center of the village instead of being hidden as before the war in narrow lanes without any air space.

 It's power to instantly relieve any irritation of the skin and make it soft, white and beautiful is almost miracu- IouS.

The recent announcement of the new Series IS Studebaker Cars not only prov ed of vital interest to buyers everywhere, but showed that Studebaker's policy to make each succeeding years car a bigger and better proposition than those preced=- ing has been carried out this year.
 Both the IS Series FOUR and SIX show conclusively that this standard is being maintained, and this year Stakeholder offers still greater value, more refine ments, more luxurious comfort than any preceding car. This also means that for '-alue and quality at the price, no other ear is it's equal.
 The Series IS Stakeholder has been re- fined and improved to stand up and give service in any part of the country, no :natter where you want to use it. It is an evolution developed from the broad experience of actual service, and this fact in itself is of real value to automo- bile users.

other car ever offered the public by any other company within hundreds of dol lars of Studebaker's price.
 The greater value offered by Stude- baker is made possible because ofStude- hakers greater factory facilities. more experienced manufacturing organization, greater buying power; because of Stude- bakers time established sales organiza- tion and distribution facilities built up on worldwide good will;
 Becau SC Stakeholder manufactures most of it's own parts and is, therefore, able to effect still greater saving for it's customers by eliminating the middle mans profits, and at the same time it is also able to give the public higher quail >ity; Because it can manufacture every vital part of the car with uniform excel fence.
 It is the sum of these advantages which makes Studebaker the largest pro- ducer of high grade, medium priced au- tOmobiles in the world.

Half Million is
Offered Bertschy
For His NeW.Find

An offer of S5O000o has come to A.
]. P. Bertschy for the formula of the
process he has recently discovered
of tempering steel at exceptionally
low cost. Mr.. Bertschy, at his Harvey
street plant. the Bertschy Engineering
company plant, has been for some
weeks demonstrating his discovery
for the edihcation and entertainment
of his friends.
He takes a common soft wire nail
and by the application Of his quick
and cheap process converts it into
the hardest steel, so that when flat
tened down to chisel blade, he cuts
iron, steel or stone with it with equal
facility.
Mr.. Bertschy holds that by his
process common rolled steel may be
quickly tempered at cost Of but !
cent per pound. The common rolled
steel is worth about cents pound,
while the hardened steel is worth
$3.50 a pound.

CITY OF OMAHA IS
A BUSY GARDENER
Nursing the Fragile Flowers
Through Four Seasons Is
Not an Easy Task.
HOW 1T IS ACCOMPLISHED
By A. R, GROH.

80 ~" S4NS1As
Where dc you think all those flower
beds that will soon appear in the
parks and squares and school grounds
come from?
They don't just "happen." They
don't just grow by themselves.
Oh, you knew that, did you? Well,
Of course, | suppose you did. But
did you ever stop to think how much
hard work is represented in those
beds?
All winter the plants are growing
in the city's green house IN Hanscom
park. They start from the seed in
shallow boxes, about LOGO seeds be-
ing planted in each shallow box.
When the plants are all inch or
two high they are taken oct and set
in tiny flower pots. Later they are
transferred to bigger pots, and still
later TO still bigger ones.
Just now Mr.. Hummels men arc
working on little job of transferring
$4,000 geraniums from three-inch to
iour-lnch rots. the final transfer be-
fore they are set out in the open.
City Fioriculturist (. P. Wolff es-
tinlatcS that they grow about 100000
plants and flowers in the city's green
house annually.
Populous Kingdom.
It certainly is a thickly populated
land OF flowers. all kinds OF EN-. from
the dainty narcissus to the grant
palms, that rear their heads high
against the glass roof Regiments of
carnations, army corps of geraniums
and innumerable companies of other
flowers.
Just at the present time 5000 hya-
cinths, narcissus, tulips and daffodils
are in full bloom with all colors of
the rainbow and many colors that the
rainbow never thought of.
Over in the other greenhouse, the
one with the little dome OH it, the
orchids live in the solemn seclusion
that BELTS their rarity. Such shapes
of petals and salyxes as you never
dreamed of are here. And such per-
feet blendings and splashings of color
as make one pause to reflect humbly
upon the crudeness of mans best work
when compared with that of nature.
About March twelve hotbeds will
be built outside to make room for
the thousands OF growing plants that
must populate the many flower beds
n the spring time.
That Spring Job.
Among the little jobs Brother Hum
meps department has to do in the
spring is to set out IA ,455 geraniums
and l,l95 border plants in beds be-
longing to the city. Mr.. Wolff has
it all figured out
Hanscom park has seven beds which
take $500 geraniums and 1900 border
plants. Jefferson square requires
ninety geraniums and $50 border
plants. AT the public library $50
plants will be placed in a flower bed.
At the emergency hospital bed will
be planted requiring 500 plants. Other
beauty srots are placed at the various
fire barns. And so it goes. There
will be also twenty-five beds of cannas
in various places requiring the placing
of $3.50 cannas.
Growing the plants for these beds
and placing them in the beds and
keeping them looking nice, all this is
just small part of Mr.. VOLTS job.
How would you like to be Mr.. Wolff?

Hungarians Planning
To Locate in the West

Lajos Steiner, connected with the
colonization department of the Union
Pacific, has about matured plans for
planting a number of large colonies
of Hungarians in western Nebraska
and eastern Colorado and Wyoming
during the coming summer.
Mr.. Steiner proposes to bring mar
ried men generally and place them
upon the cheap lands. They will
come largely from the steel mills and
industrial plants of Pennsylvania and,
as rule, he asserts that prior to
coming to the United States they
were farmers.

for violation ofthe state food laws. Such
an instance was brought to the attention

for the arrest of the culprit but to date

Another case was reported from Wes-

had smothered to death had been dress

and caused the arrest aud prosecution

A Change in the Manner Of Making Leases
Which Will Benefit the Owners
of Small Herds

Pierre, March 9-The State LanGs
board, consisting Of Governor Norbeck,
Land Commissioner Knight and Auditor
HandIin, have decided to change the
leasing methods Of the land department
for this year The offerings for lease
will be in section tracts first, and if not
accepted in this form to accept bids on
smaller subdivisions, before any lands
are leased in large contiguous tracts.
There has been considerable complaint
on the part Of the owners OF small herds
of cattle that by the state making leases
of large contiguous tracts, they have been
cut out of tire privilege OF securing pas.
ture rights upon the state lands, and the
change is to allow the making Of smaller
leases for the benefit ofthe small owner
as well as the large owner Of stock Out
side and beyond this regulation OF the
board, legislation was secured through
the efforts of the state land department.
