NATIVE BULBS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.


You would not think one could find
enough native bulbs to stock a garden,
but every year l discover some new
ones and have high hope for future re-
searches.
The first thing that opens in my
wild garden is the iris. Our mountain
sides are covered with it in the spring.
and the flower stalks on the mountain
are seldom more than seven or eight
Inches high, but mine are much taller
and the purple flowers very much
larger.
Dog-tooth violet comes next, and Is
one of my prime favorites. l departed
from my usual rule and planted the
bulbs in large jar, which was sunk
In the earth and filed with a rich soil
Of creek loan, leaf mold and fertilizer
from the barn. The flowers are much
larger than those / found growing by
the brook two years ago. The leaves
are very handsome, rich, dark green,
mottled curiously with dark brown
and white. The flower is a clear lemon
yellow tinge, with recurved petals
about two inches long and dark brown
stamens.
Besides white and yellow water
lilies, l have two others that are ma
tlves. One, a delicate little white
beauty, that is called the fairy lily"
the other larger, blooming in early
spring and sending up a leafless flower
stalk. 1t is also white in color.
My wake-robins and lady slippers
$50 come on early, in coIors pink,
white, pale yellow and rich purple.
The violet wood sorrel Is quite as
pretty as its naughty greenhouse kinS-
folk, its flowers being OF a deep violet
color instead of reddish purple, and its
leaves dark green with a deep choco-
late zone.
| have sometimes succeeded in get
ting the ancmone to grow but one va
riety only likes me well enough TO
live through the winter. Buttercups
grow for me without any trouble, and
l have some queer little bulbs which
the colored folks call adam and Eve
They have no bloom but the dark
green leaves with maroon Innings are
very pretty. The bulbs are peariy
white and look as II they might be

Figure ! shows typical cross sec.
ton for gravei-ruad surface and in
dicates the customary steps involved
In the construction OF such a surface.
The limiting thlcknesses shown on this
cross section are by no means followed
universally, but are believed 10 repre-
sent the best current practice. The
minimum thickness shown Is supposed
To be employed where the traffic IS
hight and the subgrade is uniformly
stable, while the maximum thickness
Is adapted for opposite conditions.
Perhaps the most usual cumpactcd
thickness OF surface Is eight inches at
the center and six inches at the edges.
The difference In thickness between
the edges and center is effected by
making the crown OF the subgrade hat
ter than that of the surface.
The construction of gravel road
usually is divided into two entirely dis,
unct classes OF work The work of
grading and preparing the subgrade
falls into one class, and that Of haul
ing, spreading and Compacting the
gravel into the other. The FIRST class
of work has been discussed al consid-

Pierre.-Warren Allen, of Washing

looking into the matter of the highway
acts of the last session which are

of which South Dakota gets practical

discussing the road, situation, they said
they were merely out to look the situa-
ton over at present, and on inquiry
as TO what line of work would be re-
CURED under the government regula-
lions, they stated that the requirement
would not be for any continuous
stretch OF highway from the first APP

the FTeie Presse received a letter from
a German-Russian of Bessarabia, a

the address of his brother, whom he
had been separated from for years but
whose last residence was in Argen-

residents of foreign birth applied for
naturalization papers. They showed
various degrees of ability in the knowl-

who applied were able to qualify. One
candidate was asked who was the
president of the United States. With
some hesitation and prompting he
finally made the right guess. Answers
to other questions were stumbled

the question, "Who makes our laws? -

Recognizing the deep interest which
he has always displayed in all things
educational and particularly in the
Northern Normal and Industrial
school, the board of regents voted to
name the new s125, 900 dormitory to
be erected on the N. N. l. S. campus
Lincoln hall, in honor Of State Sena-

board met here to select the site and
retain services Of an architect to plan
the new building. George Fossum, a
local architect. was chosen, and he
will formulate plans as rapidly as pos
sible. Lincoln hall will be located Just
north of Ladies' hall, will be a modern
