creased amazingly in seven years, or
from $12,OOO,OOO to $4,000, 900; the
value of products fron $5,000,O0O to
s25,O0O,000, and the value of school
property from less than 100000 to
more than $1,O00,00O.

Of those of any previous year that the

Briefly, the acreage under cultiva-

Stomach Trouble

For simple, common ailments, due to ~disordered stomach,
liver and bowels, you will find Thediords Black-Draught a
reliable and useful remedy.
For over 70 years, il has been successfully employed for
these troubles, and its consumption is increasing year by year,
proving the public recognition of its true and genuine value.
Being purely vegetable, it has no such bad secondary eff
fects, as the mineral drugs, like calomel (mercury), etc, but can
be depended on to relieve, by its first action on the system.
Black Draught is a good, safe, reliable, family medicine,
for young and old. A package should be in every household.

A veritable nowerland will be the
spacious White House grounds this
summer, the designs for the land
scape gardening completed today be:
ing the most elaborate ever prepared
for the Presidents home.
Rain made IL possible for the gar
deners to plant numerous exquisite
creations of the White House propa-
eating gardens, some OF them the re-
suit of months of experimenting.
While the favorite flower of the
First Lady of the Land is the orchid.
of which forty-two species are being
propagated by Government experts,
she is very fond of yellow pansies and
they will be profuse.
The gardening scheme calls for one
large panel bed in the front grounds,
filed with hyacinths. peonies and
white phlox, which will bloom until
fall. On either side are two oval beds
with yellow tulips and peonies.
Just in front of the Executive or
fees is a big oval bed OF tulips, hya-
cinths. ferns, and begonias. 1t is
-fringed with rare pansies OF a yellow
ish hue.
Around the fountain in front are
jonquils and latter there will be a
wealth OF German and japanese iris.
the former of a blush tint and the
latter variegated. On each side OF the
front fountain are clumps of shrub
berry. including towering ounces and
yellow forsythiss. while a beautiful
magnolia tree stands just north.
The rose garden Immediately south
west of the White House garden will
be more gorgeous this season than
ever, the designs being for a magnifi-
cent array of ever-blooming or tea
roses. pink roses. Killarney roses. ra-
diants, Richmond reds, yellow sun
bursts. and numerous others.
There will also be many of Mrs. VIII
sons favorite pansies.
Tree roses OF a rare kind will line
the walk from the Executive Offices
to the White House proper. while
other beautiful bushes will add radI-
ance to the path. Circling the rose
garden will be a privet hedge.
The east. or landscape. garden will be
inclosed by low hedge and will he
filled with 'innumerable flowers. pretty
plants. evergreens. box bushes and
hardy perennial plants and blooms OF
many varieties. This bed can be seen
through the glass in the east coIonnade
Pink ramblers. running roses. and
clematis will cover the iron fence divid-
ing the rose gardens from the lower
south grounds. In the lower south
grounds will be lilacs, hydrangeas

The fountain will be surrounded bv
hyacinths. iris. and other attractive
flowers.
