The farmers in the section surrounding Missoula
depend on this city market place for the products
OF their FARMS Here they sell their grain their cat
tie, their produce and all farm products.
What would these farmers do If Missoula concerns
did not take their products? Think Of the trouble
and expense would be to seek another and more dis
tant market.
Now Mr. Farmer, what do you give Mssoua in re-
turn? Do you buy from Mssoua concerns or do
you send your money to the distant mail order houses
who have no interest in you or your welfare? What
care they if your crops fail? Will they extend you
credit or advance you money?
1t has been truly said that the farmer and the mer-
chant are the real pillars Of society" But one de-
serves just as much consideration as the other.
Missoula merchants want the trade of neighborng
farmers They have the goods-rght prices and right
SERVICE and are always here to personally back up
the merchandise they sell.
We believe that our farmer neighbors want to see
Missoula grow and be loyal in this matter Of trading
at home if they see the light in the proper way
Mr.. Farmer-thnk it over.
Let's have little more of the Golden Rule spirit

perfect lawn is one of the rarest pos
sessions of either public or private es-
adjustments. A good lawn demands
great skill and judgment in its. max
ing as well as in its maintenance. The
difficulties of lawn-making become
more accentuated as the heavy clays
and clay loans of the North and West
are replaced by the light, sandy soils
of the South. The superb Kentucky
bluegrass, which produces such per-
feet lawns in regions with heavy soils
and abundant rainfall, must be sup
plemented by white clover as the soils
become light and sandy, and finally, as
southern latitudes are reached, both
these must hs replaced by Bermuda
grass or by st. Augustine grass.
In the South. however, lawns can
only be successfully made from turf or
from rOotstocks. The grasses which,
succeed in the North and are there
comparatively easily grown from seed
are not successful in the South.
Grasses which develop underground
stems are most successful under south
ern conditions. :, - tf

peculiarities of the site, and the style
of treatment, whether formal or nat
ural.
Small places, consisting of an acre
or less, situated among others of like
dimensions, can only be appropriately
improved in formal style. On the
other hand, large suburban places or
country seats should, in order to main
tain unity and harmony with their
surroundings, be treated In the natural
Sstyle. 1t is impossible to develop
forest, a park, or even a grove on an
area less than an acre in extent; and
1t is equally impossible TO maintain
fountains, terraces, sheared trees,
hedges and carpet bedding over an
area of several acres. Hence the two
general styles of landscape gardening
have been developed. One of these
may be adopted, or both may be COM
bined to suit the circumstances.
