soil in which Holly is planted moist
but not wet and soggy. Give him a
nice summing every once and a while,
and if there is a gentle spring rain,
put little Holly boy out doors and let
the rain wash his face.
So Patty and Polly are our two little
spring boys who belong now in the
same "All-the- Year Round Garden"
family with little Marie Gold, our
French orphan.
To the mother: These are two very
satisfactory little plants for small boys
and girls to work with Hepatica is
interesting because the children can
watch the plant open up as the spring
days advance. just as it would open
in the woods; and while holly fern is
not as interesting as hepatica, still it
IS fern one can use at home or plant
IN the window box at school, and feel
sure it is going to last for a while.

Caldwell Lecture Course.

In selecting the course for next
year the Caldwell Lecture Course have
taken the stand that Caldwell is en-,
titled to the best there is on the
market. With that in view we have
selected the best course that has ever
appeared in Caldwell, and probably
the equal of any that has ever been
shown in Idaho.
We have chosen four heavy mum
bers and three lighter numbers. By
this we do not mean three cheap
numbers but numbers of smaller per
sonel and as consequence costing us
less money.
Probably the head liner for this year
and the most expensive number we
have ever bought is the Bertha Farmer
Company. Miss Farmer has been in
grand opera for a number of years
Having been soloist with the Los
Angeles Symphony Orchestra, Mar
cini Opera Company of New York, the
English Grand Opera Company. the
San Carlos Grand Opera Company
and q. number of others. Abroad she
has Sung in Mines, Paris, London
Brussels, and other points. Miss Far
ner is real American. She was in
France in 1914 at the outbreak of the
war and enlisted in hospital work and
worked until ordered home by the doc
tors as she was on the verge az a
breakdown from overwork. She is
accompanied by Martha Alexander

Lamb and Mutton.

The difference of few cents in the
cost Of pound of meat frequently
determines whether that meat appears
on the table in many households. Yet
that difference of few cents lust as
frequently IS caused by the limited
knowledge Of the housewife of the
meat which she desires.
Take the cost of mutton and lamb
It IS regarded as high. But the aver.
age housewife who so regards il
speaks only in terms of chops and
headquarters. The fore-quarter Of
mutton is just as dainty, just as full OF
flavor, just as eatable in every way
II 1t is properly prepared. 1t also is
many cents cheaper per pound.
Your butcher. if he is up-to-date
knows how to bone and roll a shoulder
OF lamb or mutton so that it NAV be
cut into Saratoga chops or made into
a roast of unusual sweetness.
Breeders of sheep have paid more
attention to raising a better favored
meat in the last few years, and their
efforts show clearly in the resulting
product.
Some objectors to lamb and mutton
say that they cannot eat it because of

This spring two new children are
born into our All-The- Y Year-Round-
Garden Family. One little boy be-
longs in the country, and the othe-
| little boy belongs in the city. II you
| look at the names of these two chill
dren you will know right straight off
that Patty is the country boy and
Holly, with his fancy name, must be
city lad.
If you are a country boy or girl, go
out some fine spring day to sunny
little hillside, or slope in the woods,
and there you will find little patty.
Patty's whole name is hepatica.
When you are poking among the
dead leves, what you must look for
is little plant with large. old tough
leaves, reddish in color Push these
aside and down underneath are some
tender, new little green leaves and
Patty's head bent over. protected by
those big, tough, last years leaves.
Take up one or two hepatica plants
carefully, also some of the good soil,
and when you get home plant them in
with the wood soIl.about them Put
the bowl In a sunny window, with per-
haps a piece of glass over the top,
and as the days go on you viii see
little Patty's head prick up, you will
see the new leaves start, you viii see
one of the love1iest blossoms a little
plant ever had, and 10 and behold
there is Patty. your country boy!
Now, if you are a city child It would
not be at all easy for you to add
Patty to your garden. would liz So
some night ask Father for ten cents
and with your ten cents shut mp
tightly in your hand. go TO flower
shop and and ask for holly Holly is
a fern with bright leaves that look
like Christmas holly leaves. 1t is the
best little fern for indoors. and will
last better than almost any other fern.
Be sure you keep Holly very clean
and nice. You must wash his face.

the "woolly taste" and that they know
of no way to remove it. That is mere.
ly case of pulling the wool over your
own eyes. If the fell, or tough outer
membrane that covers the meat, is re.
moved, there will be no "wooly taste.
You are taking no chances when
you order lamb. The healthfulness
and strength-building qualities of this
meat have long been recognized by
physicians, who have prescribed its
extensive use in the liet of convals-
cents.
These facts are worthy of your
studied consideration. They have long
