CHANGE IN PosY FAvoRITEs
Roses, chrysanthemums and carna-
 tions Are Given Preference Over Beautiful Camellias.


 Camellias are wonderfully beautiful flowers, but recently fashion has de handed roses, chrysanthemums and carnations to the exclusion of camel lias, and florists bow to fashion for purely financial reasons.
 Camellias are excellent plants for the cool greenhouse. Once they were the aristocrats of flowers in America, occupying the position that orchids do now. They are no less beautiful now than then and there is no reason why amateurs should not grow them. Blooming, as they do in the late au- tumn, winter and early spring, they supply bloom at a time when flowers are scarce.
 With a little care camellias can be grown in the window garden where the temperature is not too high and the atmosphere not too dry.
 Camellias need cool, moist place where the temperature does not go over 50 or 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and fresh air should be admitted as often as possible without lowering the tenn perature.

The editor of the Christian Science
Monitor has been looking over the
book of instructions issued for the use
OF organizers of the Nonpartisan
League and finds the following:
Never give an opening that will al
low the one YOU are organizing an OPP
portunlty to refuse to join. Get them
to agreeing with you by making state
ments that no one could disagree with.
Find out where they live, so to speak,
then get right down alongside of them
and show them from there. If he is
a Democrat. Republican, Socialist,
tRoman) Catholic. or Protestant, al
ways accept his viewpoint. You have
not time to educate them. your mission
IS to enroll them as members" The
idea appears to be: Get the victim s
money at any cost.
