M Making the ard
Beautiful
BY w. F. FECHNER
Garden Director

Beds Of the lower-growing ANIMALS
should be made along the walks,
around foundations OF houses, in
corners ana in some cases around
the QUEER edge OF The front yard
lawn; never make formal beds in
the center OF a greensWald or small
yard, as tins has tendency 70 show
overcrowding and makes your yard
appear smaller than 1t is, while an
open yard, nicely surrounded, ap-
peas larger than it IS.
w here many flowers are wanted
for cutting, II is we'll to set aside a
part of the regular back yard gar
den, supplying rich soil ana giving
same cultivation as the vegetable
garden.
Where large, fast-growing vine
is wanted, plant the Moonhower,
japanese or Brazilian morning
glories; and where a delicate, med
Ium climber is desired, plant cy-
press vines, which has red, white
and rose-colored, star-shaped flow
eIs. Then there is the Cardinal
climber, with its bright array of red,
star-shaped flowers; offset by a
dense mass Of medium, fne-cut,
dark-green foliage.
A bed OF pansies along the walk
or on the outerside of the house
foundation flower bed always is eff
fective and can be made more so
by giving it a background of pop
pies, which can be followed by as
ters, zinnias, petunias where these
plants have been grown in a reserve
bed, and are moved into the poppy
bed as soon as these drop their
petals.
For border or clump of yellow
and orange-colored profusion, there
is nothing as satisfactory as calen-
dulas, and if kept cut, they will
flower profusely all season.
For a white border, edging and
also massing, sweet mignonette and
sweet alyssum, and for blue, ager-
atum should be used. These are al
so excellent for cutting for boquets.
Other well-known flowers that can
be made to do excellent decorative
service are larkspur, coxcumb, corn
flower, phloX, tall and dwarf mari
colds, dwarf zinnias, etc. Those who
are not familiar with these need but
ask some neighbor women, most of
whom remember the lovely beds of
these plants from the old home place.

UPON THE THRESHOLD

Once more we stand with half-reluc-
tant feet
Upon the threshold of another year;
That line where Past and Present
seem to meet
In stronger contrast than they do
elsewhere.
Look back a moment. Does the pros
p ct please,
Or does the weary heart but sigh
regret?
Can Recollection smile, or, i'll at ease
With what is past, wish only to for
get?
Say, canst chou smile when Memory's
lingering gaze
Once more recalls the dying year to
sight?
Wsuldst thou live Ger again those
changing days,
Or bid them fade forever into
pisAt?
A solemn question, and the faltering
heart
Scarce dare say "Yes", yet will not
quite say "No";
For joy and sadness both have played
their part
In making up the tale of 'long ago."
Here Memory sees the golden sun
light gleam
Across the path of life and shine
awhile; Q
And now the picture changes like a
dream,
And sorrow dims the eyes and kills
the smile.

So-it has gone-where all has gone
before;
The moaning wind has sung the
dead years dirge,
Times waves roll on against the
crumbling shore,
And sinks the worn-out bark be-
meath the surge.
Here ends the checkered page of
prose and verse,
Of shapely words and lines writ all
awry,
There they must stand for better or
for worse;
So shut the book and bid the year
good-by!

mand to the Public Service Commits
sion that the Commission ruling

made retroactive.

THE UNION CLUB IS
NOW IN FINE SHAPE

The Union Club, established by
the Timberworkers' Union, located
in the building formerly occupied
by the Grand and later by the Rial
to Theatre, is in flourishing con-
dition. The club includes in its
equipment pool and card tables, a
fine selection of union made cigars,
|tobaccos, candies and soft drinks, a
fine lunch counter with jolly good
cook in charge; barber shop with
good BARRIERS, and other cOnven-
fences and attractions. This is an
ideal place to while away an idle
hour.
The Union Club is open to the
public and especially to members
of organized labor and their friends
Billy Hufford, the well-known eX-
Secretary of the old shingleweivers
union, and later, the shingleweavers
branch of the Timberworkers (No.
y, is the manager of the Club,
which gives assurance that its pat
rons will receive a cordial recep-
tion and good service.
The Club is centrally located, one
half block west of the corner of
Hewitt and Colby. Drop in and
have a talk with Billy about it.

tion Of Bro. Watson's children. If

Delegate Anderson found in Con-
crete very unsatisfactory conditions
existing. The Superior Portland

union) were threatening to strike
because of insufficient pay and un-
satisfactory conditions. The other
cement company had been driven
out of business by the Superior and
its plant was being dismantled by
scab labor. Bro. Anderson asked
that the Council request the State
Federation of Labor to take hold
of this matter. Granted.

were allowed to patronize
the Ais Club room on the corner
of Hewitt and Oakes, Commissioner
Turner be notified

cussed at some length. The Butch
ers, it was said, we're admitting
them to membership in their union.
The Council passed a motion to
neither receive from nor send
communications to Washington's
and representatives in Con-
gress.
Adjourned.
