one Of the thriving towns Of the

est part Of the South Plains and lies
just between the so-called cotton
section and the wheat section Of the
South Plains. A good general pro-
portion OF each Is grown in this vi
cinity with the result that the profits
from the farm are spread over a
larger part Of the year than in either
an exclusively cotton or wheat sec
ton. Approximately forty-five cars
Of wheat were marketed from this
point this summer and more than
5000 bales Of cotton have been gin
ned at the local gins already. In ad-
dition to these crops, there have been
steady shipments Of hogs, poultry,
cream and feeds such as maize, corn
and sudan grass seed through the en-
tire harvest season and the entire
year.
Idalou hogs have found steady
demand in California markets at a
price on a par with or above the Fcrt
Worth markets throughout the year
and shipments continue regular from
this market.
Fifty modest residences have been
completed In the town since the first
of last January and work will start
Immediately upon n modern church

plcted and a public tabernacle.
One brick store building has been
completed within this year and a

Tanning the Wild Flowers.

AT flower show held in New York
city, one naturally expects to see hot
house plants or at most such pampered
exotics as appear Ia cultivated gar
dens. At the recent annual show, how
ever, there was an exhibit that was
veritable wild garden, comprising ex-
clusively plants that are native to the
New England fields and woodlands.
The developer Of this garden, Edward
Gillett, has made hobby of bringing
the wildings into the dooryard, and
teaching them to make themselves at
home there. The result is highly graft
Tying, for not only do a large number
OF these plants lend themselves to
decorative and ornamental effects, but,
quite apart from this, there is an in
herent interest In the indigenous flora
that gives even q very modest plant
precedence In the affections Of many
OF us over the most gorgeous visitants
from far-off lands.
Now that Mr.. Gillett has shown the
way. there will be many an amateur
who will not be satisfied unless a con-
siderable corner of his garden Is given
over TO wild azaleas and laurel and
hepaticas and lady-slippers and tril-
liums and sundry other modest but
native fiowers.-Pittsburgh

MOVED PARISIANS TO FRENZY
Proposal to Slightly increase Prevail.
Ing Height Of Buildings Denounced
az Idea Of Vandal.

An outburst Of indignation greeted
the recent proposal Of NJ. Frantz-Jour-
dain, which, to relieve the housing
shortage In Paris, would authorize the
owners Of buildings on avenues having
q minimum Of 20 meters TO add an
other floor. This would mean that the
Paris population would at once and at
comparatively low cost obtain ffteen
thousand new places Of abode sare
estimate, with q reduction OF ~ per
cent In cost, since the existing roofs
and supporting construction could stu
be used, and the purchase Of building
lots, costs Of excavating foundations,
etc, demanded by the most unpreten-
tiOus of new houses, would be avoided,

The recent census showed US that an
Increase of 5000 would relieve the
present shortage. And the suggested
violation of the rule governing our pub

few exterior boulevards. Surely the
beauty Of Paris would not be Jeopar-

N. Frantz-Jourdain, however. barely
had time to finish his explanation.
Newspaper editors, suddenly inspired
with the most overwhelming esthetic
rage, denounced him as traitor. Ar

How Cooperation Chances.

Both the government and organized
labor Of Germany have changed their
attitude toward consumers co-opera-
ton, with the result that, since the
downfall of the kaiser, the member
ship of the leading co-operatives,
previously largely composed of profess
sional and business people, has become
overwhelmingly composed of working
people. The Production Society of
Hamburg, for instance, has among its
members 1889 metal workers, 2,492
bricklayers, 2,0S4 tailors, 4,64S trans
port workers. 1887 woodworkers, as
against 60 writer's, 377 musicians and
one artist. Government officials, previ-
ously forbidden to join co-operatives,
now avail themselves of the permits
sion to do so In increasing numbers.
