GOT START IN BUSY CITY
Move for the Improvement Of Hortl.
culture Began In London over
. Century Age.

In PiccadillyI In the center Of Lon
don, the mother Of gardens came into
existence many years ago, according
to the Christian Science Monitor. It
was at Hatchard's. the well-known
bookseller and publisher, in 1904, that
John WedgwoOd gathered his friends
together and unfolded a plan to "fOs-
ter and encourage every branch Of
horticulture" and to collect every in
formation respecting the cultivation
and treatment of all plants and trees"
The founder Of the House Of Hatch
ard, John Hatchard. was In sympathy
with every project that made for the
good and enlightenment Of mankind.
It was suitable place for this society,
the mother Of many affiliated societies,
to begin It's worldwide operations. The
room where the first meeting took place
no longer exists, as the building has
been rebuilt since that time, but q
portrait of John Hatchard still hangs
In the comfortable lounge that forms
the shop. The picture shows the in
tellectual nature Of the man. The
windows facing Plccadilly and the
wooden seat that in summer time is
placed in front of them carries one
back to a time when the rush and noise
of the London streets was less than
at the present time. There is an air
Of leisure and other-worldness that Is
very pleasant to those passersby who
long to forget the hurrying feet and
noisy sounds Of crowded thorough
fares.
The society did not receive it's royal
charter till 1909, which set forth that
its aim was the Improvement Of hOrti-
culture, ornamental as well as useful.
Well has it carried out its resolutions.

A PLACE TO Tie.

I'VE noticed aflOat and a-tramping,
i I've seen 1t on river and land,
The thing that the most
You need is post
To tie to when night is at hand,
Some sort of an anchor to hold you,
Some hawser that never will fail,
Some place you can tie
Till the storm has gone by,
To help you to ride out the gale.
So many go foohshly drifting
While rapids are roaring below,
AflOat on the tide
Without compass or guide,
Till down to disaster they go:
The need of us all Is an anchor,
A painter to tie to the shore,
Some place to make fast
Till the tempest is past
And the waters are rolling no mOrt
So many afiOat on the river.
The turbulent river of life,
Have only their own
Poor resistance alone
To conquer the trouble and strife.
A fellow needs something to tie to,
His trail DER the sea or the sod,
Some friend that is true
Who will carry him through
A woman, pal, or a God.

great sieges occurring four centuries
B. G. against Syracuse, placed, as one
writer expresses 1t, for both war and
commerce in the very center Of the
ancient world. Two centuries later
the old mathematician Archimedes
held at bay for three years the fleets
and armies of Rome before finally
captivating and yielding Syracuse to
its enemies. Messina, another city old

THE TRAINED NURSE.

\ YURSING is going to be a greater
IN opportunity for the right woman
than ever before In the history Of
medicine.
There is going to be better regula-
ton Of working hours and an advance
in salary. For the demand is exceeding
the supply and inducements to take
up the profession must necessarily
grow more attractive.
II you want to be nurse It is your
duty to take the training, for you are
wanted, and your work waits for you.
In some of our states there are no
laws making the registration Of nurses
compulsory. Because of this, I'M
trained or partly trained women COM
pete with the trained nurse for private
work. Laws must be passed that will
alter these things for the better. The
He'd. Cross is hoping to demonstrate
the need Of the properly trained nurse
so strongly that every community will
be- led to demand proper registration
/ law and certain degree Of training
for its nurses.
In choosing your training school, b.
sure that you select a first-class hos
pItal. You win get Infinitely better
] treatment and your diploma win count
for far more.
Nursing is hard work, but for the
woman with a vocation it Is work that
she loves. A graduate nurse is val
liable member Of the community. HeI
standing Is secure. and she can be
sure Of a good income. In her pro
tessional life she is thrown with mel
and women Of high callber. II yot
have any leaning that way, II Il worth

the Nile near Cairo, where, according

The interests Of this traveller were
apparently confined largel:' to the
Orient or else he traversed the most
of his journey with his eyes shut, a
fault common to good many trav-
elers.
What are the five most interesting
examples of the handiwOrk of man to
be seen in a trip around the wOrld1
What are the five things most worth
Se6luR anu TCIucIuDCIluBt
What would interest one would not,
perhaps, interest another, and the list
which is given below may NOT appeal
to you even though 1t be an opinion
compiled from the experiences Of a
dozen or more world travellers who
discussed the interesting Question.
Here are the things which were In
general agreed upon as the five things
most worth seeing:
The Tai Mahal at Agra in East In
dia. This is undoubtedly the most
wonderful example of architecture in
the world. 1t was built by Shah Jehan
to his favorite sultana, Moomtaz-i-
Mahul, and the romance Of its build
ing, If you will take trouble to look 1t
up in the library, you will find ex-
traordinarily interesting.
The Vatican at Rome. No building
in, the world houses so many unre-
placeable treasures as the Vatican. Its
art riches, it's wealth of literary treas
ures exceed in interest and in value
any other single collection ever made.
The Mount Wilson observatory,
neaP Los Angeles, Cal. 1t is in this OBJ
servatory that is housed the 1OO-inch
Hooker telescope with pierces
further into the unknown of space
than any other instrument that hu-
man hands have devised. One mo-
ment's look through that magnificent
instrument would show you a new
universe which before 1t was built
had never been seen. 1t is one of the
scientific wonder spots of the world.
Shakespeare's home at Stratford. 1t
was here that the master of all writers
retired after he had finished the great
est contribution to literature ever
written in any language or by any
man. 1t is an inspiration to stand
where he had once stood, to see some
of the material things that were once
his companions.
The Panama canal. Undoubtedly
the greatest example of mans engi-
neering genius since the world began.

There may have been greater difficult
ties to surmOunt in the building of
the pyramids but they are useless
things, not so wonderful now as a
modern city skyscraper.
All five Of these things are the &C.
complishments of the brain Of man.
Added to them the traveller around the
world would wish to see those other
and greater things that man has never
eQualed: The falls at Niagara, the
Grand canyon, the mighty trees of
California, the great tides of Fundy,
the cavens at Luray, the mountain
Gus monuments of God in the Alps
and the Hlmnayas, the supreme
beauty of Lake Louise or the Bay Of
Naples.
To the traveller there is given the
great privilege of seeing with his own
eyes but even If you cannot travel,
the beauties and the wonders Of the
world are not denied you. You can
see them through the eyes of others
who have seen them and have written
down In graphic and truthful language
the wonders that they found.
If you are interested In any of the
five things of man enumerated above
you can find them all interestingly
written about in any good library, and
of the greater things in nature hun
dreds of books have been written on
each Of them.

To WAGE FIGHT
ON SCHEDULE.k
Wool Growers Opposed
to Re-enactment of
Old Tariff.

Salt Lake City, May 25.-The fight
of the National Wool Growers associa
tiOn against the e-enactment of the
old schedule X Of the Payne -Aldricl
traiff law made this spring before the
house ways and means committee will
be continued until the new permanent
tariff legislation is enacted, according
to statement by F. r. Marshall, sec
retary of the association.
Mr.. Marshall made the statement in
commenting upon the action of Senat-
ors, Gooding, of Idaho, and Stansfield
of Oregon, in appearing before the
house committee Tuesday to ask that
the permanent wool tariff be made on
the clean content of the wool, rather
than on the basis of the Payne-Aldrich
law.
Under the old law, Mr. Marshall said,
the duty was II cents pound on wool
in the grease, from which basis, allow
ing for 66 2-3 per cent shrinkage, a
duty of 33 cents a pound was imposed
on secured wool.
As a matter Of fact. the tariff COM
mission reported that the average
shrinnkage of South American and Au-
strian wool, the principal country from
which wool imports come, was but 48
per cent, while many south American
wools shrunk only 20 per cent.
