NEW ENGLAND'S FERNS.
Picked While in Prime for Use by City
Florist Following Winter Yield Profit

When YOU see beautiful fresh green
| fern leaves ON the luncheon table OF
some hotel on cold winter day, do
you ever wonder where they came
from Perhaps you suppose them TO
be greenhouse ferns ana so give them
no thought beyond casual glance of
admiration, says the New York Sun.
But if you are anything of botanist
you recognize at once that they are
friends OF our native evergreen fern,
commonly called by country folk the
Christmas fern.
Possibly you have been in some
little hillside village of New England
and know what an industry fern
gathering is for country jewellers who
have none too many ways OF earning
ready money. Whole families start out
in the morning with horse and wagon
or the useful Ford and drive up on the
mountains, where they alight and push
into the woods each armed with knife
and basket.
Experience has taught them where
the best ferns are TO be found and with
deft fingers they gather the glossy
green leaves until baskets are full.
These are then emptied into the wagon
an dthe hunt is continued until there
il load. The ferns are then taken to a
shed, where the pickers receive pay for
their work alta SO much a hundred. The
rate is not lsarge enough to tempt one
who expects to get rich quick, but is
more than the pickers could earn in
any other way in these remote ham.
lets.
The ferns are then sorted and packed
in bales or crates and shipped to whole
salers in large cities, where they are
put in cold storage and retailed TO the
florists through the winter. This ex
plains how it happens that you find
fresh fern fronds in the box of cut
flowers that comes to YOU in raging
January snow storm when you know
the woods are deep with snow.
1t is said that New York City alone
uses 100000 of these fronds every |
year so it is no wonder that botanists
and nature lovers are fearing that |
these varieties are in danger OF exter |
mination. Already in some places il |
is necessary to post" the woods where
the ferns grow. However one can't |

DARE URGES POLICE
TO UPHOLD RESPECT

Members of Force Hear Ad-
dress on Real Functions of
Police Officers.

The people in a community
form their impressions as to the
type OF a city they are residing in
from the actions OF the police de-
partment and its members. Len
J. Oare, local attorney, stated in an
address before the local police de-
partment Thursday night. His
talk was one Of the best of a series
of speeches given by prominent
men of the city. since the adoption
OF the weekly instruction nights by
Chief OF Police, Lawrence Lane.
The police officer is the symbol
OF the city's government" Mr..
Dare said. "In a municipality
where there is no respect for its
police, there can be no respect for
the city government. In a like
manner IN a city where the police
officers are highly respected by the
citizens. a high respect and stand
ard OF government is realized
In order that the police officer
may go about his duties and fulfill
them I'm the manner that he should,
that is 10 afford the best possible
city. he must first have the conf
dence OF the people. During the
years I have lived in South Bend.
have never known local citizens to
have had a higher respect and
more confidence I'm the officers Of
the police department than they
have at the present time"
IN mentioning various ways po-
lice officers gain the respect and
confidence OF the people. the speak
e. said that IN many cases where
good judgment and courtesy is
shown by officers Il usually wins
ont over gruffness and curtness
Mr. Dare mentioned an incident
happening TO himself recently
when an officer OF the department
courtesy requested him 10 turn on
the lights OF his car, a matter which
he said. he had forgotten 10 DO. He
pointed out 20 the policemen that
the courtesy shown him at that
time resulted in the forming or y
splendid impress ion and respect
for that officer.
There are times. OF course, when
courtesy may not be the most fitting
policy 10 adopt" Mr.. Dare stated.
Certain persons need 70 be ad-
dressed IN their own language. and
II they are Of the rough type. grufr-
ness Is then In order. However, I
think that courtesy on the part OF
policemen, viii so a long way IN
building up the morale and conf
dence desired.
In concluding his talk Mr. Oare
said. Officers OF this department
should realize that they are the
symbol OF the city government.
They should put forth every effort
10 keep the respect which local peo-
pie now have Tor the depsrtnleu t.
