Procedure Of the Play


The rising curtain Of Tangled
Threads" introduced two chief char
acters, Miss Abigail Persons, "a wom-
an with ideas" and Mrs. Watson. "a
gentlewoman. mother Of Arthur"
Through their conversation is it learn
ed that a matchmaking plan is afoot
which is aimed to unite the son Ar
thur and Miss Lucille Persons, an at
tractive young college girl, niece OF
Miss Abigail. When two such de-
cisive feminine personalities as Miss
Abigail and Mrs. Watson agree on an
objective there is sure to be action.
Further incentives in addition to their
relish for romance are trip to Eu-
rope and a boat sailing on certain
date, making it necessary for the Cupid
climax to be reached within an allotted
time.
Complications in the plot are speed
lily introduced when the three young
ladies' who are guests Of Lucille plan
to trick the young gentleman by the
name Of Arthur, each passing herself
off as Lucille. The girls. who wea-
similar costumes of scarlet and white
prearrange a "lin O. talk" which shall
thoroughly bewilder the young man in
the case, who has not seen the girl
for seven years and should therefore
be easy to deceive. From the time
the plans are laid until the final de-
nouement the threads of circumstance
become continually more entang!ed.
The identity Of both hero and heroine
is puzzle. Tangle upon tanglo
snarls itself into the plot as each
girl, posing as Lucille, addresses her
self to a male person supposedly Ar
thur. But Arthur has his group OF
actors as we'll and more mistaken
identities result. 1t is necessary to
stage an elopement scane, ladder and
all, in order TO untangle the plot. This
is eventually accomplished just ne
fore the pail of the curtain on the
last act.

In this direction in the United States
may be classified into three distinct
periods.
/. The early clearing of the native

and the irreparable loss of the timber
supply, without consideration being
given to future needs.

this suicidal policy as manifested in

A comparison of the number of per-

p%ortance of artistic and tasteful dec
Grafton for the lawn and the outside
of a house. The careful execution OF
u well-planned scheme of exterior dec
Grafton is a matter of personal as well
as civic pride, and nothing enhances
to such an extent both the home and
the town as vines. shrubs and flow
ers carefully placed with IN eye to
general effect and suitability in keep
ing with the size and shape of the
lawn and the style of architecture of
the building. The beauty of a house
or group of buildings can be entirely
spoiled or greatly improved by the
vines and shrubbery around it.
Every householder is confronted
with his own particular decoration
problem. He must study the character
of his ground, the style of his house,
the paths and walks leading. to it, as
well as take into consideration the
kind of decorations his n~eighbors use

MOLESKINS VALUABLE
SOLD THROUGH POOLS
Boys and Girls Have Formed
Clubs for Trapping.
Taught Approved Methods by Extern
sion Workers and Representatives
of Biological Survey-Prizes
for Gophers.

Moleskins, which brought little or
nothing in the ordinary fur markets,
have been successfully pooled and sold
IN Washington and Oregon through
farm bureau organizations. Boys and
girls in many communities have formed
clubs for trapping moles. Through the
cooperative work of the extension
agents and representatives of the
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture, they have
beea taught approved methods of trap
ping and sSinning the moles.
Two hundred and twenty mole pelts
were sold in Benton county, Ore, for
boy and girl trappers. Linn county,
Ore, reports three communities which
offered 10 cents each for moles and
pocket gophers and an additional prize
for the three children killing the most
pests. One community reports SO moles
killed in this way.
Tillamook county, Ore, was divided
into four districts, and $50 purses were
allotted to each district for first,
second, and third prizes. The county
paid a 5-cent bounty on both moles
and pocket gophers. The moleskins
were stored in the county agents
office until a salable mou was col
lected. They were then sold to the
highest bidder. All money received for
the skins was returned to the trappers.

But the environment OF City Hall

Pruning Roses in Spring.

For the production of Individual
blossoms Of greatest perfection, as well
as to secure u succession of bloom,
severe pruning of eut-fiower roses must
be practicei. says the United States
Department of Agriculture. Where
a large number of blooms of small size
is the aim, the pruning is less severe.
In the spring, dormant roses which
have been set In the fall should be
cut back. leaving only 2 or 3 stems
with 4 or 5 eyes on each. This will
leave them 6 inches or less in length.
