PstunIas single and Double.

Because Of the ease and facility with
which all of the single-fowered
varieties of the petunia can be grown
from seed, this plant commands at
tention as a worthy candidate for the
summer flower garden. The young
plants grow rapidly and come into
bloom early, and In addition to this
they furnish a continuous wealth Of
blossoms until destroyed by frost. The
large-Aowered strains are very beauti
full and of great variety.
For the best results the seeds of all
sorts should Oe sown in gentle hot
bed, ,coldframe, or In fine soil In a
box placed in sunny window before
or by the time freezing weather is
over.-United States Department Of
Agriculture.

| 7 Helps Y
Much Can Be Raised on Patch Of
Ground Which Some Might
Thing Negligible.

Don't despise the little patch Of
ground for a vegetable garden. Even
little pocket handkerchief sized
patch will produce something worth
while. A stalwart tomato plant
trained to stake can be grown in a
foot square of ground, and training
single trunk to stake is the very
best and the ideal way Of growing
tomatoes.
1t is wasteful to allow them to
sprawl over the ground in the old
fashioned way where 1t is impossible
to gather the tomatoes without injur-
ing the vines, and when a portion of
the fruit is likely to rot from contact
with the earth.
Accommodate the vegetable that can
be planted closely to the size of the
garden. Even by patch would
grow lettuce, radishes and young
onions for a number of meals for a
small family. A 10. by 10 garden,
which Is usually within the reach of
anybody who has any garden room at
all, will give substantial return. It
wouldn't accommodate much in the
way of sweet corn, potatoes or melons,
but it would take care of tomatoes,
peppers, radlshes, young onions, car
rots, a few beets, string beans or
other vegetables that do not need too
much ROOM

That Coat Of whItewash.

Whitewash is of value both as a
disinfectant and also because Of Its
color. 1t acts as a preservative of
wooden structures, and If properly
prepared is a fire retardant "A dark
and gloomy cellar may be made bright
and clean by the use of whitewash.
Cellar steps, beams and other obstacles
should be covered with whitewash,
which will serve to call them to atten-
ton, thus avoiding accidents.
On small buildings about the lot
as we'll as trees and fence posts, white
wash can be used to advantage as a
means of Improving their appearance
and also to some extent reducing at
tacks from vermin.

To the People of the Fourth
Congressional District:

| thank my friends for their
loyalty and support in the last,
as well as in former campaigns.
i do not regret my defeat so
much on my on account as on
account of my good friends.
Their defeat is a source Of sor-
row to me but this sorrow is
mingled with pleasure for their
support was so pure and and so
unselfsh and so true. In every
campaign, we made a clean fight
and, therefore, have no unpleas-
ant memories of any wrong done
anyone.
! have no i'll will toward any
voter who cast his vote against
me. Every American citizen
has the right to vote his choice,
for any office without question.
| hope to forget the unpleasant
things that have happened in
the campaign and trust that
good may come even from the
evil that was done.
| served the people with all
my mind and soul and strength.
The man who labors with his
hands, who plows and cultiyates
the fields is the man whom !
have tried hardest to serve.
When his lot is made easier,
when the heavy hand of op-
preston is removed from his
back, the Government will be
strong and the people happy.
This truth is in my heart and |
will labor for that as long as /
live.
/ surrender my commission
without regret for it has no
stain on it. Whatever wrong |
have done has not been against
the people. / have been true to-
them and'to their best interest.
/ pray that the richest bless
ings of Heaven may rest upon
all the people of the Fourth
Congressional District for an
time.

Sincerely and gratefully,
Your friend.

Come and See For Yourself

Some people seem to worry
because they think my shop is

the person stopping me said, i
have heard that you have a shop
full of cats and dogs. it must be
a very filthy place" /" In reply |
asked him if he was ever in my
shop. He said, mo, | was never
there. but have heard it talked
about in other places and on the
street. .
invite everybody to come and
inspect my shop and | believe it
will be found to be one of the
cleanest in the town. | occupy
the whole floor and have one
large room for shop, one for a
living room, one for kitchen
and another large one where |
clean clothes. All the rooms
are clean and sanitary. have
no cats and only one small ter
rier, which | keep for watching
when / am in other parts of the
building.
Some people have an idea that
u should not sleep or fix my
meals here. Remember. some
times have several hundred dol
lars worth of other peoples
clothes in my shop at night. If
Ibid not sleep there at night
someone might break in and
steal some or all of these clothes.
Then. too, should fire break out
near by at night | could save
these clothes. You see then
why / stay in my shop nearly all
the time.
Again asking you to come and

GIVE CARE TO SHRUBBERY
Good Idea to Note How Dame Nature
Has Arranged Growth to the
Best Advantage.

In state Of nature, shrubs that
grow in masses or thickets stand close
together, interlningle their branches
from the time they spring up as seed
hngs and make their growth wholly
upward from an early age, since the
by their crowding neighbors. Thus,
all run to height save those on the
Outermost edge of such mass.
To arrange a planting that will at
once conform to this that Nature
produces, shrubs that grOW erect and
ITO the top" must be used for back
ground, with low-growing, spread
ing, and even dropping kinds planted
against them. Yet the mistake of a
mOnotonous, evenly graded bank of
green extending from the turf upward
everywhere is to be avoided, for this
is truly fearful In its artificiality.
The proper way to assemble a
shrubbery is to cluster the individual
shrubs loosely and irregularly, group
ing them by kinds, In the main, but
Invariably scattering the kinds to-
gether at the -edges of each group;
and further scattering one or two of
any dominant kind here and there
throughout the entire mass, Or, to
express it in formula: All varietal
clusters should give way on their
edges to the neighborine variety, so
that a friendly interningling shall
prevail, to considerable degree in
some places down to almost none at
all in others; for all the world as
daisies and buttercups intermingle in

eet Rid Of unsiohtIy Places.

Unsightly places can often be COW
cred with vines and hidden by flowers,
If unable to be removed. AT small
cost, grass and flower seeds can be
purchased and even the children can
help, and take great delight in plant
ing and caring for the flowers. A
few flowers will, oftentimes trans
form the most unsightly yard into a
perfect little paradise, which is cred
it TO the neighborhood and our city.
II each family will improve its own
yard and surroundings, the city will

The ladies Of the Lanier Clu

The ladies of the Lanier Club
and the business men of the City
have provided an excellent rest
room for the ladies coming in
from the country, whatever may
be the purpose of their coming
to town. 1t is noted that this
room is not used nearly SO much
as it might be. 1t is the desire
of the Lanier Club and of the
business men that the people
make the fullest use Of this
place provided for the accomoda-

room is free. When you come
to town make it your head
quarters; read. write and lunch

PLANTING the Lawn shrubbery.


It is an axiom Of good design that
4 AVN that is broad, sweeping and
picturesque shall be planted in a broad,
sweeping, picturesque manner. Straight
lines must never show anywhere,
either as boundaries at the fOunda-
tIons of buildings or as drives or
walks. The effect to be created is Of
broad, open glade in the midst OF
the forest-or at least in the midst Of
dense and secluding growth, II the Inn
preston Of actual forest background
IL impossible. On every side should
be vistas OF swlrllng masses Of shrub
berry suggestive Of the shores Of a bay
or any small body Of water-shrub-
berry that looks to have been pushed
back and piled against the heavier
background material to make a clear
maee where, the turf may grow.

SCHOOLS NOT TO
CLOSE FOE HARVEST

During the past two weeks there
has been considerable agitation for
closing school during the week pre-
ceding teachers institute, but the
Board Of Trustees after careful con-
sideration and study Of conditions,
decided that It would not be feasible
to dismiss the entire school when
probably only one out Of every five
students would assist IN the potato
harvest. It costs approximately ak
hundred dollars per day to run our
schools, which in addition to having
four-flfths Of the pupils turned loose
and doing nothing. would hardly JUS
I tify our closing school.
It was decided, however. to permit
all pupils who will assist In the po-
tato harvest and who will obtain a
job, to remain out of school during
the week Of October 9th to 18th for
that purpose. Special arrangement
will be made for those pupils to re-
ceive special help ON the work they
missed during the two weeks follow
ing teachers institute, as 1t must be
made up during those two weeks.
Sickness only being An excuse for the
extension Of time for making up this
work.
The pupils and patrons Of the
Blackfoot schools are asked to take
careful notice Of this action ON the
part Of the Board.
