will not be given out until due no
through the columns of this paper.
None Next Year.
This will perhaps be the last OPP
portunity that will be given the
public TO obtain free garden seeds
as congress has failed to appropri-
ate funds to carry on the work next
year. In explanation OF this Con-
gresham Smith says:
For "a years congress has been
following a policy OF making an an
nual appropriation for the purchase
OF garden and flower seed for dis
tribution through the senators and
representatives to their constituents.
During the first administration OF
President Cleveland the then secre-
tary OF agriculture, Hon. j. Sterling
Morton of Nebraska, recommended
that this custom be abandoned, and
ever since then there has been a
contest in congress between those in
favor of distributing seeds and those
opposed TO the plan.
when the agricultural appropri-
alton bill was under consideration
this session the opponents of the pol
icy succeeded in defeating the APP
preparation and there will be no
seeds available for distribution next
year. II has been difficult to Sc
cure the names and addresses OF
persons who really desire the seed, |
and thinking possibly that you
would be willing to aid in placing /
the seed now available in the hands
of persons living in your locality |
who may wish them. / have sent you 4
a quantity for distribution which /
should reach you in ample time for
spring planting"

BORES

Naturally none of us would be bores if we knew We were.
That is the unfortunate part of a bore. They never know it.
To be on the safe side supposing we think over what const-
tutes a bore and then apply the acid test to ourselves.
A person who talks too much is one of the worst type OF
bores. Have you never had such a person drop in on you in
the midst of a busy morning of housework or during business
hours, and take up your valuable time relating in minute
detail some experience that to you was wholly uninteresting.
''The secret of being a bore is TO tell everything" Ii you
don't know such a person you are fortunate.
Then there is the person to whom everything must have
a personal applcation-and there are many of them. You
are walking with such a person and as you pass a dress shop
you casually comment on the attractiyeness of a certain blue
dress in the window. ''Oh, my but I never could wear blue.
1t doesn't go with my coloring,' the personal bore exclaims.
Such a person, ~methinks, would ignore the beauty OF the blue
Of the heavens because it didn't match their eyes.
Another type of bore is the 81 told you so" type. How
aggravating they are. Nothing happens but what they just
knew it would. No mistake is made, but what they, had
they been consulted, could have avoided Any bit of news or
idle gossip that you might relate to them, they have always
known before. Such a ones powers of divination are greatly
augmented by their Imagination, methinks.
We all know the "That reminds me" bore. Harmless
but very tiresome at times.
Sad to relate, the bores are SO numerous and varied that
to make a list at all comprehensive, We must continue it in
our next article. In the meantime apply the test.
