Is provided also that Secretary Work
may accept any bid which. in his judg-
ment, is most advantageous to the
government and he reserves the right
to reject any or all bids.
The recent success OF the interior
department in selling the royalty oil
from the Salt Creek field at mld-con-
tinent prices has prompted Secretary
Work TO adopt a similar policy in con-
nection with the other oil fields on
government lands within Wyoming.
Based on the 10000 barrels of royalty
oil which the government was receiv-
ing at the time OF tho Salt Creek con-
tract, 1t is estimated additional reve-
nue. Of S., 1884, 500 will be obtained to be
divided among the reclamation service,
the state of Wyoming. and the federal
treasury. as a direct result of selling
the royalty oil at mid-continent prices.

POPULARITY OF CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOL is INCREASING

Denver.-The number of public
schools in Colorado is decreasing,
while the number of pupils enrolled,
the average daily attendance and the
number of teachers employed are all in
creasing. Surveys conducted by the
State immigration Department show
only 2,SS4 public schools of all classes
in the state at the beginning of 1923,
compared with 1916 last year, while
the number of teachers employed this
year is S,745, compared with S.192 last
year.. The records of the state super
intendent of schools show that the av-
erage daily attendance in the public
schools for the school years ending
June 80, 1922, was 1926, compared
with 1858 for the preceding years,
while the number of pupils enrolled in
1922 was 243,Oo4, compared with 232,-
157 the preceding year.
The decrease in the number of
schools is due to the growing popular
ity of the consolidated school, which
takes the place of two or more small
er schools, and provides better school
building and school facilities in gen
eral than were previously provided in
the smaller schools. County superin-
tendents reported 40 consolidated
schools in the state this year, COM
pared with 76 last year.

STUDY THE GARDEN SKY LINE
Matter Of Importance Which Adds to
or Detracts Materially From
Its Beauty.

Carefully planned flower gardens
and borders of ANIMALS often seem to
lack something and fail to come up to
the expectations of their owner and
designer. In a great many cases the
factor lacking and which Is not appar-
ent is diversity of height and variety
of "sky line" A monotony of height
in the various beds and colonies Of
flowers. particularly if they are all
of fairly low growth, detracts greatly
from the general effect and the rca-
son for the lack of a completely sat
isfactory garden isn't apparent until
this feature is considered.
In planting the flower garden this
year, and particularly in the arrange
ment Of a long border, study the ar
rangement so that there will be a
fairly tall planting from time to time,
or at least a group of three or four
~tall-growing ANNALS to break this
monotony and give variety.
Some of the ANNALS best suited for
this purpose and which grow easily
and quickly from seed are the spider
flower (Cleome pungens), the annual
small-ffowered sunflowers (Helianthus
cucumerifolius varieties), not to be
confounded with the huge annual sun
flowers of old-fashioned gardens; the
star-fiowered ornamental tobacco, Nj
cotiana %sylvestrls. the handsome mall
lows, Lavatera trimestris; the tall
African marigolds; or the plumy cello
sias or cockscombs.
An occasional planting of some of
these tall-growing ANNALS is needed
to break up the uniformity of height
OF so many of the summer ANIMALS
which range around a foot and a half
to two feet in height.
When beds of robust-growing an
nuals such as zinnias n African
marigolds are planted, they should be
arranged so that some plant of lower
growth and suitable coloring will be
adjoining to give this variety. The
effect Is much finer II this detail Is
watched closely in laying out the gar
den. Monotony of height as well as
monotony OF color is to be avoided
If the most decorative value Is to be
secured from the planting.
