ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES
february 22 to 28)

Hot beds may be made up late
this month or early next if the
weather is not too cold.
Golden willow and red dogwood
twigs brighten up the landscape on
warm days. Soft maple buds are
also cheerful just now.
Plant a few pot herbs this year.
Sage, caraway, dill, coriander, anice,
etc. are easy to grow and are USE
full in the kitchen.
Large lowered strains of zinnias
are best to plant. There are some
fine varieties on the market in
straight colors.
Efforts are being made by eastern
wild flower organizations to stop the
destruction of wild flowers. We
must begin to conserve these flow
ers if we are to have them with us
much longer. They are beautiful
Why waste them?
Pussy willows cut now and placed
in the living room will open and
give a touch of spring to the sur
roundings. Twigs of some flower
ing shrubs will open if not forced
too fast.
The California Fruit Exchange

fountains to use chemicals instead
of pure fruit juices by placing

A Few More TrlIlions.

That old conspiracy Of science to
make man feel like a very small flea
crawling upon an understood ball Of
earth, lost In nightmarishly huge
universe, continues. Hundreds Of
stars 10000 times brighter than our
sun have just been reported by the
Harvard astronomers who spent last
summer In Peru. This milky way Of
the southern hemisphere is SO far dis
tant that its observers turn to trillions
Of miles to express its remoteness.
Man ought to have been crushed long
ago by these trillions. Science has
magnlfied the universe beyond all be-
lief or comprehension. Man remains
the highest achievement 1t contains,
SO far as we know. Why should he
worry because a few trillions are add.

Large and Small Volumes.

A writer on rare books says:
Sometimes the rare books Of the
world have owed their pre-eminenee
to oddity of size. There have been
the abnormally little books. In the
palace Of the Escorial in Spain there
were volumes six feet In height By
four feet in breadth. The Thumb

to vote for the plans. But like
many others, he said, he will be
glad to get letters telling him to

Then there is the repeated pledge
by Charles M. Babcock, state high

who vote for the highway bonds
will so earn the commentator and
gratitude of their constituents in
the end. "The plan will reduce
temporary and increase permanent
work, savings on upkeep more than
paying the interest charges, and
the public will benefit from the
use Of more good roads every year
and especially during the next five
years-all without one cent of in
crease in auto or road taxes" said
