! a garden is a fern corner.

IN garden is q fern corner. Ono
home-owner has beautiful bed O;
greenery which she has developed
thru several years careful study and
|, IN this plot you will find every kind of
fern that grows in the state and that
viii thrive in that. particular altitude.
In landscape scheme the same
thing is true that concerns the beau
tifying of home-that is. it is the in
diyidual touch that enhances loneliness.
With little study one can develop a
most attractive decorative scheme,
whether flowers or greenery, or both.
The secret of the whole scheme OF
landscape architecture is to have
some definite, artistic idea back OF
the planting; then stick to the plan.
II is well to choose scheme that will
not require too many years of grow
ing to develop.
By all means, however, one should
develop the grounds surrounding the
home. Small city yards offer abund-
ant opportunities, even beautiful,
well-kept lawn on a twenty-five foot
lot is attractive when kept free from
flower beds and shrubs in the center
and all decorative work confined to
the extreme edge.
Don't overlook the fact that one
of the first things to do is to cover all
unsightIy spots and all unattractive
things about the yard-the garbage
can must be placed within small
latticed enclosure, over which vines
may run; the back yard fence should
universally be painted; il full strength
of paint is too expensive, try thinning
it with third gasoline and thus OBJ
tanning good stain. Whitewash can
be used to good advantage, but don't
whitewash the trunks of the trees.
Let them remain the color nature in
tended. In all your schemes, don't
overlook the artistic results obtainable
by the building of trellises, arbors,
latticed enclosures, etc. Study the
view from your windows. particularly
the dining room; then see that vines
trail over the unattractive spots.
So no matter what you plant. or
whether you plant early or late, or
major in flowers, shrubs, vines, tall
trees or small ones, the thing to do
Is to plant something and plant it
abundantly, but plant what you plant
with some definite idea as to future
beauty.

MISS REDDlNG BACK FROM
INTERESTING EUROPEAN TRIP

Montrose Press:-
Miss Edwyl Redding has returned to
Montrose after q six months trip
abroad, during which time she took in
many Of the great sights of the old
world and also had some instructions
in piano and pipe organ from the best
known teachers in Paris.

sumo her duties at the Western State
College at Gunnison, where both Miss
Redding and Miss Hatch are employed
as instructors, both receiving a years
leave of absence in order to take this
trip.
The countries visited by Misses Red
ding and Hatch were, Holland, Belgium
Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Eng
land. They also touched at Monte
Carlo and visited the famous gambling
casino. One of the memorable events
of the trip was the witnessing of the
Passion Play at Oberammergau, per-
haps the last performance which will
ever be given by this historic little
community. While at Oberammergau,
Miss Redding and Miss Hatch were
lodged at the house of the man who
played Judas in the Passion Play.
The return trip was made on q
small steamer on the United States
line, which carried on this particular
trip but 80 passengers. The sea was
rough and many Of the passengers
were Ill, but Miss Redding and her
friend never missed q meal. Landing

SETTING YOUR SAILS

On the walls of the Wolcott school
In Denver, hangs an extract from one
Of Tennyson's poems. 1t is printed in
Old English type and framed will,
considerable artistic taste. II is a
sermon that everyone should memo
rize and profit by. Here it is:
"One ship drives east, another drives
west
While the self-same breezes blow;
'Tis the set of the sails and not the
gales
That bids them where to go.
Like the winds of the sea are the
ways of the Fates
As we move along through life.
"ris the set of the soul that decides
the goal,
And not the storm or the strife"

The quotation is a proverb, but not
of Solomon. Josephus relates, however
that during the reign of King Solom-
on, the valley Of Jehosaphat was
planted with cedars of Lebanon, which
never before grew in that valley, and
that the following generations found
these cedars more plentiful than the
native sycamores.
How the planting in Solomon's time
was effected is not recorded; possibly
an Arbor day was decreed by royal
proclamation. II suffices to know that
knew the use of trees and shrabbery
in landscape decorations. In the
fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries
Western Europe planted forests as

Solomon, renowned in wisdom, per-
ceived the need for arboriculture and
took effective measures. The ancient
Greeks and Romans were acquainted
with the art of tree culture. Attic
they planted no extensive forests they
exhausted and transportation facilities
were poor. Within the last century
France especially has excelled in tree
planting, reclaming barren swamp
land and denuded forest slopes. Ger
many, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden,
and other countries in Europe, prac.
tice forestry to an extent not generally
realized in the United States. Even
Japan is further advanced in forestry
than the United States.
The achievements of this country IN
forestry since 1906, while remarkable,
have not measured up to our require
ments. We are dragging behind. not
within the National Forests, but within
the private timber lands.
Arbor Day, however, is observed
chiefly as day for arboriculture.
While forestry relateh to forests grow,
for timber, aboriculture has to do with
the individual tree planting, mainly for
ornamentation. Lawn trees, and street
trees are given chief prominence on
Arbor Day.

. .CONSCRIPTION OF PRESSMEN, THREAT
Union Head Announces Program After Meeting Is Stampeded

NEW YORK. Sept 23.-Conscrip- tion of newspaper pressmen from other cities to operate the presses of New York's newspapers. even at the cost of suspending publication of other papers, was threatened today by George l.. Berry, president of the Pressmen's International union. Berry announced his program in an address to a virtually empty hall. after striking pressmen had stam- peded a meeting called to permit him to explain the new agreement signed with the publishers by the interna- tional Friday.
 Mr. Berry said his purpose in making the speech to the handful of pressmen, newspapermen, detectives and ushers in Town Hall after vir- tually all of the 400 strikers had left was to have the address printed and distributed among the striking mem bers of local No. 9 which was de- clared dissolved after officials of the international had characterized the strike as illegal.
 The strikers stampeded after one Simons, head of the outlawed local should call the session to order which MT. Berry asserted he could not permit.
 Simons rose from the audience and shouted: Boys, we will not listen to a strikebreaker; let's go" Most of those who seemed hesitant were rounded up by leaders of the strikers, who announced they would hold a meeting in another section Of the city.
