A LTHo one OF every five persons

Thousands OF scripts reach every

there Is a distinct difference between

may DO told on tho screen.
Tho first essential IL that motion

or quote titles, tho photoplay must
have It's plot advanced. It's charac.

Water Lilies From Seed.

Many of the choicest of water
lilies, even the magnificent Victoria
regia, may be grown from seed. For
many years the seed OF this lily when
brought to this country failed to
terminate, says Homes and Gardens.
It was finally found that by bot
ting the seeds In the water OF the
liver in which they grew they could
be transported safely from the wa
tiers OF the Amazon to the Far West
Here the lily is usually grown with
bottom heat, as It is very tender.
Seeds started In pots in tempera-
ture OF ninety degrees win germi-
nate in about two weeks and may be
planted out In the open air when the
nights have become warm-usualiy
about the first Of June. and WIN
bloom the same summer but cannot
be carried through the winter but
must be started afresh each season
either by the purchase OF plants
or the sowing Of seed. the latter be-
ing, OF course, much more econnrni-
cal as seeds may be purchased for .
few nickels apiece. the plants oozftu&
