Arbutus Hailed as
Harbinger of Hope

After the first terrible winter in
New England, one of the first sights
to cheer the Pilgrims during the early
spring days was arbutus, the sweetest
flower that grows" The dainty bios
SONS were hailed as a symbol of hope,
a promise of the better things in store
after the fortunes of that dreadful first
winter. Tradition relates that the ear
ly Pilgrims were so overjoyed at the
sight of the charming plant, the bios
SONS of which seemed to appear from
under the winters snow, that they
called it the Mayfower.
The true Mayflower, however, re
marks the Detroit News, is an Eng
lish plant, neither resembling nor re-
lated to It's native American name
sake. Whether the American species
was named in tender remembrance of
home ties in England, or in honor of
the sturdy vessel that carried our
forebears safely across the ocean, is
not known.
The name Mayfiower Is still in COM
mon use throughout New England, al
though in other sections the plant is
usually called arbutus. The true ar
butus Is also an English species that
is not even closely related to our beau
tiful plant.

THE craze for canaries is an excel
= lent one for the up-and-coming
small-town girl to capitalize.
Because of lack of competition in
this country coupled with constant
ly growing demand for the birds, it is
easy to make good raising canaries,
says a girl who has Investigated the
subject and, subsequently, has
launched herself in this well-paying
business There are few drawbacks
to the business. The canary is a
hardy pet, used to captivity, and able
to survive with minimum amount of
care. Its breeding requires little cap
ital to start, and the business can be
expanded readily as profits justify it.
The prospective canary producer
should, If she is a novice, invest in
the common canary of commerce.
One male and two females will start
profitable flock.
The amateur breeder should find
out all she can from books about
breed, classification, varieties, mating,
care of nestlings and training of song
sters. In general, the prime food re-
Quisite of canarses is canary seed to
which has been added a small guam
tity of rape seed and little hemp.
The birds should have opportunity for
daily bathing.
During the incubating period, the
breeder must take special care Of the
tiny eggs, as they are exceedingly
fragile; and she must see that moth
ing worries or disturbs the mother
bird while sitting. When the nest
lings are month old, separate cage
should be provided for them. The
breeder should try to see that the
trainer" the bird who teaches the
babies to sing, is good songster, for
upon his training" depends the quail
ity of the voices of the male birds
and, consequently, the prices they will
bring. Only the males are songsters.
The novice can hardly hope to COM
pete with the big dealers and breed
ers. She may, however, easily market
her birds by taking them to pet
stock store in city, or, If none is
nearby, display them IN window IN
the busiest store in her own town.
The Immediate sales and the adver-
Using for future sales will more than
justify the rent of the window.
Or perhaps you would like to start
a bird store? There are many such
small establishments scattered over
the country. Usually the trade Is
combined with a business in dogs,
guinea pigs, white mice, goldfish. and
so on. Sometimes the proprietor is
required to act as surgeon and physi-
clan to domestic pets. All this is not
SO simple as starting with a few pairs
Of birds in your home, but it shows
how by study and application, one
can develop the business to any ex-
tent one DESIRES

"sIDE LINES"

0CIDE LINES" to the small-town
~ girl or woman, sometimes seem
as alluring and as unattainable as the
proverbial fruit that is just out OF
reach.
"But they're not !" insists one girl
who manages to turn out numerous
little painted cards, after a full days
work behind the counter. 1T really
rests me, after standing all day, to.
sit and make the little fiub-dub-
berries; 1 think any girl can have
paying hobby"
Every girl who spends stated
number of hours every day at her
typewriter, or behind her teachers
desk, or who has her life job taking
care of house, should have, If posi-
BILE, an avocation that she can enjoy.
Living In a small town is not handi-
cap. 1t is easier to make "pin money"
in connection with ones regular du-
ties, in small place than in larger
one. There is less competition in
small town, and more leisure.
The small-town girl who doesn't
know what she can make her paying
hobby" should take an inventory OF
her abilities. Can she make hats, do
hemstitching, make buttons, paint
postcards, make paper flowers, ribbon
rosettes, silk lamp shades, quilts,
house slippers, fancy handkerchiefs,
or carriers, lingerie pins, vases, bead
ed bags, door stops, wooden string
holders, desk sets, directory covers
bird shelters and feed cups, toys?
one girl raised money making
new theater curtain for the village
opera house, collecting the money for
the advertisements painted on it
from the town business men. Another
embroiders collars and blouses. Still
another makes a steady income Plan
ming and managing parties IN her
spare hours. There is money in but
terf1y gathering and mounting, max
ing of soaps and toilet articles, max
Ing hair switches, poultry raising,
gardening, running rental library,
and even in such simple feat as adj
vertising and selling ones Old clothes.
In general, the article upon which
the girl decides as her side line should
be low in wholesale cost and simple
in construction. 1t should be as near
Iy professional in appearance as pos
sible. Lastly, where 1t is to be dis
played or delivered in boxes, 1t should
be carefully packed-for taking care
of the article gives the subtle impress
sion that it is worth taking care of,
and that the hobby of making 1t is
real paying" one.

Oldest inhabitants even to remember it.
Years ago, when the first pioneers
invaded the San Joaquin valley, there
was a real Lake Tulare. 1t covered
approximately 10S square miles. Geol-
ogists are of the opinion that at one
time in ancient history it covered
1000 square miles.
The early settlers started reclaim
ing the shallow parts of the lake by
levees. Later on higher levees were
erected. Slowly the old lake was en-
croached on until it was squared and
resquared by leyees thirty feet high.

side directed at Charles G. Dawes,

his organization of the Minute Men

chiefly fighting the organizations OF
