BULBS AND BULB PRICES

Most of our bulbs have now ar rived and we have a large supply of bulbs for forcing and fall plant ing. All are of the best grades and highest quality obtainable. Buying direct from growers enables us to make our prices somewhat less than those asked by dealers in the States as the comparison below shows.
 In the comparison we have Tul- ips, for all reliable dealers handle the same grade, hence prices are strictly comparable. This compari- son is made with Philadelphia seed firm, doing, perhaps, the larg- est mail order business of its kind in the country and also of seed house doing large wholesale and retail business and importing thou sands of cases of bulbs every sea son, with stores in New York and Chicago. One in each of several classes of Tulips with prices are for a dozen as follows.

WEATHER INSTRUMENT AN AID TO
 AVIATION.

Keeping pace with the development of aviation in providing the very essential weather information required the United States Weather Bureau recently developed electrical instrument for indicating indoors the direction from which the wind blows This equipment supplements older device for indicating in like the wind velocity so that in a few moments observer indoors can know both the direction and velocity of the wind at the time.
 This direction indicator consists of four small automibile lamps arranged in the form of square with the north lamp at the top, mounted a board attached to the wall in the office. Electric current is obtained from small transformer and the indicator connected by six wires to a contactng wind vane bearing and at the top of a pipe support high enough to place the out of reach of objectionable wind turbulence The contactng device is so arranged that with the closing of the electrical circuit the. north lamp is lighted when the wind is coming from any point from wesnorth- west to east northeast similarly the east lamp from north northeast to south-southeast and the other two cardinal directions likewise This overlapping in the contracting mechanism makes possible the indication of directions to eight points of the compass.
 The contracting wind bearing was designed by B c. Kadel Chief of the Instrument Division

For the first time in 10 years the single mems baseball team de- feated the married mems team, in a stirring nine-inning game But we all think 1t was a put-up job on the married men this year in order to change the general course of things. You see 1t was like this: the boss put practically every mar ried man in the camp to work the evening of the 3rd at repaid work in the mill and kept them at it until 5 o'clock in the morning, lifting and tugging at heavy machinery Who could play baseball after working all night like that? So we all think it was all cut and dried beforehand. And even at that the single men won the game only by one single run and got the benefit of two bum decisions by the Umpire at that
 The final score was g to &, in favor of the single men. But that's all
 in life time.
