confused.

wise 1t is congestion. You can't call those
spendthrifts without calling all these flowers
misers-beautiful misers. Probably If we
could read the minds of all misers we'd find
many beautiful flower gardens among them
eh?"
EMMY was at the end of his rope He could
not think why a flower might be called a
miser. Ruth helped him.
Yes" she said, not only are there flower
gardens in the minds of many misers but
flowers themselves misers Flowers don't

GRANGE to a hungry world. They stay at home
and hoard their wealth"
"And the weeds-how do you make spend
thrifts out of them?" asked Benny pressing
for further rescue after a heart-leap of relief
"Oh, every spendthrift is a weed, Just like
the docks and plantains and thistles and wild
morning glories. They spill all over everything.
Real flowers never do that. They are conser-
vatiye, never waste their energies. They never
CAD about like weeds. Even wild flowers are
home bodies. Sometimes I think they are
more beautiful You have to hunt them out to
find what Is interesting in them"
Even as you went to the miser and found

humbly you see. know your secret It's

story about the million dollar poem"
Come in the house and wel talk it over"
she said.
And so Benny got the story
Ruths father died while she was q senior
in high school, and she was forced to give ND
her plans for a university course following her
graduation. So she took up nursing and the
demands for her services were so great that
she was able to earn fair living for herself
and her mother. And in spite of the hurdles
of finance and work she managed to find time
enough to keep the spendthrift weeds out of
her beds of perennial flowers-which she had
always loved.
In the course of her professional labors she
met the miser, Mr.. Ruff She nursed him
through severe illness. He growled and
grumbled and snapped at the world in general.
But Ruth found out something about him that
his neighbors never suspected. refused to
suspect, in their ignorance of human curdlings
could not suspect Little, long-smothered
sympathies, interpretations, understandings,

Ruth encouraged them, sympathized with them,

Benny saw all the possibilities at fash And
the author had won million dollars with 1t.
Optismism for Ruth Mason's art took pos
session of his brain the instant his eye fell on
the house and ground that bore the number
of the author of the "million-dollar poem"
The house was a cottage, small, plain. but with
a wealth of flowers all around. Benny was not
a flower poet and he did not know the names
of many of them. But these flowers moved
him. Every color of the rainbow there.
and a million more, it seemed, arranged in
groups and rows and curves and angles, huge
rooted bouquets, long hedges of blossoming
beauty!
And there was Ruth!
Benny knew 1t the instant he saw here, clad
in a loose-fitting smock, leaning over and pull
ing few small weeds that menaced the inno-
cent purity Of a cluster of sweet williams.
Slowly he walked up the gravel path that
curved about through the colorful yard and
stopped few feet from the bending girl.
She did not see him. He scraped one foot on
the gravel, instead Of conventionally clearing
his throat, and she looked up.
oh" she exclaimed pleasantly from
pleasant face. There was nothing in Benny
to excite apprehension-more wonder perhaps,
he was constitutionally so enigmatical These
weeds-theyre positively terrible. I can't bear
the sight OF one, even in its innocent infancy"
Regular spendthrifts, aren't they?" sug-
gested Benny with subtle motive in the ven

in her countenance spoke plainly: Who are

I'm a newspaper reporter-interested in

MAY PRESENT MORE
INITIATED BILLS FOR
NOVEMBER ELECTION
Taxpayer chieftains Admit Pre-
Iiminary Moves at Fargo
Meeting

Fargo. N. D.. July 8.-North Da-
kota may vote on more initiated tax
payer measures in the general elec-
tion next fall
Following meeting Of four of the
seven members of the executive board
of the North Dakota Taxpayers as
sociation here. it was said that new
initiative proposals were considered.
No definite action will be taken, how
ever, until meeting of the full board
is arranged.
A measure likely to be initiated is
cne providing for 20 per cent reduc-
ton in salaries of state officials. A
similar bill for the primary election
fell by the wayside when the state
supreme court held it invalid because
it had no enacting clause.
If such a bill is passed in Novem-
ber, it will present a problem. It
would become effective l3 days after
the officers affected had been elect
ed, though it would go into operation
we'll in advance of the time such
officers go into service. Salaries of
elective officials may not be changed
during the periods to which such Of
flcials are elected. The question of
the salary cut would affect
the new officers would arise.
Some idea as to the probable initia-
tive program considered by the tax
payers directors may be cleaned from
a study of recommendations made at
the recent annual meeting of the Or
ganization at Devils Lake. These
communications included:
Road building: Abolishing prop
erty tax for county highways. using
funds derived from gas and vehicle
tax only.
Printing: Abolishing publication
ot delinquent property tax lists.
Elections: Abolishing presidential
preference primary. Providing for
of election supplies by
mail, instead of by sheriffs.
Counties: Providing for method of
counties, providing for
of offices of clerk of
court and judge in counties of less
han 10000 population.
In view of the fact that petitions
must be filed 80 days ahead of the
the association officials have
only limited time in which to pre-
'arc the draft of their proposed acts,
md to circulate the petitions, and
'btain the required number of sigma
