plants and carry a full line of bulbs
and seed. The prices are exceeding
ly low this year and everyone
should plan to do some planting and
by doing so not only enhance the
beauty of the home grounds but also
beautify the entire city.
There are some who this year
cannot afford to buy plants or flow
ers or who do not have space for a
garden. But these PERSONS can join
the contest, help beautify the COM
munity and possibly win one of the
many prizes offered. They can clean
up their back yards or alleys, re-
move old outbuildings or chicken
coops or dog houses that are no
longer used and white wash or
paint the fences or outbuildings that
are still used.
The purpose of this contest which
is sponsored by the Milford Rotary
Club is to help make Milford the
Garden City of Twin Counties"
and If everyone will cooperate by
beautifying the home grounds by
planting gardens and cleaning up
back yards and alleys the city can
be made to live up to the slogan.

WHAT Is A QUALITY CHICK!
(By Prof. Paul G. Rilevl

Wy NlOis Il dul VI. nilcyJ
Chicks are judged by how they
look as babies, how they live, how
they grow, how they feather, how
early they mature and how well they
lay
Big chicks come from big eggs.
Eggs weighing % ounces are the
smallest eggs that produce good
sized chicks. OF course, the smaller
the eggs set the smaller the eggs
laid by the pullets raised from these
eggs.
Livability is based on good hatch
ing plus clean parent stock. Years
of honest and thorough blood test
ing are needed to guarantee clean
stock. OF course, even good chicks
can be killed by poor management.
Rapid growth and feathering are
inherited, but any chicks that get
set back or flock where losses are

WHAT IS ARTISTIC
TEMPERAMENT?

HE English writer, Mr.. st. John
L Adcock, tells the story of q
young artist who excused his poor
physique, which he made no effort
to improve, with the remark, "a
highly sensitive and artistic tenn
permanent invariably goes with bad
heaitn." III
Strange, then, what a healthy
specimen Browning was-and Shake
speare, and Michaelangelo!" re-
plies Mr.. Adcock, adding: Frankly,
| think we are too ready to confuse
artistic temperament with things
that have nothing to do with it!'
How many of us have thought
that when people tried to excuse
all sorts of weaknesses and failings
by their license as ''artists"I

tuition that has long been mistakenly

aHent. How about disinclination
or inability" to work-except un-
der special inspiration? How about
the parasitical attitude that the
world-or the ordinary, prosaic
members of a family-owe living
to the artist" and leisure to pursue
his sacred art? How about gen
eral feeling of contemptuousness or
at least superiority over the num-
dane world which justifies its exist
ence by means other than following
tire muses.?

something that is rightly debunkei
1t is true that certain kinds of crea

of concentration and an opportunity
for greater detachment from routine
matters than work which is in it,
