 The rose, Americas most widely known flower, is grown in all but a very few states.
 The rules governing the raising of good blooms apply to every climate. Nothing equals the joy of producing perfect flower. and if success is to be expected, cer- tain conditions must prevail.
 There must be drainage at the bottom of a good clay loam soil bed. Manure or a commercial fer tilizer is essential. Spraying for insects is necessary, but the most important item in raising good roses is proper pruning at the time they begin growth in the spring .
 Even if the buds are swollen or just coming into leaf, prune the stems severely. Roses bloom on the

Troutdale. ore. (UP)--A four foot drop in the waters of the Sandy River left millions of smelts stranded on a sand bar as shriek- ing guils circled and swooped down on the helpless fish.
 The smelts were trying to gain the upper reaches of the Sandy River from the Columbia. But the smelt schools after a few tentative thrusts up the Sandy would swerye back when beset by the gulls.

 There is no lesson that mankind needs more to learn than the, les son of forgiveness.
 Forgiveness is the center and soul of the gospel, for the gospel concerning Jesus Christ is the declaration to the world of Gods mercy and of his willingness to forgive. If we believed that gos- pei in all it's purity and simplic- ity, and took it into our lives with directness and sincerity, for giveness would be the most out standing thing in human life. Yet, when we contrast this ideal with the actual picture of life, how great is the discrepancy! Even those who make the great est profession of religion are often the most hard and relent- less and unforgiving in their at- titude when someone has done them some real or imagined wrong.
 The professing Christian often can nurture for years resentful and vengeful feelings, utterly un- mindful of his daily prayer to

for our present crime situation.
I think it equally probable also
that there must be some good
reason for our oversupply Of soft

criminal coddlers."
Within the last two decades
there has developed a great deal
of sympathy for the bad mem
bers of our society. Capital pun
ishment is not approved by many
humane, intelligent people, those
who are, in all other respects,
sane, decent citizens with the
good of their country at heart.
There is, then, but one way to
account for all this. We have
not lost our sense Of justice; we
only are beginning family to re-
cover it. In short, the ordinary
individual in the United States
is not quite able to distinguish
between the harm done to society
by a certain type of lawyer rec
ognized by the bar, and the
harm done by the law-breaker
himself.

Don't YOU think the time has
come when, as a good mother
preparing her children for life in
a fiercely competitive universe,
YOU should encourage your son to
grow away from you? You would
not wish TO keep the relationship
between you so close that it would

Mrs. Mildred Evan Michael, ma
ture counselor, encouraged the
establishment of a museum in the
KiwaniS library to which the girls
brought their collections Of plant
and animal life. She introduced the
girls to the study Of fresh water
life and taught them a new art,
the making Of smoke prints of
leaves and plants.
They improved upon the old
style of spatter prints also. Profess
sor Willard N. Clute of Butler uni
versity, assisted Mrs. Michael with
tree study for the campers. He
spent two days in the camp identi-
fying and labelling the trees of
Dellwood and leading the girls
upon nature hikes. In the last
period he conducted a contest in
the recognition of trees which was
won by May Jean Seton of Troop
so.
The Pioneer campers, under the
direction of Miss Mildred Jenkins,
made several overnight hikes. They
prepared two meals to which the
parents and friends of the campers
were invited. The Pioneers built
patrol outdoor kitchens, and made
their furniture by laShing.
Athletics were under the direction
of Miss Iona Jean Hodson, tennis,
Switchboard, archery, volley ball
and folk dancing were included.
Kentucky mountain dancing was
introduced this summer by Miss
Hathaway. One group gave an eX-
hibition Of this type of dancing at
the anniversary party of the Me-
ridian Hills Country Club. Riding
and swimming we're taught. A
swimming meet and water pag-
cant were held during the summer
under the direction Of Miss Blanche
Veach and Miss Laura Jane Stout,
waterfront directors.
The department Of dramatics, un-
der Miss Marion Ortseifen, produced
seven pageants and plays through
out the season which were witnessed
by parents and friends.
In addition, programs were pre-
sented each Sunday at Scouts Own.
The most elaborate production was
that of the pied Piper of Hamelin,"
in which the whole camp participant
ed during the second period. Co.'S
tunes and properties for the plays
throughout the season were made
by the campers themselves under
the direction of Miss Ortseifen.
