THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Now that the common honeysuckle Is
in bloom again on the old fence, we
swear there is no finer flower growing.
Now we scorn the roses and lovely
peonies, the beautiful gladioli for the
homelike scent of these little blossoms.
The bees love them, too. They come
in their numbers to imbibe the sweet
nectar.
The common honeysuckle has messy
sort of growth, which makes many care
full gardeners frown upon It, owing to its
desire to "take the place" and to grow
over everything.
The flowers and fragrance in their
season, however, make up for these un-
desirable traits.
Honeysuckle in its common form is a
plant which must be handled properly to
get the most from it.
Many persons with very small yards
insist on planting it, when it is perhaps
the very last thing they should try to
use.
It's rampant, sprawling habits of
growth make 1t undesirable for small
places. If one wants vines, simply must
have vines, there are many more de-
sirable sorts for the small place.
There are various places in the large
yard where the common honeysuckle
will fit in nicely, but even there 1t will
need great deal Of trimming. 1t has an
undesirable habit Of punching its growth
at the top, as the lower part tends to
become brown.
This habit makes a fence look top
heavy.
Perhaps the clay bank is the best place
in the world for the ordinary honey
suckle.
Often such a place is not suited for
a terrace. A wall seems too expensive
Growth of grass in such a situation Is
impossible.
1t is here that common honeysuckle
shines. at practically no cost, for small
plants Of it may be collected from
almost any vacant lot, or one may get
them from friends who have them and
are glad to get rid of them.
This honeysuckle is really a weed in
a sense, and has all the average weed S
tenacity, rampant growth and hardness.
These qualities make it just the thing
for such bank, where the wild thyme
grows" as the poet put 1t, but where
WIS Va ANhAoAy AlOAACyouSAAC kEOWS even
better.
Do not tear 1t out ruthlessly, there
fore, when first finding it in any loca-
ton, for it may be the very thing needed.
Look the situation over, and do not
let any one sneer needlesSly, saying. "Oh,
1t is just old common honeysuckle"
The more one gardens, the more sure
he Is to discover that many of the old
common things Of the plant world have
their uses.
Thus. one may read with interest the
words OF famous horticulturiSt, to the
effect that the common hydrangeaS
grown by the thousands everywhere are
very much overdone."
1t is true that they are. and the reader
thinks he sees exactly what the famous
horticulturist means. The same may be
said Of the privet hedge, the mock
orange. and any number of things
which home owners have found worth
growing because of ''Sure-fire" qualities.
But when so much is admitted it also
must be said that because many persons
have planted some one flower does not
mean that some one else should not
plant 1t If he wants it bad enough.
So take all comments. from the great
est to the least, with the grain of salt
necessary.

Tribute to Scholars.

Every now and again some cynic arises
to declare that Americans care little for
scholarship. And it must be conceded
that there have been instances and oc-
casions when the jibe has seemed justi-
fed. But generally the rule is that men
and women who forego Ruskin's sar-
castle race for sixpences" and devote
their talents to study are honored for
their ideals. Particularly is that true
when they devote themselves to enter
prises which have immediate pragmatic
value.
Consider the case of DR.. Henry E.
Bourne, shortly to retire from the edi-
torial chair of the American Historical
Review. The fruits of his labors are
acknowledged with gratitude by public
much more numerous than the actual
company Of subscribers to the periodical
upon which for an entire decade he has
been expending his genius. Indeed, it is
not too much to claim that he has earned
the appreciation of his country. The un-
lettered millions may not realize their
debt to him, but that does not signify
that the obligation does not exist. On
the contrary, he has taught the teachers
and thus has influenced the masses in
directly to their everlasting benefit with
out being handicapped by the dubious
distinctions of notoriety.
And much the same citation may be
made for DR.. Dumas Malone and DR..
Harris Z. Starr. In few weeks they
will conclude their work as editor and
associate editor respectively of the Die
tionary OF American Biography. The

From the ChicaEo Tribune.

The practice of putting the burden of
responsibility on the pedestrian in motor

The idea does not work out when little
child wanders in play into the path of
an automobile. There is no culpability
to be defined. yet heavy penalty of
sorrow and remorse is exacted without
the assertion of authority.

Sleepy Eye Field; Doctor Injured
Three Other Passengers, One
An Invalid, Unhurt in
Mishap Saturday

Sleepy Eye-Lost in fog miles
from its destination, an airplane
on a mercy mission made fore
ed landing in a cornfield on the
northeast edge of town Saturday
at 2::3O a. m. and nosed over af-
ter striking a snowdrift, injuring
one passenger.
The accident was similar to one
which happened at Sanborn only
ten days before.
In the plane, a six place Travel

Whirlwind engine, were Albert
Barton, 10 year old Lennon,
South Dakota, boy; DIR. L. H. Rob-
erts of Little Falls, Minnesota,
who suffered a broken shoulder
blade, and William Misfield, me-
chanic and Pete Lohmar, chief
pilot, both with the Brown and

The youth, who formerly lived
at Little Falls, was suffering from
brain abscess and was taken to
Minneapolis by train with his
family doctor. Boarding a plane
at Wold- Chamberlain field at mid
night, they set out for Rochester
Near their destination they be-
came lost in fog and flew around
finally getting out of the fog near
New Ulm. They went on to Sleepy
Eye and then to Springfield where
the pilot was able to distinguish
Spring" on the water tower and
guessed that they were at Spring
Valley which is south of Rochest-
er.
Returning to Sleepy Eye, the
plane circled the town flashing
lights as a distress signal anc
attracting the attention of George
Kunze, student pilot, who started
for a field near town to set sigma
fires with kerosene. Before ne
had fires going, the plane made 9
good landing on the other side OF
town but tipped after travelling
about so feet on the ground.
The boy was rushed to New
Ulm and then to Rochester while
the doctor was taken to a New
Ulm hospital.
The plane was damaged slight.
/ ly, the propeller and engine
mounting being broken. The plane
| instruments were working but the
pilot did not know where he was
from Rochester so his compass
was of no use. He landed to get
his bearings and to get gas as the
supply was low, although not
dangerously so.

Hub Deep Water Forces
Traffic Limit on Roads
3 Ton Regulation Posted On
Roads in Southern
Part of County

With water in some places run
ming over the grades hub deep,
County Engineer Richard Cook
ordered roads in parts of south
ern Redwood county closed Tues
day to heavy traffic. Wednesdays
storm added to the problem of
getting the roads in shape.
Signs were also being posted in
some northern townships of the
county Wednesday, while use of
all roads in the county will event
TALLY be limited, Mr.. Cook said,
as the spring thaw advances.
All vehicles, which with their
loads weigh more than three tons,
are forbidden to use the roads un-
der Mr.. Cooks orders, placards
having been mounted in approp-
riate places where they can be
easily seen.
eff they find that truckers are
violating the load limit, Mr.. Cook
commented, "the county commits
sioners will send out deputy sher-
ifs to see to it that the regula-
tions be enforced.
''If the roads are closed to hea-
Wy loads, he added, chances are
that We can keep light trucks and
cars moving, otherwise the roads
will become impossible entirely"
The worst conditions of the
roads were reported to be near
Walnut Grove where water and
mud wash over the running
boards. Passing for two cars is
extremely hazardous and in some
places motorists are compelled to
wait until a machine seen coming
from a distance down the road has
passed before progressing.
The general snowfall Wednesday
meant it's addition to the flood
waters when it begins to melt un-
der the suns rays which have
supplanted plows in a few instan-
ces in ridding the roads of snow.
The only serious accident of the
winter in connection with snow re-
moval occurred Saturday wher
Jens Jensen of Wabasso suffered
a broken leg when run over by a
plow on which he was working
Jensen slipped from the running
board of the machine, his leg be.
