to within a few inches of the soil
level repot, and sink in sunny gar
den spot to be brought indoors next
August. The plant must be faith
fully watered during the summer dry
spells if it is to bloom next Christ
mas, and must have its warm sunny
location in a windowsill reserved for
it when it is brought into the house.
CyclamenS.
Another beautiful but tempera-
mental gift plant is the cyclamen. 1t
resembles the Jerusalem cherry in
that it requires a temperature of about
fifty degrees, but the cyclamen should
be placed in an east rather than a
south window, as it needs less sun
light. Pour the water directly into
the pot without wetting the leaves
or the CORN, and do not let moisture
stand in the saucer about the roots, if
you want your cyclamen to thrive.
Bring the plant into the living room
for a few hours now and then to en-
joy it, but do not let it stand in the
hot sun or near a radiator. Ii the
flowers begin to droop, rush it back
to it's cool window.
When the flowers and leaves finally
fade in February, let the CORN dry
out completely and remove the dead
foliage and blossoms. The potted
CORN may then be kept in the cellar
in moist spot above freezing temper
ature and unwatered. When May
comes, the pot is placed on it's side
against shady garden wall or bank
and watered a little when nearby beds
are being hosed. When growth be-
gins again in late summer repot the
CORN carefully without disturbing the
delicate roots, and bring the plant
! indoors.
Christmas Cactus.
One of the most obliging of all win
forthcoming houseplants is tie
Christmas cactus. If you are lucky
enough to receive one as gift, water
it only twice week and keep it in
a cool north windowsill, during its
blooming period.
In late spring, SILK the pot IN d
shady garden bed; and if you want tc
increase your stock, cut off a branch
at a joint with aerial roots attached
and pot the cutting in sandy soil.
Though most houseplants do not
like moisture standing about their
roots, they will be healthier and hap
pier if a large open dish of water is
placed near them in order to provide
humidity in the atmosphere. A south
window is ideal for most plants as
some may be placed in full sun anG
others will occupy position toward
the west where they get only partial
sunlight. If possible choose window
which is far removed from the gas
fumes which come from the kitchen

the king is human being, a man who
has the same right to fall in love with
whomever he pleases as has his hum
blest subject, and, besides, they have
always liked Edward because of his
plain, democratic ways, his hatred OF
ostentation, his 1evel-headed way of
approaching problems.
What May Happen.
Distracted by all the noise and con-
fusion Mrs. Simpson has sought refuge
in Southern France, and the king is
said to be very much upset about the
whole affair, worried about the i'm
mense pressure that is brought TO
bear on him. He has been given TO
understand that if he does not re-
nounce his love, he may have to abdl-
cate: also, it has been said-and again
denied-that if he persisted, the Bald
win government might resign. Lat
est development at the moment OF
writing is a report to the effect tnat
the cabinet Monday evening decided
not to hurry matters; let the young
king think it over, but-please, don't
keep the people in suspense too Long!
1t may be that the king ultimately
will both marry Mrs. Simpson and
keep his crown, for there is no Brit
ish law that interferes. Should he
Weld. it would be to tradition and
church, as we'll as to his mother; the
constitution is on his side.
There is the possibility that a de-
cision to marry, and to remain king
in spite of it, will be applauded by a
majority of the people, and that the
king already senses it-therefOre, fin-
ally, may resolve to stand by both
wife-to-be and his glittering throne

Christmas Tree on Main Street.

The community Christmas tree for
Main street was recently brought to
town. This year it is proposed to
locate it in the center on Main street;
it is likely, however, that it will be
placed over toward the east sidewalk
so as not to obstruct the line of traf-
fic. The abundance of snow recently
makes it necessary to preserve all pos
sible space for parking along the main
thoroughfare.

PINE TREES

God planted pines upon a hill
When evening gathered blue and still.
He placed them dark against the rise
With strong arms lifted to the skies,
And flung cloak of dusky green
About their shoulders grave, serene
Then gave them rhythmic voice to sing
Strange songs in muted Whispering
Today upon a dusk-blOwn hill,
When evening gathered blue and still,
heard in quivering emerald trees
His low voice chanting sympf Onies.

Speaking of fragrance, have you
never noticed that some vegetables
have pleasant fragrance all their
own; and we don't mean onions,
either?
Do you cherish the lovely, blooming
pot plants which you receive as Christ
mas gifts or do they go out with the
Night when the evergreen wreaths
and garlands are burned?
These plants come to us forced by
the grower into December bloom.
They are beautiful when they arrive,
but the hot dry atmosphere of the
house is hard on them after the
humidity of a greenhouse; and every
one is so busy during the holidays
that plants often suffer from neglect
overwhelming at one time perhaps
and drOuth at another.
1t is not hard to keep many of these
Christmas plants thriving for weeks
after the holiday season; and when
their natural rest period arrives, with
little care their lives can be saved
so that they may be enjoyed for years

When the leaves begin to drop from
