Song Service Enjoyed.

The local church was filled almost
to capacity Sunday evening when the
high school students, both. junior and
senior, under the direction of Roy c.
Christensen and the male chorus
under the direction of Mrs. Alfred L.
Nielsen, presented a very pleasing
song concert.
After the concert Rev. jobs. Knud-
sen expressed appropriate apprecia-
ton on behalf of the church, the
school and the community for the
well rendered program, and also
thanked every one who had taken
part or helped to make it possible.
The pleasant evening was termin-
ated with coffee and lunch in the
basement. The event was sponsored
by the local Parent-Teachers Associa-
ton.

Facts About Christmas Trees.

AS the season of Christmas ap-
proaches, it is interesting to con-
slider the varieties or species of trees
which are mostly used for Christ
mas decoration, as well as to dis
cuss the beauty and suitability of
the different species.
Here in the vicinity of the office
of Gardening" in Northern New
York, the white spruce is most COM
mon, although many hemlocks are
used and there are also some bal
sam fir and a few Norway spruce.
But in other places it is probable
that the balsam fir is more common
and it is very desirable tree because
of its pleasing fragrance or odor.
However, the spruces are quicker
growing and cheaper in cost and are
used in many places.
While the red cedars and the pines
hold their foliage better when placed
in the farm air of our homes in
winter, they are not as satisfactory;
and pine, especially, is Objectionable

Plants AS Christmas Gifts.

All during the weeks before Christ
mas, we should be getting our small
plants ready for a gift to someone
who loves flowers, but has neither
time nor the skill to start small plants.
Slips of geranium, begonia, cacti,
trailing plants, oxalis and the like,
need starting few weeks ahead
of the time we wish to use them
as presents. When one has a great
many plants, there is always quite
an assortment from which to choose.
Small or surplus plants should be
ported up, fertilized and started in
sunny window.
If the problem of pots proves too

Keeping HOuseplants Moist.

Houseplants in ordinary unglazed
pots will do better if the potted plant
is set into larger pot with soil or
moss between. Perhaps better plan
is to set the pots in pans or some
sort of a shallow container, with a
small amount of water standing.
This will keep the pot itself from
drying out. When the pots dry out
it damages the roots of the plant;
and the plan of setting the pot in a
thin layer of water works out well
in some cases.
Old tin pals or cooking utensils
make good containers for growing
houseplants. Holes can be punched
in the bottom to allow for drainage
These containers can be painted or
covered with fancy paper. have
some very huge and beautiful coleus
plants grown in pals.

on account of the sticky gum. The
hemlock drops its needles in a very
few days after being placed in a
warm room.
The New York State College of
Agriculture reports that tests have
been made which show that Christ
mas trees, if dug with some root sys-
tenn and placed in tub or bucket
of moist soil or peatmoss, will hold
their needles much longer indoors
than when simply cut and trans
ported to the place of SALE
1t is possible, when small trees
are thus used, mostly as a scheme of
decoration, that they can be dug with
a ball of earth around the roots, and
bought from nurserymen in tins or
tubs. If in good condition after their
period of service indoors as Christmas
trees, they can be kept in a cool
place, carefully watered, and later
planted in the garden
While this plan has been heavily
advertised, it is quite probable that
very large proportion of such trees
never survive when planted outside.
1t is only with the greatest of care
that this is possible. The tree being
dormant, taking it inside at the wrong
time of year is inclined to start the
sap; and then if planted outside in
cold weather, it may receive a shock
from which it does not recover

The dry air in the home, often kills
tender plants. Place pans full of
water on or behind radiators, or use
humidifiers Plants may also be set
on trays that are partly filled with
moist pebbles.
A cold draught is also hard on
most plants. On cold nights plants
should be protected by putting news
papers against the windows.
Geraniums should be placed in
sunny windows or they will not
bloom. The temperature should be
between 70 and rs degrees. Remem-
Der that small plants give best re-
suits, and do not overwater plants
Scrub the leaves of foliage plants
with a mild soap solution. This ap-
plies especially to palms, rubber
plants, etc. Also clean the pots OF
green algae.
The Jerusalem cherry will keep
better if provided with plenty of
water. The slightest trace of gas in
the room will cause the leaves to
drop. Poinsettia plants thrive best
where temperature does not exceed
70 degrees. Remember to keep plants
from getting chilled, and do not al
low the plants to become dry.

Dish Gardens and Pan Gardens a
Christmas Projects.

In my house at present I have two
dish gardens and two pan gardens
Anybody can make them. They are
wonderful gifts for people who love
to garden in a small way and they
are more wonderful to those people
who would like to garden, but who
cannot do gardening for a variety
of reasons. All you need for such
gifts are inexpensive but colorful
dishes, roasting pan, and earth
peatmoss, and stones; and then the
things you plant in them.
One dish garden is a mystery gar
den. 1t is clump of earth which
I dug up in the woods and set out
in my dish. There are surprises all
the time, for the earth has secrets
that I did not know were there. z
Another dish garden came from
the florists shop. It is water gar
den with pebbles and moss. My pan
gardens are grapefruit seedlings
moses and lichens. You could use
tiny cactus plants.
Did you ever plant your grape
fruit seeds? You can have grape
fruit forest if you wish; or you can
transplant them into little spots and
set them into a roasting pan with
pretty stones filling up the spaces,
and moses filling the chinks left
by the stones. Such a garden is a
thing of hearty and very UNIQUE
I am studying lichens and I have
several different kinds. Lichen col
lecting is great fun. e
A ily-of-the-valley dish garden is
a joy! You can buy them all ready
in peatmoss.

Among the tender roots with skill
No surgeon ever living knew.

Had vested in the sod
A queer figure among the plants,
In frayed coat and muddy pants,
But there was beauty in his face

Her version, simply done
AS any mother might have told
The story of her son.
How powerful the vivid lines
That Christ's disciples wrote!

Too trivial to quote?
I think she held them in her heart
Each priceless as a gem.

Center For Terp
Floor Team

Ben Allen, from the Pharmacy
School in Baltimore. will Jump
center for the University of Mary
land five when the Terps take on
Johns Hopkins in Ritchie Coliseum
at College Park Wednesday night
at 8:15.
Allen, who won his letter last
year in a reserve role, is feet
1112 inches tall and scales 18O
pounds. Not being able to practice
with the squad regularly he is not
in 100 per cent trim and will share
the tap-off with Eddie johnson,
budding sophomore.
Gets Ball Off Board
Allen has worked it on several
occasions with the Terps during
the holidays and has the ability to
get the ball off the blackboard, an
asset that Coach Burton Shipley
badly needs in his team. He is
both taller and huskier than John
son.
Fred Thomas and Charlie Kel-
Ter, two veterans, will be at the
guard berths, with Waverly Wheel
er, another letter man, being
chosen to hold down one of the
forward jobs. The other forward
assignment lies between George
Knepley, a Soph, and AL Waters,
vet, with the former holding the
inside track.

dead. Whether or not a deal for
Roddie Hemsley can be made is
doubtful.
Lewis Due Pay Boost
Buddy Lewis, young third base
man of the Griffs is certain to be
rewarded. The kid came into the
big leagues on a comparatively
small salary, made good and is
now ready to move into the impor-
tant dough. Lewis grew taller
during the summer, and picked up
weight and power. There is every
reason to expect a marked i'm
provement in his play next year.
CSsie Bluege, the miracle man
OF the infields. deserves a break,
and probably will get one. He was
the best infielder in the game
last year as the figures show, and
without him the Griffs probably
would have finished sixth; maybe
fifth.
Ben Chapman may get nothing
better than a draw, but the Ala
oama warrior came here under his
Yankee contract, which is pretty
good, even for Chapman. But
there's one thing for the Washing
ton Baseball Club to bear in mind:
II Chapman had remained in New
York the probabilities are that
the Griffs would have remained
in the second division. And if
the Griffs had remained in the
first division, the financial report
for the season might have been
different.
Right now the chief consider
alton of Clark Griffith is the
pitching staff. He is angling about
to replace Earl Whitehill, the
veteran lefthander of the club,
who moved along to Cleveland in
trade. But pitchers are scarce.
1t would surprise no one if the
real replacement to Whitehill were
found in Ken Chase, the young
lefthander who flashed for a
while at Orlando last spring, and
then, for no apparent reason, lost
control and his place on the squad
within a few days.
Scores in Pinch
Chase was sent off to Chatta-
nooga for development and ex-
perience. For a while he sat on the
bench and grew wilder than a
breeze as he loafed. Finally, when
all the other pitchers developed
sore arms. Chase was called upon,
and he made good.
