SONGS

SONGS
/ find so many songs to sing
l scarce know what to do,
Though 1 keep singing every hour
I'm never, never through.
Sometimes I think my songs are done,
And then some lovely thing
Puts music in my silly heart,
And l must sing and sing.
I sing of waving daffodils
And daisies white and sweet;
OF violets nodding in field
And clovers at my feet.
I sing of dancing leaves in fall
And yellow goldenrod,
And sometimes in the twilight blue
1 sing a song to God.

good loan, sand, and rotted leaf
mold in equal amounts. Partly filled
the pot, placed the bulb in it, and
continued filling with the mixture.

watered once week. Before long,
the stalk started up. When it was
eight inches tall, I carried the pot

which was cool but sunny. On March

were lovely on March 26.

For a bit of green on the kitchen
windowsill, pot up few plants of
parsley. This will come in handy
for garnishing later on.
Gladiolus bulbs when dug should
be allowed to cure for a few weeks
before storing. To help overcome the
thrips, store in paper bags with nap
thalene flakes. About one ounce for
every 100 corms is recommended.
Burn all gladiolus and dahlia tops,
as they harbor borerS and other pests.
Dig the dahlias; do not pull up by
the stems. Tubers with broken necks
will not grow. In dry cellar they
may be stored upside down. When
kept in furnace-heated basement,
it is best to pack in boxes with sand,
peatmoss or ashes. Dust with sui
phur, all varieties that do not come
through the winter very easily.
Soft leaves such as the maple,
should not be used to cover the gar
den, as they rot the plants beneath,
when packed. Leaves such as these
should be used on the compost pile.

of the big reasons why young wom-

Although the work relief appro- priation bill carrying funds not only for work relief but also for the Pub lie Works Administration projects was passed and approved some days ago. up to the end of the week no allotments had actually been made for any Alaska public works pro jects
 A considerable number of such projects, including Skagway munich pal improvements, Juneau library. Anchorage paving, Seward gymaGs- ium. Douglas school building, Skag- way school building, Fairbanks null icipal improvements, Territorial school buildings. Sitka sewer sys- tenn. University of Alaska dormitory, and possibly one other. have been heretofore approved by the examln- ing divisions of the P. ". A, and most if not all of them are eligible for allotments under the appropria- tion bill recently enacted.
 Nor have allotments been made for other projects in the United States, for it is understood that all such projects are being held up awaiting the formulation of some plan which will work fairly and for all parts of the country The appropriation made will not take care of all approved projects and therefore a large number of them
 d within the next two weeks the plan will be agreed upon and allotments made.
 In view of the language of the bill it seems almost certain that a grant. will be made to aid in the eon-| struction of a public school buildingI for the town of Douglas since lheI former school building at DouglasI was destroyed by fire last winter.
