will be found, if he is so fortunate as
to possess one, in the rock garden,
where this class of April l-fowering
irises is well adapted. The flower
stalks rarely attain a height Of more
than 8 inches and some varieties are
not more than 3. One of their noted
characteristics is their ability to with
stand droughts. They are very useful
to utilize as loW-growing border for
other plants.
A few Of the more favored varieties,
with their heights in inches in paren-
thesis, follow:
Albatree t5); creamy white.
Armee d'Orient 80; standards and
falls yellow, edged violet.
Commandant Driant (6): standards
pale buff, falls blackish-purple; sweet
scented.
Comtesse De Hautville (6); smoky
heliotrope, suffused red.
Orange Queen (6); one of the best
yelloWs.
Pegasus 90; a blue-purple bicolor
Standard 80; standards deep violet
purple; falls rich pansy-purple; pro-
fuse bloomer.

THE most interesting phase in the
growing of ornamentals is the
varying opinion concerning the merits
of a particular specimen. You will
find this situation in any group Of iris
lovers. Some find the coloring of the
bloom to be too harsh, or too faded.
while at the same time expressing ad-
miration for the growth of the plant
and the branching qualities of the
bloom stalk. Others discard plant
growth qualities and highly rate the
coloring of the bloom. This tendency
Of divided opinion certainly adds zest
to the growing and propagation Of
better irises.
1t is with the thought contained
in the above paragraph that the fore
going brief list of dwarf irises is
given. They are merely the personal
selection of the writer; the reader
may see them and, for reasons of his
own. discard them In further dis
cussion of the Intermediates and the
late irlses the same condition should
hold true.
From the dwarfs We look forward
to the intermediates. or, as they are
termed, the May-fowering. These
should in our locality put out blooms
somewhat toward the middle of Nav
The most striking of these-that is
where mass planting for color effect
is desirable-is Crimson King, the
standards and falls being a rich deer

growth open and the stalk rises Il

Mexican youth arrested by imml-

tioning regarding his citizenship
He was found on the freight train

u ,e unidentified man and was ques-

Raney said officers did not be-
lieve his story of the dead mans
identity. He is held in the county
Jail pending further questioning.
Letters scattered near the rail-
way at the scene of the accide:@t

victim, Raney said, or may have
been left there by someone else.
They are addressed to Mr.. Eddie

The accident occurred 20 miles

Handicapped by a small staff,
Andrews and his aides worked late
last night preparing the last of
series of important rulings. They
planned to work tonight and all
day Sunday to prepare for enforce
ment work and to supply informa-
ton to industrialists and workers
Two rulingS-one to inform en-
ployers the type of records needed
to show compliance with the law,
and another, setting up regulations
for seasonal industries to apply for
partial exemptions from the hours
provisions-Were anticipated today.
Andrews pointedly warned en-
ployers not to attempt to reduce
hourly wage rates in excess of 25
cents an hour because "it is not
safe to assume that a section of an
act of congress is meaningless. 4"
Many persons had pointed out that
section 18 which declares that "no
provision of this act shall justify
any employer in reducing a wage
paid by him which is in excess OF
the applicable minimum wage UNI
der this act" is not supported by
specified enforcement section.
He explained, however, that
firm now paying employees on an
hourly wage rate for 48 hours work
per week will not have to pay the
same total weekly wage for Al
hours work per week.
Congress intended to make it
economically Instantaneous for
an employer to work his employe
excessive hours" he said. "If an
employer eliminates the excessive
hours, he is under no statutory
obligation to increase his total wage
bill by increasing the hourly rate"

offered to pay Griffin for the pig
but Griffin felt British honor had
been smudged and demanded the
Americans arrest by Hudson's Bay
officers.
Cutler took up his rifle and dared
the British to arrest him. The Eng
lishmen decided against bloodshed
and sent to Victoria, B. c., for a
judge to punish Cutler for Staying
the pig. The judge arrived on the
British man-o'-war Satellite in July
1859.
AS the judge attempted to land,
the commander of the handful of
American soldiers on the island,
Capt George E. Pickett, proclaim
ed the Archipelago under the juris-
diction of the United States. At this
the judge went home without hav-
ing the British arrest Cutler.
On Aug. 3 three British warships,
the Satellite, Tribune, and Plumper,
appeared off the island. Their COM
manders threatened to blast away
at the American soldiers camp un-
less they left the island occupied
by the British alone.
Pickett replied defiantly that he
would not leave until ordered to do
so by his own government. Finally,
the British and United States gov
ernments appointed commissions to
negotiate settlement of the con-
troversy. The commissions decided
to submit the dispute to Emperor
Wilhelm I. He awarded the islands
to the United States.

FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash, Oct.
%. CUP)-San Juan island residents
tomorrow commemorate the arbi-
irrational settlement Of dispute
caused by a pig that nearly resulted
in war between Great Britain and
the United States, over a group OF
islands called the San Juan Archi-
pelago.
The principal participant in the
ceremonies will be George E. Pick
EFT, a grandson of the civil war
general who in 1859 discouraged the
commanders of three British war
ships from firing on small force
of American soldiers garriSoned on
San Juan island, biggest in the
Archipelago involved in the dis
pute.
The story of the "pig war is
not generally known. The argu-
ment over the islands, which lie
between CanadaS Vancouver island
and the northwest coast Of Wash
ington. was settled Oct. %, 1872,
by arbitration by Germany's Emper-
or Wilhelm 1.
In the early 1850's, both American
and British settlers occupied the
islands. Relations were friendly
enough until 1859, when a pig own
ed by a British farmer, c. j. Grif-
fin, waddled into the garden of an
American, Lyman A. Cutler, and ate
some potatoes.
1t wasn't the first time the pig
had invaded the garden so Cutler
