The visitor to the Lindens has a rare
opportunity to see how the early Amer

Mrs. Morris has the candle molds
which belonged to her great-great-
grandmother and the stick which was
used to pull the candles from the mold
when they had hardened. She ex-
planned that it was h stick similar to
the one which Jack jumped over in

into thing of beauty by the people
of Shelburne Falls, Mass, because a
disabled man who loved flowers got
the idea that it could be made lovely.
It is one of the notable scenic features
of the famous Mohawk Trail.
When the electric car line through
Shelburne Falls was torn up because
it didn't pay, the bridge, nearly 500
feet long, across the Deerfield river,
was left standing
eve can make it a beautiful gar
den," said the man who loved flow
ers. He won the community to his
idea and local woman's club under
took to promote it. Teas, lectures,
benefit movies, bridge parties, sales
and varied forms of entertainment
were given to raise money to put the
bridge in order and provide fortified
soil for planting and trees, roots and
seeds, and caretaker.
Hundreds of tulips flaunt their
bold beauty in early spring. With the
advancing seasons there is an ever
changing panorama of color until the
keen frosts of a New England Novem-
Der dim the glory of purple asters
and golden calendula Wistaria vines
with their delicate fringe-like leaves
and exquisite clusters of blossoms in
season drape the supports of the cleo
trio lighting system.
The effect of this successful gar
dening project is evidenced in nearly
every home in the community, for it
has given inspiration for attractive
lawns, shrubbery, garden effects and
an active garden club that holds a
flower show each year.

Magical Results from Soil Contact.

Contact with the soil really does
seem to have magical results.
1t is my belief that it is good for
children to run barefoot on the soil,
providing precaution has been made
against nails and broken glass.
1t is good to work in the soil with
the hands, though there are people
who do not like to do so. The feel
ing of the soil puts new life into us
in the spring, and gives us the urge
to work in it and to put it to work.
Clean, warm sand is recommended
in which children can play, especially
the invalid child. An old doctor once
recommended a sand-pile for a child
who had recently had infantile paral-
ysis. This was over forty years ago,
and the advice still holds good.
When very tired and weary, who
has not felt refreshed after lying down
upon Mother Earth for a short respite
on summer day?
Did not the giant in the old fable
rise stronger from each contact with
the earth, as he was hurled back
upon it?
And does not Mother Earth well
come us all in the end to rest in her
ample bosom?

APRIL

April said she would;
Then she said she wouldn't.
Vowed she would be good,
Then declared she couldn't.
Blushed a rosy hue,
Dropped a tear behind it;
Hid a violet blue,
And sent the sun to find it.
April said she'd mend,
Then decided not to,
Promised smiles to send,
Afterwards forgot to.
Tickle little thing,
Who can then believe her?
Though she laugh and sing,
She's gay deceiver.
But a whisper sweet,
One can't help but love her.
Grass beneath her feet;
Blue, blue skies above her.
Though she often chides;
Make a VOW, to mock it
Well, we know she hides
Spring within her pocket.

House plants whose leaves begin to
turn yellowish are hungry or thirsty
or both. Once a month give them
liquid manure. To make this in a
lean way, put peck of well decayed
stable manure or half as much pull
verified sheep, cow or horse manure
in closely woven burlap bag, hang
it just below the surface of water in
a barrel full of water and let it steep
for one or more days. Draw off the
clear liquid through a spigot placed
a few inches above the bottom of the
barrel, and dilute with water until
it looks like weak tea. To soak the
soil with it, stand the flower pots,
rim deep, in the dilute liquid until the
surface becomes moist. Then let them
drain before putting them in place.
Once month is often enough for
this treatment.

course, that the greater the hazard,

Minnesota's Farmer-Laborites were
ready last week when the President
announced his program for aiding
business, industry and the unem-
ployed through revival and continu-
ance of the Public Works Admins
tration. The same day the Presidents
suggestions were made public, Con-

apolis, introduced bill providing
81 ,250, 100000 to continue PWA for
the next two years.
Wages and hours legislation again
is before Congress in bill formulated
by the House subcommittee on
Labor. 1t is redraft of various other
bills drafted for the same purpose
and sets up the 40-40 policy-40 cents
an hour and 40 hours a week-but
would not make increases mandatory
Immediately Instead, when wages
are below the standard, they would
be increased gradually, at the rate
of five cents an hour over the
weighted average" which would be
the average paid all workers in a
given industry. There has been little
enthusiasm for the bill so far but
the principle of providing a floor
under wages and ceiling over the
hourly working week is likely to
survive until feasible piece of leg
islation is enacted.
President Roosevelt yesterday con-
ferred with the delegation of mayors,
headed by Mr.. LaGuardia of New
York, on the relief situation. The
city executives urged upon him the
necessity for additional federal aid
for unemployed during the next fis-

conferred with President Pelley of the
Association of American Railroads re-
garding the rail financial problem.
It is understood that the Chief EXecu-
tive expressed opposition to any Fed
eral guarantee of railroad payments.
The Senate working on the tax bill
yesterday adopted an amendment
which will provide for the imposition
of severe penalties against persons
found guilty of transporting liquor

Wood ashes and lime must never
be mixed with any kind of manure,
because chemical action at once takes
place and the nitrogen, the most ex-
pensive of manurial substances, will
be wasted in the form of ammonia.
Apply the manure first to the land,
pillow or dig it into the soil, then add
the lime or the ashes or both. The
ammonia given off under such condi-
tons is seized by the soil before it
can escape into the air and the plants
will get the benefit of it.
