TIPS to
Flowers for a Purpose

GARDENERS want flowers for
~ house bouquets, for beautifi-
cation of the yard, or both. To
be certain of an abundance of
flowers for cutting throughout the
growing months, however, the
gardener need plant packets OF
only three or four of the follow
ing flowers:
Annuals-snapdragon, aster, ca
lendula, calliopsis, candytuft, car
nation, bachelor button, cosmos,
dahlia, larkspur, annual lupin,
marigold, nasturtium, salpiglossis
and zinnia.
Observation-Disclosures, coreop-
sis, gaillardia grandifora, peren-
NAL lupin, pyrethrum (painted
daisy shasta daisy and delphini-
UNI.
For earliest bloom, the follow
ing are recommended by Gilbert
Bentley, flower expert: Calliopsis
and candytuft among the ANNALS,
and coreopsis, delphinium and
pyrethrum among the perennials.
For late-blooming cut flowers,
grow zinnia, marigold, gaillardia,
snapdragon, aster, cosmos and
dahlia.

Rise In Price =.
Seems Likely.
Although you can never tell about
these things, from the conversations
we've had with local buyers it looks
as though prices were definitely On
the way up. While We raise minks,
silver foxes. skunks and beavers in
this country, there are certain furs
which must be imported. And 1t
seems as though they all come from
countries engaged IN the unpleasant
pastime Of making war upon each
other. At any rate, importing is
very dimcult and greatly lessened,
and insurance rates on imports are
high indeed. So, while there are
furs In stock now 1T regular prices,
1t looks as though when this sup
ply Is gone the cost will be consider
ably more. This, however. you can
expect In all clothes. One dress
buyer, recently told US that N.she
reofdered q certain lace dress It
would cost about 8l5 more-imnort.

Saul is . born trader. AT the
ripe age Of II he makes business
Of It,. not too successfully from the
family's point of view. Last BIRTH
day he got q new bicycle for his
birthday under strict regulations
against trading. No, no; he wouldn't t
trade his bike. Not he. He wanted
that bike. Why should he trade It?
So he protested and won it.
For week he and the, bike were
inseparable. He rode 1t and pol
ished it alternately throughout the
day and at night took it to his
room. Actually he seems to want
to keep 1t. He hasn't traded 1t and
it's over week." said his mother.
But she spoke too soon. She
noted that the wheel was left under
the porch instead Of being taken
to the bedroom, and ut q convenient
time took look at it. Then she
went after Saul.
saul, where did you get those
handlebars? Those old rusty, bent
crooked things on your new pike7"
Jaw. Oh. All, I traded them Oh
for pair Of opera glasses"
You what? Show me those
glasses this minute" .-
Saul produced what once had been
. pair Of very ordinary glasses, but
which were now junk, unabashed
and literal junk.
you gave the handlebars OF your
bike for this stun? Who got them7
Sammy, eh. You take those bars
OF that machine. Don't argue. Do
1t. Bring them and that bit Of Junk
and come along with me. You're
going to get those handlebars back
and return this stun. o, yes you
are! And after that I'm putting
this bike In the attic, In storage,
until you get over being q fool for
the wise boys In the neighborhood.
Sadly, shamefacedly, Saul went
along with his raging mother. The
exchange was made, sulkily enough,
by the wiser, older lad, and the
bike went to storage. But next day
Ssul traded of his basket bail for
battered, empty radio shell. All
right" said his mother. s"Now
maybe you can play ball With that.
Listen. I am through replacing
anything you trade OF. I'm through
buying you anything whatever to
play with. Clothes you can have
to keep you covered, and I4l feed
and house you, but after that, moth
ing. You are In the trading busi-
ness. You'd better make it pay OF
you'n be the loser after this"
There seems to be no other cure
for such q practice. Let experience
teach wisdom. Don't replace what
Is lost by flee gift, trading and
carelessness. Children do not un-
derstand about money and prop
erty, and words do not teach them
much. Experience will do the job
thoroughly.
Trading between children should
be prohibited, of course. A couple
Of disciplinary experiences that were
