STORIES
IN STAMPS
Bombing Planes Follow
Greek AirmoiI Route

ITALIAN airmen found a route
to the heart of Greece mapped
out for them in the 1888 Greek
airmail stamp above, but the
planes carried bombs, not mail.
The stamp also provides philate-
lists with a map of the war in the
east.
Although attack on Greece was
strategically important in the axis
war against Britain, Fascists saw
a chance to re-establish the en-
pire of 1853 B. c. when Roman civ
ilization spread over the Greek
peninsula.
War is not new for Athens.
Greek battled Greek on the Attic
plains. The Persians burned the
city in 480 B. c. Alexander lifted
Greece to its greatest glory in the
Hellenistic. age, but strife and in
ternal weakness after his death
opened the way for an easy Ro-
man conquest.
Greece became part Of the
Byzantine Empire after the fall
of Rome, and was conquered by
the Turks in 1853. From the
fourth century B. c. until 1921,
when Greece revolted against the
Turks, the Greeks were at no
time a free people.
British friendship dates from
that revolution in which Lord
Byron lost his life. England,
France and Russia interviewed,
forced the Turks to grant Greece
independence. During the World
War, Greece supported the allied
cause

Most OF us are pretty familiar with
dates like 1892 and 1915 and 1866,

give the significance of each?

Companion for IriSeS.

Perhaps here would be good
chance to give few suggestions as
to companion pieces in ANIMALS, per-
ennials and biennials that would give
contrast to the newer Irises. Colum-
bines and painted daisies act as ex-
cellent filters in the iris border, and
snapdragons and stocks contrast
pleasantly with irises both in the
garden and in bouquets.
With the yellows, try yellow COL
umbines and early daylilies for some
thing especially lovely. Pansies as
an edging around an iris border draw
attention, and pink and orchid irises
grouped with pink and white Pyre-
thrum are pleasing to the eye. The
combination of tall red tinted iris
with white iris, with masses of stocks
in front in white and wine-red was
another attention-getter. So, using
the many new colors in this versatile,
popular iris group, and with little
originality of our own, we should be
able to do lovely, colorful things to
our own gardens, and make them

Resolutions Passed
By 9th District FL.

At the 9Th Congressional district

worth bill pending passage before

ton of men for military purposes,
and

scription of wealth, and
Whereas, no provision has been
made for the CONSUMPTION of wealth
in the Burke-Wadsworth bill,
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
the Sixth District Farmer-Labor As
ISOLATION in meeting assembled this

State Truckers
Benefit By Free
Tariff Provision
Carriers Will Save Large
Sum by Action Abolish
ing Filing Fee.

Minnesota motor freight carriers
under Chapter ITO regulations will
benefit substantially from a new rul-
ing of the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse Commission abolishing a
tariff fee charge of Csc per copy, &C
cording to an announcement by Chas.
Mum, the Commission chairman.
Practice of the carriers in the past,
in a majority of cases, has been to
have tariffs made up and filed by
some bureau or agency specializing
in this field at cost of So or $40 for
the service. Where the carrier has
bought his own tariffs and filed them
with the Commission a fee of fifty
cents, or twenty-five cents each for
two copies, has been charged, the
carrier signing and filing one copy
with the Commission and retaining
the other copy for his guidance.
Effective September 1.
In adopting its "free tariff" reso-
luton, however, the Commission
found that economical management
of its Truck Permit division had made
possible the adjustment of this fee,
and ordered that after September /,
copies of Tariff No. will be issued
free to Chapter ITO carriers, and that
Tariff No. 6, to become effective
October 1, will also be available to
the carriers on and after this date
without charge.
In lieu of filing copy of the tar
ifs, the carriers will simply sign a
concurrence statement binding them
selves to abide by the freight rate
schedules prescribed in a master
Tariff" on file with the Commission.
Tariff No. 6 will deal particularly
with farm movables, such as the farm
machinery, livestock and other pos
sessions that farm tenant might
wish moved from one location to an
other.
With approximately $500 permit
holders or Chapter ITO carriers in
Minnesota, the saving on tariff filing
service fees formerly paid to private
agencies will probably exceed $25, 900
annually, Commissioner Mum be-
lieves.

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service

A film on diphtheria was shown at
the Pine county fair by Miss Virginia
karlson and literature was distri-
buted on diphtheria and smallpox to
parents. This film was shown at
Willow River in connection with the
show put on at the Community fair
Wednesday. 1t is hoped that more
parents will get the information on
these two diseases and have their
children immunized when the doc
tors do the work in the schools.
The east-central subcommittee
met at Cloverton Wednesday evening
of last week. There were Is women
present. Mrs. H. E. Johnson, presi-
dent of the county nursing board,
Mrs. E. B. Linsley, secretary, and Mrs.
Harold Olson of St. Paul were guests.
Mrs. Olson remarked that Pine coun-
ty was very fortunate to be able
to hold a nurse of Miss Karlson's
ability to carry the message of health
to these women who are located so
far from doctor, and they in turn
distribute the message and help those
who are in need. Mrs. Johnson gave
a short talk on how the work began
and how it is financed at the present
time.
Miss Karlson read her report and
discussed the diphtheria campaign,
which is to be done in the schools.
This group made supplies for OBJ
stetrical packs, two packs were given
out, to be used in home deliveries.
AS more requests had come in for
packs, we believe small charge will
be made to cover postage, as these
are sent to the Health Department
and sterilized.
The advisory board of the nurs-
ing service is to meet Wednesday,
September 4, at the schoolhouse in
Hinckley. These meetings are open
to the public and doctors, school
board members and interested peo-
pie are urged to come. There are
many health problems, and you may
be able to help us solve them.
The northeastern subcommittee
is to meet in Kerrick September 5.
1t is hoped that many women come.
Bring needle, thread and old sheets.
First aid will be studied and OBJ
stetrical packs worked on.

Safety Valve


When L suddenly find
I've an ak to grind
With the world and all that's in it
And I'm sick of life
With its grief and strife
And would leave it in a minute,
Then to ease my hurt
l dig in the dirt
And grapple with lusty weeds
And chop the sod with vengeful hoe
And grind a grub with a bitter heel
Into the dust
Because I must.
Can you guess how much better it
makes me feel?
Then 1 scatter seeds
Believing they'll grow.
I know they will grow; they've done
it before!
So my faith swings back
To the proven track
And 1 am my steady self once more.
For this intimate question I beg your
pardon,
But what do you use instead of a
garden?

Everlasting, or "straw-flowers," can
be spoiled in at least two popular
ways; namely, letting them get too
"ripe," and standing them upright.
The former assures their falling apart
when dry; the latter causes their
stems to bend and dry with crooked
necks. The right way to treat them
is to cut them just as the buds are
opening and to hang them heads
down in warm, dry, dark place such
as an attic, until they are dry.
The Cream of the New Irises.
AS August is Iris planting time,
let us look at some of the best of the
new varieties, as selected from Flow
er Grower.
The most striking of all, 1"Snow
FURRY" is heavily ruffled blue
white hybrid, which if it can be car
ried over into other colors is sure
to be sensation. Three outstanding
members of the yellow group are
Golden Spike" a deep soft yellow,
yellow Jewel" an all-around fine
yellow, and Golden Fleece" unique
combination of yellow, white and
gold.
We have striking improvements in
the so-called red class, "Red Clean"
being far superior in this group.
Slightly less red, but exceedingly
rich and handsome new flowers are
RED Valor" and Garden Flame
In the deep purple class, there is
Storm King" handsome new addi-
ton.
The newer color groups offer an
infinite variety, too, but Brown
Thrasher," a rich copper lustre color,
is striking. "Prairie Sunset" in the
yellow shades, is another unusually
lovely type. "Stardom," in Apricot
tones, and an odd, cream-toned Iris
with quite lot of soft golden buff
shading called "Old Parchment"
have attracted a lot of attention of
Iris lovers. "Glen Ellen"-in light
brown-is far from dull in the gar
den.
There are many others that deserve
mention, but the above are repre-
sentative of the most successful and
most unusual developments in new
colors, and within the next few years,
at least some of these should find
places in our home gardens.
