the States. The bits Of bomb were
picked up by her majesty herself,
a situation which hardly could have
been anticipated during the gay visit
which their majesties made in this
country nearly two years ago.
The hostess had much to say Of
the women in England and their
part in the fight for the existence
of their democracy. She particular
ly stressed the wonderful work Of
the women, not only Of London, but
in the countryside, in the evacua-
ton of children. AS she said, "It is
not easy to have three or four
strange children handed to you to
house and care for. But they've
done it, cheerfully, happily and very
we'll" The Ambassador also had a
word: The spirit in England today
seems to be one of fellowship, to
help one another whoever the other
one may be-"
The party was postponed from
Tuesday, February IL, because of
the illness of the hostess, who had
a sudden attack of influenza and
who made a remarkably quick re-
covery, although she showed signs
of her very recent illness.
Spring flowers were everywhere
in evidence and put to shame the
cold wind which blew without. Low
bowls of freesia, white and yellow,
with long, graceful sprays of forsy-
thia were in the center Of the tea
table and on tables in the drawing
room were low bowls Of palest pink
carnations with taller vases of vari-
colored snapdragons.

and costumed by Norman Bel Ged-
DIES, of New York Worlds Fair
Futurama fame, in which 1000 peo-
pie and animals take part.
"Old King Cole and Mother
Goose" cost $4,000, and is the
grandest of all Big Show pageants;
hence it is spotted on the program
to follow Alfred Courts three great
mixed groups of performing wild
animals, so that late corners won't

does not consider a technical back
ground necessary to raise trees that
will load themselves each year with
delicious fruit.
His nursery is based on the idea
that this is potentially wonderful
fruit and berry producing area and
that by Offering the best available
stock, along with helpful informa-
ton to those inexperienced in this
line, he can do much to aid in
boosting the cash income of farm
ers, ranchers, and even home own
ers who have a small plot of land.
1--WE have a ready market in Arr
iona for all the fruit we can raise"
Steensen explains. Everything eX-
cept citrus fruits is now trucked into
the state from long distances, often
as far as the Pacific Northwest.
Steensen has grown all varieties
of truck farming products at his
nursery, securing remarkably high
production and quality. This year
he specialized on corn which grew
high, thick and heavy. MANY
stalks had as many as four ears of
good corn on Them" he said.
While irrigation is necessary in
most parts OF the county for trees
and crops, Steensen says that
good flow of water is found at a
depth of only about 20 feet in his
section and that water may be To-
Gated at fairly shallow depth in
many areas. His own place is irri-
gated by spring water, but in drill
ing new we'll recently he found
water at 18 feet.
The nursery is, of course, not de-
voted strictly to fruit trees. Steen-
sen carries all ordinary types of
shade trees which include Chinese

TREE OFFERINGS


Among his more unusual tree Of
feringS are the eucalyptus and
dWarfed palm. These and other
rarer types he keeps in containers
Of earth so they can be transplanted
at any time. Steensen has wide
variety of shrubs which include sour
orange, Chinese Christmas berry,
pomegranates that will bear fruit,
and Texas Ranger, sort of gray,
frosty-looking specimen that looks
more artificial than real.
The nurseryman says he will keep
a full line of potted plants this
winter for ladies who like to have
their homes frightened during the
cold months with growing flowers.
He has fairly large assortment of
these plants in his greenhouse but
expects to have many more next
month when the season ON these
goods gets under way. One of the
plants he is looking forward to
showing is the African primrose.
FLOWER SHOP
The latest addition to the No
gales Nursery is the Flower
Shop which opened last Sunday.
This new line of cut flowers is
Steensen's pet enthusiasm and
he is most anxious to wean the
local buying public away from
the impression that cut flowers
always cost a lot of money.
eve can prepare an attractive
bouquet for as little as 50c,' he de-
clares. cat the same time, if the
customer wants mere expensive
flowers we can make up bouquets
that cost anywhere up to $1,000"
The Flower Shop can provide
suitable flowers for every occasion
at any time of the year. The big
advantage Steensen stresses about
buying cut flowers locally is that
they reach their destination in per-
feet condition while still fresh from
the plants and will last a long time
before beginning to wilt.
