Planting Bulbs.

Late bulb paintings. Many popular
summer Towering bulbs will do we'll
if planted this month. For a con-
tinuous display of gladiolus, plant
at intervals of about two weeks.
Dahlia tubers planted in June often
do much better than those put out
in May. They're not as likely to be
set back from hot summer weather
which hardens the stems and has an
adverse effect upon the formation of
flowers.
Montbretias are splendid summer
Towering bulbs. They like a we'll
drained, deeply prepared soil rich
in humus and plant food. Tirgridiss,
too, are to be planted now.
They will give many fine blooms
from midsummer until frost. Zephy-
ranthes, popularity known as Rain
Lilies will come up at remarkable
speed to give an outburst of flowers
after every prolonged warm shower.
Peruvian daffodil is another splen-
did bulb for June planting. Give
it rich well-drained soil and do not
let it suffer from lack of moisture.

ASKOV
Rose Specialist Here.

R. F. Wilcox and son Richard, and
a Mr.. Harris of the Twin Cities
were in Askov Tuesday when the
former, who is rose specialist, spoke
at the Garden club meeting at the
Chris. Frederiksen home.
Mr.. Wilcox is in charge of trial
rose gardens at Como Park and was
well posted on his topic. He discussed
the growing and care of roses, the
kinds most suitable for this locality,
and told of the new roses being tried
in the northwest.
He also extended an invitation to
the Askov Garden club and others
interested to come to Como Park
June 80 when the rose gardens are
to be dedicated.

BY The Garden Club Editor.

And what is so rare as day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then heaven tries earth if it be in
tune,
And over it softly her warm ear
lays;
Whether we look or whether we listen
We hear life murmur or see it
glisten.

Edging Plants.

When plants are used for edging
in either a formal or semi-formal
flower bed, they should be low
growing and kept neat in appearance
by shearing back.
Such edging plants frequently
grow so vigorously as to get out Of
bounds and then they need to be
clipped or sheared back to keep
them in compact, formal or semi
formal lines.
Certain plants used for borders
can be made to produce continuous
bloom by merely keeping them
sheared back. This removes the old
blooms before they can go to seed,
and the plants then keep sending out
new blooms. Among the plants which
can be converted to continuous
blooming by the simple method of
shearing are sweet alyssium, agera-
tum and the gray foliage plant, nepeta
mussini, which is a member of the
catnip family.

YOU MIGHTSUPPOSE, from the talk in some
quarters, that there is friction of some kind
between labor and management in the Ford
Motor Company. In ordinary times, of course,
we would ignore rumOrs of this kind altogether,
but these are not ordinary times. For that
reason, we want all Americans to know that
there is no labor trouble within the Ford Organi-
zatiOn.
Who's doing the agitating, then? 1t is not the
mass of Ford workers, who receive an average
annual wage that ranks with the highest in all
industry. It is not they or their families, who
know and appreciate the relative stability of
Ford jobs, uninterrupted by costly strikes. 1t is
not the businessmen of the community who
know Henry Ford has made high standard of
living for his employees his first consideration.
It is not the millions Of Ford car and truck
owners who know the quality and value that
have been built into their vehicles. No, it is not
any of these.
The false propaganda and agitation comes from
few outsiders 1t comes from organizers who
are not workers themselves, but who live off the
workers by collecting millions of dollars in dues
from men and women who ring factory time
clocks.
The great advantages and benefits Ford workers
enjoy did not come to them through any outside
organization. Ford workers did not have to
depend on outsiders to obtain for them high
wages long before industry had them; it wasn't
an outside agency that got them the 4O-hOur
week years before the short wOrk-week was
common in industry; it didn't take agitation to
bring thena-years ahead working conditions
both safer and more sanitary than those that
prevail generally in industry. All these things
were given them voluntarily by the Ford Motor
Company in the interests of good will and good
business. Future benefits will be given them for
Che same reason and in the same way, without
any Intervention from the outside

What's this about
"LABOR TROUBLE"
in Ford Plants?

We know that good work comes from paying
high wages to good men. That's why it is the
Ford policy to pay the highest possible wages
throughout the year. And the Ford workman
GETS his pay as he EARNS it. The Ford Motor
Company has paid it's workers more than
THREE BILLION SEVEN HUNDRED MIL
LION DOLLARS in wages during the 81 years
it has been in business and hundreds OF millions
of this was paid over and above the going rate
of pay for the same jobs elsewhere in the
industry.
Some people seem to have forgotten that Henry
Ford, at single stroke, more than doubled
existing wage rates for his wOrkmen back in
1914, and that ALL workers since have benefited
by his action.
FORD, by one act has done more for labor than
so years of agitation" The words are those OF
high official of great railroad Brotherhood.
Only last Spring the workers of America
endorsed these words once again. More than
70 per cent Of all the workers interviewed, in an
unbiased poll conducted by the nationally known
research staff of FORTUNE magazine said, that
they believed Henry Ford has done more than
any other man to improve their lot.
By fair dealing with labor and the public, the
Ford Motor Company has been able to build up
one of the most productive industries in the
world. It's facilities, its experience and its
workers, are preparing to make the fullest
possible contribution to the security of the
nation in these troubled times.
There is an immensely important job to be done,
Job that requires all the skill and strength and
ingenuity Of all of us. It would be the height
of folly if we were diverted from that job by
empty issues and bogus charges. There is no
labor trouble within the Ford organization.

f. n. A. Won't Require
Bomb Damage Repairs

The Federal Housing Admins
tration will not require properties
damaged by enemy bombs to be
repaired for acceptance in exchange
for mortgage insurance, Admins
traitor Abner H. Ferguson announced
today.
Many inquiries from lending in
stitutions operating under the F. H.
A. plan have been received as to
the attitude of the housing admin
istration toward properties damaged
by bombing.
Regulations OF the F. H. A. re-
quire, that under the contract OF
mortgage insurance, foreclosed
properties must be transferred from
the mortgage to the administrator
'undamaged by fire. earthquake,
flood, tornado or waste" before in
surance debentures are issued.
Damage caused by enemy bombs
does not come within the meaning
Of the term waste as used in the
regulations, and consequently the
F. H. A. would not require the re-
pair of such damage, unless 1t was
caused by fire, and then only to the
extent Of the fire damage" Mr..
Ferguson said.
In the case OF properties damaged
by fire. even though direct result
Of enemy action. 1t will be neces-
sary that the fire damage be re-
paired or an adjustment made in
lieu of the repair.

now that their day is crowded with

So Just as surely as you get your
self into a uniform and set aside
certain hours for the Red Cross
or whatever other duties you un-
dertake, be sure to pick out frilly
bed Jacket and set aside certain
hour each day for rest. And do not
let anything interfere with it.
Home from the office, get into a
warm tub and then into bed. On
the bedside table have your tea or
a glass of hot milk. Drink it and
curl up for an hour. There may
