| planting a flower garden. !
can't think of anything in the
world that can bring more
honest enjoyment than ten
cents worth of flower seeds.
There are so many new variet-
les on the market every spring
that gardening is an adventure.
Just daydreaming about it
makes the icy winter months
slip by a little faster I am no
house plant enthusiast, but for
those who are, I think growing
cacti would be a very fascinat-
ing hobby. A woman I know has
a cactus room with many var
ietieS and it is beautiful. Do you
know that the plant grows wild
only in America, with the ex-
ception of one species in Africa?
There are over thirteen hundred
species in the great cactus fam
lily.
While I was picking up the
scattered pieces of gaily colored
paper, bright ribbons and seals
after my children had opened
their Christmas gifts, I thought
of what food bought with the
money spent on those gifts
might mean to a starving child
in Europe or Asia. / certainly
didn't begrudge my children
their gifts, but I did wonder
how I would feel If they were
starving Surely none of us
realize what that would mean.
We, who are fortunate enough
to live in America, give far too
little thought to such problems
as cold and hunger and lack,
so great that life is almost
worthless. We feel so sure that
a thing like that can't happen
here that we become compla-
Gently comfortable, with our
eyes and ears and hearts closed
against the cries of starving
children. Everyone isn't compla-
cent and deaf to the cries of
starving people but far too
many Of us are, though we
would be ashamed to admit it.
A very happy and prosperous
New Year to all of you.

Everglades Emerging
From Flood Waters

BELLE GLADE, Fla, Sept. 25.-
The flood was ebbing on farm lands
throughout the Everglades today.
As the wide expanse began emerg-

and West Palm Beach on the east
to Clewiston on the west disclosed
that the actual extent Of the hurri-

The danger of floods still exist,
but from all points the reports were

Clewiston was still shaking OF the
