There was lavender flower grow
ing in banks in the coulees. These
looked lovely, but smelled terrible,
and brought loud protests from the
family when brought home in
bouquets.
Globe mallows, which I then
thought of as wild peoples, for they
had a poppy-like orange-red color
and poppy-like odor, grew in the
driest of spots. They were about a
half-inch in diameter.
Blue-eyed grass, pincushion cactus
with glowing rose-red flowers, and
many others embroidered the coulees
and the slopes of the prairie in sum-
mer. I have heard a botanist say
that in a walk of about a mile, on
prairie land, he found between so
and 70 different kinds of plants. This
I can readily believe.
Lupine, which I believe is con-
sidered poisonous, often went into
our bouquets. And, after seeing a

at home and at school. Possibly there
were also other bad plants, but to us
they were all flowers"
Latest flower was the aster, which
I have seen blooming in November,
after killing frosts. There is some
thing inspiring in the hardness of
this graceful flower.
On the prairie, the wildflower
growing season spread from April,
and occasionally March, till Novem-
Der, in some instances.
BY contrast, in some of the higher
mountain valleys where the season
is very short, all the wild flowers
seem to come into bloom almost the
same time. Probably they have to
hustle in order to get to bloom at all
before frost. 1t is rather surprising to
see buttercups, bluebells, beargrass,
columbine, sego lilies, Indian paint
brush, shooting stars, yellowbells,
wild pinks, bitterroot lady's slippers,
wild roses, and many others bloom
ing very nearly at the same time,
since summer where they are lasts
only a very brief while. However,
they surely make good use of their
time, in which I think maybe we
could well follow their example.
There is considerable variation in
the kinds of flowers in this great
state of ours, and yet most of the
flowers seem the same. Wild roses
seem to grow all over the state. Like
wise, violets, buttercups, asters, gold
enrod and sunflowers are practically
anywhere.
There are rules prohibiting the
| picking of wildflowers in many
| places. Yellowstone Park is one Of
| these. At no time should we pull
wildflowers out by the roots. MOI

Polish seamen seeking haven
here.
They seized control of the 200
ton trawler Puszczyk in the
North Sea Wednesday night and
sailed it into the Yorkshire port

ing an alleged political officer" "

Stevenson Assais
'Expedienf' Policy
|0f Republican Party
sy ne Assoeidssd Press

EVANSTON, H., Sept. u.s.
Adlai E. Stevenson says that
"expediency is the policy Of the
Republican Party" and ''the
Nation can't be saved" by elec-
tion OF another G. p. Congress.
In an address urging re-
election Of Senator Douglas,
Democrat, Of Illinois Mr.. Steven
son said last night 1t Is ironical
that President Eisenhower is
pleading for election Of q Re
publican Congress in November.
In effect. the 1852 Democratic
presidential nominee contended,
the President is saying "give me
a Republican Congress to do
what we couldn't do with q Re-
publican Congress"
Mr.. Stevenson declared that
the Republican-controlled SD
Congress stood for disorder,
incompetence and impotence"
Speaking to more than 2,500
Democrats at the Evanston High
School, he said the Republicans
attitude toward Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wiscon-
sin, is an example Of their "in-
consistency"
This attitude, he added, els
based on the results Of the latest
Gallup poll. If the percentage
(favoring Senator Mccarthy is
up, Mccarthy is put up to speak
of 20 years of treason; If the
percentage is down. he Is put on
the shelf"
Mr.. Stevenson said that, while
the Republicans promised in 1852
to balance the budget, the 83d
Congress left a deficit Of $4.6
billion, adding:
I'VE seem to suffer from q
perishable surplus Of Republican
promises of 1882"
The former Illinois Governor
will be principal speaker, in
Minneapolis tonight at q Minne-
sofa Democratic = Farmer = Labor

expecting 10000 persons at the

Waiting Policeman
Kills Two Bandits
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH. Sept. 25.-A
Negro policeman who waited five
days at an, often-robbed gasoline
service station shot two bandits
to death early today with a AS
caliber sub-machine gun.
Patrolman Oliver Mason fired
two fatal blasts from the weapon
as the two youths-both white
cowed a station attendant with
a gun and scooped up $4.85 from
the cash register.
The dead men are Victor Vi
valdi, %, and Donald Anthony.
20, both of Pittsburgh. Both
died in a hospital within an hour
of the shooting.
Patrolman Mason had been
assigned to guard the service
station of William F. Schauer
last Tuesday. He kept a nightly
watch since, hiding in an auto
parked in back of the building.
MIR. Schauer said his station
has been held up or robbed four
times in the last two months.
He added:
1T was common sense to ex-
pect some one else to try it after
the publicity made 1t look so
easy"
Mr.. Schauer, a former State
policeman and one-time crime
reporter for the Pittsburgh Sum-
Telegraph, also is police chief in
the nearby borough Of White
Hall. He was not at the scene.

Soviets Quit Joint Firms
Guiding Romanian Output
BY the Assoeiuted Press

MOSCOW, Sept. 25.-A joint
Soviet -Romanian communique
today announced Soviet with
drawal from IL companies cover
ing the major fields Of Roman
ian production.
The communique. published
by the Soviet Communist Party
newspaper Pravda, said the
agreement for dissolution Of the
so-called mixed Soviet Roman
ian companies" was completed
in Moscow September 18. Pre-
liminary agreement had been
reached last March 81.
This was the first dissolution
of such mixed companies. The
development appeared to pre-
sage new relationships between
the Soviet Union and its allies
in the Balkan and Eastern Eu-
ropean area.
Among the resources affected
were the oil facilities at Ploesti
and other areas which were op-
Grated before World War II by
Americas Standard Oil Co. The
IL companies exploited most
branches Of the Romanian
economy.
Pravda said the Soviet Union
would be reimbursed by Ro-
mania for her investment Of
skill, personnel and equipment.
Payments would be made in in
stallments over a period of sew
eral years, presumably in cur
rency.
