There were approximately 800 resi lience erectcil in Aledfonl (luring JUlO rrnoticnlly all of Ihesc homos are oc cupied, most of them by owners. They are now confronted with the problem of how to make tho propel ly adjacent to each house attrictive. In many eus. the lots were graded and lawns prcpnred last wnxuu. which this year will present a nntiffnelory nppenrance. Tho second season, how ever, dictates that some study shall be given landscnpe gardenia?, if the best possible "homo beau' if til'-' ef fects are to bo secured. In the matter of !nnils"iie garden ing nature has been mote generous uen-ror.s many other district ln-o.ijjunit the country. Wiinn, wot winter irid early springs allow the cultivation to )erfeelion of many beautiful shrubs and flowers, too delicate to withstand the hardly winters of the cast. No matter how small or unpreten tious a home, its appearance can be made infinitely more attractive if tho ground around it is well cared foi It mutters not the size or extent of a yard; none is too small that a well chosen vine or shrub or a flower bed will not improve it. And of counr the larger the yard, the more oppor tunities exist for the landscape artist Hut in any event the cost of such itn to Mcdford and Its environs than fn1 provemcnl if made with taste is in- MISSION TO JAPAN LONDON, March 18 Supporting its declarations that tho United States is mobilizing its troops ns a warning to Mexico' against too close relations with Japan, the Loudon Ivx jiresstodaj cpiotes a paragraph from "tlio'Tokio Times of Kebruary Uo. It reads : ' ' 'According to a telegram rocoived yesterday, Mexico has postponed the departure of her special envoy to Japan until September." The Express contendf. that the ob ject of this Mexican mission to Jap an was one of the things that caused apprehension fn the United States and led to the massing of army and niivnl forces practically on the Mexi can border.

Secretary of War Dickinson and Gen erals Wood, Allen. Murray and Wea ver witnessed tho experiment. significant in comparison with tho ic sults. Jt is to the rose that each Mcd ford householder must do homage in acknowledging tho most attractive landscape feature. While roses bloom to perfection there are other plants which make 1 satisfactory lawn decorations. Among the flowering shrubs most coniiaoni.v used here lire the azalea, batberrv. flowering" eiirrants, dogwood,- gobbm bell, hydrangea, lilus, snowball and SpilCil. Another form of home embellish ment than adds grace and charm U the appearance of n home is the vine or crecpV'r. ' It covers porches and pergola, giving shado and comfort and putting forth perfumed flower Several varieties of ivy, clematis honeysuckle and wistaria, are to he had for this purpose. Hut the ser vice of the vine and creeper ends not with the home. Churches, depots, factories nud all brick nnd stone edi fices, no matter how old or how ugly can be transformed into things of beauty by a few vines.

In vitntions are being sent out to nil women's organizations in California to aid in the fight to have a costi tutional amendment adopted which will give votes for women. ford make the hedge an especially desirable form of home decoration. The garden craftsman, it is said, if be "be a true artist, will let nature make his fences for him. A neat, well groomed pledge of roses, holly, English Imwthorne, Privet, Japanese quince, English laui'cl or Oregon grape will serVc both a useful and ornamental purpose. From u utilitar ian standpoint the presence of the hedge, is justified' by the -exclusion it gives, its service lis a wind shield, etc. Hut ils- beidtty precludes the necessitv of any .practical purpose whatever. The .shape nf the hedge l important, tho round-top or conical, being best as a rule; ns trimming in this way the growth of the lower branches is favored, keeping the wall of green solid and even from top to bottom. A flat top hedge holds the snow which might spread and break the branches', and the straight sided nnd flat top hedges are more apt to become ragged and open at the base than those trained in coical or rounded form, narrowing to .i pointed top. For medium six formal hedge the Privet is probably the most satisfac tory; a good grower, responds read ily to the prnning knife; is practical ly an evergreen with us, perfectly hardly aud most economical in cot. English laurel, Japanese quince and Lawson's cypress arc also fine for formal sheared hedges. For the high bodge, Norway spruce, Law-son cyp ress and the hemlocks arc all de sirable, the Norway spruce especially as it is sturdy fast growing and handsome. For the untrimmed hedges, those allowed to grow naturally with little or no pruning, nnd which are now u favorite means of enclosing flower and vegetable gardens, edging ter races and defining walks, nearly any free growing shrub enn be ued, such ns spiren, barberry, English holly, Oregon grnpe, roses, etc. Peonies, lilies and Japanese ins are other plants suitable for yard de coration, while sweet peas, nastur tiums, and many other flower enn be recruited for the flower garden. For the large lawn many varieties of ever greens and ornamental t-ees uro available. Wild West Show and Broncho Busting Contest Baupal Sunday March 19th PRIZES -For best rider and best bucking horse.
