"With the month two-thirds
ended, April building permits are
keeping up the March averago
despite the quiet week which has
Just ended. Up to Friday night
the week showed only seven per
mits for a total of 15.575. but
this brought the month's figure
to $72,630.
There are still some major
building projects likely to be In
cluded in the April permits, and
unless the unusually late storms
continue, the month promises to
exceed the March figure which
was the largest of the year so far.
The general run of residence per
mits will accomplish this even If
the big ones which are in pros
pect are not taken out this month.

Meeting the Borrower's
Circumstances
Many times mortgages fall due at an inopportune
moment when the borrower Is unable to meet it, and the
old terms are unsatisfactory, ...
In eases such as these, we often find It possible to
remore the old mortgage and put into effect a new one,
made on terms which more nearly meet the requirements
of the borrower and at lower interest rates.
Before renewing your old mortgage
., It will profit you to see us.

The influence of Spanish architecture is well carried out In this
two-story house. The arrangement of rooms is simple and compact
with accessibility to all parts. The arch fireplace with adjoining pa
tio, the sonny breakfast room with built-in serving table and cup
boards, are only two of the many outstanding features. Further in
formation may be obtained in a nicely Illustrated booklet obtainable
either at The Statesman or from the C. S. Hamilton Furniture store.

This is a feature which The
Statesman introduces into
its garden page this week.
1. Last year the size of my flow
ers were small. Is there any way
to Increase the size of them?
Ammonium of sulphate or ni
trate of soda dissolved at the rate
of one tablespoonful to the gal
lon of water should be used liber
ally on the roots of the plants a
week or so before they are ready
to bloom. This will increase the
size of blooms.
1. How could I get some quick
growing vines over my house? It
is only a rented house.
Annual vines should be used In
your case but keep away from the
cucumber and morning glory
vines as they will cause a great
deal of trouble at a later date.
The best annual vines to grow are
cypress vine, moonvine, cardinal
climber, cup-and-saucer vine and
hyacinth bean. A mixture of two
or more different vines some
times produces a very pleasing effect.

IS TASK OF SKILL
Building a rockery Is a little
more difficult for the average
home owner, but he may easily
plant out the rockery without as
sistance. Unless one has a large
degree of skill, it wouldn't be ad
visable to attempt building the
tjry alone; Howevet closely
Mlfvingf otht xockerieify feniall
degree of success may be assured.
In Jaying any of the numerous
types of walls and rockeries, the
same principal holds for each, in
that each rock placed should lean
slightly toward the bank. With
plenty of loose dirt, well packed
behind the wall, the rockery will
be sold. Whether or not the
binder Is able t omake an attract
ive Job, depends entirely upon his
artistic ability.
The best rock plants to use will
be found in the following list:
Siberian Yarrow, Alpine Rock
Cress, Downy Rockcress, Golden
tuft Alyssum, Yellow Camomile,
American Columbine. Sweet Wil
liam, Creeping Gypsophilia, Blood
red Cranesbill, Evergreen Candy

Present
A little additional energy this
month will give you something to
be proud of this summer.
Porch boxes that have laid idle
all winter should be cleaned for
the summer flowers. If the boxes
already contain bulbs, nothing can
be done until they finish bloom
ing. Then, the bulbs should be
dug and the bulb stored in a cool
dark place where they will dry
out slowly. Porch' boxes that have
remained empty all winter should
have at least four inches of top
dirt removed and replaced with
new rich soil.. A fine soil for
porch boxes is a mixture of half
Bandy soil and half black, well
rotted barnyard manure. Any
plants that might have lived over
the winter should be removed and
reset after the new dirt is placed.
When a new paint job Js needed,
this should be done a few days
before refilling with soil. New
spring plants for the boxes may
be set as soon as warm weather
permits. The best porch box
plants will be discussed in another
article.
The tops of such bulbs as daffo
dils, narcissus, crocus, hyacinths,
which are left in the, ground
should be cut off above ' the
ground, a ssoon as they begin to
wilt down. To place strength in
to the next year's flower, the tops
must remain until they have
wilted. When annual plants are
to be set in the bulb bed, the
plants should be placed in be
tween the bulbs. This will allow
the gardener to use the same
piece of ground for -two crops. Of
course the more crops raised, the
more fertilizers are needed. A
good supply of sheep guano
sprinkled around each new annual
plant when setting will sufficient
ly fertilize it for a thrifty growth.
All, fertilizers, must, be'; immediate
ly BiikUsUiwith'wkter to pro-'
duce the best results.'
A little extra energy with the
hoe this month will give gratify
ing results later when hot wea
ther comes. Weeds grow fastest
during the warm spring months.
Flower beds should be hoed at
least once a month to keep the
weeds under control.

Do you as an individual build with an
eye toward the future? It always pays
in the long run to use first class mater
ial in building construction. Let us go
over your plans with you for we will
be able to make some valuable sugges
tions gleaned from 25 years spent in
the building trades.

Extensive remodeling and re
finishing of the JoTinson building
on State street will be in progress
in June shortly after the lease of
the room now occupied by Ka
foury Bros, expires according to
O. F. Johnson, owner of the pro
erty, who will operate a woman's
ready-to-wear store there begin
ning next fall. For some time
Mr. Johnson was said to be de
bating whether or not he .would
open his business this fall but his
decision is now final.
TDIELY HINTS
The untidy practice of throwing
weeds and trash upon the lawn
when weeding the beds In the
spring should be discouraged. This
is not only unsightly but it also
ruins the grass if left too long. A
small basket nearby or a canvas
spread upon the ground will suf
ficiently solve the problem.
Dead branches of shrubbery
may be pruned at any time of the
year. They become unsightly and
spoil the appearance of the shrub.
Deciduous shrubs may be thinned
at any season of the year when
not practiced too heavily. Decidu
ous shrubs should also be pruned
Immediately after the blooming
season to produce a large supply
of blooms the following season.
If gtvrden tools are cleaned
thoroughly every time they aro
put away, work will be made eas
ier. They should be scraped with
a wooden paddle, then wiped
clean with an old rag. Never wash
them as this will cause rust.
Where tools are stored in a damp
place, it is well to rub a little oil
over the surface.
If the lawn mower doesn't make
a good Job, it probably needs
sharpening. The novice should
never attempt to sharpen his own
mower but should have a reliable
(awn mower expert sharped and
adjust it.
