Tbe contest will begin now and extend iso the late summer.

Take the worst spots and photograph them in order that the real improvement may be accurately judged. The contestants will be divided Into three divisions: there will be first prizes given for the class of gardens where a hired gardener does all the work; one for those gardens where a gardner is hired to do part of the work; and one for the garden in which the own er does all the work. Those folk winning first prizes this year will be eligible to enter the national garden contest in which entries must be made in the fall. Frank . Doerfler and B. Larmer are . entered this year from their work done last sum mer. The following article, is by Henry Morris, chairman of the "city beautiful" committee. "The work of the city beautiful committee of the garden club is not bo much tbe encouragement of the growth of flowers or any one particular method of beauti ficatlon, but is that of making Salem stand out in a way as orig inal in its modes of dress of its many hundreds of beautiful gar dens, and lawns. The lay of the city with its rolling hills In some sections high and sightly, flat in others, and with Mill Creek wind ing its way through the city, gives those interested in the beautifi catlon of their individual homes many opportunities of presenting something new. Some particular homes or gar dens lend themselves well to the quaint, out of the ordinary type of landscaping or decorations with lattice fences, arched gateways or trellises, while some place else the surroundings may call for things more of a rustic nature that they , may blend well into the back ground while the places adjacent may play up to the colorful as pect. Whether it be of the home with fancy awnings, eolorful flowers or fancy painted lawn furnishings or that ground or yard that lends itself to things that are novel, artifically sup plied, they all work well into tbe general scheme. The picturesque, too, comes in for those particular grounds whose view adapts themselves to landscaping of this nature. Some yards of the plainer type will be greatly enhanced at slight expense with a lattice fence or rustic gate or trellis here and there or a rus rustic seat in a shaded nook. In other places the yard may be in good condition and a new coat of paint on tbe house would change the whole scene and make that particular home stand out as a beauty spot in the whole neigh borhood. A similarity in all the work, the landscaping, the paint and other decorations throughout tbe city, while beautiful In individual eases, .would not attract attention nor would it be desirable; but a variety that can be worked out from the rock garden, in those locations where they are best fit ted to sunken gardens in. other locations, lend a great variety of Ideas for . beautifying Salem homes. This year many prizes will be riven for the beautlfication' of homes and . grounds, f The garden club wishes all those who are In terested in the city beautiful eon test, put on by. the- Salem ..Garden dab, te enter their names at once as ; contestants:- The finer gar dens will -compete amongst them selves and those, who start. with nothing or very little will compete with those who likewise started from scratch. The. greatest boost that Salem can have will be ihe beautifica- tion of its homes painted, deco rated and ' landscaped, causing many people for miles around, to drive to Salem to view our many wonderful, and outstanding gar dens and homes. Ton will not only be amply re paid for. the work and expense that, this may cost but yon will be doubly paid if not many times by the - satisfaction and pride that you yourself w HI have -in your accomplishment. --: ' The "city beantifcl" committee xpectfully"reo.nest. every; one In Salem"" to ' do something.

Then you will like this house plan which gives sunlight on three sides of the spacious living room. It is well adapted for a lot with a garden. For from the back side of the living room French doors open on a terrace which would over look the garden or lawn. This might be a porch with a view of the distant landscape. Compactness marks the remainder of the house. There is the nook for morning sun shine and the dining room overlooking the rear yard or garden. Three rooms and bath are planned for the upstairs. The whole makes one of tbe modern homes which lend variety to our streets of houses, giving charm as well as character to the abodes of men.

Far in the rear of the garden, the purple leaved Prnnus pissardl blends so well with the lilac one might think a color scheme had been worked out. but It lust happened. The pleasure of flower gardens is aot only in the growing and perfecting specimens, but tbe color combinations and the association of one plant to another is of vital importance. The greatest pleasure of all Is to work out your own Ideas and attain a picture that you have created through your own skill, imagination and obser vation. We are constantly working on color schemes, some are disap pointing, others delightfuf, but It is Just this uncertainty of develop ment that gives one the ambition to continue in the pursuit of per fecting the garden.

(Special) At last the faithful lilac Is coming Into its own. A Salem flower lover In a re cent article said nice things about the lilac and a lilac lover in Washington has set aside a week 'and called It "Lille week" that she may shaie the beauty of her wonderful new creations with others. The people of Rickey, one of the oldest districts in the coun ty, apparently always have been and still are lilae lovers, as there is hardly a yard but what has a lilac tree, as most of them are so old that they have outgrown the bush stage and have attained the dignity of a tree. One woman ho says she is planting an 'old ageH garden of things that are easily taken care of has ten lilac trees on the place, because she and her chil dren love them and want to be able to pick all the flowers they want tor the house and still have plenty outside to enjoy. The ordinary purple lilac Is so hardy that nothing but old age strongly assisted by the elements seems to be able to destroy them. Three old timers have succumb ed to the wind ln the last two or three years. One on the Irvin Caplinger farm, probably planted in the late 40's or early 50's as the Jacob Caplinger family came to Oregon in 1845 and moved to this homestead shortly afterwards and the lilac was a good sized tree 35 years ago. Another on the T. Fitzpatrlck farm known as tbe old Estes place, close to the age of the Caplinger tree and the third one about SO years old on the W. H. Humphreys farm. Apple Tree Prerequisite To really appreciate lilacs one needs an apple tree and perhaps that is the reason farmers grow more lilacs than their city neighbors. This community has been a perfect bower of creamy white apple blossoms and pnrple and white lilac blooms and the fra grance of the mingling of the two perfumes can not be described When one feels sad about the withering of the last daffodils here come the lilae and apple blossoms like old and faithful friends and seem to say "we're here again and we ll stay all summer and give you not only flowers but shade. It has taken us years to mature but we come every year without replanting." Oldest Lilac Described The oldest lilac tree in the community Is on the W. H. Hum phrey farm and though not as well shaped as Its old mate that was blown down a few years ago. Is full of blooms. It was on the place when purchased by Mrs Humphreys father, J. Ashby, In 1883. Second place goes to the one DALLAS, April 2 Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Lowe of Portland are visiting Mrs. Lowe's mother and sister, Mrs. B. H. McCallon and Mrs. Paul Skeels tor a short -time. Among those from Dallas who attended the funeral of the late Dr. J. N. Smith In Salem, Tuesday were: W. R. Ellis, J. C. Ellis, Ho mer Ellis, Mrs. M. M.

' Mrs. Ed Coad returned the first of, the .week from a visit of several months with her daughter, Mrs. Julius Herxog ta Fresno, Calif. Miss Alice Grant, teacher in the Portland schools spent the Easter holidays with her sister, Mrs. Simon Grintheim. Two local men entered the veterans, hospital In Portland this week for observation and treat ment. They are Richard Domas chofsky and Fred Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Thomas who have made their home in Dallas for the past two years are moving to Tillamook, where Mr. Thomas has been transfered as salesman for tbe Mountain States Power company. He is exchang ing places with William Matthews of Tillamook. Dr. Penn C. Crum motored to St. Helens to return with Mrs. Crum who has been visiting with Mrs. Allan Bailey.

Members of the choir of the Christian church entertained with a surprise shower for the director and bis wife, Devere Penhollow, who were married Easter Sun day. The shower was held at the home of Mrs. Delbert SDrinasteln Thursday evening members of the church held a reception ln the cnurcn pariora for the young eoupie. on the J. Crabb farm, whose ex act age is not known. Other old timers, some of whose ages range close to 30 years are on the D. A. Harris, .T. Wallace, W. D Horner, G. Hager and M. M. Ma- gee, J. B. Ashby and W. Sheridan places. Though not Quite as old as some of the others, Mr. and Mrs. George Edwards have a beautiful white lilac tree In bloom that far exceeds some of its older broth erg and sister for size and shape, The apple trees seem to be ln a hurry to be about their other tasks and only a very few blooms are left,, but the blooms on the lilacs will last for several days. The school children and the teachers, Mrs Marie Kelly and Miss Edna Ferv seem to have caught the lilae spirit and have planted a lot of lilae bushes on 1 the school ground where one old 1 apple tree will keep them com pany.
