"city beautiful" contest.
Tbe contest will begin now and
extend iso the late summer. ' Take
pictures of your garden or lawn
now in order that it may b used
for comparison with the Improved
condition to be Judged in 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.

paid for. the work and expense
that, this may cost but yon will be
doubly paid if not many times by

Do you love the sunshine? 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.

is aot only in the growing and

of one plant to another is of vital
importance. The greatest pleasure
of all Is to work out your own

you have created through your

on color schemes, some are disap

is Just this uncertainty of develop

RICKEY. (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.
