survey Is being systematically
mut at the states of the United
States and has Jnst been com
pleted for our own state. Mrs.
Law ton is now in Washington
where she is continuing the same
work.

rfertsJn highways are unique
fa character and can scarcely be
- matched anywhere in America,
especially the McKensle, the Co
lumbia River highway. the
YnMutvAlt hlrhwav and those
that lead through the deserts of
astern Oregon, through the na
tional forests, and to Crater
Lake. These highways are es-
peieily creditable inasmuch as
the state highway improvement
did not commence until 1917.
Work of the state highway
commission was highly com
mended. "The system of roadside parks
and timber fringes which it is
seeking to establish is a unique
piece of work and will be of Im
measurable value to the state,"
reads the report, and continues.
"We find Oregon's highways re
markably clean, due to the fact
that the highway commission
gathers up the rubbish along the
roadsides once, every month and
on some of the busiest roads
once every week." Roads are
unusually clean of small adver
tising signs, this due in no small
degree to the efforts of the com
mission which urges that all
signs be kept off the right-of-way,
and attempts to get farm
ers to place signs on buildings
of "post no bills, Oregon state
highway commission." The Ore
gon commission and the Penn
sylvania commission are the only
two, it appears, which make any
attempt to reduce the signs on
private property.
Warning was maae in me sur
vey against billboards placed at
harp curves, a condition con
eernlng which Oregon seems neg
BgenL Roads of Oregon are not
nearly ao cluttered with adver
tising as other states of the
anion so far surveyed.
Filling stations and food
tands should be encouraged to
make their surroundings attrac
tive, It was reported.
i The report concluded with this
statement which should give
courage to Oregon's citizens:
"The natural beauty of Oregon
roadsides, the clean conditions
maintained by the state highway
commission, the unusual beauty
of your bridges, the efforts to
keep away advertising signs, and
the attempted protection In some
places of your scenic spots and
timber fringes, all go to make
the highways of Oregon nearer
than those of most states to a
realization of the right ideal,
every highway a parkway'."

Overcome Handicaps in
Raising Flowers
By LILLIE U. MAGEE
RICKEY, Aug. 2. (Special)
What can' be done under the
most' unfavorable conditions by
patience and - preservation by
anyone who is determined to
have a flower garden has been
demonstrated by the school chil
dren of the district and the
teachers. Mrs. Marie- Kelly and
Miss .Edna Ferry.
Two years ago when the school
house was built Mrs. Kelly and
Miss Ferry took charge of the
school. They also made up their
minds that the school grounds
should be beautified.
Pupils Donate
Bulbs and Plants
The pupils were delighted
with the idea and donated tulips
and daffodil bulbs, lilac bushes
and a few perennials.
Quite an amount of clay soil
had been scattered around, the
yard when the excavation was
done for the basement and was
pretty well packed -by fall.
Regardless of the hard- task
before them the teachers and the
children went to work, spaded
the ground and planted their
bulbs and plants. The ground
was so poor that the plants made
very little growth and the gar
deners . waited eagerly to see
what their bulbs would do.
The gophers and moles seemed
to think someone was doing
them a favor by planting bulbs
and destroyed a good many of
them. Part of the tulips they
left until they had buds and even
blooms then the moles cut them
off Just under the ground.
Theft of Plants
Is Final Blow
A few tulips and a few daffo
dils bloomed and then some one
stole the daffodils.
Miss KeHy and Miss Ferry
were reelected last fall and
the gardeners were not discour
aged but went to work again.
New soil was added and they
planted again and this time with
more success.
The daffodils and tulips grew
and bloomed and so on through

During the past few weeks
when ft has been, so hot that it
did not seem possible that there
could be any flowers without ir
rigation, the school garden has
been one mass at hollyhock and
larkspur blooms. They are al
most out of bloom now but the
shasta daisies and miehaelmas
daisies are ready to take their
places.
A lot of iris and several more
lilae bushes were planted by the
gardeners this spring and they
expect to have an even prettier
array of flowers next year than
they had this year.

may have them and welcome.
Uncle Joe; who is well along in
