" : : : : PAGE SEVEN i I fUtttgue uarden ClaU Meeii dispuTtdday New House at 1540 N. 18th Has Conveniences and Excellent Taste There is something about the word "home" that stirs warmth In the heart of man. In many languages the word which stands for the English word home Is "house" or "dwelling" and does not carry the same lnclusivene39 of many associations as does "home" which - may mean fam ily, cozy warmth, beautiful fur- nlshings, cheer, friendliness, so ciability and much more that is personal to individuals. There is many a house that is not a home for reasons best known to the Individuals who ' lire In the house. One thins is true, the builders of houses are more and more becoming expon ents of laying a foundation for a home. There i one section of Salem j which is being developed with " ' the idea of "homes" ..as a basic principle if one is to' Judge by the exterior of the houses and by a few of the interiors which have been observed. The reference is to North 18th street and to the section which comes inland to the north part of Market street. There is a house at IS 40 North 18th that will be open today which is very attractive both in side and out and bears especially worth while" points.- 1 It has 'five rooms trrfh art hin flnished upstairs. The matter of sufficient room has been minded in building with the result that even though there is not such a large ground space there seems to be no crowding. Exterior is Attractive II 1 One observes as one approach-li-C"- 8 the house a warmth of line ine use or sningiea ana wide spread rather low arrange ment. This wide spread line is obtained by extending the house into a garage to the north and causing the lines of connection to he so smooth as to carry through the complete plan of the house structure. A tiny porch which is really only a small projection of the roof protects one while the door is being opened. When the house was observed there was no furniture In it but it did not look bare nor-a bit unfriendly in fact it looked quite , Inviting. Much color, low ceilings, plenty of light and fresh warmth ef fected the refelt -of friendliness. As one enters the living room to the immediate left ia the fire place. Instead of a mantle there Is a niche-like shelf brought to an arch at the top to Imitate a cathedral window. In the wall opposite the fireplace is a group of four built in shelves, small " but attractive, where favorite 1 books may be placed to a better advantage than lying carelessly about on tables. 1 The woodwork Is all a light tan grey which greatly reduces I ' "the appearance to critical gaze lf the accidental speck of dust. The V walls are stipled in green, tan and old rose in such fine effect that the result is almost a foggy glow of color. This color effect is used In all the walls of the house and thus extends the idea of breadth and width to the rooms. Kitchen Real Work of art The living room opens into the dining room by an arch. A small hallway opens off the dining room and off this opens the gay est bathroom in shades of laven der and cream, and at either end of the hall opens a bedroom. The kitchen is the real work of art. It is finished in shades f green, and - buff with black line for contrast. Built-ins are everywhere. There was not room for a breakfast nook so a wall table was made that folds up like the ironing board and may be let down in the morning for quick use. The Ironing board is right beside It and all the wood- Mutual Sayings and Loan Association A Salem Institution Organized Is 1910 Place your savings with us Let us finance your home on weekly or monthly payments 142 South Liberty Street Good Lumber, That's What We Sell In addition to prime, sound lumber, we carry large stocks of wall board and all new building materials.

Dallas.) As sweet peas are so delight fully important I will tell vyou briefly about preparing a seed bed for them. Dig a trench pre paring the soil in the usual way to a depth of 12 inches or more and incorporating a good quanti ty of. rotted manure, bone meal and wood ashes. It is essential that the trench be well drained for seeds will stand freezing hut not long soaking. The ground should be tramped down to make it solid. The top of the bed should be slightly above the level of the surrounding soil. Mark a furrow three inches deep and if the soil is heavy put In an inch of sand. Sow seed and cover two inches deep. Mulch as soon as the ground freezes, not before, because mulch in warm weather creates undue heat and the seeds will begin to grow. Now is also the time to take hollyhock cuttings. This is done by taking new growth from the base of the old plants and root ing in sands so the bloom will be the same as the parent plant for, as is known, hollyhocks do not always come true to color from seed. Cuttings that grow by tipping should also be made now. Among these are honeysuckle lavender, and other similar plants. These should be rooted in sand. Perennial seedlings which were sown in early August may be large enough to transplant into a well drained and privileged cold frame; if they are to be left in the open ground they will need considerable mulching. There is a shrub which is not so common here but which has much to recommend Itself for planting that is the witch hazel. Now is a good time to plant it Choose some place that will' be a shady nook in your garden. This plant take its nap in the summer and is now alive and green so that it makes a delight ful shrub to add cheer to a gray ing landscape. : Its seed pods are a source of great Joy to the chil dren as well as elders. -When brought into contact with warmth they pop open and throw seeds in all directions. work which covers the two of them is in a lovely sea foam green Just as all the rest of the bailt-ins, the . Inside f all of which are painted buft There is every reason to be lieve that this house will be a real home. It has a perfect long start for such a result. 0 ffi STONE IN U. S.

Too, if broken branches are removed and burned there is a big step taken toward preventing carrying over or spreading of diseases, and in sect pests. There is another type of plant that needs attention this time of year. These are the house plants which includes such favorites as fushlas, begonias, geraniums and such. Pruning, cutting back, transplanting or pinching out, will insure an abundance of bloom later on. This will also cause a stock branching growth and makes a better looking plant. Plants that are not bound may now be replanted. Pots, if old ones are to be used, should be scrubbed with a good stiff brush so as to open the pores. One mis take made in repotting is filling in with soil around the roots and merely pressing it down on the surface. . The soil should be care fully ' rammed in around the roots with a small flat stick such as a pot label. In speaking of plants let me call attention to the beauty and value of a living plant or a pack et of favorite seeds for a Christ mas gift. The seed should be gathered early.

MAGEB This is the time of the year when the lowly old fashioned marigold comes into its own. During the summer and early fall when there ! are so many beautiful flowers the majority of gardeners pay little attention to the marigolds but they bloom on regardless of slights, Now when the dahlias and gladiolis are frozen and even the chrysanthemums are begin ning to look shabby, the mari golds seem to have taken a new lease on life and are a mass of gold and yellow. In the city the flowers are pro tected by the buildings and are not killed by frost as easily, as in the country gardens. In the country dead flower stalks and shabby trees may make one feel a wee bit melancholy but if he has an abundance of marigolds it is surprising how much enjoy ment there still is In gardening, and how many gloomy looking spots can be brightened. Marigolds don't seem to mind in the least being moved this time of year even if they are in full bloom. One gardener plants mari golds in am out of a. way . plaqs an I JW '.fc fall I Motes! them? ftb places that , nejed. , brightening. Only a few days ago she chang ed a spot near her kitchen door that had been an ugly spot each fall and made of it a thing of beauty. To this spot she added chrysanthemums and now in place of an unsightfy corner she has a garden In full bloom. Marigolds are easily raised from seed and when once started will usually reseed themselves. They bloom from summer un til Thanksgiving and even later, unless there are unusually hard frosts. A very attractive centerpiece for Hallowe'en or Thanksgiving can be made by hollowing out a pie pumpkin and filling it with marigolds. The Calondula efficienalis, or well known marigold, is a na tive of southern Europe and has been in cultivation for 300 years or more. for the months, perhaps years, after the holiday season has pass ed, than a plant could be? Do not select something of the hot house variety that only lasts a week or two, at the most, but make the plant a truly hardy house plant, a fern, begonia or aomething similar, that will keep on growing more beautiful and carry not only the message of "Merry Christmas" but "a happy new year" the whole 12 months through. Sssofl ng Unitarian Church Mtinday There are sereral other Tari eties of marigolds. , Among those well known are the Afri can and French, which are na tives of Mexico and hare been In cultivation a great many years. The corn flower marigold is found in the corn fields of Eng land, and is used medically and when dried is used for hay. In Germany it is nsed for yellow dye and in ancient times has been nsed for food. The marsh marigold called by Shakespeare "winking ' Mary buds' -grows In the British Isles and its flower buds are used as substitute for capers. WINTER SLUMP ON IN LUMBER TRADE PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 8.

By LILL1E L. MADSEN On the floor of the main pavil - ion of the recent Pacific Interna tional Livestock Exposition t Portland was a shrub display which attracted more than usual attention. - And the drawing card in the display was a group of lit tle hushes' literally covered with white, pink and reft berries about the size Of cranberries. At first glance one took the white-berried variety to be some form of the Da tive' shrab most of us term as "snow berry." Closer investigation revealed that their leaves were more like .the huckleberry or a coarse form of heather. Certainly they were attractive much more so than a typewriter can picture them. These shrubs are the Pernettyas, or so-called South American huck leberry. They are not. particularly well-known here and we were told that only once before had they been displayed at Portland. As far as we could learn but one com pany in Portland carries these shrubs at present. The Pernettyas are a very good rockery shrubs. They " grow but three feet, or thereabouts, high, and their berries remain on thoughout the winter, giving color when color is most-needed. They prefes" at sandy peat Boll tan aflidl soil and Willi mat prosper in a heavy- clay or too rich garden loam. Such soils must be lighten ed with plenty of sand and peat. The chap in charge of the Per- ; nettya display at the Pacific In ! ternational told us that they look ed best in groups but I think any gardener would be proud to own even one of these really in teresting little shrubs. They are not particularly expensive and the berries are edible although quite tart. Rose Enthusiast I think the variety to which you refer is the Madame Cecile Brunner. This comes either in brush or climber form. The buds are the tiny, per fectly formed ones that we fre quently see in the florist's bou quets.

Easterner You ask if there is any place here in the west that you can secure the eastern "May flower." I have found that there Is nothing in a name when it comes to "Mayflower." A few years ago I tried to track down a dainty little pastel tinted flower known as the "Mayflower" in our Michigan and Wisconsin forests. I found a gardener who special ized in native flowers from the world over "Ob. Yes." she had the flower of which I was in search and she showed me a "Trailing Arbutus"! That, seem ingly, is the "Mayflower" of the New England States. Other visit ors at the garden Informed me that "something else" was the "Mayflower" in the Dakotas(and Nebraskans had yet another "Mayflower." A search through the gardens revealed that my "Mayflower" was in reality a Hepatica Acutiloba. (Mentally I still call it Mayflower). The. Hepaticas are a lovely lit- tie t flower to cultivate and a de lightful reminder of childhood days in eastern woods. They are fragrant and, if given the proper care, reach a height of four or five inches. They like a leaf mould and sand mixture. I had a little difficulty in getting them to be come permanent residents of the Willamette valley, but by expert menting I found they could be grown quite successfully here. My most successful attempt last year was with a clump grown in a pocket of leafmould and sand be tween two rocks to secure the drainage they seem to require. I had taller plants shading them from the midday sun. If you want Hepaticas to bloom next spring you should secure the plants and get them In as soon as possible, for they are early bloomers, you know. m 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 m 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 occupied by Salem Bank Monthly- Installment and Insurance Loan Association OREGON PIONEER CALLED BEY01 AURORA.
