Coquille’s sixth annual flower show
passed into history last Friday night
in a blase of glory, joining in memory
and for retrospection the five success­
ful shows which preceded it. As pre­
viously stated the display of blossoms
and ptanta waa not quit* as largo as
In the past, the date for the show be­
ing in between seasons, but the choice
blooms and variety of eahibits show­
ed that the Coquille Flower Club and
the flower-loving pdblic of Coquille
are becoming more flower-wise and
batter versed ia the art of flower cul­
ture.
Ths display of sweat pass waa gor­
geous. The rock plant exhibits and
the many varieties of beautiful foli-
agod shrubbery made a most effective
setting for the riotous color of the
blooming plants.
More than 400 registered in the
flower club’s record book, and the re­
ceipts of more than *20 waa sufficient
to pay all expenses.
The programs, both afternoon and
eveqiqg, were well presented and fur-
ntehad enjoyable entertainment for
the crowds.
Mayor J. Arthur Berg gave the ad­
dress of welcome in the afternoon,
white Lyman Carrier spoke in the ev­
ening, comemnting on the vast im­
provement of home appearances in
Coquills during the past few years.
A piano duet by Edythe Farr and
Audrey Aasen, a vocal solo by Mr*.
H. W. Covalt, and musical readings by
Katherine Jane Hassler, were features
of the afternoon.
The Spanish dances by Doris Comp­
ton on both programs were exhibi­
tions of grace and the music of mo­
tion. Martha Carrier’s violin num­

added to the program’s presentation.
Dons Id Farr, who is so frequently
in demand for vocal selections on Co­
quille programs, sang in the evening,

awarded to Mm. Ida K. Owen last
year, k is awarded for a year at each
flower show to the one who has jron

the semi-monthly sections of the flow­
er club. In accepting'the cup he ex-
m in ill his pleasure for the honor
and said he could not have been suc­
cessful had it not been for the hearty
co-operation of Mm. Grimes, “es­
pecially at the end of shovel.’’
Assessor J. P. Beyers, who pre­
sided at the evening tension, said he
could not close without some refer­
ence* to taxes, and assured his hear­
ers that the beautifying of their
homes, a new roof or a new founda­
tion, would not result in an increase
of valuation on their property by his
office.

enable a great many people to get
out on a Fourth of July trip who
would not have taken their ears out
had July 1 remained the dead line
for old tags.
And to make it easier for ear own-
ens, who are having to pay 8%
cents per gallon more for gas than
they did a few weeks ago, the move
to permit three months’ ear licensing
at a time is going to be of much help
The plan is being worked out in Secre­

But the big gas companies have no
sympathy with the depression. Or
perhaps the depression has hit them
so hard that they could not pay divi­
dends without the 2% cent raise just
before the Fourth.
