Coquille’s sixth annual flower show

and for retrospection the five success

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.

And to make it easier for ear own-

they did a few weeks ago, the move

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
