THE CRYING NEED . . .
of our times is an increased ability, on the part of the people, to
make democratic processes work for the common good. The devel
opment of our capacity for effective collective action is the main
guarantee of our continued enjoyment of life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness.
This working together for the gjod of all; this ability to subordi
nate small individual selfish interests to active loyalty for a great
cause representing the common good is one of man’s highest achieve
ments. At the same time it is his greatest protection against pow
erful minority interests which would first exploit and finally en
slave.
The cooperative movement is doing a great deal toward develop
ing these abilities and capacities. Cooperation places brotherhood in
business. A cooperative enterprise is successful in just the meas
ure in which we are able to cooperate for the common good. If
America can but learn to live together and work together, she need
fear no dictator either from within or without. In union there is
strength.

by Mra. Vera Doyle
Chrysanthemums are a large gen
us of annual and perennial herb. An
herb means any plant which dies to
the ground, as distinguished from
shrubs and trees which have woody
stems living from year to year.
“Mums” are shrubby and woody
at the base and are members of the
composite family. They are grown
chiefly for the showy flowers in late
summer and fall. The plants are
hardy and semi-hardy, strong scented
and coarse. Colors range from deli
cate pastel tints through shades to
strong reds, only the blues and true
purples are missing.
Since we are in the flowering
stage of chrysanthemums, we think
it most fitting to omit spring and
summer culture and learn the fall
and winter care.
Chrysanthemums are hardy and
will keep blooming outdoors after
other plants have been frosted. To
keep your “mums” in bloom arrange
screens of cloth which may be low
ered over the plants when frost
threatens and rolled up while the sun
is warm. With this care it is possi
ble to have chrysanthemums for
Thanksgiving.
For border and color in the garden
budding is not required. For large
blooms or specimen blooms it is
necessary to disbud leaving only one
bud to a stem.
(More information on “mums”
will be published next week)
W. R. Dimm of Portland will show
colored motion pictures of Pacific
coast gardens and flower shows in
Pendleton Friday, November 1, at 8
p. m. at the Vert Theatre. They will
be shown under the auspices of the
Pendleton Garden club.
Mr. Dimm will show Daffodils of
the Northwest; 1939 Golden Gate
Exposition, San Francisco; Spring
Garden Show, Oakland, Cal.; and Pa
cific Coast Gardens.
A small fee will be charged and
Mrs. Donald Wair is ticket chairman.
George Harkenrider and W. L.
Latham of Hermiston are finding
their pheasant hunting rather costly
this year, figuring their fines in on
the cost. They were nabbed by fed
eral officers for hunting after the
time limit and were assessed fines of
$15.00 and court costs in the justice
We will meet Friday, November 8,

BENEFIT TEA TO
BE HELD FR ID A Y
A chrysanthemum show and silver I
tea will be given on Friday afternoon
by the Hermiston Garden club. The
affair will be held in the Legion hall
and proceeds will go to the Bundles
for Britain organization. A good at
tendance is expected. Mrs. W. E. Lo
gan will talk on how to judge chrys
anthemums.
At the benefit bridge given for the
same fund last Saturday by a group
of local women, about $19.00 was
raised. Mrs. Julius Gimbel pleased
with a solo, accompanied by Miss Gol-
da Mumma at the piano. Group sing
ing was also enjoyed. While the
group playing was small, a good part
of the money was given by persons
not attending, or by players who do
nated many times the fee asked to
play. Every dollar sent to Bundles
for Britain goes toward the humani
tarian cause, not for salaries or over
head.
The organization was started a
few months ago in New York. Now
there are 300 branches in 40 states.
Oregon is right to the front with sev
eral branches. And this is one way
| women of today may occupy their
spare time and money in helping to»
help others.
