She is member of the National Rose society of Eng land, Portland Rose society, Grants Pass society and Med ford Rose society. Mrs. Axtell is interested in the old fashioned roses as well as the modern types. She has a garden of 350 roses, about 100 of which are species and old fashioned varieties; the rest are hybrid ,teas, flora bundas and climbers. As a hobby she collects books on roses, especially those that are old and out of print. Mrs. Axtell states that she is very fond of the old roses and wishes that these were more extensively plant ed. Their use as shrubbery has never been fully realized by most rose lovers. Many varieties bloom more than once and require very little care. The new consulting Rosarian states she will be glad to help anyone with their rose problems to the best of her ability. Anyone wishing to visit Mrs. Axtell's garden may reach it by the following route: travel by Crater Lake highway to the McLeod bridge which is approximately five miles beyond Trail, cross the bridge and turn sharply to the teft onto Laurelhurst road and continue for about three miles until reaching the sign "Folding Hills Ranch" on the left hand side of the road. 4 School of Hope Speaker's Topic Karl A.

Butte Falls - Oregon's Cen tennial year was commemor ated at a dinner given Feb ruary 21 by Butte Falls Grange. Guests came from Shady Cove, Ashland, Med ford and Central Point as well as from Butte Falls, bringing the attendance to more than 125 persons. Tables were decorated in the Centennial theme and the stage front with log cabins and a miniature forest. All food, even to home - made bread and butter, were dishes that might have been served by our grandmothers 100 years ago. While guests were still seat ed at the table, Ernest Smith, an old-time resident, gave a historical resume of the pio neer settlers in the Butte Falls territory. Many descendants of these families were present and many live here. Augustus (Gus) Edmond- son, wh.o was born in Butte Falls in 1890, was honored as the oldest pioneer resident and presented a boutonniere. Others present were his broth er Robert Edmondson, Edward Cook, Ernest. Smith and Mrs. Ben Edmondson, who was pre sented a corsage for being the eldest woman present. The corsage and boutonniere were made of red carnations, typi fying the courage of our fore fathers. Mrs. Delia Littlefield, lec turer of Shady Cove Grange, read excepts from Jackson County Grange meeting min utes held in the year 1874. One item of interest noted that the committee on beef re ported that they had made the necessary arrangements to supply beef to patrons on the following terms:. The but cher to be furnished with beef on foot at 3 cents per pounds and he to deliver beef at the door for 6 cents; patrons re ceiving beef to have the privi lege of paying for it with beef cattle. Another item showed that a motion was made and passed that, the price of grain be set at one cent per pound and flour $18 per thousand as the lowest price to be taken by patrons in cash or to pay debts. The school band, led by Leslie Boggan played four numbers. Parents and friends were greatly impressed by the progress made, as this group was newly organized from un trained musicians last fall. . Stunts, . parlor games and old time dances, such as the Virginia reel and square dances filled the evenings en tertainment. Most Grange members and many guests were dressed in Centennial costumes. Some of the clothing articles were au thentic heirlooms. Many guests had pictures taken in a setting made up of a 10-year-old swing rocker, an antique center table, a kerosene lamp with painted shade, an antique photo al bum and a quilt. Three large tables displayed antiques and heirlooms loaned by local residents. An article of special inter est was a Seth Thomas clock with hand painted door dated 1847. Another exhibit contained glassware foimd by Ernest Smith while surveying a road several years ago. He believes because of the decomposed condition of the log under which it was found, that it had been hidden either by In dians who had stolen it or by travelers who had to abandon it during an Indian uprising in this valley during the early 1850 s. It was found many miles from where any cabin had ever been. Old newspapers, pictures, legal papers, Bibles, cook books, oxen shoes, baby clothes, dishes and numerous other articles were on display, Week of Prayer Announced For Baptist Women Women's Missionary union of First Southern Baptist church, 794 Lozier lane, en tertained the Men's Brother hood at a potluck dinner at the church February 23.
