A wildflower garden is well fitted to these inflationary days, for it can be managed on a low budget. It needs lit tle or no water, no fertilizer, no cultivating and very iittle care. You can go away and leave a wildflower garden and come back to find it none the worse for your absence. Gardeners who travel frequenty will appreciate this advantage. For a colorful summer or fall vine, either the large- flowered hybrids or the har dy clematis species are hard to beat. Spring is the time to plant them. Reliable service when you need it most Is as close as your telephone.

AAost newlyweds arrange for a professional wedding por trait, and often for a pro fessional photographer to picture the wedding. But that doesn't mean that you have to leave your own camera on the shelf. "Ama teur" shots will add to the cherished record of this day, and can often tell parts of the wedding story which the professionaf is unable to cap ture. A friend or member of the family will be on the scene earlier, and later, than the professional can be. Moreover, he is a part of the scene himself, and as such he will see things and know things about the bride and groom and their happy day which no outsider can know. So have your camera handy, for before-and-after the wed ding shots and the personal picture viewpoint which will add immeasurably to the wedding memories. You don't have to be a professional to want and use the professional features de signs into the new Kodak Instamatic line of fine cam eras ... the most automatic cameras you can buy.

Organic matter and a handful or two of ground lime stone should be worked deeply into the planting hole. Water the plants well, and train them over a trellis or wall. No pruning is needed the first season. More than 150 years have passes since Percy Bysshe Shelley penned these lines to a cloud: I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers. From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams- From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one. When rocked to rest on their mother's breast. As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail. And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain. And laugh as I pass in thun der. I am the daughter of earth and water. And the nursling of the sky; I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores; 1 change, but I cannot die. Consider these thoughts from the mind of a man who may have been the wisest candidate ever defeated in a bid for President, Adlal Stevenson: Patriotism is not the fear of something, it is the love of something- We dare not look back to great yesterdays. We must look to great tomorrows. Statesmanship consists sometimes not so much in knowing what to do ultimately as in what to do now. We believe that it is better to discuss a question without settling it, than to settle a question without discussing it. Self-criticism is the secret weapon of democracy, and can dor and confession are good for the political soul. I don't feel like a gift from Providence, and I really don't believe lam. I feel very much like a corn-fed Illinois law yer, who has gotten into the big For after the rain, when with never a stain The pavilion of heaven is bare, And the winds and sunbeams, with convex gleams. Build up the bluedomeofair, I silently laugh at my own ceno taph. And outofthecavernsofraln. Like a child from the womb, like a ghostfrom the tomb, I arise and unbuild it again. time unintentionally. I shall not try to win your vote by an "all this and heaven too" campaign. I believe that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the American people will make the right decisions, if and when they are in possession of the facts about any given issue. The hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning. If you run for office and have a slightly unusual name, let me advise you either to change it before you start, or be prepar ed to take other people's word for it. There are no short cuts to na tional security. There are only short cuts to defeat. Communism has yet to be the popular choice of one single nation on the globe. TRU-TREAD TIRE CO.
