"Flowers have an expression
of countenance as much as men
or animals. Some seem to
smile; some have a sad ex
pression; some are pensive and
difflcult; others aiiain are plain,
honest and iq>right, like the
broad-faced sunflower and the
hollyhock.”—Henry Ward
Beecher.
As the mid summer flowers
bloom, we can make beautiful
arrangements. We may have
expressions of moods and
personality by the flowers we

select for oiir arrangements.
The following rules will keep
our arrangements from wilting
so early. All flowers should be
placed in water overnight
before being arranged. Cut all
flowers with a sharp knife.
Flowers cut late in the af
ternoon will last 12 hours longer
than the ones cut in the mor
ning.
The following methods will
aid in conditioning your
flowers; To boil, place one and
one-half inch of the stem in
boiling water, or 110 degrees. To
char, place the stem over a
flame and burn the end, then
place in cold water. To harden
means to let stand in water until
they soak in a sufficient amount
of fluid.

The world is full of poetry.
The air is living with its spirit;
and the waves dance to the
music of its melodies, and
sparkle in its brightness.—
Percival.
True philosophy is that which
makes us to ourselves and to all
about us, better; and at the
same time, more content,
patient, calm, and more ready
for all decent and pure en-
joj^ent.—Lavater.
The history of persecution is a
history of endeavors to cheat
nature, to make water run
uphill, to twist a rope of sand. It
makes no difference whether
the actors be many or one, a
tyrant of a mob.—Emerson.
We realize that the peace we
enjoy is the absence of war,
rather than the presence of
confidence, understanding and
generous conduct.—Raymond
Gram Swing.
The true past departs not; no
truth or goodness realized by
man ever dies, or can die; but
all is still here, and recognized
or not, lives and works through
endless changes.—Carlyle.
The best men are not those
who have waited for chances
but who have taken them;
besieged the chance; conquered
the chance; and made chance
the servitor.—Chapin.
The man that hath not music
in himself, and is not mov^
with concord of sweet sounds, is
fit for treasons, stratagems,
and spoils; let no man trust
him.—Shakespeare.
L«t the day have a blessed
baptism by giving your first
waking thoughts into the bosom
of God. The first hour of the
morning is the rudder of the
day.—Beecher.
I am very doubtful whether
history shows us one example of
a man who, having stepped
outside rational morality and
attained power, has used that
power benevolently.—C. S.
Lewis.

the day, as they stand up better.
Use turpentine oil, sugar or salt
to close up the stem. Cut car
nations above the joint, and boil
the end of the stem. Place Boric
acid on the end of the carnation.
Put chrysanthemums in one-
half cup of sugar to a quart of
water. Cut dahUa stems and rub
alcohol or powdered aspirin in
the stem. I^t forget-me-nots in
boiling water and then in cold
water.
Break the stems of hydrangea
instead of cutting. Then char
the ends. Boil the ends of
marigolds. Add eight drops of
peppermint oil per quart. Place
zinnias in water immediately
after cutting. Should be har
dened before arranged.
Share your flowers with
others. Let them speak toe
"Language of the Flowers.”
Much of your time now may be
shared with the ones who could
not garden.

Oil shale in the United States
may hold 40 gallons of petroleum
to a ton of rock, but no one as
yet knows how to extract it eco-
nomicaUy or without ruining
thousands of square miles of the
western United States by strip
mining. The oil shale holds many
times the known oil reserves of
4S.4 billion barrels.
