Simple and Interesting
Strangely enough it is far more
difficult to design a formal garden
with its straight rows and paths
▪ it is to create one with curves
amps and a general informal
t. Anyone with a string, of
e, can plant perfectly straight
rows of petunias or roses or tulips
but it takes an expert to make a
g arden likethat look really at -1
tractive.
The average person with average
11 and on average lot is far
better advised to stick to the
;simple, and nine times out of ten,
more interesting informal Payout.
In this, of course, along the
straight walls of our house or the
boundary fences, there will be no
j chance for weaving at the hark, but
' iby planting ,in clumps and beds
of various widths and curving
edges we get an informal appear-
ance at the front. As a rule the
bigger 'flowers and taller shrubbery
go at the tack but just to break
the Monotony we occasionally
bring We also
plant in groups of two or three to
adoa�en of each species depending
upon size, rather than as single
individual .specimens.
In thecentre of almost any
gardenlayout, no matter how
small, ,will be a piece of lawn and
around that we group flowers and
shrubbery. Rather than hide all
thefoundation line of the house,
or all of an '''attraotive wall or
fence, we leave irregular spaces
here and there between clumps of
shrubbery or beds of flowers. Ilf
the garden is a fair size, too, it is
an excellent plan to arrange trees,
shrubbery and taller flowers so that
part of the layeut is hidden and
only revealed when the visitor
1 moves along. If possible have a
curving path rather than a straight
one but make sure there is sane
reason for the curve ev' n if you
have to make one by planting a
tree or a clump of shrubs.
'Vegetable Groups
Vegetables divide themselves
into several main groups. There
are those that are hardy like let-
tuce, radish, the first potatoes,
carrots, ;beets, cabbage, peas and

t ckache is often caused by lazy kidney
action. When kidneys get out of order,
excess acids and wastes remain in the
system. Then backache, disturbed rest
or that tired -out and heavy -headed fc<eloig
may soon follow. That's the time to take
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's stiim .late
the kidneys to normal action. Then you

e
such t tings.t nese can be planted
almost as Soon as the aolll Ls s8it
to. work. They will not mind a
touch s r. frost.
Then there are the mi -ten for
things like the main planting of
,po'tatoes, ,beans, corn and so On.
These should not be planted until
danger of (frost is oveer and the
soil and air are t eginning to warm
out.
At the end, are the really tender
tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, pep-
pers, etc. Frost will kill these
instantly and they will not thrive
until both soil and sun are really
warm.
From all of this the beginner
should not decide to plant all of
his vegetables in the order men-
tioned. These dlreetions are only
for the first of each group. In
order to spread out the garden,
both for flowers and vegetables,
it is vital to spread out the seeding
dates.
Most experienced gardeners
'make at least three plantings of
standard! vegetables like carrots,
lettuce, corn, beans and peas.
They plant one third as early as
possible, another third from. two
to three weeks later and the' last
thin 1 later again. 1n this way
the harvest is Spread over weeks
instead of just a few days.

WINDOW EPISODE
A 17 -year-old student was fined
$10 and costs for 'throwing a beer
'bottle through a window of Gode-
rich District Collegiate Institute.
Appearing in court here last week,
the youth pleaded guilty to wil-
fully damaging the window, but he
claimed he really intended the
bottle to strike the wall.
PoliceChief F. M. Hall said that
the youth haspaid to have the
pane replaced in the window. The
offence occurred on February 14.

Leads Into Court.
Pleading guilty to ilnpairC~d driv-
ing, Stuart MacLennan, of Illi';. 3,
Goderich, was fined $75 and costs
or 10 days in jail.
When the case was aired in
equrt here last week, Crown At-
torney H. Glenn Hays explained
that the offence eecurred on Feb-
ruary 5 in Ashfield Township.
It had been snowing, said Mr.
Hays, and• a patrolling police of-
ficer had his suspicions aroused
by some unusual tire tracks made
by a vehicle which had passed
!before hien.
The tracks reminded one oaf a
corkscrew, said the crown attor-
ney. Following the zigzag trail,
the officer found MacLennan some-
what the worse for liquor.
"Too much corkscrew!" observed
Magistrate D. E (Holmes as he pass-
ed sentence.
For failing to file income tax
returns on time, J. J. Hoggarth,
of Goderich, was fined $50 and
costs. He informed the court that
the returns have been filed since
the laying of the charge.
"Army" To . Rescue
Charged with vagrancy, Martin
'Murray, 37, of Kitchener, was re-
leased in care of Lieut. Roger
Southbloom, of the Salvation Army.
Magistrate Holmes was slightly
puzzled as to what to do with
Murray until Lieut. Southbloom
offered to pay the man's fare back
to his home, and also give him a
letter of recommendation to Sal-
vation Army people in Kitchener.
Murray did , not look like the
usual type of vagrant, the magis-
trate noted. The man was arrested
after someone complained that he
tried to enter a farmhouse in the
area. Murray said he had been
seeking employment on a. farm.

OUT ON A -LIMB
WITH BOLL SMILEY
Did you read that story in the
papers the other day about Lance
Revenblow celebrating his 21st
birthday?
In ceso you didn't, I'll fill you in.
Someday you may have the plea-
sure of filling me in, With a
shove. At any rate, Lance is the
son o Barbara Hutton, Woolworth
heiress. She's got more money
than Walter Harris.
* a *
Lance is her son by her marriage
to Count Von Haugwitz Reventlow,
whom she wed 24 hours after
divorcing Prince Alexis Mdivani.
She is nom married to Baron
Gottfried Von 'Cramm. Now is
that perfectly clear.
*
Know what she gave Lambe for
his 21st birthday? She gave him
a brand new, $500,000 home atop
a mountain in everley Hills. Now,
think that's going a bit too far.
She's going to spoil that kid, first
thing you know. A couple of
Cadiltacs, yes. A yacht, maybe.
But a house that's worth half a
million is a bit vulgar.
When I read the headline of this
sl cry, my first feeling was a touch
of envy. But as I got into the
body 'b(f it, I realized that this
fabulous house didn't have any-
thing mine didn't. At least nothing
to make me lose any sleep over.

At first glance, Lance might seem
to have a slight edge in properties.
Designed to his specifications, it
is his pride and joy. Mine was
designed by an eccentric who drew
up the plans in coilaboration with
Anne of Green Gables, it squats
in the middle of a flat acre of
rutted lawn and cedar hedge gone
native, and is my horror ana fre-
quent mortification.
But from there on, we're even,
and I'm a little more even than he
is, in spots. For example, his
Young Pig Thieves
Free On Probation
Thanks To Victims
By the grace of the famlers theY
had victimized, two Wintelam dis-
trict youths were released on pro-
bation when they appeared before
Magistrate D. E Eictrnes to be
stenced tfor stealing 16 pigs.
In police court here -last Thurs-
day, farmers Charles Johnston, of
Norris Township, and Max Bell, of
Howiek Township, gave their con-
sent to suspended sentences for
Charles E. Bosman and Lawrence
E. Cameron.
"This is a serious offence," stat-
ed Magistrate Holmes in releasing
the youths in care of the probation
officer. "1 wouldn't think of doing
it without the consent ofthose
'whose pigs were stolen."
To Bosman and Cameron, the
magistrate said, "P.ersonally, I
think you can thank° your lucky
stars that two people who lost
their livestock are willing to agree
to giving you this chance."
The youths will remain on pro-
bation for two years and were
ordered to pay court costs. When
the case was aired at an earlier
court, it was announced that resti-
tution had been made.
According to evidence, t h e
youths had taken the stolen pigs
to sale tarns at Clinton and Lis-
towel and sold them.

On a clear day, I can see a nice
