awrr mt ~ mm qremrinmg Chier sectritet * § By The Master Gardener Plans for the sixth annual Anâ€" tique Show sponsored by the Chiâ€" eago Rockford College club under the direction of Mrs. James M. Hobbs of Evanston are well under way. Recognized as one of the two finest shows of its kind ,it is to be held at the Woman‘s Club of Evansâ€" ton, opening Monday, May 20, and continuing through Friday, May 24. Over 30 dealers are to exhibit comâ€" ing from all over the country. Those alumnae interested in the past shows and already at work on this year‘s are: Mrs. John M. Compton of Glencoe, Alumnae representative; Mrs. Rusâ€" sell Figher, viceâ€"president of the Chicago Rockford College club, Mrs. Wayne Staley, Mrs. Lynn Stewart, Keag, Miss Margaret Ebeling, Miss Doris Tonk, all of Evanston; Mrs. O. N. Sellers, Mrs. John Page, of Wilmette; Mrs. Ralph Naylor of Winnetka; Mrs. Robert Neier, Mrs. ‘Thomas Gilmore, Miss Evelyn Wienâ€" ecke, of Gincoe; Miss Peggy Osborn of Highland Park; Mrs. Dick Grifâ€" fis of Lake Bluff; and Mrs. Newell C. Gilbert, president of the Chicago Rockford club;, Mrs, J. D. Smith and Mrs. Robert Hartman of Chicago. The lawn is the foundation upon which the landscaping plan depends. For this reason it must be a beauâ€" tiful green, color, possess a dense, vigorous turf, and be free from weeds. A lawn in poor condition detracts greatly from the beauty of the home, regardless of the excelâ€" lence of the other plantings. Lawns which have been carefully built and maintained will last for many years. Soil for the lawn: The lawn grasses possess the ability to adopt themselves to quite a wide range of soil conditions. A beautiful lawn can probably be more easily obtained on a loam soil than on either a lighter or heavier soil, but the home owner should not be discouraged if the soil at hand is either very light or very heavy. Where the soil is rather extreme for the best growth of grass, it is desirable to attempt to improve the texture of the soil. This can be done by the addition of a sandy material to a heavy soil, or of a clay material to a light soil, or by resurfacing the area with three or four inches of a desirable loam or sandy loam soil. These operations usually involve considerable work and expense, but are justified by the better results that will be obâ€" tained and by the smaller effort which will be necessary for the upâ€" keep of the lawn after it is estabâ€" lished. Preparation of the soil: The opâ€" erations involved in the preparaâ€" tion of the soil depend largely upon the size of the area to be seeded. If the area is large enough to warâ€" rant, the soil may be plowed, then disked two or three times, and finâ€" ally harrowed to pulverize it comâ€" pletely. If the area does not permit the use of such implements, it is necesâ€" sary to spade the soil and then to use a rake or similar tool to pulâ€" verize. The simple task of spading must be done in the right way in order to produce the most desirable seed bed. As each shovelful of dirt is taken up, it should be placed on the far side of the hole, away from the spader, and struck with suffiâ€" cient force with the spade to pulverâ€" ize it. If the spading operation is careâ€" fully done, the soil will be quite well pulverized, even in the lower depths of the seed bed. All that remgins to be done is to pulverize the surâ€" face a few inches by the use of the garden rake. After the surface is in a desirable granular condition, it should be made perfectly smooth so that no depressions exist for the colâ€" lection of water. It is generally possible to do this leveling with the rake, as the surface soil is pulverâ€" ized. The seed bed should be given a gradual slope from the house to inâ€" sure proper runâ€"off of excessive moisture. Ordinarily a slope of oneâ€" eighth to oneâ€"fourth inch to the foot is sufficient to allow for surface drainage. Your Lawn Needs Food!

I was amazed and interested in the number of our townsmen guished them, and of whom special recognition has been taken. My thoughts then turned to one of our local women, one who has been for many years identified with educsâ€" tional, religious and community inâ€" terests, one to whom unusual and very significant honors have been awarded, and, because of her own modesty, very few know anything about them . Highland Park has grown and has changed so, within the last decade. So many new families bave moved here, that while once the name of Mrs. Francis D. Everett was recognized immediately and alâ€" most universally, to many she is now a complete stranger. Her failâ€" ing health within the last few years, following the death of ber husband in 1937, has caused her to withdraw from all activities, in fact at the and has been, for over a year. ‘ As one who came here a stranger 15 years ago, I can not refrain from paying this tribute to one who was the first to welcome me, to invite me to variqys organizations with which she was affiliated, and whose friendâ€" ship throughout the years, has been very precious to me. In frequent visits to her bedâ€"side, I have found her still as mentally alert as ever, ‘eager for word from the world without, and steadily and persistâ€" ently I have drawn from her some of the facts I am sure folks will be interested in, and about which they ought to be informed. Mrs. â€" Everett, then Elizabeth Hawley Bowen, came here in 1894, from Lificoln, Nebraska, where she had been active in educational afâ€" fairs, the president of the Nebraska State Association of School Superâ€" intendents and Principals. She came to Highland Park as superintendent of schools of District 107, and four years later resigned that position and became the wife of Mr. Everett. Together they worked and labored for the best for this community, in which their interests were manifold, She organized the four elemenâ€" tary divisions of the Presbyterian Church school, and for many years superintended each of the divisions; was meanwhile president of the Ossoli club, then the only woman‘s club in Highland Park; was secreâ€" tary of the Illinois Equal Suffrage association; and a member of the National Board of the Y.W.C.A. For 32 years she was a trustee of the Highland Park library, for eight of these the president of its board. During her presidency the present library was erected. To this splendid woman came the very highest honor which could be vouchsafed by the women of Illinois, the presidency of the Illinois Fedâ€" eration of Women‘s clubs. This was from 1908 to 1910, and at the time of her election, there was no opposâ€" UnusuUaAL Sroams | YOU DONFT KNOW WHAT YOURE MISSING xn YOU missing half the pleasure of motoring without even knowâ€" ing it?

For eight years she served the state and the nation in some official club position. _ Her membership in the D. A.

For this splendid achievement in January of this year, she was awarded a most significant honor, elected to membershipâ€"a Fellowâ€" of the Institute of American Genâ€" ealogy and given a Certificate of Merit in recognition of her original research and contribution to the Archieves of American Genealogy. As a tribute to her work in the field of women‘s clubs she was reâ€" cently advised that an acre of trees, one thousand to be exact, had been planted in her honor in Shawnee National Forest in cooperation with Certainly few women have been thus recognized in this distinguished manner. But in addition‘ to these tributes to her, are to be found a gratitude, a love, a deep appreciaâ€" tion of her understanding helpfulâ€" ness over difficult barriers, which may be found in the hearts of many men and women, who, as girls and boys were privileged to know her and call her friend. That loyalty and interest in the student will never fail, and is now being fanned by her eager participation in the experiences and progress of her grandâ€"daughter, all she has left of her own immediate family, and who entered college this fall. Betty has a precious heritage of which she will be increasingly aware as time goes on, in this woman to whom Highland Park will always owe a debt of honor and gratitude.â€"Conâ€" tributed, \QualityCleaners TYPEWRITERS RELIABLE LAUNDRY ~ AND DRY CLEANING CO.
