He was tnen state engineer and I was associated with the roads and bridges committee. I am his sup porter, but believe he is wrong in this nstance. "The gasoline tax has always been a sacred tax with me and I oppose its use for purposes other than for roads and bridges.

I also hear from some other ources that it is not satisfactory in he neighboring state. "But why not give it a trial here? et us support a sales tax for relief luring this emergency period and ater apply it as replacement. I am lot for a sales tax which is in the ature of an additional tax."

FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES One of the pleasant things about growing a garden is the flowers that nay be brought into the house for lecoratiou. Nothing so much empha sizes the summer season, as summer lowers, and to be able to bring them indoors, where their cheerful color ind fragrance will lift the spirts in any room. Is adding to the satisfac tion of growing them. Many ornamental plantings will aot allow much cutting because of disrupting the contours of bed or bor der. If you have such a situation to cope with, your best resource Is a cutting garden in the vegetable patch, where annuals may be grown in rows, or as a border trim. They will dress up that section of the gar- Jen and furnish flowers to cut in abundance. Here you can grow every type and color of annual, without troubling about appearance.
