WE ARE FEATURING A New Fall Line OF- s uits for Boys Ages 8 to 17 Years, at $9 to $12 WE SCOTT'S Many Hardy Annuals Can Be Sown in the Fall Every time that nature produces annual Cowers in our gardens from sell-sown seed, she demonstrates that annuals can be grown from seed sown in the fall. The list of annuals which can self seed may vary in different sec tions of the country, but it is proba ble that annual larkspur and corn flowers (centaurea cyanus) will be on the list almost anywhere. These and other subjects may be grown from seed sown in the fall; and many authorities advise that larkspurs . be so grown wherever possible. - Plants from fall sowing get started much earlier in the spring; and they flower almost as soon as indoor plants, besides be ing much larger and more vigorous. The list of subjects may safely in clude all annuals which usually self sow in your neighborhood, and any other varieties which are hardy, and have small, hard seeds, with which you are willing to take a chance for the sake of earlier plants. Large, soft seeds, even of hardy varieties, may decay in the wet ground, but the hard seeds will lie safe if pro tected from being washed out of the soil by rains, or injury in some other way. Nature is" always lavish; and much of the seed she sows, no doubt, is lost. With purchased seed one will probably wish to be more careful. A seed bed surrounded by a wood en curb is an excellent place to sow fall annuals. A cold frame will do as well; and many sow seeds in the open garden, where experience has shown drainage is good If seeds are sown in rows, which can be marked, it is easy to check results and pro tect the seedlings when they appear. Sow the seed thinly, mixing small seed with dry sand to help scatter it, and do not sow much deeper than you would in the spring. Many gardeners cover the row with a shal low layer of sand after sowing. In a seed bed. or cold frame, after the ground has frozen a light mulch of leaves may be placed over the bed to keep the frost in. This mulch FIRST AID TRAINING IMPORT ANT RED CROSS FUNCTION First Aid training of Americans is an important element of peace time preparedness. This volunteer army of men and women, boys and girls, trained by the Red Cross to render first aid in any emergency, already numbers more than two and a quarter million and is increasing at a tremendous rate. The rising tide of traffic accidents caused the Red Cross to broaden its activities in the past few years and to include the training of personnel and approval of equipment for a sys tem of highway first aid stations and first aid mobile units throughout the country, which are increasing daily. Firemen, policemen, factory and office employees, farmers, CCC and WPA workers, coast guard members. high school and college students and thousands of civilians in every walk of life are being trained. This vast army of first aid trainees are not only contributing greatly to the re duction of accidental death and in jury, but they are well qualified to cope with any accident or emer gency. Since 1935 the American Red Cross has established nearly 6,000 highway stations and mobile units throughout the United States. Sever al of these are in Cass county. Through your support of the Red Cross by giving them your member ship, you will enable them to care CALIFORNIA TOAST TO WINE WEEKI - x i When the curtains were drawn and the tapers lighted on cool company evenings, colonial Americans knew that fragrant, frothy mups of one of their favorite hot wine drink? would soon appear upon the festive stone. Such deli ghtf ul expressions of warm hearted hospitality are being enthusi astically revived in modern American homes these days where the fine native grown wines of California serve as the inspiration.

MAKE HAMD50ME BOQUETS OF ANNUALS. should be removed before the seeds sprout in the spring. Annuals which are usually suc cessful from fall sowing include alyssum, snapdragons, cacalia, ca lenciula, calliopsis, candytuft, cert taurii cyanus, clarkia, cosmos, esVucholtzia, euphorbia, gypsophi la, 1-rkspur, lupin, nicotiana. pe tunia annual phlox, annual poppies and sweet peas. Conditions in the spring are usu ally fine for transplanting and plants may be moved from the seed bed to the border about the time one would be sowing seed in the spring. The fall sown plants are not soft like those grown indoors and receive little or no check from transplanting. for more victims of accidents.
