ROSES June is called the month of roses, and it is a gicrious time in many homes when the roses are i blossom. In Key West, where it is June the year found, and roses bloom beautifully every day of @ery season, peoplé do not realize the joy the onth of roses brings farther north, where in any neighborhoods the climbing varieties have Been fashionable, and the homes thus decorated gem to acquire a sensational touch of beauty, as se sturdy little pushers make their way over Porches and pillars. A rose covered cottage has long been the dream of romantic people, and the timid bachelor gould make most any girl of that type marry him, & he would show her such a dwelling of her dreams & their future home. =| Roses have long been one of the most popular fowers. Countless varieties have been produced BF skilled florists, It was formerly said that more Bren 100,000,000. ent roses are sold annually in this country, and probably there are many more than that now, Warm and sunny spots in most soils will make them grow, and the people who plant-them are,rewarded for all efforts by their sunny and abundant beauty. seartere SYMPTOMS OF REVOLT Many suggestions have bee offered .recently, thal the people are not satisfied with the way the Republican administration is handling the problems of the nation. “There are the primaries held in Illinois and Pennsylvania, in which Republican senators closely allied to the Coolidge administration were turned down. There is the intense feeling in Iowa and near-by states, because the administration is not favpring the measures which they demand for re- lief of the farmers, The particular ideas which are leading to these various results and tendencies are not necessarily corfect and well based. But the sentiment revealed in these states shows that revolt is growing rapid 1 At this writing it looks very unlikely that the Republican party can control the congress to be elected next November. It is barely possible that it will have a nominal majority, but to figure out such a control, it seems certain that insurgent congressmen who rarely vote with the regular Republicans would have to be counted in. The sentiment of the country seems te be clearly that the policies of the administra tion that are merely temporizing with the evils trouble the country, and do not relieve the condi tron thet Lareass the people.

Comparing these figures with the wealth of the old recently given out by the national wealth amounting to world, we can see how much richer we are. Great Britain’s wealth, for. instance, was recently esti- mated at $130,000,000,000, and that of France at $90,000,000,000, and much more relatively of their | wealth is mortgaged in the form of heavy national debts.
