EXPERIENCE 
"I have no hesitation in saying it that your ad 
is as honest as Abe Lincoln’s might be, and 
your rugs fully justify any praise you might 
give them. One certainly would look long and 
far to find so choice a collection in the stores.” 
—Opinion of America’s foremost collector. 
Allow me to present you with my booklet show’- 
ing still other proofs, and demonstrating that 
you will not get best value until you see my 
rugs in your home — I will put them in your 
hands without obligation. My list describes 
many scores of gem antique masterpieces. 
Write for it at once.

Much has been learned during these- 
later years of the migratory birds, but. 
much remains to be learned. Not a month 
passes without additional information ont 
some phase of the migration of some spe¬ 
cies appearing in the ornithological mag¬ 
azines. The migration route and the win¬ 
ter home are known now in more or less 
detail of every species of United States 
bird except the chimney swift. Where 
the millions of this well-known bird pass 
the winter has not yet been ascertained. 
Their progress southward in the fall 
across the United States can be traced: 
and timed until they reach the northern 
coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Then they 
start out over its water and become lost 
to our knowledge. The next spring they 
return in countless thousands, but where 
they have spent the five intervening 
months is thus far an unsolved mystery. 
Cosmos After Frost 
L AST fall, quite by accident, I hap¬ 
pened upon a pleasing discovery re¬ 
garding the cosmos plant. 
As usual, just as these plants began to 
flower prolificly in my garden, Jack Frost 
put in an appearance. One afternoon late 
in September the wind veered suddenly to 
the north, the mercury dropping steadily 
until there was no doubt that freezing 
weather was actually close at hand. So 
cold grew the air that there seemed not 
the slightest hope that temporary covering 
of any kind could save the glory of the 
cosmos plants and the only course left ap¬ 
peared to be the picking of the blossoms 
that their beauty might be enjoyed a few 
more days inside the house. My hands 
grew numb with the cold as I pulled the 
blossoms and in the wild hurry to save 
each flower one strong thrifty plant, fully 
four feet high, was unearthed bodily. The 
soil was so dry that not a particle of it ad¬ 
hered to the roots. Someway, I could not 
bear to leave the plant in this bare un¬ 
covered condition to the ravages of the 
cold, and although possessing not the 
slightest hope that the plant in question 
would live, I hastily filled an old leaky tin 
pail with earth, planted the cosmos in it, 
carrying the plant into the house along 
with the cut flowers. 
That night the ground froze solid and 
the beauty of every growing thing was laid 
low. Great was my surprise and joy, how¬ 
ever, to find that the cosmos plant I had 
brought into the house apparently was 
suffering no ill effects from its rude up¬ 
rooting, the leaves giving no sign of wilt¬ 
ing and the flower buds standing as fresh 
and wiry as when growing out of doors. 
For a few days the plant was kept in a 
shady corner of the room and the roots 
were watered faithfully. When the flower 
buds began to unfold, however, the plant 
was moved near a sunny window. 
Until Christmas time the plant was
