House and Garden 
Vitis odorata, the sweet-scented wild 
grape, would do well there. 
There are several things suitable to 
be grown on the six foot lattice work 
in front of the barn. Lophosperniuin 
scandens, an annual, or at least treated 
as one, planted about eighteen inches 
apart, would soon cover it, and until 
late in the fall produce numerous 
trumpet shaped pink flowers. You 
would have to get some florist to start 
the plants for you. 
The annual gourds might be interest¬ 
ing in such a situation, Loeb’s climbing 
nasturtiums would cover it and be bright 
in color, but they might lose their lower 
foliage unless well cared for. 
Here again I would suggest something 
permanent. Forsythia suspensa (golden 
bells) is a rapid growing shrub, with 
drooping, slender branches, which in 
early spring are entirely covered with 
golden bells. These come before the 
foliage and entirely cover the plant. It 
would reach the top of the trellis and 
droop out and down. 
Among the climbing honeysuckles 
are some choice things, hardy in your 
climate. A mixture of planting of 
Hall’s Japan honeysuckle, Lonicera 
Halleana, and L. Japonica would cover 
it well, produce sweet-scented flowers 
nearly all summer and their foliage 
would be almost evergreen. Tecoma 
radicans var. grandiflora, an improved 
form of the trumpet flower would do. 
CHAPTERS IN RURAL PROGRESS* 
^ I ^HE increasing interest m rural 
matters, springing from the re¬ 
newed devotion to outdoor life, and now 
including the technical aspects of modern 
agriculture, is gradually being broad¬ 
ened to embrace the field of economical 
and social investigations. At present 
the literature regarding the sociological 
phases of rural life is particularly 
meager. 
President Butterfield’s book empha¬ 
sizes the social aspects of rural commu¬ 
nities and describes some of the newer 
movements resulting in the expansion 
of country life. The book offers no 
complete analysis of the rural problem, 
but presents some of the more significant 
phases of it, and describes some of the 
agencies at work in solving it. To the 
sociologist it will be of deep interest.

one householder 
ten realizes the 
health-importance of a 
sanitary bathroom. But 
when you consider for a 
minute that the health- 
barometer of the entire home 
is governed absolutely by do¬ 
mestic sanitary conditions, and 
that its rise or fall is largely regu¬ 
lated by the sanitary or unsanitary 
condition of the bathroom, you can 
readily see the extreme necessity for equipping your 
bathroom with only the most sanitary fixtures. 
Porcelain Enameled Ware 
is the standard of sanitary equipments for the home. 
“Green & Gold” Label Fixtures, because of their smooth, non- 
absorbent surfaces without joint or crevice, their one-piece construction, and the 
indestructibility of their snowy enameling, are sanitary to the highest degree and 
safe-guard the health of your home as no other fixtures can. Genuine 
Ware lasts longer, is more beautiful, and gives greater satisfaction in use than any other plumbing 
system in the world. You can equip your home throughout with “Green & Gold” 
Label Fixtures for the same price you would pay for unguaranteed and unsanitary equipment. 
There is but one way to solve your sanitary problem—satisfactorily—economic¬ 
ally—and for all time. Equip with genuine "i^tandat'd” Porcelain Enameled 
Ware and look for the label to make sure you are getting what you specify.

A Butler’s Pantry Door 
should swing both ways; should close gently and 
without noise and stop at once at the centre 
without vibrating. The only way to accomplish 
this is to use the “BARDSLEY” CHECKING 
HINGE. It goes in the floor under the door and 
there are no ugly projections on the door.
