COLDWELL 
Combination Roller and Motor Mower 
The Coldwell motor mower rolls and mows at the same time — it saves 
the extra trip over the lawn. 
It does the work of three horse mowers. 
It climbs 25 per cent grades easily — there are very few places where it 
can’t go. 
For smaller lawns and for trimming the corners, Coldwell horse and hand 
mowers are the best of their kind. 
Coldwell mowers are made in 150 styles and sizes. Let us send you 
our motor mower book.

four hours. We are fifteen miles from a 
railroad, and that is the blessedness of it. 
A railroad brings the mob, a board-walk, 
moving picture shows, a brass band, shoot¬ 
ing galleries, refreshment stands and all 
the horrors of a popular resort. So long 
as the artist-architect holds the destinies 
of Land’s End in his hand, the green pe¬ 
ninsula will never become a place of that 
sort. Now it is simply a blessed spot out¬ 
side the feverish, throbbing, workaday 
world, where for a few weeks or a few 
months the man or woman, who loves the 
life God intended us to live, may drop off 
the edge of the hemisphere. Into what? 
Well, into perfect stillness, where nothing 
disturbs except the scream of gulls, the 
sough of the wind through the tree 
branches, and the song of the birds. 
The sun brings an odor from pine and 
spruce which is more fragrant than any¬ 
thing of which you can dream. Have you 
ever smelled the pungent odor of a blue¬ 
berry pasture, where juniper is tangled 
among bayberry shrubs, low pine and a 
score of matted vines for which I have 
no name? Add to this a whiff from the 
clam flats when the tide goes out, and an 
odor of fresh cut hay. I assure you it is 
worth while coming straight to Maine to 
smell! 
At Land’s End we are friendly or not, 
as we please, with folks who love what we 
do; the simplicity of clothes and of liv- 
ing, homes which are plain, restful, and 
yet artistic. There is good fellowship at 
Land's End if you wish it. There is lone¬ 
liness if you choose. 
I have not spoken of white moonlight 
nights, of sunrises and sunsets. I cannot. 
It is hopeless work trying to paint with 
dull, gray ink pictures which glow with 
color. But — if you would see a sunset 
which will live ’in your memory when 
Maine is a thousand miles away — come to 
Land’s End! 
Making Friends with the Birds 
(Continued from page 2 7) 
after some apparent indecision determined 
upon the neiv quarters. Much of the sea¬ 
son was before them, and perhaps birds, 
too. relish novelty. At any rate the drab 
female is now, in these first days of July, 
sitting upon four other blue eggs, her mate 
attending with fresh enthusiasm. I hope 
that they may again prosper, for in that 
matter I feel something of a landlords- 
responsibility. 
Baths For the Birds 
t N many gardens bird baths are being 
substituted for the more conventional 
sun dial, and the plan is a happy one. 
There is plenty of room for both on large 
estates, but in a little formal garden with 
a single ornamental feature of this nature, 
an attractive bird bath is a source of much 
pleasure, if properly constructed. A com-
