Although well-designed garden'll are liecoming numerous most! home owners are content with the layout of their home grounds which was given them by the sul-j divider. That is. they accept the I sidewalks, back fence and side boundaries as sufficient delinea- j lion of their garden area and pro ' l ceed to plant little or much with-, iin this area without further 1 I attempt at design. In some cases tfiere is resistance | to the idea of designing, a feeling I I lhat outdoors calls for informal i ity, and that any interference with I haphazard arrangement is stiff: and pretentious. Jt may be so. I indeed, but on the ether hand, n' really beautiful expression of the, feeling of informality in a garden I calls for a degree of designing' i skill much greater th in formality i and stiffness require. A house miKht be built without j I design. The windows might he; lot varying sizes and placed with - lout consideration of balance. Th . I looms might be of irregular shapes i ami the contour of the roof un ; studied. Such a house would noi I be any more “informal” than perhaps a majority of our homej gionnds. Act few would consent I to live in it. The revolt against | haphazard gardens i not so cor der. the confetasce opens in the I Claypool Hotel general assembly i l room at 9:30 o'clock Monday morn i ing.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, FEBRUARY IS. 1932.

I tain, perhaps, because of the ■ beauty of the materials of which i a garden is nude. Nature always designs. Every plant is a beautiful thing, complying with the laws of composition. It is only in the arrangement of i these things of beauty that the i usual garden violates these laws. The gardener who not only makes a I id arrangement but uses his pruning knife to destroy the nat-* , oral beauty of his plants and i shrubs is fortunately becoming j less numerous. The most conspicuous examples iof ba<| arrangements are to be found in trees It is Impossible to ' overlook or disguise a badly ' planted tree. After a few years ' a mistake in tree planting is difficult to correct. Nothing gives ' more beauty to the home than well-placed trees or detracts more I than liadly placed trees. The first object in planting , trees is to create a picture by framing the house and giving it background.' Tall trees should not lie planted in front of the hou.-.e wheie they will screen the view unless it is desired to hide some i portion of the building. A sec- | ondary object in tree planting is to provide shade. (tine business will be interspersed I by a Pesponse from the Rev. John !

She has won numerous local and sectional chanrtptonships. Her father is A. Fontana, dairy rancher near here For 13 years he has operated his dairy, keeping the best con • he could buy. Mary has done a large 1 part of the milking. Today Fontana has a herd of 24 producing milk cows. He says he intends soon to increase it to sti. Fontana keeps a total of about lilt) head of cattle on his 80-act ' ranch, including old und young stock and dry cows. Ho also runs 20 head of sheep and Mrs. Fontana maintains a flock of 75 laying hens. Mary Fontana, champion milk maid, starts her day at 5 A.

England Mourns Favorite Mystery Thriller Author * * * * * * Death of Edgar Wallace in Hollywood Robbed Britain of Most Prolific Writer of Thriil Stories and Plays—King George Among His Fans. j ' ■ ' 1J ' K-’ A-. 411 Dicvr v‘---a Story c/ Edgar 'MaH'ACI > 11 The recent death in Hollywood of Edger Wallace, noted author, was regarded in hit native England at something clo.ely approaching a national calamity. Wallace’t books were as familiar in the English household as the teacup and saucer, being read in every stratum of society—from Buckingham Palace to the humblest laborers cottage. Like most figures who rose to national prominence, Wallace had humble beginnings. A fatherless, motherless waif, he was adopted by a London fishmonger when he was only nine days old. He sold newspapers at 10 and at 20 was in the British Army in South Africa, where he first darted to write as correspondent for a London paper twenty years ago. Wallace started to write fiction and in the period that has since elapsed had 150 novels to his credit, besides many plays, short stories and hundreds of magaiine articles. He was an amazingly prolific and rapid worker, having written many of his best books in a few days. •Most of his work was dictated into a recording machine Wallace came to Hollywood last December and amazed the movie moguls by completing his first assignment —a story oi 60,000 words —between Friday and Monday.

Los Angeles, —The recent death at his Beverly Hills home here of 1 Edgar Wallace, noted English writer, .narked the final curtain of onoi >t the most remarkable careers of modern times. A winter of mystery stories, nov els, plays. and special articles. Waiace was one of the most proliiic ; authors the world has ever seen. Read in every stratum of society from king to butcher boy. his books | were as familiar in the English household as the teacup and sauier i atql his passing is mourned in the English capital as if n ■ belonged to i ihe royal family Like many great figures ,w'ao , have flashed meteorlike across the I pages of history, Wallace had hum ole beginning’s. Born in 1575, a fatherless ami motherless wail, he . was saved Horn an upbringing in the workhouse by his adoption at at the age ot nine days by a poor fishmonger of Loudon's | icturcsqiie Billingsgate. Though his foster-father had a arge family of his own, he did the best he could for the child he. had i sated, and, in fact gave it a beter education than his own children. ! Wallace bad barely reached the i ago of ten when he began l.i earn his own living selling newspapers I and in three more years he had | quit si lunil and was supporting j Himself by a variety of odd jobs. In his late teens he joined the | British Army and was sent to South Arica, where he drilled into Hie; Medical Corps. Here he had much ; leisure which bo devoted to writ- J ing. finding that he bad a natural j attitude for the pen. With the outbreak of the Boer : War, Wallace secured a position ■ as correspondent tor the Loudon ( Daily Mail and Renier's News Agency, which boosted his salary ot 53 a week, army pay, to $3,000 a year big money at that time for a writer. After the war, Wallace, woo hud now acquired a writing' facility that ■ was nothing short of amazing. <on-| tinned newspaper work until about ; twenty yeai > ago, wli n he began i substitute is the immediate prob ' Icm on which we am working." Colonel Knox, in response to at query as to whether it would be "a baby bond" issue with deuotn illations as low as SSO. said. I can t talk about those detail • just yet. "The form es security, bow ever. I .can tell you will satisfy; the demand for this substitute for; | currency and one of the qualities I which must be met in that, demand j | is that the substitute must be in I small sums " Colonel Knox was optimistic I ' that the commission's efforts to' end hoarding would be effective i “The response «nd eagerness to. restore money to circulation," he|

to write fiction. Contrary to popu--1 lar belief, he did not make a phenomenal success overnight, but he ! inally convinced publishers that be : had the goods. From then on. his career was always upward Novels, plays, maga- ; zine articles and >.iort stories, not to mention odds and ends, flowed i from his pen in a nover-ending stream. He acquired a public, a circle reader# that waited breathlessly ; for his every newlyborq brainchild. I In fa t, it was not considered good . form in Ixmdon not to be a Wallace 1 fan more especially since King George eons ssed that the writer of myster: s was his favorite author. It has been estimated that Wallace wrote 15D novels in his career, I whose sales amounted to 5,000,000 i copies a y ar. To give an idea of his proli ic writer's capacity; one years work was 20 books, on racing. itis favorite sport, aud the same amount of theatrical criticism, besides a host of articles he regarded as not worth the mention. Wallace worked long hours, often starting at I a. in. ami talking steadily in- ; lo a dictating .nachine for hours on lend. Many of his best books and j plays wi re written in three or four I days. Wh'll Wallace came lo llolly- ■ wood in December, Ilin amazing reclord had preceded him. However. . many of the moguls of moviedom ■ are from Missouri and did not. beI iieve that one nan could possibly | have accomplished as much as was I claimed for the English writer. Wallace reported tor work last I month al one of the film studios 'and received his first assignment. The 'lay happened to be Friday.
