n TIPS to (jardeners BULB SUBSTITUTES \X/ITH the supply of many popu- “ v lar spring-flowering bulbs cut off because of the war in Europe, gardeners are seeking certain sub-' stitutes. The color and form of many an nual flowers makes them excellent' choices for replacing the bulb fa vorites. As in the case of bulbs, the seed of these annuals may be planted in the early fall, for bios-' soming early the following sum mer. The fresh yellow color of Daf fodils, for instance, may be cap- 1 tured nearly as well in the petals of Sunshine Calendula, or in the rich hues of California Poppy (Ex-, tea Golden). The shape of the California Poppy and the Shirley Poppy closely approaches the typ ical Tulip shape. The soft colors associated with the Tulip may be replaced best by Larkspur, with its tints of white, blue, pink, rose, lilac, and carmine. The newer, tall-growing Super Majestic Larkspurs are most de sirable. The blossom-crowded spikes of Snapdragons are likened by many to the Hyacinth. It is best to grow the dwarf rust-resistant strains of Snapdragon, with attractive vari eties such as Compact Bedding Bronze, and Salmon Pink adapt able also because of their suitabil ity for massed bedding, as Tulips are so often used.

DOANS Pi LLS McCORMLCK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S.X^ THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1941 ■ S » ■ i 'V ■ " fri " * 1 ' ' ' hdf. Zlma Scott WatiOH (Released by Western Newspaper Union.! Massacre in Modoc-Land IN Crown Hill cemetery in Indian- 1 apolis, Ind., stands a massive monument which bears this simple Inscription: “Edward Richard Sprigg Canby, Brigadier General and Brevet Major General, U. S. Army.” This grassy wooded hillside in the Middle West is a far cry from a wild and desolate region out on the Pacific coast—the Lava Beds of southern Oregon. Yet there is a connection between these two widely separated places. In 1872 a little band of Modoc In dians, led by Chief Kei-in-to-poses, commonly known as Captain Jack, left the reservation because the Klamath Indians there refused to let them live in peace. They returned to their ancestral homes on the Lost river and when the military was called upon to drive them back, they fled to the Lava Beds, where they inflicted heavy losses upon the sol diers in several engagements. For several months this “war” dragged along until the government, having failed to whip the Modocs, decided to try another method of conquering them. A peace commis- GEN. E. R. S. CANBY lion, cbmposed of General Canby, commander of the Department of the Pacific, Rev. Eleazer Thomas, a Methodist minister, and two for mer Indian agents, A. B. Meacham and L. S. Dyar, was sent to settle the difficulties. After several unsat isfactory conferences, another meet ing was arranged for April 11, 1873, to be held in the Modoc stronghold near Tule lake. The commissioners, accompanied by Frank Riddle, a frontiersman, and his Modoc wife, Tobey Riddle (Wi-ne-ma, the “Woman Chief”), as interpreters, were to meet Captain Jack and his warriors, unarmed and under a flag of truce. Meanwhile a plot had been hatched among the Modocs to murder the peace com missioners. At first. Captain Jack refused to have anything to do with the scheme. But when his warriors put a woman’s hat and shawl on him and taunted him for being a coward, he finally consented. No sooner was the plot laid than it was betrayed to Tobey Riddle by one of her Modoc friends and she immediat e 1 y warned Canby against keeping his rendezvous with the Indians. His reply was that of a soldier: “It is my duty to go.” He did not be lieve the Modocs would carry out their purpose with so many soldiers near at hand. The other commis sioners were not so sure and one of them proposed that they go to the meeting armed. This Canby also refused to do. So they set out for the Indian stronghold. The insolent behavior of the warriors soon convinced the commissioners that Tobey Riddle’s warning had been a true one. The climax came when one of the Mo docs demanded that all the soldiers be removed from the country and Canby refused to grant the demand. A moment later the Indians drew concealed weapons and opened fire. Canby, Thomas and Meacham were shot down. Dyar and Riddle fled for their lives with the bullets whiv- tling around them. Tobey Riddle was clubbed to the ground but Cap tain Jack intervened to save her life. When a warrior started to scalp Meacham, who was still alive, she cried out “Soldiers coming!” Her quick wit saved Meacham’s life, for the murderers immediately fled. The tragedy of the Lava Beds was over. • • • Later Captain Jack and his war riors were captured when some of the very Indians, who had called him a coward and forced him to con sent to the attack on the commis sioners, turned traitor and revealed his hiding place in the Lava Beds to the soldiers. He and three oth ers named Schonchin John, Black Jim and Boston Charley were placed on trial for the murder of Canby and Thomas. On October 3, 1873, they were hanged at Fort Klamath and 140 others were sent to Oklahoma as prisoners of war. Tobey Riddle Tailored Silk Suits, Dresses Reflect Beau Brummel Styles By CHERIE NICHOLAS A FASHION that appeals to best-dressed women every where is the suit or costume tailored of either black or navy silk faille. There is a refine ment and ladylikeness about these tailleurs that women love. There is a patrician look about the suavely fitted, smartly detailed silk costumes in the illustration. You will be hearing much during the coming weeks about the Regency period fashions to which contempo rary designers are turning for ideas or new inspiration. Our style crea tors are translating these costumes (of the “dandies,” who gloried in molded waistlines, peplum flared coatees, wide picturesque cuffs, fas tidiously frilled waistcoats and wrist lingerie frills, into practical contemporary fashions, such as are here shown. The black silk faille suit to the left in the picture reflects the Re gency influences of the Beau Brum- mels of the past in its neat slender waistline, accented by a peplum sil houette, flared collar and cuffs and beruffled lingerie accents. The enormous felt hat is especially chic in that it typifies a smart, new mil linery trend. These hats are par ticularly pretty in pastels, worn with either navy or black spring cos tumes. The simplicity of the silk crepe dress to the -right in the trio is a master stroke in costume design as interpreted this season by foremost designers. Note the new longer waistline. It is just this type of dress that invites lingerie accents With a gown or coat dress of this sort, you can change it entirely with new accessories. Note the white frills in the sleeves. Black wool and silk faille adapt well to the lines of the dressmaker suit centered in the group. The jacket features the new dropped shoulder yoke, with bracelet length sleeves and unpressed pleated pep lum. Unpressed front pleats intro duce new skirt interest. The blouse is of white mousseline de soie. Another type of silk costume suit that is a leading fashion is the red- ingote ensemble. The great advan tage is that the redingote can be worn either with its companion dress of faille or crepe or with print frocks. Many of the new redingotes are strictly tailored in straight slim lines. Others depart from the straight and narrow path by intro ducing front pleats and sometimes back yokes to give freedom across the shoulders. Very smart, too, are black or navy silk coats, elaborately braided down the fronts. Also, a striking new note are glittering jeweled buttons, fast ening the jacket of simple black or navy silks. Many flower buttons in realistic colorings are used on the new silk tailleurs. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Print-Bow Trim The ingenious use of print with plain is outstanding fashion news for spring. Especially attractive and chic is a new print silk bow tech nique used in jacket and bodice fastenings, as illustrated. The black, white and golden yellow silk print is striped horizontally for the dress, with the stripes applied in bands to the black wool jacket. Unpressed pleats give subtle fullness to the skirt. This model shows that the idea of print with plain is being used with refreshing originality. Shades of Deep Purple Seen in Spring Fashions Purple and violet and kindred shades are color features being highlighted this spring. Many suits and cape costumes are tailored of purple or violet-toned tweeds this spring. Topped with a fetching lit tle straw chapeau, trimmed in vio let, with violet boutonniere to match, this ensemble sings fashion’s spring song. The new lavenders and purples go charmingly with navy. Lots of white frills on a navy suit, navy or violet felt hat with violet flower trim and you’re ready for the sun! Lav ender veils or light green ones are accessory “musts” with purple en sembles. Bright Red Colors Red is registering one of the big gest color triumphs of the season. Young girls “dote” on the new red coats and jackets, some of which fasten with military brass buttons. Prints with red backgrounds are creating a sensation. Some are pat terned with navy or black or beige and green motifs. You really must have a red print frock. It’s the fashion to match hat and handbag this season. Try carrying out the idea in red straw or fabric, and don’t forget to add a red veil. You will like red accents with your navy suit or redingote ensemble, and red accessories will add an exotie touch to your new beige outfit. Chinese Hats A custom among Chinese maidens is to wear clusters of flowers at each side of the head. It is this pretty headdress which has given inspira tion for a new fashion that some predict will develop into an impor tant vogue during the coming months. A noted American mil linery designer has devised a band that curves to fit the head. This is covered with ribbon, and at each side flowers or ribbon bows are at tached. You wear this fitted bandeau like little girls used to wear round combs. This is a real help to those who prefer to go hatless. urwmmwmww IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) S. S. Lesson for April 20 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. USING WITNESSING POWER LESSON TEXT—Acts 2:1-4; 4:8-20. GOLDEN TEXT—They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.—Acts 4:31. In the right place at the right time and in the right attitude— these are unfailing conditions of divine blessing. Note also how fitting it was that on that Sunday morning—evidently in the upper room—the disciples were “with one accord in one place,” ready for the great gift of pr'wer and grace for life and minis try which God had for them, and through them for the world. One wonders what might happen today if Christian people would be in God’s house on the Lord’s day, in complete accord and unity, expect ant, looking for His blessing. I. The Holy Spirit Poured Out (2:1-4). “We are not to imagine that at this Pentecost He first came into the world. In all ages He had been imparting life and guidance and strength and holiness to the people of God; but He was now to work with a new instrument, namely, the truth concerning a crucified, risen, ascended, divine Saviour. For the proclamation of this truth the Church was the appointed agent. The story of Pentecost, therefore, is the first chapter in the history of the Church as it witnesses for Christ, and it embodies the impressive les son that in all successful witnessing the power is that of the Spirit and the instrument is the message of the gospel.” The outpouring of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost was accompanied by signs of great power, and a spe cial enduement which enabled all the strangers in Jerusalem to hear the gospel in their own tongue. “This ability to speak in foreign lan guages not previously learned was merely a temporary endowment granted for a special purpose. It was one of those miraculous spiritu al gifts which marked the age of the apostles. In modern times the claim to possess this power has never been established on credible evidence, nor is the dominance of the Spirit in the life of a believer to be tested by the presence of any special gift” (Charles R. Erdman). II. Mighty Works Performed (4: •)- Reference is made here to the healing of the lame man—a miracle which resulted in the imprisonjnent of Peter and John. It was a work of power, but only the first of many which the disciples were to perform. An even greater work was that of the Spirit-filled preaching of the gospel which brought 3,000 souls into the church (2:41). As we marvel at that event, we need also to keep be fore us the recurring day-by-day miracle of the regeneration of in dividuals (2:47). This was, and is, accomplished through the teaching of the Word (2:42). III. True Witness Presented (4: 8-12). The rulers and leaders (especially the skeptical aristocrats of that day —the Sadducees) were angered by the proclamation of the resurrection of the One they had crucified. They also feared that their rich revenues from the temple might be cut off if the people were to follow Christ (4:4), so they took the disciples into custody and brought them before the Sanhedrin. Humanly speaking, one might have expected these men to stand in fear and awe before that august body, and either become dumb with terror or brazenly defiant. But such is not the operation of the Holy Spirit* in a man. They spoke tactfully, but boldly, of the death and resurrection of the only One in whom there is any salvation. IV. Faithful Though Persecuted (4:13-20). Not being able to make any real charge against the disciples, the rulers let them go, but only after threatening them and forbidding them to speak any more of Christ. They, like so many religious leaders of today, were quite willing that the disciples should preach, if they would only leave out the name of Christ. Note the answer in verse 19. There is only one message (v. 12). “ ‘Neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved’; thus Peter asserts not only that the miracle has been wrought in the name of Jesus Christ, but that he and his judges can have eternal sal vation in no other name. His words are at once a rebuke, a challenge, and an invitation. They need to be reviewed and weighed today by cer tain benevolent but superficial talk ers who are asserting that Chris tianity is only one among many religions, and that it is only neces sary for one to be sincere in his own belief. Such teachers must recon cile their statements with those of Peter and John, who were ‘filled with the Holy Spirit' when they declared that there is but one name wherein we must be saved.” New potatoes contain less starch than older ones and for this rea son do not bake so well. . * * * Add a tablespoon of flour to creamed butter and sugar before adding milk, when making a cake.
