HOW DO YOU BUY YOUR GROCERIES?"Why. Mrs. Smith. you surely do not carry home groceries these days when you can have them delivered to your door."I admiUed I did and that I preferred to see wha' I was geuing, and that I paid cash for 'he goods I bought. and that I consideredUlat I got better 'rea'ment by showinJ the merchants ,hat we were independent and could buy anywhere.But Mrs. Johnson. the Insurance man's wife, who was talking to me, again laughed and said: "Mary. yoU are a goose.Don't you know the war is over? You don't have to make a pack horse out of yourself in these days." She called over to Mrs.Lawton, the doctor's wife. and asked: "How do you buy your groceries, Sarah?" "Why. either from Mr. Jones o r else at thestore of Shasta & Rudolph by telephone." But how do you know that the stuff will be all right and that Uley won't chargeyou two or three prices for everythmg that you buy, and how do you pay for them?""Why. my dear Mrs. Smi'h. when JlOU deal with good merchants you do not have to worry as to whether your It00dswill be right or not; that is his business. and if you are a regular customer Uley will do almost anything to retain your busmess;and as for paying, we do that at the end of 'he week o r mon th by check. I never would have the t ime nor t he pat ience torun around every day or so buying a few articles of food for my ta ble . Why , it really is foolish, and when I get the bil!s forthe goods I check them over and I find that my grocer keeps his prices pretty much on the same level as oUlers, and that oftenI see goods on the bill at less money than I had expected to pay . ., ." So . n ow Tom. I must h av e mor e time to prepare t he se mea ls f or y ou , and I a lso want a b t tl e more leJsure tIme myself, so I want you to go down and open an account at Mr. Jones' and have t hem put my name on h's telephone list, like he hasMrs. Johnson and Mrs. Lawton and t he res t of Ihe ladies, then he takes all that worry and responsibility off of my hands andleaves me free to go ahead and ut my work done in plenty of dme without steaming and fretting myself in'o a nervous stew.There, now, what have you got t o say , Tommy boy?""Well I'll be doggoned, that's all I got to say, only that I think you are dead r ig ht . Why shoul d you lug all that s tuffhome? We 'are as good a s an y of those folks. I'll go down to s ee Mr. Jones in the morning. and I am gla d that some one hasput us nex' to the blindness tha' chainstore ads and r.ropaganda had thrown over u s f or a ll thos time. It makes me mad '0 thinkof it-they made me make a pack mule out of my wi e so that they can save the cost of delivery and so pile up more profits ontheir swel ling surplus. Well .

By Dr. Walter SteckbeckShade t re es o f towns and cities arenot all e qu al ly d esi ra bl e; in fact,some even though very common, ared e c i d ~ d l Y undesirable. In the latterdass the poplars may be placed, andthis is especially true of the commones t species,-the cottonwood or CaroIina poplar. Poplars .are c o m m o ~ l yplanted because of rapId growth, gIving a qui ck e ff ec t, and because theyare able to w i ~ h s t a n d the s ~ o k e anddrought condi ttons of the ,CIty, Thefast growth is r eal ly a pomt agalllstthe pop la rs for t hey soon become !Oota ll a nd spreading for ,surroundmgproperty, and t he wood belllg extremely soft and brittle the trees frequent lybreak in wind storms. In many ca.sesthey a re ent ir el y uproo ted not belllg-deep-rooted trees. P r o b a b l ~ the grea t es t objection to poplars I t he f re quent entrance of the roots IIl to waterand sewer pipes. In the e a ~ e r searchfor moisture poplar roots Will ~ long- d i s t a n c ~ in the grounds, grow!ng ,not-only in the usual d o w n w ~ r d dIrection,but a lso in a hor izon ta l Ime for manyfeet. After enter ing the joints of thep ipes t he f ine roo tl et s b ranch and rebranch and in a short time completel,}'impede the flow o f w at er .

Asearly as the f irst week of March 0!lemay expect the f lowers o f t he whI tepoplar; the second w e e ~ is t he ave !age. The white poplar IS followed 111t en o r twe lv e d ay s b y the blossoms ofthe Ca ro li na ; a few d ay s later theLombardy may be expected; the balsam poplar st il l la ter.The Carolina poplar (Populus deltoides) or cottonwood is seen f r ~ -quent ly i n our town. Large specImens may be found along North Narberth avenue. Th e species name-deltoides-indicates the triangular, ordelta-like leaves. The flowers are ~ r o -duced in hanging spikes called catkllls.These "caterpillars" litter the pavements and streets a few days af ter thespikes have elongated, L ike other spe- '.cies of poplars , t h e s taminat e (ma le )and pistillate (female) flowers are pro-duced on d if fe rent t rees . Very fewpistillate are seen a long our s t reet s .Several f ine specimens may be foundnear lona avenue and Montgomeryavenue. The seeds are covered withcotton-like hairs and are readily c a ~ r ied by t he w in d. The cottonwood ISfound pract ically everywhere east ofthe Rockies.The Lomba rdy o r I ta li an pop la r(Populus nigra var. italh:a) w ~ t ~ itss lender . spire-l ike form and rlgldly-erect branches may be readi ly r ecog-nized. Frequently it is p la nt ed as aw ind break or as a b ac kg ro un d f orother plants. Look along Iona avenueor Lantwyn lane, or a number of other-places in Narberth fo r t hi s t re e. .The white or silver poplar (Populus alba) with its smooth whitishgreen bark and silvery-white undersi de o f t he l ea ve s, may . be separatedeasily from the other species of popl ar s. T hi s form develops large spreading, broad heads, which is characteristically different f rom the others, Th ewhite poplar is not oft en seen as a:street tree.The bal sam pop la r (Populus balsamifera) also called the b alm o f G il ead and tacamahac is another nativespecies, going north to the headwatersof the' Ma ck en zie Ri ve r wh er e i treaches i ts best . It i s quite desirable- f o r a poplar . The buds are coveredwith resinous secretion hence the common name, balsam poplar. The darker green foliage as compared with theCarolina make it a more attractivet ree than the latter species. The quaki ng aspen (Populus tremuloides) isfound occasionally in our range. Thetulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) isoft en e rroneous ly cal led a pop la r, ortulip poplar, but is in no way relatedto the t rue poplars .
