LIVE ISSUE DISCUSSED.
New Opinion in the Conservation Of
5lue Grass.

What is the reason people in this city
have trouble in keeping blue grass sod
on their lawns when farmers report that
this valuable grass is scattering all over
the country.
This is q question that many people in
this city are asking themselves and try
ing to answer. There has never been
but one plausible answer to this ques-
ton and that is that constant moving
and watering viii kill bluegrass.
Many OF the old settlers viii remember
that W. Z. Mead tried hard to get
bluegrass sod on his fine residence prop
erty on Central avenue and that for some
reason the grass refused to grow except
out in the street in front of his place.
Mr.. Mead went to Colorado and rented
his home to William Campbell and since
8Ir. Campbell moved there the bluegrass
is spreading all over the yard and break
ing over into the adjoining property. Mr..
Campbell is formerly from Kentucky
and some Of the neighbors have ac-
counted for it by coming TO the con-
clusion that bluegrass is partial to Ken
tuckyans.
When asked what he did to make the
bluegrass grow Mr.. Campbell said he did
not do anything. He just simply Jet It
alone and it grows up, seeds. falls down
and seeds again. He has never wetered
or moved that grass. unless he particu-
larry needed the hay to mulch his to-
matoes with or something Of the kind.
When Mr.. Meade comes back 10 Wichita
some day he will find a nice crop OF
bluegrass growing or his place.
The county commissioners planted
bluegrass on the court house yard and
secured a good stand. They kept moving
and watering It and it is pathetic to see
that bluegrass trying TO live. The white
clover has Joined hands with the county
commissioners ard it. too. is trying 70

Gently and informed him that he might
run his restaurant on Sunday and sell

was prohibited on Sunday
AIR Amidon asked how it was that they
would allow him 70 seH plug tobacco and
not cigars on Sunday. Mr.. Bowman said
he did not know. but the city dads bad
given the marshal his orders. and ne
said some OF the dads chewed tobacco
but none Of them smoked. and that was
probably the reason. The ex-coUnty at
torney told his client that he guessed he
could sell the cigars. because the city OF
Clearwater had made a short cut and
