MAKE YOUR LAWN
FIRST, THEN SOW SEED

The area for the lawn should be
plowed or spaded deep, then graded
and thick dressing Of good black
soil must be evenly spread all over
The surface should then be made per-
fectly level; should it be necessary to
enrich the soil do SO with some good
commercial fertilizer evenly.
Now SOW your seed, but do SO dur
ing a light rain, or when no wind is
blowing good plan is to sow one
half the seed in one direction, the bal
ance at right angles, this will make an
even distribution; it is also better to
sow little too much seed than not
quite enough. After planting, roll the
soil or press down firm with a board
or spade. This will help hold the seed
in place and make the coming turf
even and smooth.
Now run up your water tax. Con-
slant watering done with fine spray
will keep the lawn in healthy condi-
ton. Do not let your lawn get bone
dry any more than you would IA

Let the grass grow four or six weeks

"Of course some Of the Chinese are
aware of the conflict, but do not
think it will arouse them to the extent
of showing their friendship with Ja-
pan by lighting for it.. Thus far the
war has had no depressing effect on
trade in the orient or on travel either,
and we have been doing as large a
business since the war as before it.

ing to kill them for giving evidence
against the Anarchist Czolgosz when
he was tried and convicted for assas-

WAITING FOR
THE FERRY

The residents of this city and South
Danville are very anxious to know
what steps are being taken by the
County Commissioners to provide free
transportation across the river
There seems to be htch in the
proposition to utilize LeDuc's coal
digging outfit until the ferry proper
can be installed. On Saturday the
matter was regarded as settled and
one of the County Commissioners IN
conversation with news representa-
tive explained that Mr.. LeDuc would
proceed to rig up bis boat Immediate
ly and that in three days time he
would have it ready to launch. 1t was
thought that the Creeks mouth might
be opened so as to answer as "a harbor
for the ferry when the ice from tho
upper river comes down.
Mr.. LeDuc was seen yesterday and
he admitted that he had as yet done
nothing to his coal digging craft which
rests on the river bank below the wat
er works just as it was left by the
food. He explained that the Com
missiOners had failed to notify him
that they had acceded to his terms and
that unless etfectually secured against
damage and loss he would not put his
boat into the river. None Of the Coun-
ty ommissioDers could be seen yes
terday and whether they are aware
that the boat is not being put in readi
ness and that delay must ensue could
not be ascerfained.
Meanwhile private individuals who
own boats are rowing passengers across
the river at twenty-five cents for one
way or fifty cents per round trip. 1t
is not necessary to add that these rates
are simply prohibitivo and that they
have dampening effect felt alike in
this city and in South Danville.
1t may be true that it would be i'll
advised to install ferry heIe before
the bulk of the ice has come down the
river. But every moment of the in
tervening time should be utilized in
preparation so as to have the ferry
ready when the time arrives that it
can be safely launched.

Iron Bridge Carried Away.

The bridge at the creeks mouth be.
low town was carried away by the
food. The localities down the river
are buried deep under ice and it was
only on Saturday that explorations be-
gan 60 extend any further than the
railroad and the wagon road, both of
which were blocked. 1t was then as,
oertained that the bridge had been
carried from the abutments.
1t is practically impossible to reach
the creeks mouth owing to the i'm
mense boulders of ice (which are piled
one on top of the other bat viewed
from distance the bridge seems to
have disappeared from the spot.
