A little house like this may be
made very attractive by making a nice
lawn and planting a few trees and
flowers. The lawn is the most essen
tial and the most difficult undertaking
on the average town lot. The ground
often is not very good, it is mixed
with cellar earth and rubbish that is
not well calculated for good seed
bed for grass. II is easy to put the
ground in proper shape, however. II
the job is started from the bottom.
The ground must be plowed deep, and
thoroughly worked to get the objec-
tionable grass roots out OF ii. The
condition of the soil will determine
whether to seed the first year or the
second year. II there is no humus in
the soil ii will pay TO cover it thick
with coarse manure and plow ii under.
This again leads to complications in
the moisture problem, but If you have
hose attachment you can easily keep
the ground moist. The top two or
three inches of earth must be repeat
edly worked with a disc harrow, or
some such implement, every other day
for a week or two to kill the weeds
as they sprout, then if The top is we'll

aid you have a lawn that will last
as long as you want it, lawn that

value of the property.
This is a secret that not many
householders understand. II is not

TO MAKE LEMON JELLY.
Large Quantity Can Be Prepared in
Very Short Time.

Lemon jelly is the foundation for
many dainty summer desserts. Here
is a good recipe for large quantity
One box of any of the patent gelatines
soaked for an hour or more in a pint
of cold water. Turn this into a enam-
eled stew pan; pour over il three pints
Of boiling water. Add two cups OF
sugar, one stick of cinnamon, the
juice of four lemons and a little
grated rind. Allow this to stand ON
the stove until the gelatin is thorough
ly dissolved. Strain into a mold and
set away to harden. II placed on ice
as soon as cool this jelly will form
in few hours, but it is safer to al
low five or six, and it is really better
the next day. To make a freshfruit
jelly from the remains of a lemon
jelly melt the recipe as given above,
cover the bottom OF fancy mold with
strawberries, pour over this some of
the melted jelly and allow 1t to form,
then add layer of bananas sliced and
more jelly, finally layer of sliced
oranges with the last of the jelly. Dur
ing the raspberry season a delicious
jelly is made with q combination OF
lemon jelly and raspberries. A dainty
company dish is TO sprinkle grated
cocoanut over this fruit jelly and
throw a few candied cherries over
that.

Another device, the vibrating cor

metal bands which encircle the head
and support branches that vibrate
against the eyelids. Some hypnotists,
we are told. employ a large drawing
of human eye, on a card, while 9TH
ers use a combination Of magnets, re-
lying on the common idea that mag
ne,ism is connected in some way with
the hypnotic sleep. It may often be
necessary to employ makeshifts in
case none OF these devices is at hand.
Says Mr. Watkins:
"A candle placed behind an ordi-
nary brown or colored bottle is some
times used in lieu of hypnotic lamp.
The candle flame focuses itself at a
spot on the side of the bottle nearest
the patient, who has been given the
suggestion that sleep will result
when. after staring fixedly at this
spot, the light will go out. The candle,
cut short for the purpose, burns itself
out, and the sensitive consequently
falls asleep when there is no longer q
vestige of light in the room"

A little house we've got, on a flower
powered lot, in a hustling. breezy busy
little city; it's big enough for two, for
our wants are very few, there's only
just myself and little Kitty.
A simple little house like this is
very much like going back to first
principles, but 1t furnishes accommo-
dation for two just as well as a more
elaborate affair. We all have acquaint-
ances, especially among our older
friends, who commenced life as simply

the accumulations resulting from fru-
gality and good management.
II yonng couple forms the habit
Of paying rent they are very likely to
pay rent as long as they live. We
often hear the remark that it is
cheaper TO pay rent than to own your
property. There never was a more
foolish or misleading statement The
man who lives in a rented house sell
dom gets ahead financially. This
holds good whether he is working on
salary or is conducting a business on
his own account. 1t would be difficult
to. say why, but it probably is because
in the majority of cases a renter fails
to give attention to the advancing
value of real estate.
j knew a man, clerk in a lubricat-
ing oil factory, who rented a new
house on pleasant street about 20
years ago. At first he paid $40 per
month. but in seven or eight years
time the rent was raised to s25. He
| is still living in the same house and is
now paying s35 per month. The
house has not improved with age. and
he is continually looking about to bet
| ter his condition. but can find no other
| property that suits him so well or that
he can rent at cheaper rate in pro-
portion to the advantages he now hiss.

when there will be no competition

fairly reasonable today. Even the
Northern Colorado Power company is
too small to dare night the Central

veloping water power for electricity

The Commercial club last Monday
evening elected new board of di-
rectors Some of the old members
who have done good work during the
past year were retained, and although
1t is only an honor with considerable
work attached, we congratulate the
club on the retention of these men
and also upon some new selections.
While nearly all have done good
work during the past year there is
one man who is particularly deserv-
ing of credit. That Is the president
of the club, j. NJ. 3. Petrikin. We
do not wish to discredit Others,
but it is certain that during Mr..
Petrikin's term of office the Com
mercial club has done some of its
most effective work. Take for in
stance the matter Of the Empson
Packing company. 1t was Mr.. Pet
rikin who solved the financial prob |
lem OF securing the plant by suggest.
ing plan by which the banks of the |
city might help out.
There are several other men in
Greeley who deserve credit in con.
necton with this enterprise, among
them being W. c. Wilson, who was

with the Empsons. But then MIR. |
Wilson is also good member of the |
