YOUR BACK YARD.
DO you remember or have you heard
it-Dr. Conwell's lecture on "Acres of
Diamondsf"
The story is thus:
A man of South Africa wandered for
years over veldt and kopje in search
Of IA diamond mine. Discouraged by
his failure, he settled down in a house.
One day, digging in his back yard, he
came across a find which, being devel-
oped, resulted in the discovery Of a
rich mine of diamonds.
And the moral of the lecture, of
course, is the possibilities Of your lin
tied resources. There are "acres Of
diamonds" in your back yard-not lit
orally. but potentially.
Take a look at that back yard.
Have you made OF It a dumping
place. cluttered by rubbish and often
sive 70 sight and smell? If so, the
first thing 70 do is 10 clean It up.
Such a back yard is liability which,
If you win. you may change into an
asset.
Learn from the Japanese.
Those people when they come over
here are amazed at the neglect Of our
premises. Their people, however small
may be their little holdings. cultivate
every inch. The front yard blossoms
as the rose. and the back yard produces
half the living of the householder.
Properly handled your back yard
will produce quantities of garden stun
scarcely bellevable. With a little la
Dor and care all the dellcacies OF the
garden may be had. fresh and appe-
tizing. And the returns will pay dou-
Bile dividends in health and pleasure.
DO not waste your back yard.
Even a small place is worth your
while. A few square feet VIII bring
forth radishes and lettuce and other
garden varieties sufficient TO supply a
small family.
Besides
There is the possibility Of beauty

The dealer carefully removed the cord

PLAYFUL COJIIES
 BRIGHTEN HORSE
Animal Runs Through Group of Children and Two Are Injured.

A big black horse badly scared dash ed through 8 bevy of eight little chill dren in Wood avenue north of North avenue at 10:30 this morning. Two of the little folks, Dottie DeMorx, aged 8 and Leona Hirschgeld, aged were out of the way of the big animal, but neither is seriously injured. The De Morx child is a granddaughter of Prof. Maritime DeMorxs of 7o6 Wood avenue. She was badly scratched and bruised on the face and one ankle is bruised and swollen. The Hirschfeld child is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Hirschfeld of 715 Wood avenue. She was bruised about the body and shak- en up.
 Hitched to delivery wagon belong ing to the Bridgeport Grocery Co.,, the animal was left standing in Worth St. A hitch line with a twenty pound weight was fastened to the animals bit. Collie dogs were rolling in the roadway One dog rolled beneath the horse and the high spirited animal was off taking the 20 pound weight with it. On the southwest corner of Maplewood avenue and Park avenue the animal took to the sidewalk and ripped up about 30 feet of fence be- longing to Ernst Adams. Here the an- imal left the wagon behind and hav- ing lost the hitching weight it pro- ceeded up Park avenue to North ave- nue, west on North avenue and north on Wood avenue where the animal rushed through the bevy of children. After going as far north as the plant of the Bridgeport Coach Lace Co.,, the horse slackened his pace and return ing toward North avenue was easily caught.

WHAT STANDARD
 OIL SUIT MEANS
If Oil Monopoly Can Be Dis solved So Can Every Trust in Country.

Special from United Press.)
 St. Louis, April 6.-"The full Signifi- canoe of this suit against the Stand ard Oil has not dawned upon the Ann erican people. If the government Suc- ceeds in procuring an order restraining the subordinate corporations from pay ing dividends to the Standard, it will which it can at will destroy the integ- rity of every big enterprise in the Unit ed States
 Attorney Moritz Rosenthal, mouth piece of the oil company thus voiced the opinion of interests he represents to-day. General demoralization of the big vested interests in the country is predicted if a final adverse decision is rendered against the oil trust.
 Not only may the Standard Oil CoI1l- pany be dissolved, but also the railway mergers, steel trust, fish trust and all the great trusts that control the SUD- ply of the necesSaries of life. The dis solving of these organizations, in the opinion of the Standard advisers, will demoraliZe capital almost to state of Anarchy. Another panic of greater magnitude than the one out of which the country is just emerging, would en- sue, and the people would be the prin- cipa1 sufferers they say.
 The government expects to conclude the presentation of its case this after noon. The program for the day is that Kellogg finish by noon and Spe- cial Counsel Charles B. Morrison will present his argument during the after noon.
