Sir Conan Doyle Of Sherlocke fame,
who arrived in this country yesterday,
predicted "A wholesale lynching bee
of militant surrragettes, declaring that
the English people have stood all they
could from the wild women" II will
not be surprising if his prediction
comes true. They are patient people
To have tolerated the violence of the
militauts So far. The police even now
are having a hard time protecting law
breaking suffragettes from angry citi-
aens. Eventually the people may rise
and themselves put an end To the crazy
stunts of the radical women who no
longer are entitled 20 any respect.

GRASS SHOULD

"a E lection for Roots

Grass should be cut "long" so that

gardener, that the lawn mower should
be set just as high as it will go.
Lawns should be cut frequently ANA
in ordinary cases where the cuttinls
are normal they should be left where
they fail, notwithstanding the con-
trary opinion Of the energetic person
who follows up his cuttings by raking
with an iron rake. Lawns should new

Grass seed, for such raking harrovs
up the soil. Neither should they be
swept.
If the diligent caretaker of a lawn
must follow up the cutting by some
other operation, only a wooden rake
should he used. and this should be en-
ploycd carefully SO as not To disturb
such of the grass clippings as have
sifted down around the roots. These
grass clippings that settle around the
roots afford them very important
protection and will do much To keep
the lawn in fine condition when there
is lack of rain later i'm the season. for
they will hold the moisture and act as
shield from the sun. In fact, the
grass cuttings are generally needed
about the roots, and should not de-
tract from the looks of the lawn for
they soon shrivel, dry up, and work
their way down, 50 that they are no
longer noticed. Grasses are naturally
cool-climate plants and are liable to
be harmed by the hot sun about the
