A Most Delightful Occasion

Chidren's Day was observed by
the Sunday school of the NJ. h.
church South last Sunday and most
delightful occasion il was indeed.
The little ones of the school did
themselves proud, and the various
committees deserve much credit for
the excellent work which they did in
preparing the program. decorating,
etc. The good people of our commu-
nifty showed their appreciation of the
work which we are doing by giving
MS crowded house. Our school has
grown to such proportions that we
have been compelled to enlarge our
place for accommodating the school,
50 We have bought large tent which
will be used for school purposes. We
extend most cordial invitation to
all Methodists and any one else not
connected with some other school,
and all strangers who may be in our
city to come and meet with us and
help in the good work. This applies
to both old and young. You cannot
be too old or too young to help in the
work.

All leading railroad officials in
New Mexico are TO be invited to at
tend the coming good roads meeting

ed in securing proper expenditure of
the money paid by them as taxes AS

dents of New Mexico or people inter-
ested here, should take part in the

sued.

wide to commercial bodies over the
state to participate in the coming
good roads meetings to be held in
Santa Fe and many responses have
been received. So far, Albuquerque
heads the list with at least 20 cars
all loaded with delegates, which il
promises to send to the sessions.
j. F. Miller at Valley Ranch, has
invited all delegates who come from
the north with the motorcade to take
lunch at that place before proceeding
to Santa Fee. The invitation has
been accepted.
Word has been received from
Charles Henry Davis, president OF
the National Highways association

VALUABLE ADVICE ON
LAWN SPnlMkllne

Sprinkling the lawn is an ever.
present duty during hot. dry sum-
mer and most sumers are both hoi
and dry. Almost everyone who ever
sprinkles lawn feels that he knows
precisely how il should be done, but
the United States department of Ag-
riculture has published bulletin Of
directions for scientific sprinkling.
Bad watering, the bulletin says, is
responsible for many poor lawns.
Most persons believe that when they
have moistened the surface of the
ground they have done all that is
necessary. This view is erroneous.
The bulletin says that merely to
moisten the surface will cause the
roots of the grass 10 grow near the
top, and II few hot days will dry them
up and kill the grass unless the
sprinkling is regular and continuous.
The best way, according to the ex-
perts of the department Of agricul-
ture is to sprinkle on one spot from
six To twelve hours, then on another
spot for the same length of time and
50 on until the whole lawn is thor
oughly moistencd, the sprinkling be-
ing so light that not drop Of water
runs off and is wasted. The water
then sinks down into the soil, the
roots go down after it, and the grass
can better withstand protracted
drOuth.
There are a few people who sprin'
kle their lawns this way, but thu
great majority do not. undoubtedl,
there is much bad sprinkling whicl
does the lawn more harm than good
Unless good judgment is used in the
time and manner of sprinkling il vii
be better not to sprinkle at all. Grass
is persistent and not easily killed
but as between being scalded to deatl
by improper watering or scorchcd to
death by drouth there is not much
choice, and the scalding is quite a:
effectually deadening as is tho
scorching--if not more so.

Shanghai, China.-At the commence

university, Shanghai, an American in
stitutiOn which has prospered in re-
cent years, Admiral Tseng Ju-cheng,
military governor of Shanghai, in
spected the cadets and paid them some
well-deserved compliments. At the
presentation of degrees Judge c. s.
Lobinger Of the United States court
for China gave an address on the sub
ject of American educational work in
Asia. He congratulated the university
their place in the new situation which
confronted China, and observed that
in the future development of China St.
John promised to play larger and
still more honorable part One of the
facts which most impressed a new
conner to China like himself was the
predominance of Americans in the
educational awakening of China, In
the vicinity of Shanghai alone there
were several institutions of higher
learning which, like ST.. Johns, owed
their origin and existence to American
initiative
The speaker instanced SOOchow and
Marking universities, and said these
institutions could be found duplicated
in almost every one of the Is prov
inces. He went on to refer to the i'm
creasing number of Chinese students
in universities in America, and said
that the forces of higher education in
China were largely under American
auspices. A very considerable por-
ton of members of the American Uni
who had graduated in American uni
versities. These were facts which
could hardly escape the notice of even
the casual visitor.
What was not so obvious was that
this educational effort Of America in
China was part of great national
undertaking begun long ago, and now
carried into almost every part OF
Asia.
Along with the spread of the Eng
lish language, there had been diffused
ideas of democracy and liberty OF
which the English language and liter
AZURE was so complete a vehicle. The
movement had had much to do with
the Balkan renaissance, it was behind
the struggle of Persia for liberty, and
it was playing part in the modern
movement in China. 1t was to be hoped
that the present intellectual and po-
litical changes now being wrought
would be accompanied by a CORE
spending moral awakening.

dangerous, and the government lack

London ranching strikes

for women, but young Englishwom-
an hopes to make very good thing
out of a herd she keeps in a Spitz-

as she tells it, has all the elements
of a schoolboy romance-the lonely
valley, free to the reindeer and their
owner, the bears and wolves as we'll
as the valuable gray foxes, the salmon
fishing, the cliffs whence the elder
down is harvested, the harbor open
practically the year round, so that
meat can be exported winter as well
as summer, the seals that haunt the
waters. the hundreds of varieties of
wild flowers that grow on Spitzbergen
and the long, luminous twilight of win

of the spasmodic ferocity that distin
