II. G. FELTON,. well known residents of
a Trip county homestead. Before the
blaze was discovered by one of the

evening, he will obtain practically
the same results in the long run.
Iiaphazard watering every evening is
not advisable. He should be careful
also to use merely a gentle spray, and
not continue watering to such an ex-
tent that water run off, as such water
does no good. In fact, it may do
harm. for it may remove loose dirt
from the grass roots and expose them
to drouth. The strong steam OF a
hose should not be used, as it helps
to expose the roots unnecessarily.
Many people wonder why drouth
dries up their lawns in July after
they have taken what they consider
10 be good care of them. The combi-
nation of hot winds and dry weather
makes July undoubtedly the hardest
month for lawns, and when the roots
of the grass are encouraged to grow
near the surface by bad watering,
and the loose dirt is also removed
rom them by a hose of strong water
power, the results are more disas-
trous than il the lawn had been left
| alone.

FEARFUL DEpOSITORS
GATHER IN CROWDS
Surround LoTimer Banks in Va
riOus Parts Of Chicago,

Chicago, June 15.-Crowds OF anx.
ious, tearfr' depositors surged about
the four Lorimer banks. where S4..
000, 700 In deposits were tied up when
state bank examiners took charge.
At the La Sale Street Trust and
Savings bank, whose forced suspen.
sion was followed by the closing Of
the three outlying institutions, police
were ON duty early, ordering the
crowds that began pushing against
the doors to move on and not impede
traffic.
The Ashland-Twelfth State bank. in
the heart Of the Ghetto, was sur
rounded by a mob of excited Jewish
depositors. All night long groups OF
small depositors crowded the street.
Three times the police were forced
to use clubs to dispense them and at
one time a riot call was sen In when
angry men threatened to smash the
doors.
Aside from another small bank
other Chicago banking institutions
will not be affected by the Lorimer
suspension, according to James b.
Forgan, George M. Reynolds and 9th
er influential men. They point out
that the Lorimer bank was not a
member of the Chicago Clearing
House association and not connected
with the other big banks in any way.

WATERING The Lawn
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS SAY
POOR WORK SPOILS
THE LAWNS.

Washington, June 16.-Bad water
ing is the cause of almost as many
poor lawns as drouths, according to
the landscape gardener of the United
States department of agriculture.
Frequent watering of merely the sur
face of the grass makes the roots OF
the grass grow near the surface, and
these roots should be made to grow
down as deeply as possible in order
to secure a fine lawn that will resist
the hottest weather of summer.
The best method of watering the
grass is to apply a spray of from six
to twelve hours, the stream being so
gentle that water will not collect in
sufficient quantities to run off. The
water will then sink down into the
soil and the roots will grow 20 a
greater depth. When this method is
used. the lawn should not be watered
~oftener than twice a week and Their
the ground should be soaked, so thai
the water penetrates for several
inches beneath the surface. AS q
general rule, watering once a week Ii
sufficient to keep a lawn in good con,
dition.
The mar who enjoys watering his
lawn in the evening for a half hour
after returning from work will prob
ably prefer this method to leavinf
the stream on for a number OF hours
once a week. II he will divide hi,
lawn area in six parts and confine hi.

ed and went out and saved the trio,
losing some OF his clothing and TAX
ing no small risk in the operation.
When he got the entire party on

The latter laughed. and when Rakov
asked him Il he didn't think It would
be the right thing 10 reimburse him for
his loss he said: Nothing doing" In
