The purpose OF lawn Is to provide
O suitable setting for home or other
building and for garden or landscape
planting. In most cases the ideal SOL
for a lawn is not available near the
house or building where the lawn Is
to be established. Often the lawn Is
started on q site where the normal
soil OF the locality mas been mixed
with the heavv. clay subsoit from ex-
cavations for the foundation work. In

OF six to ten inches is SUFFICIENT IL the
subsoil Is gravel. but II il Is stiff CLAY
more top soil Is needed. Most lawns
fail because Of poor drainage and poor
preparation OF top soil. and for this
reason Uncle Sans experts advise
special care in the beginning OF the
work. Air-slacked lime or pulverixed
limestone should be added, to the top
soil to improve and sweeten 1t. A
liberal coating Of wellrotted barnyard
manure should be applied when first
blowing or digging the plot. This Is
the only opportunity for applying
humus to the soil without breaking up
the lawn again.
When the soil has been prepared
and good drainage insured. the plot n

The Muss Which
Always Comes When
Government is Sublet


A federal court has ruled, we think
quite properly, that it is lawful for q
man to own stock In q railroad and
at the same time In a coal mine which
skilfully uses the railroad to help It to
get big profits.
True, congress once passed COM
modities clause. intended to stop rail-
way insiders from thus fattening their
side enterprises.
But in the nature of things q pri-
vately owned railroad IL for private,
not public. advantage: and 1t IL much
more tyrannous for the public to step
in and muss up these nice little pri-
vate gratis like the oil trust, the steel
trust aud the anthracite coal trust,
than to do the big, brave and right
thing of buying In the railroad, out
right. and thus making It what rail-
yoad should be, q public institution.
There Is q measure Of justice, there
fore, In the complaint Of the private
owners of our railroads that they were
tempted to 90 into the business by the
general opinion then prevalent that .
railroad was to be used by Its private
owners to get out of the public all the
profit possible. And no wonder they
now think II IL bad form In the public
not to stay down and let its pockets
be picked indefinitely In the good old
way. Under like circumstances you
would think 90, too.
II we recognise In law the right Of
private ownership In q public utility

Upon recommendation of the State
Board of Health, Wednesday and
Thursday, July 20 and 20, have been
set apart as CLEANUP DAYS for
Donaldsonvi1le.
All householders are requested to
gather up and deposit on streets in
front of their premises all trash. pa
per, rags, refuse and garbage of all
kinds. The same will be immediate.
W: removed by carts especially Sc
cured by the city for that purpose.
All lumber and boxes should be
elevated at least IS inches from
ground to eliminate breeding places
of rats.
We make these suggestions to inn
prove the sanitary condition of the
city and to prevent the serious con
sequences that would follow the in
PRODUCTION of bubonic plague into our
midst, it having been determined,
beyond doubt, that the rat is re-
sponslble for the spread of bubonic
plague (black death)
Garbage and filth is the food of
rats.
No rats, no fleas. No fleas, no
plague.
To make this cleanup effective
everyone must join in the work.
