GRASS STIMULANT FOR
 LAWNS IN LATE SPRING

Washington, June S.-In the late spring. about a, month after active grass growth has commenced on the lawn, it is desirable to apply grass stfmu mulant to keep the lawn in first class condition. Nitrate of soda is a good fertilizer and will make the grass grow tllichly with a rich, dark green color that will show itself promptly after the application. The landscape gardener of the U .S. De- partment of Agriculture advises that those who use nitrate or soda should apply it at the rate of 50 pounds per acre once a month throughout the summer beginning about the middle of May in the latitude of Washing ton, D. c.
 The nitrate of soda should be ap- piled just before a rain or sprink- ling with the hose. Under ordinary conditions it will keep the lawn a vivid green during the period when application of this fertilizer combined with careful watering (described in a previous article) will prevent the parched appearance of the lawn dur ing the dry hot summer season.
 Care in Using Fertilizer During
 Drought.
 When nitrate is applied during any dry period it should be used careful ly. It can, however, be applied at any time if the nitrate of soda is pow dered up fine before using, but it is safest to dissolve it in water. Because of a generally prevailing fear that this fertilizer may ruin lawn if used carelessly, the department has been experimenting to see just how much nitrate of soda would have to be used in order to kill grass. These ex- periments seem to show that nitrate of soda can be used fairly exten- sively without causing injury, for at tempts to kill grass with it were un- successful except when such large quantities as zoo pounds to an acre were used.
 Although fertilization is a splendid thing for the upkeep of a lawn, it will never entirely make up for a. lawn soil that was poorly prepared in the beginning. It is only when a, lawn soil is properly prepared in the first place. and enriched with stable manure,

TELEPHONE NEWSPAPERS.

The news teller" system OF re
failing news that has been in use i'll
ably be used in London, the largest
city in the world, according to news
paper reports; and ia several OF the
European capitals tentative arrange

The novel company is for the dis
tribution of news and advertisements
by telephone to subscribers.
This device has the advantage of be
ing able to flash news to hearers i'm
mediately without waiting for edition
time to tell important news. 1t is a
boon to the sick and is as cheap as
most newspapers, costing only pen

A bulletin each day tells when each
class of news will come and the sub
scriber has to listen only to what he
wants.

THOSE 10000 TREES.

Good fortune seems to thrust itself
upon Boone County. The latest bit is
the gift of trees which are to be used
TO beautify the public highways.
When State Highway Commissioner,
Buffum, suggested that fruit and shade
trees be planted along the state high
way and other public roads the Colum-
bia Commercial Club al once took up
the plan. Efforts were being made to
secure money for the purchase OF
trees, when Stark Brothers offered
their gift To eight OF the counties along
the state highway.
The trees are all strong and in good
condition. and with them will come
directions for their care and planting.
All that has to be done when they
reach here is TO have enough men to
handle them and then follow the direc
tions. This gift means much 10 Co

should offer a vote of thanks TO the

ON THE SCREEN
PLAZA THEATRE.

Less than a year ago Charles Chap lin made his first appearance on the photo-play screen for the Keystone company, and in the portrayal of a very unimportant role, caused, such a riot of laughter in every scene in which he appeared, that the director of that famous company placed him in the leading role in one of their pro- auctions. To-day, Chaplints name is featured from coast to coast as the Keystone funny Drunk and in Eng land on certain nights, movie" pro- grams which feature Chaplin, are presented. He is without question the most popular comedian posing for the camera and every time his figure ap- pears upon the screen the audience re- spends with rounds of applause.
 Manager Ca1Ian of the Plaza. was the first to notice his growing popu- 1arity after his advent in the motion picture field and straightaway made arrangements whereby all productions in which Chaplin is posing are shown in Bridgeport rr
 For Anniversary week which is in augurated at the Plaza at the Labor Day matinee, Manager CaIlan has been fortunate in securing two book ings of Chaplin's works, one for the first half of the week, 5"FIis New Pro fession" and one for the latter half entitled 'sRecreation, which, aside from it's wonderful laugh provoking situations, holds much that is of in terest to everyone, for many of the scenes were taken in the Yosemite Valley.

Breaking to the front with a com bination of the biggest picture con cerns of America, and coming forth with extensive advertising through out the country, the Paramount Pic lures have arrived in Bridgeport. While the picture title indicates the topmost, yet the public little realizes to-day what is meant by these two words.
 But Bridgeport moving picture pa irons will at once realize the innpor- tanee when it is said that the Famous Players Picture Company, who pro- duced the great Mary Piclford pie tures The Jesse L. Laskey Feature Play Company, who have featured Dustin Farnum and Bosworth, Inc, who dramatized the great sea stories written by Jack London, form the backbone of the Paramount Pictures, and that their company is directed by such nnagnates in the producing field as the Frohmans, Ado1ph Zukor, Jesse Laskey, David BeIasco and others. At the Pon Theatre on Main street Monday afternoon the first of the Par amount Series is to be shown in 'HThe Lost Paradise@ in which Daniel Froh-
