Portable Lawns of Grass,

Living grass carpets that can be
used as table covers, coats, or for ma
king temporary or permanent lawns,
are now manufactured in England.
They are really living carpets. for the
grass with which they are covered con-
tinues to grow in whatever place or
use the carpet Is put, as shown In the
Popular Mechanics Magazine. To
make them, millions of grass seed are
sown on strip of carpet in green
house and allowed to sprout and grow.
When the grass has taken root the car
pet can be handled like a rug. II a
temporary lawn is desired, the ground
Is rolled and the carpet is laid down In
strips; afterward 1t can be taken up
and used elsewhere. When 1t Is al
lowed to remain In one place 1t takes
root and forms a beautiful lawn. An
entire lawn can be laid in day and
two lengths of carpet will make Z

Merchants and Farmers.

Many of the largest chambers Of
commerce and boards of trades that
had for years confined their efforts to
city affairs have of late years recog-
nized or have established departments
for the purpose of cooperating with
the people on the farms nearby.
A few years ago these organizations
would have secuted the idea that there
was field in which merchants and
farmers might profitably work to-
gether for the unbuilding of the COM
munity. Now, however, the merchant,
who often is in fact farmer, also Is
as much interested in improving farm
crops and farming methods as is the
farmer himself.
Intelligent citizens Of all classes
have begun to see that, while large
field must be left for exercise of in
dividual initiative and enterprise,
there are a great many things that
must be done by the community as a
whole. There may be some selfish,
ness in the merchants wanting the
farmers to raise bigger crops, but the
farmers are nevertheless the gamers
by the improvement.
The example that merchants have
set by helping the farmers to better
themselves might be followed by the
farmers in helping the merchants to
better themselves. They can do this
most directly by buying at home ev
erything they can, and if they cannot
buy the goods. qpality or class OF
goods they want they can best helI
their community by making the com
plant to the merchants themselves
1t certainly is doubtful expedient tt
send away from home for an article
the merchant doesn't carry without
first letting him know that he has moi
stocked goods for which there is 9
demand in his community.

Lightning Shuns Women,

Statistics appear to show that men

that the mans occupation Is more like
