A graphic line showing the
growth of the navy of the United
States would have four humps
representing vigorous growth.
Three of them would be followed
by depressions-long slides down
hill that represent periods OF
complete apathy on the part of
the public and of congress.

The result is a set of seven
reels OF wonderful submarine
pictures, which come to the Ia
coma tomorrow for a weeks run.
They are said to be the most in
structive and interesting pic
lures ever exhibited. They have
received attention in many of the
large magazines. One of the
"thrillers" is battle between a
diver and shark, at a depth of
SO fathoms. There will be matt

BOYS ENTER THE
CORN CONTEST

On account of unfavorable corn
weather, the Bureau of Junior Con-
tests of the Agricultural Commission
will accept enteries in the Boys Corn
Growing Contest until noon June Is.
This will give the boys who have been
holding off an opportunity to be en-
rolled.
Boys, get busy. You have every
thing to gain; nothing to lose. It costs
nothing to enter. The corn that you
raise will be worth 81 to So per bushel
for seed, next spring. There is always
a demand for good seed corn. The
experience you get will be valuable for
future work. It may look as though
an acre Of corn is small piece of
work, but remember, a small key may
open a large door. An acre of corn
may show the way for future crop in
crease. A pessimist may have the key
that will open the door, all you, need
is an optimistic disposition to try
Two boys from each county who are
enrolled in the Corn Growing Contest
will be selected for a free weeks stay
at the Ohio State Fair. Is it not
worth going after? The boys who get
these free State Fair Trips will have
their railroad fare and sustenance
paid by the Agricultural Commission.
The rSSsss;s;;.:..- possibility cSss winning q fres
trip to the National Capital is another
incentive.
A great many free trips are already
assured; more are forthcoming, as
soon as you boys show disposition
to try them. Governor Willis is in
hearty accord with this contest work
and wants to see a large number Of
boys enlisted.
If you have no blanks, write the
Bureau Of Junior Contests, Agricul-
tural Commission, Columbus, and they
will be sent you.

THE MEDINA SENTINEL FRIDAY. JUNE ii. 1915.
Flappy Hats Replace the Sailor

"What is so rare as a day in June,
When earth tries heaven If it is in
tune 2"
So thinks the girl who gathers up
her gaily painted sprinkling pot, her
shears, her basket. and her lneeling
pad, and trudges off to the garden to
enjoy an hour or two Of solitude and
intimate association with the sunshine
and flowers. It is quite a fad-this
pottering among your own posies; q
phenomenon one might almost call it,
wherein the artistic finds expression
in paraphernalia which blends with
the landscape.
The shops abound with gay impor-
ations, smocks, bonnets and aprons, to
tempt those who tarry within the gar
den gate. The smocks in themselves
are enough to turn one to rakes,
spades and garden baskets. / am told
the fad originated in England; cer-
tainly, it is charming enough to belong
to old Brittany. This garment has
much the appearance of q mildly,
grown to greater length, coming Just
below the knee, being slashed to slip
on over the head. Usually it is made
with set-in sleeves and yoke, and
shocked front and back, and on pock-
cts and sleeves. For the most part.
linen, unbleached muslin, cretonne and
silk are used in the making.

maiden all forlorn stands side by side
with the man all shaven and shorn; for
$1.50 the. pair will hold up your pet
rose bush all summer, or keep the
golden glow in order. A black cat with
back bumped, and tail skyward, is an
other familiar figure on the sticks, and
blue birds, and red cardinals, make
bright spots in green shubbery. Some
importations have Dutch windmills on
top and an expensive stick has a
fairy, gracefully poised on toadstool.
One man has even gone so far as to
use bonny rabbits in place of the girds
and an ingenious friend ties on the
gift card:
Standing in your garden trim,
May the plant-stick straight and tall
In the warm sun,
By it's brightness gladden. ALL"
No need, however, to rely wholly
on the sticks for color. Bamboo bas-
kets for weeds and knees, are made
bright with cushions of figured Gre
tonne; the kneelng-pad of woven rusn
is bound with red tape, that it. too,
may have the spirit of the sunshine
and flowers; and baskets are enameled
and painted with roses, buttercups and
daffodils. Even aprons take on gala
day aspect, being made of chintz, Gre
tonne, or quaint, checked, pink ging-
ham.
The woman who makes gardening
her summer pastime may even go
farther and select the dress she wears
win the apron to harmonize with grass,
flowers and devecote. A brown burlap
or dark blue linen will give the desired
effect, made with plain waist, full
skirt, and the broad organdy collar
and cuffs that we have come to call
Quaker. She will have no trouble in
finding these accessories. The sports
shops must have anticipated the craze,
for there are hats, gloves, and shoes
galore for the purpose. First come
the peanut straws and cane-bottom-
chair hats, with foppy brims to pro
tect the wearer from the sun. These
are trimmed with rosette Of cretonne
to match the smock, or apron, a velvet
bow or cluster of straw flowers
Then there are poke shapes and sun
bonnets and 'streamers Of cretonnt
which have taken their style from

CHATHAM

There was some excitement in Chat
ham Sunday evening when Lodi
phoned some of our officials saying
some Jail birds "flew the coop" from
Lodi and started in the direction of
Chatham; but fortunately for the
burglars they took some other route,
as TIE firing squad was out fully
armed with guns and revolvers ready
to give them hot reception If they
did not obey the voice Of authority.

All garden, with cockel-shells and
silver bells, needs is a Mistress Mary,
quite contrary, in one Of these fetching
garden smocks. Can you picture any
thing more charming than a bright
eyed girl in a blue smock, white hat,
skirt and shoes among the roses in an
old garden? Perchance, there is a
woven wicker basket on cane, stuck
in the ground to hold the posies, and a
few plant-sticks with parrots, cardin-
ais and bluebirds, perched on top, scat
tered among the flowers to make the
picture painted by nature quite COM
plete. Just looking at yellow linen
smock, with lowered cretonne collar,
hat and skirt to match, brings to mind
an old-fashioned garden with its
straight rows Of bachelor buttons, lady
slippers and hollyhocks. So it goes
that there is smock for every garden,
and no garden is complete without one.
Watching passing events, the shop
keeper concludes that all the world is
garden with giddy wheelbarrows all
painted with flowers; green backet kits
with English tools; smocks, aprons,
and thousand and one things sug-
gesting neatness, care and comfort for
garden work. There was garden set
offered the other day in one of the
shops, for S12 complete, consisting OF
a flat, broad shaped basket Of brown
wicker. fitted with shears, a collapsi-
BILE ruler, grubber, marker rake
brown burlap kneelin gpad, and an
apron, of the brown burlap. In fact, all
the tools now come light in weight tt
fill the requirements of the woman gar
dener; and the fixtures in bright colors
to catch her eye. NJ
