the MAKING OF LAWN

On TINS important subject, es-
pecially at this time of the year
G.. b. WaldroI 81 the North Da.
k"ta experiment. station, says:
The elements that enter into
the development 81 goo.i law
are simple and easily under. TODD
but are none the less impoi taut
CT That account. The failure tc
obtain good lawns arises from
the fact that the sill is not Of The
proper kind Or has not been care

KING Of grass seed has beer used
Only soil which remains reason
;,1y moist I'll ougnout the srcw-
ing season WI maintain good
l&wn. Hard, G,,, gravelly soil may
produce lit,i:; green grass dur
ing the early part of the SEASON,
but it quickly tur:ls brown III the
Iii Idle of the summer. The best
SOIL for lawn; Is II deep pt:;us
clay loan. This should be plcwed
tn depth Of q f"oi if possibia and
cultivated and graded until it is
b:ught down to the proper slope
or level. If it is necessary to dc
any large amount of grading in
order to obtain the proper con-
tour, care must be given TO get a
natural appearance.
A lawn surface should not have
the appearance of being put into
place by artificial grading. All of
it's undulations, if there are any,
should be easy and natural flow
ing lines such as one finds i'm the
land surfaces of ii natural land
scape.
1t is great mistake to SOW
the grass seed before the grading
has been very carefully done and
the ground put into the best pos
sible condition for sowing the
seed. 1t must be remembered that
it is practically Impossible to do
anything in the way of improving
the outline Of the surface after
the grass is once seeded. AS
freshly graded soil settles unev-
emily it is we'll to give it plenty of
time so that the final surface will
not be full of irregularities. If
grading is done late in the fall it
is sure to develop irregularities
during the winter and it will re-
Quire some additional surfacing
to get the lawn into proper shape
in the spring. The best tools for
this purpose are the disc, acme
harrow, split-log drag and plank
drag for the final smoothing. If
the soil is too heavy to get good
seed bed, as is often the case
around building where excava-
tons have been made, it becomes
necessary to cover the ground ov-
er with two or three inches of fine
surface soil.
The grass can be seeded during
the latter part of October after
there is no chance of it's germi-
mating or else as early in the
spring as the ground can be got
ten into shape. In order to keen
down the growth of weeds it viii
be necessary to use a much great.

STOOD AT SALUTE

ny the Associated Press.

PARIS, March 20, 8:o5 a. m.-Stand-
ing at salute and shouting "Vive la
France" the officers and crew of the
French battleship Bouvet, sunk In
the Dardanelles on March IS, went
down with their ship, according 70
the Tenedos correspondent of the
Athens PATHS, who thus describes the
action in which the Bouvet and the
Gaulois were engaged:
1.-THE captain of the Bouvet had
been ordered to cross a dangerous
mine zone and force a passage to
Chanak Kalessi, thus making the al-
lies masters of the straits as far as
Niagara. At 1:20 p. m. the Bouvet
was Ave miles from Chanak and was
firing at Fort Dardanus She had
crossed two mine zones. The Gaulois
followed, firing ell her guns. The
commander of the Bouvet, by a skill
full maneuver avoided two mines
which were exploded by destroyer,
but a third struck her in the region
of her magazines and she sank by the
head.
Seven survivors of the Bouvet
climbed into a boat and spent the
night In bay on the European side
of the straits They were taken off
the next day by British destroyer
when the captain of the Gaulois
saw the Bouvet was sinking he order.

stant's hesitation, but his ship had
been struck seven times and lie was
obliged to put back, anchoring off

among the men in our trench The
officers paraded him before us as an
example. He kept his head high and
seemed satisfied with what he had
done for his country. Then they
took him away somewhere to die.
But the next day we were forced
to perform several executions that
were harder for some of the men,
think, than shooting their old
trenchmate would have been.
Forced 90 Kill Pets.
xiii all of the dogs IN your
trenches" ran the new command. I
think some of the men who had made
pets of strange dogs cried the night
that order came. One fellow know
slept with his dog that night. We
couldn't kill the dogs in cold blood;
we were acquainted with them, just
as we were each other. They had
been the bright spots in our muddy
drab lives NANCY and dirty as they
were, we were little cleaner; when
there wasn't a smile left on our
faces during the rainy days there
was a sparkle in the eyes of the
trench dogs, and they were always
ready to play.
But we had to kill them A Por-
tuguese who loved little white fox
terrier discovered the easiest way.
He threw a stone out of the trench.
the little fellow went after it, and
just as he was picking it up In his
mouth about dozen rifles blazed at
him and over he went. We made be-
lieve to ourselves that we had been
shooting at the Germans and that
"Poopoo" had been killed by acci-
al fysin de
into eternity that day, laying
themselves down among the bodies
of the dead soldiers and dying deaths
that we ourselves might meet at any
time.
"a dog can't expect better death
than his master" said the captain
with tears swelling in his eyes. No
soldier in this great war has found
harder thing to do than We had that
day when the dogs were sentenced to
die.

On0 night we saw Ihree UIrle fl1cK~
ers of light from the shuttered win
dow. On hill far away in the Ger
Ian lines we saw a tiny light blink
three times. For three nights we
watched the sparkling chink in the
windows windowblind. We didn't
want to believe she was a spy, be-
cause If she would be taken away we
would miss our cider. But at last we
had to act. We caught her one night
In the deed and our officers sent her
away. l don't know where. She had
sold our country for German gold.
Hers was only one instance of the
thoroughness of the German spy sys-
tenn.
"The Spy Of All Spies"
One day we found telephone wire
running through the beet fields from
the German trenches to point far
behind our lines. l tended q poplar
tree where German spy hidden in
the branches had been phoning the
enemy all the details of our move
ments.. But Demeille was the spy of
all spies. He lived with us in our
trenches, he shot the Germans and
cursed them as we did. But all the
time he was sending messages to
them. And when he was caught in
the act he kept silence like a man.
Our officers took charge of him ana
he ppeared-executed, we heard.
In those early days of the war, when
foreigners in Paris were forming
foreign legion, Demeille, a fine, big
looking man, with beard that gave
Dlfim a distinguished appearance and
manner that was the essence of
a,ttesy, got his name in the list and
,,t accepted. He had money in un-
y Iii, tied quantities, and before we de-
I satr fted from Paris to the front he gave
s,rrsrties right and left to little groups
= comrades. His profession was that
1, j an engineer of a sugar-making ma
'hine. and he knew every inch OF the
sugar beet country in which our regl-
ment was finally stationed.
1t was a collie dog that proved the
undoing of Demeille--a fine, long
haired animal, which of all the stray
dogs made their homes in the trenches
had the most friends among the men.
But the collie liked Demeille best.
We found out afterwards that De-
nellie used to save his food and even
go hongry himself In order to keep
himself high in the collie's good will.
Dog Took Messages.
How Demeille trained the dog to go
to the German trenches from ours we
were never able to figure out, but we
first suspected Demeille when we saw
him lift the dog to the edge of our
trench and send him on his way by
throwing a stone towards the German
lines. which were only 150 feet dis
tant.
When the dog came back that night
q sentry caught him and searched
him. Under is collar was a map
which Demeille had drawn with
note written In German, I'VE don't
understand this map. Can't you make
IL plaire~o'
The sentry put the note back in
place and let the dog go to Demeille's
subway hut. Two men were watch
ing Demeille when the dog entered
Demeille put his finger under the
dogs collar, pulled out the note and
began to read 1t when the men
jumped on him.
Demeille was very cool about it,
but he knew that his end had come
