PROPER CARE OF THE LAWN
Grass Plat Must Never Be Neglected If Home Is to Have a Proper
 Appearance.

One of the most important duties on the home place during the summer is the care of the lawn There is nothing about place that makes so much for general attractiveness as a well cared for lawn.
 Many people make the mistake of keeping the lawn cut too close. In that case the grass roots are exposed to hot sun and drying winds during the summer Cut the lawn frequently. but do not set the machine too close. To keep the lawn looking clean at all times have a grass-eateher attachment on the mower A careful watch for weeds on the lawn should be kept. Cut them out well below the surface with an old knife as soon as they are large enough to be seen.
 A roller on the lawn Is advisable, but it should be used with care. Lawns that have been rolled for a long time are likely to become over-rolled; there is surface cohesion or close packing of the top soil. which prevents the admission of air and healthy root development. The remedy is the use of the spiked tamper, A homemade one may be male by taking piece of two-inch plank, some 12x12-inch tim Der and inserting four-inch spikes an inch and half or two inches apart. Bore holes little smaller than the spikes before driving them in. to pre- vent splitting the wood Perforate the whole surface thoroughly with this. give a top dressing. lightly rake 1t in and water the whole thoroughly late fin the afternoon.

Foolish Anoer.

There is surely no sense in getting angry at life or getting angry at peo. pie. People must go on playing their parts and life must continue to reveal itself in it's nature. full of inconsist- encies and vexations and trials and dis appointments and griefs and wonderful eompensations The best we can dc is to meet the tests in the spirit that places us, not among the conquered. but among the eondaerors. and that keeps us in a mood where we can en- joy to the full the compensations.- Exchange.

ropean battlefe1ds. Several attempts
in this direction have been made, but
this latest patent secured by "a sub
iect of the car OF Russia" now To-
Gated in Scranton, Pa, claims to have
reached the maximum of safety econ
omy and convenience.
The same motor power is utilized
for operating the wheels which con-
vey the passengers over land, the
Epropellers which drive them through
the water, and the great wing-like
blades and steering gear which carry
them through the air. The latter are
compactly gathered In against the
sides of the car when either OF the
other apparatuses is in use. These
three distinct modes of travel are
available at any time, the different
machinery being quickly thrown into
operation to meet a need for instant
change.
The car for which the new triple
equipment is provided, Is large
enough to accommodate a number OF
passengers. In the opinion Of the in
ventor, it is adaptable to war time
use in the transportation Of soldiers.

National Economy.

APerhapS there was never
time In the history OF the united
States when the utmost possible
stimulation of the saving naom
meant SO much to indiytdual ana
rational prosperity as 1t does
owIn-F0imer II. Youngman, edi-
tor: of the Bankers Magazine.
II our people all work harder and
save more money the United States
could soon become the worlds bank
ter. That is the opinion OF the Bank
ers Magazine and other authorities on
finance.
Even IL the European war speedily
closes it will leave in its trail vast
burden of debt to be provided Tor SO
that London, Paris and Berlin Will
have ON their hands all they can
handle for good while to come me
United States should be in q position
TO take its place as international purss
veyor OF capital.
It must not be forgotten that we
shall require a large amount OF mon
ey to finance our own enterprises
which hitherto have been accustomed
to 20 abroad for loans. To meet this
demand, to take back our securities
from Europe and to provide for the
international financing already com
ing to us as result of the war, and
which Is bound to come IN an ever
increasing volume, we must bring
about prompt and material addition
to the saving capacity OF our popula-
ton.
The idea that prevailed in Europe
previous to this disastrous war was
to use everything that was available
and to throw away nothing that could
be used to great or small advantage.
On account OF the scarcity of land in
the producing sections, intensive
farming had been brought down to
an exact science, with the result that
in these times of stress there can be
enough produced upon a limited acre
age to keep the people from starva-
ton. If this habit Of saving were
practiced more in this country our
people would be in far better con-
dition to take care of themselves
should some dangerous emergency
arise in the future.
We repeat, there never was time
when SO much of individual benefit,
of national welfare. and of public
profit, could be derived from the gen
eral adoption of the saving habit by
the people of the United States.

SAN Juan.

Uncle Sans city of most history
and romance is unquestionably San
Juan Porto Rico. Those. Americans
whose educational foundations were
laid before the Spanish
war have difficulty in conceivtng OF
Porta Rico as bona fide part OF the
United States. They reluctantly con
cede that st. Augustine is not the
point beneath the flag of that arst
settlement: that Santa Fe does not
hold second place.
Yet San Juan may Justly claim to
be the parent of both those towns.
Ponce de Leon set out from San Juan
then a we'll established settlement, in
search of the fountain OF youth, on
which expedition he explored Florida,
and founded St Augustine. From
Porto Rico also sailed Cortez, with
his little band of adventures that
burned its ships in what Is now the
harbor OF Vera Cruz and went forth
to conquer Mexico. The Padres who
followd these founded Santa Fe.
