Helen woke the next morning with
a sense of not remembering where she
was. The sun was making little
streaks of brilliance over the counter
pane and some one was moving the
lawn, quite an unaccustomed sound
and one that she could not connect
with her surroundings. Then she re-
membered everything in a rush.
She was dressed first, and, not wait
ing, ran lightly downstairs and out
to the porch and the sweet-scented
world. Little Mrs. Perkins was
bending over a pansy bed examining
the flowers closely. The man who
had driven them up from the station
was just finishing the lawn and said
good morning to Helen as she went
out into the sun, bare-headed.
Mrs. Perkins looked up with a
pleasant smile as Helen came over
and asked her If she couldn't help.
Why, yes, you might she vouch-
safed, take the watering pot and
water the pink rosebush and the
nasturtiums in the urn over by the
side porch"
Helen seized the watering pot with
alacrity and was busily tending to
the flowers when Warren came out
looking for her.
Coming in to breakfast ?" he
asked.
Yes" she said quickly. "in just
one minute" and then as the last
drop of water trickled out she put
down the watering pot in the shade

SUBSTITUTE FOR LAWN MOWER

During the rush of summer work

his front yard neat and slightly pur-
chase couple of ewes in the Spring
and let them run on the lawn to keep
down the grass and weeds. Full
grown grade ewes will cost from 81

particularly adapted as substitute lawn
mowers, writes G. H. Dacy in Farm
and Home.
The ewes will keep the lawn in or
der and also will increase its fertility
as their droppings are very rich. II
kept for a year they should produce
lamb apiece which will be worth
eight to ten cents a pound when they
top the 60-pound mark. The ewes
will also shear five to six pounds of
wool each.
The sheep will not require much
care or attention except at lambing
time when they must be well sheltered
and fed. During the winter they rel
ish corn fodder, clover hay, shelled
corn, oats and bran. The ewes will
more than pay their board bill When
fat they may be sold at a profit or
they can be kept to care for the lawn
the following season. An acre of good
grass Will support six mature ewes
through the summer

room. Their table was spread near
an open window overlooking the lit
tie porch where they mad eaten last
night, and which was now flooded
with sunlight.
rosy checked country maid with
dimples waited on them, and they
enjoyed real country breakfast of
red raspberries, with thick cream,
oatmeal, newly-laid eggs, mullins,
griddle cakes and the most delicious
coffee Helen had ever tasted. With
real interest she watched Warren
eat the oatmeal.
At home he detested cereals and
never ate any. She herself, although
she liked them, never INDUCED, be-
cause of their fattening properties,
but apparently the country air had
already done wonders for Warren.
Afterward they wandered about
the garden for a while, and then
Mrs. Perkins called Helen and asked
her II she would like a drive

ested in watching the great white
room with the big vats and the
steaming smell of condensed milk.

and empty them one after another
into the vats.
Then they drove away and out
again into the country. They passed

GEORGIA PROHIBITION
nE CTRTNGEN

Three stringent prohibition bills
have been reported favorably to the
Georgia Senate. The bills provide
against the sale of liquor into or with
in the State; against advertising alco-
holic beverages and against near
beer and locker clubs
Heretofore, although Georgia has
been nominally a dry State. in such
cities as Atlanta, prohibition applied
only to the sale of spirituous liquors.
The sale of per cent. beer had been
perfectly legal.
1t is generally conceded in Atlanta
that all of these prohl p1tion bills will
pass the senate without trouble. In
the house they will encounter a fight,
but their chances are good. There is
no doubt whatever that sentiment in
Georgia is overwhelming in favor of
the measures.

tobacco, in various forms, however,

done to the wrappers Of cigars and
cigarettes, through which it eats small

The larvae live upon the tobacco leaf,

Apart from the actual destruction of
