MAKE BACK YARD ATTRACTIVE
Cost Need Not Be Great II 4 Little
Care 10 Given to Proper
Expenditure. a.

Why not make the back yard just
% attractive, or even more isattrac.
tive, than is the front lawn? It can
easily be done and at very small ex.
pense. Instead Of piles of rubbish, an
unsightly ash barrel or two, a more
unsightly garbage receiver, unsightly
clothes-line poles, etc., take q little
time and spend little money and
make the back yard lawn or garden
Q place upon which you will like to
pass a portion Of every day.
First, by an underground garbage re.
ceiver, which is sanitary, does not
take up space in the yard, keeps away
rodents, and is permanent invest
ment. The cover operates by q sim.
pie foot trip, . blessing for the WON.
enfolks.
Keep the ash barrels in the cellar
Or under the piazza, where they may
be screened from sight.
Then. instead Of the clothesline
poles, bare and dirty, build a, pergola
around them and cover it with climb.
ing vines which will keep green all
summer; this will cost only few dol.
lars, and will add hundreds of dol
lars worth to the beauty of the back
yard.
Then, If you have two or thres
shade trees there-and II you have
not, you had better have some trans.
planted at once-build around each
one q rustic seat; this you can do
yourself at the expense of only Q
pound or two of nails and . few
hours Of work cutting the sticks which
you will need from some nearby
grove.

NOVEL SCHEME OF SICK MAN
Patient Borrowed Money From Physl.
clan to Pay Surgeon, Then Failed
to Make Good.

Some time ago an eminent physi-
clan requested an equally eminent sur
ge0n to accompany him to see q dis
tinguished patient, and he readily
agreed. The patient (who was al.
ways very loath to pay his debts) was
exceedingly polite to both the medical
men, shaking hands with them and
bowling them out of the room in the
most affable manner.
Soon after this professional visit the
same physician called again on the
surgeon, requesting him to accompany
him to see another patient. On their
way thither the surgeon remarked:
Il hope this patient will behave
more literally than the last did,"
Why" said the physician, did he
not give you q fee?"
mot shilling" was the reply.
"Indeed!" said the other, with q
toss of his head. t'Why, he borrowed

This rs story / want to tell to
Johnny and Tommy and the rest of
the bunch who are being thrilled by
stories of baby bandits" and figur-
ing what an adventure it must be ito
stick up a guy and take his roll and
get away with it.
There were three boys in the boys
court yesterday, but l want to talk
to you about just one of them.
His name is Stanley and he is IS.
He's not a bit romantic l haven't
yet seen a really romantic-looking
boy criminal He is understood and
sallow and his voice sounded terri
bly, weary, for he has stopped think
ing about the adventure and he has
been thinking about the price he
must pay.
Because of his thoughts about the
price he must pay, because he knew
that the law would make him pay, he
surrendered himself and in court as
he told his story l wished that
Johnny and Tommy and the rest of
the bunch might have listened to
him.
81 met this guy and we went to
another guys house and we framed
the job there and got a gun and went
out to 58th and Grand av. and stuck
up the guy in the bakery and got
$40"
He stopped. That was all there
was of the story to Stanley. There
wasn't anything thrilling about it.
He had stuck a gun to mans chest
while his pals robbed the man, and
then Stanley had lodged around like
a hunted thing, knowing he would
be arrested and knowing he would be
punished, until in order to get it over
with he gave himself up.
Were you ever arrested before?"
asked Judge Fisher.

while and then l stopped it, and it
was so quiet sitting home, so l told
my mother l was working overtime
and 1 was out on the street and

Stanley stopped and waited.

judge. Stanley and the other two"
They led Stanley away with the

he waited for the wagon to come and

boy who lies with bullet in his body

until the boy criminal wins his fight
with death that he may be punished
with what is a living death-incar-

There is no glamor in throwing

There are very few Democrats,
we hope, who feel that any good
purpose can be accomplished by
fomenting factional differences
within the ranks of the Demo
cratic party. To all such per-
sons, the Kansas City election
returns should afford an i'm
pressive lesson. Kansas City is
now Republican city solely be-
cause of a quarrel among Demo-
Gratis. But the people of Kansas
City are not Republicans at
heart, and Jackson county, it is
confidently believed, will show
up with her old-tim Democratic
majority in November.

If the people of st. Louis want
to reduce their taxes by lower.
ing their assessed valuation they
have the right to do so, and we
think they should. Something
should be done to abate the ex-
travagance of the st. Louis Re.
publican machine. But this does
not afford any reason for increas.
ing the taxes on Missouri farms.
1t is costing twice as much to
govern the city of st. Louis as ii
costs to govern the entire State
of Missouri. St. Louis is a Re.
publican city, and if those people
want their money wasted by in
competent public officials, that is
their business. But the people
of Missouri do not take kindly OF

Summing up the linen situation re- gently, one of the principal importers to this market spoke this way: "Busi ness is as active as 1t ever is at this time of the year, when everyone is trying to reduce stocks as far as pos sible before taking inventory, and or ders are placed only for goods that are really needed to meet some special de- mand or to fill out broken line. Flax continues to get scarcer and dearer as time goes on, and linens of all kinds are also getting scarcer and dearer. This will continue, at least until the war ends. In many cases merchandise Is still being let out in this market be- low the cost of replacement, and this will be done as long as present meth ods of averaging up buying and sell Ing prices are retained" New York Times.

New Buo Killer.

A new piece of agricultural appa- ratus has been developed for the ppr- pose of combating the destructive bugs and undesirable vegetable growths by an application of steam to the soil penetrating some distance below the surface. The machine carries a steam generating plant and moves over the surface on large drum, the periphery of which is staggered with protruding stream outlets in the shape of blades or spines. AS the apparatus is drawn over the ground the spines imbed them selves in the soil and while in this po- sition the steam Is released and pene- trates the soil for some distance around the outlet, killing the worms, larvae and bugs and the undesirable crop of weeds which seed themselves from one season to another.

Janan,s Factory Law.

Operation under the new factory law in Japan, which was to have gone into effect on June l, has been postponed for two months by order of the privy council in order that the regulations may be revised. These, it is pointed out, did not sufficiently guard the interests of the workers and would result in confusion if at once enforced. To the working people of the United States the hours of labor permitted under the new law will meen extraordinary long, but it must be remembered that fac tory work is young in Japan and that the working hours are founded on the hours voluntarily devoted to work by the people on the farms or in their own workshops-twelve to six teen hours day. The most import ant thing is the forbidding of child work under 10 years and limiting the hours of girls under 15. It is, on the whole, an advance on conditions as they have been and will open the way to further concessions to labor.
