In expressing the belief that the ma

the sinking CT vessel with Americans

FOUND DEAD

Fred Petri, better known in Wau-
sau and vicinity by the name of Buck
shot," was found dead on the Frank
Menier farm, where he was living,
Sunday afternoon. The dead body
was found by Lawrence Berth, little
boy of this city, who was visiting his
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Berth,
who live about a quarter of a mile
from the Menier farm. Mr.. Berth had
sent his grandson to the farm to get
Mr.. Petri to spend Sunday afternoon
with him, and upon the young lads
arrival at the farm found the dead
man in the yard. The little boy re-
turned to the home of his grandpar-
ents and told them of what he had
found. Coroner William Meilahn was
notified and decided an inquest was
not necessary, that the man died from
exposure and heart trouble due to
acute alcoholism. He must have
passed away some time during Satur-
day. A watch was found upon his
person, which showed that the time
piece had stopped running at a quarter
to nine. Mr.. Petri was living alone
on the farm, where he had made his
home through the kindness of Mr.. and
Mrs. Menier. On Saturday afternoon
Mr.. Menier visited Petri and he was
then arranging barrel under water
spout. Death must have claimed him
while he was engaged in this work
for his saw was still in the rain
barrel, and he was found with his coat,
cap and gloves on. He was born in
Germany and was about sixty years
of age. The remains were brought to
this city and taken to the Ritter &
Deutsch undertaking rooms, and he
was buried from that place this after
noon.

HOW
To Make the Garden a
Livable Place

@O make the garden livable It
must be furnished. Nature
may provide the setting and
the color scheme, but mans
ingenuity Is required to supply the
seats and summer houses, the bird
baths and pools, the pergolas and sun
d'als or as many of these things as It
may seem expedient and wise to have.
Garden furniture is less expensive than
1t used to be-leSs expensive and bet.
ter. Moreover, there is great variety.
Good rustic pieces may be made at
home, or, time and skill being lacking,
they may be bought. So also may de-
lightful old English seats and tables,
while pergolas and arbors of artistic
design and good workmanship may be
obtained ready made and set up In the
garden with but very little labor. In
fact, every sort of garden furniture
from summer house down to bird
houses is now on the market. There
are even artistic bird baths and pedes-
tails made of wood and much cheaper
than those of marble or even OF COM
position
OF course cement has come to take a
prominent place in the garden and is
used in making pedestals for sun dials,
bird baths and pools as well as for
benches and seats. To many minds no
garden has really been brought to date
until it has been equipped with a pool
In which water lilies may be grown,
with the glistening sides of goldfish
flashing among them. Such pools need
not be at all expensive and are not diff
ticult TO construct when good Portland
cement is the material used.

Cuttings from many plants growing
in the window garden will root readily
at this season, and in Conservatives
and greenhouses cuttings should be
made freely now.
Clean, sharp sand Is the best for root
ing cuttings generally, though gera-
mum cuttings can be made and potted
up in thumb pots. The cuttings should
be made just below bud, trimming
off all the foliage except a leaf or two
at the top of the cutting, and the top
half of these leaves may be clipped off.
Be careful to have the sand firm about
the base of the cutting, setting it half
its length below the surface. Water
thoroughly and shade from the sun. not
allowing the soil to become dry.

FOR SPRING HOUSECLEANING.
How to Polish Furniture So That IL
Looks Like New.


Polished furniture should require no
other treatment than washing with
warm water, to which a very little
methylated spirit has been added, fol-
lowed by a vigorous rubbing with very
soft cloths. For furniture which has
been stained and polished and has be-
come scratched it is best to get good
oil and color man or a furniture dealer
to put up a French polish mixture,
which can be used very sparingly. Pol
ishing with thin beeswax and tur-
pentine polish answers satisfactorily
If there are no scratches.
For the cheaper kinds of furniture
mixture of methylated spirit with a
small quantity of orange shellac can
be used. This will remove scratches
and brighten the furniture, but must
be used sparingly. If the furniture

ish can be used or a mixture OF lin

equal parts.

How to Make Your Worn Out Garden
Soil More Fertile.
In many cases rotted stable manure
and humus will prove all that the gar
dener need add to make his garden fer
tile, but in some cases, especially where
the ground is being worked annually,
it will be well to add commercial
fertilizer The best results are usually
gained by the rotation of crops-that is,
by never planting the same piece of
ground with the same crop two years
in succession.
The government agricultural bureau
issues charts and pamphlets showing
the proper rotation Of crops which will
prove invaluable to the gardener. They
can be obtained, along with much other
valuable information. for the asking.
