BEST TINE
To MAKE A NEW LAWN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 81
The early part OF September is the
best time for seeding new lawn il
the states south of New England and
north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers
according to plant specialists of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture. Like.
wise, the repairing of lawns lin this
region is much more likely to be suc-
cessful if undertaken in the early
autumn, rather than in the early
spring. The reason late summer and
fall planting is preferable where eli
matte conditions will permit is that
young grass does not stool we'll IN
spring and summer and is rot agrees
i've enough during these seasons to
combat weeds. In the northern tier of
states and New England, these condi-
tions do not hold, and spring is the
best time for lawn work. At that
time in the extreme north the soil is
more open than later in the season and
offers a better seed bed.
Soil Preparation.
The first consideration in making
new lawn is a suitable soil This
should be well drained and of good
texture and should be thoroughly pre-
pared. A good loan will need only
enrichment. This may be brought
about best by dressing of well-rotted
barnyard manure thoroughly worked
in. If manure is not available, 20
pounds of bone meal for each 1000
square feet may be substituted If the
lawn site is of stuff clay moth SAND
and humus, or decayed vegetable mat
ter, must be worked in, if a good turf
is to be secured There is little dan
| ger of using too much of either o.
these materials. Light, sandy soils
should have clay and humus worked
il to increase their water-holding ca
pacity. The humus may be supplied in
! the form of manure compost, or soil
from mushroom beds at the rate of
one-haIf taon to 1000 square feet of
area. After the proper constituents
are supplied, the lawn soil should be
thoroughly stirred and fined This
preparation should begin several
weeks before seeding time to allow
sufficient time for the ground to settle
and for weeds to terminate.
Seed and Seeding.
Kentucky blue grass is, in general,
tie most desirable turf-forming grass
for lawn use in the northern part CT
TIE United States. For best results it
usually is made the predominant in
gredient in mixtures containing the
seeds also of several other grasses ami
white clover. A mixture found salts
factory dy departments pecialists con-
sists of II parts of Kentucky blue
grass, 4 parts re-cleaned redtop, 3
parts perennial rye grass, and 1 part
white clover. Those planting lawns
must not make the mistake of sowing

Where He Made His Money.

Years ago gentleman settled in the
south Of England and became very
popular in the neighborhood. The
county families could never discover
how he had made his money, but were
satisfied by his solemn assurance that
it was not in trade. Nothing could ex-
coed the ordinary gravity of his de-
meanor. which indeed caused him to
be placed on the commission of peace
but now and then. without any appar-
ent provocation, he would burst into
such laugh as no one ever heard be-
fore except in one place. Where they
could have heard it puzzled the county
families for five and twenty years, but
1t last he was betrayed unconsciOusly
by his own grandchild, who. after a
visit to a travelling circus. innocently
exclaimed. why. grandpa laughs just
like the clown!"-James Payn.

Passed Away Sunday

After an illness extending
little over . week, Hazel, daugh-
tor Of 1r. Barker Thompson.
passed away on Sunday after
noon at five o'clock, the cause of
her death being peritonitis.
Hazel was Ii years, : months
and "a days old at time Of death.
The funeral was held Monday
afternoon from the Thompson
residence on west 9Th street,
the sermon being preached by
Rev. Chr. Christensen, pastor
Of the Norwegian Lutheran
church. Interment was in the
Woodland cemetery. The mem
bers of Hazeps Sunday school
class of the Methodist Sunday
school acted as pail bearers.
Hazel was a bright child and
beloved by those who knew her.
Her death is particularly sad to
the family and to the friends Of
the family as it is the second
one occurring in the Thompson
family in the past week, Mrs.
Thompson having passed away
little more than a week ago.
Hazel was taken sick on the
day of her mothers funeral but
she was not considered seriously
i'll until Friday when she took a
turn for the worse. Although
everything possible was done
for her, yet the efforts were of
no avail, and the life of the little
girl went out Sunday afternoon.
Floyd Thompson, a son, 10 also
seriously i'll at the St. Joseph
hospital at Ashland where he
was taken the day following his
mothers death.
The two deaths in the Thomp-
son family in = week and the
serious illness Of q SON has been
q severe shock to the family and
10 almost more than they are
able to bear. The sympathy Of
the community goes out to them
in their sad bereavent.

The interest of the people OF

on the wet and dry" question
which will be fought out again this
spring. She campaign gives promise
Of being one of the most strenuous
in the history of the city of Ashland
and it would not be at all surprising
if the Garland city would 60 into the
dry column.
Profting by the experience OF last
year the dry forces of Ashland are
arranging for campaign that they
say will make Ashland dry, and COM
mittees have been appointed for
carrying on the fight.
The Ashland vets cannot point to
Washburn as an example of what no.
license will do for town, for fear OF
hurting their cause, for if ever there
was city that has made gains it is
this city where bank deposits have
doubled, business has more than
doubled and there is not a vacant
piece of property in the city.
Ashland is not the only city where
a campaign will be waged. Bayfield,
is going to fight the issue out again
this spring with the chances of the
Harbor city remaining dry. Superb
or is also waging hot campaign and
the dry" forces ar confident of vic
tory. Last spring Superior went
wet by the small majority of fifteen,
which had not ought to be hard to
overcome. Iron River, too, is to
vote on the question.

Immediately. To prevent this the end

and this is best done by soaring in

water.
The florists of California 60 so far as
to boil the stems of the brilliant poin-
settias or Christmas flowers. for which
they are so famous The stem is first
stuck through large sheet of paper to
prevent the steam from rising directly
into the flower and injuring it,
Carnations and chrysanthemums will
keep almost twice as long if placed in
fresh water daily. and small piece is
clipped from the ends of the stems
each time. While cutting this piece off
keep the stem under water so that no
air bubbles are allowed to enter the
stalk and thus retard the upward flow

If large headed flowers, such as
chrysanthemums or peonies, are to be
sent some distance insure their arriv-

blossom separately in waxed paper.

That Building Ordinance

Our attention has this week
been called to a violation Of the
building ordinance of the city,
wherein an addition 10 being
built to the Olson building on
Bayfield, street near Washing
ton avenue.
This building is in the district
covered by the fire ordinance
and unless g permit is issued
the new addition is in violation
of the building ordinance.
This building ordinance was
passed in good faith by the
Common Council and has the
backing of the Commercial Club
of the city.
When a small addition is con-
templated to a building in the
district an "awful howl" is put
up and all sorts of excuses are
put forth why the building
should be permitted. The
question is where shall the line
be drawn? If small additions
are to be permitted what can be
said if some one bobs up who
wants to build an addition on a
little larger scale? The one is
az much violation OF the ordi-
nance a. the other.
The ordinance was passed for
the purpose of keeping out fire
traps from the district covered
by it. and while it seems to
work a hardship on those who
contemplate . small addition,
yet the same people who are
now complaining would set w
an awful howl if frame build.
ings were allowed which would
increase the rate of their in
surance.
Let's be consistent in the en-
forcement of the ordinance.
