GIVE YOUR LAWN a DRINK.
But Don't Sprinkle II in Hot
Weather Unless You Want
to Kill It.,

Don't sprinkle The lawn in hot
weather unless YOU want to Kill
it. Sprinkling only shoriens the
life of the grass by drawing the
grass roots to the surface of the
ground. where The hot sun soon
kills them.
Soak the lawn once a week,
says n. j. Prarse. landscape gar
dcnrr at HE Iowa State college.
and then don't sprinkle i'm be-
tween. Take the nozzle off the
hose and lay il on the ground. is
the method he advises. Turn ON
The water and let il soak up a
part of he lawn for half an hour.
Then move il across the lawn so
that finally all of the lawn has had
a thorough soaking. This should
be done at night and il may take
several nights To get over all of
the lawn. but il pays i'm the end.
In soaking the lawn don't
force a heavy stream against The
grass. as that will only wash Ia
soil away from the roots. Dirnc!
the stream so that it will spread
out and run among The grass
plants. Ono of The best WAYS to
do This is to let the hose run ills
stream upon a small board and
This will help Distribute it.
Spiinkling never pays. Give the
lawn a drink as nearly like it
would receive from Il good rain
once a week. and the results will
be evident.

MAN IS SHOT
 TN DOUGLAS
 LIFE IS SAVED
Pocket of Coin Stops the Bullet Sent on Its Death Mission by
 a Slovenian.
ASSAULTER IS ARRESTED

DOUGLAS, Sept. SO.-Just be- fore l2 o'clock today there was shooting scrape in the Victor Bar on Front street when Chris Via vich took one shot at Chris Va vich. Fortunately the bullet struck the pocked of Vavich in which was a bunch of silver coins, the result being that the latter was practi- cally uninjured by the bullet except for bruise, the money stopping the force of the ball.
 Viavich was immediately arrest ed and taken to jail. He is an eld- erly man and has a bad reputation. He had been drinking heavily for several days. Both Viavich and Vavich are Slavonians.
 Chris vavich, the man shot, is a brother of Nick Vavich who for merly conducted the Victor Bar but who died in Oregon early in June having gone there for his health three weeks previous to his death.
 Chris Vavich, although an Amer lea citizen left here more than a year ago for his old home in Eu- rope and while there enlisted in the war. He was shot twice while in service, once in the hand and once in the mouth. At the time of the latter wound he was be- hind a stump and the ball passed through portion of the stump and through his cheek By that time it's force was spent and Vavich says he just spit the bullet out the same as though it had been a chew of tobacco.
 After spending a few months in the war he was released through the intervention of the American consul. He returned to America coming on to Douglas about three months ago.

Federal Reserve Bank Law VIII Prevent Any PaniCS of
 Monied Men.

SEATTLE, Sept. 30. - Senator James Hamilton Lewis delivered a masterful speech at the arena last night declaring at the outset that The people of the State of Wash ington made me all that I am"
 The Senator spoke for nearly three hours holding the close at- tention of a crowd easily estimated at ten thousand. He assured his auditors that he was not going to touch the tariff, feeling very much like the old negro woman did after many insults of an invited guest, he taunting her on the duty she had paid for her kitchen uten- sils, smashed him in the face with a pot of boiling coffee.
 Senator Lewis challenged the Re- publican charge that prosperity of the country was que 70 the GurO- pean war. He pointed out that a panic manipulated by Wall Street followed the war with Germany and France in 1871, and that an- other was precipitated by the mon ey gamblers in 1907 following close ly the close of the war between Russia and Japan.
 Senator Lewis said that under the Federal reserve banking law made by the Democratic Congress and a Democratic President, such iniquties would no longer be pOssi- ble and that the merit of Democratic policies generally brought the good times to this country. Senator Lew is replied and tore to pieces the ar guments of Chas. E. Hughes against the administrators law.

CREDIT IS PRESIDENTS
Active Support of Admins tration Caused Passage
 of the Measure.

United States Senator George E. Chamberlain, of Oregon, one of the best friends that Alaska has in either of the houses of Congress, fatly contradicts the statements made by Delegate James Wicker sham in his Juneau and Douglas speeches that he secured the appro- priation for the Alaska railroad, that he wrote the bill that Senator Chamberlain introduced in the Senate, and requested Senator Cham berlain to introduce it. Senator Chamberlain says 1t if had not been for the active support" of President Wilson and the admins tratiOn the bill would not have passed at all.
 The editor of The Empire sent a telegram to Senator Chamberlain, informing him of the claims ad- vanced by Delegate Wickersham in his Alaska speeches, and asked him if the statements of the Delegate were true. The answer came quick ly.
 Delegate wickersham in his Ju- neau speech said;
 T got the Alaska railroad. It was my bill. l wrote it. I gave it to Senator Chamberlain and request ed him to introduce it in the Sen ate. He introduced it in the Sem ate the same day I introduced it in the House.
 In his Douglas speech he re- peated almost the same words.
