and often. All through April, May,
and June the grass can be cut with
profit each week II should be cut

It falls. Do not rake the lawn. Do
not let the grass get SO long before
cutting that 1t must be raked. With
the frequent showers of May and June,
the grass will grow rapidly after each
cutting, and the clippings will be
quickly hidden During these months
of rapid growth, the clippings make q
mulch over the grass roots, protecting
them from the heat and routh OF Au'
gust and September.
Cut the lawn every week or ten day
IN NAV and June, and until the inten
heat of midsummer Then put q
lawn mower away until the cool Oct
Der days. Let the grass grow long IN
the hot summer time. Iu4ate Septem-
Der cut 1t with scythe, rake off. being
careful not to rake down into the
mulch, and use the lawn mower as
needed in October and November

Art is the work of human

designing our coins is to pre-

Dear Miss Grey: l am a
working girl and would like
to say a few words to all of
these people who have been
writing letters in answer to
Rebels" letter.
I believe a girl should live
right whether 1t makes her
popular or not. Remember
the wild oats we SOW, we
must must reap some day. /
don't see why a good girl
should want a man who pre-
fers the company of bad girls.
He is not any better. 1t is
not absolutely necessary for
a girl to marry. She should
learn to make her own liv-
ing. If this world is getting
so bad that men want to
marry bad girls, ] think 1t is
far better for the good girls to
remain single than to marry
such men and perhaps bring
into this world children to in
herit bad tendencies.
The Bible says the sins of
the parents are visited upon
their children. If there were
more good parents and Chris
tian homes, there would not
be so many inmates in our
reform schools. prisons and
asylums. | heard a lecturer
say not long ago that at the
rate 1t is going now. in a few
years there won't be enough
people outside those institu-
lions to care for those who
are in there. T. G.. X.
