HOME GARDEN SHOULD BE

Practically any type Of soil can DO

is to be preferred.
Good drainage is Of prime import

not be so great as to wash the SOIL

Secretary McAdoo's brother Malcolm, of New York
on hearing that Lawson had connected his and his
brothers name with the leak scandal expressed the hope
that his brother would punch Lawsons head for him.
That would no doubt cause both brothers considerable
personal satisfaction but it is doubtful it would clear
up the scandal Punching heads is not considered the
polite or proper thing since proposals for world peace
are being discussed Besides it is argument that does
not even convince the fellow whose head is punched
and in this Lawson might prove the superior punch
