CEMENT LAWNS LATEST THING
 IN CALIFORNIA

Los Angeles, Cal. June 24--A lawn that is not a lawn, but looks like a lawn and is said by its owner to be better than a lawn-a water less. mowerless, weedless, gopherless 1awn-in short, a cement dawn" painted grass-green, has made it's ap. pearance in front of a Los Angeles bungalow.
 Mrs. A. c. Woodward, inventor and owner, says it saves time, money and worry. Shs never has to water it; she never has to cut it; it is always dry enough to sit on-and it needs paint ing only once a year.
 She has circular holes cut through the lawn and in them and along the edges she has flowers planted.
 'I invented the cement lawn" she said, ~because of trouble I had in getting a man to take care of my old grass lawn. It cost only S65.
 You don't know what a blessing it fs," she continued. "Do you know, I believe there would be much less unhappfness in married life if the hus- band would use a cement instead of a grass lawn and so avoid having to come homo after work and run an old Iawn-mower over the front yard every night"

EQUAL RIGHTS
 FOR ALL URGED
 FOR PALESTINE

London, June A.---Public ownership of land, a cooperative commonwealth, and equal rights for all, were advo- cated here today as the three leading principles in the social program American Zionists desire incorporated in the project for a Jewish Homeland in Palestine, by Jacob de Haas, exc cutive secretary of the Zionist Organ ization of America. He said:
 The Zionists are not going to be satisfied with a Palestine or land of Israel, which will be a mere dupli- cate of the numerous small states of Europe or South America They be lieve that the 2,000 years of suffering and n1artyrdom of the wandering Jew has given to our race a wealth of ex- perience which, added to the ancient heritage of the Jew, can be made fruitful in the creation of model settlement in the land of our for fathers.
 ''The Zionists of America have re- solved that the benefits which come through increasing land values will not go into the pockets of land spec ulators, but will always rems m community values,' which will go In- to the public treasury.
 ''The Zionists of America are re- solved to encourage cooperative en- terprise to the largest extent possible, so that a cooperative commonwealth may be gradually evolved, without however, crushing individual initia- tive.
 Whereas, we confine our program of equal rights to the narrow fields of politics, the Zionists of America would apply it to all of Palestinian life-to politics and economics, to law and industry, to man and woman, to every sect and every creed"

HARVEST SEASON
 IS AT HAND IN
 WESTERN STATES

Oklahoma City, Okla, June A--- The song of the mower and the header is being heard throughout the southwest and under the hot June sun the army of harvesters are gath ering the 1920 grain crops
 Like a great wave, the workers that have come from all parts of the coun- try to garner Oklahoma's grain will sweep northward as the fields turn golden and are ready for the sickle. Cutting already is in progress in the southern fringe of Kansas and the season will be in full spring in that state in a few days, according to fed- eral and state agricultural authori- ties.
 Oklahoma wheat went into the har- vest with condition estimated by the state and federal cooperative crop reporting service at S3 per cent of a normal. It was expected at that time that 35,o0O,O00 bushels of grain would be harvested, as compared to an estimate of 27,000,oOO bushels a month previous
 The problem of storing the larger part of the 1920 grain crops in the state confronts the farmer this year, owing to an acute car shortage. A statewide campaign has been con- ducted to interest bankers and busi- ness men in financing the farmers to enable them to construct adequate storage facilities. Twenty-Five thous- and new elevators are needed to hold the new crop, according to John A Whitehurst, president of the state board of agriculture, and 5,00O,O0O bushels of the 1919 crop still remain to be moved.

REPUDATING ROOSEVELT

The Republican party, while cheer ing the name of Roosevelt, has fin- ally repudiated his work, root and branch. In nominating Harding it haS reverted to the condition from which its progressive members have labored and fought for so long to emancipate it. Senator Harding rep resents precisely and completiy the standards, the methods and the ideas which prevailed at the time of Roose- velt's accession to the Presidency, and which at that time were rather more defensible than they are today The progressive agitation of the last twenty years within the Republican party has ended in flat failure, It has deliberately renouneed the ten- deney to pregressivisna with which 1t started on its career. It has left Republicans who prefer progressiv- ism to Republication no alternative but to get out of. the party. It has vindieated the action of those Repub- Ieans who renouneed their allegiance on the day Taft was nominated and who have never seen any sufficient reason for renewing it.-The New Republic,
