stand.

Jockey Fator, who had the leg up on
McTaggart and interrogated him about
his ride. They asked him about the
instructions he received and whether
or not his trainer, y. l.. Boyer, had
instructed him to carry his whip in
his boot instead of using 1t freely. He
said he had received no such instruc-
tions and that he followed his own
judgment in not using it. The stewards
told him they didn't like the way he
handled his mount especially his weak
finish, and warned him that a repeti-
tion of it would mean the loss of his
license.
Joseph L. Wideners old erratic geld

havior and ran a smashing race in

easily by five lengths. Toppy Nix ran
an excellent race considering It was his
first start in two years. Crest Hill,

they rescinded tina order. They know
Weiner was guilty OF rough riding but as
half a dozen others were just as guilty
they decided it would be unfair to
punish him and allow the others to

GARDEN NOTES

Did you plant any sweet corn for
late summer and fall use? Try a
planting of Golden Bantam now. 1t
should mature ears large enough for
table use before killing frosts occur.
Remember that the strawberry is a
shallow rooted plant For this rea-
son cultivation should not be too deep.
A good dirt mulch an inch or two in
depth is sufficient.
1t is often easier to prevent gar
den troubles" than to "cure" them af-
ter they appear. Keep the plants
vigorous and healthy by frequent Gull
tivation and proper fertilizing, thin
ming and spraying.
If the currant worm becomes SER
ious when the fruit is nearly ripe,
fresh hellebore should be used AS a
spray, apply at the rate of A ounces
in 2 or 3 gallons Of water; or the
plants may be busted with a mix
ture of | pound Of the material in 5
pounds Of flour or air Stacked lime.
Don't leave vacant spaces in the
garden where the early crops have
been grown. An ideal vegetable gar
den is one that produces a continuous
supply Of a variety Of crops through
out the season. Plan during June for
crops which will mature during the
late summer and fall months.

Young Billy Mcclellan loved Milliccnt Sheehan,
smart and an up-to-date girl;
"Oh Milly" said Billy, "Youre driving me silly,
My head and my hearts in Il whirl,
And they won't be steadied until welded;
So honey, please answer me yes
For though I'm not wealthy I'm willing and healthy
And can support you, / guess"
"I'm not mercenary," said Milly mot very,
don't ask for riches or gold,
But, Oh, am leary of homework, my dearie
Which makes girl dowdy and old
/ love you heap bat wont dust and sweep
Or wash till I'm dazed in the dome
To marry this frail you must make enough kale
To have an Electrical Home.
"A home in whose inches outlets and switches
To which you hitch what you please
washing machine or vacuum cleaner,
lamp-or fan for "A breeze;
Electrical heaters and omeiette heaters
Whose product is lighter than foam,
I'll wed you with JOY If you'll give me, dear boy,
lovely Electrical Homei'
Said Billy "Great Scott but you know watt is watt
And you shall have all that you ask
I'll give you enough of electrical stuff
To aid you at any old task
You'll never be tired, I'll have the house wired
From garnet clear down to the Oam
So marry me now and III get you, /
coy Electrical Home!"
So Bill and his wife live an untroubled life
With every convenience at hand,
Electrical coasters and ranges and roasters
Make housekeeping perfectly grand;
They're fitted indeed with whatever they need,
Their comfort and health are sublime
Though I'm willing to bet Bill and Milly will get
An electrical go-cart in time!

MEXICO FIGHTS ILLITERAcY.

Illiteracy in Mexico is decreasing slowly under the efforts of volunteer teachers. Over 1,5O0 teachers have enrolled for the task, and probably 1000 of them have been accomplish ing good results. About 10000 il- literates have been fortunate enough to receive an impulse toward inn proving themselves. The National university, which is at the head of the national education system, grants certificates to these volunteer teachers, who serve without pay. Some others, without any formal recognition from the university, have been doing good work where they can, among their servants and neighboring poor.

A QUICK TURF.

A new method of making turf for golf courses with almost miracu- lous quickness consists in stripping
 If good sod to depth of an inch
 md half and running it through feed-cutter, so arranged as to slit the sod into ribbons. The latter are then shredded by hand, leaving a mass of grass roots, which are sown broadcast over ground previously prepared by blowing and narrowing. This accomplished, the ground is rolled, and within three or four weeks the golf course is covered with a fine, thick carpet of grass, without waiting for seed to grow.-Philadel- phia Ledger.

"sEEs" IN THE DARK.

At a distance of 600 feet, in total darkness, Samuel o. Hoffman of San Francisco asserts that with the aid of delicate instrument for the detection of heat waves he can tell whether one, two or several persons are present. His invention is a com bination of thermopiles, a reflector and galvanometer. The instru- ment, which acts much as sound detector, is sensitive to heat waves and can be developed to the point where a complete silhouette of an objective can be given, showing the outlines from which heat waves ema- nate. It can also be used for the detection of airplanes thousands of feet in the air.
