GRASS GROWN WITHOUT SEED
Best Strains Have Been Developed by
Cutting Up Runners From Thrifty
Looking Spots.

Many good turf grasses that repro
duce by runners have lost the habit
Of producing seed. and for this reason
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has been experimenting with
the vegetative propagation of some OF
the most satisfactory strains of bent
grasses. Better strains have been de-
veloped by finding spots in lawns and
on golf courses where the turf was
particularly good, cutting up the rum
ners and planting these cuttings In in
crease plots. Most of this work has
been done In northern states, although
some good strains of Bermuda grass
have been selected which give promise
of value in the South.
A number Of commercial growers
have been working. on these improved
grasses and now have cuttings for sale.
However. 1t. lie possible for person
TO improye his own lawn or for

course by selecting spots where the
grass.is particularly good and growing

One morning was just finishing
the sweeping when my brother and
his family, whom I had not seen for
a couple Of years, drove In the yard.
With them were n couple Of we'll

embarrassed to have them find me
with hair disheveled and dust
streaked face. However. I welcomed
them graciously and we sat down to
talk.
I noticed that Bobby, my small
nephew, was studying me intently,
and during lull in the conversation
he said: "Auntie, You must have been
good looking when you were young"
"Yes," beamed, with my pleasant

SAFE PLACE FOR VALUABLES
Should Welcome Idea That Gomez
From Buenos Aires.

In these days of lawlessness, when
the honest citizen cannot take walk
around the block with any certainty
that he will not be held up by .
bandit, the novel idea Of Antonio Mon
AGO. a citizen Of Buenos Aires, ought
to be of value.
He suggests suspenders with pock.
cts attached to them-two pockets,
that is to say, each of them being
fastened with u buckle to the loop Of
the "gallus" Mt the font. The lower
end Of each pocket has two button
holes, which button onto the ordinary
buttons of the wnistband of the trOus-
ers. thus making the pocket fatty Sc
cure against the body of the wearer.
To prevent escape of Its contents, ench
pocket is provided with buttoned
flap.
Few bandits would think of looking
for loot beneath mans waistcoat-
and SO .the suspender pocket should
afford excellent hiding places for
money. Against pickpockets they
ought to furnish perfect protection.

ST0RK MADE LONG JOURNEY
Bird Flew From Africa to Germany
With 4 Message From Exile to
the Fatherland.

The population Of Liskau, Germany.
noticed one day recently that one Of
the many storks which annually re-
turn to the neighborhood from distant
southern zones to rebuild their nests
was carrying something about its neck
which only human hands could have
fastened there.
Repeated efforts to approach the
bird had failed. but one Of the VII
layers finally lured the stork into his
barn and then and there learned that
the bird carried n little leather case
in which note was inclosed. The
note revealed that the stork had come
all the way from East Africa, where
a German colonist, Will Bucha. has
his little farm near Victoria lake.
Bucha must have anticipated that
the bird spent his annual vacation in
his beloved fatherland, SO he wrote !:
"Just greeting to the fatherland,"
and used the stork to convey his
message.
