LOOK OUT, "HERBAE PRATT"

Many persons have been victimiz-
ed by the Zenith Lawn Accessory
Company, a firm with numerous
a grass seed mixture under the
coined name "Herbae Pratt. The
Post Office Department has denied
the company the use OF the mail.
According to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, grossly err
roneous statements as to its suit
ability for lawns have been made.
Its qualities have been proclaimed
in such phrases as 1.-THE boss of
all grasses" "the worlds most
beautiful bluegrass" "a lawn in 80
days anywhere" at will grow
where other grasses have failed.
In n soil or climate" "heat, cold.
or shade will not affect it."
An analysis of the mixture made
by the department seed testing Ia
boratory showed 1t to be composed
mainly of meadow fescue and Ital-
ian rye grass. The victims have
paid as high as $3.50 a pound for
the mixture, whereas, according to
of the Berbae Pratt mixture could
have been purchased from reput-
able seed firms for not more than
IS to 90 cents a pound.
The postal fraud order has put
a stop to the use of the mails by
the firm, but travelling agents are
still active throughout the country,
especially in the Southern States
at present, selling "Herbae Pratt
by house to house canvass and to
local seed handlers.
Meadow fescue Is not a lawn
grass. In the humid sections OF
the United States 1t Is a good mea-
dow and pasture grass when used
in mixtures with other grasses, but
1t nay be said unqualifiedly that
IL is not a desirable lawn grass
nor is 1t drought-resistant in the
commanly accepted sense of term

Benefit of the Doubt

Quizzing a boy is not always so
easy as it seems. Here is an in
stance in which a New Yorker came
out second best in a passage of re-
partee with a lad named Richard,
who looked after the hat room in a
well-known cafe.
The diner started out of the cafe
after his meal and was seized, as
Richard handed his hat, with an
impulse to quiz the lad.
"Is this my haiti" he demanded.

well, then. why do you hand it
to me if you don't know whether it
is my hat or not?"
Because it is the one you handed

lawn mixtures for quick and tenn
porary results. Meadow fescue
and Italian rye grass are not turf
forming grasses, but grow in bunch
es much the same as timothy, and,
therefore, 1t is impossible for them
to make a velvety turf. By nature
of their growth they are not agrees
sive against weeds and creeping
grasses, and they are no more toll
Grant of shade than is Kentucky
bluegrass.

An increase of $4,000 in federal

as an indication Of business pros

A total tax of $245.386.94 was
paid during the period. ending Mar.

pared to s~190.644.72, paid during
the same period in 1925 by 279
corporations.
The payment of taxes is regard
ed as an accurate barometer of bust
ness conditions, it was stated.
Due to the increased exemptions
in the revenue act of 1926, the in
dividual income tax returns for
the state during the last three
month period were considerably
total of 500, 302.65 has been re-
corded for. the state under the new

Income tax collections curing the
fiscal year of 1925 in Wyoming
amounted to $1,450.159.93, compar-
ed with $1.595.540 for 1924. a
decrease of 9.5 per cent.
An analysis of individual tax re-
turns filed by counties in 1925,
showed Natrona county leading with
5,497 returns and Laramie county

BROADWAY IN THE SIXTIES

M. Alexander 90 years old and a New Yorker, explains the whole thing. He says that it is safer to cross Broadway now than it was in the sixties. The police are on the job today, but in those forgotten years it was every cabby, stage driver and pedestrian for himself. From this one inn mediately deduces that pedestrians are so often run dayn not because automoblllsts are more brutal or careless than their an- cestors, but because the automobiles them selves are so frequent. To those who like to think we'll of the human race this Is a mildly encouraging thought.

LORD KITCHENER

The Prince of Wales on Monday un- yelled a monument of Lord Kitchener on the famous Horse Guards parade, but he could not unveil the rather fantastic mys- te1y which is being erected, little by little, to commemorate the field marshals tragic vanishing from view. Strangely enough, a considerable part of the British public re- solutely refuses to accept the official ac- count of the sinking of the Hampshire, and myth-making on the subject has become a favorite sport during the last ten years. The rallying point of the mystery-seekers is the persistent refusal of the admiraity to publish documents embodying the off cial Investigation; and they have even gone so far as to form an organization to keep the matter alive with periodical demands for publication. The Kitchener myths, ap- parently, have little or nothing to feed on; but that does not prevent their growing year by year.
