Treat Your Lawns This Way
Now is the time to seed new
lawns or reseed old lawns. Use one
pound grass seed per 500 square
feet of yard For sunny yards use
this mixture: 8 pounds Kentucky
blue grass; h. Red Top; / lb.
English rye grass. For shady
lawns use: lb. rough sRlked
meadow grass; ] lb. red fescue;
lb. English rye grass. Fertilize
with 10 lbs. of a 1864 fertilizer to
each 1000 square feet. Follow up
with lb. ammonium sulphate per
i 900 square feet monthly. Al
ways sprinkle lawn heavily immed-
lately after each application of sui
phate of ammonia or nitrate OF
soda. The nitrogen will burn the
grass if you do not wet it down i'm
mediately.
The Flower Garden
The flower garden should be in
full sunshine, If possible. Avoid
having it shaded by buildings or
placing it very close to large trees
The soil should be the best obtain
able: if possible, choose a site that
has been either in good sod or un-
der cultivation for several years. A
patch that contains nothing but
weeds will be a severe handicap.
Cutworms and grubs may be trou-
blesome in soil that has been in sod
unless it is spaded the previous fall.
Annual flowers may either be
grown in beds or in the vegetable
garden. In placing the beds have
them around the foundation of the
house, or around edges of the yard.
Keep the lawn open-it's easier to
NOW Flowers like corn requii e
fertilizer to produce best results
For fertilizer apply rotted barn
yard manure at the rate of two to
five bushels to each 100 square feet
of ground. Fresh manure may be
used. ii applied and spaded in,
preferably in the fall or at least
? months before plants are set out.
Spade or plow entire garden deeply
and thoroughly. If barnyard ma
nure is not available, use a 4-12-4

little less firm, the eye little dim
mer, and the hand little less
steady. Although these changes
came slowly, no one could fail to
see their meaning. Thus after
three score and Is years of an ac
tive. useful life, she sank quietly
and peacefully to rest. She has
passed from labor to reward Now
are the busy hands still, and the
face that has so many times been
marked with suffering and pain, is
serene and peaceful. She leaves a
place in the home that can never be
filled, yet she leaves memories that
will remain with us through life,
and with those memories comes a
thought that this life has not been
in vain. While we sorrow with an
guish of heart, there comes a bright
ray of hope, a hope that dispels all
fear, all doubt and all anNiety-a
hope in that resurrection that has
been proclaimed by the Lord OF
Glory.

port on file in the sheriff's office
today. -.
The men were described by Mrs.
Osborne when she telephoned the
sheriffs office to tell of the sup

short and heavy, while the other is
slender. This description fits the
r1en who have lately haunted the
Ell Centro stage depot, to the loss of
passengers who agree to match
coins.
Late in the afternoon, said Mrs.
Osborne. the two men came to her
service station just north of the
cemetery. They departed. leaving
a punch board. Later one of men
returned. He told Mrs. Osborne
that the board was probably no
good. and started to play it. For
while he lost. Then, playing a
20 TO one shot. he won, and there
after won consistently.
After he had gone Mrs. Osborne
called the sheriff's office to ex-
press the opinion that the men
