To be precise, Mr.. Jolson will do
show, and then going back to New
York, where it is said further i'm
portant duties await him. But the
local boys should be grateful, as 1t
isn't often we get the chief nanny
singer in person. and at the helm Of
one of his better cinema offerings.
We have only one qualm. When
Mr.. Jolson wired us his pleasure at
the suggestion we had made that he
should pay us a visit, We wired back
something about planning to meet
him with a brass band or single
trombone" if he really intended such
thing. Now that he actually is
coming, we haven't either. If some
one knows of a willing band or a
loose trombone, won't they in heavens
name advise us of its Whereabouts?
OTHER events of the new week
which promise well for the local
theaters include Dennis Kings Rich

the Palace; Frank Bucks animal

All the dreams in the world will
not make a beautiful garden, un-
less healthy plants are growing
and blooming in 1t. You read
about velvet lawns, but you can't
get them without first having good
soil with available chemical foods
for the plants to live on.
1t does not matter much whether
the soil is clay, sand or rock;
there must be drainage and there
must be humus to sufficient
depth in the soil to encourage deep
root growth. In most cases. un-
productive soil is due to mechan-
ical defect, rather than a lack Of
plant foods. for most soils contain
chemicals that the plant wants If
it can get hold of them.
Water is q necessity for all
growth, but 1t must appear and
disappear intermittently. Plants
cannot grow without 1t, neither can
they grow in 1t all the time.
Just as many plants die of we:
feet as do those from drought. To
prevent this drain your garden

20 feet apart at depth Of not less
than two feet.
