Mutt and jeff Grass

According to the Country Home
Magazine, plant explorers who
searched the world over for the best
grass to use in resodding the Kan
sas Dust Bowl have finally found
tin Kansas. This new-old grass
is really two grasses, blue grama
and buffalo, the Mutt and Jeff of the
western plains. If the season is dry,
the tall, tough grama rudely shoves
its partner aside and takes over the
field. But when wet weather comes,
the short but subtle buffalo grass
slyly slips in and regains it's hold
These grasses are spread by sow
ing 800 pounds of their hay per
acre with a manure spreader. The
hay is harvested in September.
sown in March, and punched into
the soil with a wheel packer.

OUINTUPLET BREAD WIDELY ACCLAIMED
Local Grocers Report COn= sumers Enthusiastic;
 ReynlOnd Product

In the better grocery stores these days, there appears 8 Certificate of Approval designating them as distri- butors of Dionne Quintuplet Bread
 The Raymond Bakers have just been appointed to bake this new bread and have started to distribute 1t through certain, approved out lets.
 Grocers are proud of this latest addition to the fine foods they sell many others of which are also in- cluded in the Dionne Quintuplets diet. Bread, however, occupies a particularly important place in the grocer's mind, for he realizes that bread is one food eaten by every single family he serves.
 The grocers approved as distribu- tors of Dionne Quintuplet Bread are especially pleased as they know that mothers and housewives will be quick to realize the special bene- fits to be obtained from eating this bread, which is made exactly &C., cording to the specifications out lined for the Quintuplet diet by their guardians.
 Almost every food sold by the gro- cer goes with bread, and our local grocers take pride in selling only the best bread and in keeping it dis played and easily accessible to the food buyers who visit his store Many of them have told us they ex- pect an unusual response to the new Dionne Quintuplet Bread and have already tried 1t are ordering 1t regu- ealredy tried it are ordering 1t regu. larly every day. They have every confidence in its success.

 The marshal suggested that an ordinance be passed requiring that a permit must be obtained from the marshal before lighting brush and bonfires, and that no incinera- tor should be used unless approved by the marshal, with a $25 fine or 10-day jail sentence as penalty for a violation. The suggestion was re- ferred to the corporation counsel.
 Referred to the health board was the marshal's suggestion that a regulation be adopted governing the Waterville street dump, odors from which, he said, constitute nuis- ance, and 8 cause of frequent com- plaint from residents of the neigh borhood. The board referred in the

Letters to editor
TO START THE NURSERY SCHOOL

To the Editor:
More than person intimately associated with
the whole nursery school project feels that certain
points expressed in the recent editorial the sub
ject demand Qualification.
The edi tora1 that unless the school
approximate the ideal, the enterprise should be
abandoned. If the Council finds it impossible to"
participate financially, the opportunity for such
training may be available to all fouyearolds for,
say, tEo dollars, shall derry it to few children
whose nursery school experience would undoubtedly
prove benefit to their playrates-indirectly to
all children?
Naturally should like to have money and facil-
tiles for both three--and four year olds-al1 21o
of then. But, if funds available for tea
chers and equipment for great number, space is
lacking. We who have been studying the possibi1i-
ties and difficulties relative to establishing
nursery school in Greenbelt almost since the begin
ing Of the town itself, hope eventually to
properly equipped, adequately stated pre-schoo1
building where the opportunt ties for child education
would be available to everyone free. But feel
that it is decidedly better and wiser to begin in
small way with the school supported by the few fani
lies able to pay, than not to begin.
Above all, though it may of necessity be tut
tdon supported project to start with, let
Der that it is town institution that want
the nursery school to flourish.

THE POETS CoRNERED

Concerning the matter of quorum,
I gather that you, Mr.. Custer, are for Ten,
And when we can get
At every meeting the number set.
TITS everyone privilege to stay away,
But those who attend should have their say
And not be handicapped by those who
Can't spare one night out Of each month, too.
If you opposed the quorum being forsaken,
Where were you when the vote was taken?
You could have spoken, but you weren't there;
Is then your cri I'll SIN fair?
But, let's not quarrel, even in rhyme;
We can make changes at any time.
For I have fear Of dictator
AS long as you write for the Cooperator.
And, as for democracy, none can end it
With you, Mr.. Custer, here to defend it,
Chaz.
