A Little Lesson In Lawn Mowing.
Grass should never la* cut shorter
than two Inches on either new or old
lawns, for Its roots are left unprotect
, ed from the scorching sun when It is
shorter, and this means that dry or
very hot weather will hum it sear and
brown. Mow often, even as often as
every fourth or fifth day, if necessary
to keep It at this height, especially on
n new lawn, and never rake away the
clippings. They form the best possible
mulch and fertilizer and are so short
! when mowing Is done as often and as
i regularly as it should be that they sift
• down among the standing grass ini
mediately and are lost to sight Be
seed all bare spots every spring and
take out weeds as fast as they appear,
peppering the space which is tints left
bare with seed, whatever the season.
This is the sort of care and watchful
ness that achieve perfection with the
minimum of labor, promptness being
Its chief feature. From “Suburban
Gardens.*' by <5race Tabor.
Stars and Stripes In the Flag.
The dag of thirteen stars and thir
teen stripes was adopted by congress
on .1 tine 14. 1777. The stars were at
first arranged in a circle, but a few
years later were placet! in rows. Alter
the admission of Vermont and Ken
tucky to the Fnioti the number of
stars and stripes was increased to fif
teen each on May 1. 17P5 the law to
that effect being signed by President
Washington Jan. 13. 1704. The ting re
mained in that form through our wars
with France, with Tripoli and with
England, on tin* first voyage of an
American warship around Cape Horn
and the Cape of Good Hope and in the
writing of Key’s “Star Spangled Ban
ner.” On April 4. ISIS. President Mon
roe signed tin* present fiag law, and
on July 4. 1818. the national ensign
was made to consist as at present, of
thirteen stripes and of a number of
stars equal to the number of states.—

Be the Model for
Your Own Clothes!
Rarely does a man who wears
ready-made clothing look right
in it. It was not made for him,
and no matter how well it may
apparently fit, the fact remains
that when the suit “settles” and
loses its ironed false form, it
will cave in here, bag there and
wrinkle somewhere else.
