"Intimidation? charges are also made against the state police engaged on the case. The court granted the state two day in which to file counter affida vits.

BEAUTY SHOP Wednesday, June 19th . Specializing in Ringlette and New Type Natural Permanents Lura Lynch, Owner Vera Mershon, Manager Harriet Woodhouse, Operator Ida Graves, Operator Hazel Cassady, Operator Ray LeFevre and Basil Porter, Barbers J CLAIMS SGHEFFEL If you have neglected planting the eart spring lawn that you hare been talking about all winter and spring, but somehow couldn't find time to start, don't think that It la now too late. Not at all, according to Fred Scheffel, who besides being the city superintendent somehow finds time to be an amateur lawn planter of re pute. One of the best times of year to plant a lawn is right now. Scheffel declares. And later in the summer, when the weather get really hot. the grass will grow even better and faster. but then the Job of keeping the soil constantly wet Is a more serious one. "In this remarkable climate," said Mr. Scheffel, "a new lawn can be planted at any time during the sum mer, the hotter the better. Keep the ground wet at all times, with a good sprinkling In the morning, and an other in the evening. Don't by any chance allow the ground to dry out. I two weeks time your new lawn will be the envy of your neighbors, and in six weeks you'll have grass so long and so green and so luscious that It will be all you can do to cut It with a lawn-mower." Of course a lawn requires constant attention If It Is to be a success. In planting a new lawn, the ground should be thoroughly cultivated to a depth of at least six Inches, and all of the weeds removed. A raking to remove the larger rocks always helps, and then the whole thing should be rolled smooth. A home made roller can be made of a piece of log, or by pouring cement Into a piece of metal pipe through which handles have been placed. The seed should be on the ground before the rolling process. The rolling will push them far enough under the surface so that they will sprout easily and will keep most of them away from the birds. Mr. Scheffel recommends the mixed variety of seed, in which five or six different kinds of grasses are con tained.
