Arthur Graves, charged with House
breaking, arrested and in Jail.
Friday night Arthur Graven col
ored,, about 35 years of age, was ar
rested ip Burlington by Deputy
, Sheriff C. D. Btory„ and brought
Jail. He bears the reputation of
being a bad negrq, and a number
store breakings are charged up to
him. The first of last week the
store of Mr. Claude R. McCauley,
near Watson,, postoffice was broken
into. The small safe was taken
out and broken open with an axe
and maul, and about SBO in cash,
two watches and some jewelry were
taken. Only a few articles were
taken from Ithe store. A silver
watch was taken from Graves
which has been identified by Mc-
Cauley. Graves also had on his per
son a S3O gold piece—s6s in gold
was taken from McCauley's safe
and sls in paper money was found
on Graves. A gold watch has not
been recovered nor the Jewelry.

The Use of Lime.
It is now the time to give atten
tion to the lawn if a goo i healthy,,
thick and even growtn is desired
during the coming summer, if you
spread manure on the lawn last lall
and it has been allowed to stay ou
the ground all winter, rake off the
coarse material as soon as the grass
begins to grow. The lawn should
then be roiled thorougnly with a
heavy roller, and about a week'
thereafter apply broadcast from 60U
to 1,000 pounds of hydrated or oth
er well-slacked lime per «cre. x at*
lime will soon get in its work by
neutralizing the acids and stimu
lating to acive work the different
plant foods in the soil. The same
practice can be applied to lawns
treated with stable manure in (he
early Spring or Winter,, but care
should be exercised not to apply
the lime sooner that a week or
ten days alter raking off the stable
manure else you will lose some of
the valuable ammonia which you
have stored up by manuring. It is
to be understood tha.t soar soils
wil lnot grow a good lawi\. and
many" laws become sour through
excessive fertilizing and bad drain
age.
It is interesting to
connection* with the above advice,,
on the maintenance of a good
lawn, that the liming of the lawns
of the Agricultural.Department at
Washington is being done at the
present time. Visitors to Wash
ington will probably recall what
beautiful grass is grown each year
in front and to each side of the
main buildings of the Agricultural
Department. Good results can be
obtained in lawn .cultivation by
giving a little time each Spring
In the proper care of yffur graft*
plots,, and it's well worth the out
lay of time and money expended
for the pleasure that follows in
having a "pretty front yard."—
Karl Lugenbeck, Lime Service Bu
reau. Washington, D. C .
APPLICATION OF HYDRATE.
During the Bpring liming period
the question usually arises, is Hy
drated Lime injurious to the seed
if applied directly with it. In the
process of commercial hydration
the lime becomes thoroughly slack
ed, loosing practically all its caus
tic condition, but even after .being
thoroughly hydrated, it consists of
a strong alkali of strength suffi
cient do do the work of soil sweet
ening and its other functions ol
soil improvement. The best meth
od of lime application, in order to
all possibility of injury to seed is
to put the lime in smaH heaps
across the field, and after allow
ing it to stand until thoroghly car
bonated, then spread it upon the
firld. So much for the hand meth
od of spreading lime. Another
plan, where hydrated or quick lime
can be used directly is to apply It
with a lime spreadei soma time
certainly several days before seed
ing, and in this case, it is very
much better to harrow or disc it
into the surface soil and allow it
to stand at lent a week before
seeding. There is, of course, far
more moisture and far more carbon
dioxide in the soil atmosphere than
in the atmosphere above the soil
and the carbonalion of the lime
takes place very much more rap
idly and a very much better dis
tribution is obtained by this meth
od of lime Application than any
other.—Karl Langenbeck, Lim 1

NATURE DEUGMTS IN CURVES
Guilders of Human Habitations Do
Well to Avo.ld Too - Many
Straight Lines.
Nature makes no straight lines, for
■whether It bo the canopy above, the
horizon about us, the shore of ocean
or pond, the course of stream*, the
lines of horse, bird, or even of the
human figure, beautiful curves and
variety and multiplicity of curves ,
everywhere abound. Without guld- '
ance such as c taut cord, a straight
edge, or ruler, man cannot make a !
straight line. Even with the assist
ance of a crack or continuous Joint \
In a sidewalk the homeward-bound In
the "wee sma' hours anent the twal"
cannot maintain their physical dig
nity and equilibrium, however assidu
ously their feet woo "the straight
and narraw path of rectitude." It
must tl.en be apparent that nature
never Intended man to make straight j
lines, aind the present writer loves
thom not, even In a dwelling-house.
The clay cottage with thatched roof
Is the very acme of beauty In shel
ters for mankind, and often the sim
ple, old-faehloned garden round about
holds more of natural charm than the
most favored part of the grandest es
tate. _
Those who have tramped over fresh
ly-fallen snow, though Intent upon go
ing In a straight Rire from one specific
point to another, looking back upon
their course, may easily descry what
beautiful and smoothly-flowing curves
they have traced upon earth's win
try shroud. Even the paths of do
mestic animals through their pastures
are of most artistic and gentle de- j
parture from the monotonous straight
line. Still, we would not advise fol
lowing these In the economic disposi
tion of traffic, as did the Hostonlnns
1 with Sam FOBS' calf trail. Likewise,
we should avoid vlolatldn of the dic
tates of common sense by trying to
Institute curves In a front walk from
I street to door when tho distance Is
I but a few paces. Curves must not be
made to appear ridiculous. Sometimes
restricted soope precludes their use
and straight lines must prevail. Still,
the straight line Is not, as Ruskln Is
reputed to have said, "the line of
beauty."

SAVING NEW YORK'S TREES
Planting Association of the Great
Metropolis Finds Itself Facing
a Hard Problem.
Manhattan presents a hard problem
for those who want to beautify the
metropolis with shade trees. It seems
that certain streets are not altogether
hopeless, according to the report of
the Tree Planting association of New
York, Just out.
Buch are Seventh avenue and Lenox
from One Hundred and Tenth street
up; Broadway north from Fifty-ninth
street, also West End avenue, West
One Hundred and Thirty-eighth, West
Seventy-ninth street,' k etc.
On all of these there are plantations
at present. In spite of the fact that
some people have the Idea that New
York has few shade trees there are
dozens of varieties'of all shades and
styles and patterns, from aristocratic
shade tieas to Bcraggy slum dwarfs.
Tree doctors and surgeons are very
necessary, and tree surgery has be
come quite a definite science. Many a
fine old tree lr saved by "filling Its
tooth," as It were —that Is, filling Its
hollow cavity with cement to prevent
further decay.
> The committee of the association
has divided up New York Into dis
tricts for special examination, and the
report' on the different geographical
locations Is exhaustive.
City-Planning Asaoclstlon.
For a number of years the city of
New York has contemplated the crea
tion of a city-planning commission for
regulating the various civic Improve
ment undertakings of the municipal
ity, as well as those of private Individ
uals. Tho work which would come
under the supervision of such a city
planning commission would include,
among other things, housing! indus
trial structures, the conveyance* of
supplies and materials of manufacture
and manufactured products, the dis
posal of waste material, the arrange
'ment of the various sections of the
city In accessible manner, rapid and
convenient means of transportation,
the provision of facilities for educa
tion and public recreation.
These are the fundamental objects
of city planning, but many other city
activities would come under tho super
vision of the clty-plannlng commis
sion, such as regulating the height of
buildings, dividing the city Into dis
tricts and zones, traffic regulations,
etc.
Good Judgment Needed.
Good Judgment—not a matter of
opinion, but a matter of principle,
training and experience—ls necessary
to the selection of a proper location
for a civic center In order to avoid
the criticism and condemnation of fu
ture generations to which we lay our
sclvcs open If we do naf exercise
proper Judgment at the crucial mo
ment. ,

Combination of Property Owner*.
A general maintenance tax of two
mill* per square foot, which amounts
to |4 per yaar on a lot 20 by 100 feet,
besides the-regular city tax, must bo
paid by lot owners In a section of
Philadelphia. This special assessment
is for the upkeep of the property, and
Is applied towards the coat of gar
bage collection, snow cleaning, light
ing. maintaining" the park and sew
erage system, replanting tree* and
shrubbery, cleaning vacant lots, and
repairing streeta and sidewalks. The
fund Is administered by a company
and assures the lot owner that all
repairs In streets and sidewalka will
be promptly made when needed, and
will not be subject to the idiosyn
crasies of private ownership or the
■low method* of municl?*! depart
ment*.
Paint Your Realdene*.
If your residence need* painting or
repairing BOW is the time to bare the
work done. In the first place you will
get the labor much cheaper and In the
next place you will aid those who need
work, If Hla true that we are border
Ing on prosperous times It will not be
many month* until labor will cost
much more than now, so there la a
double aavlng— the bou*e wfll be saved
injury ar.d the owner dollar*. It will
pay you to look Into this matter.—Abl
