The lawn 'should be looking at its best now, while keeping k in perfect condition through the sominer need. only .he a matter;;of light rolling, reg- ular mowing and the nloderateu se os fertilisers or composts suited to the particular soil. When, however. the. surface appears .parched, watering should •be done in the cool of the even- ing. Drench the turf thoroughly, as one good soaking takes less water, and is better for the grass than a mere daily sprinkle. =In cases where the lawn gets sparse or patehy,•the cause must be discovered. There may 'be stagnancy and sourness' at the roots, together with lack of ,plant food due td the constant removal of the fresh Inow- ings. Here a vast improvement aan'be effected by the use of a . spring -wire rake which will comb out moss and dead stuff, .when the grass .can be re- juventatted and the soil sweetened' by small regular dressings of equal 'parts powdered Chalk, pulverised peat, and rubbed leaf -mould. Should it be a heavy soil, add also one pant of clean sand. Where a fawn is in frequent use for putting or croquet, it is a common ex- perience for the turf to get hide- bound,and if this is not dealt: with speedily, there +will be nothing left except the tougher perennial weeds. The best cure for hide -bound turf is a patent spiked roller, bit for small spaces the same -result can be obtain- ed 'by stabbing the ground with a short -pronged =fork so as to spring the turf and admit air and moisture be- low. Tt e-low.'Lt should not be mown too close- ly .afterwards, nor rolled, until the grass has come into dense, • vigorous growth again. Warms are an unmitigated nuisance. on .clayey soil and especially in new gardens, to which [they attract moles. also. The best cure for both is a solu- tion of half an ounce of dapper .sul- phate to each gallon of water, sprinkl- ed on with a rose -can and then wat- ered down freely with the hose. During July the , daddy -long -legs flies will be hatching out in numbers and the females will be laying .eggs from which the injurious leather -jack- et is produced. It is easy til dispose of this lawn pest in its youth, by using a light dressing' of powdered naph- thalene. THE FARMERS AT OTTAWA. The Durham Chronicle says: "Prime Minister 'Bennett received the committee of the United Farmers of Ontario at 'Ottawa on Saturday last, but wap unable to attend the ga- thering- of 2,006 agriculturists who had assembled and the fat is in the fire.

Moattse 3.00 post paad .same- M street cels or two could not atteod she meeting, A re- view of the events showed that Mr. Bennett did exactly what was agred upon between himself and Mr. Mor- rison, -secretary of the USF.O. organi- zation. 't e have learned since the meeting last Saturday that there are a good .many members of the farmers' organization in and: around Dnrham who are not lit sympathy with their leaders in the Ottawa occurrence. A5 one of them said to the Chronicle the farmers are more interested in the success of the conference than ,in the size of the delegation that trent to Ottawa, and expressed the opinion that had the leaders adhered to the original program of a small delegation or committee, as much .or more good. would have come out of it. To those who know Mr. Bennett the accusation that he was discourteous will not bear much weight. Mr. Bennett is a moat courteous man, received the commit- tee with every courtesy., and swift .place the representations ,of the farmers be- fore the conference. This is allhe could do, and so far key any considera- tion of these representations before the conference is concerned, his at ten,dance' or non-attendance, at any mass meeting would have no effect whatever. Instead of accusing Mr. Bennett of discourtesy, we think it would be neater the point to admit that he did everyWthing he promised to. do in his letter to Mr. :Morrison a month ago, and everything he could reasonably be expected to do. 'Admit- ting he had the inclination to attend the mass meeting, we dowbt very much if he had the time, as no doubt other committees and other . business were awaiting his attention. Tlhe Un- ited Farmers can rest assured di one thing. Their representations as pre- sented to the Prime Minister last Saturday will be placed before the conference, together with any others which may be 'made. Government ministers at Ottawa are busy men these days, and it is hardly fair to in- sinuate they are discourteous when the fact is they have many things. to look aftbr and only a Limited time at their disposal for any one, question. FRENCH ASSASSFN TO DIE ' UNDER GUILLOTINE A ,faint. cynical smile twisted the lips of Paul Gorgouloff when heard himself sentenced to have his head chopped off 'for the assastsination of President Paul Doumer of France. "Kill "me," he exclaimed, gripping the 'sigh railing of the box with : white, clenched hands, "but kill me as a good soldier—with a gun; not on the guillotine!" The 'Russian political fan- atic, striving. to maintain the reckless courage which had led hint to high schemes o'f war and rebellion, turned appealingly to the judge, impassive in the ermine robes of his office. The judge slowly pronounced sentence Giergouloff's head will roll into the basket. "You have the right to kill me," he said in a high, strained voice. "But I fought to save France in the war ,and I fight now to save the Rus- sian ussian peasants." IGorgosloff permitted' himself to be hurried array to prison. There, while dawn is breaking come day next month, he will be given a cigarette and a glass of rum. Then he wilt be led 'outside theprison walls foratthe last time and traverse the few steps to the historic guillotine on which France for 'centuries has exact- ed' the extreme ,penalty front murder- ers, .political criminals and one luck- less monarch. WHY THERE TS A SHAKE- SPEA'RE PROBLEM. Some ttuye ago, the critic, sALr. William Archer, wrote: "Pf some en- chanter should offer to recover fpr me a single hour of the irrecoverable past, I think I Should choose to be placed among the audience at the Globe Theatre, in or 'about .the year 11600, with liberty to run round be- tween acts e-tween.acts and interview the author - actor -manager, 'Master Shakespeare, in his tiring room. (There is nothing more diflficut than to form a vivid and satisfactory picture of the material conditions under which Shakespeare worked; and there is nothing more fascinating than to attempt to do so." 113unt these, words ascribed to Wil- lia'm ,Archer :might, just as easily have been attributed to scores of others, for his splendid 'enthusiasnt' and extrava- gant wishing 'have had their counter- parts in all quarters of the globe and among aid shades of ,thinking. With all men the name. Shakespeare is otee that arrests attention, with most men one that recalls school -day ventures into ,the gallery of the world's im- mortals. How clearly do iwe see 'Ham- let, Othello, Rosalind, or Lady Mac- ibeth; how dimly do we see the man svho called ,th:em into being. However brightly the spotlight focused upon the plays, the man `him- self remained in shadow. For some- thing near 100 years the -world''''w.as content to let him do so, accepting sdholl;y his judgment in the dictum, "The play's the thing," and little won- dering or caring who or what Shake- speare himself might be. Sy 1709 then, when Nicholas Rowe prefaced an edition of the plays with "Some Account of the Life of William Shale'speare," beyand a few meager facts there was only "accumulated hearsay upon which to .build, and that had become so -monumental that the man seemed inextricably buried be- neatlt it. 'IfoSt of what 'Rowe set down is today adjudged' tradition; but from his day to this, the majority of writ- ers on the subject have followed his piethod until the judgment of other- wise' impartial investigators has he'- come e-come so biased by this reiteration that the casual reader into the matter is left wholly at sea. A centiery'tater grave doubts began to arise as a new set of investigators. attempted Id reshuffle fact and fiction and conjure up 'Shakespeare. .Some- how, to these researchers, the Strat- ford fellow, true rustic as he was, with the barest posslbility of seven years' schooling and the greater likelihood of none at all—for pc records could be found of his 'having ever been to school—seemed to use the classics, too 'familiarly and to evince too close art acquaintance with the courts of 'lase as well as those of manner to be genuine. There was but one 'thing to do, since the facts, 'theplays and the Stratford man would not mix; this these new enthusiasts did. On the basis of acceptable fact and the ne- cessary, learning to have written the plays, ,the projected as author and then set out to find hin. Searching in the highways and byways of poesy and learning in the England, of Good Queen Bess, they brought forth many, and perhaps more likely, Shake- speare, A century later —thin, our own — there is a plethora of Shakespeares, or at least would-be ones. Each claim- ant has been sworn in, docketed and scheduled for cross-examination. A comp'tete catalogue of the cases ar- raigned, tried and disposed of is, of course, out of the question asheneach day may bring to light evidence to upset the balances and outweigh ev- erything. Of attorneys, too, ;thereare many, and their reasons for appearing at this bar are diverse; but those best known and mostpersistent represent mainly four classics' of clients: the Stratfordians, the Baconians, the Ox fordians, and those holding the group theory of authorship. If a word is necessary to refresh thought as to the tenets of these different "schools," it might suffice to say that the Strat- fordian's are defenders of the Strat- ford man, believing confidently that his claim is authenticated both by tra- dition and fact. Then come the Baconians, those who point to Sir Francis Bacon, the busiest, wittiest and most 'intellectual man of the times as the only one cap- able 'of infusing into the drama the poetry, the ethics and the 'lore, of classic times. After the Baconians, or rather before it one ;insists upon a chronological order, come those who feel that the plays are too much for one man and are result of a group effort. And lastly there are those who have found in Edward de Vere, Sev- enteenth 'Earl of Oxford, the perfect 'poet, who, 'under the cover of depict - jai the 'historic past,- drew portraits of his contemporaries. Even the scholar -attorneys who are conductingthese cases have became so quaintly tinged with the bias of their different clients that they may be very adequately represented thus: Sir Stratfordian, ultra conservative, eager to maintain the status quo and somewhat opinionated; Mr. Baconian, a versatile legist with untold zeal, even .to the quit -Wales al the matter; A. Group, rather impartial and non- committal, valuable more for his abil- ity in gathering and sifting evidence than for his pleading of cases; and Youngman Oxfotclian, a practitioner at the bar only since the. late' war, con - Services We Gan Render In the rime of need PROTECTION is your best •friend.

IF one has a wide acquaint- ance with the classics, is something of a critic of manners, literature and art, know, intimately the British makeup and has studied bile evolution of the British .character, so much the better. But above all one must avoid super- ciliousness; that is fatal to anything. In 'his "Advancement of Learning;' Sir Fraacis 'Bacon wrote something of value to those who approach this study: "Another error is an impatience of doubt and .haste to assertion without due and mature suspension of . judg- ment. For the two ways of contem- plation are not'un'like the two ways of action :commonly spoken of by the an • - cients the one plain and smooth in the beginning, and in the end im- passable; the other rough and trouble- some roublesome in the entrance, but after a while fair and even. So it is in contempla- tion; if a man Swill begin worth cer- tainties, he shalt end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with :doubts, ;he shall end in certainties." The world seemsas eager as ever to know more about the man Shake- speare. With Archer, present-day en- thusiasts 'would run round to the tir- ing iring room to see Master Shakespeare— but would they find him even then? William Shakespeare, -Francis Bacon 'Walter Raleigh, Queen 'Elizabeth, Ed- ward de Vere, the Earl of Rutland, the Earl of Derby -which is he? • To say would be difficult until the evidence—overwvhefming, faulty, mit -. 'leading, ambiguous, 'contradictory and genuine—is finally and fairly, sifted. IBut the remoteness of the time makes the evaluation of the evidence doubly perplexing, for all testimony must be projected .against -the background of the times, Too often those times are brought too near or removed too far in relation to the subject of inquiry, mud the resultant view is ,marred or out of focus to just that extent. Again,. one has to examine the times through the varying lenses of others' ;judg- ment and so must be under the con- stant necessity of allowing for biased or unintentional aberration. s Rut though "there is nothing more diffi- cult than to form a vivid and satisfac- tory picture of the material conditions under which Shakespeare worked, there is nothing more fascinating than to attempt to do so." • An efficacious household remedy-- Douglas' emedy-Douglas' Egyptian Liniment, Brings immediate relief to lame back and muscular rheumatism.
