LAWN T.1OVER TRUST
PREVENTED BY LONTZ WHEN WAR STARTED Richmond Manufacturer Re- ' fuses to Boost Prices Because Strife and Tariff Kill Competition. ; How John M. Lontz, owner of the F. & N. Lawn Mower factory, prevented the organization of a lawn mower trust in the United States was told by Mr. Lontz last night.' "After It . was Been that the war would put the foreign lawn mower
manufacturers out of business and
give the manufacturers in this coun
try control of the industry, the organizer of the shovel trust called all lawn
mower manufacturers together In New
lork," Mr. Lontz said. . "This man has offices in Cuba or some other foreign place I have forgotten where to avoid. the operations
of the Sherman anti-trust law. when he appeared before the lown mower
men he suggested that the manufac
turers combine and raise prices at the rate of 25 to 75 cents. " 'Then the Canadian manufacturers
will get busy,' I told him.
"'Never fear. I have figured it out to a fine point that we are just under
the point where they can send us lawn mowers and sell them at a profit, he replied. ' .- "I told him' I would. never consent to such a damnable piece of business. It was an attempt to rob the people of the United States because the war prevented the importation of lawn mowers from . Europe, and the tariff prevented Canadian . manufacturers from competing. v

Residents of West Richmond Exhibit Blistered Hands With Pride as They Discuss Gardens. Led by Mayor Robblns and Principal N. C. Heironimus of Garfield school, residents of West Richmond claim to
be the champion gardeners of the city. : There Is scarcely a backyard in that section of the city that does not have its well-ordered kitchen garden, and residents proudly compare blisters on their hands as they journey to and fro' across .the river. .Great rivalry exists as to who shall boast the first mess of lettuce, raddishes or onions. Mayor Robblns gardens for recreation and profit, and already has planted a large lot in onions and peas. With the returns from his garden he hopes to be able to take a slap at old man II. C. L. " : ' .:, . " y , ,' Heironimus Plunges, Prof. Heironimus probably Is the most rabid of the west side gardeners, and does not stop at half-way meas
ures, but tries to raise a little bit of everything in his large lot adjoining
his home. So successful has he been
that he boasts of having raised three
crops a year on the same ground. In
terspersed with peas and onions in
his garden are large beds of flowers, which form a mass of color that is
frequently remarked by those who
along the- National road. Prof. Heironimus believes in developing commercial instincts in his children and has interested them in garden work, so that each year they sell quite a little flower seed, which they have raised and gathered themselves. Two other well-known residents also deserve favorable mention as successful gardeners and are claimed by the west side. City Controller McMahan goes In for corn and beans on his vacant lots, and with the aid of his son, Russell, raises each year a good supply of the elements of succotash, of which he is very fond. The other is Al Brown, elevator man in the court house. Mr. Brown owns several lots which he plants, in potatoes each year, and harvests a large crop of his national vegetable.

That war will end before December 1, 1915, 10 to 1 on. .7 - That war will and before March 1, 1916, 15 to 1 on. That Germany will take Warsaw, 5 to 1 against. Explanation of "on" and "against" terms as used by English bettors: "3 to 1 against," war ending May 1. You get S3 for $1 If you think the war will end so soon and are willing to back your Judgment "Ten to one on," tho war. ending before December 1. You would have to risk $10 on the chance of winning $1; the bookmakers are so confident the fighting will be over by next winter. v ' - It Is evident that the English figure this way: The combatants are still so strong and evenly matched that there la little chance of peace during the coming summer. It is, they think, about an even chance that they will be tired of fighting and ready to shake hands by September, and, so . be-to."t Terybody will be so done up that there is almost no probability of fighting after the beginning of next winter.

A pure food commission and a board of weights and measures couldn't improve on STAR'S unvarying standard of honest weight, quality and absolute cleanliness of preparation.
