Needed improvements.

Probably never before has the need
of sewer been brought to bear SO
impressively upon our business COM
munity as at the present, caused by
the recent deluge of rain. Almost
every cellar along Atlantic avenue is
filed more or less with with water,
which not only makes the cellars I'M
fit for use, but disagreeable and UNI
healthy. To remedy this and make
the cellars dry and serviceable
would be to drain each one. and to
drain them properly sewer would
have to be built about six feet deep
and about 5000 feet in length, which
would cost neat little pile of money.
Mr.. Stewart, one of our enterpris-
ing citizens, seeing and knowing the
damage that is being done to our
business cellars by every heavy fallof
rain, and not wishing to burden the
taxpayers with any more bonded in
debtedness, took it upon himself to
figure out the cost per front foot of
building such sewer and then ap-
pointed himself as committee of
one to see each owner along Atlantic
avenue and get donation of the re-
quired amount. % 1t is needless to say
that with each mans cellar half full
of water) his plan was readily grasped
at and accepted by every property
owner on the avenue, for such was
the case. A few more business men
yet remain to be seen, and as soon as
they agree to the plan force of men
will be put to work and the much
needed improvement pushed with all
possible speed. This will undoubt-
eddy be one of the most beneficial
improvements, especially to the bust
ness portion, that could have been
concocted, thanks to Mr.. Stewart
And the beauty of it is, that when the
sewer is built it will be paid for and
you won't be burdened with any extra
taxation for number of years.

AS a remedy for plant lice State
Entomologist recommends kerosene
emulsion as undoubtedly the best
remedy. The standard formula is:
Kerosene, two gallons; common soap
or whale oil soap, one-half pound;
water, one gallon. Dissolve the soap
by boiling in the water, and after re-
moving from the fire add the kerosene
and churn the mixture by means of a
force pump while still hot. Direct
the stream from the nozzle back into
the mixture for five or ten minutes.
The mixture when perfectly emulsi-
fed, acts like thin cream, and should
adhere evenly to the side of the yes
sci without oiliness. It is creamy in
consistency and becomes thick on
cooling. To use this emulsion mix
one part of it with nine or ten parts
of water, and applying with spray
ing pump. Red Wing Republican.

Everything Wet.

Early Saturday morning, some time
near the break of day, commenced
one of the heaviest transforms seen in
this section for many years. An un-
usual amount of dampness fell almost
continuous for twenty hours. From
the time it commenced until it stopped
there was not time of five minutes
duration but what it rained, and
rained hard. 1t was no gentle spring
shower, but regular June rainstorm.
Turn your eyes in any direction and
great pools Of water can be seen.
Lake bottoms that have been dry for
these many years are covered with
water, and low places that heretofore
have produced abundant crops, this
year are entirely submerged. Al
though we have more rain so far this
year than on any subsequent year for
some time past, we have heard of no
damage to crops, exceptin low places,
such as lake bottoms. Grain is look
ing fine and crop prospects are as
good in this section as could be ex-
pected, and, unless the wet weather
is kept up for any length of time, the
farmers will harvest an excellent crop
this year. The storm has been pretty
general throughout the state, being
heayiestin the central, southern and
southeastern parts. Some damage
by washoutsr is reported from the
southern part; also some damage to
crops.
