A Spray Calendar.

A large part of the yearly fruit
crop is destroyed by bugs or fungus
diseases. The apple worm or cooling
moth Injuries the fruit, and others feed
on the foliage Of the various plants
thus preventing the plant from pro.
perly carrying on its work.
In the growing of many crops, the
growers skill is more exercised in the
combating Of these enemies than in
the cultivation of the crop. To aid
the farmer and fruit grower in this
work, the Iowa Experiment Station
has just issued Spray Calendar
which tell just what to use for these
troubles, how to prepare it and when
to apply. These directions are simple
yet effective, and any grower can fol

that this spray calendar may be OBJ

are interested, to write the Director

Interesting Things to Know.

With an electric stove you can, for
one cent, heat one pint of cold water,
and keep it boiling indefinitely, as
many hours as desired, for one quarter
of AGENT per hour.
In the electric chafing-dish, starting
with everything cold. it is ready to
cook an oyster-stew in five minutes,
which means, at the utmost, cost OF
a quarter of cent In three more
minutes the oyster-stew is cooked,
all for less than half cent. Is that
cheaper than alcohol?
Hot waff1es are fine, particularly fol-
breakfast. With an electric waffle iron
in the breakfast-room the waffie-iron
is ready for the waffles in four minutes
That means that it costs about fifth
of cent to get ready. 1t then costs
up to seven cents to cook waffles. With
an electric waffle-iron'the heat at the
top and the bottom is identical. 1t is
always uniform. 1t takes one-third
the Time electrically.
An Astronomical. five O'Clock, -
started with one quart, it takes just
exactly fifteen minutes. The entire
operation costs less than two cents.
A turn-down.lamp, one-candle power
used constantly in the bathroom, is
more economical than full light only
a third of the time.
Baby's milk can be heated in three
minutes exactly every night all the
year round at a cost of about a cent,
which beats trip to the kitchen.
There are over hundred thousand
electric curling iron heaters in use.
How many upset oil lamps does it
prevent? How many burnt fingers
saved? Doesn't smoke the curling
iron or blacken the hair, either.
The DEBORAH Electric Light Co. =,
can furnish you with any of these safe
and convenient appliances.

Twenty.Ninth Annual Easter Sale.

Mr.. Bear occupies the entire fourth
page this week in announcing his
twenty ninth annual Easter Sale.
1t is worthy of careful perusal, for
the adv. is an eve opener for shrewd
buyers Never before in the history
of Winnesheik county has there been
such an array of gentlemen's clothing
and furnishings gathered under one
roof, and at prices that are a surprise
to all honest inspectors who know
values when they see them. Tie
modern methods of manufacture of
clothing, coupled with Mr.. Bears per-
sonal knowledge and supervision of
the selection of cloths, Innings and
styles of tailoring, make a combina-
tion which is hard to beat in America
when it comes to buying clothing, and
what he buys right in New York, his
customers get right at home. This has
made his immense establishment the
synonym for square dealing, honest
goods at honest prices, and these lower
than anywhere else. This is not hot
air. Years of comparison, of expert
ence and of hard work have established
a reputation and business which al
most any other man would like to have.
Mr.. Bear has way of his own, and
that way wins. 1t is the way that
all great businesses are built up. 1t
is not long story. 1t is simply to
bay right, sell right. advertise to beat
the band, and be always honest, never
making a statement that can't be
backed up, and never having GUS
toner dissatisfied. 1t has never yet
failed to succeed, and never will.

Gentleman of the jury, charging

the evidence, as well as myself. You
have heard what the learned counsel
have said. If you believe what the

your verdict would be for the plaintiff,
but if, on the other hand, you believe
what the defendants counsel has told
you, then you will find a verdict for
the defendant ; but if you are like me,

A Fine Piece of Mechanism.

Mark d. Wells has just installed in
his store one of the finest cash registers
we have ever seen, in fact there is
nothing better on the market. 1t is
a new 1905 National, and has all the
latest devices for the keeping of cash
accounts. etc. 1t cost $500, and is re-
cognized as a good investment at that
figure. There is cash drawer for
each clerk, a device which prints a
check with date, amount. etc. to be
used for rebate check, and every
other advantage known to cash regis
tiers. 1t will prove great convenience
