Now let your Uncle Satiricus tell
you how to kill dandelions. III the
wise philanthropic doctor had when
in Greeley strolled out in the neigh
borhood of Elysian fields. corner OF
Gee Whiz and Hike, he could have
seen one OF the largest lawns In town
that Is, and always has been. free
from dandelions; not absolutely clear
of them but comparatively so, and 1
venture the assertion more nearly
destitute of them than the majority
of lawns in his cute little village in
Kansas. My method Is a simple
one, and the only practicable and
effective one known to me of many
tried, including the gasoline route
of destruction. 1t is done with a
crook of the elbow and sharp knife.
1t Is a painstaking method but after
once clearing lawn, II persistently
practiced, takes but little time to
keep the pests down. Don't plow
up and reseed lawn, If no other
reasons impel you except to get rid
of the dandelions. Halt the labor
required to plow up, harrow, regrade,
.resow and keep constantly moist, the
new planting, until 1t becomes es-
tablished, will, If applied to killing
out the dandelions, fully accomplish
the desired result; and moreover,
when you have destroyed an old lawn
and succeeded in getting a good stand
with much difficulty, for new one,
10 the young dandelions come up by
the million and are still with you.
Eternal vigilance is said to be the
price Of liberty. 1t Is also the price
Of almost everything worth having
in this world, from good govern.
ment down to little green grass in
front of our doors. 1t might be
affirmed also that one result of eter-
nal vigilance In any field is species
of petty slavery. But then who is

The Dandelion and the Doctor

tion of my ancient friend Marcus
Aurelius Antoninus. He said,
"Think continually how many phy-
sicians are now dead after wisely

Of one once offered me on the run by
an anxious friend when I mad sick

Il think it did," sad he. l didn't
give my horse Glauber salts and he
survived.
With great precision this dande-
lion doctor directs us how to use his
remedy. while the weed is in
blossom says he. But it is always
in blossom; begins with the first
breath of real spring and continues
all summer, and not two in hum
dred are in blossom at the same
time. Take an oil cam says he,
and into the heart of each plant, as
near the root as possible, insert
about tablespoonful of the gaso-
line Into the heart,' mind you,
and make no mistake about it. But
our doctor seems to be lacking in a
knowledge of proportions. Just
think of a tablespoonful of gasoline

other locality where they thrive

carefully applied would be fairly

If you can't see it you will find on
making the trial that you can cut
out effectively three dandelions with
a knife where you could apply the

I'll bet my last years Panama hat

method whatever. l doubt If the

ing wages Ii, advance from an employer
shall be taken as prlma facie evidence
OF theft.
On trial. Judge Thomas OF tho Mont

the amendment to the law passed in

1t presumed the guilt Of the defendant
by saying that the failure to perform is

cided that the amendment and the whole
