To Kill Potato Bugs.

Formost of all the plaques the farmers have to contend with is the potato bug. They have already done much damage, and they will do greater injury to the potato crop. A farmer who has had a great deal of experience with bugs of all kinds, and in particular with potato bugs says that one effective method of protecting potato vines is by means of kerosene oil and soapsnds. He said that it is fntile'to try to kill of all the bugs but if small quantity of kerosene is poured into basin of soapsuds and applied to the vines the potato bug will be forced to other fields for means of sustenance. He says the bugs will not go near the vines covered with this preparation. The same preventive also works well in regard to cabbage. The long green worm that spoils so many heads of cabbage will not eat a plant covered with soapsuds and kerosene.

SHARON CHURCH GIFTS
DR. GouLD'S GENEROUS REQUESTS

He Was an Ardent Admirer and Friend
 of the Village and Did Handsomely
 by Its Four Churches Each Re-
 ceives SI I,5oo.
 many years ago, formed an attachment for the village of Sharon, remembered four of its public institutions most gem erously in his will. To the four churches of the village he bequeathed a total of SC, 900, or Sl ,50O each to the Congrega- tional, Methodist, Episcopal, and Roman Catholic. He also willed Sl 300 to the Gould Memorial School in Rome, Italy. These bequests arc, of course, gratefully received by these religious bodies, and will be put to good and advantageous use. The sums will either be put on in terest or used to wipe out indebtedness, or for needed repairs to church edifice or parsonage. The checks have been received by the treasurers of the above named churches. Mir. Mynderse, who is the lessee of the Governor Smith mansion here, is the executor of Dr. Gould's estate.
 Would that there were more men like Dr. Gould, who, when distributing their wealth would remember the country or village churches, the funds of which are rarely too plentiful, and who put the money to a use that results in the gen eral welfare and spiritual uplitt of the community.
