THE SPRAYER In THE
CEREAL GRAIN FIELD
Eradication of Weeds. Especially
Prof H. L. BoIey

Experiments in spraying to eradl-
cate weeds in cereal grain fields have
been conducted at the North Dakota
experiment station from season to sea-
son since 1896. Preliminary trials in
1896 with many of the worst weeds,
including mustard. showed that the
weeds can be destroyed in grain fields
without injury to the growing grain.
Since that date various experimenters
have recommended either copper
sulphate or iron sulphate solutions to
be used for this purpose. From time
to time we have given instructions in
newspaper articles and in various re-
ports and press bulletins regarding
the possibilities of this work. AS yet,

Once a Year Papers.

Newspaper men ought to have easy
times of it in the polar circle, where
the papers are issued only once a
year. There are three or four of
these. One of them is the Eskimo
Bulletin, edited near Cape Prince of
Wales on Bering Straits. The Eng
fish missionaries there have estab-
lished a school in a village inhabited
by Eskimos, and as only one steamer
lands at the place and that only once
a year, the news it brings from the
outside world is printed on a sheet of
paper with the hektograph. The pa
per is very thick, and it is printed
only on one side. The Bulletin
claims to be the only once a year pa
per printed, but this is an error. At
Gothaab, Greenland, there is anotbes
issued from a small printing ofiUa
which was established in 1862. The
lame of this sheet is "Atnagagdlintft
nalinginarik tusaryminasasenmik,"
which is supposed to read "Som ething
for reading; accounts of all sorts of
entertaining subjects" The language
is that of Greenland, a dialect of tia
Eskimo. There is still another paper
published in Greenland called "Ka-
ladlit."-Washington Herald.

Margaret Durham was the latest

Would she be an usher at the

horribly shy. She never could do it
oh, never. But the chosen five
elected her for the sixth, so the even
ing found her a perfect flutter of
white frills and pink bows (this was
the pink musicale) awaiting to re-
ceive the early corners. Each of the
hardened five bore forward an i'm
posing auditor, and Margaret found
herself inquiring of a very ancient
and elegant old gentleman in a voice
scarcely audible, "Sir, shall l show
you to a seat?"
what, what, what?" demanded
the elderly party, irascibly, holding
his hand to his ar.
Sir" screamed the fustered
novice, shall I sew you to a sheet?"
Then five lace handkerchiefs were
crammed into five tittering mouths.

five were left to do the honors.-

RUBBER TRUST CUTS PAY.
Slackening Business Causes Sales
men to Suffer Reduction.

New York City.-That the financial
panic has not failed to affect what
are known as the big business inter-
ests is shown by the fact that the rub
Der goods industry of this country is
facing a falling off in trade. The
Rubber Trust is feeling the stress to
such an extent hat a reduction of
wages has been planned.
Recently orders were sent forth to
the hundred or more of the Trusts
retail and wholesale companies that
expenses must be cut.
Owing to the union rules and
agreements, wages to mechanics could
not be cut. and the higher priced men
alone will have their salaries reduced.
On April 1 the statesmen and clerks
of the rubber business in the East
and the majority of those employed
by firms in the West affiliated with
the Trust will be forced to stand a
reduction in salaries. The reduction
will not be less than ten per cent,
and in some cases will amount to
twenty-five per cent.
The men affected by the economical
regime are indignant.

The Airship in War.

The dirigible balloon, or airship,
as it is usually called, is now an es-
tablished success, and is sure to play
an important part in future wars.
The French Government is taking the
lead in the matter and will soon have
a whole fleet of aerial cruisers, CAP
able of sailing over the enemy's de-
lenses and dropping hundreds of
pounds of dynamite into their fortifi-
cations; or of gliding quietly out at
night over a ~battleship and dropping
down on her enough dynamite to
send her, a shattered wreck, with all
on board, to the bottom of the sea.
Germany is also making rapid
strides in this work. Count Zeppelin,

government, has built the largest and
probably the most scientifically

RESTORES MOTTO TO COINS

Lively Interest.

Washington, D. C.-Under suspen-
sion of the rules the House of Repre-

for the restoration of the motto "In
God We Trust" on the gold and silver
coins of the United States.
The bill was passed by a vote of
255 to 5. The debate on the subject
excited the liveliest interest.
Mr.. Carlin, of Virginia, said that in
the issuance of the order abolishing
the motto President Roosevelt had
acted unwisely and in violation of the
spirit of the law.
Ollie James, of Kentucky, declared
that in the Judgment of the Christian
people of the United States, the Pres
ident had made a great mistake.
In opposing the bill, Mr.. Kuster-
mann, Wisconsin, said that the motto
smacked of irreverence which went
dangerously close to sacrilege.

WHAT 1T MEANT TO RAILROADS
$415,000,00O Investment Has Entered
Receivers Hands Since New Years.


Receivers Hands Since New Years.
Chicago.-Since the first of the
year seven railroads with 5000 miles
OF trackage, representing an invest.
ment of S415, 100000, have gone into
the hands of receivers. The liabili.
ties of the roads aggregate $4,000
600. During the yea 1907 the list
of ~receiverships included nine small
roads, with a total of 349 miles, and
an investment of $S,882,460.
Railroad men estimate that about
100000 employees have been laid off
since November /. The mechanical
accounting, engineering and clerical
departments have been reduced an
average of one-third. In normal
times the railroads of the United
States employ about 100000 men.
Department heads have orders to con.
tinue a gradual wedding out process
wherever practicable.
While there has been a slight in.
crease in traffic of late, railroad men
say that the improvement has not
been sufficient to warrant the assump-
ton that the end of the reduction Of
forces has been reached. A few OF
the Eastern lines have reduced wages,
but the Western roads will do this
only as a last resort. Shop men and
others, however, have had their wages
cut by a shortening of their hours OF
labor. Rumors of a general advance
of freight rates have been current
here.

Chair Made From GaIlows.


Warden Burns E. Norton, of the
Maine State Prison, has just received
from the mandatory a table-chair

gallows which was used before capital

The gallows drop was made of solid
rock maple, with a pine top, the
whole being thoroughly put together
with bolts.
The old drop for many years had
been lying about the prison and
moved from place to place. Warden
Norton finally ordered it to be cut for
firewood and it was thrown into the
refuse.
The idea then came to him to have
a chair made from it, and the WORK
has just been finished. The chair il
