sons determination to go into busi-

his refusal Of the Craftsmanship. Candi-
date Taft turned to him and said:
Secretary Loeb, If l am elected Presi-

and a three-hour chat, during which the

This is Worth Trying

An expert In Salt Lake City in search
ing for means for roofing out the dan
deliou pest from lawns claims To have
found the following effective:
Two pounds of suIphate Of iron were
dissolved in two gallons OF water. Il
was then poured into spraying pump.
In one place a patch of dandcions was
sprayed heavily. another patch was
sprayed medium. and third patch
was sprayed lightly. Inside Of an hour
the dandelions were burned black IA
coal. The lawn grass and the clover
were not touched and stood ss fresh ~
ever.
The grass Was not affected where the
dandeliona were sprayed the heaviest.
The dandclions were killed to the
roots. The body Of the roots absorbed
the sulphate. and II Is said the sprouts
will not come up from the roots again.
The grass looked brighter than any
