CARBOLIC ACID USED
IN KILLING DANDELION

In happy and decidedly successful
solution of the dandelion problem at
the State School of the Deaf and Blind
in this city, Superintendent w. K
Argo is using a small portion of mon
ey left by the late w. s. Stratton. Mr..
Stratton bequeathed a certain amount
to the school, the interest on which is
to go for prizes among the pupils. Su-
perintendent Argo has offered prizes
to the boys digging up the most dan
delions on the school grounds. and
about 80 boys are working on the
lawn several hours ev y day. They
wear bibs and overalls, and carefully
save the extracted dandelions in their
pockets, to be counted and placed to
their credit at the close of the day.
The grounds are rapidly being rid of
the troublesome flower.
w. D. Pierce. manager of the Fair
mount and Riverside cemeteries in
Denver, is actively engaged in a cru
sade against dandelions, and his meth
cd, which seems to be most efficient,
might well be adopted by Colorado
Springs people whose lawns are over
ridden with the yellow pest

which costs so cents per gallon. in an
oil can, and places four or five drops
in the head of the dandelion. This acid
soaks into the roots, and in a day or
two the whole plant. root. branch and
stem is dead. Many local residents
have used gasoline with success in
killing dandelions, as suggested in a.
Gazette editorial yesterday.

Tho Harlequin Cabbage Bug

This insect is more common in the
Southern part of the United States
than in Colorado; nevertheless, 1t has
made its appearance in districts far
toward the north of the state. 1t be-
longs to the true bugs and, of course,
does its injury by sucking the juice
from the leaves and stems of the
plant. causing them to wither and the
plant to die. 1t is injurious to cab
bage. mustard, radish, and other
plants of this nature.
The eggs are very small and usual
ly deposited in two parallel rows,
about a dozen in each bunch. The
newly hatched insects are green,
marked with black, but as they grow
they become f1attened, bright red,
black, and yellow markings. The eggs
hatch on the tird or fourth day af-
ter laying, and the young bugs are
ready to reproduce many generations
during the season, which permits the
insects to become very injurious
where they have secured a foothold.
The insect is very difficult to kill.
Even the ordinary remedies for bugs
appear to have very little effect upon
this insect. This may be helped by
planting trap crop of mustard,
which attracts the insects from the
main crop, and where the kerosene
emulsion may be applied with sufi-
cient strength to kill both bugs and
plants without, of course, loss to the
crop Sometimes the planting of
radishes among the cabbage plants
will attract the bugs away from the
cabbage and prevent injury for the
present.
As already stated, this is a south
ern insect, particularly. 1t will not
live over in our Colorado climate in
any except the mildest winters. Con-
sequently, if upon its appearance it
can be kept from doing injury during
the current year, there is little pros
pect that it will survive the winter
and form a serious pest the next year.
This makes the use of trap crops es-
pecially applicable to conditions in
this state.

Lincoln Park Notes

8. B. Whitlow has made some not
iceable improvements in the place oc-
cupied by him on Sherman avenue.
The changes not only add to the
convenience of the family. but add to
the attractiyeness of the corner.
Another Sherman aveune resident
who has greatly improved the looks
of his place is J. E. Freidinger. He
has grubbed out the peach filters and
leveled and cleaned up generally.

cipal of the local school. for which
he filed no application, has been filed

WRITES BOOK TO VARY
THE MONOTONY OF HIS I'M
PRISONMENT IN THE PEN

To relieve the monotony of life in
the Canon City penitentiary. D. w.
Silverhorn. one of the smoothest
crooks ever arrested in this city, is
turning his attention to literature and
has written a letter to The Gazette,
offering for publication his -Reminis-
cences of Russian Spy" The stories
are supposed to concern his own ex-
periences in various parts of the
world.
The f1uency with which Silverhorn
could rattle off fairy tales about him
self, while he was in the tolls in this
city. gave him the reputation among
local officers of being dope fiend and
the most entertaining liar they had
ever encountered Shorn of all imag-
mary stunts, however. the criminal
record of Silverhorn as a confidence
man and burglar. was sufficient to
earn him a sentence of 10 years in the
penitentiary at the hands of Judge w
S. Morris for grand larceny committed
in this city. Silverhorn who has been a
globe trotter. has considerable educa-
ton, is a good penman and his face
ious disposition is shown in the fol-
lowing reference to his sentence in
The district court. In his letter to The
Gazette he says:

vice of my advising physician, Judge

here and the students are to be con-

occasion. DIR. Vance is one OF the COM
missioners to the Presbyterian gem

yer and came here as the guest OF
Rev. ]. r. Thomas, whom he had
known from boyhood.
There was a splendid audience and
the sermon was in keeping with the
extraordinary character of the event.
Men and women OF all denominational
afiliation had gathered to pay the
tribute OF their presence to the mem
bers of the class and to listen to the
words of the distinguished speaker.
After an introduction by Rev. Thomas
In which he was eulogized as one OF
the most eminent divines of his
church In the central west. DIR. Vance
said that It gave him pleasure to be
present and to be privileged to speak
TO the graduating class on some OF the
things touching the future.
DIR. Vance prefaced his sermon by
describing the Greek love of athletics,
particularly OF running, because 1t
brought out the best physical char
acteristics OF those who entered the
lists. He said II was the custom at
the Isthmian and Olympic games TO
have erected upon the race course

one at the middle and the other at
the end. Upon the first was inscribed

THE ESSENTIALS FOR A
GAME OF BASE BALL SIM.
PIE AND INEXPENSIVE


lrhe essential apparatus for base
ball is simple and inexpensive. All
that is required Is a field. a stick. the
bali itself. and police protection for
the umpire. One advantage of the
game as played professionally, is
that those sitting in the grand stand
can play the game a great deal better
than the eighteen men on the dia-
mond. 1t is also true that any one of
the spectators. even though perched
on telephone pole across the street
or looking through knothole In the
fence beyond right field. can judge of
the pitchers skill or the runners
fieetness, much more intelligently
than the arbiter who stands behind
the battery. The great merit of the
game is that the people can partici-
