 At l 1 o'clock all the Woodmer present met at the hall ant marched across to the church where good comfortable seats hat been reserved for them. and ther Rev. M. K.

One would have to be present to realize the pleasure of standing up to table loaded with such fine things with which to satisfy ones hunger and after such a large crowd had eaten just all they could. the fine ladies seemed sorry that there were not more people present to partake O. the large quantity of provision as had been left. Such a day and such a time makes one sorry that it is only for day.

MONEY IN WEEDS.
Good Market for Common Wild Plants That
 Grow Around Us.

ing for medical purposes plants that are growing wild all around us but which no one seems to think Is worth while to gather. This fact is pointed out by the Department of Agriculture in a bulletion called Weeds Used as Medicine" which it would be worth while for the boy who reads this to write for if he wants to make a little money out of the vacant ground all around him. The bulletin will explain how to prepare the weeds for the market and will give some idea of the price that the industrious boy can expect to obtain for the weeds that are marketable.
 Belgium and other European countries ship to this part of the world every year about 5O,QOO pounds of burdock root. The root sells for from s to 8 cents a pound and the seed for from 5 to 10 cents. This will probably be news to most of those diligent workers who have been weeding the bur dock from thousands of farms and carefully consigning it to the flames, while the more thrifty Europeans have been selling it to us in consignments that come more than 5000 miles to a country that abounds in it.
 Who has not wondered at the sight of Italians digging for dande- lions. The country boy knows that dandelion greens are not bad for the table. but what few but the astute alien are wise to is that druggists derive part of their in- come from the sale of dandelion as a tonic and that from 4 to 6 cents pound can be obtained from the root that fiourishes everywhere ready for the picking.
 Instead of gathering the dock root that goes to waste all around us, the American nation pays for the transportation of 125, 900 pounds of this plant every year. The dried root sells at from 2 to 8 cents a pound and is considered an excellent blood medicine. The waste lands are alive with it and any boy could make money by gathering and preparing it for the market.
 A quarter of million pounds of dog grass, a remedy for kidney troubles, comes to this country an nually from abroad. Is it because we cannot grow dog grass in America? No, but because of some reason this unthrifty nation imports it instead of pulling it up and preparing it from the places where it grows all around us. It brings from 5 to z cents pound. Here's chance for the boy who finds the long vacation begin to pail upon him to show that he is as industrious as his competitor in the old world.
 Then there is a pokeweed, a skin and blood remedy, the dried roots of which sells for from 2 to 5 cente a pound; mullen. which is a nerve tonic and a cough medicine, and which sells for good prices, but is not thought to be salable by the boys of this country German boys know better-they sell it for importation to America); lobelia seeds, which sell for IS cents a pound, and catnip, which can be exchanged for pocket money at the rate of from 9 to 8 cents pound.
 These are only a few of the many weeds that are salable, but which we allow to go to waste in this country, while we buy the identical thing from abroad. It will open the eyes as well as line the pockets of our boys to get the bulletin referred to and make mon-

and foresight of the Judge Officer

fellow who hailed from down the river

questions concerning his name, address

tests This Evening.

Event-Rides to he Given to
Patrons of the Club,

The Island City boating club will
pull off its handicap race this eve
ming at the harbor. and practically
all the boats in the harbor will take
part in the contest. A large number
of the boats ran over the course last
evening in order to get their official
rating for the course and there are
several more entries which will go
over the course early this evening
and join in with the other contest
ants. The scheme is to allow each
boat no more than five per cent in
crease in speed over the speed shown
in the trial runs and as the boats will
be sent out from the harbor with
handicaps which would bring them
in all together, it ought to prove an
interesting race. The judges are to
be John w. Larson. George Andrews
and Fl. w. Rolf The time keepers
will be w. II .Gest, Jr., and w. T.
