PARIS GREEN SUBSTITUTE.

Try arsenate Of lead as a substl-
tute for Paris green. You can make
the arsenate of lead by putting eleven
ounces of acetate Of lead in a hogs
head containing $50 gallons Of water,
with four ounces Of arsenate Of soda.
These unite readily and remain in
suspension in water better than Paris
green. The arsenate of lead is pre-
cipitated in the solution. But 1t is
easily bought already prepared. One
fourth of a pound to fifty gallons OF
water will kill potato beetles, but it
is better to use half pound for this
purpose. It will kill few curculios
C. peaches and plums, but the Earring
method is far better, for these suck
ing insects seldom get the poison

There are few shrubs to equal the
spireas for a fine display, and possibly
none among the early Towering Sec
ton that can compare with It. It's
beautiful flowers are so freely pro-
duced that the bushes appear to be
covered with snow and a large block
Of 1t in a park OF garden makes a
splendid display. It is also excellent
as a single specimen on a lawn, and,
being strictly hardy and not particu-
lar as to soil It may be planted any
where without fear as to the result.
But keep the man with the shears
away from it in spring. The proper
time to prune is after the flowers are
past, when the older wood can be re-
moved to make room for the forming
of new shsats.-Indianapolis News.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF CRICKET

A granite monolith was recently
unveiled at Hambledon, little vii
lage in Hampshire, to mark the s,-

The Ham6ledon men invented cricket
a century and half ago, and in cele-
bration of their exploit a Hambledon
team has been playing All England.
Twelve famous cricketers from the
All England team came down to play
and to witness the unwilling of the
monollth, an event scheduled to be
brought or by DR.. w. G. Grace. the

Contestants in fhe Glidden Automobile
Contest Leave Detroit on their
Journey of 2, 636 Miles.

Detroit, Mich, July IL. With his
cross roads and other points in the
days journey Dai II. Lewis, pathfinder
for the sixth annual reliability run Of
the American Automobile association
the Glidden tour-rolled away at 7:30
o'clock this morning and began the
longest and hardest run which the
association has ever undertaken. The
2. 636 mile journey is to take them
through Chicago, Minneapolis and
Denver to Kansas City.
Cadillac square, where the cars stood
since they Checked in" to Chairman
F. B. Hover Friday and Saturday. was
crowded with spectators and automo-
bile enthusiasts from all parts of the
country. They made the air ring with
cheers when Pathfinder Lewis drove
away from the starting line. The 20
noncontesting cars, which will carry
newspaper men and officials on the trip
stood about on the square.
Every year there has been trouble
finding suitable overnight accommoda-
tions~for the 200 and odd tired. dirty
and hungry participants of the tour,
but this year the problem was really
formidable one owing to the size of
some of the places where it is neces-
sary to call a halt. So it was decided
to engage sleeping and dining cars, to
be side tracked at the night stops.
The train will consist of six sleeping
cars, three dining cars, head quarters
car for the officials and their outfit and
baggage car for the use of the tire
makers who send along supplies. The
tourists will sleep in the Pullman berthE
and will get not only their dinner al
night anf their breakfast in the dining
cars, but also will receive each DAY 9
lunch put up in box.

Come in and see US!
President Henry J. Waters.

The Topeka Capital says editorially
of the new President of the Agricul-
tural College:
The Board of Regents of the State
Agricultural College are to be congrat-
ulated on securing at last, after fifteen
months of inquiry and investigation,
an every way admirable president for
the college in Dean Henry ]. Waters
of the Missouri State Agricultural Col
lege. DR.. Waters has been for many
years the head of that institution, a
position corresponding to the president
of the Kansas college, but under a diff
ferent title, owing to the fact that the
college in Missouri is department of
the State University. But Missouri's
Agricultural College has a very high
standing and has accomplished great
work in stock breeding and stock rails
ing experiments and in practical farm
work and laboratory work many result
of which are known to this state.
Dean Waters is an agricultural col
lege graduate and has been engaged in
agricultural educational work ever
since, period of twenty-three years,
for fourteen years as head of the Mis-
souri, college. The regents offered the
presidency of the Kansas college by
unanimous vote, after having visited
through their committee, fifteen states
and thoroughly looked over the situ-
alton. From every quarter only the
best words were spoken of Dean
Waters as fine executive, conserva-
tive, well balanced man of wide exper-
fence and the largest understan nding OF
the problems of agricultural training
Altogether, the regents an dthe college
are fortunate in having found the right
man for the place., There is no insti-
tuition in Kansas that fills a more i'm.
portant place than the college at Man
haitian. It's success is vital to Kansas
agricultural progress. The new presi-
dent recognizes the work that is being
done and can be done and the Immense
value of it 10 Kansas agriculture, ol
he would not have accepted the offer OF
the regents His colleagues in Mis-
souri, have been loath ia, lose him and
what is the gain Of Kansas is the los
of Missouri.

THE DRAKE ESTATES


The estates of Sir Francis Drake, all
told. do not extend over more than six
thousand acres of land in the county of
Devon. and are heavily encumbered. There
are no Drake estates in Chancery, and. In
one word, the $125,O00, 600 or S2OO, ,0OO, 600
Drake estate dangled before the eyes Of the
American Drake association by unscrupu-
lous schemers is non-existent and a foolish
myth.
1t may be of interest to add that the cele-
brated admiral had. in addition to his elder
brother Thomas, another and still older
brother, named John. who commanded the
ship Swan in the attack upon Vera Cruz.
There is no record as to what became of
John Drake, except that he was badly
wounded at Vera Cruz Possibly he may
have remained on this side of the Atlantic.
But even If that were the case, and If the
brakes in the United States were his de-
scendants, they could have no claim what
-soever upon the Drake property in Devon
shire, since no mention is made by the
great admiral in his will of his brother
John, the property being explicitly be-
queathed to the son of his brother Thomas
and from that son of his brother Thomas
the property and name have passed down,
not always in the direct male line. but
sometimes through the female line. yet al
ways by virtue of Wills, deeds of settlement
and patents from the crown, which are per-
fectly valid in law, and which cannot be
upset or set aside by any legal process.
Another point to be taken into considera-
ton by the Drake association is the exist
ence of a law in England which provides
that claimants TO an estate, If they sue
ceed In proving their right thereto should
not be permitted to demand in connection
Herewith the back rental for more than a
very limited number of years, the law TAX
ing into consideration the fact that in
Great Britain the major portion of the
revenues derived from landed property
have to be spent in one way or another
in Improvements of the same; hence that
it would be unjust to exact money that had
after all been invested for the benefit of
the successful claimant So that even if
one were to accept the preposterous hypoth-
esis to the effect that the brakes in the
United States were lineally descended from
the celebrated English navigator they
could claim nothing like S125,o O00 nor even
One-hundredth part of that amount
There is so much swindIing done in this
ton, at an immense expense to the claim
ants of just such ridiculous pretensions to
landed property in Great Britain as this
Drake association, that the widest kind

such as that which I have made above
