THERE ARE many expressions
of regret, that property owners
should permit quack grass to
grow about their premises. This
is one of the greatest nuisances
ever encountered by the farmer.
Many farmer has been driven
TO the poor house by the quack
grass. If you will take look at
some of the streets of this city
and alleys and even on the va
can't lots you will find large
amount of this quack grass
growing and thriving, and going
to seed. The recent order of
the Mayor and his reference to
the law, means also the cutting
of this farm pest. Indeed il
the farming communities the
quack grass is feared more than
the Canadian thistle or the bur-
dock. The first move in this di-
rection should be made by the
city itself. The Street Commits
sioner should be given orders to
cut every bit of quack grass that
he can find in the city. Now is
the time to cut it before it goes
to seed. The School of Agricul-
ture of Dunn County has discov-
cred a simple and etficacious
remedy for that troublesome
pest. 1t has been found that
sulphuric acid thrown on TIE
ground will destroy every YES
tige of this nuisance, but it will
also destroy every other growth
as well. The soil can be brought
back to it's normal condition by
putting on lime. the tests are
now under way to determine the
exact proportion of the lime need
ed to bring back the land and
most quickly neutralize the acid.

THE SECURING of men for

THE SECURING of men for
work in factories and farms is
becoming serious problem. 1t
is next to impossible to hire a
man for any kind of work, and
many of the large employers in
this section of the state are adj
vertising far and wide for men
to work in woods. On railroads,
and IN factories. Hundreds OF
men have been brought from the
cities of the east and from Mil
waukee and Chicago to work on
the railroads, making repairs
that were needed on account of
the recent washouts, but as these
men are picked up from the riff
raft of the cities. it is not eS-
pected that they stay more than
a few days. Then they scatter
to the four winds. Many men
secured in this way do not want
to work. The Willow River
Lumber Go. of Grandview is in
need of men for all kinds of work
and are willing to pay good
wages. Our own Dynamite plant
is just now in need of a large
number of men. Superintend-
emit Beers informs US that he has
advertised for men in daily
papers, and that he wishes it
generally known that men can
find employment at the plant at
any time. Orders are getting
ahead of the output, men will be
needed in nearly every depart
ment of the works. Besides this
there is considerable construc-
ton work being done. New
buildings are going up at all
times, it seems almost impossi-
BILE to get the proper number of
laborers. The White River Lum-
Der Company of Mason is adver-
Using for lumber pliers, and so
it goes. Men wanted every
where. This condition of course
is to be preferred to that of a
year or more ago, when men
were walking the streets looking
for work. It is indeed a sign of
returning prosperity. There
are more men employed in the
city of Washburn today then
have been employed here for the
past ten years. This Is the
statement made by one who
knows the situation.

Jurors Oppose Amendment.

A poll of the city court juries yester- day morning indicated that the proposed prohibition amendment to the constitu- tion will not meet with any great favor in the country precincts when the election on the measure Is held November 29.
 Four full juries, minus one man, were organized yesterday morning for service this week in the city court. There were Al jurors empaneled and of this number 30 oppose the amendment while the remain ing 12 members favor the measure.
 All of the jurymen committed them selves freely on the subject. Inquiry dis closed the fact that the men comprising the four juries had come from all parts of the county, and great majority or them are representative citizens of the rural districts.
 All of the anti-amenders spoken to ex- pressed confidence that their communities will come in with majorities against the amendment, while the amenders who are doing jury service this week are equally optimistic over the outlook.

Family Cough Syrup Cures Any Cough In Five Hours.
 NEW PRESCRIPTION HERE.

Here Is given the most effective cough prescription known to the medical world. It is a mild laxative. too, and this is what a body needs when suffering with cough and cold on the lungs. A cough or cold indicates poisons in the system, causing inflammation and congestion. Nearly all cough syrups relieve, but make the trouble worse by their constipating effects. This prescription not only re- lieves quickly, but it cures any cough that is curable. Get one-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark one ounce com pound essence cardiol and three ounces syrup white pine compound. Mix in a bottle Take for acute cough or bronchitis twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then one-half to one teaspoonful three or four times daily. Give children less according to age. A few hours treatment will cure and heal the throat and lungs of all but con- sumptives. Cut this out and give 1t to some friend who may need it to be saved com an early death by consumption.
