Hand Cut Off.

C. \. Matthews, a white man, met
with a serions accident last Saturday
morning at The planning mill of the
Louisiana Creosoting Company. He
was at work by one Of the machines
when in some manner his hand got
caught in it and was partially cut off,
leaving the last two fingers or half a
hand. Only short time before Mr..
Matthews had one of his legs painfully
injured forcing him to use crutches
for about two weeks. After he had
sufficiently recovered he started to
work again and five days later met

This is very cheap and easily
applied remedy and should be
tried by our farmers. 1t is under
stood that several who heard of
Mr.. Waters talk on the subject
say that they are going to try it
right away. The mixture should
be tried after every rain. It can
be done while cultivating the cot

in doing it-Alexandria Town

Try This Weevil Remedy.

Town Talk gives to its readers a
a new boil weevil remedy-but
we'll tried and proved to be effica-
ci0us in northeast Texas.
Mr.. w. II. Waters, a cousin of
Mr.. c. Waters of this city, who
resides in Red River county, Texas,
is here on a visit to his relatives.
In discussing the boil weevil
problem he seemed surprised that
the people Of this parish had heard
nothing of the remedy used by his
people for the past three years
with success. He relates to Town
Talk the following:
1--WE take a barrel containing
about fifty gallons of water and
place in it twenty ounces of crude
carbolic acid and stir it with a
paddle. An old sack is saturated
with the water and hung on a pro.
lection attached to the pillow or
cVltivator, and it is dragged over
the rows of cotton. The weevils
ara not killed by this, but they
leave for parts unknown. 1t is
best to have two of the barrels,
and place one at each end Of the
rows. 1t is sati:;a ed and dragged
over Tie top of the plant to the
other end, and then saturated again
and dragged back over the same
row to the point Of starting, and
then the next row is treated in the
same way. BY this method both
sides of the leaves, bolls, etc, are
sprinkled. The water in the barrel
should be stirred each time that
the sack is dipped in for the rea.

Are Your Ewes
Valuable to
You?

If so, allow us to call your at
tention to these facts:
That more eyes are injured by
the injudicious use of glasses than
by any other known cause.
That a great many people are
wearing spectacles unsuitable for
them, and for which their eyes
have not been properly tested.
That the old-fashioned and I'M
scientific methods of testing the
eyes by trying OH various spec
tacles of different strengths until
the sight is suited is, to say the
least of it, dangerous.
That proper lenses and correctly
fitting frames are absolutely es-
sential for comfortable spectacle
wearing.
We test each eye separately and
fit the frame to each individual
case, as experience has shown that
only by these methods can a salts
factory result be obtained.

MINDS OF DAKOTANS
Increased Production and Gre.
alton of Power VIII Be Up
permost in Interest.

Pierre, s. D., June 15.--The idea OF
conservation Of the natural resources
Of the state is expected to appeal SO
widely that there will be more than
5000 citizens Of the state present at the
meeting to be held here June 20, 80 and
July 1. The meeting will cover wide
range Of subjects. prominent among
which will be the conservation Of the
soil, since 1t lie primarily an agricui-
tural and stock raising state. In this
department experts on soil culture will
have place. The conservation and ap-
plication Of artesian well power and
The judicious distribution Of such well
power over the artesian basin will also
claim attention. The opening and de-
velopment Of the coal fields Of the state
and the conservation Of the gas supply
for light, heat and power purposes will
be considered in connection with the
development Of the water power from
the Missouri, Jim and Sioux rivers, as
well as the lesser streams In other parts
Of the state.
More intensive farming and more
farmers will be the present watchword
of the boosters who will gather here.
and methods Of properly advertising
the new portions Of the state will re-
ceive large attention.
The promise now Is that this first
conservation meeting will develop the
largest attendance OF any event ever
pulled of at the state capital.

THAT NAME "YANNIGAN"
WAS STARTED LONG AGO

Maybe you have wondered where the
word Yannigan originated and you may
have also wondered who originated 1t. The
man who did so is In Atlanta with the
Philadelphia Athletes. He is Sam Irwin,
manager Of the Philadelphia Yannigans.
This word has been in existence since
1888. 1t was during the season that Mr..
Irwin named the Reserves, as they were
then called, the "Yannigans.' and 1t came
about in this way, according to Mr.. IT.

CHILD Is sMoTHERED
IN BURNING HOUSE

Platte, s. D., June 1.-THE farm
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Weaver
ling, 10 miles northwest Of Platte, was
the scene Of tragedy, as the result
Of which they lost their little 2-year-
old son. After the family had par
taken OF their supper, Mrs. Weaver
ling put the boy to bed In q bed room.
She blew out the light and went out
to the barn to aid her husband with
the milking. She was gone only q few
minutes, but when herself and husband
came from the barn they were horri-
fed to discover that the house was on
fire. The father entered the house to
rescue the boy, whom he found lying
on the floor just inside the sitting room
door. The little fellow had made his
escape from the bed room, but the sit
ting room door being closed stopped
him. The father picked UP the child
and carried him outside, but believes
he was dead at the time, having been
choked to death by the smoke which
filled the house. How the FIRE started
Is a mystery, but 1t Is thought the lamp
exploded It was impossible to ex-
tinguish the fire and the house and its
entire contents were consumed, maxi
ing the financial loss a heavy one to
Mr.. and Mrs. Weaverling. but this, Of
course. is regarded as nothing com
pared to the loss Of their child.

SACRIFICE HITTING

plate and lay down bunt which will adj
vance another runner unless he has tried
his skill along that particular line hun
dreds Of times. The big league today num-
bers more successful sacrifice hitters than
In any previous season. All this goes to
show the growing tendency among man
ayers to bolster up the inside forces of
their clubs Many ball game has been
won with the aid of a clean sacrifice nudg-
ing runner, or possibly two. around the
base lines In advance Of heavy hitter
who at the proper moment comes through
with the needed single. But the cham
pion long distance sacrifice story comes
out of the Southern league. Here it is:
1T seems that there was a man on
first in one particularly close game and
the batter going to the plate was instruct
ed to lay down bunt. He put roller to-
ward third, the first baseman was drawn
in and the second baseman rushed over to
cover first. The third sacker picked up
the ball and pegged to first. Everybody
saw the ball on the way. 1t hit the first

ner was hugging second, while the batter
overran first and stumbled and fell out in
right field. He quickly rose, retouched
first and sailed on down to second and
persuaded the other man to hustle along
ahead Of him home with the winning runs.
The fans and players thought the ball was
lost in the grass and finally 1t was found
in right field. How 1t got there was a
mystery until the man who hit the bunt
explained. It appeared that the ball
bounded from the second baseman's glove
up under the runners arm as he sprinted
past the bag. The runner closed his arm
down tight, kept on running, gave a stage
fall out in right field and at the same time
let the ball roll away from him. The right
fieloer wasn't wise to the inside play and
no one woke up until the hitter walked
out to the right field, dug around in the
high grass and finally located the ball."
