KANSAS WOMEN ARE
DIVIDED ON THE MATTER

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Aug 1.-THE
Central Women's Christian Temper
ancn Union of Cincinnati, the largest
body OF The kind in Ohio, has de-
nouuced woman cigarette smokers,
but at the same time put itself pub
licly on record as opposed 10 the per-
sonal crusade against Mrs. Alice
Longworth by the National Anti-Cigar
cite League Of the East, which is
headed by Lucy Page CASTOR.
The Central w. G.. T. L. is against
the Walnut Hills branch of the organ

KILL THE INJURIOUS WEEDS
Noxious Grasses Should Be Moved
Now, Allowed to Thoroughly Dry
and Then Burned.

(By B. o. LONGYEAR, Colorado Agricul-
tural College.) !
This is the time of the year when
most weeds have reached their full
growth in height and are now setting
about their chief business of product
ing seed for next years weed crop:
Ditch banks, road sides, fence rows.
and neglected corners are now In too
many cases perfect jungle of rags
weeds, sunflowers, giant marsh elders
and other members of the weed tribe.
If left for week or ten days too
long they will have ripened full crop
of seeds and scattered a large part
on the ground.
Ditch banks are especially favorite
places for weeds, and II neglected now
they will soon have sown their seeds
in the most favorable places to have
them carried to every part of the
irrigated fields later on.
This is the critical time, therefore,
to act. Now the weeds now; let
them lie until dry enough to burn;
then fire then when there is no dan
ger from the fire.
If left until spring, as is commonly
the case, but few of the seeds are del
stroyed by burning the old weeds, as
they have been scattered long before
and are often protected from the
flames by a layer of soil.
