AUTOMOBILE ROUTE
INCLUDES LANCASTER
Second Annual Tour of State
Assn. Week of July 10.
Cars VIII Reach Lancaster On Fourth
Day of Run May Stay
Here All Night.

President M. @. Moore of the Wis
consin State Automobile Association
and wife arrived in Lancaster Satur-
day night in his White gasoline car
piloted from Richland Center by L.
H. CLARK of this city. Mr.. Moore
was engaged in completing the arduous
work of going over the route Of the
second tour of the State Association
which takes place the week of July
10.
The route selected is as follows
July 10, cars leave Milwaukee go to
Marinette second day, Marinette to
Wausau third day, to La Crosse !;
fourth day either to Lancaster or
through this city to Mineral Point.
Then they will return through the
southern part of the state to Milwau-
kee.
1t is hoped that the motorists will
stay all night in Lancaster. If they
decide to go on to Mineral Point that
day their stay here will be limited to
ten or fifteen minutes They will be
met by local autoists and their visit
here will be made as pleasant as
possible. Between 80 and 40 cars
will take part in the run, The cars
will average between 225 and $50
miles per day.
Mr.. Moore left Sunday morning for
Mineral Point He and Mr. Clark
reported that the roads between Fenni-
more and Richland Center were in
extremely bad condition. Many of
the highways were so muddy as to be
almost impossible.
The State Association will offer
substantial money prize to the path
master whose road is the best over
which the tour passes this year. It
should be of interest to each and every
pathmaster to ascertain the exact route
Of the tour and to put in the best
possible shape the road over which
this tour passes.

TO KILL THE DANDELION.
Prof. w. L. Oswald Tells How 10 Get
Rid of Weed.

The following article which we
take from the Chicago Farmer and
Drovers Journal was written by w
L. Oswald a former Lancaster boy
who is now member of the faculty
Of the University Of Minnesota Agri-
cultural Department:
From the large number of inquiries
received at the experiment station re-
garding the eradication of dandeiions,
it is apparent that dandelions are this
year more numerous than ever on our
lawns.
For the past two years iron sulphate
has been used at the Minnesota agri-
cultural station for the eradication of
dandelions in lawns. Fairly good
success has resulted from these ex-
periments. Although spraying the
dandelions does not by any means
mean absolute destruction of this
pess, it at least kills many of the
towering stalks and keeps hundreds
of dandelions from coming to seed. II
also kills many of the younger plants.
If one were to spray lawn carefully
once a month for an entire season, the
results would possibly warrant the
time and expense connected with the
spraying Sulphate of iron is a by
product in the manufacture of wire.
and costs from 1 to cents per pound
Sulphate, at the rate Of one and one
half pounds to one gallon of water is
the proper proportion to use on the
lawns. The solution should be APP
piled with sprayer which gives a
very fine, mistlike spray. This is
possible only with spEayec that has
a pump attached so that considerable
pressure can be obtained. Apply the
solution about three days after the
lawn is cut, on a day that is bright
and warm. The grass will be some
what blackened, but little damage
results. Some Of the white clover,
owing to its broad leaf is somewhat
injured. The lawn should be sprayed
once a month. Care should be taken.
when spraying, to keep the solution
off the cement sidewalks, as it dis.
colors them.
Professor Leroy Cady Of the hurti-
cultural division, advises that lawn
grass seed be sown about two days
after the lawn has been sprayed for
the first time 1t has been found at
the experiment station that the
mixture which makes the best lawn
grass seed is made up Of blue grass
white clover and red top, at the rate
of fourteen pounds of blue grass to
two pounds each of red top and white
clover. This seed should be sown
broadcast and raked in. Besides this,
nitrate Of sode at the rate of $50
pounds to an acre should be scattered
over the lawn. The nitrate of sode
shonld be applied before a rain, or
should be applied in the evening and
the lawn sprinkled The grass will
burn if it is not wet after the nitrade
of sode is applied The object sought
is to thicken the grass and thus
allow less chance for dandelions.

Next in order was an grafton "A
Plea for the Classics by Kathron
Martin. Miss Martin decried the
tendency Of modern stuoents to neglect
or lightly regard the study of the so
called dead languages. She cited the
cases Of writer's who rose TO great
heights but were badly handicapped
by their meagre classical knowledge.
She told OF enjoyment the satisfaction
found in a classical education. Miss
Martin grafton was filled full of
sound reasoning The introduction Of
scientific, manual training and com
mercial courses into high school

progress but the danger lies in the
neglect Of the true and tried classical
branches.

necessity for true culture among

advantages OF specialized course.
Prof R. L Lymans' s address was

people take mental inventory of their
