Get After the DandeIions.

Kill the dandelions before they
go to seed or the job will be a
great deal worse next year. To do
this dig the plant out by the roots
getting as much of the tap root as
possible and squirt gasoline in the
hole on the end of the tap-root. A
more simple remedy is twyenty
per cent solution of the sulphate
OF iron applied early in the morn
ing on bright days with n sprinkling
pot three or four times during the
summer. The solution costs only
flve cents a gallon but at least
three applications must be made at
from ten to fifteen days apart to

can be procured from almost any
drug store at the rate of six
pounds for twenty-five cents. The
sulphate not only gets rid of the
but all other weeds

Henry A. Clazier.

Henry A. Glazier died at lis home
Saturday noon, March II. Though it
was quite generally known that his
health was failing yet his death came
as great surprise to the community.
His health began to fail six years ago
and since that time he had been able
to do but little work.
For nearly year his health began
to fail more rapidly until the hour
came when he quietly passed out into
rest and life.
He was born in Center Haverhill,
N. H., in 1887 and therefore was in
his 74th year. He had been resident
of Barton 81 years, and member and
supporter of the Methodist Episcopal
church and as mason was deeply in
terested in that fraternity. He
leaves to mourn his loss, one brother,
who lives in California, a wife and
one son, Eugene, for whom their many
friends have deepest sympathy. The
funeral services were held at the home
on Tuesday at two o'clock and were
conducted by former pastor, Rev
W. E. Douglass. assisted by Rev. w.
B. Dukesbire.
Card of Thanks We desire in this
way to thank our many friends for
all their kindness and sympathy and
help which they have shown US in our
bereavement and sorrow. We also
wish to thank those who sent flowers.
