WEST NOT FOR TEDDY
D. n. MeArthur Democratic State
Chairman, Says Sentiment in
Cow Country Is For Others.

ION a trip through the southern
part Of the Third congressional dis
trict to get in touch with the situa-
ton 1 found there was but little SEN
timent for Roosevelt among the re-
~publicans,' said D. II. Macarthur,
chairman Of the democratic state cen
trail committee, to a Forum represent
ative today.
Most of the republicans of the COW
country, where Roosevelt is supposed
to be particularly strong in this state,
feel hat since he has left the repub-
lican party they r no longer under
any obligation to support him. They
all seem to think he has turned the
republican party down and therefore
they are no longer bound to consider
his candidacy at all. / was quite sur
prised to learn this, for / imagined
they would all follow along with him.
The sentiment seems to be largely di-
vided between Taft and Wilson, a fact
that is really surprising.

How TO CONTROL
The DANDELIONS
PROF. II. 1. RoLLEY SAYS THAT
IT CAN BE DONE EAsILY-AFT-
Err GRASS GETS CONTROL OF
THE GROUND WILL BE NO MORE
TROUBLE WITH WEEDS.

at is probable that the dandelion
gives more gain in pleasure to the
3-year-olds than it causes loss to adj
ults. However, dandelions may be
controlled" says Prof. II. L. Bolley,
in a bulletin just issued.
Primarily weed spraying methods
were developed so that weeds could
be held in check in grain fields when
they are too thick to pull or handle
in other ways, or when the fields were
too extensive to allow of cultivation.
We had in mind the common field
mustard. The work as it develops
proves to be a real boon to those who
carry it out carefully and at the prop
er time, it being possible to produce
much more wheat on the same ground
after proper weed spraying Int at the
same time prevent the production Of
seed by the weeds.
Incidentally it was found that dan
deltons In blue. grass lawns could be
held under easy control at small x
pense. Unfortunately those who are
least competent to do the work in a
manner 1t should be done are the ones
most anxious to try such experiments.
There have been many failures. Spray
ing on small private lawns is hardly
profitable work or even desirable for
the reason that anyone who will NOW
a lawn as often as it should be moWn
in order to make a good lawn and keep
1t watered In such a as to pro
duce g. good grass growth will have no
particular trouble in keeping a lawn
in such form that dandelions will be of
slight Importance.
However, on large park areas,
street ways, it is a different PROPOSE
ton. I take pride at this time in call
ing attention of anyone who has time
to visit the agricultural college to the
fact that 1t might be pleasing to them
to look at the college grounds and to
contrast the condition of the grounds
with what they were two or three
years ago, with regard to the presence
or absence of dandelions. These
grounds have been placed in the on
dition they are nov in at a cost of
less than the full time of n man.
"The same solution which holds the
dandelions under control and gives the
grass a nance to get hold of the
ground, readily destroys all other an
nual weeds which water solution will
wet. Without attempting to criticize
anyone I have no hesitancy In saying
that our city could control the weeds
on the ~boulevards and vacant lots and
streets by the spraying method pos
sibly at very much less expense than
they now place upon the cutting off
of the tops of the weeds after the
seeds are ripe. Property owners might
we'll be pleased to pay a slight tax to
have some blue grass seed scattered
on the sides of the streets and such
control exercised owe the weeds that
the grass could occupy the ground.
When the grass once gets control of
the ground the weeds are no longer to
be taken are of. Think 1t over"

Like Rip Van Wrinkle he is a persist

the stage OF today, as he compelled
attention in the theatre Of yesterday.
No rural play of this or past decades
contained so universally a popular

comedy situations blended in the de-
velopment OF its story.

coincidence and kept on, and the choir
continued:

he got red in the face and paused.

fooled him. knew he was set for a

The splitter Is terror when II works

some hitters I think Cobb and Craw-

the game ever produced. The splitter had
them all standing on their heads.
Neither Ty nor Sam could get 1t out

eight rounds and had two gents gone
