GEO. ABE ON GOvERNoRsHIP.
His Reply to the Friends Who Urged
Him to Become
in- Candidate.

Il have no wish to be governor of
my beloved state. / have even less
OF wish to be a candidate for gov
ernor. At the same time / have no
earthly objection to being mentioned
for the governorship.
During the present rainy spell,
which has delayed planting of corn,
we sit around and mention our
friends for the governorshlp. 1t is
our principal indoor sport. Every
body's dom it-doin' it-doin' it.
Some times man with a particular
ly keen insight into the possibilities
OF the autumn mentions an enemy.
The suggestion that | might under
certain unforeseen conditions become
g candidate has brought mirth and
laughter into many homes lately sad
dened by the internal dissensions of
cur r2rty. 1t has caused no incon-
yenience TO friends and has not
alarmed others. 1t Will permit the
piographer to say in my obituary
notice, in 1912 he was mentioned
for the governorship." Therefore it
is a good thing.
After all l would rather be men
toned for the governorship than be
elected governor and then keep on
being mentioned. With this kind ex-

THE nANDELION.

Iowa has few unmitigated NUS
ances, and one of them is the dande-
lion pest, which runs riot over lawns
and pastures. In the cities, where
special efforts are made to maintain
beautiful lawns, the dandelion
reaches its highest state of obnox-
iousness. Hundreds of acres OF
lawns are ruined by the pest. 1t
matters not how theoretically the
home owner may fight the pest, very
poor Roadway is made, for the simple
reason that a lot of nouseholders let
the dandelion have full sway. The
man who keeps his lawn clean one
year may have just as many dande-
lions next year, because his neigh
bors allowed the weed to go to seed.
The offspring of one dandelion is
enough to seed the whole of the adj
joining lot.
The dandelions can be killed with
cut much trouble and with very little
expense. The state college at Ames
mas suggested simple remedy which
has proved effective wherever tried.
Editor r. r. Moore of the Anamosa
Journal has used the remedy on his
lawn, and the following from his
paper tells all about the cure, how
it is applied and the result:
Now is the season of the year to
swat the dandelion. Since it is so
easy to kill them off, it is a shame to
allow these pests to take possession
of lawns and kill the grass. Last year
we killed hundreds of dandelions in
a very easy and simple manner. This
spring we are killing those donated
by our neighbors who allowed theirs
10 go to seed last year. The remedy
is so simple and easy of application
that there is no reason why all
should not get rid of the dandelions.
ITO each gallon of water, put in
one to two pounds of sulphate OF
iron, stir thoroughly and let stand
for six hours. A cheap sulphate OF
iron, suitable for the purpose, can be
purchased at the hardware stores for
one cent pound.
IF the dandelions are not very
thick they can be killed by spraying
them with this mixture. If you have
many OF them, take common
sprinkler and kill them by the whole
sale, by soaking them with the mix
ture. Do not be afraid of hurting
the grass. We can give you posi-
tive assurance that the grass will not
be harmed.
1t will do your heart good to see
the dandelions wither and die, be-
coming black as though burned. Try
| it and be happy"

A Husband Gets TO he a Habit

If it hadn't been for my being so
occupied with running the business
and bringing up the boys, / think I'd
gone out of my mind with loneliness.
You see, when a mans around week
In and week out, he gets to be a
habit. He pats you on the shoulder
as he passes you, setting the table
for tea, and you nod and smile, but
go on laying knives and forks and
plates. He stuffs his paper in his
pocket and kisses you goodbye after
breakfast, and it's all part of the
Gays round. You clear off tie table
and get the children off to school,
humming at your work, just as if the
kisses and the work would go on
Together everlastingly.
But when he's taken from you all
of sudden, he turns lover again.
You wonder how you could just have
turned your cheek for him to kiss
those mornings when you didn't feel
just up to the mark. If you had
known what was coming you'd put
your arms around his neck and held
him close every precious morning.
And there are evenings when it takes
all the will power at your command

knowing he will not come in with his

ready?"
You go to church and sit with your
two boys. The people around you
think you are finding consolation in
the sermon and the good music, but
most Of the time you are watching
other women jealously, women with
husbands, girls with lovers who open
the hymn book at the right place for
them, and hand them a coin TO drop
