TO DESTROY WEEDS.
Agricultural College Gives Some
Practical Methods.

During the weed campaign the fol
lowing article by Julius Erdman OF
the Colorado Agricultural College is
especially timely:
1t is a rather tedious process and
hard on tools to remove weeds or
grass from walks by hoeing or CUT
ting them out between the stones,
but there are number OF chemicals
or sprays which can be used with
good success.
1. Salt. Take lb. of salt to I gal
lon OF water, boil and apply while still
hot, or dry salt may be used and then
watered in, but this will color the
walk more or less and is not quite
so effective.
?. Crude carbolic acid. 4 OF. OF the
liquid to l gallon of water, will also
destroy ants.
}. Sulphuric acid. As OF. of the
acid to gallon of water. Best ap-
piled with wooden pail.
4. Take / lb. OF powdered arsenic
to 3 gallons of cold water, boil and
stir well. Then add : gallons OF cold
water with lbs OF sal soda.
S. Lime and sulphur, 10 gallons OF
water, 20 lbs. of quicklime and lbs.
oil Howers OF sulphur are DOileu III an
iron vessel. After settling, the clear
part is dipped off and used when
needed.
There are also number OF com
mercial weed killers in the market
which can be bought at seed stores.
Applications of weed destroyers
should best be made on hot day or
right aften rain, with watering pot
(sprinkler), and one good application
is usually sufficient for the season. As
the most of them contain poison, eiti-
er arsenic or acids. great care should
be exercised in handling them"

WILSON SEES
DRILL TOURNEY
The President Takes Half Holiday and
Gets First Salute of al
Guns.

Washington, March 3l.-President
Wilson took half-holiday Saturday.
Incidentally he received his first official
general salute since he has been presi-
dent of the United States. Twenty-one
guns were fired by a battery at Fort
Myer, Virginia, three miles from WASH
ington, where the president spent his
half.holday witnessing the conclusion
of the three days drill tournament for
the benefit of the Army Y. NJ. c. A.
The president, who was prevented
from attending on the opening day, oc-
cupied box in the center of the riding
hall, from which he viewed each event
with the greatest interest and admirs-
ton. He was accompanied by Lieut..
Edward st. j. Greble, U. S. A. With
him was Miss Margaret Wilson, his
eldest daughter.
The presidential party was met at the
of the riding hall by Col. Jo-
seph Gerard, Fifteenth cavalry, the
post commander.
The program included eight features
divided between the cavalry and artil-
ery, each to the music of the Fifteenth
,avalry band.

GOWN SMUGGLERS
COST u. S. MILLIONS
Eight or Nine New York Firms Are
the Duty Evaders--More
Arrests Expected.

Boston, March 3l.-Operations OF
smugplers OF women's gowns at this
port, as a result of which three arrests
already have been made, have defrauded
the government of several millions OF
dollars in the last five years. This def
mite statement, made by local customs
official Saturday, is official confirmation
OF reports that widespread conspiracy
existed within the customs office.
All the firms which profited by the
evasions of import duties are located
in New York City, it was said. Their
number is uncertain, but may be as
many as eight or nine.
The investigation here and in New
York will result, it is expected, in the
arrest of most of the persons involved.
The greater number of these are mem
bers or buyers for dressmaking firms in
New York, although one or two mem bers
of the local customs staff, in addition
to Terence L. Shelvin, who, with his
wife, is already accused, are under sus-
picion. Another arrest probably will be
made here soon.
The custom officials have known for a
y ear that frauds were being perpetrated
here. Some time ago an inspector, Her
mann w. kuchmeister, was placed on
guard at the docks with instructions TO
devote his time exclusively TO watching
the arrivals of dressmakers and their
agents for evidence of Sleeper trunk"
operations. II was Kuchmeister who nm
covered the actual evidence of Snug
Cling.
The arrival here Of Secretary McAdoo
of the treasury. who. according TO ad-
vices from Washington, is spending the
week end "in hiding" from office-seekers,
was looked for Saturday.

BRANDEIS HEARS
FIREMEN'S CASE
Lawyer Suggests Saving on Coal That
Would Pay Wages
Demanded.

New York, March 3l.--The eastern
railroads closed their case and the fire
men put on witnesses in rebuttal yester-
day in the arbitration proceedings over
the firemen's demands for increased pay
and other concessions. Louis d. Bran
deis, the efficiency expert of Boston, was
a spectator during the day. Mr.. Bran
deis said the method pursued to settle
the controversy was wrong.
at would be better" he said, "to
teach the firemen not to waste so much
coal, to educate them 10 conserve their
fuel. To do so would result in a saving
of between s50,000,000 and S60,000,000
annually to the railroads of the country.
Out of that amount then firemen's wages
could be increased and surplus would
be left for the railroads. This way OF
settling the matter is wasteful, for no
one can pass correctly on the masses of
statistics introduced here"
Because of the death of James Me-
rea, former president of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad, no hearing will be held by
the arbitrator to-day.
