A good deal of sickness has
been prevailing among our
chuch members but we are glad
to say that those who were laid
aside are recovering. Mrs. Jenk-
ins, who SO suddenly took i'll after
the reception, has recovered and
Miss Ola Jetfers, who has been
missed at her place at the Piano,
will soon be with us again. Mrs.
Canaday is much better and Mrs.
Beckwith is improving. In this
connection, the Pastor would like
to say that if their are any other
cases Of sickness among his min
istration he whould be obliged if
he could be informed of them.
All the societies in connection
with onr church are active and
fiourishing. The Woman's For
eign Missionary Society and the
Ladies' Aid have had their cleo
ton of officers, and it speaks well
for the efficiency of the old stats
that no change of officers has
been made. The Woman's Home
Missionary Society are fortunate
in having as their new president
Mrs. Alderman. The Cabinet of
the Epworth League met since
these notes were last penned and
planned Tor the work that lies be-
fore our League. Our young
people should attend our League
devotional meeting; they are well
attended and are full of interest
and inspiration.
The Pastor was glad to see last
Sunday the largest congregation
he has faced since coming to
Julesburg. The choir of young
people and the orchestra are do
ing splendid service at the even
ing service. The orchestra we
hope to see soon increased by
some additional Instruments,
Our Sunday School is ON the
boom, as the saying is. And our
Superintendent has the housing
problem before him, give him
little time and he will soon have
us all comfortably settled. A
young married peoples class is,
we hear, desired and Mr.. Dye has
this well i'll hand. Those wishing
to join please communicate with
him. We hope soon to hear that
our Superintendent has made ar
rangemcnts whereby some of our
grow up young people have
found suitable classes in the

How to Rid the Farm
Of the Wild Dat Pest

Several inquiries have come to this
offlce regarding the eradication OF
wild oats. In a general way we would
say rotation of crops, including the
growing of cultivated crops in the
rotation and also the growing of some
tame grasses Or other forage crops
like the cloyers and aifalfas, are es,
sential in the management of q farm
infested with wild oats and by ap-
~pearances they are quite numerous all
up and down the Big Sioux Valley
and over extensive regions of the
northwest where small grains have
formed the major portion of the crops
Wild oats is an annual, it grows
from seed only, but they are more
hardy and vigorous than the cult
waited varieties of grains. They will
retain their vitality for several years,
the length Of time depending Of course
upon the moisture content Of the soil.
Remedy.
Sow clean seed grain. Surface cu!-
tivation ester harvest starts a large
number of seeds to terminate, which
will be killed by the frosts or turned
under later BY the ploW This is
why it is important to have the disc
follow as close behind the binder as
possible. Would be a good plan to
have the disc hitched right behind

was a worlds fair of ten thousand

point OF size that taxes the railroads
to their utmost. 1t covers fourteen
acres OF ground. $
The organization of this year num-
bers 1880 people, TOO horses, forty
elephants, thirty camels and 1900
wild and semi-domestic animals. It
travels on a train exactly SIPS feet
in length. This is over one mile. The
train has to be handled in five sec
tions. The circus performance is in
troduced by a and costly spec
tacle. The 1913 acts that follow be-
gin a new era in circus ideas.

News from Various
Parts of the State

At Lennox, in the southern part Of
the state, the residents celebrate an
annual sauerkraut day and this year
the time has been extended to two
days. Whether the extension was due
to the inability of the residents to
eat enough sauerkraut in one day
or an overproduction of the crop is
not stated.
Mrs. S. B. Motif of DeSmet, lies
in a serious condition as a result Of
an electric shock that she received
yesterday forenoon. Mrs. Molz was
returning from down town and was
on the crossing near the M. E. church,
when lightning struck the big tree
at the corner within a few feet Of
her. The shock was so great as to
,paralyze her whole left sidel She
was carried into DR.. Dyar's home and

removed or even between the rows

The land that you intend to plant
your corn on next year will be in q
whole lot better shape to grow a
! good corn crop IL you double disc it
this fall; start all the wild oats pos.

then plow it good and deep n CON

crop is made and you will have gone
a long way towards eradicating a

menace to the farmers OF our state.
Fields sown down and used for pas
then the oats will be cut before it
riDens IL any of it should appear.
The remedies recommended are
these: Sow clean seed, rotate the
crops, and keep the wild oats from
going to seed and it will be only a
question of time until the wild oats
have been banished from the land.
One farmer cannot DC 4; Il will take
the concerted action Of the many TO
make the eradication complete.
How about the acreage of winter
rye. Right in this connection we will
say that it would be a wise plan TO
SOW some rye this fall on some OF

This circus is over fifty years old.
1t was founded by P. r. Barnum, the
father OF modern advertising and big
circus ideas. Barnum was born 100
years ago. He was over a century
ahead of his time 1t was his bril-

cue possible. He found the circus a
d~isorganized institution, operated
without system, intelligence and not
a great deal Of integrity. He lifted
it up into the fine arts. He estabS
