FIGHTING THE
CHINCH BUG
Farmers Out at Cant Carrying Out
The Roundup Spirit Community
Meetings Being Held.

Farmer Rusk hands the Mes
sage the following interview:
Mexico, Mo-, Nov. 16, 1914.
The Roundup, a truly coop
erative institution, has been es-
tablished in Audrain county. If
it has been good for us, let us
make it permanent, and let us
foster its splendid spirit of edu-
cation and cooperation. We
can apply this fine spirit every
day to our every day work.
l am going to tell how this
Roundup Spirit" has taken
hold of the farmers of Wilson
Township, and how the South
Wilson Township Farm Bureau
is utilizing this principle in
waging warfare on chinch bugs.
Chinch bugs are Literally thick
in many sections of the county
Unless steps are taken to eradi-
cate them they will do a vast
amount of damage next year il
the seasonal conditions are at all
favorable to their development
Many men did their best to head
them off this summer but
in most cases the bugs got the
best of the fight. Weather con
ditions were particularly favor
able to all sorts Of crop pests
and methods of control, which
are usually successful, proved in
efficient this summer.
We still have one chance t
swat the chinch bug and it is t,
be hoped that the farmers il
the infested sections will avail
themselves of this opportunity
We can't afford not to do this
Wheat will be a very valuable
crop if present prospects signif.
the truth. No more can we at
ford to sacrifice corn to thes
greedy pests. In parts of tn
county this summer these chincl
bugs cut the corn crop fully a
much as the drought.
Early this winter is the tim
TO do this fighting. Any time nov
when the dead grass and weed
are dry and the wind is not to,
high, fire should be set to TIL,
grass and weeds in waste places
fence rows or wherever the bug
are fund to be alternating. /
these winter quarters are burned
close to the ground, large mum
bers of the bugs will be burned
and others will be winterkilleC

SALTS IF BACkACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for d While if your Bladder
troubles you.

When YOU wake up with haCkaChe
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overwOrkS the kidneys in their effort
to filter il from the blood and they be
come sort of paralXzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog YOU must relieve them, like YOU
relieve your bowels: removing all the
body's urinOus waste. el9n YOU have
backache, sick headache. dizzy spells:
your stomach sOurs, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad YOU have
rheumatic tWingeS. The urine Is
cloudy. full Of sediment, channels often
get sore, water SCalds and YOU are
obliged TO seek relief two or three
times during the night
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your nhar-
macist about four ounces Of Jad Salts
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
bined with lithia and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutraliZe
acids in the urine so it no longer if,
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness
lad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot

BATTLE EXPECTED
ON DITCH MATTER

Land Owners.

An extended legal battle is expected
to ensue beginning with the hearing
of the remonstrance against the grant

Attorneys for the petitioners con
tend that only persons named in the
original petition are legally qualified

ing of the ditch. while those who have
charge Of the interests OF the remon-
stratOrS declare there are a number OF
interested parties who are not blamed
in the petition itself This will be
the first point to be threshed out.
Ditch Miles Long.
Before the remOnstrance was Circu-
lated number of farmers living near
the middle OF the ditch, which is over
five miles long. offered to permit the
granting Of ditch without filing a re
monstrance providing they were eX
cused from all assessment. They dc
clared they would receive no benefit
from the ditch. The ditch, at the
point where it becomes an open water
way and near its mouth, flows through
marShy territory. Farmers in these
sections need it badly while the others
do not. These petitioners. however
refused to excuse the others from
standing an assessment and the re
mOnStrance resulted
The demonstrators say that giving
the petitioners the benefit of every
doubtful signature they still have
eight more than the two-thirds neces
sary to prevent the granting of the
ditch. The petitioners hope to secure
enough Withdrawals from the remon

In the original petition. a sewer to
the town Of Losantsville in Randolph

MUST APPROPRIATE
$4,000 FOR PLANT

Because the city light plant did not
spend the $4,000 appropriated to meet
additional expenses in connection with
the addition, which is almost complet-
ed, before the end of 1913, council
will have to Inappropriate the sum.
Superintendent Johnson learned this
today when he presented some con
tractors bills to be approved by the
board of public works.
The special ordinance which was
passed by council at recent session
provided for an appropriation OF 3d.
600, the appropriation to expire Dec
81. Part of the money was checked out
at once, but the remainder can not
now be used until it has been apprOpri-
ated for 1914 by the new council.
