The advertising merchant is the
one who does the business in these
days of push and enterprise. There
are more newspaper readers today
than ever before in the history OF the
world. The newspaper places your
business under the eyes of the buyer.
He sees what he wants, and know
ing where to find it, looks up the
wide awake merchant who asked him
to come and see him. Success in
these days Of sharp competition calls
for eternal vigilance. You can't keep

Hints to Housewives

Melted tallow will remove ink
stains.
When coal is red hot it has parted
with most of its heat.
Table napkins and table cloths
should never be starchcd.
Scour enamel ware with plain vine
gar when black and dscolored.
Delicious sandwiches for the after
noon are made of ralsins and nuts
chopped together.
TO remove putty and paint from
windows, use Kerosene oil, then wash
with rain water.
A new broom will last longer if the
strands are tied together and put into
a pail of boiling water and soaked
for two hours. Dry thoroughly for
two hours.
A good dlsnfectant for a sink is to
put two tablespoonfuls of ammonia in
one gallon OF boiling water. Pour
this down the sink.
Marks that have been made on
paint with matches may be removed
by first rubbing the mark with lemon
and washing it afterwards with soap
and water.
To prevent glassware from being
easily broken, put in kettle of cold
water; heat gradually until water has
reached the boiling point. When
cool, take out glass.
TO make rice cakes for an Invalid
wash two teaspooniuls of rice ; put i,
into a quart OF water; cover closely
and cook gently in the oven for about
three hours. Strain, sweeten and
flavor with orange or lemon.
1t is sensible and convenient to
have large pockets IN your apron
when going about putting the house
in order. Pieces OF string or any ont.
of-the-place article can be put in the
pocket and laid away at leisure.
To clean suede shoes, first stuff the
shoes with soft paper; get saucerfu

saturated clean rag; rub until rag be-
comes quite black; then get fresh

To Everyman: Consider the

Greatly hath the Printer wrought for
thy benefit, and for all mankind.
To movable Types thou art debtor
for thy knowledge, thy liberty, and
thy prosperity. Thy greatest human
benefactor is John Gutenberg of
Mainz, in Germany, where four CEN
turies ago his Printing Types first
pierced the gross darkness of ignor-
ance and superstition prevailing
through many preceding cycles of
centuries. The Types of Gutenberg
are now, as ever, the pillars of fire
leading toward universal civilization

moral darkness shall be no more.

Printing giveth thee power to mar

Controlling the Hessian Fly

Inc HeSSlOn flY Is again attract
ing the attention Of wheat grow.
e.'s. especially in the northwest
ern part of the state where in
some sections a large majority
Of tie fields are badly infested.
The pest began its work last fall
on the young wheat and passed
the winter in the base of the
wheat plants in the brown flax
seed stage. With the first warm
day of spring the small mosquito
like flies esbapcd from these win
ter cases and laid eggs for the
first spring brood of maggots.
These maggots are now nearly
mature at the base of the plants.
Badly infested wheat is tvruiI.5
yellow and falling. Between
now and wheat cutting time a
second swa m of flies will ap-
pear to lay eggs for another
another brood of maggots which
VII be full fed and pass the
summer in the stubble in the
fiaXseed stage. From the middle
of August to the last of Sept
ember tre third swarm of flies
will emerge from these summer
cases ready to lay eggs again in
early sown wheat.
At this time little can be done
to control these pests, unless the
field is SO badly infested that it
is advisable to pasture it or ploW
it under and plant corn or some
other crop. In some cases this
may be advisable, but wherever
the wheat is still green and has a
healthy appearance at least a
partial crop will mature and in
such cases it had better be har-
vested. One must use judgment
in deciding what to do with an
infested field at this time.
The Entomology Department
of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture at Columbia will examine
samples of infested Wheat and
offer suggestions as to what had
best be done with such wheat,
One should collect samples at
random and not simply the most
badly infested plants, otherwise
an examination would lead to
wrong conclusions.
Badly infested fields which are
permitted to ripen should be cut
as early Il possible and the wheat
removed from the field. Then
plow the stubble under at once
and work the soil as to complete
~ cover all the stubble. The fly
passes the summer almost entire
ly in the resting stage in the
stubble and if this summer,
brood is plowed under or burned
the pest can be stamped out
Then next fall delay the sowing
of wheat until the first or posi-
bly, the second week in Octobe
so as to escape those flies whicl
manage to pass the summer
All farmers in an infested regiol
should cooperate in this work t
secure the best results. Their
are few pests of field crops whic
can be so simply and so effective
