The Yaeser Cut.

Last Tuesday afternoon Vic Ely

Engineer, took Judge Chas. 7.
Weaver, Joe Menefee and Joe Bur
nett out to see the work on Yea
gers Cut about half a mile this side
of Spencer Greek bridge, between
this city and frankfort. For many
years a seven-foot road full of rock
has marked the place. 1t has been
a nightmare to travellers. Mr.. Ely
through the County Court. took
charge of the grade and then tack
led the rocky cut. He has shaved
it down from the top of the hill
making an easy grade, and then
tackled the rocky sides of the road
with dynamite. blowing ont the
powders and hauling them away.
He is advancing now upon a rocky
spur that will soon open the way
for a smooth thirty-foot road When
completed the last piece of bad
road from New London to St. Louis
will be removed. While on the
ground Tuesday. a dynamite blast
was sent off, tearing away a ledge
of rock and making an opening for
the road. Future generations will
sing the praises Of the County Court
and MIR. Ely when thew pass that
way. Mr.. Ely has certainly given
his best attention to the work

He Had the Cash.

A recent dispatch from Colorado
Springs. Colo, had the following
item:
Because he wearied of the usual
and conventional form of travelling
on a passenger train, EOu Major
who says he is a nephew of Gov
ernor Major of Missouri, landed in
the police station here this week.
He came to town in a box car with
a party of hobos. and was arrested
with them in the railroad yards.
AS he ha6 $65 in cash and a valua-
able diamond he quickly convinced
the police he was not a tramp.
Young Major was on his way to the
San Francisco fair. At Denver he
tired of his usual mode Of travel
and joined the hobos for the sake
of novelty. After some kindly ad.
vice by the chief of police. he con-
tinued on his journey in a regular
instead of a side door" Pullman.

HOW TO CURE H /

and the grippe left me not only with q
chronic cough, but ! was rundown,
worn out and weak. / took all kinds Of
cough syrups but they did me no good.
finally got 30 weak / was not able to
do day 8 work, and coughed SO much j
was alarmed about my condition. One
evening l read about Vinol and decided
TO try It. Before 1 had taken quarter
of a bottle felt better, and after taking
two bottles my cough is entirely cured,
all the bad symptoms have disappeared
and have gained new vim and energy. !"
JOHN L. DENNIS, I'll Lynch Street,
jackson, Miss.
The reason Vinol is 80 successful In
such cases is because the active medic.
inal principles of cod liver oil contained
in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and
supplies strength andvigor to the nerves
and muscles while the tonic iron anc
wine assist the red corpuscles of the
blood to absorb oxygen and distribute
it through the system, thus restoring
health and strength to the weakened,
diseased organs Of the body.
If Vinol fails to help you, we return

Corn Where Chinch Bugs Are
Present Keep Such Fields
Closely Cropped BY Pasturine
and Plant Cowpeas. I
Washington. d. C, In local areas
of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and
Nebraska, the Hessian fly, during
the past fortnight, has been found
in large numbers in the wheat fields.
according to reports received by the
entomologists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Some
farmers in southern Kansas and
Oklahoma have become alarmed to
the extent of replanting their fields
to corn Whether the wheat is in
tested to adegree to warrant aband-
onment is difficult to judge. How
ever, it has been the experience OF
many farmers that sometimes
wheat which has apparently been
killed by the Hessian fly will refill
er, or few tillers which are not
infested will develop into especially
large heads and yield s. 10 or per-
haps 20 bushels of wheat. For
this reason the farmer should be
very careful about blowing under
his crops, especially at this early
date. If the crop continues to fail
to show progress for another 10
days, then it will be time to plant
kafir or corn, but only provided the
field is comparatively free from
chinch bugs.
The experience of farmers in
certain localities where wheat has
been killed in other years by the
Hessian fly or freezes, and replant-
ed to corn. is. that such corn was
often destroyed by chinch bugs.
Therefore, if the farmer thinks his
wheat will not be worth harvesting
and desires to replant it to corn or
kafir, he should investigate very
carefully to learn to what extent
the field is infested with chinch
bugs. If chinch bugs are not pres
ent in large numbers and the field
is planted in corn. care must be
taken that all of the wheat plants
are killed in order to destroy the
Hessian fly that are on these plants
The best method for handling q
| field previously destroyed by the
fly appears to be that of pasturine
closely, and then blowing under the
stubble. However. the plan of crop
rotation may be such as to make it
morn feasible to plow under the
heavily infested wheat for green
manure, preparing the field for seed
ing this fall,
Another method of meeting the
situation is to pillow under the in
tested wheat and plant the field t.
cowpeas.
Now is the time for farmers t.
clean up the Hessian fly, Aftel
organization all stubble should b.
; burned and plowed under before thu
middle of July. and all volunteer
wheat narrowed out. Wheat may
then be sowed again this fall afte
the fiy-free-date.

action was the dismissal by Mrs

on her complaint on a charge ow being
a disorderly person.

other things cropped out, particularly
the incident which caused the selection
by the servants OF the song about the
cows and chickens.

revenge. Mrs. Tatum disposed Of 400
eggs which had been intended for the
incubators.
Mrs. Tatum declares Trousant carried
tales to her husband, and endeavored
to secure aff1davits for him from the
other servants. For that reason she
dismissed him, and when he refused
to go had him arrested.
