Spraying Peaches a I'd Plury
r. W. HARMED

lIuiC becomes WOrnV and rOttao.
The worms" are the young Of
tne Plum CurcuIio and the rottor
trult is caused by the growth Of
a tungous disease known as
brown rot". These two serious
pests can be controlled to a
large extent by careful spraying.
Sometimes ten times as many
merchantable peaches can be
gathered from sprayed trees as
IRON similar trees nearby that
are left unsprayed.
The most efficient method now
known to control brown rot and
plum curculio is to spray with
seIt-boiled Iime-sulphur mixture
and arsenate Of lead. The arse
Late OF lead is to destroy t g
furcullos and the lime-sulphur
mixture destroys the spores of
the broWn-rot. By c0mbinipg
these substances two birds c; n
be killed with one stone" and
much time and labor saved.
~
Preparation of self-boiled lime
sulphur mixture. Eight pouncs
OF the best fresh stone lime
should be placed in a barrel and
water enough added to cover it.
AS soon as the lime begins to
slake eight pounds of SULPHUR.
that has been run through a
sieve to break up all humps,
should be slowly added. The
mixture should be stirred con-
stantly while the powdered sui
phur is being added, and also
While more water is being added
to keep the mixture in the form
of a thick paste. This should
gradually be made into a thin
paste. The lime will supply
heat enough to boil the mixture
for severalminutes Care should
lie exercised not to allow the
the mixture to boil after all
lLmps Of lime have slaked down.
When the lime and sulphur have
become thoroughly mixed cold
water should be added to pre-
vent further cooking. The mix. !
ture is now ready to be strained
thru a sieve Of twenty meshes
to the inch into the spray TANK.
Water enough being added to q
make fifty gallons. The mixture v
must be aQitated lantly

County Gets $11,O72 as Auto Tax
Money This Year.

County treasurer Elba Shewmak-
er has received the second INSTALL
ment of the automobile license tax
money due Decatur county, the.
draft being for $4,320. Earlier in
the year he received the first INSTALL
ment Of $6,752, making the total ra>
ceived this year $11,O72, as against,
$7.802.88 last year, an increase OF
$3,269.12.
All the license tax money collect
ed for automobiles from August 1st
for the rest of this year will go into
the distribution to counties next
spring. -,
Treasurer Shewmaker is working
out the amount of money to be paid
to each of the incorporated towns of
the county from this fund, the basis
Of the distribution being the mileage;
of unpaved streets in the towns, but
the law provides that not more
than ten per cent of the total
amount received from the state shall.
be distributed among the towns.
This is the first time that the towns
will receive any of the auto tax mon
ey, the law which provides for 1t.
having gone into effect July 4th.

Is 1t Fair?

Every year the Leon school board,
as we'll as the school board in a good.
many other Iowa towns, find them
selves up against hard proposition
after having elected and contracted
with their corps of teachers for the.
coming year, when a week or so be-
fore school opens one or more teach,
ers will notify them that they will
not be on hand at the opening OF
school, having accepted another po-
sition. Is this fair? We don't be-
lieve it is. Having made application
for the position, the teacher signs q
contract to teach and they expect to
hold the board to their contract and
rely upon having the position. But
they seem to think it is alright for
them to jump their contract and
leave the board with vacancy to
fill after most of the good teachers
have secured .pos.lt,2ns. and the result
is that the board has to take about
anyone they can get A contract
should be equally binding on the
board and the teacher, and there
should be some way devised to hold
a teacher who has contracted to
teach, just as professional base
ball player who contracts to play
with a certain team must play with
that team, no other team being al.
lowed to hire him.

RUBE MILLER is SOME CIRCUS
CLOWN.
He Makes His Hit by His Joshes with
CrOWd-See Him ut Leon ON
Tuesday, August Gath.

Rubc Miller is the producing clown;
of the Barton & Bailey's World Gel
ebrated Shows, which shows at Leon
afternoon and night Tuesday, Aug
ust Gath. Rube certainly has his
troubles and his enjoyments, tco.
When the parade comes along tha>
streets at noon, Tuesday, August "a,
you will sec Rube seated on a little.
burro right behind the first band
wagon. This is where Rube has his
happiness.
He is a. big, long, lank Yankee,
and naturally the crowd always kids
Rube for riding this little animal.
But when it comes to joshing Rube,
Is ace high ct that. One of the re-
cent towns which tho show played
had enough children in it to make
Teddy Roosevelt think that race sui
eide had totally been exeinguished.
Every man OF the line of parade was
holding g baby, One greet big fell
low, with baby in his arms, cracked
at kubs when he saw him riding by:
"Say, why don't you get off and car
~ the little mule?" Rube shot right
bac:-, Il see that you are holding
your own The native replied,
Eyes, but where is yours?" Rube,
said he was sitting on his.
Just about that timc the little
burro commenced to bray and Ruhe
Immediately pulled ont nursing
bottle and the burro, trained to the
inmate, quickly grasped the bottle
and imbibed it's contents. Then Rubo
shouted back at the resident, "Say,
bet that am more thoughtful than
you are. You forgot to bring your
bott-a, but always carry m:le."
All Rube got from the spectators
was silence

Judge MAXWELL has passed upon
the motion of defendants for a new
trial;in the case OF Marion Woodland,
administrator, VS.. Herald Publish
ing Co., ct al, which was tried at
the March term of the district court,
in which plaintiff brought suit for
$1O,pOU damages for the death of
w. Nv. Johnson who was killed by
taking hold Of an electric light wire
at the ice plant at Lamont owned by
the Herald Publishing Co., in which
the Jury returned verdict against
defendants in the sum of $1,000.
The !court overrules the motion for a
new trial but also rules that the
plaintiff must submit to reduction
of damages from $1,000 to $4,000
within ten days or new trial will
I be granted, saying in the opinion
that the deceased was common
laborer, 48 years of age, and that his
natural expectancy of life would
have been % years, and regards the
verdict of the jury as excessive in
amount. The plaintiff has ten days
from the filing of the opinion in
which to accept or reject the cut
of $4,000, and in case he refuses to
accept the cut, then the defendants
will be granted a new trial. 1t is
probable that the plaintiff will ac-
| cept, but we understand the defend
ant will appeal the case to the su-
preme court.
