HOOPERDOZER WILL RELIEVE
YOUR FARM OF GRASSHOPPERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26.-
If you have nice level farm thickly
infested with grasshoppers what you
need is hooperdozer. This is an in
expensive, durable, reconstructed
contrivance, filled with water and
kerosene, which may be run through
the infested alfalfa or clever field. As
the hooperdozen is drawn over the
ground by horsepower the locusts
jump into the kerosene and are killed.
The only place where the hooper
dozer will prove more or less imprac-
teal is on rocky land or on land not
yet cleared of stumps.
The hooperdozer is constructed Of
sheet iron, preferably galvanized, Of
reasonable thickness to insure
strength, and, except for the end
pieces, made of single sheet 10 or
IL feet long and 26 inches in width.
The front is formed by turning up
the edge couple of inches and the
back may be. turned up a foot, thus
making shallow pan one foot wide,
with the back the same height and
with front 2 inches high.
Ends are riveted in and soldered.
Runners of old wagon tire are placed
at each end, and another in the CEN
ter is turned over in the front and
back to strengthen the pan at these
points. These runners are riveted Ia
the pan and should extend both back
ward and forward, in order to over
come to some extent the inequalities
of the ground and cause the hooper
dozer to run more smoothly. The par
is filled with water. on which Is pour.
ed enough kerosene to cover it with q
film, the horse is hitched to the end
runners and the outfit IL ready FOL

INTERNATIONAL SOIL

United Press.
DENVER, May 26.-The war is not
interfering with arrangements for the
International Soil Products exposition
and the International Dry Farming
congress to be held in this city from
September 27 to October 8, inclusive.
From present plans it appears that
the local exposition will vie with the
fairs in California at least in agricul-
tural interest.
The United States government will
have the most comprehensive display
of it's agricultural work that it has
ever made at any exposition. Several
of the neutral nations have indicated
their intention of being represented
and the Farming congress officials
have sent representatives to the bel
ligerents to obtain exhibits.
The great Auditorium building
here, made famous by William Jen-
nings Bryan's "cross of gold" oration
and his first nomination for the presi-
dency, will be the headquarters of the
Farming congress and Soil Products
exposition. A half dozen temporary
structures will be erected on streets
and property in the immediate vicin-
ity of the Auditorium. Every west
ern state will be represented at this
exposition.

The administration was distinctly
shocked over the Nebraskan incident.
1t suggests that not only has subma-
rining not been stopped but that It
involves an attack on a ship home
ward bound flying the American flag
SO there could not be any claim of
carrying contraband for the enemy.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan received the news with obvi-
Gus concern. There was noticeable
relief when the word came there were
no casualties. They ordered Ambas-
sador Page at London to cable in
formation. The fact they cabled in
stead of using the mails indicates
that no time will be lost in demand

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF
n. Y. METAL MARKET

COPPER-Copper was very dull
and quotations are based rather on
prices asked than on sales right
through the week. This lul in the
market, natural enough under the cir
cumstanees, is rather tending to
weaken the feeling Of confidence and
there are more Of the producers com
peting for business than week ago.
However, the copper producers have
no reason to be concerned over the
immediate outlook or to be otherwise
than satisfied with the prices they are
now enjoying.
LEAD-The lead market continues
dull, prices remaining the same.
SPELTER-A moderate business
was done during the early part of
the week, when large contract that
had been under negotiation for sew
eral days was consummated, On May
18th quite extraord rdinary business
was done, both as to tonnage and as
to price, the transactions amounting
to some thousands Of tons at the high.

Jones was a member of the sur

Wisconsin was made a state in 184s
the Wisconsin-Illinois boundary was

If Jones is right, South Beloit
