BAND SHADE TREES
Entomologist at State Agricult-

the Canker Worm.
WARM WEATHER BRINGS PEST
Prof Dean Gives Some Simple and
Practical Methods of Preventing

molegist in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College,
The spring canker WORM has killed
more Kansas apple trees in one sea-
son than the San Jose scale has killed
in its entire history in the state,
while at the same time the worm has
attacked thousands of elm and other
shade trees.
Here are some simple and practi-
cal methods of preventing these
spray shade trees, so Professor Dean
recommends this remedy for shade
trees and advises that it be applied
Immediately.
Take a strip of cotton batting, two
inches wide and long enough to go
around the trees Over this cotton
place a strip of tarred paper or build
ing paper slightly wider than the cot
ton F'asten the paper tightly over
the cotton with four or five tacks- The
cotton is used to prevent the forms
from going under the paper band
Some sticky substance such as
printers ink, coal tar, pine tar, or
dendrolene should be smeared upon
the paper. The best preparation to
use is called tree tanglefoot-

Henry koehn of Galva Invests Money
Given Him by Father for Eduea-
tionat Purposes

The short cut to high finance is the
route taken by Henry Koehn, az un-
sophisticated farmer boy of Galva, in
MCPHERSON county. Last September
Henry's father gave him $3.50 and
some good advice Now, Henry
he said, Here's $3.50 You ought to
get a years education with this Go
to Hutchinson, enroll in the business
college and get a good place to board.
OF course, you can't have any extras
on this, but be good boy, study hard
and write home Often
Last week 20-year-old Henry rolled
into the home barn lot in racing
roadster He was attired in a tailor
made suit and wore diamonds After
he had kissed the members of his fam
ily and they had admired the motor
car he showed dad a fat balance in the
bank
When Henry Koehn came to Hutch
inson last September, he did not en-
roll in the local business college. in
stead he bought wheat A local grain
man whom he knew had told him to
do this the first afternoon he was in
town and Henry thought the advice
was better than fathers
The grain man coached the boy on
how to keep buying and selling, and
the 5000 soon grew to thousand.
Henry reserved $50 for living ex-
penses- The thousand was spread
over wheat deals which brought quick
returns and when the farmers son
sold out, when wheat reached $3.50
there in the local market, his gains
amounted close to $1,000.

WILL REVISE HEALTH WORK
Inspectors in Thirty Districts
Throughout State.

Topeka. = Representative Bardwell
house the bill to revise the health
work of Kansas. 1t provides for the
division of the state into thirty health
districts and the appointment of ex-
perienced health men in each district
to have complete charge of all the
sanitation and disease prevention
work in each district.
An issue of bonds for 100000 for
a medical and health building at the
University of Kansas is authorized in
bill introduced by Senator Wilson
of jefferson county. The bonds all
are to be backed by the twelve hun
dred acres of Kaw bottom land in the
beQuest made by Governor Charles
Robinson to Kansas University.
At the end of twenty-five years the
state would have it's building paid for
from the present income of the land,
and it would still have the land, which
lies north of Lawrence in the valley
of the Kaw river. 1t now brings an
annual income of $1,000 from alfalfa,
which money is devoted to the gen
eral purposes of the university en-
dowment fund. The land was part of
the private estate of the pioneer Kan
sas governor who first picked the
summit of Mount Dread at Lawrence
as the proper site for the states uni
versity.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
traIize Irritating Acids-Spiendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it Is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this Is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine SO it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

START BIG MOVE FOR PEACE
lied at Topeka Meeting = Four
Hundred Delegates Attend.

The Kansas Peace and Equity
League has been organized to promote
peace and the disarmament of the ma
lions of the world. Governor Capper
was chosen president; ]. B. Chapman
TO Atchison, vice president; T. A.
MacNea1 of Topeka, secretary, and
c. L. Davidson of Wichita, treasurer.
About four hundred delegates from
schools, lodges, churches and other
organizations attended the recent con-
ference at Topeka. 1t was called by
Governor Capper and the governor
presided at all of the sessions. 1t was
voted to have the governor ask the
governor of each state to call a SINH
lar meeting and, as soon as the state
societies organized, then a big nation
al convention would be called with
delegates from each state association
to help organize the society that will
extend its peace propaganda into
every civilized nation.
1t is not the purpose of the organ
fzation to urge the nations now at war
to declare peace. 1t is the plan to
spread the propaganda of disarma-
ment and universal peace throughout
the world, get the people in each coun-
try aroused to the point of insisting
that no ruler or group of men can de-
clare war without vote of congress
or even vote of the people, if pos
sible.

VOTES OUT TAX REBATE LAW
Citizens of State Will No Longer Get
Bonus for Paying Their Bills
in December.

Topeka.-The house of representa-
tives at its night session decided to
abolish one of the sacred institutions
of Kansas-the tax rebate. The COT
fin Bill was adopted in the committee
of the whole and will be up for third
reading at once. Instead of the 21a
per cent rebate allowed at present for
paying the June share of the taxes in
December, the bill makes half the
taxes due in Decem Der and the rest in
June and provides a penalty of 1 per
cent month for a taxpayer being de-
linquent upon either installment of his
taxes. The present law was passed in
| the hard times in Kansas in an effort
to get money for municipalities to pay
the bills, but this condition is changed
now and almost everyone pays his
taxes in December to get the rebate,
which has become such burden that
every county must make an extra levy
to pay the rebates.

A proposition for direct tax for
the Kansas state schools has been
introduced in the senate by Senator
Carney. The bill is not a mill tax
proposition as proposed by the alumni
of the school and iii it's present form

uation of a fight every two years for
reasonable appropriations. The reso-
| luton provides for a direct tax for
school purposes, the amount and dis
| tribution to be left to the legislature.
| The only change is that it takes the
school appropriations out of the ordi-
nary state budget.
