'REM0vE WEEDS FROM GARDEN
'Ptants Rob Crops OF. Food and Moisture
n -Harbor Injurious Insects and
'~F Encourage Disease.

0y ~. g. GARDNER, Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.)
If the weeds have fiourished In your
garden, or In parts of 1t, NOW them
down. now. If they have not gone to
seed, they can be plowed under later
10 help out the stable manure you ap-
ply, but If they have, they should be
removed from the garden and thrown
On the compost heap; composing kills
weed seed.
Weeds are expensive things to have
IN gardens or anywhere else; they rob
garden crops Of food and moisture,
many Of them are natural food for all
Kinds Of insects, which, when they
have devoured the choice parts of
weeds, attack adjacent garden crops.
Weeds may also support plant dis
eases that would otherwise die and
they induce mildews and rusts by re-
ducing air and sunlight around the
gnrden plants. These weeds are now
going to seed, and winter winds will
bar that seed out, and the chances for
. heavy stand Of weeds next spring
vii be quite good.
Other good things to remove now,
and as the later crops mature, are
the crop remnants, especially IL there
has been disease or insect infection.
Dead stalks are wintering-over places
For diseases and insects.
Stalks removed had best be burned,
enough If compost pile is made, the
msect-infested stalks may be burned
On IT. Disease spores survive the COM
posting temperature; burning is safest.

TO the Blackberry.

The dewberry does best in a dry cli-
mate when mulched with old hay or
straw. This berry spreads like the
strawberry by roofing down at the
joint and the mulching prevents too
many plants starting.
Many persons prefer the dewberry
to the blackberry.

 STOMACH SUFFERERS
Saws Indigestion comes from an excess of hydrochloric
 acid.

well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion IS nearly always due to acidity-acid live, from a lack of digestive juices he states that an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta- ton, then our meals sour like gar bage in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inf1ate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn, fatulence, water braSh, or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all diges- tive aids and instead. get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast while 1t is effervescing, and furthermore, to con- tinue this for one week. While re- lief follows the first dose, it Is i'm portant to neutralize the acidity, re- move the as-making mass start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and Is made from the acid of grapes and 1omon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent re- suits.

"Who is back of Villa in your op'n- ion in the carrying out of this border warfare?" Manuel Calero, formc' Mexican ambassador to the United States and former Mexican minister of foreign affairs, was asked. He re- piled: "I doubt if he has any back ng of any kind beyond his own savage desire for what he considers the treat ment accorded him by the govern ment that until a few months ago he considered his friend It is all, in my opinion, the rage of d desperado, madman if you wish. You must re- member that until about six months ago Villa considered himself the pet of the U. $. A. And then all of a sudden Villa was kicked out of his high place and once more found himself what he really is, just a murderous bandit, who ought to be destroyed"

Gross Earnings of Company h. creased Over S1S,9Oo,oO0 in Year

New York, March 13.-An increase of more than $13,900,00 in the gross earnings of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company last year over 1914 is shown by the annual report of President Theodore N. Vail, made public today. The total gross receipts of the company, not includ- ing the connecting independent com panies, last year was $239,90O, 900.
 The company's net earnings were $41, 487, and the dividends amounted to $29,100,591.
 The Bell system, President Vail re- ports, now connects 9,151,221 tele- phones, a gain of half million sta tions in a year. It is estimated that 57,O00,0OO will be spent in new con- struction this year. This company added 1,O29,951 miles to its system during last year. making a total of IS, S,505, 545 miles. M
 Get Supplies at Home.
 An interesting feature of the report is that substitutes for supplies used by the company which previously were obtained abroad, have been pro- NluSd US lnC eISlHSSllh uSpdl liiClil. The most important of these was in sulating paper for the cables, manu- factured from special material ob tained abroad A new kind of paper for the cables of which 2,000,000 miles is used annually, was provided and new sources were found for chemicals used in batteries and for the fine hair-li]le iron used in loading coils.
 The report declares that the en- gineering department has done jim portant and confidentiaI work with representatives of the army and navy to work out a system of communica- tion "unequalled by any other na- tion,'' in connection with national de- fense plans. It is also pointed out that it is now possible for any sub scriber to talk with any other sub- scriber throughout the system regard less of distance.
 Regarding the suggestion of public ownership, President Vail declares there is little liklihOod of this a. long as the present policies are followed

November Crop Report.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 1.-The reports received by the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture, show that the month of October has not improved the former poor crop outlook. The late crops have now mostly matured and are largely harvested. The great staple, corn, which last month prom ised a crop slightly under the five year acreage, it is estimated, has fallen off 75,000,0 900 bushels. The potato crop, known last month to be short, IS yielding 12,000,O0O bushels less than was then expected, being only about four-fifths of an average crop.
 Buckwheat, thought two months ago to promise an average crop and still indicating last month fair out turn, now shows the result of little more than two-thirds Of a crop. The production of beans is the lowest for several years, even less than the small crop of last year. Sweet potatoes are yielding about as anticipated, being a good crop. The apple production is considerably below that of last year. The crop of sugar beets is larger than last year and the sugar content hlgner than usual, though not quite so high as last year. Sugar cane in Lou1slana and Texas is an exceptionally me arop, one of the best of record, and will give a heavy yield. These sugar crops, however, furnish at best only a a,:faor part of the country's supply. The tobacco crop is the largest of record, and of a superior quality.

This tendency was soon overcome, however, in the higher prices registered by Mexican Petroleum, Republic Iron, New York Airbrake, U. s. and Lackawanna Steels and motors, Maxwell gaining over three points. Most losses were more than retrieved by the end of the first half hour.

Some Things In Iceland.

Iceland is far from being a dreary waste, for it exports large quantities of the finest grade of wool in the world, besides quantities of hides. sheepskins, feathers, oil, fish and fish products and, curiously enough, many horses. The island has several natu- ral resources that have never been de veloped, among them great sulphur de posits. One of them contains not less than 25OOOO tons of practically pure sulphur. There are extensive deposits of copper ore. This, while of O low grade, could be worked at a huge profit, since the water power is un- limited and always at hand wherever the copper is found. There are also large deposits of geyserite, which is equal to the best Arkansas honestone. In addition there are several sections rich in agates and chalcedony, which are widely used in making jewels for the bearings of watches and electrical instruments. None of them has ever been worked.

The turkey should then be placed in dish with a couple of hares to fill up the crevices and six pounds of fresh butter, GOV cred and cooked.
