JOHNSON GRASS A WEED.
Pest Should Be Destroyed During the
Summer and Fall.

Kansas farmers who planted oats
containing johnson grass, an unde
sirable weed, should destroy the pest
this summer or In the fall, according
to G.. L. Thompson, specialist in crops,
division Of extension. Kansas State
Agricultural college.
Definite records show that 10000
bushels OF oats containing johnson
grass seed were planted I'm the state
last spring" says Mr. Thompson.
johnson grass is weed pest be
cause Of the large underground root
stalks which cause the plant to spread
rapidly and enable 1t to live over from
year TO year. Yet It is hard to get
and maintain n stand sufficiently good
to make n satisfactory meadow, and In
Kansas johnson grass is worth but 1T.
tie for pasture. The large punches or
clumps Of Johnson grass as they ap-
pear in the fields interfere with cult

sap moisture and plant food from the
cultivated crop and are a nuisance at
harvest time.
IF during the early and mid part Of
summer the johnson grass can he kept
short enough 10 keep the plants in n
weak condition comparatively few root
stalks that penetrate deep into the
ground will he formed An oat or a
wheat crop serves this purpose quite
we'll When the johnson grass Is In
this weakened condition, blowing in
July or early August will further
weaken the plants and Will entirely
kill many of them. IL the ground
then IS given clean cultivation until
fall nearly all of the grass that is not
killed by the cultivation will freeze out
during the winter. In case n good deal
of the grass shows up after this mid
summer blowing II may be advisable

pose the roots TO freezing"

COMPLIED WITH
ORDER OF COURT
So State Latah County
Commissioners, Cited for
Contempt.

County Commissioners Woody, Lyon
and Mcintyre of Latah county cited to
appear before the supreme court Mon
day and show cause why they should
not be held in contempt of court, declare
they have shown no contempt and that
they acted in all matters on the advice
of the county attorney. In their de-
Tense they say they complied with the
courts order in the matter of the gen.
eral county road levy.
In the figures given out by the com
missoners it is shown that the total
revenue available for road and bridge
purposes in 1915 was $59,77S, and that
this amount included the $29 1853 raised
by special road district levies This
year they made up a budget calling foi
$4,000 for general county road pur-
poses and $4,000 for bridges. With the
balance on hand at the beginning Of
the year, the funds received from motor
vehicle licenses and sundries added to
the mill and half levy on the $20,000.-
900 property valuation. they planned
to raise $4,000. and by a 40 mill levy
to raise an additional $4,000 for
bridges, making $5S.300 in all. or prac-
tically the amount available all told
last year. and this without taking into
account dollar raised by the special
road district levies
The commissioners further insist that
the peremptory writ of mandate secur-
ed from the state supreme court by
the Potlatch Lumber company and
served to them September Is, was only
two days before they were compelled by
law to make the road district levies
that this did not give them time to
have the districts petition for new
levies; and that they were compelled
to make the levies originally planned
or cut out district levies altogether.
and they had no reason to believe that
the supreme court was wholly opposed
to road district levies.

appear in court as commanded

Special Correspondence Of The Star. !
NEW YORK. October 3.-There is sd
much bullion used in the gowns this year
that one can readily see part of the ex-
cuse for the high prices demanded for all
French costumery.
Our own weaving has, not arrived at
such distinction and authority that we
can turn out the metal embroidered cloths
and brocades to which the French have
given the study Of their lives. 1t is
not possible to go anywhere among
American importers today without being
party to the discussion over the prices
of all these fabrics-a discussion which
includes ways and means Of avoiding
the richest Of these materials and re-
placing them with palmer. less expensive
weaves.
Take, for example. a gown Of Worth
black velvet and a brocade which has
exaggerated silver flowers printed on 1t.
Now, the original OF this gown calls for
this brocade used in bayadere fashion
across the sides of the black satin skirt.
but the American importers had to prac-
tice some economy somewhere in France
last summer, so many Of them persuaded
Worth to make up the gown in plain
fabric, with the brocade used only as a
folded girdle. Something of the sumptu-
BUSINESS Is lost, but none Of the beauty.
Aglitter With Metal Threads.
There are brocades used for evening
gowns which surely have never been
excelled since the Italian fourteenth CEN
tury, and if woman wants to wear such
splendid fabrics she must pay the price.
Twenty-Five dollars a yard is the aver
age price asked for such brocade, and the
gowns which are made OF 1t from $40O
to $3.50.
The most sumptuous Of these robes
will be worn in her new play by Elsie
Ferguson. 1t is gown by BulloZ, Of
cloth Of gold brocade dropped in two
straight panels over the front and back
of the figure, pinched together at a low
waist line. There are 240 inches Of su-
perb medieval gold lace used as a dra-
perry to give the fourteenth century ef-
feet. This extends across the back over
the full length of the arms and goes
around the figure above the knees. to fall
in the back over a shapeiy pointed train
Of the cloth of gold.
Jeanne Lanvin uses cloth OF silver and
cloth of gold with underlights of mauve,
green and crimson in her evening gowns.
One, which she calls Rose de Negre, might
have been worn by a slady-in waiting of
the fourteenth century at some great
court, as Miss Ferguson's gown might
have been worn by Queen Guinevere her
self.
Lanvin's gown drops from high decol-
letage that goes straight across the fig
ure to a cloth of silver girdle wound

Stuffed Green Peppers.

or late years very tempting item
on restaurant and hotel bills of fare
has been stuffed sweet green peppers.
We take 1t for granted, Of course, when
we read stuffed peppers on a menu
that they are sweet. But when they
are prepared at home we must be espe-
cially careful that they are sweet be-
fore stufffng them. .,.....
Peppers can be stuffed with almost
any leftover from the table In the
form of meat or vegetable. When u.s.
ing meat, allow twice as much bread
crumbs. fine and brown. as there is
meat. Add a little chopped tomato
and onion juice. a liberal amount of
butter and pepper and salt to taste
Add water. gravy or stock to moisten
little. Parboit-the peppers till ten
der in salted water. fill with the filing
and bake about twenty minutes.
Always parboil peppers till tender
before stuff1ng. Nuts can be used for
the filling in this way. Use a cupfuI of
half a cupful of fine breadorumbs. Add
cream or melted butter to make a soft
paste and season with plenty of salt
and pepper. Bake twenty minutes.
Sausage meat makes an admirable,
though rich, stuffing for peppers. Mix
it with an equal measure of fine bread
crumbs. moisten with cream and bake
in the usual manner.
Peppers au gratin are delicious To
prepare them, parboil them and rub off
the skins with cloth. Then stuff with
bread crumbs mixed with grated
cheese, moistened with cream and sea-
soned with pepper and salt. Place in
a baking dish and brown. 2
Rice and nuts mixed together form a
good stufhng for peppers So do cooked
rice and minced ham or sausage meat.
Use twice as much rice as nuts or ham
Chopped cold tongue and crumbs,
seasoned with pepper and salt and lib
orally motstened with melted butter, is
a delicious filling for green peppers.
Corn cut from the cob, moistened
with milk and mixed with bread crumbs
or canned corn and bread crumbs
mixed, forms an admirable filling for
stuffed peppers. -
