CANADA THISTLE PEST
PriGkly Plant Is Found in Almost
 Every Part of Country.
No Other Weed Has Ever Received So Much unfavorabIe Attention. Roots, Rather Than Tops,
 Must Be Destroyed.

In the states north of the Ohio river, probably no plant bears such q bad reputation as does the so-called Canada thistle. This marvelously prickly plant abounds in grain fields, pastures, and meadows throughout the central West, and is locally common in the northeastern states. It is found in parts of West Virginia, Ken lucky, and Missouri, and of late years has been increasingly troublesome in the grain growing sections of the Northwest Canada thistle, or simply "thistle," has been condemned in the laws of 25 states, and at least one hundred local communities, no other three plants together having received so much unfavorable attention. Ger tainly no plant is more generally and heartily disliked unless it be the sand bur of the southern coastal plain.
 The cause of the remarkable vital- ity of Canada thistle and the point that distinguishes it from other prick ly plants that are commonly mistaken for it is the long cordlike perennial root. This root penetrates the soil at

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local reme- dies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incur- able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore re- quires constitutional treatment. HalPs Catarrh Cure. manufactured by F. J.

depth of eight to fifteen inches, or more, and gives rise at frequent in tervals to leafy shoots. Thus 1t will often be found that an entire patch of thistles is attached to one root, and is in reality but one plant. The root is exceedingly hardy, and can live over winter or through a prolonged drought in a dormant condition. Pieces of the root that are broken off by a blow or cultivator and carried to other places will await a warm, moist period, and then begin to send up leafy shoots, thus establishing new patch forthwith. If the leafy stems are cut down, others will be sent up to take their place, and this process may be repeated from two to eight times before the root becomes ex- hausted,

The point that must be kept in mind in fighting Canada thistles is that it is the roots, rather than the tops, that must be killed. Simply cutting off the tops a few times has much the same effect as pruning an apple tree. But if the tops are cut off deep and frequently, the root must eventually suffocate through lack of leaves.

old TIME FEUD
TO Be FOUGHT OUT

A feud which has extended over a
period of two years will be fought
out thursday afternoon on the local
ball grounds.
Two years ago the Stapley Hard
ware Co, took the scalps of the Lee
suer Grocery Co. base ball team. One
year later the Lesueurs didn't do a
thing to the Stapleys but slaughter
them numerically Since that time
both teams have been straining at
the leash. The first Thursday af-
ternoon of the closing of the stores
has been the occasion of former con-
flicts and now the fateful day will
be Thursday, June Is at 3 p. m. For
some time past the hardware men
have been hardening up on a diet OF
nails and grindstones, while the gro
GERS are keeping supple on grape
nuts and Postum.
The best part of the whole affair
is that the entire proceeds of the
game will be donated to the celebra-
ton committee to aid that much In

is hoped that the people will patron
