INSURANCE AID
One of Uses for Part of Bond Pro-

One Of the uses to which 1t Is pro-
posed to devote part of the proceeds
of the Liberty loan bonds is to afford
to our soldiers and sailors life and
indemnity insurance and to provide
for allowances to their dependent
families while they are in the ranks.
On this point Secretary McAdoo of
the treasury, whose plan of insur-
ance for our fighting men was en-
dorsed by President Wilson and Is
now embodied in law pending be-
fore congress, says:
Every soldier and sailor who
serves his country in this war will
earn everything the proposed war
insurance bill provides; to be a
beneficiary of the proposed law will
be a badge Of honor.

These volunteers must be old cases

the service is first for the benefit OF

Attempt to Burn Mill.

What was a deliberate effort to set
fire to the Elliott mill in North Dux-
bury was foiled The mill has at diff
ferent times made boxes for blankets
and shells for guns for the allies, but
at present was not using the boxes
for that purpose. About 1870 o'clock
the night Waterman, who was nail
ing boxes, thought he heard some one
back of him and turning saw man
about five feet away. The man in
formed him that he should stay in the
mill over night and Mr.. Davis replied
that that was not allowed under any
circumstances. Mr. Davis dog and
the sightof the firearms which he
carried seemed to take little of the
mans interest in the occupancy of the
premises, but as he retreated toward
the track he mumbled something to
the effect of regretting this as he
should fire the thing before morning
AS Mr.. Davis made the rounds OF
the mill about 11.30 he discovered a
car of boards on fire. Help was sum
moned and the fire extinguished
The mill was set on fire April IA
and before that the Waterman feels
almost certain that he frightened
some parties away one night. Since
then there has been a guard at the
bridge near the mill until two weeks
ago.

Advice on Eradication of Witch Gras.

ADVICE on Era0lcaElOn or Wltcn OraSS
The following is by F. H. Abbott,
Washington county agricultural
agent:
Witch grass is one of the most seri-
Gus and most general weed pests on
our Washington county farms. The
county agent is asked many times
for some specific method that will re-
suit in the eradication Of the weed.
In order to be able to answer this
question with some degree of authori-
ty a demonstration of one method of
eradication has been in progress on
the farm of the Dodge Brothers in
Berlin. The method pursued in this
case has been as follows: the grass in
tested land, which had been in mead
ow, was plowed ten inches deep in the
month of August last year. This
blowing buried the grass roots and
left good amount of dirt on the top.
The field was narrowed at weekly IN
tervals until late in September, when
it was soWed to winter rye, with the
idea that the rye would come on this
spring ahead of the grass and would
tend to choke it out. This crop of rye
was cut lastweek and run through the
blower into the silo, to be used later
for summer feed and the field is to be
disked and sowed to buckwheat and
millet at once with the idea of smoth-
ering the witch grass further. There
was very little of the grass present
at the time of the cutting of the rye
and we hope that the further treat
ment will complete the eradication.
This will be followed by cultivated
crop, probably corn, next year, and
the progress of the demonstration
will be reported from time to time
lie the method proves fairly success
full it will give us a chance to rid the
land of the weed and at the same
time raise good crops of feed on it.
