should CUT
The WEEDS
Property Owners are Asked to Get
Rid of Rank GrOwths That Mar
the Beauty of Grand Rapids.

"People who have gardens or lawns
generally manage to keep them free
from weeds, but the owners of vacant
lots not used for either garden or
lawn purposes do not" The result is
that there are lot Of noxious weeds
growing in various parts of the city
and it is high time they were eradi-
Gated. | would like to ask all property
owners who have weeds growing on
their premises to have them destroyed
now, for if they are permitted to go
to seed the situation will be worse
next year. There is a city regulation
declaring weeds to be a nuisance and
requiring their abatement, but it has
not been very well observed this sea-
son. The city has no weed commits
sioner, except that the district fore
men are authorized to act as such in
their respective districts. They have
so much other work to do, however,
that they can give but little time to
the suppression Of the weed nuisance.
1t therefore devolves on the property
owners both as matter Of civic pride
and compliance with municipal law to
destroy the weeds themselves.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachlan Tube. When this tube is in
tanned you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tlrely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can betak~
en- out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition. hearing will be de-
Stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

mucous surfaces.

WISCONSIN'S
EARLY PEACE
ADVOCATE

Honorable Charles Durkee, congress
man from Wisconsin's first district,
was one Of Americas representatives
at the great Peace Congress held in
1849 at Paris. One Of the first free
sellers elected to Congress, Durkee
was an advanced thinker on many
public questions. IN Washington, Ddr-
KEGS friends were among the idealists
who hoped for the abolition of all evils
which beset the world, and who under
the leadership of Elihu Burritt, known
as the Learned blacksmith" were
endeavoring to establish a world peace
Burritt had been for some time in
Europe, and had organized a move
ment for great Congress of peace
lovers from all the European states.
To this Congress Durkee went as del
egate from the United States, and was
chosen one Of it's vice-presidents. The
president was Victor Hugo, who thrill
ed his auditors by his eloquent de-
of the war system. The
congress was acclaimed in Paris, and
its members lavishly entertained.
Durkee, a pioneer of Wisconsin, en-
joyed his glimpse of the great world
Upon his return to his frontier home,
he presented to the Historical Society
of the State a valuable collection of
pamphlets on the early movement for
World Peace.

GET MORE
POTATOES
Increase the Yield by Spraying A
gainst Late Blight and Beetles

Washington, D. C.,-This year no
grower in the northern States should
overlook the chance to increase the
potato by spraying, which is good in
surance against short crop. Every
year the potato yield is reduced by
preventable diseases and insect pests;
yet it may be increased as shown by
the fact that sprayed potato crops in
Vermont, for example, have produced
on the average 1O5 more bushels to
the acre than unsprayed crops over
a period of p years.
Get Insects and Diseases Too
Bordeaux mixture with lead arsen-
ate added will prevent late blight and
get the potato bug, or Colorado beetle
also. The mixture should be applied
every two weeks, though the interval
may be long if the weather is dry and
no insects are present. With the ap-
preach of the late blight season, after
the middle of July, thorough pro-
tective spraying should be given. Cool
wet weather means trouble, according
to the United States Department of
Agriculture. Continued showers and
an average temperature around IS
degrees call for sprays once week,
even every five days.

Common Vegetables 100 Per Cent
Lower, Commission Men Say.
Early Arrivals Help to
Depress Market

Milwaukee, Wis.-Prices of food
stuffs have taken a decided drop in
the last few weeks, due in part to the
taking a hand in the food
conservation program.
Several of the common vegetables
have dropped nearly 100 per cent in
the last two months, according to Fred
Grossenbach of the Grossenbach Com
mission company. While the federal
activities have had the effect of de-
pressing the market, commission men
maintain that the arrival of early
crops has depressed the market.
Early Vegetables Cheap
''There are several commodities
which are very cheap this spring"
said Mr.. Grossenbach yesterday. eff
the housewife will include in her menu
dishes prepared of cabbage, onions
lettuce or, in fact, any of the early
vegetables the cost of living will be
cut down appreciably. Cabbage is
retailing at 8 cents per pound COM
pared with s and 10 cents two months
ago. It is plentiful and of a good
quality. Onions we are wholesaling
at 3 cents a pound. They are selling
to the cosumer at 4 cents a pound.
Canteloupes are plentiful, cheap and
of a high quality this spring. They
may be had at from to 10 cents each.
Potatoes took a jump yesterday due
to sudden shortage caused by south
ern storms holding up shipments. They
wholesaled at $2.76 to So bushel com
pared with 1925 to $3.50 on Saturday
1t is expected that spuds will sell
lower than 81 bushel before another
month. Radishes, green onions and
Strawberries are selling at reasonable
figures"
