HOW TO KILL THOSE
 TROUBLESOME BUGS

Many people are having trouble with bugs eating their potatoes. These '. bugs are a slate or blue color and simply eat off every leaf as they make their way thru the patch.
 The best way to combat bit ing insect, such as these beetles, is to poison them. Use one pound of powdered arsenate of lead, one pound of soap, to 20 to 25 gallons of water. Stir the solution we'll and spray the plants.
 Kerosene emulsion is effect i've if the infestation is but To- cal in the crop. Boil one pound of soap in one gallon of water. Remove from stove and add 2 gallons of kerosese. This will make three gallons of stock so- ]ution. Dilute the stock solu- tion, using one gallon to about 8 gallons of water. This is a contact spray and must strike the bug to kill. This must be used often for this reason while the arsenate will kill as long as any remains on the | leaves.

BUMPLESS ROADS
 OF THE FUTURE

Those of us who ride in au- tomobiles, and that means near ly everyone, are interested in good roads, particularly those that are smooth.
 Extensive tests recently com pleted in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company have opened the probability of a bright future of bumpless roads.
 In the past oil roads have had a decided tendency to break down in places and become ve- ry uneven after a short time. The trouble was that earlier road oils contained only a per centage of asphaltum. The tests of the Standard Oil Company have proved that asphaltum offers many times greater resis- tance to the forces of traffic and the elements than road oil con- talnlng only a percentage of asphaltum. Engineers are re- cognizing this fact and are us ing Calol Asphaltum (E grade) in their operations. The result IS that the bumpless road, in- stead of being a total stranger to the motorist, is becoming a we'll known friend.

UNITED THOUGH FAR APART
Ceremony Known as "Handschoen"
Recognized Under the Dutch Law
as Legal Form of Marriage.

Not SO very long ago Boer in Pre-
tOria was married to girl in Amster-
dam, Holland, the ceremony conStitut-
ing what the Dutch call handschoen,
or glove marriage.
In spite of the fact that a distance
of 5000 miles lay between the bride
in the Netherlands and the bridegroom
in the Transvaal they We're just as eff
fectively married under the Dutch law
as if both hadv been present in the
same church.
The bridegroom sent to his friend,
or best man, in Amsterdam power
of attorney to represent him as his
proxy at the ceremony. and at the
same time forwarded his glove, which
at the proper moment, when the two
were made one, was held by both the
bride and the proxy. The wedding
was duly registered at Amsterdam
and at Pretoria, where the bridegroom
filed an affidavit with the proper mag
istrate.
This curious form of marriage is a
purely Dutch institution, the custom
having originated it is said, in the
old times of Dutch-Batavian rule. 1t
is, however, a dead letter in the Trans
vaal since the English took over that
colony.

Huns to Wear Bark Shoes.

To help out in the present great
scarcity Of leather and the consequent
dearth of footgear, q German army
authority recommends the introduction
Of linden bark moccasins such as are
worn by the Russian peasantry. Made
from the bark of young tWigs, these
shoes are said to stand two years
wear; yet they are light and easy
and can be made to fit well. The lin
den forests of the prince of Monaco,
near Laon, France, Germans say,
would supply sufficient bark to make
100000 shoes, and the making of
them would furnish excellent light oc-
2upation for prisoners and Slightly
wounded.

Month of Harvest Moon.

Aside from the autumnal equinox,
September each year is marked by an
other astronomical event of considera-
Bile interest, namely, the so-called har-
vest moon, it being the full moon near
est the autumnal equinox. The harv-
est moon rises at nearly the same time
for several successive, evenings in
stead of nearly an hour later from
night to night, as IS usually the case,
and 1t Is from this continuous run Of
bright moonlight nights that this
moon is said to derive its name, farm

A very close estimate of the weight
Of any block Of lie may be ascertained
by applying the following method:
The volume of tie ice in cubic inches
is obtained by multiplying together the
three dimensions. Dividing the prod
uct by 80 gives the weight Of the ice
in pounds. For Instance if the block
is 10 by 10 by u inches, its volume
is 1900 cubic inches; dividing this
product by 80 gives 40 pounds as the
correct weight OF the ice.-Popular
