liable at any moment to make some
sort of a break.

Justice West serves notice to the
world to keep an eye on Henry Allen
in Chicago in June. "If the Republic

and Henry Allen makes speech
he warns Then he adds: 1.-THE other
thing is that, out of the fog and
heartIessness which enshrouded the
country by reason of industrial strikes

man who had the vision, who blazed
the way and who set the pace. What

That is the tribute which Justice
Judson S. West of the Kansas supreme

GASOLINE KILLS DANpEIdoNs.
Speed Fluid a Sure Knockout for the
Lawn Pests.


Lawrence, Kan, May 10.-Gasoline
is useful in killing other things than
bank accounts via the motoring route.
The speed fluid is a sure knockout
for that ever-present foe to Kansas
lawns-the dandelion,
Prof S. J. Hunter of the University
of Kansas has called the attention OF
the city of Lawrence to the fact that
a small spoonful or two of gasoline
poured upon the crown of the dande-
lion plant will make it curl up and
die. clear down to the very tip OF its
usual twenty feet or so root.
According to Professor Hunter. the
gasoline method is the best one known
for clearing a. lawn of dandelions as
it kills the weed entirely. Merely cut
ting off the crown. which is common
" done in attempting to dig the dan
delion out, does not kill the root ex-
cept that part taken out and the
remaining part soon springs into Ire
as a new plant. The gasoline method
also has an advantage over the dig
ginE method in that it does not break
the soil and make a landing place
for seed carried by the wind from
other laws.
The gasoline must be applied d.
rectly to each plant. The method has
been tried out successfully this season
on Professor Hunters lawn where
three gallons of gasoline were required
to clear a space of about 100 square
feet that was badly infested.

TO BEAT M'ADOO'
New York Democrats Out to
Defeat "SOn-in-Lawtn
Want Wet Candidate and to
Oppose Wilson.
BY HAROLD D. JACOBS.

New York. May 10.-Evidence is ac-
cumulating that New York, with the
biggest delegation in each of the two
major national conventions, will work
along divergent lines in the selection
of presidential nominees.
According to the best available in
formation, New York's eighty eight
Republican delegates will play safe
and ride the winner" while the states
ninety Democratic representatives will
endeavor to throw a few monkey
wrenches into the machines of various
candidates from the start.
The Democratic delegation under
the unit rule, obviously will be more
amenable to discipline" than their
Republican brethren who may cast
their ballots individually The Demo-
cratic delegates apparently will be
dominated by a. strong majority which
is determined to do two things:
Select an avowedly wet" or at least
damp" candidate.
Oppose President Wilson's leader
ship of the party.
Are Against McAdoo.
1t is understood that the present
plan is for New York to cast its first
ballot for Gov. Alfred E. Smith. Until
the recent conference of Democratic
delegates IN Albany, II was believed
the second and subsequent ballots
would go to Governor Edwards, of
New Jersey.
Now. however, it is said to be the
intention of state leaders to inaugur-
ate a boom for Vice President Mar
shall on the second ballot, hoping thus
to embarras IS the candidacy of Will
liam McAdoo and thru him the pres
ent administration.
If the Marshall boom does not show
the desired strength. the New Workers
are expected to throw their support
to Gov. James Cox, of Ohio.
The entire block of Republican dele
gates from New York is scheduled to
vote for Nicholas Murray Butler on
the first ballot. According to the gem
eral understanding, it will continue.
for him until a definite break comes.
when it will swing to the candidate
who is the obvious choice.

big apple orchard. just as Jane had

he looked over the orchard thought

to know its particular COW. and passes
by dozens unnoticed. until he finds
the one he Claims. Now. you may
think this part Is a fairy story. but
those who have made study of ants
and their ways. tell US that these
dairyman ants sometimes actually
build tiny fences around their cows
to keep them from straying of and
getting lost. They are not regular
fences like the ones around pastures
and fields. but are made from plant
matter which the ants push UP into
little ridges around Their particular
stock. And to keep the little shUt-up
creature contented. the ant brings
food and throws it over the fence
just as we would throw clover over
the fence to the COW. The Aphis may
get tired of being followed about and
Mflked SO constantly, but then. the
rubbing feels good. and it is mighty
nice to have some one to feed and
take care of them. The ants have no
regular milking time. but tag along
behind their cattle. and milk them
whenever they get hungry.
If one settlement of farmer-ants
do not have any Aphis-cows. the SOL
der ants march out. and try to stea!
some from their more fortunate
neighbors. OF course. the owners OF
the cows refuse to give them up with
out a fight. so war is declared be-
tween the two settlements. and a big
battle follows, in which great many
