NO, SHE NEVER DID LIKE HIM
Letters Once In a While, but
What of That?

Over steaming teacups the two dam
sells sat and talked. The conversation
turned upon an unfortunate individual
who had incurred the disfavor of one
of them.
"No, never did like him." she said.
"Why, when he used to write me
glowing love letters I would only
glance over them once"

KEEP UP WARFARE ON WEEDS
Allowed to Grow Until They Seed,
They Become Menace to
Whole Community.

Weeds growing on vacant lots
throughout city are menace to the
home gardener. In European cities
such condition is not permitted
Property owners are forced to keep
the weeds out.
Weeds should be cut at least before
going to seed. This cutting will pre-
vent the seed from ripening and
spreading into adjacent gardens, After
the weeds have been cut and dried
they should be burned to destroy the
seed and prevent new crop from
developing the next season.
Many of our common weeds are an
nuals, such as the wild flax, pigweed.
horse or butter weed, ragweed, milk
weed, mustard and sand burs. They
reproduce themselves each year from
seed only. Thus If they are destroyed
'efore they go to seed, there viii be
10 seed from which they can develop
he following year. In the garden
hese weeds can be pulled up by the
:oots, cut off with a hoe, or turned up
BY hand cultivation.
The burdock and wild carrot, which
thrive in nearly all parts of the city,
are biennials. They develop a thick
ened or fieshy root during the first
year, and produce the seed during the
second year. Because of the fleshy
root the plant cannot be killed by cut
ting off the top. 1t will prevent the
development Of seer, but in order to
kill the plant it must be grubbed out,
root and all. The surest way is to
gut off the crown, just below the sur
face of the ground, and cut them as
soon as they appear, because the old

TREATING WOUNDS OF TREES
Park Board Of Washington City Gives
Some Valuable information on
Important Subject.

The Washington park board COM
missiOners has issued the following
bulletin regarding the treatment of
tree wounds:
Tree wounds, due to removal of
large limbs or to injury from any
cause should be promptly dlsinfected
and treated with waterproof cover
ing. An exposed surface is subject
to attack by fungi and wood-boring
insects unless properly cared for. AS
soon as. cut is made the wound
should be treated with a disinfectant,
such as common creosote, which will
penetrate and sterilize the wood. This
may be applied with small brush.
After creosoting, the wood should be
protected from moisture by means of
a heavy coat of coal tar. Instead of
using the materials separately, they
may be combined, using one-third
creosote ami two-tnirds coal tar. In
case cracking occurs, surface should
be recOated. A pure white lead and
linSeed oil paint is sometimes en-
ployed for tree wounds, and, while
not as satisfactory as the coal tar
creosOte paint, it is good deal bet
ter than nothing. Ordinary grating
wax will give good results for small
wounds.

Home owner Best Citizen.

The man who owns his own home
Is good citizen, for he has increased
his assets of self-respect and independ-

sense of the responsibilities of life.
This sort of man studies civic prob

the fact that If he is taken away his
family will have a roof over their
heads and will be kept intact through
the ownership Of the home.
