worlds heavyweight catch-as- catch
wrestling championship here last eve
ming by throwing Joe Stecher Of Dodge,
Neb. in one hour and al minutes, SO
seconds, with a head and hip lock.
Lewis weighed 22s pounds, 20 more
than his opponent.
The finish was a spectacular one,
Stecher was worn down TO a weak
condition by eight successive head
locks in the last six minutes of the
contest. He squirmed out of the first Of
these in 35 seconds but as he arose to
straighten up Lewis got another on a
flying hold, which he maintained for
40 seconds, Stecher squirmed out and
obtained body scissors, his favorite
hold. but by sheer strength, Lewis
broke away and clamped on another
deadlock which lasted 40 seconds.
The next three were Of short dura-
tion but Stecher appeared weak and
groggy as he got 20 his feet and in an
other moment d.evvis got a vice-like
grip around his opponents head Stech-

himself and Lewis got the final finish

arm over Stecheris head turned him
with a hip lock, threw him heavily 60

legs around Lewis for the scissors bod

START YOUR FIGHT
ON weed INVADERS
NOW; HALT SPREAD

weeds growing on vacant lots
throughout the city are a menace to
the home gardener, says the garden
supervisor. In European cities such a
condition Is not permitted. Property
owners are forced to keep the weeds
cut
Weeds should be cut at least before
going to seed. This cutting will pre-
vent the seed from ripening and
spreading into adjacent gardens. Ar.
ter the weeds have been cut and
dried they should be burned to destroy
the seed and prevent a new crop from
developing the next season.
Many of our common weeds are an
nualH, 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, II they are destroyed
before they go to seed, there will be
no seed from which they can develop
the following year. In the garden.
these weeds can be pulled up by the
roots, cut off with hoe or turned
under by hand cultivation.
Some Must Be Grubbed.
The burdock and wild carrot, which
thrieve in nearly all parts Of the city,
ened or feshy root during the first
year, and produce the seed during the
second year. Because Of the fleshy
root the plant can not be killed by
cutting off the top. 1t will prevent the
devcelopment Of seed, but in order to
kill the plaintiff must be grubbed out,
root and all. The surest way is to
cut off the crown, Just below the sur
face Of the ground, and cut them as
soon as they appear. because the older
and stronger they grow, the greater
is their resisting power.
The perennial weeds reproduce
themselves by developing seed and
lproprogate from root and stem parts.
The dandehon Is a good example 1t
develops a beautiful flower, and pro-
|duces edible leaves, but if given a
start in the lawn or garden, 1t Will
crowd out all other plants.
The large leaves Of the dandellon
are very annoying to the proper work
ing of theslawns mower. They destroy
the beauty Of the lawn, when con-
Itrasted with the finer leaves OF the
June grass and red top.
Destroying Oandelions.
Perhaps the most effective way 10
get rid of the dandelions is to grub
Them out by cutting off the top of
leaves Just below the crown. Try to
cut through the root crown. Use a
sharp table knife or a wedding knife.
Salt, brine, kerosene, dissolved cop
per sulphate or strong acid solutions
IL applied to the roots will destroy
them-but these solutions also de-
stroy the grass and leave bare spots
in your lawn.
The perennial roots may be starved
by preventing the growth OF leaves
above the ground. and this Is effected
by repeated use Of the hoe. weeder
or spade and dfligent digging with
a table knife.
Weeds cut now with a scythe Will
not produce seed this season-and will
helm to reduce hteir number materially
for another year.
