DRIVE TO ELIMINATE
BARBERRy BUSHES

Renewal of barberry elimination
work in Preble county is contemplated
as an accompaniment to similar work
which is TO be started in Wayne and
Randolph counties by Indiana authori-
ties this week.
A survey is being taken of Preblo
county farmers. especially in the
northern end, whose wheat is affected
with the black stem rust this year
said County Agent E. D. Turner Sat
urday, and where the most serious in.
festation shows a campaign will be
waged against the fungus through the
destruction of the bush on which il
passes the winter.
A marked decrease in damage by
rust is shown in the neighborhood OF
the Lewisburg stone quarry, said Tur
ner, in consequence of a cooperative
effort to clean up that community las
year when 1900 bushes were grubbed
out.

r. j. JOHNSON
j. Il. BANGS

you don't have to argue with US
about paving" said P. J. Johnson OF
the Strand Theatre as he turned as
II asking the question OF ]. E. Bangs
his associate. Il should say not re-
piled Bangs. And then these gentle
men in turn told The Republican
man their reasons for paving as
we'll as other city improvement. They
argue hal II people doing business
in a community do not have faith
enough in their town to encourage
public improvements, new and better
buildings, good roads and paved
streets, that nothing else good will
ever come to them. These gentle
men own the old brick-cement
theatre building on Fourth street,
which would be considered a credit
to many places even today. They
thought differently, however, and. in
the Strand have one Of the best
theatres in Wyoming; having faith
that the city has a great future and
they are still OF hat belief. Bus
mess conditions generally are inn
proving and now is the time in their
judgment to press public improve
ments before the world gets strung
out on its reconstruction plans.
