and provisions ranging from 10c

weeds SHOULD
Be KILLED NOW
Illinois Seed Analyst Says Pests
Are Easy to Destroy at
Present.

Weeds are in one of their weak
est stages of growth at this time
of the year and therefore most
easily destroyed, Albert c. Wilson.
chief seed analyst of Illinois. said
today in a statement in which he
urged Illinois residents to aid in
riding the state of weeds.
"The weather conditions this
spring have been only fairly favor
able to vegetation growth, conse-
quentlv. while weed seeds have
terminated they have not made a
very rapid growth" he said. "The
cultivation of land for spring grains
has terminated the growth of any
that we're started and the blowing
Tor corn will get rid of many more
which have started and with the
frequent civilizations of the corn to
conserve the moisture the weeds
will be kept under control until
the corn is laid by.
"If anv noxious weeds such as
Canada thistle, quack grass. horse
nettle. field bindweed or any 9TH
ers prevalent in different localities
are found in the corn after the last
cultivation. they should be kept
from growing by the use of a hand
hoe every week or 10 days,
"a rainy season prevents the
gardener from getting into his gar
den. therefore, weeds get the start
of him. As soon as possible all
weeds should be pulled or hoed out,
thus giving all vegetables chance
to produce an abundant crop.
by neglecting to destroy weeds
they cause heavy Losses to CROPS
because they iniure the quantity
and quality of the crops in which
thew grow and also increase the la
Dor required to take care of the
crops.
ait is estimated that weeds re-
duce the yield of corn by 10 per
cent: tame hay. to Is per cent
POTATOES. 6 to 10 per cent: spring
grain. 12 to Is per cent: winter
grain. s to per cent: fruit and
vegetables. O to 5 per cent. and
pastures, 5 to so per cent. Who can
AFFORD to suffer these losses?
Land values are very largely
controlled bv the prevalence OF
weeds as evidenced by farms aban-
doned because of nuack grass and
Canada thistles. To overcome this
condition community effort in weed
eradication is the only possible
means bv which results can be &C
compIished. II is practically use.
Ices for one land owner to spend
labor and monev to control weeds
,niees his reiGhhors do the same
If community spirit and pride Is
aroused. the weed problem vii
soon end"

CANADA HAS STEADY GROWTH
Recent Census Shows Healthy In
crease in Population, Despite
Losses Caused by War.

Canada's census for 1921 indicated q
total population Of 9,769, 4S9, distrib-
uted as follows: New Brunswick, 387,-
SS9; Nova Scotia, 523,837; Prince Ed
ward island, S8,615; Quebec, 2,S49,-
OCT; Ontario, 2,929,O54; Manitoba,
613,O08; British Columbia, 23,363 /;
Yukon, 4,162; Northwest territories,
1884, and Canadian navy, 485. The
gain for the whole Dominion during
1910-192O, was 100000 or 21.5 per
cent. The war cost the lives of 5668O
Canadians killed In action, while 49,
600 more died from indirect causes.
The percentage Increase in population
is the same as that for Australia, while
the increase for New Zealand 20 per
cent was very little behind In the Union
of South Africa the Increase was 1872
per cent. The Prairie provinces made
the most pronounced gain in Canada,
Alberta showing a 55 per cent in
crease; Saskatchewan over So per
cent, and Manitoba, SO per cent. For
the next ten years the unit of distribu-
tion for determining the membership
Of parliament will be 36,25O. This total
is arrived at by dividing by 05 the
population of each province.

You will see in your travels the

You will read, perhaps, that this
man started on farm, that the other
began as an Office boy, that the rail-

the line which he now rules.
And II you are normal the question
S'How do they do it?" will occur to

For these men will look much like
other men; they will talk like other

VACANT HOUSES

IN THEIR grave solitude and desc
lation. vacant houses are pathetic
reminders Of empty minds, neglected
AID forgotten by those able to take
best care Of them.
On old country roads you may often
See such habitations. seemingly eager
to prefer a smile Of welcome, but
quite unable to do It.
Rank weeds are about the doors,
the walls are weather-wOrn and
Stained, presenting altogether a sad
picture.
And these vacant houses started
gayly In life; warm In friendship and
love, full OF hope and aspiration,
AS the years rolled by they
dreamed less and finally Sank into a
hopeless state of dependency.
You may like vacant houses or not,
but there they are. telling In a Ian
guage of their own of the days that
are departed and the joys that are done.
! And what happens to vacant houses
happens in far more lamentable
way to empty minds, whose owners
habitually neglect them, and pay for
their disregard the sharpest penalties,
at time when their own reward
should be munificent.

mind, allowing the weeds to grow

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make II Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.


Gold teeth are going out of style,
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend is to pre-
serve the tooth to make 1t look as
near as possible like it was originally.
If this can't be done the Offending
mOlar or inciSOr must be pulled out.
The idea of pulling teeth is some.
thing comparatively new in American
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also is not as popu-
lar as 1t once was. To make a bridge
two good teeth were filed down as
anchors for the mass of gold In be-
tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with It.
Now dentists recommend a plate Of
false teeth instead of the bridge.
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science Is now
spending Its energies more on sery-
iceable plates rather than on bridges
or crowns.-New York Sun.

Something to Think About
By F. A. DALKER

day that you are living in solitude In
dreary dwelling, from which your
friends Of old turn away in sadness.
You were 80 sclf.rellant in your
youth that you did not care to en-.
large and beautify your thoughts.
Gradually you neglected this i'm.
pOrtant duty until the weeds grew
and crowded out the flowers. Too
proud to stand up straight and stretch
out your arms to embrace knowledge,
you sat down in idleness or shirked
your opportunity.
Being now your own witness and
your own Judge, there Is alasi no
possible escape from punishment
The world has moved on and left
you behind in a wilderness Of mold
and darkness, where you have time to
reflect and repent.
But, be 1t known, whatever your
age, you may yet improve your vacant
house and make 1t thing of beauty.
Women, as rule, can do this more
readily than men, yet men at forty
and fifty have been known to form
studious habits and food their old
vacant houses with light until It's
brilliancy Illuminated up the whole
worldl
