his long and busy life had been spent

born in Hanover, Germany, but came
to this country when yet in his teens,
locating at Weingarten, where he was
united in marriage in 1868 to Miss
PHILIPPINE Herter.

Fight the Chineh Bugs Now

According to all reports, more
chinch bugs are going into the winter
this year than for the past several
years. Unless the conditions this
winter should prove unfavorable for
them or some artificial means is pro-
vided to exterminate them, they are
certain to do more damage next year
than for number Of years past.
Chinch bugs pass the winter in wild
grass, leaves and trash, especially
along hedges and fences and in the
edges of woodlots adjoining cultivated
fields. They also hibernate among
the corn stalks, weeds and grass and
under trash or freshly spread manure
in the feds. The best way to handle
the infested fields is to pasture them
after the crops have peen harvested
and plow the ground before it freezes,
All grass, leaves and other trash along
fields, hedges and fences should be
burned when it is dry and there is
very little wind.
The only effective way of fighting
the chinch bug is for community to
work together, all farmers blowing
and burning at about the same time.
A few fields left unfinished in any
community are sufficient to reinfest
the entire neighborhood. 1t has been
estimated that the annual loss from
chinch bugs in Missouri amounts to
almost 100000 bushels of wheat, an
amount too large to be ignored.
Burning should be done at that sea-
son of the year when there is suffi-
niant di.1y ruaafha IN drxy fho Crnse nllt
thoroughly down to the ground, so
that the entirem ass will be destroyed,
leaving no stubble unburned in which
the bugs can escape.
As far as possible, county agents
will organize their counties by com
munities for burning campaigns and
these communities should see that all
farmers within their limit carry out
the plans for destroying the chinch
bug.

Plans for Improved
Service Progressing

y There was called meeting at the
Masonic Temple Tuesday night Of
business men Of the city, for the pur-
pose of further considering the pro-
posed changes of the train schedules,
as had recently been recommended to
the management of the electric line,
as well as other suggestions that had
been made to them by the recently
appointed Railroad Committee. There
was a fair attendance at the meeting.
The railway management had sent
a schedule that had been in force
previous to the last change, which re-
suited SO disastrously to their passen-
ger traffic. They thought the inaug-
uration Of that former schedule
would be satisfactory, and asked for
further suggestions from our citi-
zens. 1t was the sense of Tuesday
nights meeting that number Of
trains would have to be added to that
old schedule in order to render the
service that is expected Of the cleo
trio line, and these suggestions were
incorporated into the old schedule
before its return to the railway man.
agement.
The management of the electric
road is indicating absolute sincerity
in their efforts to render the best
possible service in their power to pa
irons, and The Times does not think
there is any doubt but that their new
schedule will be perfected along that
line. They have also consented 10
reduction in fare between this city
and Flat River to 30-cents, and it is
likely the round trip will be made 60
cents, when that matter has been sug-
gested to them. 1t was overlooked in
the previous conference of the Rail-
road Committee with them.
They are also anxious to put the
new schedule into action just as soon
as possible, and suggested they hoped
to have it in force by the 18th inst.
Everything is now looking fine for
satisfactory adjustment of this trou-
BILE, which has been of long standing,
between the electric line and this COM
munity, which should cause every 10y
al citizen to put forth their best eff
forts tor~i. the building up of that
line.

REV. JASPER N. sITTON DIES

This we'll known and highly es-
teemed minister of the, Southern
Methodist Church, died at his home in
Irondale or the evening of Dec. End.
For more than two years his health
had been failing and the end was not
unexpected by his friends. Rev. Sit
ton was born in Washington county,
Nov. 18, 1850, and was 72 years and
ID days of age.
In 1876 he was married to Ada Rus
sell, of Grant county, Wisconsin, who
survives him. OF their seven children,
six are still living: Everett A., of
Leadwood; Luther; Mrs. B. A. Stapp,
Of Leadwood; Mrs. +. w. Brainard,
of st. Louis, Nova and Ivan, Of Mon
tana.
One brother and three sisters are
still living: Warren, of Oregon coun-
ty; Mrs. John Hanson, of Belgrade,
Mrs. Margie Buckley, of, Parma, and
Mrs. Lucy Maxwell, Of Fresno, Calf.
Sixteen grandchildren, together with
a host of relatives and friends, mourn
the death of this good man. Bro.
Sitton professed faith in Chriss and
united with the Methodist Church in
1888. The transformation thus eff
fected in his life, was of the most
thorough and positive type.
Soon after his conversion he was
licensed to preach and for almost
thirty years served as supply in the
st. Louis Conference. He had gotten
a late start, felt the need of better
educational equipment and never ap-
piled for conference membership, but
no conference member went to his
work more persistently or with a
finer sacrificial spirit.
There was never any difficulty in
finding a place for J. N. Sitton. The
