Here is a death treatment for dandc-
lions. A report Of the New York Asri-
cultural Experiment Station tells how to
kill dandelions cheaply and effectively.
As well as killing the enemy OF the lawn,
this treatment destroys lawn weeds. Iron
sulphate, commonly known as copperas
and green viiriol, will do the the work.
One and half pounds dissolved in gal
lon of water and sprayed on the lawn
will destroy them. Four pounds Of the
chemical is sufficient to spray one thous-
and square feet Of ground.
The first application should be made
the first of May before blossomins time.
One or two other applications should be
made every four or five weeks. Then the
grass should be sprayed in late summer
or early fall. The lawn is blackened by
the treatment but the blackening dis
appears in a short time. The lawn should
be sprayed every third year. After the
treatment the lawn should be reseedcd
and covered with fertilizer.
Sprinkling of the iron sulphaie solution

will not do muci, good. 1t should be ap'
piled in a mist-like spray.
Cutting the dandelions will not keep
them out Of lawn, for seldom ever is the
root cut out. Gasoline, kerosene or
brine is injurious to the grass.
Prof. II. F. Major expressed the opin-
ion yesterday that the iron sulphate treat
ment is only efficient when used in a
pressure spray. which costs about $45.
He suggests that a number of persons
buy spray and spray number OF
lawns at a time. getting rid of dande-
lions in all of neighborhood. 1t is his
opinion that property owners will cventu-
ally be- required. by a city ordinance. to
keep weeds and dandelions out of their
lawns.
The University campuscs arc not
cleared Of the parasites with the chemical
process. Professor Major said that they
rcsecdcd the white campus and super
fertilizcd it. This crowds out the dande
lions and weeds.
Either method is good one to deal
death to the little yellow flower.

stamps, he takes them to the local post
Office, which sends them in to the Treas
ury Department at Washington. From
there an order on the United State.
Treasury for the full amount is sent tC
the owner. They may also be redeemed
by mail.
REDEEMED AT ANY TINE
The certificates may be redeemed al
any time by going through this proceed
rre. Ii is not necessary TO hold them
the full five years, although if they arc
sold before that time, the interest on
them amounts only to 31a per cent com.
pounded semi-annually.
Any person can buy certificates up to
the maximum of $1,000 for each issue.
There is new issue each year. Each
member of family, firm, corporation or
company can hold the maximum. Each
dollar invested for the full five years
earns IS per cent interest on the prin.
cipal.
EXEMPT FROM TAXATION
The certificates provide splendid way
io save money, and to make it earn more.
Another ideal feature about them is that
they are exempt from state or local tax,
except estate or inheritance tax. They
are also free from the normal federal in
come tax. This makes the certificates
practically exempt from all taxes, and
makes it an excellent investment. The
last feature has been one Of the best sell
ing points in their favor, for it not only
helps the holder to save money. but also
enables him 10 keep tax free that which
he has saved.
There is no red tape or formaliiy about
buying or redeeming the certificates. For
a government issue, they are remarkably
free from procedure. They are identical
10 United States bonds in their security.
They are direct obligation on the gov
one Of the soundest investments
possible, backed by the resources of the
nation.
Risk in holding them is eliminated.
They are registered at the lime Of pur-
;hase against loss by fire or theft. They
,rc not subject TO huctuaiion. and are
not quoted in the current stock markets.
Their value remains the same, except for
he growing worth of them. as the CON-
interest is added to the invest

SMALLER AMOUNTS ACCEPTED

ing account, under the same plan as
that of the treasury certificates. Both is
sues bear interest from the day they are
bought.
p. S. Woods, Columbia postmaster, is
anxious TO present the merits Of this form
of saving to the public. Additional in
formation regarding it, can be secured at
the post Office. -.
A considerable number Of the certifi-
Gates are sold here. The rural carriers
do surprising amount Of business in
them, the soundness and value of this
form of investment at this time of huctu-
ating prices. being a good appeal to the
rural communities. A good many Of the
$500 certificates have been sold.

How to Make Regenerative Set

Radio, the new national pastime which
already numbers its disciples by the huns
dreds Of thousands, is stimulating Inn
mensely the popular interest in cleo
tricity. Itself an electrical manifestation,
1t requires certain electrical equipment,
and in some cases this equipment Is
arousing radio enthusiasts to the unique
value of electricity to the human race,
especially to home dwellers.
Undoubtedly the opening of eyes, so to
speak, begins through the necessity Of
charging the storage batteries used in
radio sets. These batteries have to be
re-charged frequently, and If the radio
operator was compelled to take the bat
terry each time to a battery service sta
ton 1t would mean consider lble trouble,
expense and time.
Hence the popularity among radio folk
of gas filled rectifiers for charging these
batteries. And if the radio amateur is
also an automobile Owv r, the rectifer
has for him a double usefulness, since
it will re-charge the starting and lighting
battery in his car as well as the radio
battery of his receiving set. To many
radio folk this gives big Importance to
the function of electricity in the home
a function that is many sided
RectifierS originally devised for other
uses are now finding new application
in the radio field.

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR.
By DAVID CORY.

"Heigh Hol' cried little Puss Junior
merrly starting out one fine morning on
his journey Of adventure And, by and
by, after a while, he came to wood.
sylvia, sweet as morning air.
Do not drive me to despair;
Long have I sighed in vain.
Now I am come again.
VIII you be mine or no. no-a-no-
VIII you be mine or no7"
sang n sweet voice.
There knelt Simple Simon before
Sylvia, who frowned and said:
Simon, pray, leave of your suit.
For OF your counting you1l bear no
fruit;
I would rather give a crown
Than be married to a clown.
Go for BOBBY, so. go-a-go-
Go for a BOBBY, go"
Then Simple Simon turned sorrowfully
away and be was so sad that he walked
with his head dowucast and so almost
ran into Pus Junior.
Cheer up. Simon" cried Puss love
Is blind. so I'll pardon your running
into me"
"Ha, ha." laughed Sylvia, you are
bright little cat"
Let me tell you both a story" said
Puss Junior.
Tell one Of your adventures" said
Sylvia, seating herself on a fallen tree
Well III tell you about the man who
scratched out both his eyes, the Bramble-
Bush Man. you know. IL was the day
rode home on my good gray horse
with the farmers daughter so rosy and
fair. We stopped al his house to ask him
where my father lived.
you sec, 1t was the time was hunt
ing for my dear father. Everybody
called the man a wise man. so I thought
he could tell me. But he couldn't. In
fact he said he considered himself a
very foolish man ever to have Jumped In
to the bramble bush, and scratched out
both his eyes, and that It was a wonder
he had had enough sense to jump into
another bush and scratch them IN again.
Now the moral of this little story to
you. my dear Simon, is this:
you have fallen in love with Sylvia
you have jumped into n bramble bush
Of love and scratched out both your
eyes, for Sylvia does not love you: and
II one is not loved in return, love is
certainly a bramble bush.
"Now, my advice to you is to fall in
love with another girl and get back your
eyes!" And then Puss Junior stood up
and twisted his mustachc, and after
that he bowed very low and continued
on his way. But I don't know to this
day whether Simple Simon took Puss
Juniors advice or Copyright. 1922.
This concludes "Puss in Boots Jr," in

They told US In song last night at the
Murat that the loveliest girls in the
world are to be found where the Jordan
River flows through the campus of In
diana University. Then they produced
the proof.
This all happened in delightfully."- en-
tertaining sort Of way last night at the
Murat Theater by students Of the uni
Tersity during presentation of THE
Jordan River Revue" The proceeds go
to the Memorial Fund Of the univer-
sity.
The program explained the Jordan
River and the object Of the Memorial
Fund as follows:
1.-THE Jordan River, christened in
honor of David Starr Jordan, who was
president of Indiana University from
1885 to 1891, traverses the entire length
of the Indiana University campus,
trickling under the bleachers on Jordan
field en- route. 1t assumes torrential
proportions during April showers and Is
a mere momory in mid-August. The
Jordan River has been the scene of
countless freshmen duckings and forms
the background for a large portion Of
Indiana University tradition and legend.
at is to the land of the Jordan River
that Aileene Trevor fees in the first
scene of the Revue, trailed by W. j..
Sideburns, worlds greatest criminologist,
and his force OF Six Super Sleuths. Their
gum shoe work leads the sleuths into the
worlds byways and side streets before
the land where the real Jordan River
flows is discovered. The final scene Of
the Revue brings the work OF the detec-
tives to a fruitful close on Jordan neld,
close Ly the waters Of the Jordan River
at the close of the annual Indiana Purdue
football contest
THE Jordan River Revue was designed
primarily to add a few dollars to the
Indiana University Memorial Fund OF at
least one million dollars. Its first pro-
duction on the university campus netted
