NEW METHOD OF
KILLING PESTS

The new process of fumigation Of
buildings and Kidding premises Of
vermin and insect pasts, which has
been adopted by the T. n. T. Ex-
terminating Company. 9O5 City Trust
Bldg, has proven satisfactory in
every instance, according to J. V.
McMillen, proprietor, and recognized
expert fumigating engineer.
Clients, who have been served by
the new method, have been en-
thusiastic in their expressions of
satisfaction, McMillen asserted.
I'VE have found a modern method
of killing bedbugs and other vermin,
which is certainly effective" said
McMillen.
In order to satisfy ourselves as TO
the efficacy of the new process, we
have made number of unusually
careful tests to show what can be
accomplished. Results have been
startingly convincing.
1--WE are now using liquid
hydrocyanic acid, which is in a steel
container and is forced into a piping
system, which carries the atomized
gas into the premises to be fumigated.
ut cannot be disputed that
fumigation is true economy and
our scientific method means reducing
the ravages Of insect, pests ana
rodents. The toll taken by these
enemies of mankind runs up into
most startling figures, second only
in annual losses by fire. So we are
taking up the job of fighting the
foes of mankind and contributing to
the lessening of the economic
burden.
ut is better to eradicate vermin
in early stages than to check or con.
troll them after they are we'll started
Fumigation should be considered on
basis of repeated applications at
more less regular intervals in hotels.
boarding houses and other places of
public occupancy"
McMillen has found the LIQUID
! hydrocyanic acid method applicable
to flour mills, grain elevators, food
factories, cereal mills, dwellings, etA.
without injury by ABSORPTION to the
contents Of such places. A report
by the United States Public Health
Department also confirms his state
ment.

.BOGUE EXPLAINS
SPEECH DEFECTS

One of the mysterious things in
connection with the speech of hui
man beings is that there exists a
disturbance of speech for which ap.
parently there is no anatomical or
physiological basis. This peculiar
affection is rarely uniform in its ex.
preston, the manner of which may
change within a few hours.
This disturbance Of speech is com.
monty known as stammering or slut.
tering. The conditions under which
people experience the most difficulty
seem to vary greatly. A condition
that may be favorable to one is un.
favorable to another. The trouble
is never manifested in two persons
in exactly the same form.
In his book entitled THE Normal
Mind" Prof. William II. Burnham,
Clark University says:
1T is usually easy for sufferers
to talk to children or animals. The
thought that his observer is unac-
quainted with his difficulty is also
helpful to the stutteper. Nearly all
sufferers are able to speak or read
without suffering when alone. Many
stutter in conversation, but do not
stutter in public speaking"
Benjamin N. Bogue, head Of the
Bogue Institute for Stammerers, in
writing Of the same speech difficulty
under the term of stammering, in.
dicates that big experience through
out twenty-five years has convinced
him of the extreme variability of
this affection. He calls attention to
the fact that zone person will rarely
ever stammer when talking to mem.
bers of his own family or immedi-
ate friends, but will stammer while
talking to strangers. The same per-
son may even stammer more when
discussing some business transact
ton, or when he is greatly inter
ested in what he is talking about.
In fact, so diverse are these mani
festations of stammering that it may
justly be said that each case pre-
SCENTS the uniqueness of a case by
itself"

Defeat of Year.

The Egyptian five composed of
former University of Illinois play
ers met with their first defeat of the
season Sunday afternoon when the

At the start of the second half the
former college boys rallied and came
within two points of tying the score
The large crowd was in an uproar
and Caskey, who was injected into
the fray at this point, came through

Hard football is using every ounce

Rockne exploded at the question.

Never! We've all heard stories
about dirty football played by the
Army, but l think / am as familiar
with Army football as any coach in
the country. The Cadets don't play
dirty football. They play good. clean,
hard football and that's the game.
It's no chess match. I'll tell you
why there are occasionally more in,

They are hard youngsters, those

WINS FOURTH CHANCE In MAJORS
Arnold STATE Returns to Big
Show After Three
Trials.

BIZ YEA Serrice
they are plucked for the major base
ball leagues before they are ready.
Which probably is the case with
Arnold John STATE, srecently drafted
by the Brooklyn Superbas. 1t will
be his fourth big league trial.
STATE, it will be recalled, was a
91-year.old phenom with the New
York Giants in the spring of 1919.
With Holy Cross he attracted the at
tention of all major league scouts.
AS frequently is the case, the Giants
put out the biggest bonus and Statz
became member of McGraw S
champions.
Brief Trial In 1920
But McGraw is manager who de-
sires immediate delivery. STATE was
not yet ripe for the big show, as. a
brief trial in the spring of 1920 con-
WINGED McGraw that the Holy Cross
youngster was several years away.
When the waiver signal was sent
out OH JlS COlleSldIl, lllS LNSu QUA
claimed him, but the American
leaguers reached the same decision
as McGraw, not ready, so the idol
of Holy Cross was dropped to the
minors.
Hits $40 on Coast
STATE was placed with Los Angeles
in the Pacific Coast League. He
played in 101 games in 1920. The
following season he finished with an
average of $40 for 1853 games and
stole So bases. He again was recon-
mended as big league material.
The Chicago Cubs paid the price
for STATE. He had three years of it
in the National League, but his light
hitting again relegated him to the
minors.
Another trip TO Los Angeles for
John Arnold-two more years and
now he returns to the Brooklyn SUI
perbas via draft. STATE has drawn
high praise from Manager Marty
Krug of the Angels, who said:
Hes the equal to Iris Speaker

SUCCESSOR OF

Wall Street Believes U. S.
Steel Chairman Picked
Prior to Death.

Blu United Press
NEW YORK, Aug, 16.--Wall
Street believes the successor to
Judge Ebert H. Gary, head TO the
United States Steel Corporation,
who died yesterday, has already
been selected.
1t believes that the man who will
be the next chairman of the coun-
try's first billion dollar corpora
ton will be found in the following
list:
Senator David A. Reed of Penn
sylvania.
Former Governor Nathan Miller
of New York, counsel for the cor
poration.
Dwight w. Morrow of j. P. Nor
gan & Co.
Pierre S. Dupont, heavy stock
holder in the steel corporation and
chairman of General Motors.
James. A. Farrell, president of the
steel corporation.
Myron G. Taylor, member of the
steel corporations finance commit
tee.
Orlando F. Weber, president of
he Allied Chemical and Dye Cor
poration.
Coolidge Out of II
The name of President Coolidge
was given prominent place in the
speculation.
But there seemed to be rather
definite report coming from Rapid
City that the President did not care
for such q position; that he had
other things in mind; and that he
would not accept the place were it
offered him. So Wall Street sized
up the situation and practically
eliminated him from consideration.
No Struggle Likely
Financiers believe that the Steel
directors long ago realized that
there would be day when Judge
Gary would either retire or leave
as he did-dying with his hand still
on the helm.
Realizing that, it was generally be-
lieved, a selection was made of a
successor and what remains to be
done is merely to make the selection
official. No one looks for pro-.
tracted or dramatic struggle for the
portion.
