out which will poison the roots and
prevent them from making nuisances
OF themselves. This may sound like
rather a drastic way to combat some
poor. unsuspectng roots, but If don't
get them-they will get you-so its
another case Of the survival Of the
dttest, or something.
At any rate, II you have occasion to
take up your sewer pipes, or If you
are in the midst Of putting down
some new ones, you should look into
this matter of root control. The little
device we have reference to Is nothing
but a small piece of copper. shaped
like q ring of pineapple, which is
placed between one length of sewer
pipe and the next The copper is
crimped slightly and is placed in the
bell end Of the pipe when the install
lation Is made in each joint.
You probably wonder where the
lethal poison comes in which we men
toned a moment ago.. Well, this
plant-killing material Is generated
automatically when moisture works on
the little copper rings, forming cop
per carbonate. Copper carbonate, luck
lily. has the happy faculty of killing
plant growth, hence when the sewer
pipe Is laid to rest with these little
copper rings in place it is only q
matter OF a short time until this poi
son Is hard at work. Roots which start
OH In the direction Of your sewers
with evil intentions of clogging them
up, or otherwise disturbing the peace
are quickly cared for and forced to
give up the idea under penalty OF
death. OF course, the copper carbonate
poisoning Is not destructive to the
trees above. That would be a fine
example of cutting off the nose to
spite the face, or whatever that say
ing is.

shower Is available which consists Of
a chromium plated pipe with a
great number Of small holes, located
in such a manner as to give you a
fine shower from all sides at once,
while you recline luxuriously in the
tub. The ring is shaped so that it
fits around the top edge of all the
standard tubs and is connected to the
water faucet with short length Of
rubber hose.
Thus with device of this kind in-
stalled on the tub itself you don't
need shower curtain In the first
place, you don't have to bother with

or make provision for supporting the
shower curtain with rods. Because
of its simplicity the cost Of the unit
is obviously low, and will certainly pay
for itself in increased comfort during
the uncomfortable days OF summer to
come.
A s ANY one knows who has had
anything at all to do with certain
kinds Of trees around their houses,
notably the poplar. the roots of those
trees are forever getting mixed up with

STORES ARE tanned
Shops in Home Sections Required
to Harmonixe.

Construction Of small stores and
shopping centers In residentiaI COM
munities has often been bitterly op-
posed and the storm center Of pro-
longed coming lights.
The usual complaint Is that the
centers or shops are not attractively
designed, are masked by huge signs,
and painted In . manner calculated
not only to attract attention but to
stop trafiic.
Many Of the more recent subdivi-
sion developments have compromised
the debate by erecting the stores but
regulating design and restricting signs
and exterior paint. The results At

dence-property owners and profitable

Nurse Mistakes
Patients TlUin.

Luverne-When ones twin brother
has an operation it is not exactly safe
for the healthy twin to appear in street
clothes in the hospital corridors-unless,
of course, he would like to get sent
'back" to bed. Bill and Ben Bofen-
kamp, 20-year-old identical twins of
Ellsworth, were the source of no little
the Ellsworth hospital while they were
home on vacation from the University
of Minnesota. Ben underwent an oper-
alton for acute appendicitis. A few
hours after the surgery, the head nurse,
who had succeeded in quieting the
patient as he shook off the effects of
the anaesthetic, tip-toed along the hall
only to see her patient" walking down
the stairs fully clothed, as clipper as a
Minnesota football player on his way
to buck up against Iowa. The nurse
had a few bad moments and her COM
posure jumped few degrees. With
professional cajoling she attempted to
get the patient" back to bed. She
said, Young man, you get right back
in bed" 1t was only after the young
man had harangued the nurse for sew
eral minutes, that she could under
stand he was not Ben but his twin
brother, Bill. Even the twins grand
parents, living next door, have been
known to compensate one twin for work
done by the other as it is extremely
difficult to distinguish between the two.

how to get in and in the opinion of
Mr.. Frees it is perhaps just as well to
keep people there after they have come.

wife and I drove south an this very
street and were headed for Mime

and here we are back at the same
hotel" lie me see," said Mr.. Frees.
"Out about seven miles you left the
pavement and took a gravelled road,
you drove through two villages and
when you got to the third village
EVANSVILLE you again connected with
the pavement and turned to your right"
That's exactly what I did," replied the
stranger. you should have continued
to the left" advised Mr.. Frees There

their grips, planning to make fresh
start the next morning.

Roads, Trails Crisis Cross
The National Forests.

Approximately $1,000 miles of roads
and nearly 10000 miles of trails on
the 1877 national forests were MAIN
tanned last year under administration
of the Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture, says
a department bulletin. The total road
mileage maintained included 1893 miles
of forest highways and 63,564 miles of
truck trails.
Construction was completed on 3,747
miles of national forest roads and on
1,403 miles of horse and foot trails.
The road construction included 265
miles of forest highways and 1882
miles of truck trails.
The Forest Service explains that
forest highways are necessary for pub
lie travel but they serve also for fire
protection and aid in the economic
marketing of forest timber crops. Minor
roads and trails are used by millions
of recreationists to reach secluded areas
for camping, hunting, fishing, and pic
nicking, but are primarily necessary for
protection, development, administration
and use of the national forests.
Construction and maintenance of the
various forest improvements serve a
dual purpose, the Forest Service says
development and protection of a ma
tional resource, and relief through en-
ployment. All roads and trails are
planned in advance and work is done
as forest needs arise.
