New Weed-KilIing
Chemical on Market
New Product, Which Kills
Weeds Without Harming Grass
On Sale At Schindel-Rhorer's.

Columbus, Ohio-American home
owners now keep their lawns free of
weeds at an average cost of $1.00 a
season as the result of a new devel-
opment in 2,4-D, a Weed-killing plant
hormone, scientists at the Ohio State
Agricultural Experiment Station re-
vealed today.
Developed from an ester of 2, f.
Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid this
chemical, which has been named
Weed-No-More, kills most broad-leaf
weeds but is harmless to common
lawn grasses. Instead of back-break-
ing digging every summer the av-
.erage householder can now merely
spray on this chemical and enjoy a
smooth and weed-free lawn. Weed
No-More is manufactured by the
Sherwin- Williams Co., worlds larg-
est makers of paints and insecti-
cides.
The preparation is particularly
effective against dandelions, Chick
weed, bindweed, poison ivy, plan
tain, thistle, and many other weeds,
the Scientist said. 1t will not in
jure the soil and is harmless to
humans and animals when used
according to directions. 1t is odor
less and non-staining.
The action of the chemical is such
that weeds literally strangle them
selves to death because 2, AID is a
plant hormone which effects the
growth factor of broad-lefa plants
and can be used to destroy them as
well as stimulate them.
A supply of Weed-No-More has
now been received by Schindel-
Rohrer & Co., Inc, and is on sale
at their store, % South Potomac
Street.

Local Man Has First
Soft Water Service
w. Harry Angle Opened First
'Culligan" Service In 1888.

An article Hard Water" in a re-
cent issue of Life" brings to mind
that Hagerstown has one of the old
est Soft Water Service companies
in this section of the country - in
fact the first "Culligan" Soft Water
Service in the United States.
Back in February, 1888, W. Harry
Angle read an article on Zeolite
(the chemical substance used for
softening water) in "The Business
Digest" Becoming interested, he
wrote to the Culligan Zeolite Com
pany, Chicago, Ill, for information
regarding the industry. Later, Mr..
Angle made a trip to Chicago to
personally investigate the situation
and on his return opened up the
first Culligan Soft Water Service
to be operated outside of the par
ent company in Chicago. Today, the
company has $40 plants in operation
throughout the nation

small garage on West Washington
street, today = eight years later :
he has a modern Office and plant
located at 81 East Franklin Street.
Formerly, efforts were made to
soften water with harsh soaps and
various chemical softeners Today
with the use of the Culligan Eco
lite Cylinder, complete soft water
service is available to every house
holder, farmer, or business. This
new and modern service is installed
in your home, farm, or place of bust
ness, guaranteeing soft water and
thus relieving not only the pos
sibility of damage to plumbing in
stallations so often caused by hard
water, but also giving all the bene-
fits that only users of soft water
enjoy.
The new Culligan permanent
water softener is now on display
in Mr.. Angles showrooms.

Can it be that these gentlemen

1 can understand the value of
political trading to avoid a primary
fight. But at this late date there
doesn't seem to be "chinaman's
chance" of avoiding a three-way
battle and, with that fact staring
them in the face, isn't it about time
that Senator Tydings and Attorney
General Curran take counsel with
Mr.. Tawes and come out boldly
with full Tawes ticket, so that
his supporters throughout the State
may know just where they stand.

Mr.. Little's resignation as special

In a letter to newspaper pub

ton, he said, they published more

vertising, much of it contributed or
sold to sponsors at reduced rates.
This amazing contribution by
newspapers, to help finance and win
the toughest war in history Mr..
Little said, should make every
newspaperman proud of the
glorious war record that newspapers
made which will go long way to-
ward furthering the cause of free
press throughout the world.
There has never been more con-
vlncing proof of what a free press

Bishop 5hehan Leave!
For Baltimore Post

Memories Of his % years at st.

Bishop Lawrence j. Shehan as he
preached his last sermon in that
capacity. Bishop Shehan left today

mains"
| He is succeeded by Msgr. John

Baltimore and at North American
College in Rome. Msgr. Russell, a
native of Baltimore, is the nephew
of the late Bishop William T. Rus
sell, who instituted the annual Pam

If the recommendations of fact.
