Lovell at his residence on Lake street and the drug store, which he used for the use of himself and family. L4ter Fletcher Clark and Mr. Lovell installed a email switchboard in the rear of ihe ,4rug store, adn a few subscribers used the telephones. The business finally as-- sumed such proportions that a larger switchboard was secured and the ap-- paratus moved to the second story: of the Knight building, and operated by Mr.: Lovell and Mr.--Clark, unti; taken over by the Bell Telephone Company. VOLUME XXXII.--NUMBER 27. Among the officials of the telephone company present at the opening of the new plant Saturday night were C. T. Ford, District Commercial Manager, T. M. Bradford, District Traffic Bupt.; Austin, Traffic Supt., and H. F, Crun-- din, at the head of publicity. New signal boxes are being installed and will all be in by next week. The operator will still say "line is busy" instead of the buzzer, used at some exchanges. Pictures of the new quar-- ters will be found on page six.

' The application should be made in the latter part of the afternoon or early evening, as the worms do the greater part of their feeding atnight, and the bait is much more attractive when fresh. * 'This mash has been used success(ul-- ly in a number Oof states and in hun-- dreds of instances i nthis state, and when properly mixed and correctly ap-- plied it has never been known to fail in killing from 60 to 90 per cent of the worms in the fields. LAKE BLUFF MAN IS TAKEN IN SUDDEN HEART ATTACK Edwin Brown, about 70 years of age, a retired capitalist, died suddenmly Sat« urday afternoon at his home, Ravine avenue, and Moffett road, Lake Bluff, being stricken with ?n attack of heart disease. A PAVED ROAD FROM VOLO :« TO MHENRY IS OPENED The most effective means of con-- trollin gan outbreak is by poisoning the worms in the fields where it orig-- inated, or aroung,l::e margins of such fields ts the wo are leaving. This can best be done by the use of a bait made as follows: 25 lbs. dry bran; 1 Ib. white arsenic or 1 lb. Paris green. Mix dry; add water (about thre gal lons) to make a stiff mash, in which has been stirred two quarts of cheap molasses, black strap preferred. The mash should be of such consistency that it will just hold together wheu tightly squeezed on the hand. If pos-- sible to obtain it, white arsenic should be used instead of Paris green, as it can be bought for about one--fifth the price, and is just as effective for baits of this sort.
