Properties week the barberry fieldmen w- mad surrounding tonftm fwpiy*#* destroyed ahotttSO fame bwhe* and 26 seedling htthei Of thie harmful shrub. Bushes watt land Ml 11 different properties WB^ W One, •specially interesting case was ; found on th<9 property of Guy Hubbs 1 near Marengo. At this place several : sprouting bushes were found which ; liA<i otawu from root* of ccmison barberry bushes which had been cut off several years ago. Mr. Prescott of the Marengo Nursery told the men , that he had raised common barberry at this place in years past. This explains the reason for finding these sprouting bushes. All of the bushes | were Infected with stem rust. A large bush measuring more than ten feet in height was found on the property of John Wark, Jr., in Marengo. Mr. Ward was very glad to have this bush dug, since it was very heavily infected with rust. Barberry bushes were found on the following properties in Marengo: Mrs. Grace j Shellfngton, J. F. Sullivan, Mrs. J. H. Redpath and G. L. Henson. Although • most of th« bushes were dug, about 1,000 pounds of rock salt furnished by the govememnt w«s used in destroying bushes which were not dug. Common bushes have notdwi edged leaves, thorns that appear three in a place, oval berries which hang in clusters like currants and remain on the bushes throughout the winter, a gray outer bark, yellow inner bark and yellow roots. Anyone who knows where any barberry bashes are growing should report then to box 145, Woodstock. The bashes wUl be jradicated by the government men it no cost to the owners of the property. Ford Motors Now Are A^lKAWa 14,000 .000 Mark Another million mark in Ford production was passed on July 21, when motor No. 14,000,000 came off the assembly line at the Fordson plant of the Ford Motor company. Some idea of the present enormous production of Ford cars is obtained when it is recalled that it was only a little more than two years ago, June 4, 1924, that the famous Ten Millionth Ford was produced, an event which was celebrated by driving the car across the country from New York to San Francisco on the Lincoln Highway. In the twenty-five and a half months elapsing since that time, Ford output increased 4,000,000. The first model T was turned out on October 1, 1908, and it was not until seven years later, December 10, 1916, Hut the lint million was reached. ttirmv MRDAftlll Q WuJUlI nuGWnffljj OQUf ilD or A 111 otJR CITY .TCi 'V % •* v'-V • >. - •\ V'" ?'" t'*V'-t*" •'•>'•*' Be sure tliat the watch movement you select is fitted in a modern case.

I n MIMIMIMMMI IJ|» I (I A Girl Named Jean By CLARISSA MACKIS ===========i==C <Copjrrl«ht) «Cr8, I want you to meet Jack Blake--I don't know whether yea remember him or not; he used to come and spend holidays with me when I was at prep school--we used io have bully times!" Silas Meade ran off and left his sister to receive the tall, handsome young man with the grave eyes. "Sit down, Mr. Blake, and do you care for tea? It Is so hot today that I made It iced--sugar?" She gave him the tall frosted glass fragrant with lemon slices and orange pekoe tea. "Do you like these nut cookies? I adore them--" she gave him the plate, took a cookie herself and pushed the tea wagon aside. "Please roar a little, Mr. Blake. Silas says yon write the most wonderful stories and books, and will soon be a social Hon." "Help!" he said feebly, and took another cookie. "Sattfe nut cookies, same blue plates, same muffin stand, same shady lawn--I have never forgotten a thing, even to the beds of mignonette and pansles!" , "They are all the same, now and forever!" laughed the girl. Then she added sympathetically, "You were somewhat alone, weren't you? We used to love to have you here." He looked embarrassed, as If he was trying to recollect her--place her In those earlier days.' "I was a lonely little beggar. My mother died when I was quite small, and father traveled a lot, and I was reared among all toy cousins and aunts and uncles. This was more like a real home to me--I loved It." "There was a girl named 'Jean,'" he added suddenly. "A most enchanting child--I suppose she is married by this time; she should be I" he added regretfully. "In those days my highest ambition was to be worthy to marry little Jean when I grew up!" "You have sisters?" he Inqulfed. "Two," she said demurely. "Are they married?" * "Yes! You will meet them tomorrow, I hope," she murmured. He could press her no further, and he dared not question Silas who would have screamed with mirth at the Idea of old Ja<'k losing his heart to one of his sisters. "I remember your sister Jean. Silas," he did venture to remark, as they went for a walk along the seawall that bordered the property. "Jean? Oh, yes--she's a good scout!" "I have been hoping that she would come home soon," said Jack. "Home from where?" demanded Silas. Jack Blake stared. "Home from wherever she Is--that Is, she's alive, Isn't she?" It was Slla's turn to stare. "Out with It, Jack! You knew my sister Jean when she was a little kid--I used to be Jealous of her fondness for you. Remember that time she fell off the fence and scratched the corner near her eye--I saw you kissing It to make It well again. You know we went back to prep that night, but the folks told me afterwards that Jean positively refused to allow nurse to wash that particular spot on her face for fear she would wash away your kiss! And then years afterwards, when I had thot stunning picture of you in uniform, the girl swiped It, and to this day It Is on her dresser!" "8ay, you ought not to be glvtng your sister away like thatl" blurted out Jack, very red in the face. "You see, I've always thought of her as a little kid." "dome on down to the beach, bathing's good, and Jean will be there." In Ave minutes, they were flashing through the greenish water, brand arms lifting with each stroke, while a girl in a bathing salt stood on the distant float and watched them wistfully. She had given her girlish heart to handsome Jack Blake, and fooUeh and unmaldenly as it might be, she found It difficult te readjust her thoughts of him. She pushed back the scarlet silk cap she wore and the black curls blew out In the wind. Jean waved a hand, and they climbed on the raft Jack shook himself like a big dog, and than looked eagerly at the glrL It was Jean! The girl named Jean --his little sweetheart of long ago. How charming she was. "Here we are, Sis!" panted SUas. But Jack only stared. "Isn't it glorious today?" asked Jean, blushing under his adoring eyes. "Why--why--" he stammered, "You were Jean all the while P She nodded. "I didn't understand why you did not recognise me." But she did know that she always sat in shadow so that he could not see her blushes or her telltale eyes. Suppose he had forgotten her? It was wonderful that he had been her hero so many years. a»a« glanced despairingly at thrm, "Oh, Mamma!" he grunted, and dived Into the next big sea. "Of course you would not remember the last time I saw yon," Jack said wistfully. "I might," said Jean shyly, "ft rained, I think," she hastened to say. "Rained tears when "you fell off the fence--Some day, may I remind you more about that day?" he whispered. "Some--day," whispered Jean softly- ^ Out With WiM Ortons The work of ritfing Ind o< wild onions must be started is the £sU» sags the United Sflss Department of Agriculture^ The object of beginning at this time is to destroy the plants from the soft-shaded bulbs before thagr hare advanced far maagh to prodnee amr twlbs. The best time is when the food stored In the bulbs has been transferred to the growing plant and before the new bulbs have started to form. There is a considersb! o period wium this condition ex- i ism, which is when the new plants are about 12 to 15 inches high. This is during October and November in the South and November and December in the North. It is very important that the tops be completely buried by the plowing, as otherwise many of than would keep on growing. A plow with a jointer attached to the beam will often be a great help in thoroughly turning under the tops, while discing the land previously to plowing will also aid in accomplishing this result. In the spring the field should be planted to some cultivated crop, preferably corn in checkrows. It may be necessary to plow again shallow?y in the spring, but ordinarily a discing or two previous to planting will suffice. In cultivating the corn the e/fort should be to kill the onion plants that spring up. This can best be accomplished by cutting off their tops. Cultivators of the sweep type are best for this purpose. If this program is carried out most of the onions will have disappeared by the end of the summer. If necessary, however, the practice should be repeated the following year. Not So Ceetly After All "More than 9,000,000 cattle, in 842,- 000 herds, were tuberculin-tested in the United States in the last 12 months The total number of reactors was slightly under 3 per cent. In other words tuberculosis was found in the proportion of one-third of an animal in every herd tested. It is self evident that it is more economical to sacrifice one-third of an animal per herd now than to allow the disease to spread until 60 per cent or more of the animals per herd become tuberculosis, as is the case in some European countries. If, by taking one-third of an animal now from every herd in this country tuberculosis will be eradicated, the expense will not bankrupt the livestock industry, nor will it be too much for the state and national governments to bear," said Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of the Animal Industry, in an address to the Seventh Annual Eastern States Tuberculosis Conference at Burlington. Vt, June 22-23.
