There are two divisions set up by the federal government, one for the construction of public buildings, sewers, water systems, ete., in which the government will pay thirty per cent o f the cost and the municipality the seventy per cent by issuing bonds; the other is for street and road work In which there will be no refund, the amount necessary to be a gift of the government. The' expenditure is to be through the state highway depart­ ment as all federal funds are expend­ ed for road, and street purposes. It is expected that applications will far exceed ^the amount granted by the government. Solicitor Harry D. Smith will .draw up the resolution. Council transferred $458 as part of the tax distribution . to the water­ works fund. The resignation of L. F. Tindall as a member of council was presented and the vacancy will likely be. filled at the next regular meetng in August. Mr. Tindall has taken a position in Cincinnati. The regular monthly bills were al­ lowed by council. PRICE, ¥1.50 A YEAR M.STORMONT DIED MONDAY John M.

Go On A Strike spread of Canada thistle scourge in this .section of the United States, gen­ uine alarm is being felt by farmers and farm owners and efforts are be­ ing made to encourage a. constant and combined fight against the weed. The territory covered by the Can­ ada thistle has increased alarmingly in this section in the past few.years, despite many warnings and the efforts of many farm owners and tenants to fight the weed and to kill it off. It is pointed out:1)bat the spread of the thistle is largely due to the fact that whilg, one man-may eradicate the weeds in hisji^buheft a neighbor pays no attention to the thistle and by al­ lowing the weeds to remain uncheck­ ed, seeds down the land that has been cleared as well as other territory ad­ jacent to the patch of weeds. Agricultural leaders maintain that the Canada thistle today represents one of the worst Weed pests that has ever invaded the rich farming lands of the mid-west and that immediate and efficient action is necessary if the thistle is to be eradicated and the land saved for farm crops. Many methods o f control have been devised and employed by both fanners and agricultural experts, but the most effective plan used in this section is outlined as follows by one of the most successful farm operators of Madison county: Plow the land infested with the thistles, seed to soy beans; when the thistles grow to be taller than the beans, cut the weeds with a small hoe and the beans will keep the Weeds down for the season. Repeat this performance for three seasons and the thistles will be eradicated for good, —Madison County Press. ment fund to pay farmers that cut down their wheat acerage this fall. The plan is something new and ad­ vocated by organization farm leaders and adopted by congress. It is ex­ pected that a similar plan will be adopted to increase the price of hogs to farmers. . Placing a tax on Hour and meat a- long with the natural increase in these prices means that what meat and bread the farmer purchases he will pay the tax along with his city brother. All Hour milled regardless of who owns the wheat must carry the processing tax according to. re­ ports. Fire Dept.

DAMAGE SUIT Based on property damage caused by a small cyclone which struck the east end area May 13, a suit to col­ lect $400 on an insurance policy has been filed in common pleas court by Agnes Grimes, colored laundress, against the Great American Insurance company, New York. Claim is made that the woman’s one-story frame dwelling, insured to the exjtent Of $800 against wind­ storm damage, was damaged $400 by the cyclone and that the insurance company refuses to settle for this sum. The petition charges that an ad­ juster for the defendant company, taking advantage of the illiteracy of the plaintiff, who can neither read nor write, induced her to sign a proof o f loss which was totally inadequate to repair damage done to her property. The proof of loss was not explained to her, nor was she advised of its contents, she claims.
