FARMERS URGED j TO MOW WEEDS Agitation Started Among Farmers For Cutting Weeds Along Highways Complaints from many farmers - throughout the county liavo been forfhcoming regarding the cutting of weeds along the county roads in this community. Many farmers ‘contend that the weeds- are the cause of many epidemics that j.re very harmful to Adams r |_county crops. Only a few farmers cut r, their weeds along their fences, and it | is the desire of those who have clean- , ’ ed up their Jaands, that others fall In i line mid do the same. , 'They Say tiiat cutting the weeds not ! only retards the spread of worms, bugs I and insects, but that it aids greatly in i tlie attractiveness of the country. Most e > farmers hai'e neglected to cut their ’ I weeds, some for several years, and I in many instances fences are almost *' invisible from the roads. Tourists say that with so many ’’ | weeds along the roads, it is hard to differentiate between the road bed and ■ ■ | ditches, and the weeds often cause ser--111 ious accidents. £ ‘i A campaign has started to urge all | farmers to cut their weeds, and many ’ farmers, who have already done so, *', are urging their neighbors to fall in line and clean up their property.

i ! I HEDDA HOYT TELLS j ij ....about... FASHIONS for WOMEN | l » By Hedda Holt (United Press Fashion Editor) New York* (United Press) Net, is the smartest material for summer evening wear at present. The increasing ilemanir for sheerness has brought about the Tel urn of this sheer material. Years ago the popularity of cheap beaded net robes killed the idea of net with smart women. Today however, we find some of the very smart* east French imports using net or mesh I in preference to chiffons. White net gowns embroidered in crystal or silver beads are among the daintiest tilings of the season. Gold mesh or net embroidered in gold beads are likewise popular. Where silver net is psed, it is generally combined with silver lace rather than with beadwork. Bouffant net or tulle gowns In pastel colors are populer with the younger set, the skirts having layers of ruffles and the bodices being semifitted. Not only gowns of net but ensembles including capes or coats are worn at present. We find smart little net coats in pastel colors made on straight lines and beaded in gold, silver or self-tone selling in the shops very reasonably. As a rale, the cheaper models are unlined although they wear better if one has them lined in chiffon. The net wrap well only when it harmonizes in color with the gown beneath it as it is too transparent to be worn over a contrasting color. It is so light in weight that it can be worn on the warmest night. t Net trimmings on taffeta Robes de ‘Style is often stressed, the net being particularly attractive when used to give a transparent hemline. One even finds the evening handkerchief of net matching the net or net-trimmed gown Heavy meshes of ecru shade embroidered in self-tone are used for overblouses of afternoon gowns. These are quite popular in New York at present. In fact, all smart shops are showing net used either for entire gowns or as trimmings and as a cool summer material nothing can surpass it. o

August 8 —(INS) —Ancient old assembly hall, affectionally dubled “the barn” is receiving its first coat of paint in 13 years. During that time the feet of thousands of Indiana university students have beaten the walks to its doors, and the boat ds have become m re and more unpaiuted and venerable.

Entirely Weil Now. “I suffered with a breakdown five years ago. It just seemed as if was the matter with me. I had blood pressure, a bad stomach, constipation, and I was so nervous 1 would just shake. I could not sleep at night. My nerves just jumped. My stomach would bloat and cramp and the gas would press back my heart till I thought maybe I had organic heart trouble. My bowels would hardly move even with a laxative, and never without one. I had dizzy spells and would stagger and almost fall. I did not have any appetite, and what I did eat wouldn’t stay down. I tried different medicines, but only got a little relief. Then hearing from friends about Viuna, I started taking it. Right from the first it helped me, and now I feel fine, as good as I ever did in my life. I eat anything and everything, have a good appetite, my bowels are in good shape, my nervousness is practically gone. I am a man 70 years of age, and if Viuna helps everyone like it has me, it sure is wonderful.”—Alexander Black, Gaston, hid. Viuna acts promptly on sluggish howels, lazy liver au<l weak kidneys. It puriiles the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, ami brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial.
