Christianson ■ — j Elmer Danielson , 1 Among the Western Union employes of Warren, Pa., who testified before the senate committee investigating the lobbying tactics of utility companies concerning the pending utility holding bill was Miss Gladys Lodiug, top left. She told how R. P. Herron, a sales* man for the Associated Gas and Electric Co., dictated many antiutility telegrams to members of congress, using names of persons presumably without their knowledge. John S. Bayer, top right, also of Warren, disclosed that his name was signed to telegrams without his knowledge.. Elmer Danielson, 19-year-old messenger boy from W’arren, lower right, related how he tried, following instructions, to get signatures, at three cents a signer, for the telegrams. •Another witness, A. F. Christianson, a Warren telegraph operator, lower left, told hoW he “accidentally burned’’ some of. the fake wires,

the net earnings of a company. He said that to his way of thinking, the family should get the whole; amount and then give away such percentage as it saw fit. From that subject the conference in Mr. Roosevelt's crowded office turned to a discussion of rail pension legislation. He observed that a hill hod not yet been found which would get supreme court clearance. Then he was questioned as to the Connery 30-hour week bill which htia been reported by the' house labor committee, and re-. marked that he had heard nothing [ about it for seme time. He then revealed that he plan-1 nod to go over a Dig list of works projects today. The president said he had not ■ yet acknowledged a letter from i Sen. Elmer Thomas. D.. Okla., i dealing with the silver situation. Mr. Roosevelt noted that he hoped for some legislation this ’ session for bus and truck regnla-' tion. He declined comment on whether Judge Ferdinand Pecora of New York bad been selected as government counsel in the American Telephone and Telegraph invest!-: gation. He likewise was non-' committal on oil legislation. Asked concerning the flood; control situation in New York state he pointed out that $200,000 was set aside yesterday for expenses of army engineers who will make a survey of rivers and lakes in the flood area, looking toward eventful control methods.

How some of our farms may be purchased. We are glad to present a plan whereby a number of farm properties that we have for sale may be purchased and the purchaser given an opportunity to own the property outright even though his cash in hand is comparatively small. The purchaser is also given tlie gpportunity of getting his farming operations on a productive basis without heavy payments | after he comes into possession of the property. Here is how it can be done Purchaser to pay 15% of the purchase price. Then additional required annual payments on ac- | count of the purchase price may | total as little as 15% during the I first five years and less during : the second five years, if desired. ! Further payments in even hun- I dreds of dollars with accrued in- j terest may be made on account of the purchase price at any time. Now the interest payments are as follows: First year: 2% on the unpaid balance. Second year: 2% I on the unpaid balance. Third year: 3% on the unpaid balance. Fourth year: 4% on the unpaid balance and Fifth year: 5% on the unpaid balance. For the sixth, ; seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth years, 5%% upon the unpaid balls nee. Deed will be given when 80% of the purchase price is paid. Values are rapidly changing and these terms and any pricee quoted are subject to change without notice. All interest is payable semi-: annually but any payments made on the principal is made at the end of each year. We have other fine plans also. | Surely if there ever w'as a time for any ambitious farmer or investor to buy it is now. Jt is wisdom to buy on a rising ' market. Write call or phone us.

.monOSiT! Insecticides Are Much Improved Pyrethrum And Rotenone Get Pests Quicker And Are Harmless To Humans Improvements in gardening ' methods and materials have been 1 relatively few. In the last few I years, however, notable contributions have been made to the effectiveness ot insecticides, al- ! though they are based on age-old practices, utilizing the dried flowers of pyrethrum which have been used for centuries for insect powder; and a substance called roten- ' one, which* is obtained from tbe ■ ■■ ■■■■!■■ ————

roots of derris, an Asiatic plant which has long been used by savagea to kill fish. Considerable change in spraying and dusting methods have resulted from these two substances. Both are known as contact poisons, which means they kill what they touch, and they have the advantage ot being harmleaiH to man and domestic animals, wlUle being death to insects of all kinds. Prior to the development of these materials, a gardener was obliged to used a contact poison to kill aphids and other insects that drink plant juicee: and a stomach poison for the leaf eaters. Nicotine was the most reliable contact poison and arsenic was used for the leaf eaters. A number of preparations are now offered under trade names which furnish ail around protection, by combining both pyrethrum and rotenone in one spray. Although it it» possible to get each of these .substances separately. they are usually prepared in a

mixture which needs only a dilution of water. Botenone, government experts say, is thirty times as powerful as arsenate ot lead ae a stomach poison, and fifteen times as powerful as nicotine as a contact poison. It Is harmless to warm blooded animals, but keep it away from gold fish. Both pyrethrum and rotenone are Inclined to l» instable, which means that they lose their power under certain conditions. in purchasing trade preparations of these materials inquire about this and be assured that your product will not lose its effectiveness before you get a chance to use it. Nicotine and arsenic are still used in the garden effectively. A pound of arsenic powder to ten pounds of gypsum Is probably still the best check of the striped beetle for cucumber and squash vines, or for other caterpillars and beetles. It will burn the leaves, however, if you apply too thickly.
