TOTAL FX'LIPSE OF THE SUN I • When the sun rises in Northern Minnesota, northeast of Red Lake, on the morning of I January 24, 1925, its disk will’ be covered by that of the moon, I passing directly between earth I and sun. The shadow will sweep,, in a path 100 miles wide, east! and south across the Great j Lakes, Northern Pennsylvania. ’ New York. Connecticut - and j America finally at Nantucket., then swinging northward and glancing off the earth between the Shetland and Faroe Islands at sunset. As the sun is blotted out, you behold a black disk radiating ravs of light. Immediately cutside the disk is a shallow rim‘of brilliant red, the Chromosphere, and outside that is the wonderful pearly white corona. Its light is so delicate that under all ciretitnstanres except the total eclipse it is in--1 visible. In the brief moments astronomers must lack hard, and nc tice much. For possibly a | month beforehand everything I will have been^rehearsed many [times, like a fire drill or sham battle. At the last minute the procedure will go like clockwork, provided only the weather is clear. A United States army airplane will race the shadow of the moon nearly 400 miles across New York State during the eclipse for the purpose of taking photographs with a specially designed camera. —o LEFT EAR IS KEEN ER i Left ears are becoming mare efficient than those on the right side of the head, according to a professor of Yale Medical school. He attributes this to the fact that Americans use the left ear almost exclusively for hearing over the telephone receivers. Although both ears are of equal size, constant use of the left ear n telephoning has mafe it more efficient thap the right one. O T $25 Per Acre In Walton County, Florida you can buy good land near Pensarosa, a new town site on a large bay adjoining the Gulf of Mexico, east of the city of Pensacola. This large estate which has been recently purchased by the Florida Realty Trust, for subdivision, on account of the fertility of the soil "and the beautiful location of the new town of Pensarosa, is just being placed on the market, thus giving an opportunity to get in on the ground floor, to buy land and lots at the beginners price, providing you invest while the proposition is new, The railroad fare from Chicago, round trip, is -less than $75.00. The time required for going one way is 30 hoiirs. The first excursion from Chicago by this company will be the middle part of January. For further information write or phone; Omar F.

FARMERS CONTRQL GARLIC The wild garlic and onion eradication work by the “culture method” as advocated by Purdue University, hAs proven a success in Crawford County, County Agent Copeland reports. Three demonstrations were started in fall of 1922 and each man co-op-erating in putting on the demonstrations, declares that 90% of the garlic on their farms has been destroyed by this method. One mah when asked what he thought of this method of killing garlic, replied, “I would not plow my garlic field at all this fall if I did not think there was anything in this method of getting rid of garlic.” These men think the extra breaking of the ground in the late fall costs about $3.00 to $3.50 per acre per

The culture method has been clearly demonstrated to be the only practical method of killing garlic on a field basis. o Woman's Case Amazes Syracuse A business man's wife suffered, for two years with sore, watery eyes, which pained day and night.
