Home Light & Water Co. Potato prices last Saturday "reached their highest point in the history of the country. This was reported by the Federal Bureau of Markets in Chicago, after new potatoes had advanced $2 a hundredweight over Fri day's figures and old potatoes had moved up 70 to 75 cents. New potatoes sold in Chicago Saturday at $11 and $12 a hun dredweight, which iigures out around $7.20 a bushel. One cav of old potatoes sold at $9.25 a hundredweight, which is at the rate Gf $6.75 to $7 a bushel. Old potatoes arc reported in small quantity and new potatoes aro the chief supply. At these Iigures most of the potatoes on the market will cost the grocer around 18 cents a pound, it is estimated, and grocers in high priced neighborhoods will retail them around 20 cents a pound. The principal reason for prices reaching this peak, according to the Bureau of Markets, is that this is a period between produc tion coming into the market. Shipments from Florida aro duo and Louisiana shipments are dwindling. Only sixteen cars of new and old potatoes ar rived in Chicago last Saturday compared to the usual arrivals of sixty to seventy-five, The highest previous price of pota toes on record is $8.50 to $4 a bushel for old stock in the early spring of 1917 Ex.

In tlio room below her thrco aunts wero gathered In solemn council and tlio girl frowned to herself at the knowledge. "Why don't they let me alone?" she thought, wistfully. "If evcryono hns a special work, as Aunt Phyllis says why don't they let mo find mliio for myself?" As there seemed no answer to these troublesomo questions Cyrllla turned. While sho still stood Irresolute Aunt Deborah's volco called to her, and with smoldering rebellion In her dark eyes Cyrllla went obediently down. As sho entered the somber library two pairs of, spectacled eyes regarded her fresh young beauty accusingly. "Cyrllla," sold Aunt Deborah, who was tho oldest of the aunts, and the Indomitable leader, "have you decided yet what vocation you will pursue?" v"No, Aunt Deborah." 'Well, Cyrllla, as you seem so unable to decide for yourself, and It's time you were accomplishing something, your mints and I have concluded to make n cliolce for you." She paused expectantly, but the girl listening re spectfully mado no effort to speak. "We think It best for you to toke tip dressmaking you seem such a homo body" she added In a tone that set tled the matter. "What right have you folks got to plan out my llfo?"sho demanded pas sionately. "Because I've always obeyed you, you think you can drive me now Into a work I detest. You won't give me time to decide for my self, you won't trust me. It's It's not playing fair!" Cyrllla's voice broke In a defiant sob. The council of -three" was properly shocked, but It was gentlo Aunt Phyl lis who spoke. "The child Is right," she said softly. "We ought to trust her and let her And her own path" Deborah Meade shoV her youngest sister n withering glnnce. In the refuge of her room Cyrllla sobbed despairingly. "But I won't bo n dressmaker. I won't I won't 1" sobbed Cyrllla rebel llously. Slipping soffly downstairs for her wraps 'Cyrllla, passing the library door, caught the sound of a forbidden name her mother's name on Aunt Phyllis' lips. She paused eagerly: she knew so llttlo of tho mother of whom' she had been bereft when n child. "It doesn't pay to be too hard, Deb orah," 4unt Phyllis was saying. "You tanow how It worked with with Cice ly," she ndded bravely. 1 So once, long ago, her mother had rebelled at Aunt Deborah's rigid reign I That was why, then, they nev er spoke of her. Absorbed In her thoughts, sho had reached the crowded thoroughfares of tho city before she realized how far she had gone. She would get nn office Job. Any thing was better than being Aunt Deb orah's dressmaking pupil. Then It happened. When sho opened her eyes Cyrllla found herself In a little white hospital bed, with a nurse smiling down at her. "Where am I?" asked Cyrllla, bewil dered. "Xou fell, 'dear, crossing tho street don't you remember?" "You've sprained your arm, but to morrow we're going to send you home," smiled the nurse. "Wo found your nnme and address in your hand bag and have notified your folks. Now go to sleep, dearie." 'When sho awoke, a huge bunch of dcwy-petnllcd violets was on the stnnd by her bedsjde. Cyrllla's eyes filled with qilck tears. So tho aunts did care for her a little, after all I "Awake, dear?" Cyrllla, admiring the violets, had not heard the nurse enter. "Aren't they lovely?" sho cried, In dicating the flowers. "I didn't know my aunts cared for roe like that," she added, tremulously. Nurse Cray smiled enigmatically. "Wouldn't you like to thank the giv er of them?" sho asked. "I came to tell you, you have a caller." Cyrllla, watching the nurse depart, wondered If Aunt Phyllis had really come to see her. Then tlio door opened and Nurse Gray re-entered, followed by a tall young roan with n pair of anxious brown eyes. "Mat, this Is tho victim of your careless driving, Miss Dale," re proached Nurse Gray gently. "My brother, 'Mr. Gray, Miss Dale." '''Can you forgive mo?" Cyrllla looked up lito a pair of pleading brown eyes. "It was my fault," she said quickly. "Please don't blame yourself for my stupid blunder. I shall be all right soon nurse says I'm to go homo to morrow." Then, shyly, "Thank you so much for the violets. I-I never had anything so beautiful." Gray, looking down Into her lovely, wistful face,- vowed many things to himself. Aloud he said : Tm glad you like them, because there's a lot more coming." Then, "You must let me atone some way," he begged. This he did so effectually that six mouths later Cyrllla, as Mrs. Mat Gray, found her long-drearaed-of voca tlon for life making home beautiful and happyfor thaprinc ,. Poison Poison bran bait is being used successfully throughout tho in fested areas of Missouri in the control of the army worm. Va rious county agents are report ing to the Extension Service or the Missouri College ol Agri culture the success of the treat ment. In St. Louis County tlio agent gave demonstrations to tho farmers as rapidly as possi-. bio, mixing a small amount of bait and scattering before the worms, letting the farmers soo the results. This was .sufficient to encourage them to complete the work on their own farms. Atonoof these demonstrations as many as fifty worms were counted on a square foot in a timothy meadow. Tho bait method, this agent reports, is killing all worms where it is ap plied and cost less than fifty cents an acre for material. By using in time the whole crop can bo saved, which means sev eral thousand dollars to the county. In Mississippi County it was found that when tho poison bait was put out late in tho evening it was most effective. A deep furr6w was plowed in advance of the worms, turning the fur row towards them, thus making a barrier. The first row of poi son bran was scattered in tho bottom af the furrow and at in tervals of four to six feet and on tho outside of the furrow two more rows of the poison' bait was scattered. The advancing worms were chocked for a short time by the first furrow. On finding the moist bran they eat a part of it. Those not killed by the bait in tho first row of. defense will probably cat some of tho poison in tlio second, and the same is true of the third. An attempt is made to remove as nearly as possible all vegetation so that in their travels the. worms will find nothing to eat except poison bait. Going over tho field shortly after the bait was spread it was found that the worms wero killed. i .. C. A. FULDNER, OPT. D. of tlio firm of PULDNEU & COM PANY, jUmiim Blilg, HOG N.

Doctor Leonard Haseman, of the Missouri Agricultural Ex periment Station at Columbia, gives the State Board of Agri culture two concise treatments for two of the commonest troubles with rose bushes. One is for "rose mildew" and the other for "rose slug." The "rose mildew" is almost certain to develop on "roses dur ing a wet, rainy season. It is a fungus, a parasitic plant which sends its feeding root-like struc tures into the tissue of the rose leaf. To control the mildew, secure from a drug store a small quan tity of ordinary powdered sul phur and sift lightly over "dis eased bushes, Some prefer to use the lime sulpher solution, at the rate of one part of the com mercial solution to about fifty or sixty parts of water, yet where but a few bushes are to be treated it is much simpler to se cure a dime's worth of sulpher and sift it on the foliage. The "rose slug" recognized by little gray patches appearing on rose bushes permitting the veins of the leaves to show through. Spray or dust the4 bushes with arsenate of lead to destroy the small green slug. A few days delay in putting on the poison may ruin the foliage. Simply sift the arsenate of, lead powder on as you do the sul phur. If you have a handy sprayer, use a tablespoonful of arsenate of lead to a gallon of water, and spray. NOTICE!
