nesday evening.... This community
was saddened last Monday morning
at the news of the death of Mrs.
Walter Lyle after a suffering of long
duration. Cora Estella Hall was
born July 22, 1851, in Jones county,
Iowa, and died June 11, 1917, at
Allen, Neb., at the age of G5 years,
10 months and 19 days. She was
married to Walter Lyle on Septem
ber 7, 189G, in Chicago. During the
following year they came to Nebras
ka and lived in this community until
a few years ago when they went to
THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1917.
Minnesota. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle were
pioneers in the hotel industry in both
Waterbury and Allen and Mrs. Lyle
formed many strong and lasting
friendships during that time. Hav
ing suffered from the aflliction which
caused her death, it was deemed
wise to consult a specialist and she
was taken to Sioux City, Iowa. It
being of a very serious nature, and
no hope for complete recovery, she
was later brought to Allen to the
home of her daughter, Mrs. P. P.
Gaughran, where she might spend
the remainder of her life with loved
ones, who most tenderly cared for
her in her suffering hours. Those
who who remain to meurn her loss,
most of whom were present nt the
last, are: her husband, and children;
J. O., of Russell, Minnesota: Mrs.
P. P. Gaughran, of Allen, Nebraska;
Bert F. of Tracy, Minnesota: Leo N.,
of Dickinson, N. D.; Mrs. George
A. Nordyke, of Sioux City, Iowa:
Tom W., of Tracy, Minnesota; Earl
W., of Sioux City, Iowa; and Wil
liam A., of Hartington, Nebraska.
Also four sisters and one brother.
Some weeks before her death she
expressed the wish that she might
keep the promise made to her moth
er and prepare to meet her Master
and Savior. According to her wish
she was received iuto-the Lutheran
church of this city into whose fellow
ship she was most cordially received.
Soon afterward she was told of the
seriousness of her aflliction. No one
will ever know the suffering of the
closing days, but her call to the bet
tor life relieved her of the pains of
that which is mortal. Into His hands
we commend her spirit, and express
our heartfelt sympathy to the be
reaved family in their sorrow and
commend them to the faith in which
their mother left them.

M. E. Church Notes.
F. J. Aucock, Pastor.
The special service and social held
last Wednesday was a success. A
good number assembled and entered
heartily in the devotional service.
Tho address of the Rev. Williams, of
Wakefield, was greatly enjoyed.
After that the social gathering of
the members and friends of the
church was entered into with a good
spirit. The refreshments were pro
vided by the pastor and his wife.
The Ladies' Aid meets Friday
with Mrs. R. E. Evans.
The fourth and last quarterly
conference will probably be held on
July 3. This is not only the lust
conference of the year but also the
last at which Dr. Hosman will pre
side. His six years administration
of the Norfolk district has been emi
nently successful. He has lifted it
it from a lowly position until it now
ranks as one of the efficient districts
of Methodism. It would be a nice
thing if every official member at
least, make an effort to meet him at
the quarterly conference. Further
announcement of this will be given
next week.

SODIUM FLUOIUDK KOlt I.ICB
Farmers' Bulletin No. 801, recent
ly issued by tho United States De
partment of Agriculture, recom
mends the use of sodium fluoride
for the treatment of chicken lice.
When used in powder form, it is
sprinkled into the feathers, about
the fluff, underneath the wings, on
the neck, and on tho under part of
the body. It may also be used as a
dip, in which case one ounce of the
commercial powder is dissolved in
one gallon of water. The entire
body of the fowl, excepting the head,
is immersed in this solution. One
Eound will treat 100 fowls, its cost
eing 40 to 50 cents a pound.
Heretofore, sodium fluoride has
been used effectively in eradicating
cockroaches, and it was only recently
accepted as good treatment for the
eradifttion of the chicken louse.
It ia ry effective, as it is said to
kill si'i of the seven species of lice
which uifest chickens.

Orchardists who have not yet ap
plied the third spray of the year,
"the three weeks' spray," which is
usually applied three weeks after
the petals have fallen, are advised
to do so at once by horticulture spe
cialists at the University Farm. This
spray is designed to control scab,
blotch, and coddling moth, and it is
essential that every bit of exposed
leaf and fruit surface be thoroly cov
ered with a thin film spray mixture.
This irilxture consists of U gallons
of lime Biilphur and 2 to 2J pounds
of arsenate of lead paste (or 1 to H
pounds of arsenate of lead powder)
in 50 gallons of water. Further in
formation will be sent upon applica
tion to the Department of Horticul
ture, University Farm, Lincoln,
Nebraska.
POTATO INSECTS AND DISEASES
Many inquiries regarding the con
trol of potato insects and diseases
are being received from all parts of
the state at the University Farm.
For the control of early blight, the
use of Bordeaux mixture is recom
mended. This is made by dissolving
A to 5 pouhds of bluestone (copper
sulphate) in a gallon of water and
diluting to make 25 gallons. This is
thoroly mixed with another solution
made by dissolving 5 pounds of slak
ed stone lime in 25 gallons of water,
thus making 50 gallons of Bordeaux
mixture.
Paris green (1 pound to 50 gallons
of Bordeaux mixture or ivater) is
recommended for the control of leaf
eating insects. Further informa
tion relative to spraying potatoes
will be found in Emergency Biilletin
No. 10, which will be sent free upon
request to the Extension Service,

I'ICKLED PORK
Since becoming a luxury, many
persons will make more use of
pickled pork, a staple food in the
past. When this pork is sufficiently
freshened, dipped in corn meal,
and fried at a moderate heat until it
is crisp, it makes an excellent dish.
It should not be greasy nnd should
be served with plenty of fresh or
canned vegetables.

the making and operation of appara
