A more recently developed and more economical' treatment which 1s now recommended by the Expertment Station is the use of "Improved This is a dry dust treatment similar. to the copper carbonate, is applied in the same manner, but is found to be more effective and costs approximately one-third as much. One pound of "Improved Ceresan" which costs seventy cents, is sufficient to treat thirty-two bushels of seed. Ask your druggist for this seed treatment.

This includes county and city treasurers treasurers of school boards and of independent school districts; in fact every public official who receives and disburses public funds. We wonder.

how many of those persons handling publie -funds in this county are following the dictates of the law regarding publication of funds received and funds paid out. The law says it must be done. Are such persons above the law? A dangerous position, to say the least, if they think they are.

THE JOHN BAUGHMAN HOMESTEAD Under a good picture of the country home of Dr. W. N. Craig and family, out on the Somerset road, the Louisville Times of last week printed the following interesting history of it. It is the old John Baughman home, which for years after his death was occupied by the late Mr.

M. S. Baughman and family: This Colonial structure on Route 27 two miles south of Stanford was built in 1848 by John Baughman, a grandson of Jacob Baughman, a Kentucky pioneer killed by Indians in 1782. The old dwelling, which replaced a log house John Baughman first built on the site, is now the summer home of Dr. Will N.

Craig and Mrs. Craig. The house has eight rooms, is built of brick and has a porch with four massive columns of the same material rounded and plastered. The double front doors are framed with narrow, lateral windows of glass, with designs of frosted etching. The front rooms, downstairs and up, are spacious and have very high ceilings.

The window sills are of limestone, quarried from nearby cliffs. The window sashes are of walnut, and the floors are of six-inch, tongue-andgrooved white ash. The stairs in the hall are winding. From the diningroom, in an ell, stairs lead to the "boys' room." The fireplaces in the front rooms have tall, broad mantels, with ornamentation consistent with the built-in presses on each side. The presses extend from the fire-place to the walls and ceiling and have paneled Similar paneling extends from the windows to the floor.

The original fireplace in the kitchen, four feet wide, has been preserved. A beautiful avenue of maple, locust and poplar trees leads to the house. HAS FINE STORE AT DANIA, FLORIDA. Russell Brown, who is. here from Fort.
