mitted last month. It covers a period 
of one year, ending April 24. Many 
improvements have been made in the 
cemetery in the last year, at a cost of 
$2,464.08. Receipts amounted to $2,- 
782.13. It is probable that more work 
was done in the cemetery during 1911- 
12 than in any previous year, as the 
grounds have been extended and greatly 
improved. Driveways, curbs and gut- 
ters were made. The sexton’s house 
was enlarged and all the bridges in the 
grounds have been repaired and paint- 
ed. 
Reports at the annual meeting of the 
Ottumwa association, Ottumwa, la., 
held May 6 last, show the financial 
condition of the organization is very 
good. The total receipts for the year 
were $6,753.81, and the disbursements 
for maintenance, $3,753.37. The perpet- 
ual care fund is now approximately 
$10,000. There is a fund of $7,000 for 
maintenance. By resolutions passed by 
the trustees, no monuments in the sin- 
gle grave section or on half lots in 
section twelve, will be permitted. The 
object is to prevent any marring of the 
appearance of the cemetery. Head 
stones will be permitted, however, pro- 
viding they do not exceed one foot in 
width and two feet in height.

Don’t disfigure your roads and gutters by hoeing out the weeds, use 
HERBICIDE to kill them. 
It keeps your roads looking better and costs less in the end. 
Invaluable for Parks, Cemeteries and Large Estates. 
HERBICIDE is easily applied— Give it a fair trial. 
One application of 
HERBICIDE The Weed Exterminator 
will kill the weeds on any kind of road and by killing the soil fertility insures 
destroying all forms of vegetation for several years. 
(Before using HERBICIDE) « 
Mr. F. A. Barnes, Supt. Hope Cemetery, Worcester, Mass., writes: 
HERBICIDE is the slickest thing for killing weeds I ever saw. I was so well pleased 
with it that I want you to send me two casks of “HERBICIDE” as soon as pos- 
sible. I shall not be content until I have used it on all my avenues and walks. 
Many other Park and Cemetery Superintendents are just as enthusiastic over HERBICIDE 
as Mr. Barnes. 
One gallon of Herbicide and forty gallons of water applied with any kind of sprinkling de- 
vice will keep 200 feet of a 5-foot path clean of weeds for years. Sold in 
S gallon casks $5.50 10 gallon casks $10.00 
25 gallon casks $21.50 48 gallon bbls. $35.00, F.O.B. New York City
