the Journal with the following inter

"At Eureka the miners are quite

that tributers will only commence
work at 8 o'clock in the morning and

"At Hamilton only few miners are
working but they are doing well.

"The Pauls, father and sons, who

Uses OF the Eucalyptus.

A gentleman who lives in the upper
part OF town informs US that his place
was infested with mice, which had
become veritable nuisance. He
gathered load of fresh eucalyptus
leaves and spread them over his base
ment. The mice departed. and not a
trace OF the vermin remained. And
more, there are no fleas and no moths
on the premises. As he has water
tank, it was supposed he would be
troubled more or less with mosquitoes.
But it is not SO. Mosquitoes do not
love the eucalyptus any more than do
the mice and moths.
We know of one house that was
overrun with moths not long ago.
Last Spring when the carpets were
cleaned. thin layer OF eucalyptus
leaves were evenly spread on the floor
beneath the ordinary carpet lining.
There have been no moths in that
house since.-Chino. CAL, Champion.

WEST VIRGINIA AGRICULTURE.

1t is unfortunate that the report for
December of Secretary Garvin, of the
State Board of Agriculture, is not COM
plete because of the failure of the
greater number of counties to make re-
port to the Board. AS it stands there
is not half enough data upon which to
base a comprehensive review of the
crop situation, although Secretary Gar
vim does the best he can with the ma
terial at hand. Reviewing the situation
he says:
1.-THE favorable weather conditions
through November and up to the present
is perhaps, unprecedented. There has been
sufficient moisture to terminate the seed,
and the temperature of the weather such,
that wheat has made almost continuous
growth The physical condition of the
soil is good, and the extended root growth
the plant has made will lessen the liability
of freezing out, which is frequently the
case, owing to our changeable winter
climate.
Among the last reports received, only
two mention the Hessian fly as doing any
damage 1t is a fact pretty well
established, that early sown wheat suffers
the most and some remedial measure will
have to be resorted to, in order to lessen
the damage caused from this source. Some
of the precautionary measures recon-
mended are: burning the stubble after the
crop is harvested, and burn the straw after
threshing-which would be an expensive
measure in West Virginia, and also sow
the seed later in the season. Early prep
aration of the SOIL however, should be the
rule; that a fine moist seed bed may be
in readiness to receive the seed at the
proper time.
early sown wheat will stand the vicis-
STUDIES of the winter better than the late,
but whether the question of evading the
fly, VIII likely result in less damage than
that of the plant freezing out in winter,
is the thing to be determined
Reports concerning the condition of
live stock are likewise meagre, but suf-
fciently widely distributed to give
general idea of the condition in the
State. Notwithstanding that the drouth
continued late into the fall the weather
since has been so favorable that pas
lures have revived and stock is in good

OUR IMPERIAL RANK.

OF course, the imperial administra-
tion of Emperor William of Canton
could not get along without that other
necessary appurtenance of imperial
government, an Imperial Bank-a la
our British cousins, who have the Bank
of England.
The American bank selected some
time ago to serve this purpose is, of
course, powerful Wall street depos-
itory, and behind it are the kings of
finance, the Vanderbilts, the Morgans.
the Sugar Trust, the Standard Oil
Trust and other contributors to the
imperial corruption fund of 1896 gath
cred by Mr.. Hanna, Imperial Boss.
This favored institution is the National
City Bank of New York, whose de-
posits are now about one-seventh of
the total deposits of the sixty-four
banks in the New York Clearing House
Association, and its loans are about
one-eighth of the total loans of these
banks.
This gigantic institution is now to be
made, by official order of Hon. Lyman

of the Treasury, the successor of the
United States Bank, destroyed by Pres
ident Jackson at the behest Of the
American people. The steps by which

perial Bank Of the Nation are thus
shown by the New York World:
First Secretary Gage made it the
agent of the transfer Of the $4,000 600
he paid Spain for the privilege of up
setting the Filipino republic which he
had permitted to be established, and
making a war of conquest in the is
lands. This was very profitable
transaction.
"Second-About year ago the Ma
tional City Bank began to dream OF
making itself the successor of the
United States Bank. AS first step
suitable building on suitable site, the
outward and visible sign of power and
dominion, was necessary. By 'pri-
vate arrangement Mr.. Mckinley sold
the National City Bank the most COM
handing site in financial New York,
the Custom House, for 1926, 900. The
value of the site, according to compe-
tent experts, basing their judgment on
other sales in the same district, was
about $5OOO,O0O
.Third-Secretary Gage now pro-
poses to make the National City Bank
the sole depository and distributor OF
all internal revenue receipts, the gush-
ing fountain for the distribution of
government wealth. These deposits
will be about $500, 900 year, ac-
cording to Mr. Cages estimates. AS
the treasury is in good condition, that
will mean an average of S300000OO or
$4OOOO,OOO at the very least for which
the National City Bank will not pay
one cent of interest. This vast sum
of the peoples money it will either
loan out at the high Wall street rates
or will distribute among other banks
to which the Secretary may extend the
same favor"
Our contemporary goes on to show
that since its selection as the Imperial
Bank and as the arbiter Of finance the
concern arranged early in this month
to multiply its capital stock by ten,
thus giving it double the capital stock
of the next largest banks in the coun-
try. There are rumors of consolida-
lions, of the establishment Of branch
banks, &C., &C., &C., but all these plans
are still for the future.
Shades of "Old Hickory" Jackson,
who smashed the United States Bank!
What do the American people think OF
the latest departure of our imperial
administration from American princi-
pies to form a still closer, an actual Of
fetal partnership with Plutocracy-
the money kings, the financial manipu-
lators of Wall street?
By the means proposed, by the off1c-
ial support of the United States treas
ury, the stockholders of this bank COM
prising the kings of finance in Wall
street, will thus be enabled to abso-
lutely dominate the public and private
finance of the nation!
Vale republican government-our

1t Is a matter Of serious 'regret that
full reports of agricultural conditions
in every county are not forthcoming to

the lack of data to work upon, that
body is very seriously Handicapped in
it's efforts for the betterment of agri-
cultural conditions and the value of its

alton that should be remedied as soon
as possible in the interests of the ag-

this end the farmers institutes of the

their earliest attention with view to
aiding the board and increasing its ia
cilities. Agriculture is one of the most
important sources of West Virginia S

be brought fully up to date.

experience, for one day, of widower
whose marriage is subject to the APP

count of the eccentricities in the will
of his deceased parents. He marries
an actress whom he introduces into
his household as a governess for his
twin daughters, who themselves are of
a manageable age. The complications
which grow out of this act of his COM

tain, and become so thoroughly con-
fusing that no two characters in the
play know what they are about until
the final denouement in the last act.
