General John W. Foster, ex-Secre-
 tary of State, was criticised because in
 his Century of American Diplomacy"
 he says "the United States is" and
 not "the United States are" But he
 is able to make good defense Of his
 use of the United States as a singular noun. He points out that because in the Federal Constitution plural verb
 is employed is no reason why it should be used to-day. In considering the phraseology of the Constitution we are to bear in mind the time and cir cumstances under which that instru- ment was written. The delegates to the convention which framed the first organic code of this nation came to- gether as the representatives of thirt- teen independent States, which had formed coalition or league against the mother country, but had not per manently parted with any portion of their sovereignty, and still possessed and exercised the right to make their own war levies, to impose their own taxes and customs duties. and regulate foreign commerce. But MT. Foster finds evidence that the authors of the Constitution themselves did not uni formly use the plural in connection with the United States. There is the phrase controversies to which the United States shall be a party" not Shall be parties"
 The idea of the unity of the States which was emphasized by the war of the rebellion is a reason for the singu- lar form of the verb Statesmen of great prominence have freely used each form. In the Supreme court decisions the use of the singular, which does not often appear in early times, Is be- coming more frequent nowadays. For merly treaties used the plural verb, but in the treaty of peace with Spain the term United States" is treated in the singular. It has been treated similarly in other important official documents. MT. Foster thus sums up "rhe result of my examination is that while the earlier practice in referring to the United States usually followed the formula Of the Constitution, our public men of the highest authority gave their countenance by occasional use to the singular verb and pronoun: has been toward such use and that to- day, among public and professional men it has become the prevailing prac- tice."

post shall have reception ward for the admission of all fever cases and an iso- lation ward for the treatment of cases
 which prove to be yellow fever. Each ward shall be made mosquito proof by
 wire netting over doors and windows, a
 ceiling of wire netting at height of
 seven feet above the floor, and mos
 quito bars over the beds. There should
 be no place in it where mos
 quitoes can seek refuge These rules are adopted for the protection of troops from the bites of mosquitoes: the unl-
 versal use of mosquito bars in all bar
 racks and especially in all hospitals,
 and also in field service when practical young mosquitoes, commonly known as | wgglers. by the use of petroleum on
 the water where they breed. The mos | quito does not fly far and seeks shelter when the wind blows so it Is usually | the case that each community breeds it's own supply of mosquitoes in water barrels, fire buckets, post holes, old cans, cesspools or undraned puddles. An application of one ounce of kerosene to each fifteen square feet of water, twice month, will destroy not only all the young, but the adult females who come to lay their eggs.
 As the doctors are also after mos- quitoes because they spread malaria the mosquito hunt bids fair to be lively un- til 1t is discovered that the mosquitoes do not spread yellow fever and malaria.

Las, Love.

Last Love. The first flower of the spring is not so fair UT bright as one the ripe midsummer
 brings. The first faint note the forest warbler
 sings Is not as rich with feeling or so rare AS when, full master of his art, the air browns in the liquid sea of song he filings Like silver spray from beak, and breast
 and wings. The artists earliest effort, wrought with
 care, The bard's first ballad. written in hls
 tears, Set. by his later toll, seems poor and tame, And into nothing dwindes at the test. So with the passions of maturer years. Let those who will demand the first fond
 flame, Give me the hearts last love. for that is
 best. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

SUGAR BETS.

Extensive tests are being made in the
Bitter Root valley in raising sugar beets.
and the results are proving to be most
satisfactory. A gentleman we'll informed
upon the subject says that the condi-
TORS in Flathead county are. if any
thing, more favorable for the raising of
sugar beets than in the Bitter Root.
Upon this subject the last issue of the
Ravalli County Democrat says:
"Thos. Loynd, the sugar beet expert
sent here bv the American Rect Sugar
company to take charge of the tests to
be made in this valley with sugar beet
culture this year, is busy completing the
work of the tests. He is more than
pleased with the result.
Saturday the men finished harvesting
a small patch of about an acre of beets
on the Corvallis division of the Stock
Farm which returned yield of twenty
six tons to the acre. These beets, &C
cording to the figures of the analysis re-
ceived from the Utah Sugar company
contained II per cent. Of saccharine

matter and their percentage of purity
was 80.
From the first an accurate account
has been kept of the cost of raising and
harvesting the beets. Although they
are merely to be hauled out to the diff
ferent ranch divisions and used as feed
for the milk COWS, Mr.. Loynd is having
the beets topped the same os they would
if they were to be hauled to a sugar fac
tory, doing this SO as to determine the
exact tonnage and the exact cost of all
the work connected with preparing the
beets for market. The actual cost of
producing those twenty six tons of beets
was $40. No allowance is made for
rental in these figures. Even at only So
per ton-and beets of such high per
centage of sugar and purity would bring
considerably more than IS per ton the
product from that one acre would amount
to Sl3O. That would be pretty nice
thing to get started in the Bitter Root.
"Mr. Oxnard has always worried
about the month of October said Mr..
Loynd in speaking of the prospects here,
but he surely cannot find any fault with
this October. We have let our bee.s lie
on the ground over night. often tive or

covering them up and none of them have
