8 THE MOTH CATCHER AGAIN.

We have received a letter from Mr..
S. A. Haseltine, inventor of the moth
catcher that is now being SO extern
sively advertised, defending his in
vention against the attacks that
have been made on it, and asking
that we ''set ourselves right with
the farmers who read this paper.
He also sends us four testimonials
from North Carolina people. It
may be trUe that these were furnished
in good faith, but they do not o
vince Us of the merits of the moth
catcher. When one tries any So
called remedy and conditions seem
TO improve after it's use, he is ready
TO furnish a testimonial. The thought
full man realizes, no viewer, that a
little investigation is always needed
to prove the improvement due to the
use of the preparation, and not TO
other conditions. Give any kind of
medical treatment TO q hundred ordi-
nary sick people you can then get
testimonials from at least ten of
them, for in the natural order of
things that many of them would get
we'll anyhow, and asoribe their re-
covery TO the use of the drug used,
without regard TO its merit. What
the prospective buyer should always
seek TO learn. is whether the inven-
ton or preparation is 8 o scientifically
constructed or compounded as to
give it the merit claimed for it, and
whether it succeeds, not in the
limited number of cases from which
testimonials can be obtained, but in
the majority of cases. The limbless
cotton men Haunted testimonials in
our face; the Lipps Process agents
have secured many testimonials the
patent medicine vendors have testi-
monials galore. We know a man
who gave an ailing negro some pills,
and the negro, getting better, gave a
glowing testimonial to the value of
the prescription the pills we're made
of plain breadI
So instead of buying moth catcners
or secret process fertilizer recipes
because men here and there write
endorsements of them, let Us learn
from some authority whether or not
these preparations are so scientific
ally constructed or compounded as
TO make it reasonable that they
should do the things claimed for
them. Then let as see if in ACTUAL
practice, in the majority of cases,
these things are really done.
With this object in view, we have
secured from Mr.. Franklin Sherman,
Jr., the eficiens Entomologist of she
Department. of Agriculture, an IN
biased and aut 1oritative opinion as
to the merits of Mr.. Haseltine's in
vention. The sum and substance of
MIR. Sherman's article pu oil shed in
full on page y is that while the
moth catcher may p )ssibly prove
useful in some instances, he would
not think of taking the risk of buy
ing one If he we're a farmer.
We Q no reason, therefore, for
revising our opinion of the matter.
While an arrangement has been sug-
gested by which we could sell the
traps TO our readers at q profit of
more than 100 per cent, we cannot
become a party TO any such scheme.
The general opinion of agricultural
authorities seems to uphold fully the
views Of Mr.. Sherman.

More Railroad News.

The Martinsburg World Monday
contained the following concerning the
extension of the B. & 0. low-grade
road:
The present indications are that
the Baltimore and Ohio low grade
freight line now being constructed
west of this city will be extended on
to Harper's Ferry. For time very
little attention has been paid to that
part of the proposed line, but now
renewed interest has been taken in the
survey.
The first of next week surveying
party will start out over the line to
relocate it. Although no word has
been received here as to the construc-
ton of the line being authorized, this
is taken to mean that it is almost GER
tain that it will be constructed.
1t is also stated that Clement & Co.,
the contractors who are building the
North Mountain end of the line, are
figuring on bids for the section be-
tween Wilson's and Harper's Ferry
The survey for this end of the line
also follows the Potomac river for
good part of the way, touching on the
edge of Shepherdstown.
Major Goldsborough's corps of en-
gineers now located at Harpers Ferry
are going over some lines in that
neighborhood.

The honor was fairly won and was
most worthily bestowed.
At the conclusion of the exercises
the graduates were heartily congratu-

tiful flowers and other presents were
given them. Though the occasion was
happy one, there was at the same
time feeling Of sadness that the class
of 1902, in which were some Of the
most popular students of the college,
were to sever their connection with
the school where they had labored so
long. The graduates have the sim

The humorous side of school life
and of commencement time was pre-
sented Saturday afternoon in the
the class day exercises. A platform
was erected for the speakers on the
east side of the buildings, while the
audience occupied chairs-those who
were fortunate enough to secure them
on the campus. The class colors,
pink and steel, were much in evidence.
The productions were bright, and re-
plete with information to those who
understood their yelled (?) illusions.

The attendance at the Decoration
day services in Salem Friday was the
largest I'm years at least 1000 people
participating. The observance Of the
day becomes more general with each
recurring anniversary, and as the
nations heroes become reduced.
one Of the most gratifying features
of the day was to see over 100 old
veterans in line, and 1870 we're counted
as they marched out of the cemetery.
An immense gathering assembled at
the armury Friday evening to enjoy
the Memorial day services that had
been arranged by the G.. A. r. Post.
The platform and hall had been dec

of the meeting. A selection by the
Salem Military band and invocation
by Comrade Rev. H. A. Ketchum was
followed by a recitation, "The Wound

Miss Desart. The national hymn,
America" was sung by the audience,
and Chauncey Ohmart gave a recita-
tion. The Stalwart male quartet, com
posed of Messrs, Epley, Wenger Sny-
der and Baker, sang REST Soldier,

The address of the evening was Civ
en- by Governor Geer, and in introduc-
| ing the chief executive Of the state,
Chairman Barnes remarked that the
committee had been fortunate In Sc
curing TO deliver the address "our gov
ernor," who was an orator Of national
reputation. The governor was warm
ly received, as he also was when he
reached the hall shortly after the ex-

the reuniting OF the nation, TO the ce

Grams were warmly praised for their

when the speaker made the statement

as did the record Of the Second Ore

applauded heartily. The Indian Wai
Veterans received due credit for theiI
faithful and sacrificing services in the

had been noted In the consideration by
the government of the claims for com

could not be too severely censured. In
the course of his remarks, Governor
Geer expressed as his opinion, that ar

adopted, universally, as a means O
adjusting international differences.

Many Of us find life hard and full of

from the pains and ravages of bodily
ailments and diseases, and maintain

spondent, irritable, sleepless, be as
sured you are becoming physically
impaired and weakened. If the re-
laxed and sluggish action of the eX-

and body with poison, producing
