demonstrating what man can be and
do. This is the moral of the Plutarchs,
the Cudworths. the Tennemanns, who
give us the story OF men or OF opinions
Any history of philosophy fortifies my
faith by showing me that what high
dogmas had supposed were the rare
and late fruit of a cumulative culture,
and only now possible to some recent
Kant or Fichte, were the prompt i'm
provisations of the earliest inquirers;
of Parmenides, Heraclitus and Ken
ophanes.
In view of these students the soul
seems to whisper: There is better
way than this indolent learning Of an
other. Leave me alone. DO not teach
me out Of Leibnitz or Schelling. and
shall find it all out myself"
Still more do we owe to biography
the fertilization Of our hope. If you
would know the power Of character,
see how much you would impoverish
the world If you could take clean out
Of history the lives of Milton. Shake

It Is reported that the striped cucum'
Der beetle was one Of the causes OF
damage to the Oklahoma melon crop
last summer. In localities where such
was the case early preparations should
be made for disposing Of this insect

In addition to the preventive meas
ures of cleaning up rubbish and a thor
ough cultivation of the melon ground,
the use OF bordeaux mixture as repei-
lent and squash as a trap Germ are
among the most promising Of the rene
dies RECOMMENDED by these who have
successfully dealt with this insect.
Squashes are planted about four days
before the melons. One or more rows
Of squashes should be planted, accord

Others should be left to attract the

not only repels the cucumber beetle,
but also poisons some Of the. insects
which feed on the sprayed leaves
