Insects Our Greatest Enemies.

Atchison Globe.
 We keep an army of e5,OoO men and have 2o4 ships of war. We are ready to fight any nation on earth, and yet the little potato bug laughs us to scorn. Ever hear of the big United States suffering with the grasshopper? Are we not DOW erless before the Gypsy moth? The bug family taxes this great country $350, ,oO0'- 900 year, but in the unequal fight be- tween the nation and the bugs the latter ever remain unconquered. The worms that attack the cotton plant assess the farmer $6O, 900 year. The potato bug eats sS,0O0,000 worth annually out of our gardens. The chinch bug costs us s1O0.- COG. 900, the Hessian fly $50 000,O0O and the grasshopper $90,O GOO. The big United States has not enough money or men to win any war with an insect.

J. Howard Wilson, Treasurer and Gen. eral Manager of the Mobile Light and Railroad Company, announced this morn ing that, within a week, Mobile ana Whistler would be in direct communica- ton, by an electric railway system.
 Work on this extension was begun sew eral months ago, and but for the un- usually indictment weather during the past two months, the road would, ere this, have been completed and in opera tion. The completion of this line of rapid transit will mean a great deal to the business interests of Mobile. as the peo- pie of the two large cotton mill settle ments, Pritchard Station and Whistler, will have much better facilities for com ing to and leaving the city. Already cars are operating to the lower end of what is called Pritchard's Lane, about two miles from the former end of the Davis Avenue car line.

Obituary.

August Ferdinand Schacht was
born March 1st, 1910, in zelgnieno,
Province Posen, Germany. He was
baptized in early infancy, instructed
in the public school, and at the age of
l6 confirmed, after careful instruc-
tion in religion. Then he worked
with his father in building and repair
ing wagons. At the age Of 30 he serv,
ed his country as a soldier for three
years, taking an active part in the
wars of 1854 and 1866 against Den
mark and Austria. He was discharg-
ed from the military service with the
war-medal for bravery. In 1868 he
was married to Julie Giese, his mourn
ing widow. They lived two years
longer in the old country and came to
America in 1870. After short stay
in Chicago they moved to Delaware
county, Iowa. In this county they
lived about 13 years, and there the
six children were born, who survive
the death of the beloved father-five
of the children died before him. In
1883 the family came to Howard Co.,
Iowa, and boughta farm near Davis
Corners. Two years ago he sold this
farm and moved to Cresco for rest,
after long years of hard work; but did
not rest very long and bought farm
near Lime Springs. He did not live
very long on his new place, he was
taken sick with pneumonia, and after
short sickness died very unexpect-
edly, on Feb. 18th, at p. M, alto
gether too early for his mourning
widow and children, for he was low
ing father and good husband, an up
right man, honest and true, honored
by all who were acquainted with him.
August Schacht was faithful mem
ber Of the German Lutheran congre.
cation at Davis corners, one who set
up good christian example. Funer.
al services were held at the NJ. E.
church of Lime Springs. Interment

Tipping seems to be on the In

only ia the waiter invariably tipped,
except by very brave men and wom-
en-, but the barber is tipped, the pro-
fessional large-scale bootblack il
tipped, the attendant and the bag
gage-man in railroad stations are
tipped, and there is even story
abroad that statesmen and saleswom-
en- in big department stores are ex-
pecting small gratuity when they
have been attentive and courteous.
