DRIVES THE PEST AWAY.
Electricity as Means of Kidding Gar
dens of Undesirable Tenants, and
Fastening Plant Growth.

Among the many uses to which cleo
tricity is being put in these days the lat
est is the Kidding of gardens of their in
sect pests. A European scientist, while
drying by electricity an ingot mold bur-
led in the earth, noticed that earth
worms were coming out of the ground
as fast as they could and hurrying away
from the vicinity of the electric disturb
ance, which seemed to excite them
greatly.
Working on this, Herr Halberger tried
other experiments to determine the ex-
act effect of electricity on earth inhabit-
ants. One experiment consisted in bury
ing terminal Of 110-volt circuit in the
EARTH and as soon as the switch was
closed every worm and underground in
sect within a radius of yard or two
came to the surface and made haste to
leave the infested zone. Celebrating
again, he placed several electrodes a
couple of yards from one another, and in
that way considerable tract of land
was cleared entirely of creeping and
crawling things.
1t has been sus gested many times that
it might be possible to hasten and in
crease the growth of plants by the ap-
plication of electricity, and if to this can
be added the destruction of the yermin
which attack the roots it might pay
farmers to install electric generating
stations for the treatment of their grow
ing crops.

MINIATURE CITY OF TENTS.
If They Desire, Get Tent Ac-

St. Louis, Feb. 13.-Nine representa-
tive St. Louis business men have per-
fected the incorporation of a unique
hotel project by forming what is to
be known as University Park encamp-
ment, to run during the Worlds fair
period.
1t is to be tented city just outside
the Worlds fair grounds, where visit
ors can rent sleeping accommodation at
a nominal figure.
1t is proposed to erect large num-
Der of tents. They are to be double
topped, with wood floors, furnished
with iron bedsteads and all modern
conveniences, including electric lights.
Work has already begun on sewering
the tract, and contract has been
let to the West ST. Louis Water Co.
to lay mains.
According to plans, dollar a day
is to be charged each person Most
of the tents will be large, but smaller
ones for couples and small families,
and even single tents may be installed.
Persons can rent these in advance for
as many days as they like. which will
also entitle them to reduction in
price. Compartments or tents rented
ahead of time will be reserved on the
payment in advance of the rental,
which will be figured at rs cents a
day.
Police will guard the premises night
and day. The plat will be inclosed with
barbed wire fencing, and central Of
flee with a safe will be on the grounds
for the accommodation of the guests.

The crown PRINCE
Short Sketch Of the Heir Apparent
of the German Empire.
One of the Most Interesting Young
Men of EurOpe-Resembles His
Distinguished Father I'm
Many Ways.

A great inheritance like the German
imperial crown is apt to weigh trifie
heavy on youthful shoulders. The Ger
man crown prince was only six years
old when he became heir apparent, and
from that time the idea of his flu
ture duties and responsibilities was all
ways kept before him till the boy be-
came serious beyond his years. Now, as
a young man of nearly %, he shows the
marks of his rigid education, being OF a
quiet and thoughtful disposition and
still somewhat shy.
With father of such striking person.
atty as Emperor William, the prince is
naturally somewhat in the background,
but it Is not from weakness of charac-
ter. The emperor has always made a
great companion of his eldest boy, and
father and son are much alike in many
ways-the stern sense of duty, military
tastes and love of sport, for instance. To-
AS the future head of a soldier nation,
Prince William was encouraged in
things military from his very cradle,
tradition relating that at 215 he insisted
on sleeping with miniture rife on his
arm. He was a delicate, slight boy, and
made tiny soldier indeed-when he en-
tered the Prussian foot guards at the
age of ten, according to the custom OF
German princes. With his next brother
Eitel Fritz, the crown prince worked
very hard. first at home in Potsdam, and
then at the college at Plon, in Schles-
wig Holstein. On finishing his course
there, the prince went to Bonn, where he

TARIFF AND RECIPROCITY
Discussed By Gov. Cummins at the
Annual Lincoln Day Banquet.
Given BY the minneapolis FIambenu
Club, and Was Listened to
with Great Interest.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 13.-Gov.
Albert B. Cummins of iowa was the
principal speaker Friday evening at
the annual Lincoln day banquet given
by the Minneapolis Flambeau club at
the Hennepin County Republican as
ISOLATION. Five hundred sat down at
the festive board and listened atten-
lively to Gov Cummins on 1.-THE Iowa
Idea"
Gov Cummins' speech was a general
discussion of national issues, but the
portion related to tariff revision and
reciprocity was listened to with great
interest. Gov Cummins said:
"The time came at last when it was
seen, and at last understood, that
through wise and patriotic system of
import duties we had utilized our own
resources and held our own markets
until we were prepared to invade with
our surplus the markets of every coun-
try in the world 1t was felt that we
had entered upon the stage of the
worlds affairs, and that henceforth we
must be recokened with every turn of
diplomacy in the paths of peace or in
the fields of war.
"The trouble between associated en-
ployes and associated employers has
reached point where it must be- dealt
with by the government in a calm,
comprehensive way. The rights of
both must be recognized, and when
recognized, must be protected and pre-
served"
In speaking Of reciprocity, Gov. Cum
Minis said:
1--WE want to sell Canada the things
we must buy. l appeal only for a ne
gotiation. l have been accused of be-
ing in favor of free trade with Canada.
This accusation is as baseless as false
hood and malice combined can make
it. But I do believe that we should
cultivate more friendly relations with
Canada and the northwest"

The Farmers Balance Of Trade.

The immense exports from the
farms of the country lead to an ex-
animation of the so-caIled balance of
trade. This examination reveals what
seems to have escaped the attention
OF the public, and that is, that the
favorable balance of trade, everything
included. Is due to the still more IA
vorable balance of trade in the pro.
ducts of the farm.
During the thirteen years, 18901902,
the average annual excess Of domes-
tic exports over imports amounted
to $275, 100000, and during the same
time the annual average in favor OF
farm products was $685., 100000, from
which it is apparent that there was
an average annual adverse balance OF
trade in products other than those OF
the farm amounting to $4,000. 900,
which the farmers Offset and had left
$275 100000 to the credit of them
selves and the country.
Taking the business of 1908, the
comparison is much more favorable
to the farmers than during the pre-
ceding thirteen-year period, since the
value of domestic exports over i'm
ports was 1857 ,000, 900, the entire trade
bei1g included, while the excess for
farm products was 1922 100000, which
was sufficient not only to offset the
unfavorable balance of trade of $780,
100000 in products other than those
Of the farm. but to leave. as above
state, the enormous favorable balance
of 1867 ,000, 900.
During the last fourteen years there
was a balance Of trade in favor Of farm
products. without excepting any year.
that amounted to $4,S06, 000, 600.
Against this was an adverse balance
Of trade in products other than those
Of the farm Of $685., 900 900. and the
farmers not only Cancelled this Inn
mense obligation, but had enough left
to place $3,490 ,000, 900 to the credit
of the nation when the books Of in.
ternational exchange were balanced.

thoroughly enjoyed university life, and
matriculated with due honors.
1t was whilst he was at Bonn that he
was besieged one day by deputation
of schoolgirls, who brought postcards
for him to sign. After the prince had at
tanned his majority-celebrate with
much ceremony at Berlin-he came out
into the world by visiting foreign courts.
The prince had often been in England,
where he was much liked by his great
grandmother, Queen Victoria, and when
over there the summer after her death
he was invested by King Edward with
the order of the garter.
Last spring the prince and his brother,
Prince Eitel, made tour in the east,
and came home by Rome, having an au-
dience of the late Pope. Leo XIII. spoke
of the young prince as the pambino piu
grande-the eldest little boy, much to the
brothers amusement. Now the prince
has settled down to military duty in
Potsdam with his guards regiment.
The crown prince shows his English
origin by his love of outdoor life. He is
a crack rider, and has competed in sew
eral military races-hardly altogether to
his fathers satisfaction, as the en-
peror detests horse racing. But shoot
ing is his favorite pursuit-not in big
court drives, but quiet days sport with
only forester in attendance. The
prince has been very successful in deer
stalking, and displays the utmost pa
thence in following his quarry.
At home he proves his talent as a pi-
anist, for all the princes have been
taught some musical instrument, and
the emperor and empress are very fond
of quiet family musical evenings at
Potsdam. The question of the day is:
''Who will the crown prince marry ?"
He is little susceptible, but the choice
of wife is as yet in the balance.
