into Beaulieu'S to buy d maga-

ally decided on a copy of we'll
known public alton which he paid
for and went on his way-not ex-
actly rejoicing, because he was
too hot to rejoice much, but he
went on his way, nevertheless.
When he reached home after a
long tramp through the hot sun,
he threw himself in a hammock
and opened his magazine only to
find that it was the May mum Der
thereof, and that he had read it
two months ago. He had no
other reading matter, so he de-
voted the remainder of a long
and hot Sunday afternoon to the
prayerful and careful study of

Tales Of The Town.

Everybody is looking forward
to the carnival. 1t is apparent
to all that in engaging the Park
er Amusement Co., the business
men of Falls City made no mis-
take. They will bring to this
town a line of attractions that
well be we'll worth seeing, and
the free attractions will be of
superior merit. Those who come
to the carnival will not feel that
they are expected TO spend
money unless they are so inclined.
There will be an abundance of
free entertainment. 1t is the de-
sire of the business men of Falls
City that the people of the sur
rounding country spend as much
of their time as possible in Falls
City during carnival week and
that they have as good a time as
possible. Falls City appreciate:
the trade that comes here ant
those who have profited by thai
trade during the year have ar
ranged for this week of the carni
and fun. If it affords pleasur,
and entertainment to the farme,
and his family the business mer
will feel we'll satisfied.

ton larger than that OF papers
which have been in existence
thirty wears or more and still The
Tribune is only in its second
volume?" The answer to this
question is easy. The present
large circulation Of The Tribune
is due to persistent effort, as well
as to the absor ption of numerous
other publications. When The
Tribune was founded it filled
demand for a newspaper of its
class and as the people came to
realize that first class local
paper could be had at the nomin-
al price of one dollar per year
they began to figure that fifty
cents on each years subscription
was worth saving and began to
transfer their names from the
books of the high priced and more
or less inferior papers, to The Tri-
bune's subscription book. With
in month The Tribune had a
list of six hundred bona-fde
subscribers, because these sub
scribcrs knew good thing when
they saw it. The educational
authorities had been publishing
paper known as The Educational
Promoter and venture proving
Improbable it was decided to dis
continue the public alton thereof
and to substitute an educational
department to appear each week
in The Tribune, under the dir
ection of the county superin tend
ent. The county teachers as
sociation at regular meeting,
voted TO make The Tribune, the
official paper of the association
and consequently practically every
teacher in the county subscribed
and became a regular reader of
the paper, greatly augmenting
the subscription list. About
this time, The Register, a paper
published at Rulo, suspended and
the list was sold to The Tribune.
Practically all of this list which
includes the names of several
hundred residents of Rulo and
vicinity was retained and remain
TO day on the subscription books
of the Tribune. At this juncture
the list covered the entire east

is much more efficacious than

ply kill off the insect at its high

If we had started this scheme
early in the spring we wouldn't
have had near so many of these
insects on our grounds now. BY
killing them now we cut off the
fall crop or next springs crop.
Il only hit on the idea ten days
ago. When Mr.. Rockefeller saw
what I was doing he said: Why,
it's the greatest thing | ever
sawH He took the keeneSt in
terest in it. He kept a watchful
eye on these pans and every
morning he inspected them to see
what the nights catch had been.
One evening one of the lights
went out, and he telephoned to
me in great hurry to come over
and fix tit wasn't catching
any bugs.
Mr.. Howatt explained that pans
similar to those he used could be
attached. at small cost, to all the
arc lights in the city. Caring
for them, he said, would be a
very simple mattar. The oil
would cost little. A pint would
probably last for several days
The pan could be emptied of in
sects and given a fresh supply OF
oil by the men who make their
daily rounds caring for the
lamps. 1t would be an easy mat
ter, too, he said, to fix kerosene
pans under the gas lights.
Il firmly believe" he said
that if this were done through
out the city, Cleveland would il
a short time be almost free from
all sorts of fiying insects. More

ers and plants in the city would
be healthier. But that isn't all

half of the county and over a
thousand papers were corculated
every week to fill the demand.
Then came the final consolidation.
The Tribune and the Humboldt
Enterprise were united. The
Enterprise had been published at
Humboldt for over twenty-five
years and its circulation of over
a thousand copies covered the
west end of the county as that OF
The Tribune covered the east
end. With this consolidation
The circulation of The Tribune
became far and away the largest
in the county and there is no
precinct in which the paper does
not go. New subscribers are
coming in every week. Without
doubt the three weekly papers in

circulation are the Auburn

ceptible of proof.
Last Sunday afternoon a cer-
tain man Who lived out in the
suburbs came down town to get
his daily paper. But when he
reached the postoffice he found

that are devastating them. The
help is timely, for everywhere
throughout Cleveland are seen
trees and shrubs partially blight
ed, with leaves turning brown
and branches shriveling from the
ravages of predatory insects.
1t is oil that is expected to
drive away the plague of insects
just plain kerosene. And the
application of the kerosene where
it will do the most good is ar
ranged for by device so simple
and yet SO effective that it seems
a trifle sbsurd from its very sim
plicitv.
The idea did not originate with
Mr.. Rockefeller. He does not
claim the credit for it. ID. f.
Howatt, superintendent of Il c
Rockefeller estate in r t
Cleveland, is the discoverer of
the new mothod of insect EXTERN
ination. He hit upon the plan
after long experiment. 1t work
ed so well at Forest Hill that Mr..
Howatt determined, if Mr.. Rookie
feller were willing, to let the
public have the secret. He be-
lieved it would prove boon to
the whole country.
Mr.. Rockefeller entered into
the plan enthusiastically, and re :
ceived Plain Dealer representa-
tive at his home.
Thcbeautiful Forest Hill estate
bore little evidence of insect
ravages. The walk from Euclid
avenue up to the Rockefeller
house through winding lanes and
cool by-paths showed on every
side masses of green foliage APP
parently untouched by scale, moth
and other insidious enemies OF
the woodland. The maple, oaks,
chestnuts, beeches and evergreens
were healthy and luXuriant. And
no wonder. Ever since the snow
left the ground last spring a
force of about 100 men has been
busy, and hundreds of dollars
have been expended in spraying
Besides, these trees exist under
almost natural conditions-so
Mr., Howatt later explained it
and thus thrive better that city
trees that suffer from imperviou'
soil, sidewalks, smoke and INSULT
cient light. Evidently the bene
fits of the new discovery were to
be of less value to Mr.. Rockefel
ler himself than to the public al
large.
Have you seen the bugs?'
said Mr.. Rockefeller. You mus
see them" MIR. Howatt, III,
superintendent. will tell you al
about them"
The mystery of the bugs" was
soon solved. There are four o.
five arc lights on the lawn around
the Rockefeller house, hung lik'
ordinary city lights, with large
translucent globes. Mr.. Rocke
feller's valet, bright young
German, let down the light. Be
low the globe, suspended from i
by copper wires, was tin pan o

was an inch or two of transpar

the visitor asked.
why, just kerosene"
The device was indeed a sim
ple one. The insects had bee
attracted by the light during tn
night, and had been caught i
the oil under the glass globe.
