not very inviting for geese, somewhat
encouraging for prairie chickens, and dis
couraging for quail. In Wisconsin the
railroad agents have collected data that
seem to be thoroughly reliable. There is
practically no prairie chicken shooting,
and around BoscobeI the quail are thick
enough TO bring out the hunters in force.
Duck are reported to be plentiful at
WunnecOnne and Fox Lake, while the
shooting promises 10 be very fair at other
stations. Whenever there IS a big bag Of

Washlngtonians who keep in touch
with the affairs OF the diplomatic corps
We're not surprised, nor even especially
interested, by the recent announcement
of the German foreign Office that
Emperor William and Chancellor Won
Buel0w have the utmost confidence in
Baron Speck Won SteTnburg. the Kaiser
Ambassador TO this Capital, and that he
may remain here as long as he desires
No well-informed person has ever ac-
cepted the talk Of the ambassadors pos
sibe retirement as based on any dis.
satisfaction with his services, but, in
stead, as resulting from his alleged un-
favorable physical condition. Indeed. It
is doubtful if Germany, or, for that
matter any Of the other powers, has
had a more useful envoy here in recent
years than the little ex-soldler, with
the beautiful Kentucky wife. As has
been stated many times in the public
prints. Baron Won Sternburg and Presi-
dent Roosevelt were close friends when
the latter was a member Of the Civil

Saves Millions of Dollars.

Those skeptics who laugh at the scien-
tifie work Of the Department Of AgricuI-
ture may find considerable food for
thought in the announcement that the
government eutomologists and plant cul-
turists have perfected methods by which
cotton planters may raise full crops de-
spite the dreaded boil weevil. Few people
realize that this means the saving of
untold millions to the South every year.
and yet government reports Of a few
years ago will show that in the early
years Of the fight against the dreaded
pest which entered this country from
Mexico, the loss TO cotton farmers In
one State alone was upward Of $4,000. .O0t
per annum. according 10 most conserva-
tive estimates. The insect Is slowly en-

Marienbad, whittier King Edward
goes for his annual cure" was al
most unknown a century ago. 1t was
virtually discovered by DR.. Nehr, who
published booklet in 1913 describing
the marvellous results upon patients of
his who had been drinking the waters.
But DR.. Nehr recommended that all
invalids repairing to Marienbad should
take their beds with them, because
no accommodation whatever was then
provided in such a sequestered spot.
Matters had not much improved in
1920, when Goethe visited Marienbad
and drank the waters, for he wrote to
a friend: Il feel as If were in the
American solitudes, where the forests
are cut down to build up a city within
three years" Nearly 10000 valetudi-
narians now annually make pilgrimage
to Marienbad.-Dundee Advertiser.
