Compulsory School Law.

At meeting of the board OF
education Monday afternoon,
Lish House was appointed truant
officer for the district, and here
after every effort will be made
to enforce the law requiring the
regular attendance of children at
school.
The following is quoted from
the law: Every parent, guardian
or other person having charge
of any child between the ages of
eight and sixteen years, shall
send such child to a public, pri-
vate or parochial school for the
entire school year during which
the public schools are in session
in such district; provided, how
ever, that this act shall not apply
to children over fourteen years
of age where such child shall
have completed the eighth grade,
or may be eligible to enter any
high school in such district, or
where its help is necessary for its
own or its parents support, or
where for good cause shown it
would be for the best interests of
such child to be relieved from the
provisions of this act; provided,
further, that if such child is be-
ing sufficiently instructed at
home by person qualified, such
child shall not be subject to the
provisions of this act; and pro-
vided further, that if a reputable
physician within the district shall
certify in writing that the child's
bodily or mental condition does
not permit it's attendance at
: school, such child shall be EXEMPT
during such period of disability
from the requirements of This
act. 1t shall be the duty of the
superintendent of the school dis
trict, if there be such a superin-
tendent, and, if not, then the
county superintendent of schools,
to hear and determine all applica-
tions of children desiring for any
of the causes mentioned herein to
- skaaapt - y ppnvisinns
" this ut, and ii upon such ap-
plication such superintendent
hearing the same shall be of the
opinion that such child is for any
reason entitled to be exempted as
aforesaid, then such superintend-
ent shall issue written permit to
such child, stating therein his
reasons for such exemption.
The penalty for the violation of
this act is fine of not more than
fifty dollars for the first offense,
and both the fine and imprison-
ment for not less than ten days
second offense.

Safe to Sow Wheat This Fall?


The chronological department
of the Colorado Agricultural col
lege, at Fort Collins, is in receipt
of numerous inquiries from farm
ers who have had the green bug
in their grain the past summer,
wanting to know if it would be
safe to put in wheat this fall.s
A brief statement as to the his
tory of this insect may do much
towards answering this question.
The green bug, which attacks the
various grains and grasses, was
discovered in Italy, in 1852, and
appeared in the United States in
1882. The first outbreak of a Sc
rious nature in this country oc-
CURED in 1891, when this little
green louise became quite destruc-
tive to grain crops in portions of
exas, Oklahoma, Kansas and
Nebraska. 1t did not again ap-
pear in destructive numbers until
the year 1900, when it became
destructive to the grain crops
over considerable portion of the
area where it had been destruc-
tive ten years before.
The next appearance of this
louise in sufficient numbers to at
tract general attention was in the
spring of the present year, when
it again appeared in the same
localities, and in limited sections
was abundant enough to destroy
the crops. The insect was more
generally destructive thru the
grain-growing sections of Colora-
do this year than ever before.
The fact that the insect has
been known in this country for
the past twenty-five years and
that during that time it has only
been seriously destructive in
three years-and these years
separated from each other by a
period of not less than seven
years, makes it seem very likely
that the wheat fields of Colorado
will be free from serious attacks
of this insect next year and prob
ably for several years to come.
This is true with a great many
of our worst insect pests. They
will appear in large numbers for
one season, and then suddenly
disappear for period of years.
The reason for the disappearance
is the increase in numbers of the
insect enemies. In the case of
the green bug, these enemies are
chiefly lady beetles, lace-winged
flies, and what are known to the
entomologist as Syrphus flies. In
addition to these, very small
black fly, which is true parasite
and destroys the lice by burrow-
ing into their bodies, was also
abundant over nearly, if not quite
all, the infested region, and did
great service in the destruction of
the lice.
This insect attacks very freely
wheat, oats, barley, rye, and al
most any of the grasses. 1t is
sometimes found upon corn, but
seems never to have been destruc-
tive to this cultivated plant. Ear
ly sown fall wheat is usually
worse attacked than that which
is sown late, and is also worse
attacked, as rule, than the
spring grain, though this is not
always the case.
If the lice appear in great num-
bers upon the grain early in the
season, it might be best to plow
it under and put in some other
crop, not grain, upon which the
lice would not feed. 1t is hardly
possible to treat the lice in the
field so as to do very much good.
Rolling has been suggested as a
partial remedy when the grain is
small.

working hard to give a good account
of themselves in their events.
This will be the first opportunity
which the sporting enthusiasts OF To-
peka have had for witnessing the per
forrnance of Jack Johnson for over
year. Since his last appearance Jack
has been schooled in the pugilistic
school of hard work and rough KNOCKS
at Philadelphia and much Is expected
from him by his friends. He will at
tempt to defeat two men next thurs
day evening. One of them will be
Bill Brooks well known heavy
weight of Topeka, who has many VIC
tories in the ring to his credit Brooks
is a good man and is aggressive He
will fight hard during his six rounds
and while he will not be able TO knock
Johnson out he will try to wear MN
down so that Ed Edmunds, the Dig
heavyweight of South Topeka will
have a good opportunity TO put
lively finish to the second six rouno
go in which Johnson will participate
johnson is DESTROYS of making
good showing against these two men
defeating them. He is very anxious
to make a future for hfmsef IN the
ring and having the credit of defeat
ing two men in limited round goes IN
the same evening will do much to get
him before the big athletic clubs OF
the country which are always ready
TO back a good man for the sake OF

Arrangements are being made by
the Athletic club of Omaha for a bout
some time next month between john

for a meet between him and the other

sporting world as the champion col

as the latter returns from a trip to
Australia which will be within few
months.
Another event which promises to be
a very exciting one will be the ten

and Brigham Young of Topeka. These

PARROT SAVES CANARY.
Talking Bird Tackles Cat Trying to
Kill Little SongStef.

St. Louis, Feb. 25.-The Don, a par
rot belonging to Mrs. Carrie Cameron
of 3015 Morgan street. is blind. He lost
his sight in defense of Tony, a canary
ion for more than a year, when Tony's
cage was attacked by a neighborhood
cat
At first The Don seemed to resent
Tony's presence in the Cameron house
hold. Tony demanded much of his
mistress attention, and the Don was
frankly jealous. He sulked several
days, but then they came to be good
friends. Mrs. Cameron was in a rear
room on the second floor Wednesday,
when she was startled by sudden sue
cession of harsh notes from The Don.
She looked out of a window toward
the birds. On the cement walk back
of the house a cat was crouched,
watching Tony.
Mrs. Cameron's cry was too late.
The cats spring was well aimed, and
it's 1.-the body was already launched
toward the cage, hung just beside The
Don's perch.
Midway in the air the cats jump was
arrested. There was a flutter of wings
and the Don. croaking= savagelyJ inter-

The cat and parrot went together to

terderly wiped it away.
The perch was taken into the kitch-
