There is no doubt but that a Large
percent Of the degradation, disgrace,
ruin and crime among the young,
springs from the habit of night prowl-
ing. corner loafng and kindred acts
by both sexes in the city, town and
hamlet all over this broad country.
Any person who keeps his or her eyes
open knows this. Hundreds of boys
and girls are out at night, and we all
know that many influences for, evil
and none for good surround them con-
tinually. A curfew restriction may be
derided as old-fashioned and Puritan.
ical, but the fact remains that there is
vastly less night providing in towns
that have curfew ordinance and en-.
force it.

RUST NOT GREEN BUG
No Cause for Alarm Says Prof.
Moore OF State University
Agricultural College.

The fear of Wisconsin farmers that
the .'green bug which is creating
havoc in the wheat fields OF thesouth
has invaded this state and attacked
the oat crops is unfounded, according
to Prof J. G. Moore, agronomist at
the college of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Extensive in
vestigation of the fields affected has
revealed the fact that rust is respon-
sible for the poor condition of the oat
crops, and the green bugs, found on
many plants in some districts are but
common aphides. Discussing the
situation Prof. Moore says:
Farmers have become alarmed be
cause oat fields have taken on a
reddish brown color and plants are
making little growth. While the
stand is good, the plants have not
reached the height usual for this
season. Looking for the cause far
mers have found a green louise or
aphis on the plants. In some dis
tricts the louise was so numerous that

DOCTORS VS.. LAWYERS
The Doctors are Mixing Their
Dope while the Lawyers are
"BriefinG Up."

The Doctors and Lawyers have form
ed baseball teams and expect to
meet in deadly combat on the old
fair grounds next Tuesday afternoon.
These two teams are working faith
fully and during the quiet hours of
the night. when all good people are
resting. they are making star plays,
and Old Morpheus is umpiring the
game. If you chance to talk with a
physician he will tell you of a dream
of victory, while the lawyers will
argue for an hour to show you how
absurd it is for the doctors to even
dream of victory. They will lead you
logically around the diamond from
first base to the home plate, until you
can see nothing but home runs, and a
score or two of them.
The lawyers have their heads to-
gether all the time, figuring out the
probable number of assault and bat
terry" cases that are liable to grow out
of the game, and we understand that
both justices are scheduled to hold
court in seperate roped arenas, at
convenient places near by, to dispose
of the large number of assault and
battery cases that are contemplated.
The physicians. however, are all
spending their spare time in the
chemical laboratories, and with their
Materia Medica. The reason is hard
to guess, unless there is a concerted
effort on their part to prepare some
dope" that will put their formidable
opponents to sleepin the first inning.
There is not the slightest doubt but
what these two teams will play for
blood, and the REPORTER would sug-
gest that one or more of the local I'M
dertakers be engaged to umpire the
game.
While there is much doubt as to the
outcome Of the score, there is no
doubt that every body will be out to
see the war, and the Ladies Club, are
sure to net a handsome sum for their
good work

the poor condition of the crop was at
tributed to it, probably because of
the excitement in the south regard
ing the green bug in the wheat
fields. Extended investigations made
in the past week by the university
experiment station show the aphis
more numerous than usual but in no
case is it found in sufficient numbers
to cause the damage attributed to it..
The aphis would simply suck the
juice from the plant causing it to
wither and the leaves to seem pune
tured by a needle. No doubt the
aphis has done some slight damage to
infested plants, but a large number
of plants show the disease where no
aphides are found.
practically all damage done may
be attributed to oat rust, found on
all the plants. Reddish brown
blotches appear on the leaves of the
plant somewhat elongated which
later turn dark brown. In nearly all
cases the leaves turn brown at the
end and die back to the stool. This
is because the rust takes up the
nouriShment which would naturally
go to the tissues, and they starve and
turn brown While most farmers are
cquainted with rust, they have over
looked it as the cause Of the present
trouble because it appeared SO much
earlier than usual. Prevailing wealth
er conditions have been exception
ally favorable for the development
and spread of the fungus, and at the
same time have retarded the growth
and weakened the plants so as to
make them more susceptible to attack.
1t is impossible to predict how
seriously the oat crop will be affected.
There is no way of combating the
disease, and the farmers can do moth
ing but watch weather conditions
until harvest. The indications are
that the crop throughout the state
will be very light, as practically the
whole state is effected, the south and
east more than the north and west. "

The Forestry Water Storage and
Manufacturing association of New

passage of an amendment to the state
law with respect to water storage.
This amendment aims to secure the
equalization of the flow of creeks and
rivers by storing the water at the time
Of flood for use during the dry season.
1t is argued that the building of res
ervoirs for water storage will confer
considerable benefit. First, as to SAN
itary water supply for many cities ana
towns; secondly, the enlargement and
development of the state canal system;
thirdly, in checking destructive floods;
and, fourthly, in furnishing a splendid
source Of water power now unavailable
According to hydraulic experts, 1,160,-
600 horse power can be generated by
the water powers, exclusive of Niagara
This amount of hydraulic power would
involve a saving of $25.0O0,OOO annu-
ally over the same amount of power
generated by steam.

that tendency to bronchitis or pneu-
