FROM THE FIELD.

What is life and what are its
greatest pleasures? Or what must I
do and what conditions would afford
me the greatest happiness? are Ques-
tons presenting themselves to every
thoughtful being. Every life and its
acts presents a different answer to
these questions. The remarkable
fact that one and one-half billion
people represent one and one-half
billion distinct personalities can
only be understood by those CONVEX
SAINT with the rule of Formulation.
However, there are few leading
characteristics of the human race, a
few prominent motives which appear
to rule the entire collection. The SOL
dier's incentives are love of country,
love of glory and love of adventure.
The financier's prompting motives
are love OF action, love of gain and
love of power. The novelist writes
because he sees the workings of the
human heart and would impart his
knowledge to others and he gives us
some of the finest and most whole
some sentiments any where found
The poet dreams and we are given
his visions. The gluttOn's ambition
is to have plenty OF broth and bread.
The lazy mans heaven is where he
may rest, snooze and snore. The SEN
sualist's ambition Is plenty Of wine,

Antics of Frat Candidates
Amusing to Large Crowd

Yesterday afternoon a young man,
clad in rough clothes and wearing an
old felt hat, sat on a pile of bricks at
the corner of Tenth and Main streets.
In his hand he held fishing pole. The
hook end of the line dangled in the
gutter. On the opposite corner sat
another young man, attired like a
tramp. He was sprawled out on the
paving with his back resting against a
telephone pole. He wore black Cog
giles over his eyes, and a placard on his
breast bore the words: II am Blind"
In his hand was a tin cup. The fish
erman was Dan Walsh. The blind
man" was Arthur Curme, Jr.

vigorous manner.

In wheat-when it all digests-
you get all the food elements that
anyone needs.
If you work with muscle, here
are the proteids needed. If you
work with brain, here are the phos-
pilates required.
If you are weak, here is the ut
most in nourishment. If you are ID,
here is the best of medicines.
Mapl- Flake is the ideal food pre-
pared in the ideal way. There is
nothing else TO compare with it.
No need of different foods to
meet different conditions. Whole
wheat supplies every need.

San Jose Scale.

Many growers are now busy spray
Ing their orchards for San Jose scale,
which has been discovered in the
vicinity of Sloan Springs. While this
Is a great pest and one to be greatly
feared it has been proven over and
over that the little insects can be
killed by spraying, yet if they are let
alone they will soon ruin fruit trees.
There is no reason for any great
alarm if growers act promptly and
good percentage of them are taking
up the work in real earnest at this
place. The scale seems to be well
scattered all over the fruit district,
the great danger however being, that
growers, not knowing anything about
the little pest, let it get the start of
them. They multiply rapidly and a
few scales on a tree now will COM
pletely cover it in season. Some
use the Scale Destroyer, soluble
oil, that does the work, others use
the regular lime sulphur mixture that
is a sure destroyer. The San Jose
scale not only destroys the tree by
sucking the saps, but it gets on the
fruit and simply spoils it, so that it
must be controlled in order to have
good fruit.
