DO CLUB WOMEN
ATTEMPT TOO MUCH?

In an interesting conversation not
long ago Mrs. Joseph Mumford. of
Philadelphia, gave some pertinent
ideas appropos of women's work In
club life and misapplied energies. 1t
was her opinion that most club wom-
en- tried to do too much and worked
too hard, forgetting that they could
not accomplish all of the great results
in day, or even term of office. Her
suggestion was that instead of trying
to bring about number OF big re-
forms, club women divide themselves
observation-disclosures ..uI234567S90s
into bands and lend their influence In
not more than one great undertaking
at a time. In her long experience In
civic and educational club work Mrs.
Mumford said that she had found that
women very often lent their aid to
work of which their better judgment
could but disapprove. This she be-
lieved to be the result of their impul-
siveness and generosity. Such women
were like people, who in throwing a
stone threw their whole bodies at the
same time. Women, she said, nearly
always throw into the undertaking
not only their interest, as men do,
but their whole body and soul, so that
In a little while they find themselves
wrecked in health and wholly unable
to accomplish just what they started
out so zealously and overearnestly to
gain. mo woman in the land believes
more firmly in woman's ennobling in
fiuences than | do, nor in the power
of that influence for good In molding
public opinion than | do" said Mrs.
Mumford, but | do believe that We
women are making a great mistake
when we try to belong to half a dozen
different organizations and try to at
tend all the call. business and social
meetings. We can't do them all we'll
without doing something toward un-
dermining our own physical strength,
fact that we owe orr first duty to
and we must never lose sight of the
ourselves and our homes"

the dedication exercises of the college
of the City of New York, returned to
New York, and after vosit to the

blacksmith and spent many an hour
over the forge swinging the heavy
hammer TO the music of the anvil.
This occupation, while severe ana
prosaic, had its uses. for years of
hard work brought with it health
strength. good lungs, and brawny
frame which served DR.. Colyer in
good stead in the pulpit.

NAMING A BISHOP. !
Observation-Disclosures

1t seems that DIR. Goodell, one OF
the candidates for the office of
bishop in the Methodist Episcopal
church, is unhappy because his di-
vorce is to be used against him. He
says: "The bringing of this charge
at the moment when my election to
the episcopacy seemed possible l re-
gard as a political move which is be-
tical convention"
vorce, in which DIR. Goodell seems to
have been justified, his words dis
close a condition which should not
prevail in the Methodist church, or
any other church. 1t relates to the
practice of political wirepulling ans
maneuvering to secure the coveted
honor.
Politicians and their methods
should be left to the political con-
vention. A bishop should be chosen.
not because he is good clerical
politician, but because he is devot-
ed, earnest, able Christian man. 1t
is emphatically a place where the Of
flee should seek the man, and the
fact that preacher descends to
scheming and wirepulling to secure
the office is quite sufficient reason
for voting against him.
1t is a decidedly unpleasant If not
disheartening, spectacle to see these
men getting down to the methods
of commonplace politicians to secure
the great and high honor of the
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
church

Mr.. Blasier found the petition
which had been presented to the

drew up new petition modled after

been carefully prepared by compe-

as good as the best. Mr.. Blasier
also secured the preparation of all
other papers necessary to the work
of incorporation, that there might be
no hitch or delay in the future.
Upon his return to Collbran Tues

A few that are almost certain to
attract attention are the red louise
or golden glow, the black louise OF
the cherry trees, the black peach
aphis. green lice upon rose bushes,
cabbages, apple trees, and plum trees
the woolly aphis of the apple tree
and probably many others. These
plant lice are usually rather easy in
sects to kill if taken in time.
The food of the plant lice is al
ways the sap of the plant they infest.
AS this sap is taken through hollow
beak that is thrust beneath the sur
face, it is useless to attempt to poi
son them through their food supply.
The remedy must be a contact in
secticide, one that will kill by COM
ing in contact with the body of the
louise. The most effective insecticide
of this kind for summer use are oil
emulsions. tobacco decoctions. or
soapy mixtures.
To Prepare the Kerosene Emulsion.
Dissolve one pound of ordinary
washing soap in one gallon of water.
While the latter is still boiling hot
remove from the stove and add two
pumping it forcibly back into the ves-
sci containing it and then dilute to
thirty gallons, when the mixture will
be ready for application. 1t is best
to apply at once.
Black Leaf Dip.
One of the best remedies for plant
lice is the common sheep dip sold un-
der the name of "Black Leaf" Di-
lutte this with water in the proper
ton of one part of the dip to seventy
parts of water. and you will have one
of the very best spray materials for
the destruction of plant lice.
Whale Oil Soap.
Any good whale or fish oil soap in
the proportion of one pound of the
soap to eight gallons of water will be
found quite sufficient for the de-
struction of plant lice if sprayed with
force and thoroughness upon their
bodies.
