1t must not be overlooked that as this proposed
reform contains politics or religion and is not of
profit it is everybodys business and therefore nobodys
business. Yet it is unique inasmuch as it injuries no
one and does not call for the expenditure Of Uncle
Sans money. So every one should do what he can
to and IT. 1t affects every man, and child in the
United States and it is subject worthy of strenuous
activity on the part of politicians, the press and all
who act for the good of humanity
More-daylight associations should be formed in
every section of the country as it is only concerted
action that changes which are not of profit can be
brought about.

THE CORN ROOT LOUISE.

The corn root louise Is recognized as
one of the worst enemies of the corn
plant. OF themselves they could do
but little damage, but it seems that
they are used as dairy cows" by a
variety of ants, which place them on
or near the roots of the corn plant and
at intervals, by pressing the backs Of
the lice, extract from them a honey
dew. One of the most effective meth
DDS of coping with this louise problem
is to give the field in which the corn
is to be grown thorough blowing and
narrowing before the seed is sown
and frequent cultivation during the
growing season. In this way the nests
of the ants are broken up and their
operations in herding and placing their
dairy cows" greatly interfered with.
In handling this, as a number of other
problems, a system Of crop rotation is
a great help.

BRACE 'EM UP.

A good turn may be done orchard
trees which show signs of splitting
down the trunk by boring a hole with
a three-sixteenth inch augur just below
the point where the trunk divides and
at right angles to the crack and III
serting a bolt Of the desired length
and the size mentioned and screwing
things up tight with Il good sized
washer at both ends. The thread end
of the bolt should extend through the
tree far enough to accommodate the
washer and just catch the bur,
which will make the bolt about the
right length when the bur Is screwed
tight. The ends Of the bolt will heal
over in two or three years and the
tree be as good as ever and proof
against many a windstorm which it
would not otherwise weather. The
same plan, using a fve-siXteenth or
half inch bolt, works nicely on large
shade trees.

FREEDOM.

Here In the forest now,
AS on that old July
When first our fathers took the vow,
The bluebird. stained with earth and sky,
Shouts from a blowing bough.
In green aerial freedom, wild and high
And now. as then, the hobulink.
Gu on the uncertain brink
OF the swaying M ie swings,
Loosing his song out link by golden link,
While over the wood his proclamation
rings, ~
A daring boast that would abingdon
kings!
Even so the wild birds sang on hough and
wall
That day the bell of Independence hall
Thundered upon the world the word Of
man,
The word God uttered when the world be-
That day when liberty began to be
And mighty hopes We're out on land and
But Freedom calls her conscripts now, as
then;
1t is an endless battle to be free:
AS the old dangers lessen from the skies
New dangers rise.
Down the long centuries ~eternally,
Again, again, will rise Thermopylae;
Again. again, a new Leonidas
Must hold for God the imperiled pass.
AS the long ages run
New Lexington will rise on Lexington
And many a vaIorous Warren fall
Upon the inperiled wall.
Man is the conscript of an endless quest,
A long divine adventure without rest,
A holy war, a battle yet unwon
When he shall climb beyond the burnt
out sun.
Each hard earned freedom withers to a
bond,
Freedom forever is acknowledgement.

A COMMEMORATE CHARITY.

Acting on the sensible theory that
the best way to aid the poor Of the
large cities is to give them an oppor-
tunity to help themselves, a benev-
client organization in Chicago has pur-
chased 12O acres of land near that
city which it has allotted to $50 needy
families, who are to plant and tend
the garden stuff which it will grow, a
small sum to be paid the board for the
use of the land. An expert gardener
has peer hired to superintend the gar
den operations. look after the tools,
etc. The families who take advan-
tag of this opportunity will not only
have something with which to stock
their larders next winter, but will
have had the advantage of sunshine
and fresh air while at work, which
should be a powerful factor in uplfft-
ing them.

are of little use. The method usually
followed by plum raisers and one FED
slble for a few trees is to sew together
sufficient white sheet1ng to equal the
area of the fruit bearing portion of
the tree. leaving a slit IN It from one
edge to the middle to allow for the
trunk. This should be spread beneath
the tree, and each morning during the
period when the curculio Is at work the
trunk should be given repeated jar
rings, which dislodge the beetles and
cause them to fall to the sheet below.

All about the deafened world.

Full of stars red, white and blue.
Let the fluent red lights flow,

But be careful how you blow
Down your gun.

Go through all the bag of tricks
With which now we glorify
Heroes of old seventy-siX,
But, no matter what your glee
Mid the oar of bursting bombs,
Careful, oh, most careful be

Worthy to be glorified.
Worthy of the fiery whiz

Empty, useless thing of chance,

He was all here in the morning
When forth from hi5 home he set out,
S~afeguarded by many a warning
Which he is forgetting, no doubt.

When for fireworks he started to roam.
This is the question at present:
How much of him's coming back home?
VIII there be fingers found missing?
Will he have all of his toes?
His mouth, is it still straight for kissing?
Has he altered the shape of his nose?
