Stopping the Locust Pest.

Algeria and Tunis has this year
suffered from an extraordinary inva-
sion of locusts The locusts arrive
from the direction of the deserts in
swarms so thick as to hide the sun.
They cover the ground as with a yell
low carpet, and sometimes render the
railways so slippery that trains can
hardly run. At this stage they are not
voracious, being engaged principally
in laying their eggs. But 40 days la
ter the young locusts, not yet winged,
begin to run about, devouring every
green thing, including not only leaves
but even the bark and tender shoots
of trees. The hordes, advancing in
a body, sometimes cover an area of
several square miles. Barbados of

unable to crawl up the smooth sur

barbados. they fall into bitches dug
for the purpose. where they are killed
with corrosive liquids. Another meth

Among the "ffty-seven" varieties to
attract attention in the future are the
bills to that number which have been
introduced in the legislature by Robert
Stone, one of Shawnee county's repre-
sentatives. There is consolation,
though, for all but Mr.. Stone perhaps.
in the fact that most of these meas
ures like those things which have
made the number ''fifty-seven" a catch

Reports have it that the ways and
means committees of both branches OF
the legislature are going to be ex-
ceedingly liberal with appropriations
for the educational institutions of the
state. No fault will be found with
them for such actions. but while they
are considering these matters they
ought not to forget to extend this lib
crafty to the establishment of a state
fair. If one is created it will become
in time about the biggest and most
valuable educational Institution in the
commonwealth.

sued in 1841 by the vice chancellor

considered contrary to the good order

they accordingly ordained that any

Knud Rasmussen, the Danish SCI
enlist, who supports DR.. Cooks claim
as to the discovery of the north pole,
has written 8 book on life among the
Eskimos which has established his
reputation as an authority. -,
Rasmussen tells sone weird stories
about the horrible murders practiced
by these Eskimos in their earlier days,
but in summing up their general char
acteristics he adds:
II have never in the course Of my
travels lived with more cheerful, more
amiable and good humored people than
these east Greenlanders, who, had they
lived in civilized state, would have
paid the penalty of the law for most
horrible MURDERS"
And again, speaking of the Eskimos
as whole, he says:
'"There is no people with a history
which, as regards the bitterness Of its
struggle for existence and the eeriness
Of it's memories, can be compared with
the best of the Eskimos. Yes, they are
good natured and filed with desire
for peace in spite Of all. But do not
forget that they are, first and fore
most. men, and men formed by the ma
ture surrounding them. The mind Of
the Eskimo can be quiet and serene,
but it can be savage and remorseless
as the ocean ITSELF"

The editor of Michigan paper
that reaches our exchange table re-
peats the suggestion of sorrowtul
truth when it asks the question did
you ever notice how much easier it is
for father to support big family
OF children when they are small than
it is for big family of grown-up
children to support one father when
he is old?" OF course we have never
had any such instances as the question
would imply in this community, but
haven't you noticed in other COM
munities that you know of some poor
old father or mother who had made
life long sacrifices for their children
and perhaps turned over their property
to them in exchange for the promise
of thsir declining years being made
happy by the comforting care of their
sons and daughters, only to meet
neglect and perhaps harsh treatment
where support and loving ministra-
tions should by all right have been
expected? Shame on the man or
woman who can forget the debt of
honor and love they owe to an old
father or mother.
