THE CHEsCTNUT WORM

This is the season for the chestnut
worm. | is very numerous and seems
to invade the whole chestnut world.
The worm is q living chestnut. 1t
Is born and raised on the inside OF
brown shell and is really the meat OF
the kernel. When the nut was in
blossom last summer, a fly few into
it, and laid a little egg, and there the
egg stayed, and when the nut form
ed, it got into 1t and stayed, and grew
and grew, until 1t became monster
worm tor whose Joy and prosperity
the chestnut SCENE to be made.
There is nothing clearer than a
chestnut worm. 1t lived in a blos-
som, in the fragrance of the flower,
among the sunbeams, the morning
dews and the songs of the birds, and
there IL grew, on the purest and sweet
est food, rollicking about in the silver
chambers of the nut and n beautiful
world all It's own. And yet, with al,
these bright antecedents. there IS
somehow prejudice against a chest
nut worm. People will never eat one
If they can help It, which is some
times not the case especially in the
dark.
We are not arguing in favor of
chestnut worms. if it can be avoided
but only to point out the noble line
age and the correct life of the worm,
simply to illustrate what real thing
prejudice is.

quiring judges on the common pleas
court oench { o wear wig and gowns
similar to that which is worn by Judges
npon the Federal Supreme bench.
This is done to create more respect
for the men who hold such positions,
and indeed might be good thing in
some sections, but in this part of Ohio
while jurists may be familiarly known
off the bench by their first names, as
ssoon as they ascend the bench, the
utmost deference is paid TO them. In
Pennsylvania, it may be necessary to
,elothe judge in a wig and long black
gown in order that the attorneys and
'pubnc may pay sufficient respect to
him, but here in Ohio such thing is
not necessary. Given names and even
nicknamss may be applied upon the
street or when meeting in a social and
Friendly way, but upon the bench the
Judge is always Your Honor. The
Court itself is resonsible for this

new YORK, NOV. 9-What are
usually considered the necessities of

few weeks luxuries and the result is
that many OF the small provision
dealers are facing bankruptcy while

PEELED to stop buying milk, butter.
eggs and other dairy products sim
ply because he cannot afford them.
Milk. which has been 5lEAt cents
a quart FOR years, is now quoted at
ten cents to the consumer, Selected
eggs are selling for ffty4fve cents
and the cheapest grade Is above the
forty mark, Butter is seiring at for
ty-three cents and the dealers de-
clare that it will be fifty cents q
pound before the end OF fthe month.
The desire for increased dividends
on the part of the controlling In
terest in the milk trust and the
dairy products trust Is the reason
for the advance 500 far as the popu-
lar mind IS concerned but the mana
gers OF the companies declare this is
not so. They insist that the cows
are not giving as much milk as
usual and that 1t costs more TO mar
ket milk and butter. The provision
dealers also insist that eggs are a
luxury, that the great American hen
is no longer on the job as In days
gone by and that because OF this
they have TO boost the price of eggs.
The cost OF living in New York has
increased thirty per cent. since the
middle OF August.
There is a rumor that financial in
terests that have in the past been
allied with the Standard Oil COM
pany have recently bought in' the
milk and dairy products trusts and
that these interests are determined
that dividends shall be pushed up.
