22 years he has been connected with
the railway service. and for 10 years
past has been car accountant for the
Union Pacific.
From his early manhood he has
been engaged si some kind of rail-
road work. The practical knowledge
thus obtained, together with his close
study OF railroads and their manage
ment, has given him that training and
experience that will thoroughly equip
and prepare him for efficient service
in the discharge of his duties as rail-
road commissioner. He has served
two years as alderman from the FIJI

Increase in Allen Convicts.

One prisoner in every four prisoners
in the state prisons of New York to-
day is an alien, and the situation has
been growing more and more serious
for several years past. From 1906 to
1909 the population Of these prisons
increased 939, and over one-half of the
increase were foreign born. Paren-
thetically it may be stated that Italy
contributes 473 of the 1901 aliens
now confined in these prisons.
But this is not the problem of New
York state alone. In the 1908 report
of the United States commissioner
general of immigration is to be found
the interesting fact that in the penal
institutions of the United States there
were, according to this latest census,
1923 criminals not naturalized.-

SHOUT BEETLE PEST
DAMAGES YOUNG FRUIT
Accidentally Discovered While Being
Made for Plum and Apple CurcuIios-To
Eradicate.

In making observations on the ex-
tent of injury that was being done to
apples by the plum and apple cur
culios, during the spring and summer
of 1909. 1t was noticed that another
small snout beetle was present on the
trees and was doing considerable dam
age to the young fruit. The insect
was not recognized at first and speci-
mems were forwarded to the special
lists in Washington who identified them
as belonging to the species whose
technical name is given above.
The species does not appear to have
attracted attention previously as an
enemy of apples but according to OBJ
servations made by the writer the
habit of breeding In this fruit seems
so well fixed that the common name
apple weevil' is suggested as being
suitable.
The first instance that came under
our notice, in which apples were at
tackled by this insect, was in June,
1907. when Mr.. W. E. Rumsey saw
one of the beetles lay its egg in an
apple growing on the Experiment Sta
ton farm at Morgantown. In the
spring of 1909 Mr.. Rumsey also saw
numerous punctures in young apples
In Berkeley county which he at
tributed to this species. At French
Creek, in Upshur county. the beetles
were abundant on apple trees during
the past summer 5000. and in some
cases almost every fruit on unsprayed
trees showed the punctures of the in
sect.
The beetles make two kinds of

Evidently Unused to Travelling.

At the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton In Philadelphia tall, raw-boned
youth created considerable merriment.
He tried to pass through the gate to
reach his train and was stopped and
his ticket demanded. 1t took him some
TIME to search his clothes and find
his ticket, but he finally succeeded,
while the crowd behind him grew
larger and more impatient. When he
handed the ticket to the gate keeper
he walked away. Come back and
get your ticket" was shouted. ooh,
] guess l don't want it," he replied.
Yes. you do!" cried the gate keeper.
But the youth smiled sheepishly and
kept on walking. The crowd had now
become interested and joined their
voices in an entreaty to return. But
he insisted that he didn't really care
for the ticket, until two train officials
seized him and marched him back to
the gate. Really" he stammered, II
hate to give you all this troubled"

RELATED BY OLD SETTLER
Just a Little Happening In Which
He and a Big She-Bcar
Had Parts.

Senator Boies Penrose, at dinner
at the Philadelphia club, said of
movement that he opposed:
ut promises incredible things. In
fact, 1t makes me think of Jack
Travers of Pike county. Jack is an
old man now. He remembers the time
when bears were as plentiful on the
barren mountains as rattlers still are.
Once, when | was fishing at Porter's
any remarkable adventures with
bears.
well, no, senator said the old
man, as he filled his pipe with cut
plug; II can't say as l ever had much
to do with bears hereabouts. Wunst,

got together-twa'n't nothin', though.
"It all come about over old Sukey,
our COW. She had a bad habit Of

have to go to the woods and fetch her

well, one night when | wanted to

The First Threshinu Machine.

The threshing machine is so IA
miliar feature of country life that it
comes as a surprise to know that the
inventor, John r. Motif. who first put
the instrument before the world while
living on his fathers farm near Can
ton, O., has just died. 1t was exhibited
at various cities in the east and pro-
nounced successful. This emboldeDed
the young inventor to take 1t over to
England, where it was shown at the
Worlds Fair in London in 1851 The
queen was much interested in the
machine, and requested that the In.
ventor should be presented to her
Success was thereupon assured, and
the thresher soon became the sup.
planter of the old-fashioned fail
which today is almost extinct.

sealed. The feeding punctures are left
open. The wounds are SO small that
In making a careful examination the
aid of magnifying lens is necessary.
The fruit may be attacked at any
point on the surface but the pune
lures are found usually most numer-
Gus about the calyx and stem. So far
as could be determined, nearly all the
wounds that are made In sound fruit
occur when the apples are quite small.
The feeding punctures, In cases where
decay does not set in, usually heal
over so that they show only as minute
scars in the ripe fruit. The same Is
true of the egg punctures where the
eggs fail to hatch or where the larvae
die soon after beginning to feed, as Is
often the case. The wounds made by
the weevils are sometimes found and
enlarged by plum curculios and pos
sibly by other insects that feed on
apples. The wounds also form cen
tiers for the spread of decay.
The larvae that hatch from the eggs
feed on the fruit, forming tortuous
tunnels through the flesh, or, more
often. make large and irregularly
shaped feeding chambers about the
core. The excavations are filled with
dark-colored, granular excrement
scarcely any of which is cast to the
shrface of the fruit. The larvae are
not able to reach full growth within
apples that hang to the branch and
continue to grow vigorously. They

wounds In the fruit One of these Is
made by the female to receive the
egg and the other is made by both
sexes in feeding. Both forms Of
wounds are in the shape of minute
punctures through the skin which ex-
tend to depth of about .04 of an inch
into the flesh of the apple. On the
surface of the fruit the average sized
opening is slightly less than .01 Of an
Inch across but beneath the skin 1t is
enlarged considerably. Externally
the egg punctures may be distin-
guished from the others by the small
mass of glue-like excrement with
which the opening through the skin is

Former Official Among Them Testifies
to Their Possession Of Some
Fine Qualities.

The father-in-law of 300 Indian chill
dren! This is the remarkable task
which Dave Guyette. former Iowan,
but now a resident of Muskogee, Okla,
has faced.
Prior to the granting of statehood
TO the combined territories of Okla
homa and Indian territory under the
name of Oklahoma it was necessary
under the law for all minor Indians to
have guardian who could give bond,
make contracts, leases, etc.
Mr. Guyette, after failing to obtain
farm at the opening of the Chero-
kee Outlet, settled at Tahlequah. the
capital of the Cherokee Nation, in
1893. Acting as the fiduciary officer
of trust company, Mr.. Guyette was
appointed by the federal court the
guardian of more than 800 Cherokee
children.
Speaking of his experiences in his
parental capacity, Mr.. Guyette, who is
visiting in Des Moines, said: Until
the advent uf statehood | was about

children are never given corporal pun
ishment.
Il never saw a Cherokee mother
strike her child, scold or punish it in
any way. She might neglect the child,
but abuse it never. She couldn't pos
sibly swear at the child, whatever the
provocation, as there are no swear
words in the Indian language. Even
when they learn English, Indians don't
swear."-Des Moines Register and

There are American kings of finance of far greater wealth and fewer financial burdens of obligation than King Edwards. who fight by every means in their power all attempts to secure legislation such as every other civilized nation of conse- quence has adopted to insure that wealth shall bear a reasonable part of the public burdens along with poverty.

The Needs of the Day.

Mankind has so far been ruled by things and by words, not by thought. for till the last few moments of history humanity has not been in possession of the conditions of secure and ef. seetive thinking Without ignoring in the least the consolation that has come to men from their literary edu- cation, I would even go so far as to say that only the gradual replacing of a literary by a scientific education can assure to man the progressive amelioration of his lot. Unless we master things we shall continue to be mastered by them; the magic that words cast upon things may indeed disguise our subjection or render us less dissatisfied with 1t. but after all science. not words. casts the only compelling spell upon things.-Prof John Dewey. in Science.
