FOR REFORMING THE SALOONS

The success of the prohibition movement in some parts of the west has prompted the brewers to reccg- nize that the saloons with their speci- fc evils are 8 relic of Aarbarism and must be reformed.
 Rudolph Brand, president of the United States Brewing company, in a public statement. gives approval to the effoCts of Mayor Busse of Chicago 10 stop the sale of liquor in disor- derly resorts and to keep disorderiy women away from saloons. He favors the saloon ~that has no gambling and no diserderay house features.'s AdoIph- hs Busch. the great brewer of St t-ouiA has expressed himself very Strongly along me same lines.
 In the faoe Of such declarations From iesdfns men in the liquor busi- ness, says the Chicago News. there . no excasn for public oficials who fail to reqvire all persons conducting
 aleens or other places where liquor B sold to live up to the standards hed by law.
 MT. Brand goes so far as to depre- cxte the prevalent treating habit. It is dffdsult to deal effectively with fixed IlAi,ita. yet the improvement of con ditions with reference to the use of 1frier requires radical change in this respect General agreement that troatfng is hane6ul would be an i'm pr tan4 step in the right direction.
 It ia not likely. however, that the bR wers will be able to bring tho sa- 1osns to non-treating. unattractive stAtus of trolley car stations, for the New England saloon keeper can see nothing for himself in business con- ducted along these lines.

"A WORD ABOUT KNOCKING"

Why is it always so much easier to "knock' than to take off ones coat and do constructive piece of work? Individuals. communities, and even or habit. Somebody higher up' is usu- ally the victim of this promiscuous censure and abuse. Things don't go quite right in the political world or in the home, Or the church, or the school, and straigIrtway the tribe of knockers receives numerous accessicns. There are always a plenty Of persons who seem to be born with a knocking pro pensity. Probably can say little to change their disposition, but people who at certain times in their lives are influenced by the knocking germ, when it gets rampant may, perhaps, be amenable to a few suggestions

If that be the case. then the right men to chide and stimulate are yourself. your fellow citizens, your neighbors, rela- tives and business associates Any community can nave as SOOQ an en- forcement of law as it really wants to have.
 Before you knock, undertake to get the point of view of the man at whom you are firing. In what way fs he linn tied by circumstances concerning which you are ignorant? What is his own Justification for the course which he has taken? Has he on his part any reason to complain because of what you have done or failed to do?

To Clean Walls.

One of the best ways of cleaning wa1ls-that is, removing the dust from thenl--is to take a large wad of cot ton batting and place 1t in loosely woven piece of soft cheese cloth and go over every part of the walls with it. changing to a clean piece of cheese cloth when necessary.
 This is an improvement over the old plan of wipinE the walls with the bat ting alone because it is impossible to leave the tiTiest atom of lint when the battinx is enclosed in the cheese cloth.

The fire was discovered in one Of

WAR ON NEW INSECT.
Entomoogist Rumsey Says Pest Is
Destroying Orchards.

Prof. w. u Rumsey, state entomol-
ogist Of West Virginia, has been at
Keyser investigating new insect pest
that threatens serious loss to the
fruit growers of the state. On the
peach trees Of the Allegheny Orchard
Company he found walking sticks
by thousands, the first time, as he ex-
plainai, that he had seen them in
any numbers, except on forest trees,
their natural habitat. They are now
half an inch long and grow TO three
inches long as autumn and
last season by the early part of Sep
TENDER had some OF the trees entire
ly defoliated
Professor Rumsey suggests that an
experimental test be made on few
trees with a solution OF four pounds
of arsenate of lead and four pounds
OF lime to so gallons OF water. A
standard solution OF half this strength
advised to be used by government en-
tomologists failed to rid the trees OF
the pests.

PLoWs UP $4,000.
Pillow Point Strikes Brick Vault Which
Contained the Coin.

OOntdtHc0 inc Coin.
Asbury Hammond, near Laurel, Del
has dug $32, 900 in gold and silver coin
out OF a grave On his farm in the last
week, and all his neighbors are
busy ploughing over their own
fields in the hope of a similar wind
fall. The local bank has taken the
money and given Hammond full
credit for it, so that there can be no
question of the value of the find. Ham
mond was a scrub farmer whose land
barely supported him.
This sudden access of fortune came
when his plough point struck brick
vault on a sandy hill He got pick
and opened the vault. AS soon as he
recovered from the horror of seeing a
skeleton there he went inside. A bag
of coin lay at the skeletons head and
another at the feet. One OF them con
tanned Spanish and American gold and
silver, worth $4,000, and similar
contents in the other We're worth
SIS 900. The coin looked new, al
though the latest date on any OF it
was 1921.
Hammond at first took only one bag
to the bank. When he appeared with
the second the news of his luck had
spread and all his friends wanted to
hear about it. Since then hundreds
of people have gone out to his farm to
look at the grave.
