An Experience With the Customs
 Officials at kermanshah.
 In eastern lands the collecting of customs dues Is attended with per- haps more than ordinary fraud In his book, Prom Batum to Baghdad, Mr. W. B Harris has told his experi- ence with the customs officers of Ker- manshah. The incident had its com icaI feature as well as it's serious les son:
 Two hours later than had intended we made a startand. proceeding through the long tunnel-like bazaars. emerged from the town. Here fate had annoy anee in store for me. At the local GUS tom house the guards wanted to search US and make us pay duty on our scanty baggage.
 had hired a mule to carry our sad dlebags as far as Baghdad. using the owner of the mule. a willy old Arab who accomIan nied us. as guide. These two. mule and man, the guards absO- lutely refused to let pass without my bestowing perfectly illegal and Illog- IcaT baksheesh. This I stoutly refused to do. and. knowing that in the east a show of temper Is of no avail. 1 swal- lowed my wrath and argued coolly and collectedly with the soldiers.
 Soon they confessed that they had no right to touch either me or any animal of mine. but they maintained that the mule and the rider were both Arabs and that therefore could not interfere.
 This was just what I wanted, and solved the matter in a minute. put the Arab on my horse and rode h1a mule. There was no question about it then. The guards on their own con fession could stop neither me nor my horse. and we rode quietly on amid the laughter of the men to change our mounts again fifty yards past the custom house.

BLACK POTATO BUGS

Considerable uneasiness has been
caused during the past few days in
regard to the sudden appearance of
the black potato buga migratory bug
that moves rapidly and leaves devas-
tation in it's trail. This bug has ap-
.peared in this locality, but does not
appear to be present, as vet, in num-
bers sufficient to cause widespread
disaster to the potato crop.
The ordinary treatment by spraying
with Paris green does not appear to
kill the migratory bugs for the reason
that they will not remain long enough.
But the spraying of Paris green will
prevent the migratory bug from
alighting on the yines-if the. Paris
green is there first. Prof. Bolley
states that a lead arsenate is better
as a destroyer of the black potato bug
than Paris green, and he has been de-
luged with inquiries as to the
treatment of the vines.
