Chicago-Love, politics and hobble

the latest edicts of Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, overseer at Zion City. the
North Shore community founded by
the late John Alexander Dowie.
Voliva discovered that some of the
young women of his faction are ac.

IF you want to wear hobble or
harem skirts, go live in a pond with
toads and frogs, where you belong,

word of God calls for moderate dress.
and there is no reason why Christian
women should follow the dictates of
foolish old women over iIf Paris.
People of today will wear any
thing or practically nothing, just
as Dame Fashion dictates"

out Pacific Northwest.

Soaking rains that fell throughout
Oregon and the Northwest the fnt
of the week have been of immense
value to farmers. according to re
ports from Oregon and Washington
towns Coming ON the heels of one
of the longest dry periods known in
the state, when in some districts
the crop outlook was approaching
zero, the jubiation of farmers is
marked. While grain generally is
pretty well along, they say the rains
viii have a tendency to fill out the
crop, and that the quality will be
greatly improved
In twelve hours a little over half
an inch of rain fell, making a total
precipitation of 1856 inches since
September l, S.22 inches under nor
NAL. The indications are that show
ers will continue in the eastern part
of the state-the showers being more
general over the Willamette-ben
ing practically the entire state.
The rain extends over Eastern
Washington and Northern Idaho,
where .23 of an inch fell. Lincoln
county, Washington, is assured a
$4,000 ,000-bushel crop as a result of
the showers.

ALL SMOOTH FOR TREATY.
Arbitration Pact With Great Britain
Is Almost Complete.

Washington-All formalities neces-
sary to final conclusion of the general
arbitration treaty between America
and Great Britain could be completed
within four hours, assuming that
diplomatic negotiations were working
smoothly, according to official decla-
rations.
The differences between the two
countries now relate merely to
phraseology and can be adjusted read
lily. The British Ambassador has
full power to sign the treaty and the
Administration SO far has failed to
find any signs of objection to the
compact on the part of the Senate
1t is said that, Notwithstanding an
impression to the contrary, the treaty
conserves to the utmost the consti-
tutional powers of the Senate in
treaty-making and that every ques-
tion to be submitted to arbitration
must first receive the approval of the
Senate. But it is pointed out that
the very negotiation of the treaty
Will almost certainly have the effect
of lessening the number of issues to
be arbitrated.
This is explained by the fact that
through the creation of a commission
of inquiry, composed of disinterested
members of The Hague Tribunal,
most of the issues that may arise
between the two governments can be
settled satisfactorily by the adoption
of the findings of that commission
and without the necessity of pro-
ceeding to arbitration.

Wheat Rain Soaked.

Condon-Gilliam county has re
ceived its second rain storm within
the past week. In the first rain Al
of an inch fell, and in the rain
received a day or so ago rs of an
inch fell This rainfall at this time
has saved such crops of this county
as were planted late in the spring.
Fall grain is looking excellent and
after the rain in the latter part of
last week early spring wheat ad-
vanced to stage where it looks
as fine as the fall wheat.
Farmers and merchants who car
ried long faces for a week prior to
the rains of last week are predict
ing more than an average crop. At
any rate it is stated by conservative
individuals that the yield will ex-
ceed last years, when Condor alone
received 100000 bushels of wheat.

BOIL WORM HAS
FOUND An ENEMY
BLACK BEETLES WAGE RELENT-
LESS WAR ON DEsTROyERS
OF COTTON PATCHES.
WILL Save THOUSANDS
What Man Has Failed 10 Accom-
plish the Black Bugs DO for
No Compensation.

According to ]. p. Harter, govern
| ment farm demonstrators for Tulsa
county, the boil worm has found a
new enemy that may be a savior to
the cotton crop and stop losses OF
thousands of dollars annually to cot
| ton growers. II is the "black beetle"
that insect that is seen in countless
numbers under arc lights on the
streets OF Tulsa, crawling along the
streets and flying through the air.
According 10 statement of Mr..
EIarter, this insect Is an enemy to
the boil worm, and when an army of
them invades cotton field where
the boil worms are working, the
work of eXterminating the enemy Of
the cotton is quick and complete.
Black Beetles Eat 'Em Up.
The black beetles swoop down up
on a field Of cotton not for the pur-
pose Of attacking the plant for they
are not vegetarians, but live almost
entirely on meat. They seek the
boil worms and the fight is on. The
length Of time the battle is on de-
pends upon the size of the army of
beetles and also the number OF
worms in the fields The beetles
travel rapidly-they fly where long
distance is to be made, but short
distances are covered in a pedestrian
stunt.
Fierce Fight Was Waged.
Recently Mr.. Harter visited cot
ton field and there saw a battle be-
tween the beetles and worms. Count
less numbers of the beetles were
crawling over the ground, many were
crawling up cotton stalks. while others
were enjoying a diet of worms. The
plant is not harmed even though as
many as a hundred of the beetles
will mount one stalk.
When the worms are all killed,
the victorious insects will retreat to
another cotton field where worms
are operating and the same plan of
attack is made.
Aided Cotton Crop This Year.
Mr. Harter says that this Is the
first time he ever discovered the
real mission of the beetles, although
he has seen countless numbers Of
them in cotton fields this year. Ear
lier in the season much apprehen-
sion was felt among farmers because
of the presence Of the boil worm,
but reports from various sections of
the county say that the damage from
the worm was only slight and that
the numbers have been greatly re-
duced. Various reasons were given
as to the cause of their appearance,
but it is believed now that the real
reason is because Of the war made
upon them by these black beetles.
