Length on the work to be accomplish
ed by the Men and Religion Forward
Movement. He stated that it was a
work to save men andboys for Christ.
He said that men and women were
responsible for the conditions exist.

lived just so far as they did not use

round them. He declared it was thei
duty to visit the slums, the sick and
the prisons and to help make diff

/ ton. There, he said, with health
inspector they found 10 or IL sleep
ing in a small roomin which there
was no ventilation. The health officer
informed them that such conditions
were not permissible and they replied
that 1t was the way theylived at
home, and they had come to America,
the land of liberty, and should be al
lowed to do as they pleased. They
were informed that they would not
be allowed to live like that and spread
disease throughout community
He said it was the same way with
sin, that it was not interfering with
with personal liberty to stop those
things In community which were
not for the best interests and the up
hitting of humanity. He forcibly de-
clared that 1t was not fair to American
laborers that the capitalists imported
so many foreigners who would work
for rs cents day and live under
those conditions and crowd native
born men out of their Jobs.
The speaker also drew a compari-
son between existing conditions in
the tn and south. In the south,
he said, it was a common thing to
find men and women who worked in
the best society. A man might drive
grocery wagon, but ID his character
was good he was admitted to the best
social circles. 1t was not uncommon
he said, to find woman In the best |
social circles, who kept boarders.
What would the men and women i'm |

he asked, ii among their number
there was a driver OF grocery wag-
on or a woman who kept boarding |
house? Nothing cheapens a man or
woman which is not wrong, he de-
clared.

THE COLORADO BEETLE IN IDAHO

Now is the time to watch potato
vines closely for the insect, which
has already become quite widely dis
tributed i'm the northwest part of the
state, and lis spreading considerably
each year, Shortly after the potato
vines come up, in May or early june
the beetle makes its appearance ON
the vines i'm new localities; If taken
in time its spread can be prevented
for the year, as it does not fly to
amount to anything later in the sea-
son.
The insect, which lis the common

below and i'm front, with yellow and
black stripes lengthwise ON Its back.
1t deposits its eggs i'm clusters ON, the
underside of the leaves OF the potato,
from ten to forty i'm cluster. A
single bette may deposit - or more
clusters. When the eggs hatch, the
young that emerge are soft, reddish
grubs, which devour the potato leaves
rapidly.
The insect OCCURS at present in La

COW, i'm June, 1909. 1t had already
deposited several egg-clusters ON tvs
or three adjacent hills of potatoes.
The insect was destroyed and the SUR
rounding vines carefully searched for
ALL the eggs that had been deposited
which were also destroyed. No more
BEETLES were seen that year, and
none UP to the present time. So the
the introduction of the insect was
postponed at least two years by this

DO Ghosts Haunt Swamps?

No, Never. It's foolish to fear a

deadly perils to guard against in
swamps and marshes, bayous, and
lowlands. These are the malaria
germs that cause ague, chills and fe-
Yer, weakness, aches In the bones
and muscles and may induce deadly

POLO CONTESTS

 DEMAND ATTENTION
BY MONTY

New York, May 13-Polo, the idol of the
 'plute' and the envy of the plebe, by vir- tue of the international contest, to be held on the Georgian court grounds ar Lakewood, N. J., May 31, June 3 and ', is making stronger bid for public attention than ever before. On both sides of the Atlantic. those whose bank accounts per init them to take more than a passing in terest in the game are watching daily Lakewood dispatches telling of the try outs between the rival American and Eng fish teams with an avidity that was hitherto accorded only tosthe international yacht races.
 King George, himself a rabid poloist. sanctioned the invasion of the British team selecting the best players of the army, entertaining them at the royal pal ace, bidding them do their utmost to re- gain the challenge cup which. for the first time in 23 years reposes in America, and even making elaborate arrangements to be kept informed as to the progress of the practice, together with special cable advioes after the close of each period of play during the international match.
 In America no less an interest has been manifest. August Belmont, known througf cut the United States for his in- terest in things equestrian, Is constant visitor at the Meadowbrook camp, taking an interest in the practice games between the visitors and the Americans which rivals that formerly shown in his famous race horses George Jay Gould, on whose estates the teams are playing, has given orders that the famous polo field, Geor- gian court, be put in perfect condition for the coming meet, and has, it is said, can- celled proposed trip to England in or der to be present at the international clash Nh

one of the oldest and one of the most re- stricted pastimes in the world. Its origin is traced back to the ancient courts of pagan Asia, and 1t is said to have been played hundreds of years before the Chris tian era. In fact, some devotees of the sport claim that that famous traveller, Marco Polo, when returning from one of his famous expeditions during the middle ages, first brought with him the news of the game-hence it's name. Whether this be true or not is a matter of conjecture, but certain it is that the game as played
 today has distinctly eastern origin, foi
 it was first made known to modern times through it's adoption by members of the
 British East India company during the middle of the seventeenth century. From the Indian tea merchants the game rapid ly spread to the army, where both the leisure and the means of prosecution were at hand
 It's introduction into the army marked tine nucleus of a popularity that has spread all over the world, though up to short time ago comparatively, Great Britains wealthy military claimed the game as distinctively its own.
 That this game of daring and skill has never become popular with the proe- tariat, whose sporting instincts have for Q ges feasted upon other forms of sport Is explained by the prohibtive expense. Polo like no other game known to hu- manity, is the game of the rich. It's very accoutrements are redolent with wealth. First, there is the polo pony When the game wac young in this country 1t was considered that any old hack would do so ,ong as he be young, wiry and of good heart. To this end the mustang of the dreds of hiS breed were introduced in the cast. It was soon found, however, that there was one other requisite with which to recllon-intelligence. Without this at tribute in the pony both player and mount were not only below grade, but in actual danger of fife and limb.
 The tenure of the mustang was short. Wealthy Americans imported carefully trained animals from their British neigh bors and sef about, developing the sport with distinctive American push and fer vor that soon began to make it's mark. ln- ternational matches were soon arranged, and almost early contests took place be- tween the experts of the United Kingdom and those of the wealthy leisure class in America who had become converts to the game inc superior skill of the Eng iishmen, however, proved too great test for the American visitors, who year after year went to an enormous expense in getting together men, training and breeding hoi ses and shipping their para

ALABAMA WINS THREE FROM HOWARD

University May 3.-(Special )-Ala- bama launched a third defeat on How ard college this evening, winning by a score of 5 to 1. When Alabama came to the bat in the first inning it seemed as though the spectators were going to be treated to one-sided swatfest. Motley, the visiting pitcher, was touched for five clean ones in, that di- vision, netting the crimson three runs. After the first inning, however. the Baptists frightened up somewhat and allowed the Alabama players to cross the pan only twice more. Towards only run came in the seventh inning when Captain Pruitt landed on one for four bags. He would have been out at the plate, however if Harsh. who had taken Andersons place behind the bat, had not dropped the ball.

been headed off, for the throw was short and there was plenty of time to get him after the third baseman had recovered the ball. This time the throw was fairly good, but low and Cobb, coming into the plate with one of his long feet-frst slides, succeeded In kicking the ball out of the catcher's mitt, slid over the plate and scored his run. .
 He had made the complete circuit and tallied on slow roller to the box on which he should have been thrown out at first Opportunities had been offered to get him at every base, including the plate but his dash and daring had rat tied the team in the field to such an eX- tent that no one of the feders made the play perfectly, and Cobb took advantage of the various wild throws and muffs to get a run on an infield grasser.'
 This instance is good illustration or the style of Cobb on the bases and ex- plains why he invariably leads his league in the art of scoring runs. He Is simply in class by himself as negotiator of the distance from plate to plate. Combin- ing a keen eye at the bat with wonderful speed and intelligence and nerve to take every chance the instant that it Is offered, he shines above the average cautious and mechanical player like an arc light above candle.
