the people were getting too stylish for
such music. The French harp is in

youth, and not 4 few Of the men. could
play tunes upon the, harmonica, and
1t seemed that some Of them could
bring out more music on the small
instrument than many others could not
produce on a larger instrument, and
oft in the summer evening in the small
towns the sound of the French harp
could be heard away up the dusty

The harp player and the whistler
have passed away like a dream and
such is only memories Of the days

This rapid growth in trade with

tropical and sub-tropical products.

SWEET POTATO BEETLE.

C. M. Evans, superintendent of the
extension department of A. & NJ. col
lege, says:
The sweet potato weeyil in general
appearance looks like an ant, but it is
a snout beetle. The color Of the beetle
is dark steel blue; the head is black
while the thorax and legs are red. 1t
is about one-quarter of an inch long
1t is the larvae stage of the beetle
which does the most damage. The
beetle lays small yellowish white eggs
in the cavities where it has been feed
ing. These soon hatch out and burroW
down the stem into the potato itself.
If the infection is bad they soon riddle
the entire potato, making it unfit for
ANYTHING except stock feed. The in
lection can be detected only when the
POTATOES are dug, that is, to any great
extent.
mo practical method has been
evolved for fighting infested fields,
The only method is prevention. This
can be done by destroying all vines
and infected potatoes, and for the next
crop secure no seed from the infected
sources. planting them in the field as
far removed from the infected fields
as possible. Weeds nearly related to
the sweet potato plant, like morning
g%lories. also harbor the pest and
| should be carefully destroyed"

The saloon in politics is a brazen,
diabolical attempt to corrupt the gov
eminent and prostitute it to the basest
purposes. The church in politics is a
mixture of fanaticism and hypocrisy.
1t is questionable which of the two is
more dangerous to liberty. Free in
situations can not last long if either
gets control.

1t is true that the town people use
the public roads less frequently than

This is a case where it is the interest
of all to work together for the common
good.
