III ASHINGTON.-When it to
w a keen understanding Of domes-
tic economy. there is no man living
who has anything on Representative
J. Hampton Moore OF Philadelphia.
He has completed a list of luxuries
which shows that the candy con-
sumed in a single year represents
the cost OF a complete chain of canals
from Boston to Key West. that the
5ewelry sold represents twice the cost
Of building the Panama canal, and
hat the nickels annually dropped on
soda water counters are sufficient to
establish a complete inland water
way system.
The statistics with which Represent
alive Moore backs his assertions are
colossal. They represent his investi-
cation into the reason for the high
cost OF living, and prove that the in
diVidual himself is in a large meas
ore responsible for the decline of the
dollars value.

Corn and cowpeas, soy beans, vel

Run a harrow and fill the burrows
and plant the BEST seed corn over
the fertilizer. Harrow until the corn
is about four inches tall, then give
shallow cultivation every week and

p%erience, however, indicates that trees
thoroughly sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture or lime wash are apt to be-
avoided by the cicada, especially II
there are other trees or woods in the
neighborhood on which they al
oviposit. The most reliable means Of
protecting nurseries and young
orchards is by collecting che insects in
bags or umbrellas from the trees in
early morning or late evening when
they are somewhat torpid. Such
collections should be undertaken at
the first appearance of the cicada and
repeated each day.

TAFT OPPOSES change
in ANTITRUST LAW
UphOIdS Decision Of Supreme
Court

Detroit, Sept 19.-President Taft 1T
a luncheon here today made the first
of what may be termed the political
speeches of his six weeks tour of the
country He took up the trusts" and
clearly outlined his views concerning
them. The president defended the de-
cisions of the United States supreme
court in the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust cases.
There was a distinct campaign note
in Mr.. Taft's challenge to his ancient
political enemy, William J. Bryan, 10
point out what particular contract or
restrain of trade he would condemn
which would not be condemned within
the denition of the statute as laid
down by Mr. Chief Justice White.
Mr.. Taft added rather significantly
that persons who do not understand
the decisions and really do not under
stand the law have had great deal
to say about them. It was not fair
to the court, he declared, to say that
it had read the word reasonable"
into the antitrust statute.
Il am entirely opposed to an
amendment of the anti trust law,
said the president
1T is now a valuable government
asset and instrument. Tested and
brought into beneficial use by 20
years if litigation and construction
by the highest court, why should we
imperil it's usefulness by expert
ments?"
Mr. Taft referred to the fact that
Immediately after the trust decisions
were handed down by the supreme
court, Senator LaFollette spread on
the public records a quotation from
one of the presidents messages as
being at variance with the rule f
reason" laid down by the court.
The president asserted that his
views as expressed in the message
were in exact accord with the de-
cisions.

The fine ART
OF Home MAKING

An editor has said, MANY women 9t
the present generation have never
learned the fine art of home-making.
1t is a pleasant phrase-"the fine
art of home making and it conjures
| up a beautiful picture of house all
of bright, CHEEKY rooms, where the
furnishings are comfortable and har-
monious, the kind that can be used
and yet delight the eye wherever it
retsup on them; of well-cooked, appe-
thing, daintily served meals, of house
hold machinery that runs noiselessly;
of a gracious mistress, pleasant, smil-
ing, loving, and with always hosplt-
able welcome for the guest; of happy,
healthy children; of a master who
finds life good because of the love that
awaits him here when the days work
| is over.
The land was filled with such homes
so years ago Are they disappearing
today?
Without a doubt, such hime de-
ponds largely upon it's mistress. And
withiut doubt the women who know
how to thus manage a home are stead
lily diminishing in numbers. Will it
follow, then, that this Oldtime home
! of comfort and cheer and hospitality
will disappear? win the fine art Of
home-making gradually become lost
art?
It is a question not easily answered.
Many forces are at work today that
were unknown when the fine art Of
Ihome-making flourished. We may have
to change our ideals somewhat in re-
gard to the perfect home, and we
probably will have to change our at
titude toward the home-maker.
For one thing, it takes much larg-
er amount of money today to run the
ideal home than it did several genera
tons ago. For another, good helpers
are difficult to get Therefore, the
woman who is either without money
or without servants must do the work
herself.
Fifty years or so ago she did this
without loss to herself in any percep-
tible way. All her sisters were doing
it, and the work had its own rewards
But today this is different. With our
more complex living, if she does her
own work she has little time or energy
for anything else, and frequently she
has little money. And without theo-
retically, the home-maker is set upon
a throne; in reality she is usually left
in the kitchen, and neglected for those
who have cultivated arts other than
those of home-making. All about her
her sisters with their purses full lof
their own money and their lives full
of interests and pleasures. And when
she looks out from her kitchen win
dows and sees them with their larger
lives and well-filled pocket-books,
home-making begins to pail.
These changes may compel us to
change our ideals or the home. And,
though we may keep the home atmos-
