Abusing Freedom.-Benjamin E
Walsh, the sociologist, said of immi-
grafton in a recent lecture in Reading:
Il would not restrict immigration
1t is true that some immigrants, en-
tering for the first time free country,
abuse their freedom. But they soon
get over that.
We are all apt to abuse unwonted
freedom. / know an Englishman who
on his arrival in New York demanded
a glass of whisky in palatial bar.
Now, in England your whisky is
measured out to you in small tin
measure, but in our bar the English
man, to his astonishment, had the full
bottle set before him. He was given
for the first time the freedom of the
bottle.
And though a rich man, he abused
that freedom. He took an enormous
drink. Then he rose and handed the
Bartender Is cents.
Hold on, sir the bartender called
after him. You've forgotten your
change
II thought the drink was Is cents,
said the Englishman.
Yes, that is So said the bartender
but that is the retail price. There's
reduction when you buy wholesale. y

average production of offspring is
about sixty. They give birth to living
young and these mature in seven days
and begin to reproduce by giving birth
to living young. When the food sup
ply becomes scarce in q given field,
they greatly increase the number Of
winged forms which migrate to other
grain fields.
Summarizing all the. experimental
work of the past with view of con-
trolling this pest the following recon-
mendations, while not satisfactory to
us. are the most practical and effective.
|. When the infestation Is first no.
ticed in the winter, during or after a
warm spell, run a weeder over the
oats both ways. This may have to be
repeated. depending on weather con-
ditions.
.. When the infestation has become
very serious, light brush tied together
and drawn over the grain dislodges
and destroys many Of the green bugs.
8. 1t is recommended that fields
badly damaged at present, considering
weather conditions he plowed and
planted to another crop.
4. Where damage is light at this
time in a given field in addition to the
above recommendations, we believe
that stimulation with soda would save
the crop.
s. If the land is very level, rolling
with heavy roller is profitable.
The above recommendations, with
the exception of No. 5, are intended for
grain that has not yet matted. Those
measures are not profitable on mat
ted grain and the only thing to do In
that case is to Craze it with cattle.
The trampling, as well as the grazing,
are destructive to the green bug.
This subject is under investigation
with the hope that something more
effective will develop-A. F. Conradi,

DIAGNOSING q Joke.


The name of the author of the fol-
lowing story is better known for poet
ry than prose. However, here is wha
s. +. Kiser perpetrated at a conven'
ton of American humorists:
Paw and NAV were sitting in th'
sitting room one evening, and prett!
soon paw began to laff.
What's wrong?" nav asst.
This is one of the best joaks l evel
saw" paw says.
"Lissen and I'll read it to you: Why
is the mistake Of a dockter not as baC
as that of a dentust?' Do you know
paw asst.
No." nav told him.
"Becoz," paw red, "one fills six fea
and the other fills an aker."
How do they do that?" NAV ast.
"Becoz they made A mistake" paw
ansered.
which does?" NAV says.
Both of them," paw told her
That's why the mistake Of the dock
ter izzent as Bad as the dentust's."
why not?" says NAV.
The dockter only fills Six feat
paw told her, and the dentust fills Ar
aker."
.I.don't understand About the feat,
nav sed. Why does he Fill six OF
them and What does he fill them
with?" Paw began to look kind oi
CLASSY out Of his eyes, and he Red the
joak again to himself So he would be
sure he Didn't make emmy mistake
Then he says:
why, you see, If a dockter would
make a mistake it mite be fatal, and
so he would fill six feat Of earth with
a man, because the man would BE
about six feat tall, you no."
II don't see mutch to laugh a bout
such a ioak," NAV told him. May
be it intent be a man at all, or he
mite be short"
"Oh, well," paw says, they just pre-
tend He would be a six footer so as
to Make it come in with the aker."
why do they want to do that?
NAV asst.
That's the joak," paw says.
Which is?" NAV told him.
why, the aker," paw ansered.
where are they emmy Joak about
that?" nav ast.
THE dentust fills it, you no" paw
sed. but he Didn't seme to be very sure
ahont IL By that time.
Yes" NAV says, but you red that
he made A mistake"
Don't you know what an aker is?
paw asst "A tooth that You fill is hn
aker, and They have akers of ground
But where does the mistake come
in?" NAV sed.
why, he Fills the rong one," paw
answered, Wiping his forrid and kind
of looking Around like if he was try
ing to see If the escape was all cut off
We'll, then, how does He fill the
aker,' NAV asst, IF the tooth he Fills
is the rong one And duzzent ake?"
Then paw got up and tore the AL
minnick in two and Threw 1t in the
waist basket and sed:
They are no use Trying to bring
emmy sunshine into This family. Let's
drop the subject. The man that r"te
the joak Was q tool and the one thai
printed it was a worse one, but I'm moi
going to rong Either one Of them by
unjust suspishens. Mebby they didn't
every try to tell it To a woman
