Among the prominent delegates
was Miss Jessie Alderman, of Ava
Ion, Pa. who bore greeting and flag
to the Jerusalem convention from the
International Peace Union. She had
on board a perfectly white carrier
pigeon, which was released In Jeru-
salem to carry back to America the
response of the convention to the
greeting of the Peace Union. Miss
Alderman also bore a message from
the International Peace Union to the
crowned heads of Europe. requesting
them to refer all matters of dispute
between their countries to arbitration.
Services Held
The first Sabbath on board was a
most beautiful day We had entered
the Gulf stream some time before that
and its influence had begun to be
shown by the discarding of overcoats
and steamer rugs. 1t was so warm
that some of the less discreet among
those on board changed their winter
clothing for something lighter.
Church services were held in the main
dining room, where several hundred
persons congregated at 1890 a. m.
There was an overflow meeting on
deck. Rev. DR. John Potts. of To-
ronto, chairman of the Interna tional
Sunday School Lesson committee,
preached powerful sermon from the
10th Psalm, the goth verse, of which
he took as his text and his theme,
1.-THE voyage of life" In the after
noon, a session of the Sabbath school
was held with Marion Lawrence, gem
eral secretary of the International
Sunday School association, as super
intendent. There was an attendance
of 552 persons and a collection of
$4,000 Another inspiring service
was held in the evening. Thus
throughout the trip services were
held on each Sabbath. while on the
other days there were numerous meet
ings.

that was stealing his fish.
The half-crazed man challenged the
bear to a fight and bruln accepted. The
first round was decidedly the bears
for three ribs were caved in In John
sons side. This seemed to infuriate
the big figsherman and he went after
the bear with his fists.
Before distant fishermen and long.
shoremen could reach the scene Of the
fight, Johnson had pummeled the big
bruin until both the bears eyes were
closed. The bear was gradually get

ever, and had 1t not been for timely
Intervention the fisherman would have

The bear met a match in tenacity
and was so blinded and d'exhausted thai

brought here for treatment at Local

SPRAYING FOR CONTROL OF
INSECT AND FUNGOUS ENEMIES
Marked Increase Has Noted
Largely Due to Work of Experiment Stations In
Demonstrating Effectiveness Operation
and Profit Attending it
Some Injury
tBy W. W. BoNNs, Maine Agricultural

(By w. w. BONNS, Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station.)
The spraying of economic plants for
the control of insect and fungous ene-
mics has markedly increased within
the past decade. This is largely due
to the work Of experiment stations in
demonstrating the effectiveness of the
operation and the profit attending it.
Great improvements In spray machi-
cry and materials have helped much
towards the adoption of spraying as
an annual farm operation, and espe-
cially is this true OF the fruit growing
industry The progressive orchardist
today recognizes the necessity of
timely, thorough and intelligent appli-
cation OF insecticides and fungicides
in order to sell his fruit in the best
and most profitable markets.
The increase of spraying operations
has, however, been accompanied by
serious problems for the solution of
which the grower turns to the expert
menter. The use of bordeaux mixture,
for many years the standard orchard
spray, and even today recognized as
the best all-around fungicide known,
has been accompanied by injury to
fruit and foliage.
Complaints of such injury have been
increasing with each season and are
not confined to any section of the
country. The severity of the injury
varies in degree and in different sea-
sons. 1t has long been known that
