ages of the past He could see the
yellow sands and himself beside Nata-
lie questioning the limpid cIearness Of
her eyes. He could see the piazza in
the soft moonlight and the rapt look
upon her face as he quoted poetry to
her; then they vanished before the
image of the afternoon with the half
entombed companion, the boots be-
Meath the sunshade and that smack
reverberating like the noise of thun-
der In the solitude Of his soul.
By evening he had pulled himself
together and he even dressed for the
regular Wednesday night hop, but he
kept carefully away from Natalie until
late in the evening, when he ran across
her standing pensiVely in a corner Of
the piazza, watching the reflection Of
the moon across the broken waters.
Her face frightened at his approach
and she impulsively put out her hand
to stop him.
Il have not seen you all day. she
cried "Have you been ill?"
Il was little upset" he answered
constrainedly.
'Is it trouble?" The soft eyes
beamed their sympathy.
I'm a way" he agreed. II saw
something this morning that rather
upset me. Around the point" he adj
ded, meaningly.
'Ah, yes" she unused 'fYou go far
up the beach to battle"

f1rmed. 81 like it better there"
'You must take me some morning.
she said. Il have never been to the
point. Is 1t not absurd?"
'You have not been to the point?"
His lip curled in scorn. Probably she
would deny the scene of the morning.
81 should like a quiet SWIM she
said softly. do you know that have
just found out why the beach is so
crowded"
"Yes?" He wondered what she
would tell him now.
cit is because of my boots,' she said
with a ripping laugh. 'Do you know
that people came to see my bathing
boots. OF all the foolish things of
which I have ever heard It seems
they were almost what you call sen.

quaint. One might almost believe that
she was sincere in her declaration of
the new discovery.
"The boots are little-individual,
he agreed. 81 could recognize them
anywhere"
Natalie did not observe the empha-
sis upon the last word. "They were
very comfortable" she said musingly.
"And the people were so disappointed

the bed. With 800 1 could not give
her as much pleasure. Is it not odd,
their love of color?"
This, then, was the explanation of
that noisy kiss. With beaming face
he caught her hand.
N Natalie" he cried.
The rest of the scene passed off as
he had planned it, even to the whis-
pered 'Yes" and that reverential first
kiss. Miss Bonnington's boots had
served their turn.

Hits Them Hard

A dispatch from Washington of
Jan. II says:
The interior department and the
forest service were attacked in
general debate in the senate today
by Senator Borah of Idaho, who
advocated general remodeling and
liberalizing of the homestead land
laws. Mr.. Borah suggested reduc-
ing from five to three years the
time after entering and before
proving up that settlers should be
allowed to leave their homesteads
to earn a living while complying
with the law as to residence.
Mr.. Borah urged that title should
be given as soon as the applicant
made proof. He said there was
frequently delay of from 10 to IL
years in getting title to homesteads
on reclamation lands, often COM
polling settlers to abandon their
land. Mr.. Borah contended that
settlers in the national forest were
at the mercy of the forest rangers.
Senator Hepburn of Idaho want
ed a land court established. Sena-
tors Warren, McCumber, Clark
(Wyoming) and Dixon said the
great trouble was with the adj
ministration of the laws. Mr..
Dixon said that Is months ago

teresting and significant facts.

Among these is the increase in
the number of farms in st. Louis
county in the decennial period from
696 in 1900 to 2.465 in 1910, and
the further fact that the percentage
of increase in farm property in St.
Louis county in the ten year period
was 489.9, a figure which is not
even approached by any other
county in the state with the ex-
ception of Lake county which had
the phenomenal increase of 1889
per cent. At that Lake county is
only portion of the st. Louis
county district.
Two years, in a few months, will
have elapsed since the census was
taken, and if the farm census could
be taken in St. Louis county the
coming June. it would undoubtedly
show an even greater percentage of
gain for the past two years.
St. Louis county has 4,161, 92O
acres of land and only 272, 995 acres
of this is in farms while only Al, Ill
acres is improved land.
St. Louis county has room for
tens of thousands of farmers and
1920 will find many of those tens
of thousands of farmers actively at
work upon St. Louis county's i'm
mense acreage of fertile lands.

ERADICATE SAN JOSE SCALE
Horticulturlst Tells How to Recognize
Destructive Little Insect and
How to Destroy 1t.

Perhaps the worst feature of an at
tack of San Jose scale is that. owing
to its small size and inconspicuous
color, 1t often remains unnoticed un-
til the tree has been seriously in
jured or even killed That the tree
lacks vigor may be recognized. but
the cause of its unthriftiness Is over
looked. Yet it is not difficult to de-
tect when one really looks for 1t. In
the early stages of infes.ation a few
scales may be found. usually cluster
ed about the buds Of the preceding
seasons growth, or even on two-year-
old wood. The mature scales are
grayish in color. being usually. but
not always, somewhat lighter than the
bark to which they are SO closely at.
tached.
The mature females are nearly cir.
cular in shape. are approximately one
sixteenth Of an inch In diameter and
each is somewhat raised in the center
to form slight protuberance or nip
pie, which is lighter in color than the
rest of its scale. II this scale is
carefully examined by means of a
small magnifier. several concentric
circles may be observed between the
nipple and the outer edge. and II 1t be
carefully raised with the point of a
pin or knife there will be revealed a
minute yellow object, the insect itself.
BY spraying with Bordeaux mixture
when trees are dormant in the early
winter and with copper sulphate solu-
tion before the buds swell. and a sec
ond applications Of the Bordeaux mix
ture as soon as the blossoms fall. the
scale may be destroyed. The same
solution properly used will answer
for scab, bitter rot and black rot.
