Deep Impression on Soldiers
From the Front.

There is so much that Is painful and
distressing about war that every SOL
,dier who has served at the front must
bring back with him many memories
that he would gladly forget. But there
are gracious and touching incidents as
we'll. one Of which a Companion sub
scriber who fought through the Civil
war thus recalls:
"Just after the second Battle of Bull
Run and that Of Chantilly, while the
Union army lay near Alexandria and
Fairfax Court House, certain Mas.
sachusetts battery was ordered back
to Washington to help garrison the
capital.
ION the outskirts of Alexandria the
column was halted, with its head op.

surrounded by an implanted picket
fence. AS the halt was ordered, the
door Of the cottage opened. and old,
white-haired man came down the
steps toward the road with his hand
raised toward the flag was was car
ried as the guidon of the battery.
"The color-bearer released the STAN
from its socket and lowered It to the
ground, and the old man, who had by
this time come up to the line. drew,
the flag toward him, reverently raised
1t to his lips. turned, and without q
word walked back into house.
The incident made deep impress

patriotism and the love of country.

CURIOUS BITS
OF TIISTORY
THE FIRST MONEY COINED
FOR AMERICA.
sy A. w. MACY.

The earliest coinage Of money
for America Is said to have
been made for Virginia In 1912.
The London Company had been
formed for the purpose Of push.
Ing colonization work In Vir.
glnia, and in 1909 Sir George
somers, an active promoter Of
the company, set out with an
expedition. His vessels encoun-
tered a violent storm and were
wrecked on the coast Of ono Of
the Bermuda islands. eomers
took possession Of the islands
In the name Of Great Britain.
He was forced to remain there
ten months, but finally reached
Virginia. The Bermudas. often
since then called somers
Islands, were largely colonlzed
by people from Virginia, and
the relations between the two
became intimate. This accounts
for vIrginia's first coins being
made there. They were Of
brass, and on enc side was rep.
resented ship under full saiI,
firing gun. On the other side
were the words, "somers 10
iand,'"and the figure Of . hog,
"in memory" az an old-time
writer quantity Gays, "of the
abundance Of hogges which the
English found on their first
landing"

When the cotton boil worm was dis
covered on farm in Texas an entomol-
ogist examined it and traced it back to
Old Mexico. A call was made on the
Texas legislation for $4,000 with
which to stamp it out of existence.
They not realizing what they were up
against, refused the money. The pest
has spread until the. cotton industry
ofg the entire south is threatened with
obstruction. The state of Texas has
spent millions of money since that
refusal fighting the boil worm and the
farmers have lost many millions more.
One writer tells us that public opinion
holds insect life to be the least import
ant form of life; and yet the Ameri-
can people are paying billion dollars
year tax to satisfy the presence and
appetite of the common house fly.
More than twelve thousand people
are killed annually by the bite of mos
quitoes, and thousands of examples
could be given of similar pests if space
would permit
The trouble is we have not learned
the difference between our friends and
our enemies. We have spent gener-
ations killing our best friends. the
birds, and have not recognized our en-
emies. Every bad bug and bad worm
has it opponent, good bug and good
worm. We are compelled to learn
these classes and to protect the one
and help destroy the other | spent
many hours last summer searching for
destructive worms, as Dr. t. T. Winner
can witness as he aided me several
times
Since writing the above, | have
found the statement that the state OF
Texas has expended s12,50O000 year
for the past fifteen years in fighting
the boil worm.
The first thing done now when a
new pest shows up is to find parasite
that will destroy it and scientific men
are roaming the earth at state and
government expense to find destroy
ers for many pests.
! Some twenty years ago knew boy
thet spent all his spare time in catch
ing, classifying and learning the lives
and habits of bugs. People said, he
was crazy and called him buggie. But
this knowledge has sent him twice

holds a position in a state college
