WATER is IRELAND'S
CURE FOR WARRANTS

stay where he is. Once in a long while
a desperate character is put on the
treadmill who is so thoroughly stub
born and headstrong that he will make
no effort to keep from being carried
down. He goes down and gets a duck
ing and then is taken out, but for him
there is something else in store, guar-
anteed to make the LATEST and most
"vag" in the world work, and
work hard.
Another Form Of Water Cure.
He is placed in a tank where the
water comes about to his waist, but is
always running in. There is a force
pump in the tank and he is told that
by keeping the pump working hard
he a hold the water at its present
stage. It's a case of pump or drown
with him, and there is not on record
any case where a 'vag' drowned in
that tank.
After a few hours Of good solid work
it begins to dawn on him that after
all the rock pile would be a lazy mans
job by the side of such pumping as
no is compelled to do to keep the water
from rising over his head and when
the guard gets around to ask him If he
would prefer the rock pile, he always
finds him dead willing.
A Pertinent Suggestion.
The jails in Ireland would be full
all the time If the prisoners there
could lie around and sleep, eat. play
cards and read. as they do in some
jails. II a water tank such as I have
described could be placed back of the
city jail and the police judge could
have the power to sentence 'vags' to
anywhere from n to 10 hours In the
tank at hard pumping. believe me.
'vags' would soon be so scarce as to
be curiosities here"

An Uiustrious A1ab.

Among the illustrlous patriots of his
tory no name shines with greater lus-
ter than that of Abd-el-Kader, an Arab
and a Mohammedan. His life was one
long series of magnificent struggles
and crushing defeats. His chosen
work was to reform the political and
social system of his native country
Algiers. but his hopes were cruelty
frustrated. For 10 years. at the head
of the little Algerian army, he fought
heroically against France. one of the
great military powers of the world. He
yielded only when every possible de-
Tense had failed. and was held a cap
tive our years. Through 1t ali he pre-
served an exalted character, and set a
fine example for h Christian world.
His closing years were spent at Da-
lmascus, in study and good works. In
1860, when a terrible Moslem outbreak
occurred in that city, he helped to re-
press the uprising. and saved the lives
of thousands of Christians. For this,
and in honor Of his exalted character.
France conferred upon him the order
of he Cross OF the Legion Of Honor:
Russia, that Of the White Eagle: Prus-
sia, that Of the Black Eagle; and
Greece, that OF the Savior. England
sent him q magnificent gun. inlaid with

ON TRAIL OF sWINDLERS.
Americans Fleeced French Jewellers
Out of 100000, It's Said.

London, Jan. 20. - The officials Of
Scotland Yard believe they are hot on
the trail of an American woman and n
male accOmplice who are accused of "A
robbery Of jewels valued at 100000
from Noury Of Paris. Some Of the
jewelry has been found in the shops Of
London pawnbrokers.
The beginning of the swindle dates
back to last June, when an American
woman who was staying at the Ritz
hotel in Paris went to Nourys and
purchased some small articles, which
she paid for in cash. Three months
later Noury got letter from the
American woman from Hampstead, n
London suburb, asking him To send
some sleeve links there, NOury did so,
and the articles were paid for on de
livery. Later on the woman wrote
from Bayswater asking the Partisan
tewelPr to send jewels Of the value of
$4,000 and inclosed a bill of exchange
payable in March. Five pearl neck
laCes were sent, and last week the
Paris merchant shipped on approval
diamonds, pearl necklaces and ear
rings to the same woman at a Mayfair
address.
The firm sent several requests for
payment for the jewelry and on receiv-
ing no reply instituted inquiries.

London, Jan. pa Peking dispatch
TO the Daily Telegraph says a New

treasures of the imperial palace at
Mukden, Manchuria, says the 10000
pieces of porcelain there are practi-
cally worthless. The best of the por
celains have been removed, but there
are pearls, gold bronzes and objects
of art which are highly valuable.
The sale of the imperial treasures
in Peklng has begun. Partisan deal
ers have already bought several mil
lion francs worth of pearls. The
Mancnu princes are reserving the best
porcelain, for which they are asking
fabulous prices.

Making JahOtS.

Many of those who admire the fan
cy neckwear and dainty jabots with
frills and lace to be seen in the shops
may not know that some of those
designs can be copied quite easily.
To make one of white and pale
pink linen take a triangular piece of
pink linen and apply to the white by
means of a row of buttonhole stitch
ing. Groups Of coinspots are then
worked on the linen, and a narrow
lace edging is sewed around the lin
en-, which is then laid in narrow
pleats and stitched in place.
An oblong piece of fine white cot
ton voile, with a pointed end, has
three tiny thread tucks on the point,
run by hand. Wide lace is then
sewed fast to the edge, with the
corners mitred, where the point
turns. This is then laid in a triple
box pleat, the straight edge turned
over and sewed down, and a row of
small black satin buttons sewed
down the centre.
From the topmost button two lit
tie inverted revers of black satin ex-
tend halfway to the point. This
makes novel looking jabot.
The jabot of embroidery, net and
Irish lace is very elaborate, but with
little trouble it can be made at home.
If you happen to have a bit of old
embroidery, say the fichu that your
grandmother wore when she was a
young woman, it will make beauti-
full bit for the centre of the jabot.
Othrwise you can buy a rever of en-
broidered linen and attach the pleat-
ed net to the under side of one edge.
On the other side is pleating of lin
en- edged with Irish crochet
Pale blue linen embroidered with
a dainty vine is Joined to a pointed
piece of white linen worked with
small eyelets to form the side re-
vers, that has an under pleating Of
fine lace edged linen.

BRYAN'S IDEA ADOPTED.
Publicity of Judseship Endorsements
Adopted by House.

Adopted by House.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The hand of
William ]. Bryan was laid on the house
Of representative and that body gave
its Endorsement to one proposition that
the Nebraskan has been advocating in
season and out for long time. The
house adopted an amendment to a ju-
dietary bill. the amendment providing
that before the president shall appoint
any district, circuit or supreme judge
he shall make public all Endorsements
made in behalf Of any applicant"
Mr.. Bryan has repeatedly urged in
the Commoner the enactment of a law
of this sort. While President Taft was
on his western trip last summer Mr.
Bryan made a public speech on the
subject, to which Mr.. Taft replied.
Only short time ago Mr.. Bryan,
speaking at the Jackson day banquet
here, urged this scheme for publicity
of judicial Endorsements, but the Dem
ocrats did not anticipate that one of
their number would spring the propo-
sition. Representative CullOp of Indi-
ana, Bryan follower, turned the trick.
He offered the above amendment to
the Evans bill, which creates an addi-
tional district judge in Chicago and
drops one circuit judgeship. the latter
being the one caused by the resigna-
ton of Judge GrOsscup.

The Rose Scale,

There is a mealy, white scale in
sect often found upon rose bushes,
and raspberry and blackberry plants,
which is sometimes mistaken for the
San Jose scale. Growers of roses,
raspberries and blackberries should
watch for this and treat it according
to the directions given by Prof. II. A.
Surface, State Zoologist of Pennsyl-
vania, Harrisburg.
He says, although this pest re-
sembles superflcially the San Jose
scale, it is by no means the same
pest, nor is it so serious. While the
San Jose scale may attack nearly all
fruit trees excepting the Kieffer pear
and sour cherry, and also several
kinds of shrubbery, and, indeed,
some other trees, the Rose scale is
practically confined to rose bushes
and berry bushes.
The scales are very white and cir
cular in shape, and are easily brush
ed from the plants attacked. They
are, like the scale insects, difficult to
kill if the right materials are not
used, but very easily destroyed if one
understands spraying for scale in
sects The lime-sulfur solution made,
diluted and applied exactly as for
San Jose scale, and at the same time
or in other words while the bushes
or vines are dormant, will be suffi-
cient to entirely control or eradicate
this pest Either home-boiled or COM
mercial lime-sulfur solution will give
satisfactory results, providing it is
used thoroughly There is no danger
applying it too strong for the well
fare of the plants"

Leading Crops of State.

The leading crops of the state in
the order of their Importance, as
judged by value, are hay and forage,
1924, 900; corn, S27,331, 900;
wheat, $22,921, 900; oats, S14,422,-

s3,926,0OO; buckwheat, S2,S96,000,
and rye, $2,674,00O.
Tobacco shows the highest aver
age value per acre, being more than
five times as great as wheat and
over twice that of potatoes. The
average value per acre of all cereals
combined is S16.27, which is slightly
above the average of hay and forage
and less than for either corn or
wheat
In average value per acre corn ex-
ceeds the other cereals, and wheat
is a close second, while buckwheat
and rye are less than one-half, and
oats approximately tWo-thirds as
great as corn in that respect. The
average value per acre of hay and
forage is about three-fourths that
of corn.
