He Is Quick 70 See Each Opportunity,

In the present trend Of the times
when every movement is regarded by

/ history OF reverses in business might
/ be summed up In two words, Lost

Daily we hear the cry, IF had only

fate knocked at his door no one
opened.
In such cases the man who was
asleep wakes up to the realization OF
the cnance that has passed. There is
no one who has not had the chance to
climb higher some time or other. But
Khen the psychological moment ar
rived be was not alive to the issue
Contrary TO the general belief. a

Is the Bible Inspired.

Eitor Chieftain: Again l see Cap
tain Whites statement that careful
reading of the Old and New Testament
has convinced hi mthat it is the in
spired word of God. Farley P. Pratt,
of Mormon fame, who wrote book
called "A Voice of Warning" says the
average Christian believes the Bible
to be inspired as long as it is shut
but open it ana read it to him and then
he didn't mean it that way
Now~Captain. in Genesis read that
God put Adam and Eve in the Garden
of Eden with instructions that of all
the fruit of the garden they should
freely eat but of the tree of knowledge
the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt
surely die. The serpent said the day
thou eatest thereof thou shalt not die,
thou shall become as one of u.s. Did
they die the day they eat of the for
hidden fruit. No lest they eat of the
tree of life and live for ever God had
to turn them out of the garden and
guard it. Now Capt. you may believe
that God lied. and that the serpent

There are two or three days just

so likely to shatter as when they
are left until dead ripe. The best
form Of shock will vary with the

them through the sweat in the bin.

LEAF MINER OF
INTERESTING HABITS

The trumpet creeper, one Of our
most beautiful Of vines, is, COM
pared with other ornamental plants,
relatively free from pests, but it is
subject to the attacks Of a singular
small black beetle that may injure
the leaves 50 badly and cause them
to become s. unsightly as to render
the plant valueless for the purposes
for which it is planted.
The adult insect is a hattish elon-
gate beetle belonging to the same
family as the cucumber beetle.
Seen on the leaves in July when it
IS abundant as an adult, it looks
like a bit of bark, or other rubbish,
and since it remains quiet to escape
detection. with its legs folded up
about the body. and drops to the
ground if the leaves are disturbed,
the collector is more likely to col
iect it by accident, than from a
recognition Of it as an insect.
The females begin placing their
eggs promptly in June, and may Be
found on the plants until July I8

are very striking and character
istic. The larva penetrates the
leaflet above the mid-rib and works
toward the center IN a straight
course at first, then at intervals
makes excursions to the right or
left on each side Of the mid-rib,
and often reaches nearly to the
margin Of the leaflet before turn
ing back and starting another. The
final result is a branched mine with
long curved or slightly torturous
extensions on each side of the mid
rib. When ready to pupate the
larva returns to the center Of the
leaflet and pupates in the central
chamber over the mid-rlb.
Treatment for the insect is sim
pie. The adults a be destroyed
