BRITISH CLAIM OF $4,000
AND 100 YEARS INTEREST.

The United States may now have
to pay 81 $4,000 as satisfaction in
full for a damage award of $4,000,
which this government should have
paid in 1918. The difference is
made up by interest ON $4,000 for
one hundred years at per cent.
The original is ACKNOWLEDGED as a
just claim for the improper seizure
of the Lord Nelson, a British ship,
on Lake Ontario in 1912. The pay
ment OF so gross an interest penalty
will doubtless be further contested.
Should this $4,000 claim for the
Lord Nelson continue unpaid for an
other hundred years at per cent
at compound interest this country
will owe a sum equal to the entire
wealth of the United States.-De-

JUNE Ia "CHINCH BUG" DAY.
This Pest Has Cost 800, OOO, 900 in
the Past Six Years.

One hundred million dollars, pre-
sumably, is lot of money, enough
money to make big change in the
circulation of a country even SO big
as North America. And yet in the
last six years, damage representing
the destruction of property worth
approximately one hundred million
dollars, has been done by the nasty
little insect called the chinch bug.
Wherefore the farmers of Kansas
are beginning a campaign against
the chinch bug family. All this
money might have been saved years
ago If the methods used successfully
on the state farm had been employ
ed elsewhere. The Kansas agri-
cultural college has proved over and
over again that nothing but bar
riers will stop the chinch bugs in
the summer and nothing but fire
will kill them In the winter. Chinch
bugs have lived through cold 20 de-
grees below zero.
The most serious damage to wheat
has been done this spring over large
areas. These bugs will soon be In
the corn and sorghum and cause
tremendous loss. The time for far
mers to organize has arrived b.
C..Johnson, superintendent OF farm
ers' institutes and demonstrations,
is urging the farmers institutes. ev-
erywhere in Kansas to meet Satur-
day, June IA at q o'clock in the
afternoon and organize campaign
against the bugs. Oranges, farmers
unions and the anti-horse thief as
sociations are urged to take part in
the campaign. The suggested pro-
gram is:
Life history Of the chinch bugs;
summer control; the dust barrier:
the oil and tar barrier; steps in
organization for united action; aut-
umn control.
