Farmers and fruit growers troubled

l%ime-sulphur, kerosene emulsion and
whale oil soap, as follows:
For scale insects of such a type as
the San Jose. use the l~ime-sulphate
spray of winter strength. For the soft
scales, such as occur on the black
berry, prune and plum, use the kero-
sene emulsion or whale oil soap.
Kerosene emulsion is prepared as fol-

four gallons of water may be used as
a summer spray for soft scale.
For plant lice on roses and garden

MAY RECALL .HAAK0N, KING OF NORWAY

According to common gossip in the
courts of Europe. King Haakon OF
Norway is rapidly losing favor. And
Judged by the same source of in
formation. it seems apparent he will
soon be discouraged by the Storthing
into giving up his throne.
Just after Haakon left Norway
early IN December, with Queen Maud
and Prince Olaf, for London, to do
their Christmas shopping, the Repub-
lican party introduced a bill into the
Storthing abolishing all decorations.
This bill is certain to be passed,
and as the power to confer decora-
lions is the only privilege enjoyed by
the king without securing the san
ton of his ministers, the force of the
intended legislative attack is obvious.
Almost Immediately prior to the
introduction Of the bill Haakon con
ferred the grand cross Of st. Olaf on
retiring Minister Thorne.

charge made that the king and queen

THIS SENATOR AvERSE TO ARBITRATION

In stating his position regarding
the Panama Canal situation, Senator,
James O'Gorman, of New York, said: 4
The canal is an American canal.N
constructed by American engineers
through the liberal appropriation Of
funds by the American congress, and.
above all, it is constructed upon
American territory, and I am amazed
that anybody should have the hardi-
hood to contend that it should not be
administered by American law.
We should not lose sight of the
fact that even if we were willing to
submit this domestic question to an
arbitral court it would be Impossible
TO find anywhere an impartial tri'
bunal to try it.
"Nominally, the case as it stands
is one between the United States and
Great Britain; as a matter of fact,
the controversy raised by Great Brit
ain would be one between the ship
ping interests of the United States
and the shipping of the entire world.

NORWAY.

A dispatch from Christiania says
that Captain Thorvald Nielsen, COM
mander of the Fran, Roald Amund-
sens vessel on his South pole expedi-
ton, arrived in Christiania from Bue-
nos Ayers Friday, Dec. 6. He was met
at the station by a group of about a
dozen prominent scientists and lead
ing men of Ch%ristiania.
Captain Nielsen resembles Captain
Amundsen in his aversion of motor
iety. He hates ceremonies and for
malities and was evidently i'll at ease
when confronted by only the dozen
men on the committee that received
him. The best efforts of the news
paper reporters to secure on inter
view resulted in nothing more than a
few brief replies. Capt. Nielsen was
received by the king at the palace in
the afternoon.
The following is part of what pur-
ports to be a cablegram from Kris
tiania: A special committee of the
storthing reported favorably on the
, proposed amendment to the Nor
wegian constitution to abolish the
granting of decorations. There are
said to be eighty-two members of the
storthing pledged to vote for the
amendment and there is every pros
pect that decorations will be abol
ished. The movement to dispense
with these honors recently received q
decided impetus when H. Thorne, a
cabinet minister and former speaker
of the s%torthing, who is a strong con.
sentative and anti-democrat, returned
to King Haakon the grand cross of
st. Olaf, the highest distinction in
Norway.
What seame1 have to suffer. The
brig Gustav from Kragero was wreck.
ed at night in Langesund ford. The
crew, consisting OF eight men, tried
to save themselves on planks, but
three of them went down at once
Three others succeeded in reaching
a rock, and the captain and the mate
tied themselves to the mast of the
wreck. When people came to their
rescue one of those on the wreck was
saved, another had been beaten to
death by the waves, and the third
n could not be reached in time.
When the captain and the mate had
been tied to the mast for twenty-four
hours they were found by another
party. The captain was so exhausted
that he died in the arms of his res.
cuers, but the mate was saved. Thus
it will be seen that only two out OF
the eight were saved.
Captain Hjalmar Johansen, an Arc.
tic explorer who had achieved much
success in polar research, took his
own life in Kristiania. He had been a
member of Captain Road Amund-
sens recent Antarctic expedition, but
had been left at the base of supplies
when Amundsen and four compan.
ions pushed their way to the South
pole. Captain Johansen had been
