Praises Tariff Measure.

when the tariff bill went through the
House it was the best reform tariff meas
ure of half century. We found a dit
ferent Senate to deal with than in former
years. When this bill gets through the
Senate it will be even better than that
passed by the House
president Wilson took up the cur
rency bill, and when it is enacted the
people will for the first time recognize
that the government is the one to issue
money and not private corporations.
l meet people every day from all parts
Of the country, and l find that in every
section of our land the people are COM
mending the administration of Wood
row Wilson.
Il am glad there has been an awaken
ing in Pennsylvania. The democrats
have come into power to stay. No great
truth can be recalled and great truths
are being proclaimed Money used to be
above man, but a great change has
taken place"
Secretary Wilson presided. He de-
clared that democracy had the con-
fidence Of the people. The party, he
said. was fulfilling its pledges.

BRYAN LAUDS WILSON
IN YORK, PA, SPEECH
Two Thousand Hear Secretary
of State and Others Address
Democratic Clubs.

YORK, Pa, September 3.-Two thou
Sand persons heard Secretary of State
William j. Bryan, Secretary of Labor
William B. Wilson and Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer at the High School Au-
ditorium last night. where the closing ex-
ercises of the convention of the State
Federation Of Democratic Clubs were
held.
Secretary Bryan congratulated Pennsyl-
vania democracy on its stand for the
rights of the people and eulogized the
work of Secretary Wilson and Represent
alive Palmer. Both these officials, he
said, were great aids in making the ad-
ministration of President Wilson sue
cess. Mr. Bryan told of the work done in
Congress by the democrats and declared
that the rule of democracy had come TO
stay, because the party had the conh-
dence of the people and were keeping
their pledges. In part he said:
when l came to Congress thirty-three
years ago l thought Pennsylvania re-
publican state. Later met democratic
representative from your state anu L
found that your depravity was not total.

and it is the point of view OF the people
Of the country. He has great single
ness of purpose. History will say OF
Woodrow Wilson that he did not have to
ask any one what to think. He makes
up his own mind, and, when his mind Is
finally made up. it is in harmony with
that of the people. Since taking Office he
has never looked around, but straight
ahead He has never sacrificed public
interest for party.
President Wilson has looked at the tar

uNcolllNG NEW ROPE.

The proper way to take rope from
a coil is to draw it from the middle.
There are two ways to do this-a
right and a wrong way. If it happens
to be done the wrong way the rope
will become twisted in manner that
will make it almost unmanageable. II
done the right way it will come out
without any twisting or snarling and
all the rope in the coil may be drawn
out without trouble. To do 1t prop
srly the rope should be uncoiled

LIFE HISTORY. The adults Of the
cutworms are moths with dark fore
wings marked with lighter or darker
spots and bands. The hind wings are
lighter in color than tho fore wings
and both pairs of wings are folded
over the back when the moths are
resting. These moths fly about, es-
pecially at night, and are attracted in
large numbers to lights. During the
past summer the moths were espe-
cially numerous in houses and many
specimens We're received by me from
anxious housewives who imagined
them to be "millers,' whose offspring
would work in WOODEN goods. The fe
male cutw orms deposit their eggs in
the late summer in grass land or in
land where crop has been allowed
to grow up in grass and weeds, laying
then in clusters on the stems or leaves
of grasses or weeds or on stones or
twigs.
The little caterpillars that hatch

ever vegetation is available until frost

until finally they hollow out small

and hibernate until the following

are exceedingly hungry after their
long fast and attack any vegetation
at hand with surprising voracity.
