ENer5 one agrees that IL costs more

opinions differ as to the cause. There

is a much more serious problem than
il seems to be offhand, and the vari-

Private citizens and public officials
have long been awake 10 these prob
lens in the eastern states, but wide
spread interest in the west is of more
recent manifestation. This is largely
due TO the fact that practically all or
the diseases and pests which infest
our ornamental shade trees have first
shown themselves upon the eastern

from foreign countries OH nursery

At the present time large areas in
the east are practically dcnuded OF

to help our trees combat these and

\ London thcolOgian has recently
claimed tor the prophets OF old
knowledge Of science far greater than
modern man gives them credit for.
lie says that they prophesied because
they understood perfectly the laws Of
nature.
For instance, the weather moves in
cycles and that vas fact known ages
ago. The cycle IS nineteen years.
Elijah predicted "A drought in the land,
AS the Lord God of Israel liveth
there shall not be dew nor rain these
years. but according to my word
The scientists OF those days could
have predicted the drought as well as
Elijah. Tor IL was known Mt that time
that droughts move in cycles Of nine
teen years. says the Chicago Tribune,
and it was then just i2Xi9 years after
Pharodh's drought in the days Of Jo-
the drought in the time Of Isaac. as
recorded i'm Genesis XVI
Nineteen years after Elijah called
down the drought and famine on the
land Elisha said, For the Lord hath
called for q famine
The drought in David's time was
not predicted. but 1t was explained
~ being because Of saul and his
| "bloody house" Yet IL occurred just
s6x19 years after Pharaoh's drought
In all probability the astronomers
of the ancient world were familiar just
az they were with the cycles of
eclipses 1000 years before our era. So
undoubtedly the Egyptians knew of
the cycles of the fat ana lean years
and the Jews carried the knowledge
! with them when they left Egypt.

CAN'T FIND GAMBLING
AT SARATOGA TRACK

ALBANY, Aug. Ex-Governor Sulzer
has not been notified as yet of the
existence of gambling at the Sara
toga race-track and he expressed the
hope that nothing would be done for
the rest Of the meeting that would
compel him to close up the track. He
said neither District Attorney Nc
Kelvey nor Sheriff Crippen, who have
large forces of men on watch at the
track, had communicated with him
since the opening, a fact which he
said indicated to his mind that there
was no bookmaking or gambling of
any sort under way. Canon William
Sheafe Chase and the Rev. Q. r. Mil
Ter. who are strong advocates of the
restriction of gambling, had detec-
tives at the track on the opening day,
and told the Governor that they were
unable to discover any violations.
The Governor said he had been in
formed that the racing association
was cooperating with the district at
torney and the sheriff to prevent
gambling, a precaution which he said
should scare off bookers and pros
pective bettors.
II the Governor should get concrete
evidence of gambling. he declared he
would close the track Immediately.
He intimated. however, that he had
no desire to interfere with the races
IL the law is lived up to to the letter.
