Their Lines Are Ended.

When one considers how many fami-
lies there are which trace their ances-
try in a direct line for many genera
tons it is rather a surprising fact that
there is not a single living descendant
in the male line of some Of the great
est men the world has ever produced.
The following is list of some Of the
illustrious men whose line never will
be represented on the earth again as
long as the world stands:
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Spencer, Mil
ton. Cowley. Butler, Dryden, Pope,
Cowper, Goldsmith, Byron, Moore, Sir
Philip Sidney, Sir Walter Raleigh,
Drake. Cromwell. Hampden. Monk, Pc
terborough. Nelson, Bolingbroke, Wal
pole, Chathamt Pitt. Fox. Burke, Wash
ington. Canning. Bacon, Locke, New
ton. Davy. Hume. Gibbon. Macaulay.
Hogarth. Sir Joshua Reynolds. Sir
Thomas Lawrence, David Garrick.
John Kemble and Edmund Kean.

Why Memoirs Arc Iama.

A professor at a Harvard tea was
asked why books of recollections were
always so tame.
Let me tell you story" he answer.
ed. "A great man once said to friend:
~ think TIL write my recollections.'
Very good said the friend. But
let me caution you not to recollect any
thing about celebrities that are living
"'Oh,' said the great man, living
celebrities are just the ones want to
write about They're the ones that
will make my book SELL
Every well.' said the other. But
remember my warming
Why. what's the danger, anyway 2
1.-The danger replied the other, is
that as soon as you begin to recollect
things about living celebrities they will
begin to recollect things about you.'"-

POTATO BEETLES


For several years past the Colo
rodo Potato Beetle has been known
70 occur in the Nez Perez country in
Idaho, the only locality in which it
was known west of the Rocky Noun
tains. During 1911 and 70 some
few were reported in different Sec
tions as the Palouse country. This
wear they are found quite generally
in most all parts of the Inland En-
nire In some gardens there are
thousands of them.
Most people know this potato
.sbugn but for those who do not
brief description is here given of the
various stages. The adult beetle is
about the size and shape of half
pea with the round side uppermost.
It is yellow in color with the wing
covers ornamented with ten longi-
tudinal black stripes. The larva or
immature stage is pale red slug"
soft, plump and Shiny, and very
disgusting in appearance. The eggs
are about as large as the head of
pin, are orange colored and are de-
posted in clusters on the underside
of the leaves.
The beetles live over winter in
adult stage, alternating deep under
ground. When the potatoes come
up in the spring the beetles emerge
from the ground and feed upon the
young leaves and vines. After a
few days they lay their eggs on the
underside of the leaves. The eggs
hatch in about week into tiny red
larvae which feed op the plants and
grow to maturity in about three
weeks. Just before they turn into
the striped bugs" the larvae go
into the ground, where they undergo
an intermediate stage and emerge
as mature striped beetles. These
beetles lay their eggs 600 to 5000
and second crop of larvae begins
to devour the potato vines. AID
stages of the potato beetle may be
found at any time.
In those states where the potato
beetle has gained a stronghold it is
necessary for the grower to spray
at least couple of times each sea-
son in order to save his crop. When
the beetle gets foothold it will be
necessary to do it here, thus incur
ring additional expense in raising
in this part of the country.
1t is better to kill one beetle now
than 500 this fall, or than over
million next spring. The time to
kill them is now, before they change
into adult beetles with wings to
carry themselves from field to field.
There are two equally effective
remedies against this pest. One
can spray the vines thoroughly with
either arsenate of lead, one pound
to IS gallons of water, or with Paris
green, l pound to Is gallons of
water. Both are quite effective and
if properly applied the beetles eat
ing of either should be dead inside
of "a hours.
Report of any occurrence of this
pest in your vicinity will be thank
fully received by M. A. Yothers,
department of Entomology, Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Pullman,
Wash.

THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER

 9 long. black -mud"e down the page of time.
 Nothing is lrurr than the say ing that "thr wicked love dark ness rather than the light. Anu thjs proverb has a bearing we u" not usually suspect.
 We .assuue it to have refer cnce to robbers, footpads, sneak thieves, mutinous seamrn ana home breakers. It does. 1t also refers, however. to any other group of people wh" work m the shade.
 You can set il down in your books that any business for when inc claim is made that it is bet fer to transact it under cover, that it is unwisc to have 1t ln- vestieated, and that the publlc has no right to mcddle in it, is crooked. Of course, l do not ln- clude the affairs of purely per sonal nature, but only such mat ters as have to do with the pub lie.
 The whole history of Sovern- ment, before the day of news papers, is record of tyranny and unjust privilege. So long as the common herd was ruled by a select few, who presumed to do better by the people than the people could do for themselves, the result invariably was luxury and fine feathers for the elect and starvation and rags for the many.
 Vested rights thrive in dark ness. IL is only in the light "1 publicity that Human Rights grow.
 The story of the Old World. of China. ancient Japan, Egypt. Greece and Rome is he story of secrecy and outrage.
 The story of Liberty and the New World is the story of the un- censored press.
 Whenever you find secret c"un- pering behind their hands, Sen- atOrs gum shueing around, and trust magnatrS mumbling in a back room. you may be sure that the public is about to be footed.
 The petty criminal is afraid of the policeman. The big criminal is afraid of the reporter.
 The man who cracks the belat- ed citizen over the head with a lead pipe fears the law. The man who sandbags the whole community and steals twenty mil ion dollars by manipulating a railway system or the packing industry does not fear the law. He hires the law. The thing he fears is the light, public opin- ion; and the man who works the spotlight is the newspaper report CT.
 There never was a bribe-tak- ing judge busted from the bench, a corrupt politician retired to private life, a governor or may or who sold out to corporations and was exposed, that did not hate newspaper reporters above rattleSnakeS.
 This is not a government by law law does not govern, it is merely the rear guard of govern- ment. It is a government by pub licity. It is newspapers and magazines, the publishing of facts, that govern.
 Absolute independence, truth telling and honesty are the foun- dation stones of successful pub lication of any kind.
 We could manage to rub along without the distinguished gentle men who run our finances, make our laws. and regulate our mOr- als, perhaps, but suppress the newspaper reporter and we should be tempted to say:
 "Then bear me from the harbor's
 mouth, wild wave:
 I'll seek another shOre.'
 Be kind, then, to the reporter. Take him in and tell him the truth. And if you feel you must lie, be careful to make mighty
