BILLY" Sunday at Huntington

Huntington, w. Va, April 20.
The intense heat in the Taber-
nacle Tuesday afternoon caused
the crowd to dwindle and held
down the attendance to a great
extent last night. However,
Billy Sunday and his co-workers
were there with their character
istic spirit and enthusiasm.
According to conservative es-
simates about half as many peo-
pie as heard Billy Sunday in the
three meetings Sunday were at
the tabernacle yesterday for the
afternoon and night meetings.
Mr.. Sunday showed no signs of
encouragement.
Last night he appeared for the
first time as the coatless Sunday
the people of Huntington have
heard so much about.
He bluffed awhile about it be-
ing comfortable in the tabernacle
but that it was right for anybody
that wanted to take off his coat,
but finally, just before he began
preaching his famous revival SER
mon he said he guessed maybe
he'd be more comfortable if he
took his own coat off.
Thus arrayed, in black trous-
ers and a spotless white shirt
and small bow tie, he looked
like his picture in the great city
papers, and be preached what
the ministers pronounced the
best sermon yet.
What Sunda" says the nation
and the world need is revival of
the old-fashioned religion. He
doesn't want an ethical revival"
or one with the enthusiasm iron
ed out Of it, but a revival based
on the ancient truths of the gos-
pei. He says he doesn't know
anything about the new evan
gelism his is the kind that is as
old as the gospel or as old as the
Mosaic law.

worthless fruits. If some Of
your apples colored up extra ear
ly last summer and then fell to
tire ground a few weeks later,
displaying brown worm-holes
penetrating the surface, it is
safe to assume that your orchard
is troubled with Cooling Moths.
From the foregoing it will be
seen that the codling moth spray
must be given at a very special
time, namely, just before the
blossom end of the apple closes
up or, as usually recommended,
just as the petals are falling
from the blossoms. The time
for spraying should be carefully
watched and a spray containing
two or three pounds of arsenate
OF lead to fifty gallons of water
must be thrown upon the tree
with some force so as to enter
the blossom end of the young
fruits.
If tn work is thoroughly done,
one spray may control the Cod
ling Moth, but usually it will be
found necessary to spray once or
even twice more at a later date.
For further information and
complete spraying directions,

The commendable efforts of

the universal approval of sports
men and nature lovers through
the State, but if game and fish in
West Virginia are to be preserv-

must have the strong co-opera-
ton of the people, for it is we'll
known that no law, however
commendable, can be enforced
unless backed by strong public
sentiment. 1t is to be hoped
that our streams will never be
reduced.to the condition of Eu-
,rop can waters where it would
take a regiment to guard a fish
until it could attain length of
six inches. Write your Congress-
man or Senator for applications
for fish to stock your native
