Riqhts of Others.

When the duties Of life are per
formed through love and not through
selishness, the rights Of others are
considered as sacred as our own rights
We are to love our neighbor not
more, not less, but las ourselves
With this conception of Christianit!
which is the true one, we will escape
the unworthiness Of claiming and de-
manding more than We are entitled
to; and If we get more, some one must
set less. There is surplus Of rights
from which one may draw and not in
fringe upon what is due another.
The great fault IS that nearly every
one is striving not to get his just dues.
but to get all that he can, irrespective
Of the value of the services rendered.
In this way social justice is defeated
and industrial equality destroyed.

ENEMY TO BEAUTIFUL TREES
Cottony Maple Scale in Past Ten
Years Has Wrought Serious Dam-
age to Many Valuable Trees.

The cottony maple scale IS an III
sect that for the past ten years nas
been a serious enemy to thousands OF
beautiful and valuable trees. rne
food plants of the scale are numerous
the most important being the SOIL
maple. linden, box elder, elm, oak'
willow, poplar, beech, hawthorn syca-
more, locust blackberry, osage-crange'
mulberry, grape, poison ivy, Virginia
c1eeper, rose, gooseberry, currant'
peach, plum, pear and apple.
In dealing with the insect it Is
necessary to consider in each case the
ACCESSIBILITY of artificial means OF con-
trolling it. In some localities the ma
tural enemies of this pest have done
very efficient work, making in many
cases applications of remedies mad
yisable. The Illinois experimental
station states that the scale appears IN
great numbers at intervals of eight or
ten years.

partment, can be treated during the

at rs per cent. or more in strength, or
whale oil soap at the rate Of one
pound to a gallon Of water, has been
reported to be very effective in killing
the scales hit by the spray.
in spraying during the period when
the trees are in foliage weaker So
luton must necessarily be used. 1t IS
not safe to use kerosene emulsion
stronger than a 10 to II per cent. Oil,
and even at this strength there might
be a slight injury to the foliage. 1t
has been demonstrated that a single
application of a 10 per cent. kerosene
emulsion applied at the proper time
in summer will destroy about two
thirds Of the recently Matched insects
and two applications, one applied at
the middle and the other at the end
of the Matching period will destroy
four-ffths of them.

Suspicious Interest.

The question must naturally al
in the mind of every ointel.i .ent .sal
mer, why have these Richmon Poop
suddenly become so greatly in e. este
in the farmer and his welfare? VIII 2
are they SO eager to protect the far
mer from increased taxation? Why ar
the liquor dealers and their allies pay
ing for the printing and postage on
tons OF literature to warn the farmers
of the state against increased taxa;
ton? Are the agents of the brewers
and distillers from other states more
interested in the welfare of the far
mers of Virginia than are the minis
tiers of the churches of Virginia? Or
than the multitude of good men and
women throughout the state, who IA
yor the abolition of the saloon? These
agents have no interest in the, farmers
of Virginia. They simply want to main.
tain the partnership of Virginia with
the saloon, so that the saloon mayed
tinue to carry on it's business in Wiz.
ginia, which business they. have de-
clared amounts to $20,O00,000 per an
mum. To accomplish this purpose they
will not hesitate to resort to any trick
or misrepresentation to get the far
mers to vote against statewide prohi
bition.
The statement that the taxes on
farm land will be doubled by the gen.
eral assembly of Virginia and other
property escape increased taxation, is
so absurd as to excite derisive laugh
ter. As Senator Keezell has clearly
pointed out, the representatives of the
farmers in the house of delegates out
number the city delegates in ratio
of nearly seven to one. How ridiculous
it is to declare that the representa-
tives of the farmers will allow the
taxes of their constituents to be dou-
bled and allow the city property to
escape!
Expert Testimony.
In public actresses and in communi-
cations to the press, certain prominent
Virginians, who. have made study OF
the subject of taxation, have. expressed
their opinion, and have declared that
taxes will not be increased in Virginia
II statewide prohibition is adopted. OF
course, the Local Self Government
League and it's allies, the advocates of
the saloon, have declared that no one
"can truthfully deny that your taxes
will be increased" if prohibition is

"HICAGO, Jan. 29.-The Packey

is positively on. 1t will be
staged in Madison Square Garden, in
New York, on the night of February
~. This information came to- day in
wire from Billy Gibson, match
maker of the Eastern Club. and sets
at rest all doubt as to whether these
two stars of the ring will exchange
punches. But Packey is receiving no

what percentage Gibson refuses to
say.
The matchmaker is of the belief
the match will draw something be

there.
Many fans look upon this match as
McFarland's first real tigh, He has
been accused many times of picking
soft" ones. Consequently these fans
figure that because Gibbons disposed
of Bob McAllister, light heavy
weight, he will have little trouble in
beSting Packey. How much of this is
based on prejudice remains to be
seen.
CLOSE students OF the game are o.
~ the opinion that Packey will
prove the master of the St Paul SEN
sation, and betting in Chicago bears
out this belief There is little wager
ing, however.
The critic figures that while Glib
bons is a real star, with plenty Of
everything that goes to make a cham
pion, Mcfarland is just a few shades
better In all departments of the game,
save possibly the punch, and that II t
