These are things that any one can

Acceptable service can be rendered
by those who have no great gifts or
talents, SO that all are without excuse
in falling to be missionaries to their
fellow-men.
The missionary spirit is never in lack
OF opportunities for service. The op-
portunities press upon every side. The
hungry and thirsty in body and soul
are everywhere-at home and abroad.
We may be missionaries in our every
day occupation. In all our walk and
conversation among men.
The thought in Susan Coolidge's g
words should be our constant prayer:
Forgive me. Lord. my selfish day;
Touch my sealed eyes and bid them

Secretary of States Rules -
on Election Laws.

Jefferson City, NO., June %. Two
State primary rulings announced by
Secretary of State Cornelius Roach
are Of Statewide interest. He
holds that the blanket ballot law
enacted by the last General Assembly
does not apply to the primary. He
holds also that what is known as ''the
travelling mems election law" applies
to both the State primary and the
general election.
THE blanket ballot law" said Sec
retary Roach lis amendatory of
Article 5 of the statutes, which
deals exclusively with the general ell
ection, and has no reference to the
primary, therefore the blanket ballot
must be used only in the general elec-
ton.
Section $500 Of Article 4, which.
covers the State primary law, specif-
ically provides that separate tickets
must be used for as many parties as
there are participating in the primary.
Therefore, only the ribbon BALLOT
can Be used for the primary" i

Keep Up the Chinch Bug Fight.
(By Leonard Haseman)

(By Leonard Haseman)
The chinch bugs are beginning tt
migrate fully ten days earlier thar
usual. In some places they are al
ready moving into corn fields ane
remedies must be applied at once
Where the pest has not yet begun te
migrate use the dust and chemical
barriers to hold them in the wheat
fields. The best dust barrier can be
made by blowing one or more parallel
bitches and dragging log through
these until every clod has been
ground into fine dust. II is the dust,
rather the ditch which keeps back the
bugs, so make sure that there is
plenty of fine dust. After the ditch
has been properly made it is neces-
sary that the log be dragged back and
forth in it every few minutes during
the warm part Of the day when the
bugs are most active, so as to keep
the dust stirred. A plowed strip
properly worked so as to maintain a
fine dust mulch will take the place of
the bitches. e..
In case of rain dust barrier cannot
be maintained and a supply Of creo-
sote, crude carbolic acid, heavy road
oil or coal tar should be on hand for
making a chemical barrier. Keep
the line fresh by adding more ma
terial to prevent them from breaking
across. Where the chemical is thin
like OIL apply it by bending the edge
of pail so as to form a narrow spout
or by driving nail through the side
Of the pail SO as to permit only fine
stream to escape as the line is being
formed. A narrow firm path should
first be made with a hoe, shovel or
drag along which the chemical is
poured. The line need not be more
than an inch wide if it is renewed
often enough. Post holes placed so
as to touch or cut into the line will
act as traps into which the bugs will
fall where they are easily killed with
coal oil.
-~'-' Where the pest has already gotten
into the corn, spray or use a torch to
kill the bugs. The spray recon.
mended is made as follows: Dissolve |
/ pound of laundry soap in gallon
of water by boiling, then add gal |
Ions Of coal oil to the hot soap water
and beat the two solutions up togeth- |
er. An old churn is excellent for the
purpose. Dilute to twenty or twenty
five gallons before using. This spray
kills when it touches the body of the
bug and it may be applied to the mi
grating swarms on the ground, as
well as on the corn. Paris green and
other arsenical poisons are Of no val
ne, since this bug takes its food in
the form Of sap through Z piercing
beak. Cobs saturated in coal oil and
lighted, are sometimes used to flash
mp and down infested plants for kill
ing the bugs. Waste no time attempt
ing to scatter diseased bugs, for the
Deeds or spores Of the disease are
