OF murder. has died. as has spo-Pei
wife.
A pardon from President Wilson re-
leased Spo-Pe from his long imprison-
ment. Mrs. George Hamilton, a little
Blackfoot squaw, was principally in
strumental in bringing to the know
ledge Of those in authority the story Of
his wrongs and in arousing from its
long lethargy the dormant memory of
the days that used to be before the
white men had taken almost all Of the
Indians hunting ground in the west.
While the government may not give
Spo-Pe al allotment Of land, 1t has
promised to take care Of him as long as
he lives This much, it is believed is
due Spo-Pe as some slight measures Of
PREPARATION for the wrong that was done
him and for the Imprisonment for 3S
years for a crime that was in reality
not a crime, but the execution of a
vow-a pious vow, as the Blackfoots
locke upon ito avenge the Staying
OF his people and to give rest to their
restless souls.

PAID AGENTS AFTER
RUSSIAN EM|GRANTS
Steamship Company, It Is Said,
Has 1000 Emissaries
in Field.

st. Petersburg. Special: A political
campaign has been started mere against
the Russo-American Steamship COM
pany and the minister of the interior
Is giving 1t some support.
The Nationalist Slav organization
and the societies whose main purpose
ID anti-Jewish have issued from their
bureau in Wilma a manifesto against
the emigration traffic. It says that the
Russo-American company has 1000
agents spread over the six northwest
ern provinces of Russia. Their activ-
ity is specially damaging in depicting
n countryside Of young people before
the harvest. Agents get from 80 to
40 rubles for each emigrant, and they
send out from 100000 to 200, 900 a year.
When the conscript lists for the army
are prepared from the birth registers
OF 20 years earlier, 1t is found that
about 25 pc cent of those who should
be recruits have gone abroad without
passports. And the young Russian
emigrants, peasants Of the healthiest
stock, usually draw after them their
brothers, sisters and families.
Hitherto the government campaign
against h company's agents has been
confined to banishing them into the
interior of Russia, with the result that
their work has been helped and ex-
tended. A case is mentioned Of q Jew
ish agent who a. been banished nto
the interior for three years for "
ing for young emigrants. He says that
IN the region to which he was sent he
secured more emtgrants in three years
than he had previously done in six
years in his native district.
Meanwhile the government has
drafted a new law on Russian citizen
ship. Some Of its provisions are of
great Importance to Russians who
have migrated. Hitherto, the law has
BEEN. Once a Russian, always 6 Rus
sian" This created dual nationality.
A Russian subject by birth might
~naturalize as an American, but if he
returned to Russia he was regarded
as a native Russian subject again.
The new law defines as a criminal and
an outlaw any Russian subject who
has taken out foreign naturalization
papers without legally divesting him
self OF his Russian status. Such Grim
inals" include persons who up to "a
years of age have not done their mill
tary service AND deserters or reservists
who ignore the sent them at
wartime. Married women cannot lay
down their Russian citizenship separ-
ately from their husbands, nor any
persons against whom any proceedings
or lawful liabilities are pending in Rus
STA. Persons who have lawfully ac-
CURED a new citizenship must com
municate the fact to the authorities of
their native district in Russia. Per-
sons who have wrongfully acquired
foreign citizenship are forever exiled
from Russia and will be criminally
prosecuted should they return.

PRIZE FOOD.
PaIatabIe, Economical, Nourlshing.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in a few words, and that
from personal experience. She
writes:
After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, l cannot say enough in
its favor. We have used this food al
most continually for seven years.
I'VE sometimes tried other adver-
tised- breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most
palatable, economical and nourishing
Of all.

had no interest in life.
AFTER using GrapeNuts q short
time I began to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared and now I
am q well woman. My two children
have been almost raised on Grape
Nuts. which they eat three times q
day.
They are pictures OF health and
have never had the least symptom Of
stomach trouble, ven through the
most severe siege Of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills. and has been, therefore. . most
economical food for u.s."

FULL BABYLOMIAN FLOOD
YARN TO BE MADE KNOWN

London. Special: DR.. Stephen Lang
don, professor of Assyriology at oxford
university, and the only American
holding a PROFESSIONAL chair at the
senior university, said today:
Il would esteem it a favor If you
would cable to the effect that scholars
and archaeologists had better wait for
the full account of my discovery of the
new Babylonian version Of the flood
and the fall of man translated by me
from a tablet found in the museum Of
the University of Pennsylvania. I ask
this because the reports so far printed
in American newspapers are inaccurate
and misleading.
Il am preparing a full and correct
account, and his should be read and
digested before anv Judgment is pro-
nounced on the work, as the clippings
which have reached me from the Uni
ted States are misleading and dis
tressing."
Professor Langdon promises that his
manuscript will be ready in a few days.

ROSE INSECTS.

Rose bushes are becoming highly
infested with plant lice, and should be
sprayed at once with a strong solution
of soap and tobacco.
The Rose-chafer will be recognized
as the yellowish-brown beetle about
one-half inch in length. This insect
frequents the blooms and causes them
to fall quickly. When feasible this in
sect should be picked or shaken of
into pan or sieve and destroyed. A
strong solution of Aresenate Of Lead
will also be found helpful; pounds to
SO gallons of water.
A rose disease known as Coniothy
rum is getting scattered in some OF
the Southern States. This disease may
be recognized by a darkish brown
spot occurring on the steem, increas.
ing in area, until 1t completely girdles
and kills all of the stem above the af.
fected area. Two reports of this dis.
ease have come to the writer during
the past month. 1t is hoped that per-
sons noticing this disease will send
specimens, that a knowledge of the
distribution of this rose disease may
be known. The best advice that can
be given regarding the treatment is
that of pruning out the affected canes
as far as it may be possible, and spray.
ing the remainder of the bushes with
some standard fungicide such as Dor.
deaux Mixture or lime-sulphur solution
properly diluted. The best time to take
action against this disease is while the
roses are dormant, as much stronger
spraying mixture may be used at that
time.-G. M. Bentley, Tennessee Elk
pertinent Station.

SEED SELECTION ON THE FARM

Nothing has been proved more con.
elusively within recent years than the
Importance of seed selection. This
applies to every crop grown on the
farm.
There is general impression that
there is something mysterious about
plant breeding, and that practical
farmer can not accomplish anything
in this direction. No greater mistake
could be made. While we hear much
about selection for disease-resistance
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., ETC., after all, selec-
ton for crop Improvement in any d.
rection means simply, select seed from
the best individuals under all condi.
tions.
When a crop has suffered from any
adverse condition, such as drought,
for example, selectinn is more i'm
portant than at any other time. A
field of corn, oats, wheat, or cotton
should under such conditions be care
fully searched over, and seed saved
from the finest individual plants. This
seed planted the next few years to
itself will soon produce enough to
seed large farm.
Suppose, for example, a tomato
grower in Gibson county had been in
the habit OF annually selecting his own
tomato seed, choosing not only good
fruit, but also good plants. He would
almost certainly have had a blight
resistant stock Of seed, provided this
disease had been prevalent on his
land, just as Professor Essary secured
the. blight-resistant tomato, discussed
in Bulletin IS of the Tennessee Expert
ment Station.
In like manner, suppose Tennessee
farmer had twenty-five years ago be-
gun selecting seed from few fine
clover plants on his farm. When the
deadly "clover-sick" disease invaded
his fields he would have kept up this
practice of saving seed from the best,
and consequently would have had an
immune clover without having ever
known what his neighbors' trouble

In these days of manifold dangers to
field, garden and orchard crops, a
spraying outfit is as important a part
of farm equipment as a pillow, a seeder,
or cultivator. For what is the logic
OF soil preparation, seeding and cult
waiting the crop, if insects and diseases
are permitted to destroy it? The spray
pump is as useless. standing in the
barn, as any other unused implement,
and it is as much mistake to use it
at the wrong time as it would be to
pillow a clay field Immediately after a
heavy rain-no good and much harm
would result.
A good spray pump has it's sub
merged parts made of brass or bronze,
sets low on it's support, and can de-
velop force enough to deliver the spray
under high pressure. For ordinary
farm use pump mounted in stout
barrel viii serve all needs, but if there
is an orchard Of FIVE acres or more

chards spraying pumps of the Samson
type, costing about $40, are much more
effective than the barrel mounts, since
they develop much more pressure.
Every year sees improvement in
spraying machinery, and number Of
firms are putting high-class outfits on
the market, so that it would be unfair
to recommend particular make. The
Intending purchaser should study the
catalogues of different firms, and if
there are spray pumps in the neigh
borhopd he should get the opinions of
their owners before purchasing.
The use of the spray pump has only

There is widespread confusion in
