ALL Eaters of Insects.

1t may be said that all civilized
races are insect eaters in greater or
less degree. There is a certain insect,
the corn weevil, which eats our grain
and sometimes does thousands of dol
lars worth Of damage to single crop.
No matter how clean the wheat is,
there are almost sure to be a few of
these insects hidden away among the
kernels, and these are ground up into
flour and become a part of our bread
and cake.

How Shaving Orloinated.

The comparative advantages and
propriety of shaving the face and of
permitting t. e beard to grow are not
easy to det~ rhine. On the side of
non-shaving it has been argued that
nature must have bestowed boards on
men for the purpose of being worn,
and that. as Tertullian affirmed, it was
"blasphemy against the face to reject
1t altogether"

THE WEATHER

The oldest inhabitant is sure
there was never such a winter
as this, but he forgets, observes
valued friend. "In November
1899 snow fell on the 18th and
28th. None at all fell in Dec
ember and slight sleet on Jan
uary 22nd, and just a trace on
February 18th. There was a
slight snow fall on March 5th,
and this was all for the entire
winter. The weather during
January and February was not ex
ceedingly warm that all the fruit
trees bloomed, and peaches at
tanned in size of peas. Nearly
the entire crop of slaughtered
hogs was lost. There was excel
lent grazing the last of Febru-
airy and flowers in abundance.
While we were enjoying such
charming weather on this side
of the Atlantic it was so exceed
ingly cold on the other that the
wolves and wild hogs came from
the mountains and forests and
infested the villages and prowl-
ed around the habitations of
men, just as they are now. When
the weather moderated there it
intensified here, and was nice
ice was gathered on the 9TH, 9Th
and 9th of March, but the rain
on the nth closed the seaon.
1t is comforting to reflect that
when the wild animals on the
other side, which are now
abroad, return to their accus-
toned haunts, the country peo-
pie here may yet enjoy unlimited

vest, The winter of IS72-I873'
WAS like the present in every
way, and the beauty of the ice,
its thickness and long con thu
ance through the last days of
February and early part of
March are suggestive of what
might again happen"

 WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-A German viewpoint of the struggle in Europe was given today by the German charge q affaires, Daniel von Heimbausen, who returned from Newport to assume personal direction of the German em- bassv in the absence in Europe of Am bassaIor Count yOn Bernstorft
 Von Heimbausen held a lengthy con- ference with Secretary Bryan on the general situation and also saw Coun- sellor Lansing of the state department concerning several acute phases relat- ing to the detention of Americans in Germany, the sailing of German reserv ists and operations of German mer- chant ships.
 Concerning the political aspect of the conflict, the German charge maintains that reports from London seem to give the erroneous impression that Germany precipitated the war wholly because of German troops advancing into Belgium, whereas he declares the British foreign office previously laid down terms to Germany which would have had the effect of restraining the German navy from operating against Russia in the Baltic-the most natural waterway leading to Russian possessions-or from operating against France along the north coast of that country, which is the most natural point for German naval forces to operate.
 Thus before the Belgian issue arose. Von Heimbausen contends, England sought to compel Germany to hold its navy inactive at the very points where it could be most effective and reduce i it to state of comparative inaction in uphoding such position as the Ger man nation might determine upon. As to Belgium. also, MT. Von Heim- bausen declares, the British govern ment sought to tie the hands of Ger many by a permanent agreement not to cross Belgian territory when at the same time Germany was aware that | French forces had already entered Bel gium and were operating there in de- l fiance of all neutrality: and also that Belgian coast points were ready to re- ceive British land and sea forces.
 This menace of humiliating the Ger man navy by reducing it to a condi- ton of passive inaction except ut points far removed from Its base, while the British and other fleets were free to operate at will; and the added re- straint of Germany in Belgium while France remained unrestrained. com pelled Germany to reject British con- !, ditions and adopt measures compatible with her national dignity and defense As to military operations around Lie i, ge, MT. Von Haimbausen points out

GERMANS PLEAD NECESSITY
 FOR ENTERING BELGIUM

that English and French reports seek
 to give them the aspect of a great en-
 gagement. whereas. he says they were
 merely the work of an advance guard,
 small in number, of the vast German forces now advancing, which made a bold but unsuccessful attempt to take a modern fortress. He considers the English reports of losses as exaggera ted and says that notwithstanding the Eng fish reports, the advance guard was
 not equipped with heavy siege guns capable of reducing a fortress. Mr Von Haimbausen looks upon this as merely a prelude to the advance of the highly organized main corps of the German army.
 The German charge explained to of ficials that the interruption of Ameri- can travel and exit from Germany was forced by the military necessity of taking all available trains for transpor-
 tation service and that this would be accomplished with the least possible
 inconvenience to individuals and would soon be over.

Federal Reseyve
 Board M COntYOl Beginning Monday
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcu1

 WASHINGTON, Aug. S-The federal reserve board, the supreme agency of the new currency system. will take of flee on Monday, more than seven months after the president signed the currency act
 After all delays incident to the pre- liminary work of preparing for the sys- tenn and difficulty in the senate over the confirmation of it's members, the board will probably be able to get down to business next week. All the mem bers of the board are now in Washing ton except F. A. Delano, and he will arrive Monday
 It became known today that Presi- dent Wilson will name Charles s. Ham lin governor of the board and Mir De lano, vice governor With the swear ing in of the members only one more step must be taken before the board takes up it's duty. Under the law the organization committee, composed of the secretary of the treasury, the secre- tary Of agriculture and the comptroller of the currency, must call the first for nal meeting of the board majority of the organization is now in Washington and this meeting will be called immediately after the board | is sworn in.
 Once in office the board will make ! the moves necessary to open the twelve reserve banks provided by law. AL though there are several details to be worked out. the principal matters that must precede the opening of the banks will not take much time. The system may be in operation in several cities al least, before the end of the month.

Capture Alkirck and Mucl- hausen, Inflicting Terrific Losses Upon the German Troops Who Flee Before Bavonet Charge

Berlin is celebrating the fall of Liege. The German emperor announced through an aide-de-camp the sue cess of the German arms in Belgium
 Considerably, a Paris dispatch says that three German army corps which have been attacking Liege remain in their positions, but that extensive move ments of troops have been observed which, it is pre- stunned, meant that the Ger mans intend an extensive attack on the Belgians be- fore the arrival of French reinforcements.
 A Brussels dispatch, prob ably of later date. reported that communication with Liege was cut off.
 Paris officially reports that the French troops have entered Muelhausen, Al |sace-Lorraine, an important German stronghold. and oc- cupied the village Altkirch, in Alsace, near the Swiss frontier.
 British troops have land- ed at Ostend, Calais and Dunkirk. It is officially announced that 10000 cross ed the channel and are now on their way to Namur. It is believed that other large bodies will be transported to Belgium at the earliest possible moment. In Lon don the recruiting offices are besieged with volun- ltecrs.

admit to American register foreign built ships less than five years old in order to facilitate American over seas traffic during the European war.
 After four days debate, the meas ure was about to be put on it's pas- sage, when Senator Salisbury, whose amendment was defeated in commit tee, reoffe-ed it and demanded a roll call. The senators would not second the request, whereupon Sen ator Pomerene, against the protesta- tions of his colleagues, made a point of no quorum. When a quorum could not be found, after prolonged delay. the senate adjourned until Tuesday.
 Increased Postal Savings
 The European conflict has given enormous impetus to the postal sav- ings system, according to reports to Postmaster General Burleson from postmasters in large commercial cen ters. Scores of foreign born wage earners are taking their savings to 'HO poStoliiStS, tlluS IeIedSIuS tiol nous sums for commercial purposes which would otherwise be hoarded.
 Market Confidence
 Many new accounts are being opened and the number of with drawals. already below the normal, has rapidly diminished. In New York city last week deposits quad rupled daily, while scores of other
