WHITE GRUBs CALL FOR ACTION
NOW

The presence Of so many June bee.
ties, the adult form of the white grubs,
throughout the state this year means
great numbers Of white grubs in the
fields next year. Farmers should begin
war on these grubs now, says William
Moore, division of entomology Of the
Minnesota College of Agriculture.
The first preventative measure is to
plow all the fields which have been in
grass, small grains, or sod this year,
and which the farmer intends to plant
next year. Fall-plowing will destroy
many of the grubs. After plowing,
hogs can be turned into this to pasture
and. will do much good in roofing out
the grubs and destroying them. -,
Next years planning should be plan
ned to avoid white grub injury. Fields
which have been in timothy or other
grasses, or in grain or sod, this year
should not be planted next year with
crops which are susceptible to the at
tacks of white grubs, such as pot toes,
corn, strawberries, etc. Clover, alfal-
ia, buckwheat, wheat, rye, oats, etc.,
are little injured by the white grubs
and can, therefore, be planted on land
likely to be infested. The farmer can
discover the infested fields when plow-
ing, as the white grubs will be turned
over in great numbers.

RICH PEOPLES IDEA OF THE
SIMPLE LIFE

In the November American Magazine
Stephen Leacock, the famous Canadian
humorist, writes story on the idle
rich in which he describes in part as
follows the idea Of the simple life that
is maintained by many wealthy peo-
pie:
'Life at Caste1 Casteggio, as the
Newberrys loved to explain, was con-
Quoted On the very simplest plan; ear
ly breakfast, country fashion, at nine
o'clock; after that nothing to eat till
luncheon, unless one cared to have lem
onade or bottled ale sent out with a
biscuit or a macaroon to the tennis
court. Luncheon itself was perfectly
plain midday meal, lasting till about
one-thirty, and cosisting simply Of cold
meats (say four kinds) and salads,
with perhaps a made dish of two and,
for anybody who cared for it, hot
steak or chop, or both. after that
one had coffee and cigarettes in the
shade Of the piazza and waited for af-
sternoon tea. This latter was served
at a wicker table in any part of the
grounds that the gardener was not at
that moment clipping, trimming, or
otherwise using. Afternoon tea being
over, one rested or walked on the lawn
till it was time to dress for dinner"

This condition has given rise

lis Method
OF Revenge.
BY RUTH GRAHAM

BY NOlH GRAHAM IN
Shortly before the breaking but of
the French revolution Ambrose Sim
clair, a young South Carolinian, went
to Germany, where he attended uni
versfty. He was rather inclined to
arms than to study and became pro-
ficient in the use Of the small sword
rather than writing theses. Having
finished the university course. he went
to Paris. His father forwarded him
letter of introductionS to Benjamin
Franklin, who was then representing
the new American republic at the
court Of Versailles, and young Sinclair
was admitted into thessociety Of the
court circle
Sinclair fell in love with Nine
Ocrelle de Torcellers. and his passion
was returned. Her brother, the Duke
of Lascelles, to get rid Of the Amer
fcan, conspired with the Count de-
Beauvflle. rejected suitor Of his sis
ter, and the two secured his arrest and
Imprisonment. f3-# y
Having got the young man into the
Bast1lle, it was not difficult to keep him
there, for they gave instructions to his
jailer not to permit him to communi-
cate with any one, especially the Amer
ican embassy. Sinclair remained there
for several years, gaining his freedos,.
only when the mob: opened the prison.
by battering down the gates Of the
Bastille.
One would suppose that he had had
enough Of the France of those times
and would 60 home at once. When he
had been shut up the country was
peaceful; now it was boiling pot.
Having been shut up by royalists, he
might now dread being guillotined by
rev0lutionists. But Sinclair had only
one .thought-to find the men who had
imprisoned him and be revenged, for
he had heard while in prison that
Jules de Lascelles had died. -s.sr..--'a
The French royalists were only be-
ginning to get out of France. Sinclair
learned that the Duke of Lascelles had
been arrested on charge Of being an
enemy to the revolution, but the Count
de Beauville was still free Sinclair
went to the leader of the revolution of
imprisoned on charge Of melting ill.,
surrection and asked that the Duke OF
Lascelles be liberated that Mr.. Sim
clair might seek revenge by fighting
him. The request was granted.
The next day a prison official an
nOunced to the duke that he might go
free. Lascelles, who had been expect
ing death by the guillotine, was over
joyed. But when at the prison gate
he recognized the man he had thrown
into prison several years before be.

perately, but he was no match for

The Last Corps Commanders.

General DANIEL 4. SIcKLEs derived
his fame as corps commander from
the field Of Gettysburg, and now that
he is gone there will be search Of the
War Department records to determine
how many Union corps commanders
survive. On the Confederate side none
comes to mind. 1t IL not true that
GRENvIILE NJ. DODGE Is the sole sur
vivor ON the Union side: there Is ut
least one other corps commander liv-
ing. PETER J. OsrERHAus, now in his
nlnety-fourth year and resident In Ger
many. where he was born.
Both DODGE and OsTERHAus served
in the Atlanta campaign as command
ers Of the sixteenth and Fifteenth
Corps respectively. Previous to SHER-
MANS march through Georgia the two
Generals. both Of them volunteer off,
GERS. distinguished themselves in the
West and Southwest. At Pea Ridge
In the Arkansas campaign Of 1850
DODGE had three horses shot under him.
and although severely wounded in the
side remained on the field until the
enemy was routed. In the vicksburg
campaign he protected the TANKS OF
GRANTS army by brilliantly raidng
the country round Corinth, and GRANT,
who thought highly Of DoDGr, put his
name at the head Of the list Of officers
deserving promotion.
PETER J. OsTERHAUs's record Is that
OF sterling and always capable com
mander who served steadily from the
beginning to the end Of the war. He
like DODGE. went through the Vicksbure
campaign with great credit. He rose
rapidly to high command. but did moi
have the versatility Of GRENviLLE NJ
Dodge. who WAS skilful engineer n
well as horn soldier.
