to prevent the beetles laying their
eggs. Pure white lead and raw lin
seed oil, mixed rather thick, will not
injure the trees, and when applied to
young, smooth bark, will form a pro-
tective coat during the egg-laying sea
son. 1t is probable that this is more
effective method than wrapping the
trees with building paper, cotton bat
ting, cloth or other materials some
times used for this purpose. Before
painting, however. the earth should be
removed from the base of the tree for
a depth of from three to four inches.
The surface of the trunk thus exposed
should be first scraped and painted
and the earth then replaced. This is

Four Rabbits In Snake.

While fishing along the Susquehanna
river at West Milton, Pa, James Hafer
killed big rattlesnake. 1t had four
Jumps protruding from its stomach.
Curious to find out what it had inside,
he cut 1t open.
He says he found four fully devel-
oped young rabbits. The snake was
asleep at the time. and was apparent
ly digesting the meal. The snake and
rabbits we're on exhibition here and
attracted much attention.

Bark.
necessary, for the beetle occasionally
lays her eggs under instead of above
the ground.
AS the insect in its borer stage lives
and feeds under the bark, insecticide
sprays cannot be used successfully
against it. When the borer has
reached the adult stage it feeds more
or less on the exposed surface of
leaves and twigs and on the moisture
contained in the fresh castings thrown
out by borers still working in the
trees. Arsenate of lead sprayed on
trees on which they are feeding would
kill many of the adult beetles, but it is
doubtful if it would pay ordinarily to
spray for the purpose of killing this
insect alone, except in the case of a
badly infested orchard.

Great. or good. or kind or fair.
l will nc'er the more despair;
If she loves me- this believe:
] will die ere she shall grieve;
If she slight me, when WOO,
l can scorn, and let her go:
For If she be not for me.
What care / for whom she be?
When l hear of woman blushing
and cringing before the scowling face
of an irate husband who has just de-
livered a lecture to her upon economy,
home staying, breaking off with clubs,
and the like, wonder that she does
not rush headlong into another room
until the dove of peace helps them
make up. Why does not wife show
a little more spirit and gumption in
taking her own part when she Is
forced to listen to such sallies heaped
upon her Unexpectedly instead of
meekly wiping tear from her eyes
and assuring her lord and master that
she will not take part in this and
that very soon again?
When alone, grieved wife's pride
asserts itself. She knew that she had
been home body-too much of one;
delving into the housekeeping, over
working in the monotonous duties, I'M
til night gave her tired hands relief,
while she crept into her room at dusk.
She had commenced to notice that she
could be of some account to humanity,
when her active sisters called her upon
the phone, and urged her to give them
a helping hand in several places where
there were vacancies which badly
needed to be filled. Until she had mar
ried, her clear, pleasing voice had been
heard in concerts and musical gath
erings. Why not take a part that
was vacant and help the village choir
out? She was importuned and soon
was at her post there, regularly, de-
spite the stormy upbraidings of her
other half. She did not patronize the
milliner or dressmaker very often.
Instead, she made up her dainty eve
ming apparel herself, and contributed
the money she saved to worthy clubs
and charities. She could have over
looked all of his insinuations Of her
love of idle gadding had he not made
light of her woman companions at
these meetings. "They simply leave
all home work and go here and there
afternoons to show off their peacock
like finery Of attire; to ride past
those who footed it. in automobiles
which caused envy. In fact, they
seemed to have one desire and that
was to push to the front wherever
they congregated, and thus be the
first on the list of desired invita-
TONS"
AT that she summoned courage to
flash defiance at this misunderstand-
ing which he had shown. She ar
gued every point which made these
women's lives bright and their pur-
pose helpful, and life-saving in many
instances. And then she gained the
day, spelling her victory, as no doubt
some would say, by going up and
holding out her hands to him and ex-
claiming in wheedling tones: John.
l am right in my doings, and SO
can afford to forgive you" What
husband is there who would not have
thought her the dearest of wives, hum
BILE herself as she did A soft answer
is said to turn away wrath. Many
a woman has reclaimed her loved ones
and taken the better part-changed
his opinions to good, and he hardly
knew the reason why.

The Importance of the following
points should be kept in mind by all
persons who practice this method OF

1. Borers should be removed from

Matching.
2. Every borer in the orchard should

STATE FIRE INSPECTOR
VISITS SNYDER

Mr.. Ben r. Smith. Special Fire In
spectcr for the State Fire Insurance
Commission, was In Snyder last
week for the purpose Of locating and
reporting to the Commission at Aus
tin all conditions that can be cor
rected or removed which experience
has shown to be the most frequent
causes OF fire.
The stata Fire Insurance Com
mission is now. and has been for
some time. engaged In making a
rigid inspection OF practically every
city and town In the State and. af-
ter the inspection Of the city or town
is completed. Is taking up with its
city officials the question OF ellmin-
ating or correcting the hazardous
conditions found Many dangerous
fire hazards exist in almost every
city or town Of the state and, In
many Instances. they are due to lack
OF a proper conception Of the latent
dcnger that turks in such conditions.
For example. the cereless and i'm
proper handling OF volatile oils has
been. and Is now, almost daily the
source OF very destructive fires. Poor
electrical wiring, improper Install
ed gasoline lighting systems, gas en-
gines and gas heating devices; the
accumulation OF rubbish. paper trash
empty boxes. barrels, etc. each and
all create a hazard that may, at any
moment. break out in serious hra
or even a conflagratlon.
The Commission believes that. "
Il can have the enthusiastic support
and cooperation OF the various cities
and towns. manifested by the adop-
tIon and enforcement Of the proper
FIRE prevention ordinances and the
carrying out OF the instructions OF
the Commission, which Is also max
Ing a close Investigation Of every
suspicious fire brought to Its atten-
ton, that the annual fire waste In
