But, such is the brutalizing effect OF
war that we. a peaceful people far re-
moved from the scenes Of battle, can
look with hardly an emotion on the
deliberate sinking OF a passenger yes

gers and crew. Travellers along the

Of bodies have been found floating
on the waters Whereabouts, indicating
that the boats of the liner Falaba

we read the news of this and similar

and our minds and hearts become a
fertile field for the sowing Of the seeds
Of strife we must curb our thoughts

is critical; we don't forget that. This

the alarming. ever growing, unrest of
our public, the marked disposition TO
ignore probable results of war with

DIFFERENTIATION OF PESTS.

The government and the states pile
millions on millions in pursuit of the
boil weevil, gypsy and other moths,
San Jose and other scales, grasshop-
pers, beetles, caterpillars. flies, etc.
Yet the damage TO crops in this coun-
try from insect pests is placed at
100000 annually.
In the long run these enemies %
the food supply will be fought success
fully only by introducing parasites,
the natural foes of these insects. But
that requires years OF scientific inves-
tigation and experiment.
i For some reason or other pests seem
fer more numerous than they were
years ago. The killing off of birds
is probably the principal cause. Yet
this may not be the only reason. In
these days when so much money is
being spent by government agencies
for pest suppression, does the indi-
vidual farmer feel the responsibility
for cleaning them off his own land?
or does he sit back and let the state
and national agricultural departments
do the work for him?
The old time farmer fought pests
with a good deal OF diligence. Years
ago a plague of canker worms swept
over the apple growing parts Of the
country. Many people will recall the
care with which farmers in the sec
tons affected used 10 smear belts of
sticky substances around the base Of
their trees 10 trap worms. Thus many
orchards We're saved, and after a few
years the plague subsidized. Govern
ment agencies need all the help the
individual land owner can give in
these efforts.
In sections now afflicted with the
caterpillar and certain other insects,
oranges and other farmers organiza-
tons are doing a useful work in en-
listing the children 10 fight them.
Many varieties of pests can be kept
down by destroying their nests. The
individual farmer may say that the
individual bugs that he destroys are
not the same ones that attack his
crops. But IL he sets the example OF
fighting the insects wherever possible.
IL viii encourage his neighbors 10 take
hold and clean them out or at least
hold them down.

well that some other person should

turn his head in the same direction as
II did that OF his victim.
There was talk at the time that Jim
Jeffries met Johnson at Reno. that
should he again win the belt. he would
bury it in the bottom OF his trunk
and retire from the ring. That would
be a splendid thing for Willard to do,
but we have heard of no such repre-
sensations. It would perhaps be a
difficult thing for him to do. The
sporting world will not tolerate it If it
can help it. Willard wiz have to fight
to keep the championship the same as
his predecessors have done.
We want TO pay this compliment to
the Havana winner, however. It was
not a case of Willard against Johnson
alone. not Of white man against a
black, OF science against science, or
beef against beef. We have it that he
fitted himself for the occasion by strict
adherence TO the rules of temperance,
avoiding the use Of all stimulants and
artificial aids. What there was of him
was all Willard Johnson was a diff
ferent creature; a marked emblem of
dissipation. Wizards success is a
distinct challenge to those who
imagine that a resort to stimulants
and narcotics are essential To proper
physical development. It seems to be
in prize fighting. somewhat as it is in
war, that sobriety is an important fac
tor. and the sober man can generally
be relied upon for best results.
