likely to do as much damage as the
ragworms Commissioner Hampton
of Oklahoma City concurs in the find
ing of this court and in a statement
to the press he called attention to the
righteousness OF the practice of in
discriminate trimming. Mr.. Hampton
is quoted as saying:
"When we threatened tagging ones
with arrest If they didn't clear their
trees Of bagworms, they got busy anc
went to pruning the trees so vigorous
ly that many will be killed
"'rhe park department has not rec
ommended the pruning of trees. We
have insisted that bagworms be re-
moved but we haven't said anything
about denorning the trees.
inexperienced men have set them
selves forth as experts, and having
been hired as such have dehorned
numberless trees so ruthlessly that
they will die. We still insist on the
destruction OF bagworms but also want
to advise against pruning the trees. :"

legends place the race on the island
OF Crete, which was its home for many
generations. 1t is interesting TO note
that Crete is another island on which
no reptile lives. 1t is the only inhab-
tied island that shares that peculiar
distinction with Erin. The island was
locked upon for that reason as the
races own when its chiefs led it there
in its migrations, for it seemed to be
a fulfillment of a cherished prophecy
concerning the tribe Legends tell us
that Fenius Farsa, Scythian king
from whose name came the word
'fenian'D had among others one son
named Niul, who was Of great learn

then pronounced the cherished
prophecy Of the races future freedom
from trouble by reptiles. Its home,
the prophet said, should some time b.
where serpents could not live. Later
the family grew and multiplied until
the jealousy Of rulers at the strength

One Of the most successful series Of
revival services ever held in this city
will come 10 a close this evening in
the First U. P. Church. Third and
Broome streets. Large audiences,
taxing the capacity of the church,
have assembled from evening TO
evening TO hear the evangelist, the
Rev. B. White. of Jersey City, whose
preaching has won a large number
of converts TO the churches of the
community. Mr.. White has preached
plain. practical gospel, dealing ter
rife blows TO sin and evil doing. His
appeals have been strong and ire
sistable. Many touching incidents
have marked the progress Of the work.
Children and their parents and grand
parents have been led to accept Christ
as their Saviour. A number of con-
verts we're won for Christ last night
after the evangelist had given a STIR
ring message on the Final Judg-
ment."
Great expectations are entertained
for this evenings meeting. which will
be the closing service All who have
accepted Christ during the meetings
are expected to be present for a few
parting words from the evangelist.

text, "Friends Of Christ" and said IN

"Friendship is only truly valued

fortunate man is the fellow who selects
his friends.
'eThe first step toward friendship is
an introduction, as man must meet man.
In order to cement friendship the ac-
ouaintance must be cultivated. We can
not compel friendship with Christ, as it
must be sought and cultivated.

out and brought his brother, Simon
Peter, TO Christ. The true ring of tn,
