.o spend a dax taking snoail

to spend day taking mail to a hundred farmers, than for a hun dred farmers each to spend an hour or two a day driving to the post office. The critic may say to this, however. that the cost of the service should be paid by the farmer, since he gets the benefit of. this enormous time saving.
 Country and city must each think broadly of the interest of the other. There are certain drawbacks of lone Hness to life on the farms. This has led people to rush to the towns, and lhas made living costs higher for all town dwelIers. Unless the town people wish this tendency to continue they must go the limit to bring mod ern conveniences to the outlying rural sections.
 Rural delivery gives the farmer daily touch with the markets, so he can buy and sell inteIligently. It brings the newspaper promptly to his door, so that he does not feel isolat- ed. The little mail cart is theNthin thread that binds him to the knowing world. Any politician. who should favor cutting it out would be regarded as just as crazy today, as if he had suggested spending all this money in 1898.

BEAN GETS BOOM x IN LONDON WHEN
 MEAT COST JUMPS

London, June 1.-The recent rise of meat has caused one of London's 8 great ,dailies to plead the cause of the bean, a food little used in Eng land.
 Meat is the basis of the English mans fare. If of the well-to-do class he buys the best English meat, which is unsurpassed in tenderness and fla vor If unable to afford English meats, he gets the cold storage products of Australia, and the Ar genuine and the United States. Work ing classes live on stews made of scraps or of frozen rabbits from Aus traIia. Cabbage, sprouts or cauli- flower in varying degrees of fresh ness and potatoes constitute the rest of the staple fare of Britain. Lenttls are better known than beans and are beginning to have a, small vogue as a meat substitute But about the only bean is the French haricot. The small white mean, the staple food of the western ranches. the mining and laboring home of America, and also the large red bean have yet to be introduced in the British Isles. In no respect are the British more conservative than in the matter of food but the war has already worked many changes and the recent increase in meat prices amounting from s to 4 cents g. pound help along the cause of the bean. fzt

 . Addressing the annual meeting of the Asylums Workers Association, he said: "A1uch of the aftermath of war will find it's way into asylums. The enormous number of cranfa1 in- juries will undoubtedly lead to much mental impairment. The large num- Der of eases of shock to the nerves and overstrain will cause much neurasthenia; and other disorders.

BIRTHDAY OF RICHARD STRAUSS, GERMAN
 COMPOSER OF "sAhoRIE.' 3

Richard Strauss, world-fameus as the cQmp poser of tsSalone 2 ttElektra, ''2 tRosenkavalier'' and other operas and as conductor of the Royal Opera House in Berlin, was born in Munich. Bavaria, fifty-one years ago today This fact is attested by the marble plate on the door of the humble house at No. 2 A1th elm creek, which bears the legend, Richard Strauss was born in this house June H. 1864" He began his musical career ascondudtor at Meiningen thirty years ago, and in 1894 his first opera, 'Guntram, was produced at Weimar. His first attempt at dramatic compo- sition was not successful. His next important work t-F'euersnoth,'' fared somewhat better,- but it's popularity was brief, and it was soon forgotten. He won wide fame with his orchestral compositions, notably t'A1so Sprach Zarathustra'' 1Thus Spoke ZoroaSter) 'sFin He1denleben" GA Hero's Life). and ''Don Quixote.' These comp posi- Ii ons aroused much criticism, but also a great deal of praise, and establish ed Strauss as. among the foremost of Teuton composers. His opera .ttSalome,'' based on Oscar Wilde'si dramatic)poem of the same title, was received with great enthusiasm in Berln, Munich and other German musical centers but It's success was not so marked in Paris and Milan, and it was inam ediately withdrawn after it's production in New Y ork.
 Richard Strauss inherited his mus icaI talent from his parents. His father, Franz Strauss, was a horn player in the royal orchestra at Munich, and his mother, who belong ed to the Bavarian .~''beerage," and was the daughter of a wealthy Munich brewer, was also an accom- plished musician Richard received his first musical lessons from his mother, and studied orchestral work under his father. He was som ething of musical prodigy, as he began to compose at the age of six and at sixteen had composed songs which, were very popular. He was only sev- enteen when his first symphony was performed. A number of years ago he visited America, but the music critics on this side of the Atlantic were not very loud in his praise, and he failed to score a popular success as a conductor. Strauss is looked upon as the herald of a new musical school which has a revolutionary con- tempt for harmony and melody.

MANCHESTER SEEKING
 LIVERPOOL SHIPPING

Manchester, England, June H. Owing to pressure to secure discharg- ing facilities at Liverpool, several cot ton firms have been approached by owners of shipping arriving in Liver pool to divert their boats to Manches- ter. A trial was made last week with the Norman Monarch from New Or leans with 5,368 bales for Liverpool and ATS bales for Manchester, the steamer coming up the canal direct and discharging the whole of the cargo here. Liverpool authorities now fear this arrangement will be so advantageous that other shippers will follow suit and use Manchester
 more freely thereby reducing Liver pools income from dock dues, wharfage and ship stores.

fTHE COST OF RURAL
 MAIL DELIVERY

If any congressman in 1898 had moved that the sum of $47,377.70 be lappropriated for the purpose of car frying mail around to the houses of farmers, he would have been thought crazy. Yet that is what the service l cost in 1914. Not merely that but the department has just taken in ST. $50 more families.
 The enormous cost of this service causes criticism. The expense per 1 route is much more than was thought 1 in the beginning. The carriers and | 1heir friends have become a power full political interest They de- manded and secure liberal payment.
 The people along route are said largely to pay for it, by the stamps they buy and those that are bought to deliver mail matter to them. Pos tsibly. yet the same people might, be living elsewhere and buying the same istamps at a. regular post office were hheres no route
 As time saver the service is very enectiye. It is cheaper for one man

 STRIKES SINCE WAR

Berlin, Juno 11.-An official report on labor, conditions in Germany dur ing the year 1914 has just been is- sued. It shows that the total mum Der of strikes which occurred in 1914 after the outbreak of the war was "A, involving only HOO workpeople. They were all settled promptly and not a single strike was under way at the end of the year.
 In consequence of the practical cessation of strikes after the begin ming of the war, the total number of workmen involved in labor disputes during the year was 59,OOO as against an average of 226.O0O for the five years proceeding.

THE APRLE- TREE
 TEsNT-CATHERP1

TJnlTxes many insect pests, the most destructive insect at. work today is one that one cannot fail to see and whose harmful work can hardly es- cape foness notice.
 while their fayorite food. the wild cherry trees along thearoadsides, are dis4igured with their 1presence, the apple, peach and plum are attacked in large mlErnbers For some years previous to 1913 these insects have fbeen only occasionally numerous, having been& controlled mainly by a combinations of birds, parisites and sdiseases butt during the past few years these allied forces have been u1suc- cessfu1 in holding the insects in check Each year we have hoped tPat the balance of control would be brought back yet this year the caterpi1lars are as numerous as ever
 Matching from khot-ike clusters of eggs early this month, the caterpi liars have grown sbyf feeding on the foliage of many of ourt trees until some have reached their growth as worms and are leaving their tents to seek places to make their cocoons in sheltered pear as dull, reddish-brown moths, marked on bhe front wings by. two nearly parallel white lines.
 While in the cocoon and the moth stages there is little to be done to sue cessfully reduce their numbers, yet in
 
 down the tents in which the cater ! pillars stay during the nights and dark weather. This can be done by using the hands, either gloved or kun- gloved; according ito the wrath of the destroyer
 Another 4Inethod is to make rude brush witls a few pieces of wire on the end of a hong pole Inserting this into the tent by a twisting motion pull down the web and it's contents, then burn ora dip into oil
 In no case burn the tents on the trees as much461amage is usually done to the bark of the adjoining limb.
 If the trees have been sprayed with Arsenate of Lead, three pounds to fifty gallons of water, or Paris Green, one half pound to fifty gallons of wa ter, this wih control the destructive work of the insects. There is yet time for these caterpillars to 5do a, consider able amount of damage as the winds { carry them into neighboring peach orchards where they continue their work of destruction.
 Another winter many lof the knot like egg clusters having a tidy var nished appearance can be easily found and destroyed after the leaves have fallen.
