About the Moon.

Another hoary superstition or myth
is the effect of the moon on the wealth
cr, and on crops and other things. We
grew up in a neighborhood that was
saturated with this remnant Of Car
thagcnian moon worship. We were
told as % boy that a single nick cut
into tree at a certain time of the
moon i'm August, would dcadcn the
tree sure. The trouble with this was
that we never could find out just when
the moon sign was right

The Greed of Cutworms.

In the current issue Of Farm and
Firesidc, the national farm paper pub.
lished at Springfield, Ohio, a contrl-
butor writes a highly entertaining and
practically helpful article about cut
worms. The rayages Of cutworms are
fully described and definite. suggos-
tions as to how to get rid Of them are
reported. Some Of the remarkable
facts about cutworms are included in
the following extract taken from the
article:
Cutworms are true burglars.

CONTINUE EMERGENCY TAX,
HOUSE MAKES THIS DECISION AT
TER LIVELY FIGHT.
Democrats Pass Measure for Another
Year in Spite OF Opposition by Re-
publicans and PrOgressivcs.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The house
tonight by vote of 2O5 to 1S9 passed
the joint resolution extending the
emergency revenue tax until Decem-
ber 81, 1916. The senate is expected
to take like action in a day or two.
The law is expected by administra-
ton leaders to bring revenue into the
treasury at the rate of $S2,0OO,OOO a
year.
Republicans, voting solidly against
the resolution, were joined by the
five Progressives and five Democrats
Galloway, Texas: Hillyard and Keat-
ing, Colorado; Buchanan, Illinois, and
Wingo, Arkansas. Several proposed
amendments to shorten the period Of
extension were voted down.
Representative Kitchin of North
Carolina, in his first speech as ma
jOrity leader, told the house that
unless the law was extended the treas
ury would face a deficit of more than
$S1, 100000 at the end of the next
fiscal year.
I'VE Democrats know that no tax
is popular in time Of peace" he said,
"but we would be unworthy Of the
record Of the Democrats under this
administration and this congress if
we did not have the courage and
patriotism to arrange sufficient reve-
nues to meet the governments abso-
lutte necessities"
| Minority Leader Mann urged that
extension for a shorter period was
preferable and Former Speaker Can
non suggested an issue of Panama
bonds to meet the deficit.
1t is expected that a general pro.
gramme of revenue legislation which
may involve revision Of the emer.
gency tax law will be worked out by
Democratic leaders soon after the
holiday recess, which probably will
begin Saturday.

COMPROMISE LIKELY.

Suit Against American Sugar ReIin-
ing Company to Be Settled OH None
tary Basis.
New Orleans, Dec. 16.-Attorneys
for both sides indicated in federal
court here. today that the govern
ment's suit against the American Su-
gar Refining company, alleging fraud,
will be settled by compromise on q
monetary basis, with the fraud charge
eliminated.
The suit filed several years ago
charged the company defrauded the
government of $4,000 between 1899
and 1907, by lowering it's duty test
on sugar imported through New Or
leans. The government sought to COL
lect that amount with interest.
When the case was called today an
agreement signed by attorneys for
both sides requesting continuance
was presented. The continuance was
granted. The terms of the proposed
settlement were not disclosed.

After First Consideration Stands for

EveFyWhcrc-Has Plank Of Peace.

Charleston, Dec. 16.-William Jen-
figure in politics for 20 years, re-
spending to a toast at a banquet given
last night to the secretary Of the
navy told his hearers that it was his
intention to remain in politics for tho
next 20 years, and maybe % years.
What course will you pursue and
what measures will you advocate in
the future?" was the question put to
Mr.. Bryan tonight. I expect to deal
with such questions as may arise from
time to time" he replied.
What will you fight for during the
next several years?" was asked.
"I am for peace. I am for woman
suffrage and prohibition in the States
until they are ready for national ac-
tion,' replied the former secretary OF
State.
will you meet Mr.. Ford and his
peace party?" he was asked.
Il am expecting to go, but / am not
absolutely certain" replied the Com.
moner.
I'm addition to the economic ques-
tions which will be at issue next year
there is the peace question That is a
great question just now. 1t is really
the overshadowing question at this
time. 1t presents three phases, keep.
ing out Of this war ourselves, avoiding
policy that will provoke future wars
and to do what we can to end the war
After the peace question the mex
coming issue, and it is not far off, i:
the prohibition question. I do not ex.
pect 1t to be in the campaign mex,
year, but at the rate it is growing il
the States it is likely to be in nationa
politics by 1920.
| These are the three questions 70,
the near future, at least that is the
prospect at this time, but prediction.
are not certainties, because allowance
has to be made for unexpected thing:
which may hasten or retard comins
reforms"
