WHY GO TO CHURCH?

The hardest thing we have to
do is not to make living, but tc
live right-to resist temptation, dc
our work faithfully, bear our
troubles bravely and be unsel6sh
and loving.
Triumph or Tragedy According
as it succeeds or fails in this en-
deavor every human life ends in
triumph or tragedy. 1t is there
fore, serious thing to live, how
ever lightly we may try to, take

Without Religion man has new

With Religion his hopes are
boundless. The abandonment of
religion is soul suicide.
The Church exists to promote
real religion-to help men, women
and children to live right-to win

fruit trees such as apple, cherry,
plum and peach, but the largest
number of the flies" sought hiberna-
ton in the rough bark of pear trees.
During the spring, as result of
constantly increasing temperatures
and the daily effectiveness Of sun
light, a few hours of time proved
sufficient to induce great activity
among the adults. 1t was not uncom-
mon to see them fly or jump directly
after emergence from their winter
retreats.
If moderate temperatures prevailed
eggs were largely deposited within a
few days after the emergence of the
alternating adults in the spring.
Opposition continued for several
weeks, especially If the weather was
variable, but usually most of the eggs
were deposited before the last of
April. Some ova were laid on foliage,
but it appeared that these normally
are comparatively few in numbers
and result in little or no serious in
festation of the foliage.
The practice of clean culture and
the removal and destruction of the
rough bark left the flies with few
opportunities of escape from applica-
tons of contact mixtures. Miscible
oils, nicotine preparations and soapy
solutions were effective sprays against
the psylla adults. Homemade oil
emulsions were less satisfactory,
which may have been owing to vary
ing percentages of oil in the mixtures,
caused by imperfectly prepared emul-
sions.

TRENCHES ARE FILLED
WITH THE GERMAN DEAD
Paris Reports the Capture of Teuton
Defenses at Les Eparges-Ber-
lin Denies Claim.

London, April 12.-The French Of
fensive in the district between the
Meuse and the Moselle has developed
into one of the most desperate bat
ties of the war.
Official reports given out in Paris
ON Friday declare that the important
position of Les -Eparges, which domf-
mates the plain of Woevre, now is COM
pletely in the hands Of the allies.
Trenches here, it is reported, were
"choked with German dead"
In the forest of Montmare, it is
claimed, fifteen attacks of the Ger
mans in efforts to retake trenches cap
tured Thursday were repulsed. The
reports add that heaps Of German
bodies lay upon the ground afterward,
while in Champagne the Germans
were moved down in a similar often
sive movement.
The French claim also the capture
of 600 feet of ground in the forest of
ALLY.
The French are necessarily bonn
harding ST. Mihiel, the point Of the
wedge they are trying to force out,
and at the same time are attacking
the two sides of the wedge with in
fantry and artillery in an endeavor to
reach the roads which lead from ST..
Mihiel to Metz. If the progress al
ready is as great as the French claim
it to be, these roads should now be
almost within reach of the French
guns.
Berlin denies the claims of success
made by the allies, however, and Off
cial statements say that all French
attacks were repulsed in this region,
with tremendous loss to the French.
The Germans report that the Belgians
have been driven out of Drei Grach-
ten, on the User canal, with heavy
losses.

RASPBERRY IS MOST POPULAR
Belongs to Family Consisting Of
Many Hundred Species.

The raspberry is one of the best
known small fruits. In it's wild state
it has been used as food since the be-
ginning of history. This fruit be-
longs to the family of brambles con-
sisting of many hundred species.
The raspberries of commerce are
mostly included in three species di-
vided into two quite distinct types,
the reds and blacks. The European
red raspberry, Rubus Idaeus, is little
grown in this country. The fruit is
similar to the American red rasp-
berry in appearance, but, while of bet
ter quality, the plants are less hardy.
The early attempts at red raspberry
culture in this country were largely
confined to the development of this
species, but these have never succeed
ed here in the West because it is not
adapted to our climatic conditions The
American red raspberry, Rubus strigo-
sus, is of comparatively recent domes-
tication. In the wild state it is found
more or less over the northern and
eastern United States.

Steamer HarpaIyce Lost in the North
Sea-25 of Crew Missing.
Rotterdam, April 13.-The Brit
fish steamer Harpalyce, the first relief
boat of New York state and under
charter to the commission for relief
in Belgium, has either been torpedoed
or sunk by a mine in the North sea-
The Dutch steamer Elizabeth picked

erina picked up five men. The steam
err carried a crew of SO men, 26 of
whom, it is feared, have been drowned
1t is presumed that the Harpalyce's
cargo had been unloaded and that it
was on the return voyage. Before
leaving Rotterdam it was obliged to
give up it's safe conduct and it's Red
Cross symbols, so that it was subject
TO the same risks as any other ship

GERMANS LAST
SEA RAIDER SAFE
Kronprinz Wilhelm Reaches New
port News After 255 Days.
SlXTY-SX OF CREW ARE ILL
Sailors Near Starvation-Rice Diet
Causes Scourge Aboard-Chased
Three Times by British Cruisers
Fifteen Ships Sunk.

Newport News, Va, April 13.-Last
of Germany's sea raiders, the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm, scourge swept, her
crew facing starvation, her bunkers
empty, barred from New York harbor
by the perpetual guard of British
cruisers, sought sanctuary here on
Sunday
The auxiliary cruiser had been at
sea 225 days, during which time she
sank Is merchantmen. Twelve of
these were British, two French and
one Norwegian. Her last victims
were the British royal mail steam
ship lamar and the British steamer
Daleby.
Commander Thierfeldt on his ar
rival in port explained that his ship
was badly in nede of repairs. Her
bottom, he said, was foul and her
boilers needed overhauling. He stated
that he would request permission to
have the repairs made here.
The sinking of the Norwegian sail
ing ship Samantha, the only neutral
vessel sent down by the Kronprinz,
was almost a duplicate of the sink
ing of the American bark William P.
Frye by the Prinz Eitel, her sister
raider. Asked why he sank the Nor
wegian vessel, Commander Thierfeldt
said:
"She was carrying contraband of
war. She had a cargo of wheat which
believe was intended for the use
of the British army and navy"
The big liner, 613 feet in length and
of 14,700 tons displacement, steamed
majestically up Hampton Roads early
Sunday morning and was directed by
the United States submarine Gil to
an anchorage off the plant of the New
port News Shipbuilding and DrydOck
company.
Collector of Customs Norman r.
Hamilton Immediately boarded the
vessel and held an extended confer
ence with Commander Thierfeldt
Commander Thierfeldt gave brief
but graphic description of his voyage
to DR.. Hal McCafferty, United States
quarantine officer at Old Point.
1--WE were chased by British cruis-
ers three times" said Commander
Thierfeldt, "but were fortunate enough
to escape each time, although some
of the escapes were too close for COM
fort
Since leaving New York 255 days
ago we have touched at no port. For
weeks we were forced to eat rice to
live, and that is responsible for the
sc cases of illness aboard. The men
are suffering from beriberi.
after while, though, we captured
and sank French steamer and got
provisions and stores which lasted us
a long time. Among them were 49,
900 bags of coffee"

Washington, April 14.-The Riggs
National bank, the largest financial in
stitution in Washington, began legal
proceedings on Monday against Sec
rotary McAdoo and Comptroller Of
the Currency Williams to compel them
to desist from alleged efforts to ruin

Temporary and permanent injunc-
lions were asked from the District of

that Messrs. McAdoo and Williams
have prosecuted the bank for more
than a year past, eliminating March
80 with a refusal to pay $4,000 interest
on government bonds on deposit with
the United States to secure the banks
circulation.
The refusal is alleged to have re-

(By H. E. HODGKISS.)
Investigations of failures to control
the psylla in pear orchards by summer
spraying led the New York experiment
station to inquire into the suscepti-
bility of the insect to spraying mix
lures of other stages of it's life, spe-
cial attention being given to the hiber-
mating adults and to the eggs of this
brood The results of these careful
experiments are summarized as fol-
lows:
Studies of the seasonal history and
habits of the insect showed that the
pear psylla passes the winter as an
adult or "f1y," and that it deposits it's
eggs in the spring within a short
period after it's emergence from
alternating quarters. The psylla
