night, and several days will elapse
before Attorney General Gregory
reaches a decision.
Cases Essentially Different.
1t was pointed out today the Cash
Register case and that against direc-
tors of the New Haven are essentially
different, and that failure in one
need have no bearing upon the out
come of the other. Department otl-
Gals say the New Haven indictments
charge acts such as have come before
the supreme court in many instances
and have been held to be unlawful.
At the department it was declared
that the governments attitude to-
ward business combinations had been
misunderstood since the recent decis-
ion of the lower courts in the civil
antitrust suit against the United
States Steel corporation The depart
ment, it was said, was not proceed
ing against combinations because of
their size alono

another reason why their control is
neglected. Often no watch is kept
and danger is not recognized until the
swarm is at work in the field"
There are many erroneous ideas
on the distance grasshoppers travel IN
day, and Mr.. Ball, after long OBJ
servation, states that they will aver
age about three-quarters OF mile
under favorable conditions. A pecu-
liarity of their migrations is that they
do not turn aside, but always go
straight ahead, and their path
through oat fields is so we'll marked
that in some cases they have eaten
all the oats and even the roots Of the
plants.
Useless to Try to Destroy Them.
after they get their wings" Mr..
Ball says, there is very little use III
trying to destroy them. The same
amount of time and energy had better
be used in locating their eggs and
destroying them. Some adults nave
been caught on the breeding grounds
by using a balloon and fast horse
so as to move very quickly, but most
of the captured are males. The de-
struction of a few males in this way
is of very little value, as it does not
decrease the eggs laid for another
wear. nor decrease the damage a
swarm would do, as the males feed
very little after the breeding season
begins.
ITO drive grasshOppers out Of OF
chards, vineyards, berry patches and
like nIaces is often the easiest ana
quickest way to avert damage. Once
they are driven out onto other crops
they can be handled by ordinary
methods. Sometimes by little in
telligent driving to one side or the
other a swarm coming down from the
hills may be diverted sufficiently TO
pass by an orchard.
ITO drive them successfully one
must make use of every advantage
possible. Drive down hill or on a
level. with a gentle wind and only
during the heat of the day. with
conditions favorable they are easily
driven if not hurried too much. Ihe
best method of driving them IS 10
take a moderately long willow pole
with the leaves on for about two feet
at the top and starting at the top
of the field work back and forth at
right angles to the direction the hop
pers are to go, crowding them over
one row at a time. In this way they
will not be turned back"

The LAWS FATE
IS IN THE BALANCE
USEFULNESS OF SHERMAN ANTI

BY SUPREME COURT.
WILL BECOME A DEAD LETTER

If Suit Against International HaTves-

Must Depend on Clayton Act to

ty-five years of trust" prosecutions
and of federal court interpretations
of the Sherman antitrust law de-
partment of justice officials today
reached the conclusion that the ulti-
mate usefulness of that statute to
regulate business would be determin-
ed by the United States supreme
court probably within the next few
months.
Along series of victories for the
government, for the most part in the
enforcement of the civil side of the
act, has been followed in the last few
months by several defeats both in
minor courts and III the supreme
court. So far as the civil section of
the law is concerned the government
looks upon the suit to dissolve the
International Harvester Company as
of the utmost importance. This case
is now in the hands of the supreme
court. The principal case involving
the criminal end of the Sherman law
now before the courts is that against
officers and directors of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road.
Virtually a Dead Letter.
If the Harvester suit is finally lost,
it was admitted tonight, the Sherman
law virtually would become dead
letter, and the government in the flu
ture must depend on the Clayton an
THRUST act to curb unlawful practices
in business.
The refusal of the supreme court
yesterday to grant writ or certia-
rari for a review of the reversal OF
the conviction of officers of the Ma
tionaI Cash Register Company may
have some influence on the course to
be followed in the future in respect
to criminal actions. Officials profess
to have had little confidence that the
supreme court would grant this writ
because of the well known fact that
it is reluctant to deal with criminal
cases. 1t is believed, however, that
the effect of the decision upon public
opinion may be marked, and that ad-
ministrations in the future may hes
itate to bring criminal proceedings
of like character at public expense.
The department still has an Oppor-
tunity to push this case by comply
ing with the decree of the federal
circuit court and proceeding vita a
new trial on one of the counts against

CHRISTOPHER DRIVE
IS WESTERN FEAT
EASY TO BRUSH THE PESTS PAST
A FIELD OR FRUIT PATCH,
SAYS AN EXPERT,
BOUNTItS IN SOME STATES

Grasshoppers Drive Almost as Easily
as Sheep and Cattle. Utah Has
Destroyed 5000 Tons of Them, and
PAYS Bounty for Every Pound.
Driving grasshoppers, almost as
sheep or cattle are driven, is said to
be the best way to get them out OF a
field of growing corn or wheat, &C
cording to E. D. Ball of the expert
ment station at the Utah agricultural
college, who recently issued a bull
letin on 'How to Control the Grass
hoppers, quoted in the New YORK
Times.
PAYS Bounty for Them.
So destructive are the hoppers in
the dry districts of the Middle West
that since 1904 Utah has been pay
ing a bounty for every pound caught,
and in the years 1904, 1905 and 1906
bounties were paid for total OF . { l
tons. This gives an idea OF the eA-
tent of the pest, there being ABOUT
1000, 900 to the ton, making totaI
of about 4,568, 5000, 900. Since l9Oo
the destruction of hoppers has IN
creased. and it is roughly estimated
that nearly 5000 tons have been
destroyed.
Damage Unpreventable.
unfortunately the old idea persists
in MANY places that grasshopper
damage is unpreventable, and as a
result some farmers still alloW tnI'
nest to destroy the crops unchaIlens-
ed. when little foresight and pans
would entirely eliminate the loss
writes Mr.. Ball. THE fact that grass
boppers ordinarily appear in 1nJurl-
ous numbers only in irregular cycles
of a considerable number OF years Is

A Chicago newspaper correspond
ent in Washington is authority for
the statement that the friends of
President Wilson are busy putting
up fences and getting ready for the
fight next year. They are especially
active since Mr.. Bryan resigned.
1t is said that President Wilson

The correspondent claims that Soma
tor Smith will line up with Bryan
while National Committeeman How
ell will take the Wilson end Of it.
There may be foundation for the
story and there may not. 1t is not
likely that Bryan will be presiden-
tial candidate, though he will doubt

COST OF LIVING
IS STILL SOARING
STATISTICS SHOW THAT IT is
HIGHER IN UNITED STATES
THAN EVER BEFORE.
FEW NECESSITIES ARE LOWER

Figures Show Highest Point Reached
Was i'm September Last, When the
Price of All Food Was ~ Per
Cent Higher Than 1913 Average.
WASHINGTON.-The cost of liv-
ing is higher than ever before in the
United States, as far as government
statistics show, and is increasing ev-
cry year.
In 1914 the years cost of filling
the market basket of the average
workingman' family was $6.68 or 2
per cent higher than it was in 1907,
calculating on relative price figures
announced today by the federal bU-
reau of labor statistics as a result of
it's most recent investigation of retail
prices.
The figures represent prices of fiji
teen articles aggregating approx
mately two-thirds of the expenditure
for food by the average working
mans family. The cost of these ar
ticies in 1918 was $333.90, making
the 1914 cost $34O.58, while in 1907
it was $280.15. Calculating these
amounts DIS LWO~UAlA1 AO VI bAO WI IA
ingman's family food expenditures
the total spent for food in these
years would be: 1918, $500.S5; in
1914, $51O.87, and in 1907, $4,000.
The bureaus investigation covered
forty-four important industrial cit
les representing thirty-three states.
It showed retail food prices in the
period 1907 to 1914 reached the
| highest point in 1914, while the low
est price was in 1907.
This, however, is not true of each
article. Flour, for instance, was 5.3
per cent higher in 1909 than in 1914
Sugar which reached remarkably
high point, 1853 per cent in August,
1914, was 79 per cent lower for the
year 1914 than for the year 1911,
and was also lower for the year 1914
! than for the years 1910 and 1912.
| All meats were higher in 1914 than
| in any of the seven preceding years.
The figures show that the highest
point during 1914 was reached in
September, when the price of all
| food was IL per cent higher than the
average price for 1918, and the low
i est point was reached in April, when
the price was 8. 8 per cent lower than
the average price for 1918. Except
for lard and such articles as are
affected by seasonal changes the
highest price during the year was
either in August or September.

was offered to the readers of the
magazine for the best letter explain
ing the success of Hearst's Magazine
The letter that won the prize is print
ed and the principal features of the
letter are as follows: "The name it
self inspires confidence and interest"
"The public will follow a publication
to which the greatest publisher in
America gives his name" "The form
of the publication, making possible
the printing of large and beautiful
pictures, is another cause of success.
For this is the day OF, the picture and
of the eye" Can any one deny Hearst
the privilege of thinking that the pic
lures are his greatest asset? AS was
truly stated in The Day Book few
days ago Hearst's papers would be
read by very few people if it were not
for his cartoonists.
Farther on we read: "The name Of
Hearst is of itself a source of energy"
''Its success has been due to the fact
that the interest, the. pleasure, the
profit of the reader have been consid-
cred, and not the profit of the individ-
ual." Can you imagine Hearst, Gary
ct al. in a business and not consider
ing the profit?
The letter is finished with the fol-
lowing paragraph: "And if 1 should
win by any chance the prize which
you have offered let me prove the
sincerity of my admiration for
Hearst's Magazine and the other
Hearst achievements by asking you
to give the money to some worthy
charitable cause and not to me.

IL Iuc CuIuS WOI1u was SOfOIuCu
by one country there would be no
other to declare war against. We
would then, perhaps, pick a scrap
with some other planet. 1t is true
that there might be fights between
certain parts of the world, but no
war is as terrible as that of nation
against nation.
If one nation is to rule the world
we naturally want it to be the one
that will hand out the most justice.
Forget your nationality and deal with
facts.
The world contains several COM
panies of nations. France is,a COM
pany of nations with her some 20
possessions. Germany has about 10.
Portugal about a dozen. England is
the largest company of nations, hav-
ing some IS possessions. 1t is not
strange that by far the largest COM
pany of nations is also the one that
hands out the most justice, with the
possible exception of the U. S.?
If one nation ruled the entire world
l think our dream of an international
arbitration board would materiaHze.
We could then have a worlds con-
gress with representatives from all
over the world under one leader.
1 think the U. S. is only sample
of what the whole world will be some
day. A worlds congress without
leader would be about as useless
our national congress without a
president.
If the world would be better off
under one nation living as the broth
erhood of man in the fatherhood of
God, then hasten on such a day, and
let the nation that will deal out the
most justice be the winner.-Mrs. L.
