FORMULA FOR SPRAY MIXTURE
Lead Arsenate is Effective for All
Biting Insects.

For garden and orchard spray
for biting insects, arsenate of lead is
as effective as paris green and is less
likely to hurt the feelings. 1t also
sticks well to the leaves. Lead ar
senate may be prepared at home and
is less expensive than the CONNER
cial brands. However, sometimes the
home mixture is not altogether sue
|cessful, due generally to impure ma
terials purchased. BY carefully fol-
lowing this formula of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station, arsenate of lead
may be prepared satisfactorily:
Lead arsetate (sugar of lead), 80
ounces.
Sodium arsetate, IL ounces.
Water or spray mixture, SO gal
Ions.
Dissolve each separately in a
small quantity of water, a gallon
apiece will do, mix and dilute to so
gallons with water. If used in water
alone the precipitate is more finely
divided if the lead acetate solution
is first diluted in 25 gallons or
more, then the solution of sodium ar
senate added and the whole diluted
to 60 gallons.
The sodium arsenate dissolves in
water quite readily.
Lead acetate dissolves rather slow
ly, SO it is we'll to dissolve it several
hours before it is to be used. It dis
solves more readily if little acetic
acid is added to the water.

Passing the Hat.

Passing the hat, passing the hat!
Someone forever gets busy at that!
Oh, it seems useless to struggle and
strain, all our endeavor is hopeless
and vain; when we have gathered a
small, slender roll, hoping to pur-
chase some flour and some spuds,
hoping to pay for the ready-made
buds, hoping to purchase bone for
the cat, someone comes cheerfully
passing the hat. Passing the hat
that the buns may be warm, passing
the hat for some noble reform, pass
ing the hat to remodel the Jail, pass
Inf the hat for the fellows who fail,
passing the bonnet for this or for
that, someone forever is passing the
hat! Dig up your bundle and hand
out your roll-if you don't give you
are lacking soul! What If the feet
of your children are bare? What if
your wife has no corset to wear?
What if your granny is weeping for
shoes? What IL the grocer's demand
ing his dues? Someone will laugh at
such logic at that, someone who's
merrily passing the hat. Passing the
hat for, the pink lemonade, passing
the hat to extinguish the rat some
one forever is passing the hat!

The Blossoning Time.

The time of blossoming is here.
It's hcralds are everywhere. You can
not hear them but the fragrance of
their presence comes to you from all
the outdoor world, and the domain
Iof bloom which they open to you is
crowding that world. You cannot
walk abroad and not come into it.
Its gates swing open at every step
you take; on every hand the magic
creations of that marvellous spring
time realm arises before your de-
lighted vision.
Pink of the peach, white of the
pear, delicate cream of the plum,
glowing hues of the apple-hOw the
oceans of billowy petals spread out
before you. Their spray is afloat on
every breeze which stirs the becloud-
led branches of shrubs and bush and
tree; about the earth there are dam
ty carpetings of all the blush and
all the snowiness which fills the air.
And whether you glimpse the charm
of the scene as you look above your
head, or feel the vagrant blossoms as
they shower upon you when you pass
beneath their clustered masses, or
tread upon them in your j0urneyings
through their world, your every
sense tells you with glad acclaim
that the blossoming time is here.
There is no season Of the year
that is like any other. And most un-
like all the rest is the April blossom
ling of the world of buds It's frag-
rance is all it's own, and so is it's
color, it's floating clouds Of petals, it's
whisperings of promised fulfillment
of the joyous anticipations with
which the blossoming time overflows
the heart.
We often wish it could be just
blossom time the whole year round
Yet, of courses that is not what the
blossom is for-merely to please Its
mission is to delight in other ways
than by its beauties. 1t is fore
runner of more substantial if not Of
dearer gifts. But while it is before
lus-while every tree is gowned as a
bride for her marriage and the earth
seems enraptured by the charm of
the occasion-we shall not think of
anything save the beauty of the
hour. It is blossoming time, and if
the world shall move no farther, who
need care?

WEATHER STILL KEEPS TROOPS
 FROM ACTIVITY
Unless Roumania and Italy Enter War Little Likeli- hood of Change in Situa- tion Until Weather Con ditions Improve.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DisPArcHI

LONDON Jan. 1l.-Only a change in the weather or the entrance of Roumania and Italy or both into the war, is likely to accomplish any marked change for some time. The weather is uncertain, but the belief is growing among the allies that Roumania, with her well trained army of 100000 men, will enter the conflict soon. This would link the Roumanian army with the Russian extreme left now forcing it's way through Bukowina into Hungary Along with the Servians and Monte negrins this would form a line men acing Austria Hungary from Russia to the Adriatic
 Meanwhile the field armies in the east and west are virtually dead locked. In Alsace the French con tinue attempts to force nearer the Rhine, but there is snow in the Nos- ges and neither side claims progress.
 Desperate fighting continues in the Icenter northeast of Soissons, around Ferthes and Beausejour The bonn DeIuHleHl bl SDlSSoDS threatens 10 make it another Rheims. From Beausejour the allies are trying to reach the railway cutting an impor- tant line of German communication. The Germans and allies disagree on the outcome of this fighting.
 Neither East Prussia or Poland furnishes change in the general situation. The Russians are apDar- entiy stationary in the expected in vasion of Hungary through Buko- wina. It is conceded the Russians hold practically the whole of Buko- wina, and it is reported that thous- ands of refugees are crossing the Rumanian border Interest centers in the developments of the occupation of BukOwina as it is believed to be influencing the Rumanian situation There is little information about the Turkish army in the Caucasus which Russia battered. Italy is reported sending troops to her islands in the Aegean Sea off Asia Minor preparine for eventualities. Turkey is reported to have abandoned the proposed camel invasion of Egypt fearing dis embarkation of troops in Syria threatening her line of communica- ton.

LONDON. Jan. 1.-The civil army we have to feed is greater than the British and French armies combined. Yet We can scrape through on about S6,250000 worth of food each month" This was declared by Emil Tranquil, a prominent B elgian banker, on brief visit to London in connection with the relief work of Belgium.
 Tn all the history of the world" he said, ''here is no parallel for a com munity of seven million souls being faced with starvation and denied by the beiligerents of every possible means of self preservation We, indeed, are the Ishmael of Europe.
 You in England say you cannot trade with us because to do so would be to trade with the enemy You say you cannot open the port of Antwerp, our door of relief, because it would be an advantage to the Germans. You say you cannot even send us money because it might reach your enemy.
 Thus the Germans. French, and British have ring of steel around our territory through which none may en- ter and none may depart without per- mission from the belligerents.
 Franqui said Belgium is at the mer- cy of the world and if mercy is not ac- corded. Belgium cannot longer exist.
 While the belligerents are arguing over Belgium, Franqui added, seven million persons are confronted with

 ing situation affords fine reflection of the prosperity. of the state. Many new and promising industries have been instituted.
 The labor problem is dealt with in several sections and the message rec ommerds the creation of a state em- ployment bureau and the creation of q public works fund.
 Though the eighty per cent law is not mentioned by name. the governor al ludes, with d touch of bitterness to the decision by a United States tribunal declaring it to be invalid. He criticis- Hes- the large employers of labor for having created the condition in this state that drove the voters to endeavor to protect themselves against alien la . bOr.
 Regarding the public lands though no definite land policy is outlined in the message the governor issues warn ing against the dissipation of the lands and recommends the retention of the land commission until the selections under the enabling act have been made. The governor speaks of the excellent work done by the state historian under an insufficient appropriation.
 The message argues against any pro- posal to abolish the system of direct Legislation because certain defects nave been disclosed What is needed is to arouse the greater interest of the peo- pie in public questions and that in the opinion of the governor may best be done by a system of publicity, not through newspapers controlled by self ish interests but through the agency of the government. A legislative refer ence bureau is recommended. ReVerting to the subject of nwspap- CTS, the message advises publicity of facts relating to their ownership in order that the people may be apprised of the interests behind them.
