Remedies For "Chiggers.p


With the picnic season at hand
the following, furnished by the Gov
eminent Agricultural Department
may come in handy:
IF bath in hot water, or in
water containing salt or strong soap,
is taken within a few hours after ex-
posture in shrubbery and weeds in
Tested with "chiggers," or "red
bugs" no i'll effects will be expert
enced. After a long exposure, how
ever, bath has practically no effect,
and direct remedies are necessary.
"After irritation has set in, and
small red spots appear, the app1ica-
ton Of moderately strong solution
of ammonia to the affected parts is
recommended by the Department OF
Agriculture's entomologists. A SUI
|persaturated solution of bicarbonate
of soda, or common cooking soda or
saleratus, will afford relief. Liberal
applications should be made until
the irritation subsidies. If the suf-
fering is severe, a dilute tincture OF
iodine or collodion should be lightly
applied"

The probe of the Public Service
Commission into the affairs of the
Perryville- Havre de Grace toll
bridge brought to light, what every
one had contended, that the toll
charges were higher than on any
similar bridge in the country, and
the concern was about the biggest
hold.up ever permitted to fleece
the travelling public. The pricely
profits were proven by the Com
mission to be "a per cent. last
year, and 100 per cent. (estimated)
for this year.
It was also shown by the Com
mission that the bridge company a
few months ago increased its CAPT
tai stock from $5O, 900 to $780, 900,
but the increased issue of stock
was given the stockholders with
out any charge, it being pure
water, issued for the purpose of
hiding the enormous earnings of
the company. Even with all this
water poured in to hide the earn.
ings, they amounted to l3 per cent.
Counsel for the bridge company
was 90 taken by surprise that the
commission had been able to make
such thorough exposure of the
holdup that they secured post
ponement of the case until some
scheme could be Matched up to put
q better looking face on the COM
pany's piIfering of the bridge
patrons.

Bowel Complaints I'm India.

In a lecture at one of the Des

from India told of going into the
interior of India, where he was
taken sick, that he had bottle OF

Diarrhoea Remedy with him and
believed that it saved his life. This
remedy is used successfully in India
both as preventive and cure for

/
position In some part OF the educa-
ti0nal system. Finally, under the
old law, there was no assurance that
the children of Maryland would &c
to school regularly.
When it became evident to as that
such was the framework of the
Maryland systm, it was almost un-
necessary to go into the schools in
order to find out what was hap
pening. Though there are, OF
course, vigorous, highly trained and
resourceful teachers in Maryland,
the existing conditions tended
toward inefficiency. It was there
fore, no surprise to us to find an
obsolete and overloaded course OF
study leading to an extremely un-
satisfactory educational outcome.
The new law endeavors to create
different underlying conditions. If
you will read report OF the Maryland
Survey Commission you will find
that it contains very few suggestions
as to what the schools should do, as
to how teachers should be trained,
as to how the teaching should be
supervised, as to what Che schools
should teach. There are in it few
suggestions on these topics. We
have indeed been criticised in some
quarters for not undertaking to
give more concrete help to the
teachers and supervisors of Mary
land. To my mind the criticism is
quite beside the point. Nothing
was to be gained by telling the pres
ent teaching and supervising staff in
Maryland what to do. Nothing
would have been more nearly useless
than to tell a competent staff what
to do. They. will know what. to do.
They will be familiar with the local
conditions and local needs. The
only service that we could render
the people of Maryland was to re-
formulate the rules so that persons
competent to act on these matters
SHOULD be put into positions of ex-
ecutive and supervisory RESPONSE
bility.

The two Chicago conventions
drove home anew the truth of the
old political adage that the success
full leader is the man who knows
which way the people are going
and hurries out in front. The re-
publican bosses ran the convention,
with Smoot, Crane, ct al, well in
the limelight, but they were forced
to name the man most in the mind
of the rank and file. Roosevelt
was able to get the progressive
nomination for himself, but moi
able to hand it over to the frigid
Mr.. Lodge.

Bull Moose Party Gives Up The
Ghost.

Ghost.
Theodore Roosevelt, in letter
read to the Progressive National
Committee 10 session at Chicago on
Monday, finally declined to accept
the Presidential nomination of the
party and strongly urged the
organization to support Charles e.
Hughes.
The Committee voted 20 indorse
Charles e. Hughes for president.
The vote was 30 to 6, with nine
declining to vote on the ground
that the committee was exceeding
its power in taking such action.
Previously the committee, by a
vote of 81 to Is, had declared
itself opposed to putting a third
ticket in the field. The committee
voted down motion to substitute
the name of Victor Murdoch, of
Kansas, to fill the vacancy caused
by the declination of Theodore
Roosevelt to head the Progressive
ticket.
Close attention was given to the
reading of the message from Colo
mel Roosevelt declining the nomi
nation and declaring his intention
to,support Hughes.

just how far behind the times
the Democratic party of Maryland
is, with it's present SO called lead
ers, is shown by the fact that the
Maryland delegation was the
ONLY ONE in the st. Louis Nat

IF this doesn't show that Maryland

Minnesota No. 90 is desirable fol
grain, but it is too small for fodder.

feet 2 inches apart. Owing to the

PRUNE YOUR APPLE TREEs IN
s@ $ SPRING Il 5tss 81 &
'lAVg
IN

EARLY spring is the best TIM TO
prune apple trees. More. and more at
tention is being given to the pruning
of young and old trees in order that
they may be able to support large
loads Of fruit. Yet too many trees
have been neglected and now look like
brush heaps instead Of fruit trees.
Neglected trees should have all dead
and interlocking branches removed
this year. Next year a few more need
less branches should be taken out and
some of the others shortened. The
following year others should be cut
out. In this way severe pruning is
not necessary and tree is gotten into
good form gradually.
Each year the Agricultural extension
division Of the University of Mime
sofa arranges for pruning and spray
ing demonstrations in different or
chards of the state. Communities
wishing this kind Of help, should at
once send in petitions signed by fif-
teen or more persons interested in
fruit-growing. $50,
Pruning is a good subject for a
farmers club to take up in March
and April.

THESE SEEDS YIELD BEST CROPS
HERE

Standard grain crops for Northern
and Northeastern Minnesota are
wheat, oats, barley and rye. Wheat
and rye are usually fall-sown. A strain
Of oats that natures in medium time,
is good, although an earlier strain is
to be preferred in most cases. The
Kherson. the Sixty-day, Swedish Sc
lect, and two pedigree stocks, Mime
sofa No. 281 and Minnesota No. 295,
have done good work. The later va,
rieties, sometimes requiring as long as
120 days, have a more limited field.
Choose a six-row barley, such as
Minnesota No. l05 or Wisconsin No.
8. The former yielded an average of
more than IS bushels at the Northeast
experiment station at Duluth last
year. It is we'll to grow hulless va
riety for poultry and pig-feeding. At
the Duluth station good results have
been secured with a mixture of BUSH
els Of oats, 6 or pecks of Minnesota
No. barley and 6 pecks Of rye, drill
ed together.
For fodder corn plant either Mime
sofa No.. IS or Northwestern Dent.
