MUCH. GRAIN NOW
SOLD BY RUMANIA

which Rumania was not disposed to
sell TO the central powers last spring
and summer, owing to the belief that
the dardanelles would be forced by
the Allies. Some of the cereals sold
TO the Allies we're moved via Turn
Severin and Kladowa, whence they
were taken over the Serbian railroads
to Saloniki. The conquest of Serbia
closed this route.
With no prospect that the 1915
crop could be sold to neutrals or the
entente group. Rumania was obliged
TO sell to the central powers group. at
Il price which is said to be cry advan-
tageous to the latter. Figures are
not available, however. But that the
central powers drove hard bargain
Is said here to be indicated by the
fact that very little gold changes
hands, whereas all previous purchas-
es IN Rumania by the central powers
were made with gold as the only ac-
ceptable equivalent.
The transaction was discussed in
the Rumanian parliament and was
stoutly opposed by the friends Of the
entente. among them notably Jake
Jonescu. Toma Jonescu. Filipescu
and Mile, Government members and
the grain and landed class interests
took the position that Rumania stood
IN sore need OF the revenues to be
dericed from the sale. these being the
only income Rumania has with which
to cover imports. Very stormy scenes
ensued, but the opposition lost.
Rumania's position is due to her
complete isolation from the worlds
grain consumers. The closing Of the
Dardanelles left Rumania no other
route than that through serbia, which
Is how closed also. To the central
powers, Rumania would not sell, and
what little was bought had to be TAX
en- at prohibitive prices to which vast
sums in the form Of extortion of one
sort or another had to be added. 1t
Is believed that the present transac-
ton cleans the slate.
Agents Of the Entente governments
were active to prevent the sale, but
were defeated by the fact that Rus

Rumanla now has physical contact

Moth Pest Threat-

That property owners will do we'll tc
look to their shade trees, many OF
which, at the present time, are COW
cred with caterpillars entering the
cocoon state, is urged by A. A. Moore
whose observa tons of the moth pest
that has caused serious loss in other
cities, caused him to investigate the
effects.
In a communication to the Times
Republican, Mr.. Moore says:

the pest that destroyed so many elms
in Boston and Washington in 1895.

Trees" covers the subject fully and can
be had by applying to the department
of agriculture, Washington. D. c.
The remedy is as follows:
First, collection and burning OF the
eggs in winter.
Second, spraying tree against the
larvae with arsenical preparations.
Three, creosote oil, with turpentine

Fourth. band tree with ''tanSle foot

Prompt action is necessary if we are
to save our city trees. A. A. Moore.
Mrs. Lora Richardson, principal of
the Abbott school, who is a great bird
lover and nature observer, also called
the Times Republicans attention t.
the danger threatening the City's many
beautiful shade trees. Mrs. Richard
son agrees with Mr.. Moore that the
moth working here is the White
Marked TussoCk, but thinks that the
moth that did such great damage to
the shade trees in Boston was the
Gypsy moth, which Mrs. Richardson
SAYS is first cousin of the White
Marked Tussock.
Mrs. Richardson suggests that the
Junior Marshalltown Club or some
other organization could do a real
public service by Kidding the trees Of
this pest. Mrs. Richardson thinks that
the cocoons could he destroyed now by
burning with rags saturated with
kerosene.

1t is seldom that a hunter in Iowa

ing in Marshall county, northwest of
st. Anthony, Friday afternoon, and
bagged a big bald eagle, measuring
seven feet two inches from tip to tip.
The bird was evidently in transit, as
it was flying swiftly, altho close to the

bird, the second one taking effect.
Upon being examined it was found
that the jaws of the eagle were locked,
