FEARED TO BE MlSJUDGED
Man Who Wanted to Read Bible
Without Accusing Suspicion as
to His Motive.

His face was OF the kind charac-
teristic Of men who had gone up
against the world and won over all
obstacles and he wanted a Bible,
says the New York Sun.
Haven't you got one with back
Just like the ordinary book and with
out lettering on it?" he asked.
The slim little brunette saleswoman
looked surprised and shook her head
decisively as she produced a volume

airy fashion with the usual inscrip-
ton.
Nothing at all like that" she said.
II doubt II you can find such Bible.
We never have any call for them
bound that way
Then perhaps you can find me one
with a good stiff back, without the
lopovers at the edges, so l can put
cover on it?''
The saleswoman handed him Bible
80 bound. She was too well trained
to ask questions, but she unconscious
ly betrayed an expression which plain
ly said: Il hope you are not ashamed
TO be seen with Bible"
The man was quick to perceive the
expression.
II know this is an unusual request
and an explanation might interest
you," he said Il want to read the
Bible. want to read II all, which
will require some time, as you know,
and as am very busy and most Of
my spare time is of the odds and ends
variety, I'll have to read II wherever
and whenever have the opportunity.
And | desire to read It without
causing comment. You see, I've never
been a churchgoer, and my business
associates and acquaintances have
not had reason to regard me as exact
ly q patron OF religion. Should they
see me reading a Bible at odd mo.
ments, on the train. say, or when mo.
toring about, I'm afraid they might be
seriously apprehensive or digusted, or
both. They'd probably remark some
thing like this:
"'Look at that old reprobate, will
you-reading Bible! Trying to play
pious, eh? And him not bit better
than any OF the rest OF us, either!'"
"Oh, see!" the little saleswomar
exclaimed, smiling Understandings
They might think, for instance, tina,

The Alfalfa WeeviL
Is Spreading Rapidly

exists, it has caused at times a loss
OF 50'per cent of the first cutting OF
alfalfa and a total loss of the second
cutting.
In order that farmers in those sec.

appeared may be able to recognize
the pest and to protect their crops
from it, the bulletin already mention.
ed contains details of its habits and
OF its appearance in the various life
stages. The weevil is most easily
discovered in the form of the full
grown larva. 1t is then green worm
like creature one fourth of an inch
long with black head and a faint
white stripe down the middle OF the
back. 1t feeds upon the al-lfa MAY
ly during late May, June and early
July and may be found by sweeping
the tops Of the plants with an insect
net or by looking for the notches in
the leaves where 1t has fed. When
the larvae are numerous they destroy
most OF the tender growth and cause
the tops to appear white, making the
field look as II frost bitten when
viewed from a distance.
The adult insect is an oval, brown
beetle three sixteenths of an incl
long with a prominent snout. Its
color frequently is nearly black. This
beetle is harder to discover than the
larva, but, on the other hand, 1t IL
present in the field the whole yeal
around. In winter It can be |fount
by digging about the crowns and thu
roots of alfalfa plants.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 5.--The
alfalfa weevil is spreading in way
which makes 1t possible that sooner
or later every section of the coun-
try will have to consider the problem
of guarding against this pest. Dur
ing the twelve years since the weev-
II was introduced into America 1t has
been confined to the limits Of the
Great Basin of the West. but it has
been found this year by IN eBureaI
Of Entomology at Malta, McCammon,
Pocatello and Blackfoot, Idaho, all
well within the Snake River drain
age system, and at Duchesne, Utah,
in the Colorado River system, which,
like that OF the Snake, slopes to the
Pacific. Within the Great Basin the
weevil has spread as far south as
Richfield into the alfalfa fields OF
central Utah. The insect in spread
ing across the continental divide, De-
partment entomologists say, is to be
regarded merely as passing a CON
venient landmark rather than as sur
mounting barrier, for experience
has not shown that 1t spreads faster
along rivers than across mountain
ranges. Nevertheless 1t is now many
miles nearer to important alfalfa
growing districts which have hither'
to felt safe from its attack.

A NEW POST OFFICE
Carney Point Post Office Will
Open March LIST.

Two weeks ago the inspectors of the
mail service thought they had the con-
gestion in Penns Grove postofice par
tally untangled by the addition of exper-
fenced clerks from Wilmington and Phil
a~delphia, but the constant loco of mail
matter will give the most enegertic men
or women the brain flag. About the time
the new clerks become acquainted with
the different family names there are
changes because so many get the brain
fog and leave.
Postmaster Hunt has purchased fifty
more lock boxes and two hundred and
fifty call boxes, which will be erected
soon. They will be a great convenience.
Several hundred more could be rented.
John b. Layton, the rural mail car
rier, who resigned January 1 was re-
called two weeks ago to assist the new
rural carrier from Cape May. Last Sat
urday week the new man left for home
and did not put in an appearance until

was notified. Inspectors arrived and
his derelict service was dispensed with.

With Messrs. Layton and Turner back
on the rural route, the country people
will soon have efficient service, although
there may be delays until the new post
office at dupont Village is opened.
The building for the new postofice
was completed this week. 1t is 3Ox5Q
feet, twice the space in the Penns Grove
post Office. 1t is named Carney Point
Postofice and is located on the west side
of the shell road at the south side of
the permanent village next to the Kidd
farmhouse.
Clarence o. Mccullough, a native of
wilmington, who came from Washington.
ID. c., a few months ago to work in the
Powder Mills, has been appointed to be
the first postmaster. He has his COM
mission. which is dated February 18th,
1916. Earl Warren, also of Washing
ton, will be his assistant. AS they have
had no experience in postal work and
have been here only a few months, it
will be some weeks for them to get ac-
quainted with the names and persons TO
became most efficient. 1t will take some
time for people to learn to send mail to
the new postofice, instead of to Penns
Grove.
The new office has 80 lock boxes, no
call boxes, and 100 other boxes for the
distribution of mail matter.
The new Carney Point p~ostofice will
be opened March l.
