Mount Vernon Record.l
1t may be impairment but the
Record wishes to get Mr. Harding
straight on the road question. Mr.
Harding said, at the state convention
at Cedar Rapids, that any road money
from the government is graft, and he
is opposed to taking any of it. On
the other hand the government has
appropriated about seventyfiVe mil
lions for good roads, of which Iowas
share is approximately three millions
The money is appropriated with ref
erence to the rural routes mileage OF
the different states. Only those states
get this money that have highway
commissions. What the Record would
like to know, and what it considers one
of the most important issues of the
campaign is, will Mr.. Harding oppose
Iowa's cooperating with the govern
ment in road building. and thereby
getting her share of this appropriation,
or will he assist?

A treaty for the purchase of the
Danish West Indies by the United
States has been negotiated between
the governments of Denmark and the
United States and in the near future
is to be submitted to the senate OF the
United States and to the two houses
Of the Danish parliament for approval
it is announced. If the treaty is rati-
fed as it stands in project" form the
United States will pay for the islands
s25,000,000 and in addition will re-
1inquish to Denmark the rights Of the
United States in Greenland. Green
land is a Danish possession, and the
rights which the United States win
abandon are merely rights Of dis
covery, the scope OF which is i'll de-
fined. The United States will obtain
from Denmark full possession OF the
islands Of st. Thomas. ST. John and
st. Croix, or Santa Cruz, as it is better
known. These islands lie about Atty
miles off the east coast of Porto Rico.
They are 142 square miles in area
and support a population OF $1,000
persons. Nearly all the Inhabitants OF
the island are negroes who live by
cultivation of sugar cane. The islands
will be useful to the United States as
coaling stations or naval stations
Many efforts have been made in the
past half century or 50 to have the
United States take over the islands
from Denmark. Photos show st.
Thomas and King Christian of Dem
mark, who will cede the islands to the
United States.

GRUBS EAT THE STRAWBERRY
Growers Who Have Trouble With Them Should Be Careful In Sc.
 lectinq Land for Plants.

Strawberry growers who are trou- bled with white grub worms should be careful in selecting the land upon which the plants are to be set. Sod land, according to J. R. Watson, en- tomologist to the University of Florida experiment station, is apt to be in- tested with the worms. He advises that the land be given, to some crop not sntured oy the g1aes, for two or three years after the sod is turned under. If the grower cannot wait that long he might pasture pigs on the land six months before planting Pigs root the grubs out and eat them.
 If stable or barnyard manure is used as fertilizer, it might be well to mix with it from 200 to 400 pounds of cy- anamide to the acre. It Is possible that cyanamide cannot be obtained. About 100 pounds of sulphur or enough to slightly color the manure might be added. The sulphur can be applied be- tween the rows.
 Neither of these substances will kill the grubs, but they act as repellents, and will probably drive the grubs away. The best method, however, Is to avoid sod lands.

 A favorite stroll of his was along the city edge, where broken stretch had been developed into striking pic turesqueness. and a number of fine residences had exclusive location. At one spot a pretty rustic bridge spanned a gully with wayward stream trickling through. He paused there, leaning on the railing of the bridge.

He watched them moodily skither here and there and finally settle down along the edge of the ravine. Then he turned his back upon it all.

WHISPERED STORY OF RU7|
And Each Little Jewish Girl Was RI warded With Feast Cake for
 Her Effort.

In the East side of New York in the East end of London the Jewid quarter of Paris or Judengasse of Bel lin, thousands of Jewish mothers au grandmothers gathered the littt daughters of the family to them od night recently. Into tiny ears wa whispered the story of Ruth, the faitl full. In each kitchen stood a neI broom, and tallow candles burnd brightly on tables spread with meat wines and cakes.
 Little daughter" each mother whI pered. do you know what Ruth sai to Naomi?"
 "Yes," each little girl replied cage ly. She had rehearsed the great ep for weeks. Ruth said 'Entreat T not to leave thee, or to return frO following after thee. For whither tho goest, I Viii SC and where thod lod est, will lodge; thy people shall my people, and thy god my God :"
 And, beaming her pride, eac1 mot CT then said:

 Thus the feast of Shabuoth VI ushered in. The broom was just { much part of the ceremony as tf reward of cake. With it one cou sweep out the spirits and demons, u scheidim and masikim, which ghet traditions of the medieval ages ins are present during Omer, the slime b tween Passover and Shabuoth.-Ne York Tribuae.

 On this 5-acre plot, stable manure at the rate of 15 loads per acre were spread late in the fall on the growing crop of wheat and clover. The cost of seeding the 6-acre plot was: Flow ing, $16; disking, rolling, narrowing and seeding, 16; ton of acid phos- phate, $14; seed wheat, $5.30; clover seed, $9.
 The cost of seeding the 5-acre plot was: Flowing, $14; disking, rolling, narrowing and seeding. $14; one car load of ground limestone, spread, S66; seed wheat, $5.25; clover seed, $l.50.

CARE FOR HAPPENING LAMBS
Worth While to Remember That Feed Lot Should Be Kept Free From
 Other Animals.

Many people are of the opinion that a sheep is nothing but scavenger that needs little attention, but it will be found that the more care and atten- ton the lambs receive the greater the profits will be. Among the items of good care in fattening lambs the fol- lowing are worth remembering: The feed lot should be kept free from other animals. Lambs should be fed with regularity. Quiet in the fed lot is important. Feed troughs should be kept as clean as possible. Salt is nec- essary and slSould be before them at all times in separate trough. Lambs do not need much shelter, but a good windbreak is necessary and an open shed whereby their coats and feet can be kept dry gives the best results.

Oriuin of the Ioothhrush.

When did the English first adopt the toothbrush habit, which is now being denounced by certain medical author ities? In "Esmond" Thackeray makes Lord Castlewood spend "a tenth part of his day in the brushing of his teeth and the oiling of his hair" and in doing so the novelist commits
 double anacronism. During the first half of the eighteenth century all fine gentlemen wore wigs and had no use for oil on their hair, while the tooth brush was as late as 1754 unknown to Lord Chesterfield. Writing to his son, Chesterfield says: "I hope you take great care of your mouth and teeth and that you clean them we'll every morning with sponge and tepid wa ter, with few drops of arquebusade water dropped into it. do insist upon your never using those sticks, or hard substance whatever, which always rub away the gums and destroy the var nish of the teeth. ."-London Chronicle.
