simple principle of auger and the fine
shavings will automatically be taken W

to the nearest weodpulp paper mill OF
turpentine still This remarkable de
vice will be tried out within the next
few DAYS by the Great Southern Lumber
Company at Bogalusa. and from field
tests already made its success is consid-
cred assured The machine weighs 4O,-
900 pounds and is operated by trsc-
tor and moves from stump to stump
under its own power 1t eliminates
stump in an average Of one minute
and five seconds and is rated to reduce
a stump every five minutes. allowing
for movement between stumps. The
big auger cuts the stump 1S inches in
the ground, leaves a small hole and the
land ready for the plow. 1t is known
as the Moore Rotary Stump Cutter and
is owned by a group of prominent New
Orleans men. Recently moving pic
ture film Of the cutter at work in the
field was exhibited to the officers of the
Great Southern Lumber Company at
Bogalusa, who were so impressed with
what they saw that they at once en-
tered into an arrangement TO have the
machine moved on their land. If it
proves satisfactory to them 1t will serve
as a rapid and effective producer of pine
shavings for wood pulp, thus eliminat-
ing the expensive process of "hogging'
chips, chunks and broken wood, now
necessary. Land owners, particularly
large number interests, are watching the
dem monstration closely.

CLEAN HANDS.

Disease germs lead a hand to mouth
existence. If the human race would
learn to keep the unwashed hand away
from the mouth many human diseases
would be greatly diminished We
handle infectious matter more or less
constantly and we continually carry the
hands to the mouth. If the hand has
recently been in contact with infectious
matter the germs of disease may in this
way be introduced into the body. Many
persons wet their fingers with saliva
before counting money, turning the pag
es of book. or performing similar acts
In this case the process is reversed, the
infection being carried to the object
handled, there to await carriage to the
mouth of some other careless person. In
view of these facts the U. S. Public
Health Service has formulated the fol-
lowing simple rules of personal hy-
giene and recommends their adoption
by every person in the United States.
Wash the ands Immediately

Failure to Arrange Ample Protection
From Hot Sun Results In Large
Number Of Deaths.

By PROF. H. l. KEMPsTER, Missouri,
College Of Agriculture.)
Failure to provide shade for poul.
try during the summer months not
only results In a large number of
deaths, but the flocks are less produc-
tive. The Importance of summer shade
cannot be overestimated. Poultry of
all kinds require shade. Ducks and
geese very quickly succumb If they are
Unable to get protection from the suns
rays. 1t Is easy to provide plenty of
shade. The Missouri College of Agrl-
culture recommends the following
ways of furnishing shade for poul-
try. Portable houses q be set up
on blocks SO that the birds may run
underneath; orchards, sunfiower
patches, cornfelds, etc, can be Sc ar
ranged that the young stock or mature
hens may run In them. Cornfelds
make excellent summer range for
young stock. They furnish plenty of
shade and other conditions for rapid
economical growth are ideal. A little
planning on the part Of the farmer
will make poultry-keeping more profit
able. BY providing shade the losses
are reduced, the flock is more prodnc-
tive, and the young stock will make
more economical growth.

twigs. They become full grown during
spring or early summer and during the
latter part Of the summer emerge as
adults.
"Girdlers are easily and effectively
controlled If one will rake and burn
the fallen twigs during winter. This
kills the larvae and reduces the num-
Der which would have become adults

Besides the pecan, the girdler oc-
caslonally works on persimmon, but
its wild host Is the hickory. Practical
ly all the pecan insects breed on hick-
DRY. For this reason all worthless
hickories and wild persimmons near
the grove should be cut. If one does
not wish to cut the trees the fallen
twlgs should be collected and de-
stroyed. Tent caterpillars and pecan
defoliators q be partially controlled
by cutting the hickOries. Basket
worms, pecan bud worms, and girdlers
attack the %Javanese varnish tree. The
fallen twigseof this tree should be de-
stroyed."
The pecan girdler may not be serious
now, but growers cannot afford to give
1t a chance.

philosophically. He is always very
certain that undue influence caused
the young woman to choose the other
fellow Where one man is satisfied
to let it go AT that others make M
their minds that their hopes need not
be entirely Snuffed out until she turns
from the altar the wife of a rival.
Men with such notions make n prac-
tice Of attending every public affair
the girl and her tiance are likely to at
tend or TO call at the homes of friends
she visits. 1t is a very difficult matter
for the young lady to meet the beau
she has Tilted. She feels that she
should not embarraSs him by coldness
nor yet encourage his preSumptionS,
II he has any, by being too cordial. He
cannot be met as a stranger or mere
acquaintance nor yet a friend. Those

ances-content either to meet or not TO
meet-nor yet as friends; for two
whose hearts have warmed toward
each other ever so slightly can never
afterward be only friends. Friend
ship may glide into love, but love
back to calm friendship-never!
If the Tilted beau Is courteous. studi-
ously polite, if they are brought into
contact, but he does his utmostto keep
out of her way, the average girl is duly
thankful. If he persists In lowering
about her, presumlng upon past mem
cries, 1t is embarrassing in the ex-
IRENE to anyone save an acknowledged
flirt.
Foolish is the maid who encourages
the old beau. If it is done to make the
new sutton jealous, 1t rarely works.
More likely than not, he accuses her in
his own mind Of caring the most after
all for No. l. He will not have a heart
that still yearns for Il love It once cast

standing and he goes his way-she GO

Sensible girls will not give an ac-
cepted lover such cause for discon-
tent-and therefore shun the society of
the Tilted beau and take pains to let
him know he Is not wanted when he
persists in making his appearance at
gatherings she attends lowering at her

Thick S%hrubbery or Trees Make It I'm
possible for Driver to See Ap.
preaching Vehicles.

Safety on highways ought to re-
ceive more attention. Speed f1ends and
drunken drivers are already attended
to by laws. but there are many very
real dangers which have received no
attention. One Of these is the road
intersection where thick %shrubbery or
trees make it Impossible for the driver
on one street to e an approaching
vehicle on the other until the two are
ready to collide. Slow driving is of
little avail In such places. The only
remedy Is to clear away the obstruc-
tions to sight, as Is required by regu-
lation In some places. Another danger
spot is the narrow road, with sharp
curves where 1t is impossible to see
ahead OF account of shrubs and trees.
Automobiles have considerable trouble
at times when they meet on such
curves, but the danger to them Is by
mo means so great as 1t Is to the young
man who Is holding his best girl In a
buggy and ~neglecting his horse. Such
an obstruction In the center of q mar
row, winding road is not quickly guild
ed to the side where 1t belongs. I'm
derbrush ought to be cleared away
on the inner sides of such r at
least so that a driver can detect an
other vehicle on the road ahead before
1t La nearer than 70 feet. This does
not require the destruction of shrub
berry or trees, but merely enough thin
ming out of the growth to enable a ear
yiage or motor car to be seen. Still
another danger point is the junction
of q road with another at right an
giles, concealed by an intervening rise
or curve so that the Junction point is
not seen until just before the moment
when the driver on the adjoining road
must turn into the main road. Such
places are extremely dangerous, and
sign posts should be erected to warn
the traveller of their proximity.-Amer-
lean Highway Association Bulletin.

The pecan girdler can be effectively
controlled by clean culture. The ad-
ults lay eggs in the twigs before Cir
rling. These twigs fall to the ground
and the young live in the twigs during
the larval stage. According to J. r.
Watson Of the University of Florida
experiment station the girdlers are
much more numerous this year than
FOR several years. This indicates that
there will be a large crop next year II
precautions are not take against them.
Concerning the insect, Professor
Watson remarks: 1.-THE insect liz one
OF the worst enemies of young pecan
trees. The adult female lays eggs In
the leaf scars of the twigs a year old
or younger, usually in those about the
size Of a lead pencil. Below the last
egg she gnaws a trench around the
twig which leaves 1t joined to the
tree for a short time by a thin neck of
wood. If the girdlers are abundant
they will seriously interfere with the
growth Of the tree.
1.-THE twig soon falls, and supplies
the dead wood necessary for the lar
vac which hatch from the eggs. Lar

From the time the latter couple en-
ter the railway train until they leave 1t
they plan carefully how they are to
act toward each other and talk to COM
pletely fool people as to the fact that
they are newlyweGs.
The experienced hotel clerk spots
them the instant his eyes rest on them.
Did ever a bride and groom appear be-
fore him wearing last years headgear,
clothes and shoes shorn of their first
sheer and squeak? Never! They are
both spick-nnd-span new, from the
latest masculine hat and Parislenne
love of a picture bonnet to suits, gloves,
shoes and hand grips.
The groom steps %nonchalantly up to
the desk to register, picks up the pen
in a matter-Of-fact way and dashes Off
Mr.. So and Sc and Miss SO and SO Of
-. The prudent clerk is too well
used to that sort Of thing to embarrass
his guest by calling his attention to
the first blunder of his married life,
but corrects it good-naturedly as soon
as the young fellows back is turned.
Many hotels provide n bridal table
where the newlyweds may be surround
ed by cOngenial couples, each one of
which Is too much engrossed to note
what the others at the same table are
saying or whether they are shyly hold
ing hands under the morning paper or
not. The head waiter, like the clerk,
needs no intimation from the office
to tell him that he has a bride and
groom In charge and consequently con-
ducts them to the honeymooners' cor
ner in the big dining room.
The young couple marvel at the rapt
devotion the married couples of the
city exhibit toward each other and, oh,
such compliments as they whisper! No
blushing young thing q ask for q
second lump Of sugar in her coffee
without her liege lord whispering ten
derby that she Is sweet enough with
out, but that she shall have the entire
contents Of the bowl IL she wishes. No
wife addresses a remark to her hubby
without calling him dear" and he is
sure to go her n better in his re-
Spouse by answering, "What did you
remark, dearest?" or something equal
u tender.
A brusque, apparently uncongenial
couple of elderlies, who are taking an
other plunge into the matrimonial sea,
are shooed carefully away from the
honeymoOners' table. There must be
no tittering or laughter to disconcert
the young pair who think they can bill
and coo in the great dining rocm to
their hearts content without q soul
noticing them.
Everyone is kind to the young bridal
pair. One of the very best rooms in
the hotel Is given them. Bellboys vie
with each other In waiting upon them.
Staid married people smile benignly
upon them and there are no harsh
notes in loves grand, sweet song.
More likely than not, a vase Of flow
ers appears upon the table in their
room daily. They believe them to have
been supplied by the hotel, but not so
ten to one they have been sent an
onymousiy by some lonely spinster of
the hotel who looks on wistfully at the
happiness Of the honeymooners, or by
some bachelor, equally as lonely, who
wishes to thank them by way Of flow
ers for putting the notion of marriage
into his head from watching their
happy faces. Honeymooners, God
bless them, are welcome everywhere.
