Starts Campaign
Against Tree Pests
To the Farmers and Fruit Growers
of Jackson County:

~ thO l. al hlSlo anu It IulI blOW0lb
of Jackson County:
Mr.. Claude C. Cate Is now in
charge of the fruit inspection in this
county, and as pathologist is ready
and willing to aid you at all times in
any questions relating to agriculture
or horticulture. Mr.. Cate wishes that
you will consult him freely and that
you would bring to his notice any
thing which might prove of interest
to the farming and fruit growing in
dustries Of the valley.
At a meeting with the county in
spectors it was decided to immediate
ly start a vigorous campaign against
our old enemy the blight The in
spectors have been given orders that
all cases of blight which may come
under their observation must be
promptly eliminated. Under the joint
orders of Mr. Cate and myself, the
inspectors have no alternative but
to enforce the prompt cutting out
and burning of all blight infected
wood.
It seems needless for me to dwell
at any length on the Importance of
immediate action in this matter so
l will only say few words on this
subject Spring is comparatively a
short ways off. The weather, be-
tween now and the blooming period
is uncertain and in order to accom-
pish much every opportunity must
be taken advantage of In a short
time we will all be rushed with our
spring work and unless the blight is
removed now there is great chance
that in the spring rush a great deal
of it will be overlooked.
1t seems to be a mistaken idea
among some fruit growers that the
only source of infection from blight
in spring is from hold-over. This
is not the case, as each infection
made from the hold-over is in itself
new source of infection. So that
an infection originating from a hold
over Is only starter, after that
every infection is another source of
trouble.
Therefore, in order to prevent an
outbreak in the spring, 1t Is our de-
sire to eliminate every known In
fection before the sap begins to flow.
We have about $4,000 acres OF
trees in the county and we have but
four inspectors to look after these.
It must also be remembered that
these $4,000 acres is only orchard
acreage and means that in order to
90 over them a greater part OF the
entire county must be covered
The county court has shown itself
to be perfectly willing to aid us at
all times and have no doubt that we
can have as many more inspectors
as we may need. But 1t is our de-
sire that we hold down the cost of
inspection to the last cent and we
are firmly convinced that for the
present at least our inspection force
is ample.
This, however, is only true in as
far as you, as growers and tax-pay-
ers, care to make 1t. The state hor-
ticultural laws require you to keep
your orchards, shade trees, etc, free
from diseases and 1t is mandatory
upon the commissioner and inspec-
tors to carry out the law. Now, If
we receive your hearty cooperation,
we can handle the situation economi-
cally and efficiently and without
trouble or friction. Therefore, 1t is
I'D to you to get behind this move
ment and make it success.
In order to accomplish this we
now appeal to you Immediately to

Remedies for "Chiqqers."

If a 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 infest-
ed with "chiggers," or "red bugs" no
i'll effects will be experienced. After
q long exposure, however, bath has
practically no effect, and direct rene
dies are necessary.
After irritation has set in and small
red spots appear, the application of
moderately strong solution of ammo
MIA to the affected parts is recommend
ed by the department of agriculture's
entomologists. A supersaturated So
luton of bicarbonate of soda, or COM
mon cooking soda or saleratus, will af-
ford relief. Liberal applications should
be made until the irritation subsidies.
If the suffering is severe dilute tine
ture of iodine or collodiOn should be
lightly applied.

NINE SOLDIERS CAPTURE 113
Frenchmen Trick the Defenders OF q
German Field Fort on
the Somme.

One of the most striking episodes
of the great Somme offensive was the
recent taking of the field fort at BIZ
anches and it's garrison of 113 men
by 9 French soldiers.
All attempts to storm the position
had been checked by murderous ma
chine-gun fire until a French officer
discovered vulnerable point. Select
ing a second lieutenant, two sergeants,
corporal and four men, he led them
on hands and knees through the long
grass to the spot wnere he knew there
was breach in the defenses. Then
three of the French officers abruptly
leaped into the work, shouting in
stentorian tones, Forward with the
bayonet!" and throwing bombs which
exploded in the dugout.
The Germans, believing a large force
was with the Frenchmen, had no time
to get their weapons and surrendered.
But now the three French captors be-
gan to feel nervous, as they saw no
reason why the Germans should not
fall upon them and exterminate them.
They were saved by the six comrades,
who came rushing in just at this mo-
ment. Again fooled, the entire Ger
man garrison was marched to the
French rear, escorted by the nine
'poilus," who had not lost a man.

HOW MOUNTAINS ARE FORMED
Earth crumples Up and Makes Great
Hills Where Plains Once
Lay.

In the region now occupied by the
Wasatch mountains a number OF par
allel faults were developed close to-
gether and the broken pieces Of the
earth's crust between them were
pushed up, the rocks on one side OF
each crack riding up over those on
the other side until a great mountain
range was formed where once lay a
plain. During the long period of slow
earth movement which made these
mountains, fiat-lying parallel beds OF
rock were locally turned on edge,
crumpled up and folded in wonder
fully intricate manner. These up
turned and crumpled rocks are well ex-
posed in Ogden canyon. The west face
of the Wasatch range is believed to
mark the plane of normal fault at q
nearly vertical crack In the arth's
crust, the rocks on the east side of
which went down. The forces which
have raised these mountains are still
active, for movement along this fault
has disturbed the surface recently

Went Pretty Far Back.

There is not a large collection of
anecdotes about Charles e. Hughes.
One Of them dates back to the time
when he was governor Of New York
and was making one of his appeals to
the people," 1t indicates that he is
apt at repartee.
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler had been
saying in one of his drives that MIR.
Hughes was a modern Oliver Crom-
well: "Mr. Hughes was speaking in an
upstate city on the following day when
a man In the crowd shouted: "How
about Oliver CROMWELL"
"That reminds me-" the governor
beamed, "of the man who was asked
by the waiter what kind of soup he
would have.
"'What kind have your the diner
replied.
"'Oxtail,' said the waiter.
"'Isn't that going pretty far back
for soup?"

Reconciliation.

In most families and among friends,
differences sometimes arise that are
decidedly unpleasant. In nearly all
cases these differences spring from mis-.
understandings. A time comes when
explanations, apologies and reasons
are in order, and a reconciliation takes
place. This is q thing much to be
desired, and when it comes, wash the
slate clean. Leave no fragments, no
left-overs to be brought up at another
time. Wash the slate clean as you
would wipe out a faulty example.
Cleanse the heart of the last drop Of
bitterness or resentment. Let love and
good will prevail. A genial spirit brings
more real happiness than manner so
reserved as to raise doubt of the pleas
ure of meeting, doubt that reconcilia-
ton was mutual. So forgive as to for
get. 1t has been done and can be done.
Such forgiveness wins good will and
cements friendships that Fill life with
joy. Hold yourself ready to wash the
slate clean"

The Stoker In Battle.

In the modern battleship, as is well
known, the stoker, like the oarsman of
ancient Roman galley, has his work
all below deck. The seafight RACES
above him, and he can rarely If ever
see a battle. One of the stories con-
nected with the battle of Jutland IL
Illustrates the stolid character OF the
British stokers. A chance was given
two Of these during the fight to come
from below. They were on the War
spite, which was heavily engaged. One
of them was telling q domestic story
to the other as they went UP to the
deck. At the hottest moment of the
fight their grimy heads appeared at the
top of the hatch round which splinters
of shell were crashing. Above the
hellish din the impassive voice Of the
story telling stoker was heard, as calm
as though at a pub" over a mug Of
ale, saying, 81 always thought e ort
to ave married 'er."

Quest for Youth.

One child of the period was curious
to know what became of the old moons.
A greater puzzle is what becomes OF
the old men and women.
People refuse to grow old; perhaps
because they are afraid to. They are
like the wonderful one-horse shay,
proof against the ordinary process of
gradual depreciation. They last so
many years. seemingly unchanged and
Interchangeable, and then-suddeniy drop
into pieces.
Old age is questionable. and gravity
pardonable only in the very young. 1t
is said that the majority of tango stu
dents are well over fifty.
A boy may delight In bluebooks,
Greuzelike young girl may addict her
self TO the study of eugenics; but that
way fogeyism and frumpishness lie for
the man or woman over forty.

TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
They Should Be Taught the
Meaning of Thrift.
FROM A NEW POINT or VIEW
Child Must Be Encouraged to Think
of Cost in Terms of Human Eff
fort, Rather Than of
Price.
BY sIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

VIZ HATEVER benefits may flow
w, from the training of children,
they are supposed to have some rela-
ton to the future; but the training
itself is founded upon the experience
of the past. That educating children
to live tomorrow according to the wis
dom Of yesterday is not always a
sound procedure is illustrated by the
prevailing attitude toward thrift"
Everyone, nearly, pays formal homage
to the supposed virtue of thrift, and
everyone, nearly, resents in his inmost
heart the niggardliness and narrow
ness suggested by the word.
In this country thrift has tradition
ally meant the scheme of savings
worked out under pioneer conditions
during Colonial times. 1t applies, of
course, to the whole economic outlook,
but it is especially prominent in con-
nection with the idea of saving. The
early settlers found plenty of land and
plenty of timber; but the products of
labor were to be attained only with
much effort. Raw materials that in
vOlved labor, such as wool and linen
and all of the metals, which had to be
brought from Europe, were carefully
boarded. Clothes were mended and
patched until they simply could not
hold together any longer, and then
the rags were saved for carpets and
quilts, or for making paper. A patch
was an evidence of thrift" and thrift
was a commendable virtue.
But the cultivation of land was car
ried on in a most wasteful manner,
and good timber was burned and de-
future needs of the country. These
facts only emphasize the fallacy of
the common notion that we may teach
such an abstraction as virtue" and
then expect it to perform it's function
in the regulation of human life. Thrift
was very earnestly cultivated, but it
had no meaning except in relation to
particular kinds of commodities. Fire
and fat had to be saved, but what
ever was plentiful was disregarded as
carelessly as the present generation
disregards matches and paper.
Yet every generation has to teach
It's young the best that it knows about
the handling of the material basis of
life. The difficulty lies in not recog-
nizing that economic changes are con-
stantly going on, and that it is neces-
sary to readiust past experience to
new situations. A little boy who had
acquired an interest in spending money

Eeedinu the Infant.

The infant is born with store of
iron within it's body. During the nurs-
ing period this store is gradually de-
pleted, since the milk contains little
iron.
At weaving time the infant stands
in need of iron. This is usually sup
piled in egg yolk, beef press juice,
scraped beef, prunes, whole wheat
foods and oatmeal, and some ply
sicians of unquestionable standing
recommend spinach.
Egg yolk is of especial value as a
source of iron, calcium, phosphorus
and lecithin. But it is an exceedingly
rich food. 1t must be fed with great
care on two accounts, first, to avoid
making the baby sick, because while
it is usually well taken it acts like
poison to some infants, and second, be-
cause the value of egg is so great that
it is especially unfortunate if you up
set the infant by an overallOwance,
since it may be long time before il
will regain it's tolerance for this food.

Suggested That He Keep Record Of
All That He Bought.

upon the sugar or the paper, we should
try, as quickly as possible, to get him
to think in the larger aspects of the
problem. A child of seven or eight is
usually quite capable of understanding
the principle of avoiding waste, and
of applying it quite generally to all
kinds of materials. The other side
of our problem is to establish through
the routine of the home a sane atti-
tude toward the whole question of the
use of materials. 1t is not enough to
repeat from time to time the adage
about being penny wise and pound
foolish" 1t is necessary constantly to
keep before the children the idea that
the justification for getting is not hav-
ing, but using. Material wealth is to
contribute not to our repute, not to
our power over others, but to life more
abundant.

their prices. On the other hand, we
have learned to think of cost in terms
of human effort, rather than in terms
of price. The children can learn to
think of their surroundings in the
same way, although it is almost impos-
sible to escape the idea of price en-
tirely.
A teacher once observed child
crumpling up a piece of paper that she
had spoiled" by few slight pencil
marks. On being reproved, the girl
affected an injured ART seemed to
her rather small to make fuss about
a cheap piece Of paper. The teacher
got the attention of the class and set
before it new problem in arithmetic.
There are so many sheets of this kind
of paper in a pad, and the board of
education pays so many cents pad.
The little girl who precipitated this
problem curled up her lips triumph
antly-the sheet she had spoiled cost
a very tiny fraction of cent! But,
the teacher continued, there were sew
eral hundred thousand pupils in the
schools of the city, and the average
attendance was about IT'S days year.
What would it cost the city to give
each child an additional sheet of this
paper each day?
The fraction of cent is not worth
considering; but the wanton and I'M
necessary waste of materials is worth
very seriously considering. Instead,
however, of fixing the child's attention

was given an opportunity to exercise
this interest by being sent to the
neighborhood stores to buy as much as
possible for the household. His IA
Their, thinking to combine the business
of learning with the pleasure of spend
ing, suggested that the child keep a
record of all that he bought for his
mother. when 1 was your age" he
said, 81 kept an account of all OF
grandmother's household expenses"
The child's mother was at loss. She
approved of the boys writing and add
ing; but she also realized the difficulty
she had in making her husband I'M
derstand that the prices with which
he became familiar as boy were no
longer current She wished that he
had never been so thoroughly drilled
in the prices of the early SOS of the
la e century.
This father, like so many others,
continued &c think of cost and saving
in terms that no longer apply. In the
same way, every family cultivates It's
pet economies-and its pet extrava-
gances. In a certain family sugar is
looked upon as the index of frugaiity
whoever takes two or more Jumps OF
sugar to the cup is extravaganza ana
whoever takes one or none is thrifty.
In this same family are trunks full of
old clothes that no one will ever use,
and the rental cost of storing them is
equivalent to more than tenth of the
tbtal cost of the dwelling. Yet these
people think nothing of spending sew
eral thousand dollars a year on motor
cars-because motor cars came into
their lives after the standards of thrift
had become established.
We shall have TO teach thrift, or ITS
present-day equivalent, from a new
point of view. We have learned that
materials of all kinds have value in
proportion TO their contribution TO hu'
man welfare. and not in proportion to
