greatest menaces which hes come TO
American cotton culture in its AIS
taTy. This insect in India, Egypt,
laval, and other foreign cotton
producing countries. has shown
capacity for damage exceeding that
OF the boil weevil. This possibility
or damage has warranted the
department of agriculture, under
authority of the Plant Quarantine
Act, TO make the most strenuous eff
fors to exclude this insect from the
United States. This has involved, as
already noted, the regulation of the
entire cotton importing business.
representing q value of imports OF
from thirty to fifty million dollars
annually, and the control of the
utilization of foreign cottons in all
o. our spinning. weaving and waste
mills, and other factories utilizing
such cotton in any raw state.
The Laguna district. where the
insect has been discovered. repre-
sents one of the most important cot
ton producing areas in Mexico. II
il an elevated plateau region near
San Pedro in central northern Next
co. Cotton culture is there more
intensively prosecuted than any
y here else in Mexico, and il is pos
sible that this very interest in cot !
ton culture has led to the introduce
ton Of the pink boil worm IN the
effort to get improved cotton yaFie-
ties from Egypt or other foreign
sources The discovery that the
worm exists in Mexico resulted from
the sending by planter Of the La
Guna district to the federal hort-
cultural board for determination
81 me cotton bolls from his planta-
ton which he supposed 10 be in
tested with the common boil weevii.
An examination of this material
showed that the infesting insect Is
sbe dreaded pink boil worm OF
Egypt and India.
The pink boil worm hibernates in
the larval state in the seed, and ii
this way is readily carried to any
quarter OF the world by seed exporta-
ton. The adult insect is a small.
moth. The worm attacks the inn
mature cotton bolls, and, in severe
cases, reduces the yield so per cent.
In addition TO this. the amount OF
Gil obtained from the seed of in
tested cotton is lessened from Is To
20 per cent.
In announcing the discovery OF
the pink boil worm near American
eotton-producing areas, the depart
ment of agriculture urges that al
cotton interests give assistance TO the
federal authorities in preventing an,
movement in violation of the new
amendments OF cotton seed. cotton
seed hulls. seed cotton or cotton
lint from Mexico into the United
States.

BY a Lake In Winter.

The deep sense of peace which fills
the woods at midwinter is nowhere
expressed more fully than where a
sylvan lake or pool reflects with calm
surface the grayness Of the patient
skies.
Strained by the autumn scourings
OF the hills, and the decay of innumer-
able leaves. the water is rarely clear
and bright, as when 1t mirrors the
clearer heavens Of spring and sum
AAe.
It gseams to the slanting light that
strihss- between dsnssr masses Of
cloud in tints Of yellowish suffusion
tren the rainscoured clay, or In .
strange jade-green opaqueness.
Whore the naked trees upon the
margin Of the lake project the whole
length Of their reflection upon its un-
moved water. they present an i'm.
preston Of enormous columnar height,
such - can never be equaied after
the leaves of the summer add sub
stance to the lines Of their uppe.

Gets His Soup at Sea.

Because he Is bound for London,
where 1t is impossible to secure sup
ply of the special seaweed out of which
a soup is made that is especially ia
vored by his countrymen, Captain
Takai of the Japanese steamer Kenkon
Maru No. 8, appealed to the customs
officials, the Philadelphia Record says.
AS result Captain Harai of the
steamer Senju Maru, also Japanese,
was given permisson to transfer to
Captain Takai a portion of his supply
of the delectable dainty without which
the voyage would be dismal one for
him and his crew. Captain Harai is
homeward bound and can soon replen-
ish his stock
The seaweed in question. is found
only in the Orient, and it contains a
gelatinous substance which thickens
the soup. and has peculiar appeal to
the oriental palate. In fact, the Japa'
nese sailor claims there is nothing else
80 good in the soup-making line. 1t
is found by fishermen at the bottom OF
the sea and, washed and dried, it finds
ready sale In China and Japan.

CAT CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE
Family Pet Has Been Formally eau
toned that 1.-THE cave".ls Not
Public Property.

Out in Woodruff place number of
small boys have banded together and
done what most boys have done II
they were real-for-sure boys-built q
cave, says the indianapolis News. Ap-
preaching this cave is long under
ground tunnel about two feet square.
What there is in this tunnel in the
way of side chambers and the like, the
fathers and mothers never will know,
but at the inside end Of the tunnel is
the den, about five feet square, built
in side hill and as dark as the most
cavernous depths Of Wyandotte
cave.
One of the youngsters belonging to
the band of cave dwellers hurried
home from school the other afternoon,
donned his cave outfit, and made for
the tunnel. Crawling in flat on the
ground, he made his way toward the
den. Arriving there, he heard a scram-
bling noise just ahead and two fiery
spots loomed up in the darkness. His
teeth chattered with fright. He
couldn't back away, he was too fright
ened to go forward, and there was
no chance of escape at either side.
The fiery spots became active and the
boy became panicky.
Just what happened in there the
outside world will never know, but
when the cat-it was the family cat
came out of the tunnel it was going
some. No cat ever moved faster, and
it didn't stop until it had reached a
barn three lots away.
And the boy-when he emerged his
face was as white as the arctic snow
and he was moving rapidly for the
open. The next afternoon the boy
painted a sign on which were the
words: THE Cave" in white paint, on
blazing yellow back ground. Gazing
proudly at the sign he explained:
Now, if that fool cat can read, he'll
keep out of there"

BLACK MATERIALS IN VOGUE
Really Unlimited Possibilities In the
Color, II It Is Effectively and
Carefully Employed.

Black is to enjoy a marked measure
of vogue this season. That announce
ment has been made by style creators,
in fashion periodicals, in the daily
press. And most women have adopted
it as a statement Of fact, but have
doubted that black could be effec-
lively used for really dressy cos
tunes. Somehow it's past record as
staple" has initiated against its con-
sideration as anything else. A sur
vey of some of the afternoon and eve
ming models fashioned from black ma
terials will dispel any such idea. Black
has unlimited possibilities.
The secret of it's use-successful
use-depends upon the material en-
ployed and the modelling Of the gar
ment.
The dressy black costume must be
more dressy, more elaborate in mod
cling, than the costume fashioned
from colored fabric. Translated into
evening frocks, black materials re-
quire the use of frills and furbelows
in order to counteract the absence Of
color. Lace and nets must be used in
profusion. Satin must be employed,
because it's surface reflects light. Jet
and sequin trimming are utilized for
the same reason. Even black feath-
ers-black paradise-have a place in
the development scheme of the black
evening gown

ONE SET OF BRAINS ENOUGH
Clever Man Makes Mistake When He
Takes to Wife Clever Woman,
Says Writer.

The wife of one of our most cele-
brated literary men said the other eve
ming that a talented man should al
ways choose a wife with nothing fur
ther than domestic accomplishments.
1T is a great mistake for brainy peo-
pie to marry brains" said she deci-
sively," according to London Tit-Bits,
and, happily, few of them do it. Put
two geniuses together in matrimony,
and you have put two cats in bag
nervous, fretful, irresponsible crea-
lures, with no patience and less COM
mon sense. who will be always worry
ing each other and tugging in opposite
directions at the matrimonial chain. If
they are both talented in the same line
they will wear each other out in
the expression of different ideas; but
II they have separate abilities, there
will be pretty often jangle about
which one is the more important.
What clever man wants is clear
headed, sensible wife, who will forget
his vagaries in remembering his bril-
liancy and remain a constant shield
between his sensitiveness and dis
agreeable things; something, in fact,
like one Of those cushions that sailors
put down on the side Of the vessel to
keep it from jarring too roughly
against the dock. Look at me, for in
stance; never wrote word for pub
lication, painted picture, composed
music or did anything clever in all
nv life. But l make nv husband lust
the sort of wife he needs"

SPLENDID LITTLE RANCH

Here is something just right in the
way of small farm, very close to Silt.
OF the 54 acres one-half is in cultira
ton, 10 acres in alfalfa, six or seven
acres of spud or grain land and 1000
lruit trees. Good 5room house, barn,
milk house and cistern, with water
pqsd into the house; good water right
2 horses, wagon, sleigh, plow, barrow
avid a number of small implements. This
property cost the owner nearly $4,000,
plt he is not farmer and has asked
me TO sell it for $500, and it is a
great bargain at that. $1,000 can stand
in mortgage if buyer desires.
