assembled and had retreat, which
closed their days training.
We visited the Y. M. C. A. and Red
Cross buildings, also general head
quarters and here we witnessed a
combined sad and joyful event. This
was the drawing for Christmas fur
loughs. After tearing open capsule
the result was plainly written on
every face.
/ was surprised to see men who a
few months ago were reckless and
care free, settled down to a business
and a realization of what our war
really means. Through the influence
of education on patriotism and strict
discipline it has brought to their OBJ
servation their school day history of
such patriots as Washington, Monroe,
Henry and Lincoln. Above all it has
awakened them to the realization of
the necessity of Jeffersonian democ-
racy. Rigid discipline teaches them
the power of autocracy and many
are rebelling against this because of
their inability to understand. When
competent, these men will be trans
ferred to other stations for training
and you may rest assured that each
man, before he goes to front, is
going to be possessed with a weapon
of justice. Before he leaves he has
made up his mind to fight for you
and me and our homes. He is going
to protect our stars and stripes and
the Goddess of Liberty.
To the man who hinders the pro-
gress of this mass of young humanity
through greed, graft or selishness I
will say that you are lower than the
dust of humanity, you are type Of
man who has not progressed in the
morality of mankind. You are as
ancient in morals as the Babylonians,
and through greed and selfshness you
have become a snake with poisonous
fangs, to the detriment of morality
Christianity.
To fathers, having sons serving US,
I say that you have something for
which you should be proud. We of
the world recognize you have made
a contribution of your own flesh and
blood. You have contributed that
which ic most dear tO UOl1T hanninncc
in life. This contribution should ex-
empt you from all others, and the
only thing you should regret is that
you haven't more sons to sacrifice.
To mothers, let me say that / once
had a mother, and l know the weak
feminine nature of motherly affection
toward her son. Current opinion
teaches US this is a bible war, and
from this standpoint 1 am going to
give an illustration which is synony-

WILL CATCH MILLIONS
Of PESTS IN TRAPS

The state board of health now has
in press a. new bulletin which con-
fains designs for two types of giant
iiy-traps. both of which have certi-
fed records of catching more than
1000 flies daily.
One of the traps is the "bee-gum'
or circular trap, which has been be-
fore the public for. several years and
which has proved itself very success
full In Kidding private homes of the
summer pest. One of these giant
traps, placed on the sidewalk in rear
Of the state laboratory. averaged
more than 5000 flies daily for more
than a week. Another of the same
type, placed near one of the city
markets, had daily catch" of 5000
in July.
The second design Is that per-
fected and used with much success
at the Piping Rock club, Long Is
land. The principle of this trap In
the same as that of the "bee-gum"
trap, but 1t can be more easily con-
structed and is said to operate with
equal success. A series OF these
traps. used at the club that gives them
their name, are reputed to have dis
posed of million flies during a few
weeks.
EitJer one OF these traps can ne
constructed in a short time and at a
cost of not more than seventy Ave
cents for material. If placed where
flies are numerous and il properly
haited. either may be reckoned upon
to give a large degree of immunity
from the pest. The state board of
health hag made numerous expert
ments with bait for the trap and
finds that mixture of mofasses or
sugar and vinegar seems to make the
strongest appeal to the appetite of the
fly. Fish bones are also very good
bait, Where fruit flies are trouble
some. the traps are particularly al
Turing If baited with over-ripe fruit.
The bulletin describing these traps
and containing other Information re-
garding approved methods OF tly-
fighting, can be had free of cost upon
application TO the state board of
health, Richmond.

In six or eight Southern states the
winters are so mild that cabbage

Under normal conditions not enough
cabbage Is grown in the South to
supply Southern demands. The same
thing Is true of other vegetables.

knows the negro must put cotton
