CHlGlS BACK TO OLD HOME
Roman Family to Occupy Historic Villa of
 Original Owners.

After 337 years the historic Villa Farnesina, on the banks of the Fiber half-mile distant from St. Peters church, will again be occupied by de ScendantS of its original owners and builders, the Princes of Chigi, says q Rome correspondent.
 The head of the house, Prince Lu- dovic Chigi, who last year was ap, pointed marshal of the Holy church and the guard of the Conclave and therefore, rules the Vatican during the interim between the death of pope and the election of new one, recently disposed of the Chigt palace to the Italian government. It is stated that by this sale he was put in a position to buy back the Villa Farnesina, erected in 1509-11 by the Papal banker, Agos- ino Chigi, and notable because of its frescoes by Raphael.
 The palace will be restored and re- furnished as it was when first occupied by the Chigi family, an auction sale having been held recently to rid the palace of the furniture left there by the king of Naples.
 The return of the Chigis is consid- cred remarkable since it is proverbial in Rome that when once family leaves it's home it leaves forever.

No Other Place Would Do.

A dentist, who had been made nerv- ous by frequent burglaries in his vicinity, was somewhat startled recent ly by having man come regularly at the same hour every evening and sit on his doorstep. He finally suggested that, if it would be all the same to him, he would be pleased to have him divide his attention and sit on some reighbor's doorstep for while.
 But it wouldn't be the same" shouted the visitor" nor anything like it. You are dentist, and I have an aching tooth that I haven't the cour- age to have pulled out. I come here every afternoon trying to make up my mind to have it out, and as soon as come in sight of your house it stops aching, but when I sit on your door steps, and the confounded thing knows it can be pulled out if it gives me trouble, l have some rest"

TO FIGHT ANIMAL DISEASE
Department of Agriculture Will Wage Battle on Hog Cholera and Dreaded
 Cattle Tick.

(From the United States Department of
 Agriculture.)
 A more intensive fight than ever be- fore will be waged by the United States department of agriculture on hog cholera and the cattle tick with funds made available by the recently enacted food production bill. Between them, hog cholera and cattle-tick fe- yer cause annual losses of approxi- mately $60,OO0,0O0. In an effort to stem these losses and so, in effect, to increase meat production, the depart ment will put greatly enlarged staff of specialists to work in the field With in the next few weeks. Tick eradica- tion, which is essential to building up cattle raising in sections of the South now infested by ticks, will be extend- ed in all affected states. Twenty-Five veterinarians will be added to the de- partments staff to carry on the work against hog cholera throughout the hog-raising sections of the country.

Over the Fence and Out.


 At the Gibson county fair at Prince ton there are places where the fences must be guarded to keep boys and others from swarming over and in, says the Indianapolis News This year one of the amateur policemen appointed for long strip of fence sat down in the shade and fell asleep. Ben Murphy, president of the association, chanced to see long, gangling youth climb the fence there. You'll have to pay or get out" he told the youth. "Got no money; guess I'll get out, was the response. No, on second thought" said Murphy, I'll let you stay in on condition. You go wake that policeman and tell him you climbed in over the fence."
 "Shucks, then he'll throw me out"
 ''Try it, anyway" said the presi- dent; you'll get to stay"
 Long Boy did as bidden. q climbed over the fence," he told the aroused watchman.
 What" exclaimed that individual. 'Then right out you go."
 He dragged the youth toward gate, but the youngster yelled Justify to Mir. Murphy, and he came up.
 "I'm putting this hoodlum out" ex- plained the policeman; 'he climbed the fence'
 ''He said he did" snapped back the association head, but I told him to stay, and have appointed him to keep you awake. Turn him loose."
 Long Boy saw the fair but no more of his kind got over the fence that day.

by the bureau of entomology-thi one in Calhoun county, Texas-the stalks growing on 40 acres of land were destroyed early in October. Careful records kept during the fall each season showed that this work had increased the production more than one-fourth of bale per acre over the crop on a check area nearby where such work was not done. Circum- stances surrounding the experiments show that the advantage was probably considerably greater than indicated by the estimated increased yield. which is very conservative.
 Proper Time for Work.
 No definite rule can be laid down as to the proper time for destroying weevils in this way. In general, the proper time is whenever the weevils have reached such numbers as to tn- fest practically all of the squares that are being set. This may occur much earlier in some seasons than in others. Fall destruction as late as November will accomplish much, but several times the number of weevils can be destroyed if the work is done in 0c- tOber The rule should be to destroy infested plants at the earliest possible date in the fall. It Is much better to sacrifice a small quantity of cotton than to defer the operation. The loss will more than be made good by an increase in the next crop.
 In regions where the loss of organic matter from the burning of stalks is important, it is advisable, the special ist says, to cut the stalks by means of the machine usually employed for that purpose and bury them deeply as possible. This will cause the destruc- ton of many of the immature stages of the weevil in the squares and bolls. Other fall measures against the weevils include blowing under infest- ed squares, grazing cotton fields with cattle, sheep, ST goats, and prevent ing the growth of volunteer cotton or sprouts from the old stumps.

LIBERTY LOAN SALE
 BEGINS WITH RUSH
GOOD WORK Is BEING DONE TO. WARD sa,ooo, 900, 900 MINIMUM ENTHUSIASM AROUSED.
CAMPAIGN ENDS OCTOBER 27
Variety of Demonstrations Marks Opening of Drive in Various Cities Average of $125, 100000 a Day
 Must Be Subscribed.

Washington.-The great Liberty Loan drive started throughout the country with a rush. Photographic re- ports to the treasury from every sec tion indicate tremendous enthusiasm on the part of tens of thousands of workers and fair first day volume of subscription toward the $3,000,000 900 minimum which has been set as the goal of the four weeks campaign
 Flags were flown, whistles were blown, acres of billboards blossomed into red, white and blue posters and thousands of workers started the cam- paign with enthusiasm from New England to California Everywhere, from postofices, bank and store win dows, railway stations, street cars and scores of other public places, LiD- erty posters with varied slogans were pasted up and workers began the task of finding buyers.
 Towns from cities from coast to coast welcomed the beginning of the campaign with distinctive demonstra. tions. Here in the capital street cars were stopped for two minutes at noon and automobile horns and sirens let loose bedlam of noise as the field force began It's work. In hundreds of other communities the story was the same, varied only by the methods fol- lowed.
 Boston reported a chorus of steam whistles greeting the opening of the campaign. Mayor Mitchell of New York started 1t there with an address. Philadelphia let loose her factory whistles at 10 o'clock and two hours later gazed skyward at a squadron of six airplanes that circles the tower of the city hall, dropping loan litera- ture, while 5000 boy scouts started collecting contributions.
 Secretary McAdoo opened his trans continental speech making tour in Cleveland, where Iris Speaker, star outfielder of the Cleveland baseball ty Bell at St. Johns Church, Rich mond, where Patrick Henry uttered his immortal "give me liberty or give me death," led the bells of the city in tive-minute proclamation that the drive was on. At Atlanta the presi- dent of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs called up the chair man of the Liberty Loan executive committee before breakfast to get his subscription-and got it.
 Officials here were not inclined to minimize the tremendous task. A vast amount of hard work must be done during the next 23 more work ing days by every person in the ranks of the great organization. An aver age of s125,000 900 a day in subscrip- tions for the entire period would only bring the total up to the minimum. What officials hope for is to make every day a s20o,O0O,0 900 day. or on an eight-hour basis, S25,000,000 an hour This would bring the total to within hailing distance of the s5.O00, 100000 which the country is expected to sub scribe.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face. neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoother and beautify the skin.
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. Adv

 'This is the same doll. But you must remember that was several years ago. She is much older now. You don't expect a grown-up young lady to cry Mamma ]! when she is squeezed, do you?"
 The caller had to acknowledge that whatever she expected, it probably wouldn't take place.
