Now here's a fine idea, that is right
in keeping with the Red Cross work:
School children who wish to aid in the
Red Cross work may join in groups
under their teacher. BY giving 10
cents 20 children could pay for a
teachers enrolment and subscription
to the Red Cross magazine. The
teacher would read the magazine to
the pupils and all could feel that they
had a share in the work.

Samuel the Mighty.
(By r. H. Dyer.)

(By II. ii. DyerD
o Uncle Sam leaps not to wrath
Like wild. impassioned men;
He loathes to leave the peaceful path
For Wars red trail again;
But despot dareS to mock him
With lips that drip with gore,
And a sanguine hand would block him
AS he ne'er was blocked before.
o Uncle Sans courageous,
Though tolerant and wise;
But treachery mordacious
He does heartily despise,
The dove that COOS contentment
From his kindly, open palm
Notes the shadow of resentment,
Flutters off in mild alarm.
The eagle. preened and ready.
Swoops like lightning from the crag;
On pinions broad and steady
Circles round the starry flag.
The voice of Indecision
Swells to menace on the tide;
And the hand of Admoniton
Seeks the scabbard at its side.
o Uncle Sam is lenient,
But his brow Is clouded now;
His sons abide convenient
To his slightest not or bow.
The hidden bastard demons
Infesting Freedoms sea
Will witness a vehemence
Born of Love and Liberty
o Uncle Sam is mighty!
Though they caught him unprepared,
They'll find him fast and Eighty
When he gets his shoulders squared.
With victories behind him,
And Justice in the van.
And his own dead to remind him,
He will stand as freeman can.
o Uncle Sam, we offer
Soul sinew, heart and brain
And gold-filled vault and Golfer,
That you may well maintain
The high and pl oud position,
Invio1ate since birth,
And the sacred old tradition:
Praise to God, and Peace on Earth.

William Clinton Robinson, son of j.
H. and D ]. Robinson, and native Of
Boone county, Arkansas, died at his
home in Klamath Falls Oregon, June
%, 1917 His remains were shipped
home and laid away in the old family
burying ground at BellefOnte on Sun
day afternoon, July l. 1917 The fu-
neral services, which were attended
by an unusually large crowd, comp
posed of people from several differ
ent neighborhoOds, were conducted W
the writer in the NJ. f Church, South,
at BellefOnte.
The deceased was married when
young to Miss Dora DarrOw To this
union was born three children, two
sons and one daughter all Of whom
survive him, Converted in early life
and having lived a devoted Christian
he was recognized as a fine Christian
character wherever he was known. He
was also a teacher of recognized abil-
ity, having taught school for number
of years, his last work being done in
that profession as teacher of Indians
in a government school in Oregon

nifty go out to the bereayed ones in

HAT AND C0IFFURE STYLES
White Felt Headsear Likely to Be
the Favorite Of the Younger Gen.
eraton-Bead Trimmings.

The younger generation will find
the hat Of white felt, trimmed with a
bow of ribbon or band and tassel
of beads, usually becoming, while
their elders will wear the toque or
sailor of fabric.
Speaking of bead trimmings, nine
out Of ten hats have small porcelain
beads used in some form or other to
adorn the brims or crowns. There are
borders in conventional designs Of one,
two or three color combinations; tas-
sells and cords formed of beads; bead
fringe and bead encrusted bands WOW
on in true American-Indian style.
Just one word more anent the new
coiffures.
The broad-brimmed sailor has
brought about a change in the arrange
hent of our tresses. 1t can no longer
be drawn back, smooth and waveless.
as 1t was for the summer hats. but
must be wavy and looser at the sides.
The proper way to wear the sailor
is tipped over one side, and this means
that there must be sOftening strands
Of hair puffed out at the sides.
"Straws show which way the wind
blows they said, and judging from
present indications the hat of felt or
fabric promises to crowd out Of ex-
istence the once popular velvet

Cooling Moth on Apple.

from destruction by insects-an ac-
complishment quite within our power.
Among the many insects damaging
the apple crop there are two which
stand out pre-eminently as the most
destructive. These are the curculio,
the old offender commonly known as
the plum curculiO, and the we'll
known codling moth. The damage
done to apples alone in the state of
Missouri by these two insects in
year when an average crop is borne
runs into millions of dollars.
In controlling these and other in
sects, apple growers should apply
their arsenical sprays at times when
they will be OF the greatest possible
service. There is limit to the num-
Der of sprays which can be profitably
applied, especially since in many cases
it is also necessary to give separate
spraying fungicides at times when
an insecticide is required, or vice
versa.
Spraying is the chief method of
control of curculiO and Codling moth
in apple orchards, but there are
number OF other natural or artificial
checks against both insects which de-
serve mention.
Banding of the trees to capture the
descending worms Of codling moths
as they search for a place for pupa-
tion was practice even before
spraying for codling moth was begun.
1t has been shown that they will
sometimes capture as high as 40 per
cent of the worms upon the tree but
il cannot be considered practical op-
Grafton when such far better results
can be accomplished by spraying.
When bands are used they must be
looked after every ten days and the
worms destroyed, to prevent the
moth from maturing and making its
escape. II this is not done they Will
only offer safer hiding places and do
more harm than good. They are
sometimes useful in trapping the first
emerging worms in the summer in or
der to forecast the date of appear
ance OF second generation worms
Cultivation of orchards is one OF the
best of procedures for curculio de-
struction. 1t keeps the orchard free
from many OF the desirable hiberna,
tion places for the adult, and 1t un-
questionably destroys high per cent
OF the insects in the ground,
There are many useful natural in
sect parasites and other enemies OF
both curculio and codling moth which
attack them in practically all their
stages and assist very materially in
preventing the damage from them be-
Ing far greater than 1t Is.

INSECTS HARM APPLES
Many 0rChardiStS Who Fail to
Guard Against Pests.
In Many Cases There Is No Excuse
for inferior Fruit Except Neglect
OF Persons to Garry Out Plans
OF Spraying.
CRv f. p TAYIORl

There are comparatively few or
chardists at the present time who
doubt the value of spraying apples
for the curculio and the codling
moth. On the other hand, there are
many who are, in reality. not protect
ing their orchards from these two car
dinal apple pests as much as is posi-
BILE or, indeed, practicable.
1t is unnecessary to go into de-
tail in explaining all the reasons why
fruit, stung from the codling moth
or stung and deformed by the curculio,
is permitted. Suffice to say that in
many cases there is no reasonable ex-
cuse except the failure OF persons to
carry out plans of spraying which are
already well known to be effective.
There is 9 strong tendency, how
ever, noted recently among many
fruit growers to do more careful and
intelligent spraying so that a higher
percentage OF first-class apples may
be produced. A few years OF par
tial fruit failures from adverse and
uncomfortable weather conditions
makes II even more necessary that in
the other years we save our crops
