OTHER VIEW POINTS

An official report that the browntail moth in Rhode Island is being exterm- mated is good news. This year one hundred thousand webs were found and destroyed. A year ago the number was seven hundred, thousand. But the gypsy moth pest is not under control. In some of the northern towns and in Newport county large areas of wood land are infected, more spraying appa- ratus is needed and there is need of
 hard work by State and Federal forces. The gypsy moth can be controlled on.y by concerted and systematic action Providence Bulletin.
 Registration has displayed to the country the thousands of aliens in the country not subject to draft. The young blood of the country will even tually want to understand more about how it is possible for Amcri- cans to do the fighting while those making this country a stotping pace escape draft. Possibly in time the people of the country will awaken to the fact that the best time for the alien to become a citizen is when he steps off the boat landing him here, and if he does not want to subscribe to the doctrine of this country, then and there, let him return on the same steamer.-M Middletown Press.
 The opinion expressed by General Edwards in his recent Hartford ad- dress that the war would last at least three years longer and that we would be obliged to take the place of Russia, may seem undu.y pessimistic. But present conditions justify his view. The outlook is for a long and savage war To all intents and pur- poses Russia is out of it. She nav in a measure come back: the proba- bilities are otherwise. We cannot take her further activities for grant ed. General Edwards is trained sol dier and understands the situation better than the civilian. Plainly the only safe course for us is to assume the worst and prepare to exert all the strength we are capable of Our part is no holiday parade.-BristoI Press.
 If the peop.e are willing to have their officials hand picked for them. either by individuals who assume to do the picking or by groups who privilige. If they wish to put an end to such thing they can do it -.n any community in the state by the sim pie process of doing in caucuses what they are supposed to do, namely, make their own nominations. When a cau- GUS becomes merely the ratification of the choice of machine, or selection between the choices of two wings of machine, boss Eovernment begins and the will of the people becomes the joke that politicians of a practical turn of mind know it is. No man liv- ing has more than one vote. No man living can have or retain influence in public affairs except so .ong as the great mass of the people permit him to do so. If the influences he repre- sents are evil or vicious, the people can relegate him to desuetude when ever they please. They can be certain that if they do not take charge of their own affairs plenty will be wifi ing to do it for them. People. liter ally. get the kind of government they deserve.-Hartford Post

WHERE TURTLES COME FROM
Thousands of Sea Tortoise Make An
nual Pilgrimage to Ascension
Island to Lay Their Eggs.

The city fathers are not the only
people who have the privilege of eating

The lords Of the admiralty could, If
they liked, make a monopoly Of the
real article, for they hold sway over
III. NJ. s.. Ascension-which Is not a
ship at all, but an island-where the
turtles come from.
Ascension island Is a very lonely
spot. It's nearest neighbor is st. Helena,
800 miles away. Ascension is half the
size of the Isle Of Wight, and has a
population Of 120-or, rather, a screw"

Georgetown. The law Of the island is
the word of the commanding officer.
Ascension is mainly noted for the an
nual visit Of huge sea turtles. They
come in thousands to lay their eggs in
the warm sand. 1t is probable they
have come for tens Of thousands of
years. Some Of them weigh az much

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT

by local applications. as they cannot

There is only one way to cure catar-
rhal deafness, and that is by a consti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness
is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucouus lining of the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed deafness is the result. Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever.

catarrh. which is an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces. Halls

L A
OF DENTAL

An effort is being made with the
surgeon general and the provost
marshal general to extend to drafted
dental students the privileges that
have been accorded to young men pur-
suing medical studies. The provost
marshal general recently issued an
order that drafted medical students
would be permitted to enlist in the en-
listed reserve corps. In other words
they would be permitted to complete
their course at college. England.
France and Canada have realized, by
bitter experience, the folly of sending
such professional men to the trenches,
the result of the system being that
there is a serious deficiency in those
countries Of properly trained medical
men. 1t is intended in the United
States to guard against such a mis-
take. but dental students throughout
the country are insisting that the i'm
porance of their work warrants a
similar order. The matter is being
called to the attention of the war de-
partment by senators and represen-
~tatives.

A SHOWDOWN
IN CONNECTICUT

The special election which the
death of Representative Hill will force
upon the Fourth Connecticut district
will, we suppose, be used by the
Democrats as an opportunity to de-
mand once more that the voters Of
the district stand by the President
by choosing a Democratic congress-
man. To Republicans it will afford
the opportunity to contrast the record
of the two parties in congress-befote
and since the declaration Of war II
will enable the voters to perceive
which of the two parties foresaw that
it would be impossible to avoid war
under the policies which prevailed st

of the two parties sought to put the

left a sick bed last summer to 90 TO

p~ortance, and to that exertion his
death was due as much as to any other
cause. The type of patriotism which
he exhibited will be the ideal of the

should be a fair test TO show the tenn

SHIPS NEED OF AUSTRALIA
Grain OF Little Value Without frame
portation, as Little Of II Is Used
at Home.

"Australias food production this
year will average normal it Is neither
unusually heavy nor light, but there
Is going to be considerable difficulty
in handling the crops, because there.
are no facilities for transportation"
said II. w. Stephens, a merchant OF
Melbourne, who was visiting the Unit
ed States. "The greatest need Of Aus
tralia today is transportation. Until
ship tonnage is provided 1t is almost
useless for the farmers to complete
their harvesting, as it requires only
small percentage Of the crops to sup
ply the domestic needs. Heretofore
great quantities of grain have been
shipped to England and 1t Is still going
overseas, but in not sufficient quantity,
for England needs wheat now as never
before. But without ships it is impos-
sible for us to send our wheat
abroad.
"The wheat crop Of Australia was
damaged to some extent by mice, and
until the farmers learned how to COM
bat this pest it threatened to become
a serious menace. The farmers used
poison, water, gas and other means,
and finally got rid of them"

ENGINE BUILT LIKE A WATCH
Fast, Modern AlrpIane May Readily
Cost From $4,000 to $4,000 and
Wears Out Quickly.

The engine of your motor car
weighs from 500 to 1900 pounds, or
more. 1t will average from 20 to 30
horsepower p the lowest, says
writer in Golfers. The new airplane
engines run less than three pounds per
horsepower and the finest OF them two
pounds or less. Airplanes have been
built with air-cooled engines for short
distance, fast scouting whose en-
gines weigh less than pound and
three-quarters per horsepower. They
must be quite literally, as an old adj
vertisement used to say, built like
watch"
At present a high-powered airplane
engine Of the best type--say 12O to
$50 horsepower-ca cannot be purchased
for much less than $4,000. And the
whole airplane, big one, may readily
cost $4,000 to $4,000. You can read
lily see why the construction Of only
$4,000 airplanes, as in Englands pro-
gram, would easily equal, for total
expenditure for men and camps and
hangers and repairs and wastage,
more than half billion dollars.
A fast modern airplane has an aver
age life of only about two or three
hundred hours Of active service-say
two months at the outside. This
means that to keep 10000 airplanes on
a battle line you have to be able to
build 5000 per month or more. The
cost would be almost unthinkable.
That is why warfare in the air for any
length of time would bankrupt the
world. And that, In turn, is why war
fare in the air means the end Of all
warfare.

there when he arrives"
"Buenol Another matter"-RicardC
hesitated-"your bonita-the pretty
mare. She is buried Deep"
I'm glad" said Dave. II think
shall sleep better for knowing that.
Since the recent rain had rendered
the black valley roads impossible fol-
automobiles, Dave decided to go tc
Pueblo by rail, even though it was O
roundabout way, and that afternoon
found him jolting over the leisurely
miles between Jonesville and the main
line. He was looking forward to a
good nights sleep when he arrived at
the Junction; but on boarding the
north-bound through train he encoun-
tered Judge Ellsworth, who had just
heard of the CARA killing, and OF
course was eager for details. The two
men sat in the observation car talking
until late hour.
Knowing the judge for a man of
honor and discretion, Dave unb urdened
himself with the utmost freedom re-
garding his suspicious of Ed Austin.
Ellsworth nodded. 'Yes, Ed has
thrown in with the rebel junta in San
Antoine, and Tad Lewis is the man they
use to run arms and supplies in this
neighborhood. That's why he and Ed
are so friendly. Urbina is probably
your cattle thief, but he has hold
over Ed, and so he rode to Las Palmas
when he was pursued, knowing that no
jury would convict him over Ed Aus
tins testimony"
"Dc you think Ed would perjure
himself?" Dave asked.
''He has gone clean to the bad late
ly; there's no telling what he'll do. I'd
hate to see you crowd him, Dave"
"They call you the best lawyer in
this county because you settle so many
cases out of court" The judge smiled
at this. swell, here's chance for you
to do the county good turn and keep
Ed Austin out of trouble"
'How?"
"The prosecuting attorney is a new
man, and he wants to make a reputa-
ton by breaking up the Lewis gang"
"Wellp
"He intends to cinch Urbina, on Ri
cardo's and my testimony. You're 9
friend of Austin's; you'd better tip him
to set his watch ahead a few hours and
save himself lot of trouble. The
prosecuting attorney don't like Ed any
too well. Understands
The judge pondered this suggestion
for moment. "'Young Ed is queer
fellow. Once in while he gets his
neck bowed"
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1917-09-08

Urbina had left for Pueblo before they
could intercept him.
"He's got a girl up there, and he's
gone to get married." Tad explained
'I'm sure sorry we missed him."
Dave smiled grimly at the speaker
"Are you sure he didn't cross to the
other slde?" he asked.
Lewis retorted warmly: "Adolfo's an
albright hombre, and I'll back him
Soil Ed Austin. 1 guess me an Ed
are responsible, amt WEI" Some
skeptical expression in his hearers
face prompted him to inquire, brusque-
ly, "Do you believe what I'm telling
you about his goin' to Pueblo?"
81 guess he's gone-somewhere."
Tad uttered an angry exclamation.
Looks to me like you'd made up your
mind to saddle this thing onto him

a poor Mexican, but / won't stand to

"No?"

Law answered sharply: "You tell Ed

you: I'm going to get all the cattle
rustlers in this county-all of them,
understand"
Lewis flushed redly and, sputtered :
IF you make this stick with Adolf0,
nobody'll be safe. 1 reckon Urbina's
word is as good as old Ricardo's. Ev-
erybody knows what he is"

CHAPTER VII.--Continued.

The mist and an early dusk prevent
ed him from seeing Las Palmas Itself
until he was well in among the irri
gated fields. A few moments later
when he rode up to the outbuildlngs
he encountered middle-aged Mexican
who proved to be Benito Gonzalez, the
range boss.
Dave made himself known, and Be
nito answered his questions with ap-
parent honesty. No, he had seen moth.
ing of sorrel horse or n strange rider
but he had just come in himself
Doubtless they could learn more from
Juan, the horse-wrangler, who was
somewhere about.
Juan was finally found, but he
proved strangely recalcitrant He adj
mitted that he had seen a horse OF
the description given. Probably 1t be-
longed to some stranger.
Dave changed his tactics. "0iga ~ he
said, sternly. DO you want to go to
jail?" Juan had no such desire. "Then

now?"
Juan insolently declared he didn't
KNOW and didn't care.
"Oh, you don't, eh?' Law reached
for the boy. and shook him until he
yelled. "You will make nice little
prisoner, Juanlto, and we shall find a
way to make you speak"
Gonzalez was inclined to resent such
high-handed treatment Of his under
ling, but respect for the Rangers was
deep-rooted. and Juan's behavior was
inexplicable.
At last the horsebOy confessed. He
had seen both horse and rider, but
knew neither. Mr.. Austin and the
stranger had arrived together and the
latter had gone on. That was the
truth.
"Buenol" Law released his prisoner
who skunk away rubbing his shoulder
Now, Benito, we will find Mr.. Aus
tin"
A voice answered from the dusk ::
HE won't take much finding" and Ed
Austin himself emerged from the stable
door. swell, what do you want?"
"You are Mr.. Austin, l reckonT
II am. What d'you mean by abus-
Ing my help?" The master of Las Pal
mas approached SO near that his
threatening scowl was visible. 81 don't
