WAR SAVINGS
DRIVEDELAYED

What is John S. Drum Of San Fran,
cisco. who has hocn appointed hv the
United States treasury department as
director Of the war savings certificate
sale campaign for both California and
these islands, going to do for the Ter
ritory OF Hawaii in the way Of making
the drive here. is the question that is
Worrying Postmaster y. II. MacAdam,
and the local financial and business
men. 1t is more than two weeks since
the campaign started on the main
land, and as yet not a single thrift
stamp, War-savings stamp or warsaw
ings certificate has reached here.
What tanges the situation still
more is the cancellation yesterday n
letter from the Postmaster General
at Washington. D. c., of the authority
previously given the local postmaster
to appoint first class agents TO carry
on the campaign. The postmaster gen
eral did not revoke the authority mere
ly in this one case, but has revoked
the order given to all pOstmasters
throughout the United States and its
territories to appoint these agents.

the campaign should be carried on has
been received, but no stamps, or cer-
tificates. A number Of the financial
houses received letters this morning
from the treasury department at
Washington. D. c., asking them to
act as agents for the campaign and
push it along, but these financial men
have gone to Postmaster MacAdam
and asked him for the stamps and he
has thrown up his hands and replied
that the stamps are not here. the
concensus of opinion appears to be
that one John S. Drum of San Fran.
cisco has been asleep and no one
here has dared TO send cablegram
waking him up to the fact that before
a war savings certificate sale cam
paign can be conducted the goods tc
be sold must be on hand for display.

Theodor Jorgensen, native Of

He was supposed to have no heirs. But
when his death became known there
suddenly sprang up score of persons
who claim the estate. At least some
of them can substantiate their rela-
tionship, and the people of Langeland
are glad because the 100000 will
come to their island.

FINLl.A MD,

The ireland 81 Russia' flung it,
final word Of defiance at tho Russian
provisional government. and promptly
translated 1t into action The Finnish
landtdag passed a bin declaring Fin
lands absolute independence from Rus
sia as separate autonomous state. IN
taking this action the separatists opeh-
ly admitted that they were taking ad.
vantage of Russia's plight. They ar
gued that Russia, confronted as she
is with terrific difficulties at home
and at the front, will not be able to
try to repress Finland's dissaffection
by force of arms. With disaster on
the march in Galicia and the German
big guns booming on the Riga-Dvinsk
front, any military steps to enforce
Russfa's authority on Finland seems to
be out Of the question. On the other
hand, to leave the Finnish secession
unchallenged would be inviting the
Ukraine and many other provinces to
follow Finland's lead.
The Finnish landtdag, having by a
vote of 165 to q, declared the neces-
sity of Immediately voting the auton-
omy bill, adopted it forthwith in full
by vote of 1876 to IS. The landtdag
rejected by vote of 104 to SO an
amendment by Deputy Cullas propos-
ing that the bill should be submitted
for the appreciation Of the Russian pro-
visional government.

COMBAT GARBAGE WORMS.
G. C. Becker. State Entomologist,
 Gives Spraying Directions.

Miss Annie Woods, home demon stration agent, has had number of inquiries from club members and others as to how to combat the cab bage worms, which are beginning to do damage to growing cabbage, and in response to these inquiries she has handed The Star the following instructions prepared by George C. Becker, entomologist of the Arkan- sas Experiment Station:
 NO insect pest is so commonly known as the imported cabbage worm, commonly called the cabbage worm. This velvety green cater pillar is easily controlled by spray ing the cabbage plants with arsenate of lead.
 Before setting out the cabbage plants, dip them in mixture con- sisting of ounces of arsenate of lead paste, or 2 ounces of arsenate of lead powder in three gallons of water. To this add about two ounces of any kind of soap to make Tt stick to the plants better. On a larger scale this strength of ap- .plication would be four pounds of arsenate of lead paste, tor two pounds of the powder, and two pounds of soap to fifty gallons of water.
 After setting out the plants they should be sprayed as often as ne- cessary with this spray solution. Leave of spraying about two weeks before the heads are to be harvest ed, and if you do this it will be im- possible for you to be poisoned as result of having eaten sprayed cabbage heads.
 Tt is frequently urged that there is danger of eating cabbage which has been sprayed with poison to kill the worms, but government inves.. legations have shown that where the outer leaves are removed, as is al- ways done in preparing a head for cooking, it is impossible for anyone to be poisoned by eating cabbage which has been sprayed even week before it was to be harvested"
