NOW HE'S DONE IT.

Well, by grannies, our great
Woodenroller has done gone and
did it, just like l expected. Just
to please a few confounded pot
gutted millionaires, he has find
cred away with his gold-plated
"patriotism' and pitched us head
foremost into the great ocean Of
blood that is engulfing the world.
We are now virtually at war with
Germany-and what for? Why,
durn it, because the steel trust
and the powder trust and few
other big greedy combines oftaint-
ed wealth have demanded it. This
great hellabaloo of a fuss with
Germany wasn't started by the
common people Of this country,
you can bet your dear life ON that.
And their wishes were not once
considered in the matter, either.
But when the fighting and the
paying have to be done, then
Mister Common Man will be con-
sidered, all right. He will be in
vlted right up to the front and
given the honor of filing the first
bloody trench with his riddled
carcass.
Oh, but "we' must "fprotect
our rights,' you know.

which we burned fools give them
to skin us alive and make us pay
for it?

HOME GARDEN HINTS.
Garden CutWorm Remedies.

Tomatoes, cabbages. sweet potatoes,
lettuce and other truck plants, espe-
cially those which are started under
glass and transplanted. are subject to
serious injury by cutworms.
These pests appear sometimes in
great numbers in the spring and early
summer. and frequently do severe in
jury before their ravages are noticed.
Their method of attack is to cut off
the young plants at about the surface
of the ground. and as these caterpillars
are of large size and voracious feeders
they are capable of destroying many
plants in o single night-frequently
more than they can devour. Every
year these insects, working generally
throughout the United States. have de-
stroyed hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of crops.
By the timely application of remedies,

Bulgaria's History Recited.

LAS far as Bulgaria is concerned 1t IS
not clear what terms the entente could
expect from her which are not obvious
today to the whole world.
When this war started Serbia re-
quested Greece and Rumania to declare
themselves agreeable to a modification,
in favor of Bulgaria, of the treaty or
Bucarest. At the same time Serbia Of
fered to Russia to make, independently
of Greece and Rumania, territorial con-
cessions to Bulgaria in order to win her
for a united action against the Teutonic
invasion of the Balkans. Bulgaria re-
fused to listen. When Turkey Joined the
Teutons Serbia offered to Bulgaria all
of Macedonia east Of the Nardar river
in order to win her as an ally or RUSSIA.
Bulgaria refused again.
When. finally, in the autumn of 1919.
the Teuton invasion of Serbia was i'm
pending and Bulgaria began to mobilize,
Serbia made her final efforts to stay the
impending blow from Bulgaria by Of
fering her the whole of Macedonia ever
claimed by Bulgaria. including Monastir,
and Bulgaria answered this final EFFORT
of Serbia by stabbing Serbia in the back
at the very moment when Serbia was de-
Tending her northern frontier against the
Teutons. This treacherous blow of Bull
garia is responsible for the destruction
of Serbia, the very destruction aimed by
the Teutons.

courage all who assist you, SO that every

skilled in farming. AS far as possible this
is being met by bringing onto the land
men and women from other industries
They cannot be expected to do work eaua |

Not Easy to Satisfy.

Territorial concessions could not
satisfy Bulgaria: nothing short Of
Serbia's destruction could satisfy her,
because that was the decree of Ger
many and Austria Hungary.
Bulgaria was the agent of the Teu-
tons when she took the leading part
in the cruel execution of Serbia. and
she is the agent of the Teutons today.
What terms could Bulgaria offer which
would be listened to by the entente
alliance Can Bulgaria do anything
today to atone for the treacherous
execution of Serbia" Can Bulgaria do
anything today to prove to democratic
Russia that Bulgaria killed her own
Serbian brother from any other motive
axcept in order to serve well her Teu-
ton master?
The Teuton master and the Bull
garian servant cannot. be considered
separately by the entente allies

How to Kill Cutworms. ..
Take bushel Of dry bran. add one
pound of white arsenic or Paris green,
and mix it thoroughly into mash with
eight gallons of water in which has
been stirred half a gallon of sorghum
or other cheap molasses. (Arsenic and
Paris green are deadly poisons. Handle
them with great care.) This amount
will be sufficient for the treatment Of
about four or five acres of cultivated
crops.
After the mash has stood for several
hours scatter it, in Jumps about the

When the Cutworms Migrate.

When cutworms occur in unusual
| abundance, which happens locally and
sometimes generally, they exhaust
their food supply and migrate to other
fields. This they do literally in armies.
ha bit At such times it is necessary to
treat them the same as army worms.
While the methods which have been
advised are valuable in such cases.
they may be too slow to destroy all
the cutwormS, and other methods must
be employed. These include trenching,
ditching, the plowing of deep burrows
in advance of the travelling cutworms
to trap them, and the dragging of logs
or brush through the burrows. If the
trenches can be filled with water the
addition of a small quantity of kero-
sene, as to form a thin scum on the
surface, will prove fatal to the cut
worms. In extreme cases barriers of
fence boards are erected and the tops
smeared with tar or other sticky sub
stances to stop the cutworms they
attempt to crawl over.
In extremely severe attacks by cut
worms on choice plants there is some
times no opportunity to prepare the
poisoned bait. In such cases an ar
senate of lead spray will answer quite

sprayed with four pounds of ar
senate of lead to fifty gallons of water:

if they had been left alone for day or
two longer the field probabl would
have been destroyed. The result was
a perfect stand-the best ever made by
the grower. In this case five applica-
tions were necessary.
Clean cultural methods and crop ro-
tation are advisable, as are also fall
plowing and dsking. to prevent recur-
rences of cutworm attacks Many cut
worms can be destroyed where it is
possible to overflow the fields. particu-
larly where irrigation is practiced
