KILL CROP PESTS NOW
Cultural Methods of Great Value
In the Fall

Now is the time to kill next years
crop of plant pests, according to AS
sistant Professor Harold Il. Hagan,
of the Utah Agricultural College
Fall cultural methods, intelligently
applied, will decrease the crop pests
of next year very materially, says
this authority. All weeds should first
be cleaned up. Especial attention
should be paid to fence rows and ditch
banks. Where possible, the ground
should be narrowed in order to kill
the many caterpillars that have been
eating up the crops. These burrow
into the ground an inch or more for
the winter and then emerge in the
spring as moths. Narrowing also
kills certain beetles, such as the alfal-
ia weevil, that hibernate under the
brush.
All crop refuse left in the field af
bSi NllS hdi Ntoty Sutl 40 Wlcdl SluD-
BILE, beet tops, vines from peas and
beans, or similar refuse, should be
fed off or plowed under. The former
method is to be preferred. This is
necessary because many insects live
over winter under the protection of
these leaves and stalks. The wheat
straw worm and the wheat joint
worm, for insance, live over winter
on the wheat stubble, These and sim
liar pests can be almost wiped out
by clearing the land of these refuse
materials.
Newly broken land should be plowed
this fall to control, in part, several
destructive pests. If the new land is
sod land, many insects that work on
the cereal plants will be destroyed.

THE SOLDIER AND
SAILOR INSURANCE

The soldiers and sailors war-in-
surance bill, the first step in Govern
ment insurance, and what is pro-
nounced the most generous effort on
the part of any nation to care for the
dependents of its fighting men, was
passed by the lower house of Congress
Thursday night, Sept, 10, by vote of
$40 to nothing.
The bill as passed by the House fol-
lows almost exactly the lines laid
down in the plan of Army insurance
worked out by Secretary McAdoo and
his coadjutors and embodied in
draft of bill approved by President
Wilson and presented to Congress for
action.
The press of the country seems to
think that the unanimous approval
given the bill by the lower House of
Congress is thoroughly representative
Of the feeling Of the whole country.
Secretary McAdoo's comment was
as follows:
"The unanimous passage by the
House of Representative of the bill
for the compensation and insurance Of
our soldiers and sailors is distinct
triumph for justice and humanity. 1t
is the most conspicuous and advanced
step ever taken by any nation for the
protection of its soldiers and sailors
and their dependents. The prompt
passage of this bill by the Senate will
satisfy the heart and conscience Of
uplifted America"

Mrs. Smith Recommends Chamber
lain's Tablets.

81 have had more or less stomach
trouble for eight or ten years. writes
Mrs. G. II, Smith, Brewston, N. Y.
"When suffering from attacks of indi-
gestion and heaviness after eating,
one or two of Chamberlain's Tablets
have always relieved me, have also
found them pleasant laxative"
These tablets tone up the stomach
and enable it to perform it's functions
naturally, If you are troubled with
indigestion give them a trial, get well
and stay well.

HOW THE WAR HAS
CHANGED NEWPORT

Like thousands of other places,
Newport has been made over by the
war The very streets look different;
the spirit Of its people have under
gone a sweeping transformation. AL
though this is true of every other city
yet | think it is most evident in New
port--for in the past the spirit of
Newport has been social, it's activities
have been the activities of society, and
in many ways il has been a social
model for the rest of America"
Mrs. French Vanderbilt is the au-
thority for this statement. She has
written for the October issue of Har-
per's Bazaar an article on the Red
Cross and other relief work in New
port.
Naturally, with such serious work
on all sides, the character of Newport
has changed completely, And the
cause for this change was the visit
of the "U-53." The people of New
port had to house and care for the vic
tins of this raider of the seas. They
were, however, not prepared for this
sort of thing, and on realizing it they
built up, without any loss of time, a
very efficient Red Cross organization
and now everyone is engaged in some
kind of war relief work.

GERMAN SUBMARINE
GETS ARMY TRANSPORT
With 81 Victims; 170 Sur
viVors and One Unac-
counted For.

The army transport Antilles. on re.
turn voyage to America under CONVOY
Of naval ships and destroyers, was hit
by torpedo from a German subma-
rine while in the war zone on Wednes-
day night the 18th inst. and sunk in
five minutes. The torpedo struck the
Antilles amidships and cut her in
twain. The Antilles carried 237 per-
sons, including officers and crew, and
army officers and soldiers returning
home on leave. The victims number
81, and one unaccounted for.
News of the disaster was published
IN the daily papers of last Saturday
and Monday, and all details were
made Known in accordance with prom
lse Of Washington authorities to let
people know the bad, as well as good
news.
None Of the conveying ships saw
the submarine, which disappeared af
ter the torpedo was fired.
Among the victims were MANY Am
erc&r soldiers. Some of them were
Iermsn-Americans enlisted against
their mother country. The list of vic
5Ims has been published, together with
heir home and their next of kin.
None of the men were from Florida.
But maybe this will help to arouse
,Iorida. The loss will make Uncle
SANS navy even more vigilant.
Awake. Let US avenge the lives of
he American soldiers who went down
With the Antilles!

The snappy weather of Wednesday

much for their country and there was

leave were Almon Mann of Mannville
and Oscar Beson Of Hollister who left
Friday for Camp Jackson and these
boys were supplied with comfort kits
by the local chapter. There are un-
limited calls over the country for
these kits as the baggage allowed
each soldier is limited, and some have
none, beside what they receive in the

PRESIDENT HUXLEY Of
STETSON UNIVERSITY
Makes Strong Appeal to
People to Buy Liberty
Loan Bonds.

In an appeal to the people Of Nolu
STA county to come to the rescue O
the government by purchasing Lib
erty Loan Bonds, Rev. Dr.. Lincoh
Hulley, President of John B. Stetsol
University, DeLand, says:
The Liberty Bonds give you a
chance to help your country with
out its costing you anything. On
those terms no one should hold
back. Germany has already won
the war. She holds Belgium,
Servia, Poland, part of France,
part of Russia, and has assimi-
lated into her imperial system,
Bulgaria and Turkey, which car
rles her into the far east. That
endangers Amerca. We must re-
verse that condition or we are
lost. All we have is lost. Our
wives and daughters are lost.
Our sons are lost. Our proper
ty, our money, all are lost.
We must reverse the condition.
10 do it we need four things
men, munitions, money and food
The Registration ard Selective
Draft Acts have provided the
men-our brothers, our sons,
from our cabins and homes of
every description, our flesh and
our blood, the boys we love. the
boys we have educated, the
young business men of hope and
fine possibilities. We also have
the munitions. Carnegie and Sch
wab, and the big manufacturing
plants, are turning out guns and
shells, rifles and bullets at a tre-
mendouS pace, but now we need
the money The Liberty Bonds
are issued under authority of
president Wilson and Congress.
They have the wealth of the
United States as security. They
pay interest. They will ALWAYS
have ready market. They are
good collateral IN borrowing
money. Uncle Sam doesn't ask
US to give our money. but to
lend it on good security. That
IS an investment. It is a chance
to help Uncle Sam without its
costing anything, and we get paid
for it in the bargain.
The poor people are not too
Door to buy small Bond. The
money raised will feed, not only
1ur own boys, but the French ard
English boys who are starving in
he trenches, and who will have
o surrender if we don't feed
hem; who must surrender if 4
hey have no money to buy guns B
md ammunition.
Uncle Sam will put this mon
y IN bank to the credit of the
Nations we loan it to. and thev
vii use it to buy from us pro-
'lslons. Hence, most of this
money from Liberty Bonds will
