THE DEVIL CITES SCRIPTURE.

Shakespeare says that the devil
can cite scripture for his purpose.
So, too, can Senator LaFollette
quote Webster and Clay and Calhoun
and Sumner in defense of his alleged
right to assail the policy of the gov
eminent.
Meme of those real statesmen whose
words LaFollette is so glibly using

security, and nothing that they said

side the parlous period, can possibly

LaFollette's pro-German propens-
tiles have been sticking out for a long

literally unfolding the atrocious pol?
ices of the Kaiser and in giving aid,
comfort and actual assistance to the
propaganda of the enemy, is most rep
rehensible. 1t may not come within
the strict, technical definition of trea-

and we should make the most of it.
Lorimer was expelled from the Unit

BICYCLE DAYS AGAIN.

Pictures of scenes of the European
war operations show that the bicycle
is commonly used by all of the armies.
Hundreds of scouts are mounted on
the ordinary bicycle, while the dis
patch bearers usually travel on motor
cycles.
Fer that matter, bicycles are almost
as popular in France, England and
Germany as they ever We're Par
tieularly in the former country are
they still numerous.
But in the United States the bicycle
is fast losing ground. This is indicat-
ed by the fact that sixteen years ago
the annual output was in excess Of L
million one hundred thousand while
last year only two hundred thousand
were made. The value of the years
manufacture in 1899 was about twenty
three million, The valuation of last
years production of bicycles was only
three million
On the other hand about twenty
thousand motorcycles were made in
this country last year, with a valuation
Of nearly five million dollars.
When the old fashioned, high seat
ed bicycle gave away to the one of
modern type, the Rambler or the Vic
or for instance, bicycle riding became
national fad. Men, women and
children had wheels" The Youngsters
priced them above all other Christmas
gifts, and no young woman was ac-

OF us who sincerely wish that they
were back again, just for time.
However, there are some commun-
tiles where the bicycle is much used
as utility vehicle, being adopted for
purposes of convenience, rather than
for pleasure. This is notably true
IN Americas, where the bicycle finds

THE MASTERY OF THE SEA.

One aspect of this great war is
that it is battle royal for the mast
cry of the sea.

England, had an appreciation of
the worth of naval superiority

Whosoever commands the sea
commands the trade; whatsoever
commands the trade of the world
commands the riches of the
world, and, in consequence, the
the world itself.

sion as well as expansion of power
and domain. And there the conflict

THE OLD STORY OVER AGAIN.

Childhood never changes. Ii is the
same everywhere, all the time. Wei
are forcibly reminded of this now by
the eager and impatient anticipation
with which the younger folks await
the coming of the circus.
Do you remember the time when you
thought going to the circus was one of
the greatest joys the fall season an
nually brought?
You were going to see that parade
if you had to play hockey from school,
and if you were boy you followed
as close as you could behind the cal
iope or the clown in the donkey cart.
In those days the steam piano" was
regarded as one of the most wonder
full of all musical inventions the
louder and more shrilly it screeched
and footed sweeter the music was!
If your parents were lenient, you
were permitted to arise before day
break and hurry to the railroad sta
ton to watch the unloading of the
elephants. There you found motley
crowd of other excited youths, some
of them barefooted and nearly all of
them shivering in the cool of an
autumn dawn. You looked with awe at
the ponderous elephants as they, in
SPITE of their bulk, deftly walked
down the plank out of the car, and
you longed to peer within those clos
ed wagons whose decorations sug
geste that confined within there might
be fierce denizens of the jungle. If
you managed to slip away from
school, or didn't go at all, you soon

| it was to watch the erection of the
monster tents Possibly you were given
ticket for bringing water to the
camels, or to the elephants, who
splashed more on the gound than
they sucked up their trunks.
That afternoon you were undecided
whether to take the half dollar your
father had begrudipgly given you and
buy ticket to the big show or to
spend it on seeing the side-shows
Perhaps you did the latter, and when
you emerged you were a bitterly dis
appointed boy, and you hung around
the entrance to the main tent, sick
ened by every crash of the band and
wishing that the big policeman and
the ticket-taker would look the other
way long enough to enable you to slip
in You dn'tconfess when you went
home to supper that you had missed
1.-THE real circus, and that night, if
mother would be cajoled out of another
half-dollar and daddy satisfied into
letting you go again, you went to the
circus-this time to the real thing.
On, it was great then, and it was so
different from what it is now OF
course, you're going again-not that
you care anything about circuses, but
you know, but somebody's got to go
t. take the kids The clown were
funnier then, the trapezists more dar-
ing. the acrobats more startling, the
animals larger and fieroer-even the
peanuts and the red lemonade and
the popcorn tasted different then At
least you think so.
Yes, the circus is coming and welll
ali be there old folks and young folks
alike. 1t has fascination for us all!
And if your children want to go, send
them-take them-see that they get
there! Remember your own child

HINTS ON PROPER SPRAYING
Buy Paris Green In Original Package,
Guaranteed Pure--Arsenate Of
Lead is Also Popular.

In the use of paris green to kill in
sects the right proportions are one
and half pounds Of the poison to one
pound of fresh lime and 200 gallons Of
water. But note in using this that II
must be kept stirred, else the poison
viii settle, as II Is heavier than water.
Buy the green in the original pack
age, guaranteed pure. In this formula
the lime is used to overcome the caus-
tic poison which might otherwise in
jure foliage.
For fungous troubles add to this
same mixture six or eight pounds of
copper sulphate or bluestone. The
bluestone is always to be dissolved in
water in n separate vessel and not
mixed with the limewater until just
before using. The bluestOne Is best
dissolved by inclosing in a burlap sack
and suspending it In the water
Another poison largely used instead
of paris green is arsenate of lead. This
has some advantages over the other.
II remains in solution longer, It ad.
heres TO the foliage better and there
is less danger of injury to the foliage.
Two pounds Of the arsenate to fifty
gallons of water is the right proper
ton. This may be added to the bOr-
deaux mixture also.
A substitute for the bordeaux is the
lime-sulphur solution, and some fruit
men prefer this when the trees are dor
mant.
This is doubtless the best treatment
for scales and all sucking insects. The
lime-sulphur is a commercial article
and may be bought in all sized pack
ages up to barrel size. One gallon Of
this to eight of water is the proper
mixture, but does not apply to growing
plants. Arsenate of lead may be add
ed If a poison is desired.
