The following prayer was impress
sively read by Mrs. Ellis. 1t will be
the official prayer of the Chapter dur
ing the war.
Look, o Lord, in mercy down
Upon those on battle ground;
Spare our boys upon the sea,
Low we bend imploring knee;
Keep them when they go to rest,
Grant to them what e'er is best:
Gran their battle may be won.
Yet, o Lord, Thy will be done.
Grant that when in mortal strife,
They may ever reverence life,
And II mercy they can show,
Grant it even to a foe;
Mercy in each soldiers heart,
Let it ever have a part
Where e'er on them shines you sun,
Bless them Lord. Thy will be done.
Ease the mothers aching heart
See her there, she weeps apart
Teach her, Lord, to seek They face,
Help her, Lord, and grant her grace;
May she ever turn to Thee,
Grant her, Lord, Thy grace to be
Brave as she would have her son;
Help her, Lord Thy will be done.
Bless the father, old and gray,
Who fought bravely in his day;
Grant that in his soldier boy
He may feel just pride, just Joy:
Give that boy Thy guiding light;
Grant that he may heed the right;
Help the father, keep the son;
Grant this, Lord. Thy will be done.
Look with pity on the wife
Who prays for the husbands life;
Let her strengthen him the while
With cherry word, a smile,
And II upon battle field
Calleth Thou his soul to yield,
To the love of Christ, the Son,
Let her turn. Thy will be done.
Lend Thy balm to ease the smart
OF the girlish, aching heart
That has bid fond adieu
Unto sweetheart, lover true:
Grant the love of Christ may heal
Wounds that tender heart may feel;
And as faithful as the sun
Let him prove. Thy will be done.
Guide, o Lord, our Ship of State,
Fix her destiny, her fate;
End, all end, the present strife,
Without useless loss of life;
But II blood should have to flow,
Prepare those brave souls to 60.
Let them not their duty shun;
Let us pray: Thy will DO done.

San Francisco, June 22.-Thc grass
hopper survey being carried on by the
Agricultural Department of the Uni
Iversity of California has progressed
far enough to permit the announce
mcnt to be made that in the greater
Fart of the state there will be no
grasshopper migrationa. The only
large infested area is in the northern
half of the Sacramento valley, and
the chronological forces, both state
end national, have been mobilized to
handle that situation
The survey has yet to investigate
some of the southern part of the San
Joaquin valley and the central and
southern coast region.
Elsewhere the only menace from
erasshoppcrs relates to those develop
ing along roadsides, ditch banks and
in alfalfa or other uncutivated fields.
There are three methods available fer
hopper control under these conditions
- the use of poison, Of hopperdozer5

Inc. The flame will enable one to
kill the hoppers along the bitches and
