UNWRITTEN LAW MURDER CASE IS
 STIRRING LONDON
Characterised as "a Drama of Passion Most Sensa-
 tional in Years.

London, Sept. 10-Crowds. of curi- ous women and others clamored for admittance to Old Bailey this mori- ing when the trial of Lieut.. Douglas Malcolm for the murder of Anton Baumberg, pseudo count, began. The case, which has been characterized as "a drama of passion" is the first here in which "the unwritten law is ex- pected to be the sole defense, and is the most sensational in I ondon in many years.
 A coroner's jury returned a verdict of ''justifiable homicide" after hearing Lieut.. ,Malcolmn's plea that he killed Baumberg fin defense of his wife's honor."
 A confession by Malcolms wife. who is called great beauty, that she became attached to Baumberg while her husband was at the front, is ex- pected to play an important part in the trial, which probably will be con- cluded in two days.

Dr. Day Answers Query
 "Eow Can i Love God?"

How Can Love God?" was the subject of Dr. William Horace Days sermon at the United Congregational church yesterday morning He said. in part.
 What reason have we. to love God2 First of all, we should give thanks to Him for our creation and preservation and the blessings of life, and second because he supplies our daily necessities; the multitude of His mercies are past realizing or find- ing out. Back of the mercies of God we realize that God stands, but no less does he stand back of the disciplines of life. Many man is missing the great heart of life because he has not been. able, or has not been willing to discover that Gods greatest mercies are oft-times those that are discip linary and not those that seem to be comfortable. When the Lord loveth, He chasteneth.
 ; eff we ought to love God, how are we going to-, do it? Love always comes as the result of willing. We Go not love Him as we ought because we do not hold our will to that task. We can learn to love God by worship ping Him. Why have all the lead CTS of the ages insisted that people worship--because only in worship do men and women come to the realiza- ton of God which must always be the basis of our love of Him. We can love Him by learning to love Jesus Christ. Jesus told his disciples that when they saw him they saw the Father also. But the fundamental and the easiest way ought to be to learn to love one antther. How St. John joins these two things together the love of our brethren with the love of God.
 I've will to do a great many things in response to our ambition, the will to power, the will to pleasure, the win to success. the will to recognition, and seR-realization, but the greatest of them is the will to love.
 And so we bow reyerently of heart before God and we feel that solemn commandment coming down to us from the mountain-top: Thou shalt love the God thy Lord with, all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength

FUMIGATION

Fumigate the newly harvested beans with Carbon bisulphide. This can be done in a tight bin, box or bar rel. Three ounces of carbon bisul- ph1de is sufficient to fumigate five bushels of beans. It will require two or three pounds to one hundred bt- snels Of beans. Place the liquid in shallow pans on top of the seed. It evaporates quickly forming a poison ous gas, which being heavier than the air settles down around the beans. killing the weevils. The top may be covered with bags, blankets, and boards to make the barrel as tight as possible. Fumigate for ferty-eight hours. Then open and air out. As carbon bissu1phide does not evapor- ate quickly at low temperature, fumi- gation should be done when the tenn perature is above 60 degrees F.
