LONDON AMERICANS SUR
PRISED WHEN TOLD OF

London, June Correspond
ence) MANY Americans in London
were surprised and disappointed
when they learned that. when the
United States entered the war, they
were not automatically relieved of
the necessity of observing the Brit
ish police regulations affecting aliens.
This is especially true of the Amer
leans who have arrived here since
the early part of 1916. These must
report their movements to the au-
thorities just as all other aliens,
whether allies or neutrals, are re-
quired to do.
There is a considerable amount of
red tape involved in the police reg
ulations and, no sooner had the Unit
ed States thrown in it's lot on the
side of the entente allies, than many
Americans got the impression that
they would be relieved of this war
time necessity. When they found
out that their status in this respect
remained unchanged by the turn of
events many of them appealed to the
United States embassy and consulate
for further information. They were
told that there was no indication of
any change.

matrimonial confidence game that
has been victimizing women in all

Prepare For Winter

October is a good month to re,
pair the buildings and get them in
good shape for, winter use. This
is specially true of sheds, barns
feed lots, and other buildings used
by live stock.
The farm equipment of machin-
cry, tools, etc, also should be look
ed after. Proper protection from
the weather, a little paint to pre-
vent the rotting of wood and some
heavy grease or paint to prevent
the rusting of iron and steel parts
will make the tools last longer.

Boil Weevil.

Iu all cotton sections where the
boil weevil is present farmers
should gather the cotton crop as
rapidly as possible in order that
the fields may be cleaned up and
the stalks destroyed a considera-
BILE period before frost. Early de
struction of stalks saves two pur-
poses Sit destroys the food of the
fall crop of weevils and it destroys
the alternating places. Where
possible cut the stalks after the
crop is harvested and pillow them
under, making sure to cover all
the stalks completely. If the farm
er has not sufficient team power to
do this the safest plan is to burn
the stalks.

Potatoes, Irish and sweet, should
be used freely when plentiful, be-
cause they are useful vegetables
for many purposes. They can be
grown in almost all sections of the
country, and hence need not be
transported long distances; and
furthermore. since they contain
much starch, or it's equivalent
they make the place of grains,
which bear shipment better and
are less bulky.
