while they came TO a wooden house

asked the old gentleman rabbit, and
then he read the sign out loud. and I'm
glad he did, for you can hear what he
says:

Lets go in and have a nice bath,
said Billy Bunny, I'm all dirty" So
they went In. but the white cat only
got as far as the door, for who do
you suppose was the owner Of the
place? Why, Billy Bunny's old friend,
the Circus Elephant, and cats are
dreadfully afraid OF elephants, you
know, or perhaps you don't. but please
take my word for 1t. for If elephants are
afraid Of mice why shouldn't cats be
afraid of elephants I should like to
know?
Gracious me. but I'm glad to see
YOU" said the kind Circus Elephant.
Come right in and get a shower.
You know, people usually say, come
right In and get out of the shower"
and the elephant laughed at his Joke
and poked Uncle Lucky in the ribs
until the old gentleman rabbit
coughed.
Well pretty soon after Uncle Lucky
had taken off his stovepipe hat and
his gold watch, he was ready for his
shower, and in the next story you shall
hear how the old gentleman rabbit got

STOCK PARENTS.


American parents are always ready
to pick flaws in the public school
system but the number would be
grandly reduced If some parents would
seek with the same eagerness mistakes
in the home training OF their little
ones.
And the worst Of it is that every
body blames the poor child. He IL
called bad" and he endures pun
ishment which his elders really de-
serve because his madness" is mostly
the result OF their laziness. selfshness
or stupidity.
Parents who are slackers add big
sums to the cost of education. So here
is chance for patriotic mothers to
try a new kind Of wartime economy.
Help the teachers by raising children
who know how to behave in school
Then see that they do behave.

LOOK OUT FOR THE BLACK
BEETLE.

Be on the lookout for the black
beetle, which does such deadly work
among the asters. Don't let a day go
by without an inspection Of your
plants, for II he comes, and his pres
ence Is not discovered at once, he will
accomplish his fell purpose before you
are aware.
I have had plants ruined In a day
by the ravages Of this most destructive
creature. As soon as one Is discov-
cred, prepare an infusion Of soap and
kerosene after the following formula:
Soap. one-half pound and a teacupful
Of kerosene. ...0.
Shave the soap finely and pour hot
water over 1t. Set 1t on the stove to
become liquid. When melted, bring 1t
to boil, and add the kerosene. Stir
well until an emulsion results.
To one part of this emulsion add
ten parts Of water. Spray the plants
all over with the mixture. II this Is
used as soon as the first beetle puts in
an appearance 1t will generally prevent
others from coming.
II they do come It will soon rout
them, II you are persistent in Its use
and 1t Is applied literally. L. r.
The Raymer enterprise., 1917-06-28

temporarily, as 1t soon loses Its
strength, and they will return.
The insect powder must be showered
on the plant with the powder guh
which comes with the powder, and
fresh powder used every time this will
kill every bug 1t touches, but 1t must
touch the bug.
Earring the plant or vine will. cause
the beetles to drop instantly to the
ground, and they must be stamped or
beaten to death at once, or they will
make of rapidly, only to return In an
hour or SO.
Their season is July, August and the
first half Of September, and they are
voracious eaters, soon stripping the
plant. In appearance they are long,
slim, graylsh black, the grown ones be-
Ing an inch In length.
They soon ruin clematls, golden
glow and many other plants.

FIGHT INSECT PESTS ALWAYS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

For the little white fly. use sulpho-
tobacco soap according to the direc-
tons on the package. For rose bugs,
In the evening place two or three
ounces Of quassla-chips Ito be had of
the druggist) In pail. and All with
boiling water-two or three gallons, ac-
cording to size Of the pail. Let stand
until next morning, then apply the
liquid to the plant with garden
syringe, getting the tea on all sides Of
the foliage and stems. II the tea Is
applied hand-hot 1t will be more ef-
fective.
A strong soapsuds made Of any good
white soap, II applied quite warm, Is
discouraging to the bug population,
and is especially good" for the green
louise and the aphls.
Red spider affects the outdoor as
well as the indoor plants In droughty
weather, and Is usually found on
the under side Of the foliage, causing
the leaves to turn brown and to curl
at the edges. II badly affected, strip
the leaves from the plants and burn
them.
Rose plants will take no hurt from
this method. but some plants cannot
stand being deleaved, and must be
sponged with soapsuds, leaf by leaf,
hand-hot.
Frequent Swinging the whole plant
with clear water will keep down many
pests.
Asters suffer from root lice, which
invariably kill them In short time, II
undisturbed. These lice also attack
chrysanthemums. clematis and like
plants. Where these pests are at
work there will be ants also.
To destroy the lice, draw the soil
away from the roots and soak the
earth with a solution of good s0apy
water or tobacco tea.
The ants will leave, then the aphis
are killed.
Hand-picklng seems the only remedy
for the blister bug. and 1t must be at

Longorio was not the romantic figure
he had been; In his citizens clothes
he was only a dandifled Mexican gal
liant like any number Of others. The
color was gone from the picture; this
quixotic guerrilla hero. this elegant
Ruy Bias, was nothing more than a
tall, olive-skinned foreigner, whose ar
dor was distasteful. Longorio was

Jose Sanchez swears an Oath.
Jose Sanchez made use of the delay
at Pueblo to institute further inquiries
regarding his missing cousin. but no
where could he find the slightest trace.
Jose swore an oath that he would learn
the truth II 1t required his whole life-
time, and, II 1t should turn out that
his sainted relative had indeed met
with foul play-well! Jose told his
friends they could Judge, by looking at
him, the sort of man he was. He proud
ly displayed Longorio's revolver. and
called 1t his cousins little avenger. The
weapon had slain many 1t had a duty
still to perform, SO he said.
Jose intended to confide his purpose
to Mrs. Austin, but when 1t came time
to start for Las Palmas there was a
fourth passenger In the automobile,

for the moment. Alaire was In good

escaping from everything Mexican.
II haven't seen a newspaper for
ages, and / don't know what Is going
on at Jonesville or anywhere else" she
confded.
Dave told her of the latest develop
ments In the Mexican situation, Of
home happenings, and when she asked
him about his own d0lngs, he informed
her Of the affair which had brought
him to Pueblo.
OF course all three of his companions
were breathlessly interested in the
story Of Pine Garza's death; Dolores
and Jose did not allow word to
escape them.
"Caramba! It required bravery to
ride alone into that rincon," Jose de-
clared. II know Pine Cara well, and
he could shoot like the devil"
"You said your horse saved your
life," Mrs. Austin went on. "How do
you meant" When Dave had explained,
she cried, quickly. you weren't rid

"Yes. She's buried where she
dropped. I've been right lonesome
since she went away"
Alaire turned q quick glance upon
the speaker to find his face set and
his eyes miserable. Impulsively she
laid her hand upon his arm, saying:
Il know how you must feel. Do you
know what has always been my dear
