Lizards and Toads Wanted

Lizards and toads by the thousands
IRE being sought and employed in the
production Of sugar cane in the
Vest Indian Islands. They have
proved to be the best means for COM
oating the froghoppers which have
ong infested the cane fields and
greatly curtailed the sugar crops,
A few years ago so great had be-
come the damage to the cane by the
loppers that entomologists and my
;ologists were called upon to study
he situation and advise methods to
prevent tho destruction which had
caused the loss Of thousands of dol
ars annually to the sugar growers.
A remedy was quickly discovered. In
he districts badly infested by the
froghoppers there was an almost to-
al absence of lizards, frogs and toads
TO introduce these creatures ard to
encourage their increase was obvious
ly necessary to save the sugar crops.
Lizards were obtained from other
Darts and liberated in the cane fields
With the result that the froghoppers
have almost disappeared, the canes
are fourishing and the sugar yield
has largely increased in quantity and
improved in quality.
On the island of Trinidad there is
Today a veritable lizard farm which

WILL TRAIN THE
RURAL MINISTER'S
New Work of the Methodist Church
Among the Clergy

New York, Oct 24-To help make
farming profitable and rural life en-
durable for the farmer, his wife, his
sons and daughters, the Methodist
Episcopal church has undertaken to
spend $5,500,000 in training rural
ministers to teach scientific farming
and develop social activity in country
districts. The purpose as announced
by the Board Of Home Missions and
Church Extension is to keep the far
mers on the farms and thus help to
win the war.
Dissatisfaction with country life, it
is declared, has caused a decrease of
rural population in Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa, Missouri, Vermont and New
Hampshire. The boys and girls will
not stay on the farm when high wag-
es are to be earned nearer the NOV
ing picture theatres.
To combat this, the Methodist
church is planning to send many Of
its best men to the country churches,
of which it has upward Of 10000. Ru-
raj pastors are to have special train
ing in agriculture so as to help farm
ers wit hadvice Demonstration farms
are to be established where agricul-
tural colleges do not meet the needs.
Associations OF rural ministers to
put these plans into effect already
have been started in Ohio, West Viz
ginia, Iowa, South Dakota, Pennsyl-
vania and Nebraska. Chairs of Ru-
raj Sociology to teach how to be
happy though living on a farm have
been established in theological SEM
ers with advice. Demonstration farms
similar courses in colleges.

center is used as a point from which
% distribute literature, to organize
he work so members Of the commun-

home-demonstration agent, OF of
others qualified, learn of the different
ways in which the Government asks
thrift to be observed, and to make

Vladivostok, Sept. 10, (Correspon-

mands upon the Young Mems Chris
tan Association secretaries who are
accompanying the Entente nations in
their expedition against the Blshe-
wiki in Siberia have been so great
that they have been compelled to en-
list in Y. NJ, C A. service the con-
valescing Czechs and to utilize the
volunteer service Of several Of the
Stevens railway corps from the Unit
ed States. Virtually all the Y. NJ. C.
A. secretaries have been working Is
hours a da.-.
Instead Of easy march throughout
the country, the Allied expedition de-
veloped into a fight mile by mile.
First aid supplies were more pressing
needs than were Photographs, games
and athletic equipment. The demand
upon the Y. NJ c. A. canteen service
were so great that supplies which or
dinarily would have lasted Q month
were exhausted in a week. Cars have
been sent with each contingent Of
troops to the furthest possible limit
and from them have been distribut-
ed free in times of stress, hot tea
coffee, cigarettes, tobacco, chocolate
biscuits, sausage, and other useful
supplies.
This service is becoming indispen-
sable to the men in the field. The
Japanese soldiers appear to be as full
ly appreciat4ve as their western broth
ers. A report by Secretary HealC
says:
"By 400 a. m. Japanese soldiers
come knocking on the doors of the
cars and nc refusal to open Guiets
them. There is no chance for The
secretary in charge to sleep after they
begin until the days work is over anc
that is rarely before one the nex1
morning. Secretaries find it impos
sible to get more than three to fou1
hours sleep nightly. To undress is {
novelty and food goes uneaten be
cause they cannot steal time to eat.
A refrigerator car service has beer
added recently. Thirty minutes af
ter the doors were opened, in tn
first instance, $500 bottles of COLI
soft drinks had been sold to an,

CHINA'S NEW RULER
An Experienced Statesman of the

Pekin, Oct. 24-Hsu Shih-chang,
China's new president, is a man to
whom most Chinese can look up to as
an experienced statesman of the
Manchu days. Moreover, he has
great literary achievements which
his couatrymen admire, and is d
peaccmakcr to such an extent that
even the rump Parliament function
ing at Carton may also elect him
President. He has the added quail
fications IF not being a military man.
1t is not expected, however, that
