WAGE WAR ON eRAssHoPPERs
California Authorities Devising Ways
and Means to Protect Agricultur-
al Lands From Pest.

County horticultural commissioners
throughout California have been asked
to forward information on the grass
hopper pest reported prevalent in a
number of districts, particularly in
northern California, to George 81.
Hecke, state horticultural commits
sioner.
Fragmentary reports received at
Hecke's Office have indicated that
large swarms Of grssshoppers have
infested agricultural districts in SUIT
ter. Modoc Lassen, Butte and other
counties and have caused considerable
damage to crops.\
One of the best methods Of EXTERN
ination, an Official said, is the spread
ing of poisoned bran mash, which the
hoppers devour quickly. Burning Of
the grass also IS an effective means,
but the fire menace at this season
necessitates the exercise Of greatest
caution.
Narrowing, by which means the
eggs of the hoppers are brought to the
surface to be eaten by ants or other
insects and flooding the ground also
are advocated to prevent Matching.
The enforcement of laws for the
curbing of pests is vested in the coun.
ty horticultural commissioners, but in
cases where the menace to crops is
extensive the state commission COOP
crates in a concerted campaign Of ex-
termination, as was done this spring
when the statewide rodent drive was
conducted.

PRUNE COMES INTO ITS OWN
Has Won Official Recognition as Con.
lection Worthy of Being Served
to Fighs'ss Men.

In the piping times Of peace the
prune was the butt OF cheap wits and
the bane of the boarder. Now when
the acid test of utility and -palatabil-
ity is applied the despised prune steps
into the preferred class-at least on
the American army bill of fare. It
aas won it's way solely on it's own
merit. The counts in its favor are
food value, tonic value and value as
coafection. 1t nourishes, stimulates.
and delights.
The surgeon general of the army
himself testifies to the loyal and help
full support Of the once belittled fruit.
He has added his recommendation to
she approving report of the snbsist-
ence division. This report tells US that
out of the 1917 crop 100000 pounds
of prunes have been consumed BY our
lighting men. Based on size ffty-hve,
which is the trade designation of the
average prune, the total number con-
sumed would be 1,l00,000,O00. Placed
side by side it is quite possible that
this total of prunes wouldn't reach
from the American trenches to Berlin,
but each prune, no doubt, is doing its
best to help the Yankee fighters cover
the distance.
There would be a sort Of poetical
Justice in the circumstance If the
cheerful idiot and the other boarders
whose table wit fingered longest about
the patient prune could meet it over
there in Flanders and In Picardy and
fird it honored and extolled as the
food of fighting men.

cxclist in Spectacular Feat.

An army motorcyclist at one Of the
training camps recently averted the
death of young lieutenant by most
extraordinary feat Of heroism, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Racing
at high speed across rough ground, he
drove his machine into runaway
parachute that was dragging the Off
Ger to his death. The latter had made
q practice parachute jump Of 1000
feet from an observation balloon. A
high wind had carried him consider
able distance, and in landing he be-
came hopelessly entangled In the cord
age. The parachute was caught by a
strong air current and blown at terrific
speed acress the field, pulling its help
less prisoner with it. At the same In
slant the cyclist, passing along near
by motor road, saw the officers plight.
He swerved his machine into the field
and raced at top speed sQuareiy into
the middle of the bellied parachute
The ropes fouled the machine and the
weight of the latter anchored the dere'
LIT against further movement.

Washington Oct. l6.-Tonlsnt 5
news of Germany is everywhere re-
garded her as the shadow Of great
events being cast before them.
There is in Washington no official
word that the kaiser has aodicated; Or
that he has been overthrown; or thai
Germany is ready to accept all OF
President Wilson's terms. Officials
and diplomatists, cautious and con-
servative by nature and practice re-
gard with incredulity the intimations
that one or all of these things has
happencd Of course, they all hope
thew have: they all know that one or
all Of them are inevitable.
The official opinion in the capital
tonieht is that coming of these things
is timed only by the unknown degree
to which the German military power
has been broken. There may be more
information on that point in the chan
cellories of England, France and Italy
than there is in Washington.
When President Wilson's reply to
the German peace proffer went forth
Monday night it was predicted here
that if it did not bring a complete and
unconditional surrender of the mill
tarv autocracy the German people
themselves would force one, Presi-
dent Wilson's words were plain IN
vitation to the German people to take
such a step and intimated that there
would be/no peace with kaiserism.
The coming hours will show how the
leaven has worked. The. intimatlons
in today's dispatches from London,
Paris and Holland suggest the prog
ress of the ferment Most significant
of all is regarded the report from
Eolland by way of London that Ger
manv will Immediately reply to 'Presl-
dent Wilson accepting all his terms
and asking only guarantees for the
interests Of Germany and the German
people. When the reply does not
come President Wilson's only course
will be to forward it to the belliger-
en+c The guarantees for the interests
Of Germany and the German people
do not intervene as an obstacle i
guarantees are thought of in sincere
terms. If they are put forth as an
other vehicle for qufbble, an oppor-
tunity for diplomatic evasion and
trickery. or a negotiated peace they
will NEE only one reply.

many can not be expected to agree
to cessation of war while acts of
.nnumanity, spoilation and desolation
are being continued which they justly
,o,k upon with horror and with burn
ing hearts:
at is necessary, also IN order that
there may be no possibility of mis-
understanding that the president
should very solennly call the atten-
ton of the government of Germany
@ the language and plain intent OF
one Of the terms of peace which the
German government has now accept
ed. 1t is contained in the address of
the president delivered at Mount
Vernon ON the Fourth of July, last.
'It is as follows:
eThe destruction of every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately,
secretly and of its single choice, dis
+-rb the peace cf the world, or If 1t
can not be presently destroyed, at
least it's reduction to virtual impoten-
cy."
.sThe power which has hitherto con-
trolled the German nation is of the
sort here described. 1t is within the
choice Of the German nation to alter
it. The presidents words just quoted
naturally constitute a condition pre-
cedentt peace, if peace is to come
by the action of the German people
themselves. The president feels
bound to say that the whole process
Of peace will, in his judgment, depend
upon the defniteness and the salts
factor character of the guarantees
which can be given in this fundament-
al matter. It is indispensable that the
governments associated against Ger
many should know beyond a perad-
venture with whom they are dealing

Just what items the costs OF dis
tribution include depends upon the
method of distribution; but in gen
eral, most products pass through
the retailer to the consumer. This
path from the manufacturer to the
consumer might be called the chan
mel of distribution.
The effect OF advertising is to les
sen the resistance to the flow OF the
product through this channel. That
is. the advertising enables both the
iobber and the retailer to sell the
goods more easily and quickly and
in larger quantities and to turn their
stocks oftener, resulting in lower
costs Of selling.
This all works to the best inter
ests of the consumer-a lower retail
price.

MAKES FOR LOW
Err PRICES

Among the many forces tending
to raise the cost of living, it is en-
couraging to find one other whose
tendency is in the opposite direction.
Advertising is the friend of the
consumer. It tends to lower prices.
1t does this in two ways. By leading
to greater volume of sales, it makes
possible the economies of large scale
production, resulting in lower cost
of production per unit.
The second way is by reducing the
costs of distribution. A large ele-
ment in the total cost of most prod
ucts is the cost Of getting them from
the factory out into the hands OF
the final consumer.
