Poisoned bran bait has proved to be
simple. reliable and cheap method
Of destroying grasshoppers. II is made
up as follows: Wheat bran. twenty
Ave pounds: Paris green OF crude
arsenic, one pound; lemons or oranges,
six finely chopped fruits; low grade
molasses. such as refuse from sugar
factories, or cattle molasses. known as
black strap" two quarts; water. two
to four gallons. The bran and poison
are thoroughly linked while dry, the
chopped fruits are then added. and
lastly the molasses and water are
poured over the bait and the whole
thoroughly kneaded. A coarse faxed
bran Is most desirable. although where
this cannot be obtained easily ordinary
middlings or alfalfa meal may be sub
stituted. A low grade. strong smell
ing syrup or molasses is essential to
the entire success OF the undertaking.
Crushed ripe tomatoes, watermelons or
lines may be substituted for the lem
ons or oranges, If necessary.
Five to seven pounds Of the mixture
should be estimated for an acre.
In applying the poisoned bait in
orchards avoid distributing II close TO
the trees because severe injury to fruit
trees occasionally results from heavy
applications OF arsen!cals.
Apply the bait In the early morning.

LIVING COSTS SOAR
FIGURES SHOW WIDE MARGIN
OF LOSS TO WAGE FARMERS.
Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics
Gathers Some Interesting Data as
to Expense of Workers Home.

If worker, last year, raised wages
"a per cent, or from So to 1912 day,
for instance, the increased cost of
food that year would take away his in
crease, with nothing to meet higher
prices for rent, shoes, clothing, etc.
If the same worker raised wages 80
per cent, or from SO to S4.56 day be-
tween 1913 and 1917, the increased
cost of food during that period would
consume this gain, with nothing to
meet higher prices for rent, shoes,
clothing, etc.
The above suppositions are based
on food prices issued by the federal
bureau of labor statistics, and pub
lished in its Monthly Review, March
issue:
I'm the year from December Is,
1916, to December Is, 1917, prices of
food as a whole advanced "a per cent.
Potatoes and onions are the only arti-
cles that show a decline. Potatoes
decreased in price 10 per cent and
onions II per cent. The article show
ing the greatest increase is corn meal,
which was so per cent higher in De-
cember, 1917, than in December, 1916.
In this year, bacon increased 63 per
cent; pork chops, 50 per cent; beans,
80 per cent; milk and ham, 81 per
cent each; lard, % per cent; rice, 81
per cent; hens, 26 per cent; flour, %
per cent; eggs and bread, 20 per cent
each.
Food as a whole was 50 per cent
higher on December Is, 1917, than on
December Is, 1913, and so per cent
higher than on either December Is,
1914, or December 15, 1915. During
this four-year period corn meal ad-
cent; -four, los per cent; bacon, So
per cent; sugar, 76 per cent; pork
chops and potatoes, 81 per cent each;
ham, 64 per cent; milk, "A per cent;
butter, 81 per cent, and eggs, SO per
cent. No article declined in price"

THE LINDQUIST- -STRACHAN
MERCANTILE COMPANY.

For the past twenty years or more,
the Lindquist- -Strachan Mercantile
Company, composed of E. J. Lindquist,
A. r. Strachan and P. E. Anderson,
have maintained an excellent business
at 1717 Arapahoe street as importers
and jobbers of notions and specialties,
ladies' and mems furnishing goods,
and other features of the general dry
goods trade. In these peculiar lines
this is the leading and in some re-
spects exclusive wholesale concern in
the city. They handle goods to the
trade all over Colorado and the con-
tiguous territory of Denver's trade,
while selling also to Denver dealers,
for whom this house becomes a con-
venient and economical place of re-
cuperation and replenishment. In the
varied nature of their merchandise, as
to grade, style, quality and price, their
goods are in every way well adapted
to Western uses and TO the needs of
the working people.

PRIVATE sHIPYARDs LOSE OUT
Uncle Sam Refuses Longer To BE
Buncocd by Exploiters.

While excitable citizens are frenzied
because some one has told them that
labor is stacking in shipyards. Uncle
Sam continues his work of reaching
causes for delay. Last week he handed
$4,000, 900 to the emergency fleet cor
poration to house workers and now he
announces summary action against
mismanaged shipyards. Twenty-four
steel ship contracts have been can
celed and further cancellations are
under advisement. Inspection is be-
ing made of other inefficient yards
with view to Communicating them
and putting them under government
control.
1t is limited that the board has noti-
fed patriots that there will be no
more get-rich-quick schemes or Hog
Island shipping programs.
Since the passage of the 10000 900
appropriation by Congress for build
ing houses for shipyard workers, every
community near water deep enough to
float rowboat has come forward with
n patriotic offer from its prominent
citizens to let the government finance
shipyard, boom the town and build
houses.
Not one cent of the $50, ,000, 900, il is
said, will be spent except where ships
are being built and only then when all
other means to provide housing has
failed.

Christianity is not dependent upon
the infallibility of the church nor of
the Bible. The church and the Bible
nre simply means to an end, and
not an end in themselves. Their pur
pose is the revelation of God in Jesus
Christ.
Therefore, the chief question that
men are called upon to answer is not
what do you think of this doctrine. or
that church, or that system of the
ology. but what think ye of Christ ?"
Gladstone once said that this is the
greatest question of the age.
You might be asked: "What do you
think of Plato, or Socrates, or Shakes
pearc ?" and you would dismiss the
matter with an ofhand reply. But
this question asked of Christ, passes
into the most practical and the most
personal of questions: what shall /
do then with Jesus?" The question
becomes insistent. Men cannot get
away from it. 1t will follow them to
the ends of the earth. They may be-
come angry because of its presence,
but does not that prove that it is no
ordinary question? To dismiss 1t by
saying that Jesus Christ was simply
n great reformer will not satisfy. To
say that Pc was only n good man, or
tflht ilt WaS Eitat bht
ply one of many teachers, brings the
consciousness that one is only dodg
ing the issue.
1t is frequently stated that Christ
came to establish an ideal republic,
or that he sought to inaugurate Uto-
plan democracy. Neither statement is
true. His own words indicate that it
wns His purpose to establish nm abso-
Lutte monarchy, n kingdom, Of which
He should be the head. This kingdom
Is to embrace nll those who will ac-
knowledge His kinship.
Therefore. when some social reform
ers select from among the words of
Jesus Christ few catch-words, which
have to do only with certain social
affairs, rejecting everything else that
meets with their disapproval,. espe-
chilly that which applies to their per-
sonal lives, and then claim to be the
only bona fide followers Of Jesus

AN AMERICAN LABOR PARTY
From The Public, New York.

Zation in the political field. 1t is a
pitiful and deplorable inadequacy in
the American labor movement. The
rank and file are thinking. Scores of
leaders have evolved programs for
themselves and their unions. But
when we come to look for the political
cutting edge of the labor movement
we find only a little group of con-
gressmen whose efforts as a group
are limited to advancing the rela-
! lively trivial technical interests of
trades unionism. To study the work
of this group would be to come to the
conclusion that American wage earn
ers had no aspirations and no inter-
ests outside of the shop, and that even
there their interest stopped with the
obtaining of an eight-hour day, safety
appliances, and workmen's compensa-
ton Not single agency exists with
in the American labor movement for
changing the basic principles on which
property is owned and industry con-
Quoted. Wage earners as a class may
believe that coal and iron and copper
should be mined and sold to the ac-
count of the people. They may believe
that private ownership of land should
be limited by the theory of beneficial
use, and that monopoly in land or
natural resources should be abolished
They may, feel that the attack on Sec
retary Baker is inspired by profteers
and imperialists, and that now is the
time to say so in the name of labor
They might have felt last summer
and fall that Russia could have been
saved to the allies by manifestations
of sincere and cordial sympathy and
understanding; they may think and
believe many things in the course of
the next few pregnant years-things
that will need saying loudly in the
name of labor. There is no agency
for saying them.
! The fault and the failure cannot
be laid at the doors of existing agen-
cies. Administering the affairs of
: trades unionism is an intensely prac-
teal business job. A schedule of Mr..
Gompers' days in Washington would
probably show an impressive burden
| of details, each of vast Importance to
some particular trade, some large
group of organized workers. We can
not blame Mr.. Gompers for refusing
\ to add to his administrative duties
| that of voicing labor's views on every
| important issue as it arises, as Nh.
! Henderson voices the views of British
labor. We can blame him only if, in
the face of the need, ne either fails
{ 20 lnluate or dlScOurageS others In
initiating a new agency for express
ing labor's interests in the wider po-
litlcal and economic field.
The question is a serious one as to
whether American labor will be con-
tent with the present policy of the
Federation. Ferment and change are
going on thruout the world Ameri-
can wage earners will continue to re-
iect pacifist socialism and Bolshevik-
ism. But both will gain many re.
cruits among men who would prefer
to work with labor movement of the
British model, unless the American
Federation of Labor more adequately
meets the needs of the time. 1t mus
realize that all of the demand for &
more radical political and economic
policy does not emanate from pacifists
and impossibilists.
