Oh, what wonderful flag you are
Blue is your star in its field Of white,
Dipped in the red that was born Of fight
Born of the blood that our orebears shed
To raise your mother, The Flag, oerhead.
And now you've come, in this Erenzied day,
To speak from a window-to speak and say;
q am the voice Of a soldier son,
Gone to be gone till the victory's won.
II am the flag Of The Service, sir;
The flag of his mother--I speak for her
Who stands by my window and waits and fears,
But hides from the Others her unwept tears.
II am the flag Of the wives who wait
For the safe return of a marital mate
A mate gone forth where the war-god thrves,
To save from sacrifice other mems wives.

I crease in size and go through five molts
When they complete their feeding pc
riod, nothing is left OF the leaves but
the principal veins.
The larval period lasts about four or
five weeks then the caterpillars return
20 the bark, spin cOcoons and change
TO pupae. They remain in this con-
dition for two weeks and then emerge
as adults. Pairing now takes place, the
males die and the females deposit a
cluster OF eggs for the second brood.
Generally from three 10 five hundred
eggs are found in a single cluster. from
which If favorable conditions allow, as
many caterpillars may hatch.
The summer, however, is but half
over. Toward the end OF July, and the
beginning OF August, the eggs depos-
tied by the first brood hatch and the
young larvae go up on the leaves to
finish The work begun by their parents.
The cycle continues as befOre-the lar
val, pupal and adult condition. In Sep
temher the eggs are deposited on the
bark OF the tree, remain In that con-
.dition through the winter, and hatch
in the spring.
There have been many means n con-
troll worked out. but the easiest. quick
est and most effective method is TO eX-
terminate them while in the egg con-
ditiOn. The clusters are loosely at
tached 10 the bark, are very cOnspicu-
Gus, and are mostly on the trunks and
lower limbs where they can be re-
moved either by hand or by scraping
them OFF. After collecting, the egg
masses should be burned.
II the first brood Of caterpillars have
already hatched, the best way Of con-
trolling them is TO apply bands Of tam
glefoot around the tree. The outer bark
should be scraped smooth about three
inches wide and about four feet from
the ground. The tanglefoOt should. be
applied TO the smooth. scraped surface.
This is done to prevent the young cater
pillars from crawling up the tree 10
pupate. The tanglefoot preparation can
be purchased at any drug store.
Another way to control the tussOck
moth after the eggs have been hatched.
is to spray the foliage with a solution
OF arsenate Of lead which is composed
Of acetate Of lead ~ o. arcenate Of
soda u OF, water from IS to 20 gallons.
Pour The acetate OF lead into two quarts
OF wafer and the arsenate of soda into
another two quarts. Then pour these
two solutions into a tank containing IS
10 20 gallons OF water. Good chemicals |
should be used.

big influx Of people into Keokuk

The comparative freedom OF Keo-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Treasury
officials declared at noon that re-
ceipts would send the fourth Liberty
loan total to s3,6O0,0O0,0oO today.
This leaves s2,4OO,000,O00 to be raised
Friday and Saturday.
Business now in transit to the
federal reserve banks will reduce the
amount to be thus subscribed ma
terially officials said. In any case
the sum remaining is the most gigan-
tic requirement ever placed upon the
nation. Despite the greatly Increased
numbers of men now serving in the
nations military forces as compared
with the time of the third loan, there
are ample indications that the num-
Der of Individual subscribers in this
campaign will greatly exceed that OF
the third, when 100000 subscr1b-
ers were recorded.
From the employees Of the national
railways the government war chest
has received more than S1lO,OOO.OO0.

An Uncomfortable Union Of Peoples

New York World: There is great
and inspiring national fact wrapped
up in the little story sent out from
Liberty loan headquarters at Mime
apolis. 1t tells of German-born
farmer in South Dakota who asked Of
the loan committee of his town what
its quota was and on hearing that
the sum was $4,000 subscribed for
the whole amount. He said he had
a boy fighting in the American ranks
In France and wished to prove to him
that II am backing him up to the
limit" We believe that this act
fairly epitomizes the position of
very great majority of American citt-
zens of German birth as well as of
German antecedents. Whatever may
have been their attitude before the
United States entered the war, there
can be no question about their atti-
tude since. They are for the repub-
lie. Their names are to be found in
every American casualty list coming
from the front and they are spread
upon all the lists of money given and
money lent to back up those fighting
lines "to the limit" There Is some
thing more in this than the assurance
of a victorious prosecution of Amer
ica's war in Europe. There is the as
surance also of victorious issue to
Americas home problem, doubtful to
all the rest of the world, of perfect
union under one flag of many peoples
and customs and tongues

An excessive secretion from the

indicates a body literally reeking
