KILL CORN wEEv1Ls
Direction for Using Carbon Bi,
sulphide

One sound ear of corn is worth
two weevil eaten ones. As the Wee
wills can be so easily destroyed, A.
P. Spencer of the University of
Florida extension division says
there is no reason why so much
corn should be wasted by allowing
the weevils to help themselves all
during the winter,
Carbon bisulphide is the only
material required for fumigation
to kill weevils. Be sure that the
crib is as nearly air tight as pos
sible. The gas given off by the
chemical kills the weevils, and
this must not be allowed to es-
cape. The crib should be ceiled,
have a tight floor, and closely fit
ting windows and doors. The a.
mount of carbon bisulphide to use
depends on the size of the crib,
and not on the number of weevils
or the amount of corn in the crib.
The material evaporates readily
and forms heavy gas which pen
etrates downward through the
corn, killing all insect life. There
mush be sufficient gas formed to
fill the room, otherwise the air
will dilute the gas and the weevils
will not be killed. They must be
in contact with the gas 80 min
utes or more.
Use two pounds of carbon BIZ
sulphide for every 100 cubic feet
of space in the crib; that is, if
the inside dimensions of the crib
are 8x10x5, or 400 cubic feet,
eight pounds of carbon bisulphide
will be needed. If the crib is not
tight, increase the dose according
ly. The carbon bisulphide is
poured into open dishes and these
placed on top Of the pile of corn.
Repeat the operation in about
four to six weeks. One fumiga-
ton is usually not sufficient as
weevils will continue to hatch
from eggs not destroyed.
AS the carbon bisulphide gas is
highly infammable be sure lights
and fires of any kind are kept "a
way.
If the grain is thoroughly dry
and mature, this fumigation will
not injure the termination. When
corn is first placed in tight crib
it passes through a sweat, and the
treatment should not be applied
until after this heating stage is
passed, as the two gasses combin-
ed may injure the termination,
Carbon biSulphide is most eff
fective in warm air. For fumi-
eating, choose a warm day when
the temperature is rs degrees F.,
or higher.

PASSENGERS WERE CALM.

(By Review Leased Wire)
 VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 26.-Pas- sengers aboard the Sophia were calm short time before the steamer car ried them to their deaths, according to wireless message sent last night from the doomed vessel. The mes sage was sent by Capt. Locke to the Canadian Pacific railroad officials here. It was received this morning. Capts Locke said:
 Steamer Cedar and three Juneau gas boats standing by. Unable to take off passengers on account of strong northerly gale and big sea running The ship is hard and fast on the reef with her bottom badly damaged. She is not taking water. Unable to back off reef. Passengers are normal"
 Nearly all members Of the Sophia's crew were Canadians. Capt. Locke was on of the oldest navigators on the northern coast Capt Jerry Shaw was first officer, T. r. Gosse. second off cer. and A. Murphy, third officer All four resided in Victoria. A. Alexander of Vancouver was chief gunner.

 gogne wood is such that the Ger mans no longer are able to harass the Americans with machine gun fire from the ridge at the edge of the woods.
 In the center of the line west of the Mouse the German artillery is bomb ing the American lines heavily with high eXpolsive and gas shells. On the right the enemy made an unsuccess- ful counter attack during the night. From to o'clock this morning. they shelled the American lines there heay- fly. the bombardment at times reach. ed the intensity of a barrage. but there was no further infantry action.
 One new division and one new regi m mt have been identified as having been added to the German strength against the Americans. The division is a second class one which is re puted to have travelled more than any other in the German army. It has been successiyely on the eastern front, the Italian front, on the Som me and before St Mihiel. The regi- ment belongs to the crack 18th Ger
 
 man division.
 Violent enemy reactions continue east of the Mouse and there has been desperate fighting all along the line The American position now runs through the clearing between the Bel leau Wood and the Etraye wood. The enemys determination to hold the high ground east Of the river is showI: by the fact that he has thrown in one of his last remaining reserve divisions to check the American advance in the Belleau wood, where the enemy is comter-attacking consistently.
 The following document has been captured:
 "The enemy's crossing of the Mouse is to be prevented absolutely Should he succeed in crossing he is to be thrown back into the Mouse at once. The enemy must not get a foothold on this side of the Mouse under any circumstances"
 The last three words are capitalized.
 Not only in a defensive way, but the counter attacks the Germans are fight ing desperately to carry out this or der. This is shown by the futile at tac1s made Friday in the region south of Bantheville wood. north of Rappes wood and in the valley north of Fan theville.

grammes; solt meat 12O francs for 400
 grammes; salt 4francs for 200 grammes.
 German acquisitions on civilians were never ending They centered chiefly on clothes, brass. copper and | livestock All wool clothing and mat | tresses were requisitioned. except a small supply actually in use Linen also was taken. All brass and cop per articles were demanded shortly after the arrival of tn invaders. Sew ing machines and the like were called in Frequent searches were made to see that everything had been given up and persons defaulting were heay. fly fined. One woman, who had not delivered three chickens wasI fined 125 francs. Most of the horses were taken a year ago and only a few were left for the most urgent work. Early this month the remaining horses and aH other livestock were removed. The morale of the inhabitants appears Co have been splendid.
 Only in certain cases where pc cuniary gain was concerned. was any tendency to show good feeling ex- hibited by the German military. There were several instances of most devoted patriotism. One woman har- bored two escaped British prisoners and fed them and a friend of Her gave them a map. The men were captured and the address of the first woman was found on one of them. Both the women were arrested and were i'm prisoned for three months awaiting trial. They were fed on bread and water and were guarded by soldiers. One of them was released as the Brit ish soldiers would not identify her at the trial The other. whose name and address had been found on one of the British prisoners, was sentenced to five years Imprisonment in the peni- tentiary at Valenciennes. To the best knowledge of the correspondents in- formant. she still is in prison there. Two young Frenchmen aided two Brit ish soldiers to escape by giving them civilian clothing. The Frenchmen were caught and sentenced to one and one-half years solitary confinement each.
 On the whole, the civilians do not complain of the treatment they re- ceived at the hands of the Germans when the latter were left to them selves. All the suffering was caused by unnecessarily severe orders issued by the higher authorities. The male civilians were compelled to salute the German officers. The penalty for failure to do so was Imprisonment for a week on bread and water. This order was most strictly enforced.
 Circulation beyond the village was allowed only in most exceptional cases. A Bertry girl. found at Trois- villes nearby. was imprisoned for three weeks in a small cell with 25 others. During the last few days the enemy was at Bertry houses were pillaged and everything of value taken to the rear in lOrries.

JAPANESE ADMIRE NOTE

The reply is praised highly as deserving the most profound attention of all the belligerent nations fighting a common enemy, who is a deliberate transgressor of the cause of peace justice and humanity.
 President Wilson's note is consider ed to be fully comprehensive. His refusal to treat with the Prussian rulers of Germany. according to opin- ion here, is so explicitly and unmis- takably expressed as to arouse admi- ration worthy Of the leading champion of international justice. The reply is considered to be worth treasuring as Q most valuable addition to official war time correspondence.

 The enemy suffered heavy casual ties here.
 Counter attacks attempted north of Engelfontaine were easily repulsed. Maresches was heavily garrisoned by the enemy and the advance, at least temporarily, was held up here by a terrific machine gun fire from the town. In Vendegies, which was cap tured, the British found a well-con- cealed system of camouflaged trenches. The whole village was bar ricaded and wired and presented a formidable obstacle, which evidently was meant to be held.
 Yesterdays advance south of Valen- ciennes was rendered doubly hard by the extension of the flooded area. The British were forced to work around this There was hard fighting west of Condo, and according to latest re- ports the enemy was battling fiercely to hold this position with ring of forts.

STORM WAS TERRIFIC.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Oct 26.-Indi cative of the terrific storm which caused the steamer Princess Sophia to plunge from her rocky ledge on Vanderbilt reef into the waters of Lynn canal. were the statements made by officers of the Canadian Pacific steamer Amy, which returned from the scene of the wreck yester. day. The officers said two feet of snow fell in 40 hours and a strong northeast wind then blowing later developed into the blizzard which was responsible for the Sophia's heavy loss of life. When the Amy left the Sophia, that vessel was resting for about two-thirds of her length on the rocks of the reef, which is four miles west of Sentinel island and half way between Juneau and Skagway. The Sophia was then taking on water. She was surrounded by deep water, but with only her stern over deep water it was thought there was no danger of the steamer sliding off the rocks The reef was covered. how ever, at half tide and the heavy seas had prevented attempts to take off the passengers.
 The Sophia's only freight cargo is said to have consisted Of 40 horses

PUBLIC WARNED AGAINST CURES"

Vaccines and Other Hoped for Remedies Still in Experi, mental Stage, Says Our Government
Rv Review 1.ensed Wirel

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-Use of vaccines in combating or treating Spanish influenza has not gone be- yOnd the experimental stage so far as the United States public health service has been able to learn. In a statement tonight the public health service warned the public against any of the sure cures" being advocated for the malady. which, according to reports today. is rapidly subsiding in all army camps and is showing a les sening incidence in many states among the civilian population.
 Tt must be remembered" said Surgeon General Blue in a statement tonight, that several different vac cines are being tried. The reports received do not permit any cOnclu- sion whatsoever regarding the eff ciency of these vaccines or their rel ative merits. The public health serv- ice is watching the experiments care fully, but is not urging any form of vaccine treatment.
 "The health service urges the public to remember that there is specific cure for influenza and that many of the alleged "cures" and remedies be- ing recommended by neighbOrs, nos trum vendors and others do more harm than good. The chief rIliance must be on medical attention, good nursing, fresh air. nutritious food, plenty of water and cheerful sur rcundings.'
 Reports received tocay by the pub lie health service showed the epidemic 10 be subsiding in Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Wyoming and Utah.
 The reports received from army camps continued favorable today and Secretary Baker indicated his belief that the army medical authorities have the situation in hand. It was in- timated by the secretary that the epidemic will not further delay Inili- tary plans to any extent.
 The number of new cases of in- luenza reported from army camps to the surgeon general today numbered 1902, in comparison with 2,375 yes terday. Pneumonia cases decreased from 800 yesterday to 396 today. Deaths reported today were 209 in comparison with 241 yesterday. Only two camps. Cody. N.
