METHOD DISCOVERED TO
OVERCOME BOIL WEEvEL
PLAN is TO SPRAY THE PLANTS
WITH POISON AND HAS
PROVEN SUCCESSFUL.

Washington, July G,-lAs a result ol
several years OF test work in various
parts of the cotton belt by b. r. Coad,
an entomologist, control of the cotton
boil weevil seems to be in fair way
of accomplishment, says statement
tonight by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Since 1913, Mr..
Coad and corps of assistants, with
headquarters at Tallulah La, has
been experimenting with various
poisons applied in different ways with
the purpose OF administering a dose
that would be fatal to this particular
insect which has invaded such a large
part of the cotton growing territory,
Experiments also have been con-
Quoted in the north Delta in Chicot
county, near Lake Village, Ark, and
in Washington county, near Scott
Miss.
These entomolosists, says the state
ment have not finished their work
but they have proved by experiments
that the boil weeyil can be poisoned
under field conditions and that pois-
oning is a practical method of con-
trolling the pest. Results have shoHr
that yields of from $50 to LOCO
pounds more of seed cotton per acre
can be raised on sprayed areas thar
on unsprayed plats. Details of the ex-
periments now are being published il
department bulletin.

Csteopathy's Plea

Vermont has a special interest in
the drive being made by the osteo-
paths FOR equality of treatment in
war work because Senator Dilling-
ham has taken the lead in introducing
an osteopathic bill in the senate and
in the house the similar bill has been
referred to the military affairs COM
mittee, of which Frank L. Greene is
a member,
The osteopaths' plea is essentially
strong because it only asks equal
treatment for equal work.
OsteopaGhy has proved its especial
value in cases of shell shock and ner-
vous troubles and it's practitioners
ask only that present inequalities be
remedied.
While TIE army is using the ser
vices of such practitioners as come
within the draft, when it is making
special plea for medical practitioners
is it fair that man with D. 0
after his name should in practice b.
regarded rs ineligible for promotion
while those who have worked side b!
side with him receive commissions
Is this a time when the nation
should fail to make use of its trained
workers III any line Of activity what

Toad in the Garden Destroys
Many Insects During the Day

The toad is useful because of its
diet. No less than S3 species of in
sects, mostly injurious, have been
proved to enter into its dietary. In
his Civic Biology" George w. Hunter
says: A toad has been observed TO
snap up 12S flies in half an hour. Thus
at low estimate it could easily de-
stroy thousand insects during day
and do an immense service to the gar
den during the summer. 1t has been
estimated by Kirkland that q single
toad may, on account of the cutworns
which it kills, be worth $19.SS each
season it lives, if the damage done by
each cutwOrm be estimated at only
one cent. Toads also feed upon slugs
and other garden pests.-Popular

THE RHEIMS CELLAR SCHOOL

"The famous cellar schools of
Rheims are a striking example of the
feeling cf tic French people that the
war should interfere as little as posi-
BILE with the normal development Of
the nation. M. Octave Forsan, when
he decided to open schools in the cell
lars, made it clear to each teacher
how advisable it was for children IN
the town to have something of this
kind done for them, but he also told
them frankly of the risks they ran.
And yet III every case the scheme was
enthusiastically received. The schools
were really long underground pass
ages and the rooms were lighted with
oil lamps, the walls hung with mats
covered with a light paper, while
each teacher endeavored to bring
some cheerfulness to these 'cata-
combs by placing plants or flowers
on the wall, and erecting sheaves of
allied flags.
GAS for the children, it was for
them a glorious adventure, and IN
spite of living in the midst Of ruins
and under the constant threat OF
the German guns, they seem not in
the least affected by this. And yet
so near were some of the schools to
the German lines that, IN several
cases, the post office officials, 1o1
about a year after the first school
was opened, refused to send a post
office employee to these quarters to
deliver letters. Day after day, IN
spite of all this, the children came
regularly to school. Nothing was
neglected.; even the usual examlra-
tions were held, the result of which
is known as the Promotion du Bonn
bardement.' Although the schools
were occasionally hit by shells, no
child OF teacher has come to any hurt
for several months; and one IS glac
to know that the teachers Of Rheims
were specially mentioned not long
ago in government order of the
| day.'-Mark Meredith, in the Octo-
Der St. Nicholas.

Straight from the Shoulder

Can't Austria understand that we
mean what we say, and that nothing
but victory in this war will achieve
our purpose in it," Such is the COM
ment Of former President William
Howard Taft on Austria's impotent
plea for u peace conference. When
discussing the war situation MI. Taft
wastes 10 breath seeking rhetorical
effect. He says the only argument
the German people can understand at
this time is a blow between the eyes.
Mr.. Tart is of the militant breed and
would compel peace by armed force
rather than WOO it by honeyed
phrases. When the names of great
Americans ere written in the book OF
fate that of William Howard Taft
will be found not far from the top
of the first page. He will be listed
as one who loved his country better
than political office.-Los Angeles

If He Came Now

If he came now!
NY heart would be like once quiet

Hung with gay lanterns on fete
night, wild
With singing! And my heart would
be child
Sleepily waking to kiss, then fling
ing
Sleep from it, springing
With all too ready feet,
Out of the night, into the world
again,
And finding that its toys were all
once more
There where he left them, waiting on
the floor
To be played with again. My heart
would be
An opened book filled full of witch
cry,
Filled, too, with pain,
An opened book that had been left
too long
Upon q dusty shelf. 1t would be a
song
In young mouth. And it would
. be buds, too,
Opening under the moon, and SILVER
ing at the dew,
But liking it. And it would be a
fame,
Red in the night. l used to be glad
when he came,
But not so very glad-because l
thought
That l would always have him.
Then war caught
Him up from me, and bore him out
To be There danger is; and killed my
doubt,
My hesitation and half fears. All, how
I would TUT to welcome him, if he
came now!
