One pound of arsenic is mixed
dry with twenty-five pounds of bran.
| One-half gallon of low grade syrup
is mixed in three and one-half gallons
of water and to this is added one
half dozen lemons chopped fine. The
bran and arsenic are then wetted and
mixed with the solution after which
the mash is ready for use. This
mash should be scattered over the
ground just before night fall SO Il
will be moist and fresh for the insects
which comes to the surface and feed
at night.
This amount of the poison bait is
sufficient to treat four or five acres
tered in small Jumps and be as evenly
distributed as possible. 1t must be
borne in mind that this material is
deadly poison and will kill every
thing that eats it, The greatest
danger from its use is that of killing
song birds. Because Of this it is
best to harrow or rake the ground
early the following morning after
the poison has been distributed The
less vegetation there is on the ground
at the time of treating, the greater
will be the efficiency of the poison.
After plants are growing in the gar
den more than one application may be
necessary to kill the worms.
Don't make the mistake of plant
ing beans, cucumbers, corn and toma-
toes too early. The hardy vegetables
as peas, turnips, beets and cabbage
grow best at a rather low tempera-
ture hence should be in the ground
in April, but the first mentioned
vegetables do not grow we'll till the
weather has become steadily warm,
hence are best not put in the open
ground till May or even June.
Plants taken from the greenhouse or
hot bed should be we'll hardened off
before planting in the garden by
being exposed to the outside air for
a few days before setting, otherwise
they will receive a severe setback

MODEL SPEECH BY
FOUR Minute MAN
Delivered by Frederic J.
Haskin at Picture Theatre
in Washington, was Heard
by President and Mrs.
Wilson.

On the day the campaign for the
third liberty loan opened about 49,
600 four minute speakers through
out the country appeared in the
moving picture houses. 1t would be
difficult to over-estimate the value of
the service performed by this class OF
workers in the previous campaigns.
Few of the four minute men could
be so fortunate as to have among
their hearers the president of the
United States, yet that honor fell to
an employee of The Salt Lake Tri-
bune.
FREDERICK. Haskin, the correspond
ent had regular place on the bill at
Keith's theatre, in Washington,
which is attended each week by the
president and Mrs. Wilson. The
speech delivered by Mr.. Haskin to
his distinguished hearers has been
widely quoted, and 1t is reproduced
herewith:
Government Experiment.
When the United States govern
ment was founded there were grave
doubts as to its success.
The older nations called it 1.-The
great American experiment"
But in 142 years that have passed
since this nation was established
have been the most wonderful years
ever known to any government.
The three million people then are
a hundred million now.
The original thirteen states are
now forty-eight-and many of them
are more rich and powerful than
most of the European Kingdoms.
This government, the product of
five generations of Americans, is un-
the richest inheritance
ever handed down to any people.
Do you hink you really appreciate
how much your government actually
means to you?
Have you ever stopped to think
that during every moment of your
life, waking or sleeping, the vigilant
eye of Uncle Sam is always watching
over you?
Uncle Sam is Mighty.
He is the master of the biggest
business in the woodland it is your
business.
He has more might and majesty
than all the Kingdoms of history
and all this might and majesty is
yours.

Some Good Advice.

Don't think too much of your own
methods. Watch other peoples ways
and learn from them" This Is good
advice, especially when bilious or con-
stipated. You will find many people
who use Chamberlain's Tablets for
these ailments with the best results,
and will do well to follow their ex-
ample.

BEARINGS NEGLECTED ON MOST MOTOR
 VEHICLES

Among the minor mechanical parts of the modern motor car. the bearings are about the most efficient and hard working. In addition to the normal burdens that they are called upon to bear the bearings generally have to stand for a lamentable amount of pass
 i've abuse from the car owners It is not that said owner does them any ac
 tive injury but simply that he fails to give them the care they need to keep them performing their work as they should and will if given chance.
 Bearings may be divided into three main classes, plain, ball and roller, the names in themselves describing the types with considerable accuracy. These various types of bearings have fairly distinct fields of usefulness. The first class of plain bearings is used for engine crankshafts and connecting rods on practically every American motor vehicle In European practice ball bearings have been somewhat used for this service, but the idea has never gained a permanent place in American design. Modern plain bear ings consist of a cylinder open at both ends and split down the sides. The cylinder is usually of bronze compost tion with a lining of babbitt, a soft metal. on which the rotating shaft rests. The babbtt and bronze are locked together beyond danger of be-

Any environment which is conducive to vigor and the building up of . strong willed type of humanity is predisposed to the production of men who are ready to contend with problems. diff cultieS and obstruction of every kind When men of this type are faced with the problem of self-defense, protection of their homes and the maintenance of national integrity, such men will fight and fight hard, whether they eat meat or wheat, fish or flour, pobl- try or pumpkins ham or hay. So long as they are well nourished, strong willed and courageous they will fight when the occasion demands it. The use of raw meat would not make any one better fighter. unless it made him stronger and healthier, which is not to be expected. Besides, even if meat produced a certain irritability
 of temperament. which is a matter still open to argument. even then you must remember that irritability is not quality possessed necessarily pre- disposed to success in fighting Strength. speed and endurance are the vital qualities, whether one is vegeta- rian or carniVorouS

MACHINE PLANTS
 15,000 TREES A DAY
(American Contractor

(American Contractor)
 A machine which plants from 10000 to 15,000 forest tree seedlings a day is being used at the Letchworth park forest and arboretum, in Wyoming county. New York, according to off cials of the forest service who are act ing as advisers in the work. Previ- ously the planting has been done by hand at the rate of l 1,200 to 1,500 trees each day per man.
 The machine was designed to set out cabbage and tomato plants, but works equally well with trees. It is about the size of an ordinary moving ma chine and is operated by three men and two horses. One man drives the team while the other two handle the seedlings.
 The machine makes a furroW in which the trees are set at any desired distance, and an automatic device in dicates where they should be dropped. Two metal-tired wheels push and roll the dirt firmly down around the roots. This is very desirable feature, it is said, because the trees are apt to die if this is not well done. Two attach ments make it possible to place water and fertilizer at the roots of each seeding. Another attachment marks the line on which the next row of trees is to be planted

ticle vegetarians are said to be con scientious" .objectors not only to eat ing anything killed. but also to doing military service for the reason that such service might compel them to kill.
 The opinion has also been expressed by many writers that the warning ten dencies of the dominant races of Eu- rope and of the world were due largely to the eating of flesh, through some mystic and mysterious influence. What is the truth on the subject?
 In taking up a question of this kind one must abandon fanciful and un- founded theories and stick to cold, hard facts. What are the facts we want validity and not plausiblllty oI argument -
 The statement that the sheep is meek and mild tempered whereas the meat eating tiger is fierce and com bative has plausiblllty. But IL re quires analysis.
 Is if true that non-flesh eating anil mals are not cumulative? Certainly not. Anyone who knows anything about the hull moose knows that there IS no more dangerous animal in the world. He is a, vegetarian. Then there is the bull buffalo. Take even a deer, a pleasing animal, apparently Of swell disposition. Everyone knows that on occa sion a. couple of bucks will lock horns and fight to the death. me horse is essentially a working animal But the male is castrated to tame ms fiery nature. Considering the carnivorous anl- mals. the question arises. Is then cumulative tendency the result of then being highly specialized creatures 1T a certain direction. namely adapted tC secure their food through killing? Th' truth probably is that they are physl' ologically adapted to fighting on thl' account. They are temperamentall, nredisposed toward fighting througs l instinct. for their loving depends upoI it. It is natural selection. And ye even the dog. a carnivorous animal, l: usually a peaceful creature except ol the rare occasions that precipitat' fighting.
 Pusnacity upon analysis appears tt be the result of inherited temperament rather than of the character of one: food. You have a certain temperament You can change your diet ever s' much and you remain the same per son. Food, no matter what lnd l may be. simply furnishes the materia which you use in building up you tissues into the kind of an organism you are.
 As a matter of human and historica experience, some of the greatest fight CTS in the world have been vegetarians For instance, the army of Cyrus tn Great. The armies of Rome subsistei almost entirely on a frugal, meatles diet In later periods we need onl, cite the Turks. Bedouins. Arabs am other Mohammedans.

TORTOISE JAW OIL
 USED IN WATCHES
Scientific American.)

It is a curious thing that hardly one inventor in a thousand has any other conception of a torpedo than as an ir- strument of explosion which is set off by impact with resisting object How far the torpedo of childhood days-the little paper package of small pebbles and illuminate which only went off when thrown violently on the grounds responsible for this mo- tion it is impossible to say. As a mat ter of fact, torpedo doesn't need to hit anything nose-on to explode If it's course is suddenly arrested it blows up just the same as if it had struck.
 Catching a torpedo in net, suppos- ing it could be done would not save the vessel spreading the net, unless, indeed. the net were a considerable distance from the hull. Stopping the torpedo by a wire or steel rod net work would help not at all. Water is so solid and resisting a medium, as far as an explosive blow is concerned, that the explosion of a torpedo any where near the vessel will wrack it's plates open almost as well as if the explosive were in contact with the plates.
 Now. it is not contended that it is impossible to protect a merchant yes oti oN SuSptlUtO StitcllS VI SOilit SUI |. But so far no such suggestions have been thought practical by either navy department or naval consulting board

kerosene and blown clear with com pressed air.
 The last class of bearings is the roller bearing, which substitutes rows of steel rollers for the balls of the other sort. There are two main divi- sions of roller bearins. straight roller and tapered roller. Roller bearings have the same general subdivisions as ball bearings There are radial roller bearings and thrust roller bearings and combinations of the two.
 The principal advantage of the roller bearing is it's enormous carrying ca pacity. Practically all cars use roller bearings in wheel and axle assemblies. Roller bearings need practically the same attention and care, the same cleanliness and fabrication that the ball bearing demands. Replacement of q single worn roller should never be made, a new set being needed to main- tain the accuracy of the part.
 The care demanded by the bearings is really so simple and the function of these parts is so vitally necessary to the proper running of the car, that surely no owner will begrudge the brief time and small amount of trou- ble needed to keep the bearings in the best possible condition.
