 The grammatical construc-
 III the last line, after the com
 fs according to copy.1
 Tt baffles the understanding when one tries to follow the mental process es by which the chief of police ar rives at two such varied conclusions within a few days time. We admit that the psychology of it is beyond us If the\ chief was convinced that Officer Litk g was guilty of wrong doing; if hex was aware of the fact that the off Ter made it practice to be provoca ative in his attitude to- ward his sergeant, how in the world could be bring himself to put into writing a permanent record that Of ficer Litke "is worthy of any conf1- dence that may be reposed in him. ?
 The statement of the police com mission contains a report from the chief of police which proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that the head of the department was aware of the alleged offenses of Officer Litke, and yet he did not hesitate to furnish his subordinate with a document recom- mending his services to all ito whom it may concern. And then, as the crowning absurdity of all, the chief after furnishing Officer Litke with this splendid testimonial, turns about and recommends to the police com missioners that the resignation be accepted for the good of the serV- ice" What does that phrase mean? ion of his superiors, Officer Litke is a man without whose services the police department is better off. And
  police conscientiously recommend Of fcer Litlle as "a man of good charac- ter and habits"?
 We doubt very much if the chief of police would recommend to the police commission that man be ap- | pointed to his department who had l been labeled by another police de- l partment, or by any other depart 1 ment or private employer with the same stigma which he did not hesi- 1 tate to have attached to Officer Lit l ke's reputation.
 As a matter of fact, we do not think that the chief of police, nor the sergeant nor the police commission CTS were, or are today, of the opin- listed in this manner. We cannot 1 imagine that these gentlemen would I relish such action if +he case were re- versed and they were in MT. Litke's l place. We doubt very much that they | fully realized the injustice done to him. They seem to have overlooked the consequences of their act. Until that blot is removed from MT. Litke' $ official record, any man who engages 1 his services would be justified in dis 1 missing him as an undesirable em- ploye. And yet equally as perma- nent as the official record stands the recommendation of the chief of po- lice, commenting the censured officer to the services of all. Tn view of these facts, no intelligent person can reasonably attach any great import

K. The captain spoke with MT. @ Litke and told hin1y that he was
 automaticallg disSharging him
 self when he entered other em-
 ployment before his resignation
 had been passed upon. MT. Litke
 persisted and left the department
 on June 30 to take another posi-
 ton.
 Now if the police commission ap- proves of the action of the captain in telling MT. Litke that he was au- tomaticaIIy discharging himself when he entered other employment before his resignation had been passed up on", (and there is nothing in the off, cial published correspondence to in- dicate that the captains action was not approved), how could the police commission, on July 5, accept MT. Litke's resignation flor the good of the service, when, according to the foregoing statement, he had actually discharged himself automatically on June 30 by taking employment else where? little further on in the statement we read that NO hearing was considered necessary as MT. Lit ke was no longer a member of the department, having accepted another position. How, then, could the po- lice commission accept MT. Litlles resignation flor the good of the serv- ice" when it no longer recognized him as a member of the department? .? self from the police department on June 30, then the police commits sioners have no jurisdiction whatso- ever over him on any date thereafter. As one of the aldermen put it at the meeting last night, the board of po- lice commissioners had no right to "blacklist" a man, or attach stig- ma of any kind to his reputation, aft CT that man had placed himself be- yond the authority of the board.
 Again, we note the testimony of the sergeant in question, who goes on record as stating that MT. Litke had not been in the habit of receiving suggestions or instructions from him with good grace. The sergeant in question also asserted that
 He, (Of1cer Litke), made it g.
 practice to argue with him, and
 in general his bearing towards
 his superior was provocative.
 Did the sergeant prefer charges against Officer Litlle on these grounds? Have the commissioners ever received complaints to the effect that Officer Lit<e was guilty of in subordination In view of his oficia record, it cannot be concluded that this was done, as otherwise the board of police commissioners would have been compelled to censure Off cer Litke, or to suspend him if the evidence given by the sergeant wa. found to be substantiated by fact

Control the Cutworms

Raleigh, N. c., April 10 Every
grower of garden and field crops
or plants can materially increase
his food production this year by
saving those portions of his crops
which the cutworms destroy.
These cutworms are the cater
pillars Of many different kinds
of moths and are particularly
abundant in fields that have been
in sod for two or more years and
in fields that have been left COW
cred with weeds, especially chick.
weed, during the winter months.
Cutworms feed, for the most
part, at night and do the greatest
damage to- corn, cotton, tobacco,
cabbage, tomato and other plants
by cutting off the young plants
just above the ground. One cut
worm may cnt off many plants
in a single nights work. They
can generally be found in the
daytime curled up just beneath
the surface Of the soil and near
the base Of some plant.

one remedy that has been mos
successfully used in the control
