Grasshopper Army Will Be
Large This Year

Minnesota is likely to have a great big
crop-if not bumper crop-of grasshop-
psrs this year, says A. G. Ruggles, state
entomologist, University farm, St. Paul.
Last fall conditions were favorable for the
hoppers and the signs this spring indicate
an unusually large number. Conditions
here are not very different from those in
Indiana, which reports that the insects are
very numerous and voracious. Complaints
have already been received from Norman
and Pope counties in Minnesota and Others
are expected.
The best way to fight the pests is by the
use of poison bran-mash spread broadcast
over the fields. This mash is made of Is
pounds of bran and one pound of paris
green, thoroughly mixed. To this is added
a mixture of two quarts of good cheap
molasses, six oranges which have been put
through meat grinder and two gallons of
water. the mixtures of molasses, oranges
and water being poured over the mixture of
bran and paris green and thoroughly
stirred. Fighting grasshoppers is not an
individual job. Farming communities as
units should get together and fight the
pests.
Grasshoppers are beginning their ravages
now. This is the time to fight them.-

Marion Davies in "The Belle of New
York." hve-reel Select Pictures Corpor-
alton release, was the photoplay in the
auditorium last Wednesday, June 25. II
was drama built up from the same old
story of the poor, struggling inventor mis-
placing his confidence in greedy, grasp
ing capitalist, the excitement resulting from
the discovery of the capitalists per6dy
costing him his life and reducing his
daughter to the necessity of earning her
own living. The daughter becomes a
noted actress and singer, falling in love
with the capitalists son; but being disap-
pointed in him, joins the Salvation Army,
where she becomes an angel of mercy
reverenced by all who come in contact
with her. She saves her lover from a
drunkard's fate and reforms him, forgiv-
ing his father, the capitalist, and every
thing ends lovely.
Miss Davies, besides being beautiful
woman. is good actress. but the same
cannot be said of the rest of the cast. The
leading man is weak and is worthy of but
passing notice. The man who plays the
capitalist looks and tries to act too much
like an old time buccaneer to measure up
to what our modern "buccaneers' are to-
day. However, the scenes and settings are
good, especially those of the cafe with its
miniature stage and chorus of pretty girls,
which is very pleasing and colorful.

Awake and Live!

Why mourn we for the golden prime
When our young souls were kindly, strong,
and true?
The soul is greater than all time,
1t changes not, but yet is ever new.
But that the soul is noble. we
Could never know what nobleness had been
Be what ye dream! and earth shall see
A greater greatness than she e'er hath seen.
All things are circular; the Past
Was given US to make the Future great;
And the void Future shall at last
Be the strong rudder of an after fate.
The meaning of all things in us
Yea, in the lives we give our souls-doth
lie;
Make. then, their meaning glorious
BY such a life as need not fear to die!
One seed contains another seed,
And that third, and so for evermore; ;
And promise of as great deed
Lies folded in the deed that went before.
So ask not fitting space or time,
Ye could not dream of things which could
not be;
Each day shall make the next sublime,
And Time be swallowed in Eternity.
God bless the Present! it is ALL;
1t has been Future. and it shall be Past;
Awake and live! thy strength recall,
And in one trinity unite them fast.
Action and Life-lo! here the key
Of all on earth that seemeth dark ane
wrong,
Win this-and, with it, freely ye
May enter that bright realm for which ye
long.

Only the Game Fish Swims
Up Stream

It's easy to drift as the current flows;
It's easy to move as the deep tide goes;
But answer comes when the breakers crash
And strike the soul with bitter lash.
When the goal ahead is an endless fight
Through sunless day and starless night,
Where the far call breaks on the sleeper s
dream,
"Only the game fish swims up stream.'
The spirit wanes where it knows no load;
The soul turns to it down the Easy Road
There's fun enough in the thrill and throb.
But Life in the main is an uphill job.
And it's better so, where the softer game
Leaves too much fat on weakened frame,
When the far call breaks on the sleeper s
dream,
"Only the game fish swims up stream
When the clouds bank in, and the soul
turns blue,
When Fate holds fast, and you can't break
through,
When trouble sweeps like tidal wave,
And Hope is ghost by an open grave,
You have reached the test in frame Of
mind
Where only the quitters fall behind,
Where the far call breaks on the sleeper:
dream,
"Only the game fish swims mp stream"

A Republic of the World

"A NSpOO1lC VI II1S WOIlQ
When our deathless Declaration
Brought new land into birth
1t was not alone nation
1t conferred upon the earth;
But it added to the glory
Of that fair, immortal page
The first chapters of the story
Of new and golden age.
Over this achievement real,
That the eyes of all might see,
1t erected an ideal
Of humanity made free;
1t set up for all the races
The same goal that it had won
And it bids them turn their faces
To the rising of the sun.
Since that time the generations
Of mankind are growing free.
While the progress of the nations
Keeps in step with Liberty;
New republics are the fashion,
Of our own design and plan,
Burning with the sacred passion
Of the brotherhood of man.
What though now the lands king
ridden
All are weltring in gore,
Freedoms light cannot be hidden
By the clouds and wrack of war;
For, from out its devastations,
A new flag may be unfurled
Of a Union of the nations,
A Republic of the World.
Herein lies the deeper meaning
Ofthe many in the one;
'Tis lesson for the cleaning
Of all lands beneath the sun.
Racial rivers coalescing
Here commingle and increase,
So all earth may find the blessing
Born of union and of peace.

GOLD-COIN SCALES A RELIC

dered the scales useless but it Is in as
good condition as Ii was when his
grandfather used II mt Cole Neck sixty
years ago.
AT the time b. r. Brereton set up his
little store at Cole Neck. just half
mile north of what is now Clifton City,
the pioneers were crossing the plains
in search for gold. Gold sweating
was common. Particles of gold dust
were removed from the coin so that
its value rather than its appearance
suffered. The merchant had to be con-
stantly on the lockout for underweight
coins when dealing with such class
Of trade.
A pair of scales was bought by Mr..
Brereton for this purpose A brass
weight was used in balancing the
scales to get the exact weight of the
coin. But the weight test was not the
only one applied A slot of varying
size Is In each receptacle on the scales.
The slots were for the 81, $3.50, So, S..
SO and $40 coins. Coins falling to fit
