CUTWORMs.

When one finds young plants cut
off at the ground one can know that
Mr.. Cutworm has been around during
the night and had a feast and he will
be found in the soil about an inch deep
nearby. In transplanting wrap pa
per around the stems of the plants to
extend an inch above and an inch be-
low the surface of the soil. This will
protect plants from cutworms. s.
Lockwood of the N. d. Ayr. College
recommends poisoning by scattering
the following mixture on the ground in
the evening: Mix 8 OF. Paris green
with 4 pounds bran and to this add q
syrup made up of 1 pint blackstraI
molasses, finely chopped lemon, ant
2 quarts water. When to be used OF
a larger scale take 4 lbs. Paris greer
or white arsenic, 100 lbs. bran, 2 gal
Ions black strap molasses, IL finely
chopped lemons, and IL gallons water
The lemons and molasses are very at
tractive to the cutworm.

Glenburn Woman Seriously III.

Mrs. Bert Inks, wife of a farmer
living southeast of Glenburn, was
brot to Minot Sunday for treatment.
Mrs. Inks is suffering from mental
arrangement which it is hoped is but
temporary. She is the mother of
eight children, the youngest being a
babe of but four or five weeks old,
and this makes her case most pitiable.
Many friends of the family trust that
there will be an early improvement in
her condition.

that they had a common birthday.
Strange to say these gentlemen were
both born upon January Ooh, ever
so long ago. And this fact is taken
by their friends to account for the
reason of their being such poor whist
players. 49,

AFTER.wAR IMMIGRATION

TT HAS always been supposed that the
= end of the war would bring a sudden
Hood Of immigration from Europe. Cur
rent reports of various steamship corr
panies that they have more than 100000
foreign -born residents on their waiting lists
for passage abroad put a different color on
the matter, for the present at least.
y Nearly every new citizen OF the United
States has had friends in the war or near
the battlelines. And most of them have
been employed at good wages and are well
prepared to travel.
Europe has had a vast lot of advertising.
The work of millions OF men will be re-
quired in France and Belgium to restore
the damage done by the Germans. On the
whole. 1t appears that the great tide OF
Immigration to the United States may be
looked for not in the immediate future, but
In the course of year or two years after
economic balances have begun to settle.
The eager desire OF many former immi.
grants to get back to their native places
and the demand for labor in Europe make
IL appear that plans now under considera-
tion to shut out all immigration are a bit
panicky and extreme

OUR TROOPS IN RUSSIA

TN THE end when the final denouement
= comes in Russia. we probably shall learn
that the present uncomfortable plight OF
our own and Allied troops in that troubled
land was due to a last mistake of that
old-fashioned diplomacy which didn't cease
to function and blunder until the Peace
Conference vas well under way.
Newspaper readers will remember that
the expeditions we're launched amid grave
doubts. British, French and Japanese
diplomatists we're feryenty in favor OF il
President Wilson and his advisers con-
sistently opposed the move and reluc
tantly participated at the last The ac-
cumulated evidences in the case makes IL
appear that for once in his dealings with
Europe Mr.. Wilson was outwitted. The
expeditions were arranged and equipped
and the President appears to have per-
mitted American forces to be included only
TO preserve the outward signs Of general
unity.
The Allied and American soldiers are
menaced by superior forces and they are
compelled to retire at regular intervals in
defensive fighting. II even a partial recog-
milton Of the Bolsheviki is the price which
acivilization has to pay for one of the cul.
minating blunders OF its diplomatists, then
We have another reason for desiring a new
school OF statesmanship.

All oficialdom Is In a similar situation
today. The cost Of ignoring the public
desire for peace Of right, untainted as
much ~ Is humanity possible by the
high.handed selflshness which breeds wars,
is Of unthinkablc magnitude.
Mr.. Wilson knows this full well. He
peoples cause even as a politician. As a

but because Of the passionate determine.
