ARMY WORM OUTBREAKS

The Missouri College of Agricul-
ture is receiving complaints of army
worms in wheat, alfalfa and other
crops. The complaints are coming
from several different localities which
seems to show that the pest is rather
widely distributed. In some cases it is
beginning to migrate.
To control the pest, saps L. Hase-
man of the University of Missouri,
College of Agriculture, use the same
poison bran-mash which was recon-
mended last year for grasshoppers and
cut worms. Mix dry fifty pounds of
bran and two pounds of white arsenic
or Paris Green and then moisten with
a solution containing four quarts of
blackstrap molasses, the juice and
CHOPPED up rinds Of twelve lemons and
about eight gallons of water. The
mash should be just moist enough that
a few drops of water can be squeezed
from handful of it.
Distribute the mash broadcast where
the pest is scattered all over fields or
distribute it in strips in front of the
migrating worms where they are on
the move. On cloudy days it may be
distributed at any time but on hot clear
days distribute it either early in the
morning or late in the evening so that
the worms will feed on it before it
dries out too much.
The grasshoppers are also abundant
in places in spite of the excessive
rainfall of the past weeys and the
same mash should be used to destroy
the young hoppers before they do fur
ther damage and get ready to migrate
to cultivated fields.

A Provident Janitor,

When George p. Adams, one of the
organizers for Missouri In the War
Savings Organization, went to Mo
berly to organize War Savings socie
ties he was discouraged when he
sought to create society in one o.
the big shoe factories. Work had no
been steady. and the high cost of Iiv
ing were excuses given. But Adams
did not give up. He made talk, the
society was organized and janitol
who was an interested spectator
bought S400 worth OF War Savings
Stamps on the spot.

SAVING BEATS EARNING;

II Esau and Jacob, who lived some

every day and had saved 1t all, he
would have $21,s0O,OO On the other
hand, If Jacob had deposited 81 at !
per cent interest, compounded every
100 years, he would have today $576,.

out how much Jacob would have had
he purchased one SIS War Savings
Stamp then, which pays interest at the
rate of per cent, compounded four
times every year?
There is. an idea in all this: How
much would every child have il Its

WHAT ALL MEN WANT

What the blind want" says q de-
voted friend of the blind, who by the
way is blind himself, sis not pity, but
understanding, not resignation, but
independence. Don't think of these
men as blind. Just think of them as
normal men that cannot see. Give a
man something to do. That is all
that makes happiness in life, whether
a man has all his senses or only o
few. Release the creative impulse,
the creative energy, let him know
that he can and is accomplishing
something, and he Is fixed"
The marvellous success which Is
crowning the work among the blind
soldiers, is due to the recognition of
just those principles. Every task that
a blind man might try is tried, and it
has been found possible to extend
their range to multitude of employ
ments which until recently had been
considered impossible. The result is
marvellous independence of their
blindness, and progres, in spite of
their handicaps, which proves the wis
dom of the theory. And so blind men
in these days are happy, just because
they have been given something to
do and are doing it-because they
have resumed their place among the
producers of the world.
And truly enough, this is all that
anybody needs to make him happy.
The worker whose hours are filed
with labor suited to his powers has
no time for unhappiness, for crime,
for unrest.
Whether man be halt or blind, or
in full possession of all his faculties,
he is happy exactly in proportion as
he uses what he has to set the world
further upon its way.

you more than what you work to get"

\ NEW ARABIAN KNIGHT.

Another chapter to Arabian Nights Is unfolding. From Arabia, land of the desert, birthplace of Mo hammed, comes Prince F'eisaI, son of Fl Hussain ibn Ali, king of Hedjaz- not in search of a, beautiful damsel to be rescued, but to settle state affairs.
 For Arabia wants to be the young est independent state in Asia"
 Fired by the spirit of govern ment, Arabia wants to set up its own kingdom, and, above all, to be freed from the hated despotisrn of Turkey, the rule of a, meagre three thousand Turkish officials over three and a half millions of sons of the desert. The Arabs have never borne Turk ish supremacy with neekness. In the eighteenth century they won an inde- pendence which lasted for a hundred years, and as late as 1906 there oc- cured an Arab uprising so serious that 1t drew 1OO,0 Turkish soldiers into the field.
 And while Turkish military success was at its height in the great war, Arabia bravely commenced hostili- ties. Her soldiers fought side by side with English Tommies, and the Brit ish recognized her independence. In the last offensive they not only took 40, 900 prisoners but by a rapid march cut off the Turkish line of retreat, enabling tho British to capture TO, 900 more,
 Prince FeisaI, delegate for Arabia, to the Peace Conference, voices the hopes and ambitions of not only He'd jag but of the other provinces of Arabta-Yeme Nejd, Syria, and up per and lower NIesoPotamia. Their dream is a great federation of all Arab states from the Red Sea, to the Persian Gulf-free from Turkish do- n1inton and possibly under the pro- lection of the United States.
 'tThe youngest independent state in Asia will be self-supporting," says tho Prince of Hedjaz proudly. Arabia has large quantities of copper, iron mineral oils, and a little coal. With irrigation much of our desert land can be changed to fertile farming country
 Disowning the leadership Of the Ca1iph of Constantinople, spiritual head of the Mohammedans, Prince Feisal from Arabia, the cradle of Islam, is turning toward a western civiIiza ton, a Christian country. ''We have complete faith in America" he says. "At this moment the eyes of the whole East are turned toward her. It is up to her now to show that our faith is not mispIaced.''
 The new chapter in Arabian Nights may mean a new era in the fight of Christianity against Moham- mechanism

WHAT YOU GAN DO TO MAKE YOUR
 SUMMER GARDEN A BEAUTY SPOT

have been developed in the hardy hrysanthemums. Our native wild asters would be considered thing of great beauty if they were not so common. Few people realize that a wide range of shades of color can now be obtained in plants equally as hardy as the native asters among the new varieties which have been developed within the last few years.
 The Oriental peoples, with their enormous flowers and brilliant hues, are, perhaps, the most striking of all the perenniaIs; they come into bloom in summer between the spring and fall flowers mentioned above. There has recently been developed 6, white form of the Oriental poppy which is tremendously effective when used to- gether with the older scarlet and orange colored varieties making a very intense contrast. The Tritoma, more commonly known as torch lily or flame flower is not used as gener- ally as it deserves to be. The older varieties do not flower until late in the fall. Some of the new sorts begin towering quite early in the season. 4 few plants scattered through the hardy border wgI gfven up tho whole effect through late summer and fall.
 Very often there 1s occasion to screen some unsightIy object or to cover an old stump or a bare wall For the former purpose the tall grow ing narshnallows are very effective. Nothing is more satisfactory than the white lowered Clematis (Clematic Paniculata-)
 Sometimes 1t is necessary to plant where conditions are unfavorabIe, such as rather rough or new soil, or where there is partial shade. For the former condition the hardy sunflow- CTS (HeIeanthus) or Golden Glow (Rudbeckia) may be relied upon to succeed if anything will The latter, however, should not be planted ex- cept where there will be no objectoon to having 1t spread to some extent.

ORGANIZE 4 s.TRY OUT COURSE"

AIarge number of discharged dis
 abIed men of the army, navy and ma rine corps will need special investi- gatfon and study before adequate re- training courses can be recommend ed, according to the Federal Board
 for Vocational Education; and in many instances a continued course of orthopaedic and other treatment
 is necessary to be continued during vocational instruction. Arrange
 ments have been made by the Federal
 Board for ''try out' courses at some of the larger cities where the voca- tionaI work can be given and where at the same time such expert super vision or trea tnent as the case may require may be had. Thus far ar engagements have been made for the 'try outs'' at Boston, New York, Gin cinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and Min neapolis, with other centers under | consideration.
 The men who are assgned to the
 ''try out courses will of course re-
 ceive their S65 per month for sub
 sistence aIIotments to dependents, and all expenses of special medical or othopaedic treatment defrayed by the
 Federal Board. When the special difficulties have been overcome, the
 man has been gotten into best possible shape; the best course for him de- cided upon, and he is then started upon that course in some appropriate institution, or perhaps directly the industry itself and a place is ready for him upon completion of the | course, provided by the Placement di- | vision of the Federal Board, if it is 1 a wage earning occupation for which 1 the man has trained.

oOHN CABOT,

It was 443 years ago today, that
 Sohn Capot. the G1scoyerer of Canada, first found place in tllep ages or his
 tory. On that date Zuan Cabota, as he was called, became a citizen of Venice. Although he is usually re- $erred to as a. Venetian, neither the time nor the place of Cabots birth is known. It has been conjectured that he was an Englishman, but the license granted to him in 1t98, when he was a resident of Bristol, calls him "Kabotto. Venetian" a phrase which clearly implied that he was not a natural born subject of the king of England.
