Much rubbish is appearing in the
daily press concerning Washington S
dictum about entangling alliances and
the moral to be applied therefrom TO
the Peace Treaty and the League OF
Nations. Without going into the mep-
its of the Treaty or the Covenant, it
would seem evident that a caution
given a century and half ago, even
by the most farsighted Of statesmen,
cannot be applied with any force to
present conditions. At a time when
it took as long to travel by stage
coach between New York and Boston
as it does now to travel between New
York and London, and when messag-
es were carried by courier instead Of
being telegraphed or telephoned, the
prevention of entangling alliances was
a relatively simple matter. Today the
cease is not so simple. The effect Of the
tremendous development of methods
of communication and travel during
the last half century has been to mar
row the Atlantic to a mere river; Eu-
rope is just over the horizon; the the
DRY of avoiding entanglements by
leaving other nations alone is no long
er practicable. Our new neighbots are
here, at our doorstep, and deal with
them we must. Our isolation, which
resulted from lack of means of COM
munication. is gone forever; entangle-
ments, or the lack of them, depend up
on the manner in which we choose to
comport ourselves toward the rest Of
the world.

New Plans for
Collecting Taxes

Owing to the enormous increase of
Government revenue over the pre-
war period. the Internal Revenue De-
partment has been facing great
problem in collecting the taxes neces-
sary to take care of the war expenses
and retire the war debt. AS an ex-
ample of the increase, the st. Louis
collection district, which embraces the
eastern half of Missouri, during the
fiscal year ending June 80 last col
lected approximately $4,000, 900,
while the collections for the first year
of Geo. Moores administration as Col
ector, were about 81 100000, an in
crease of over 700 per cent. There
are 81 collection districts in the Unit
ed States and the percentage of in
crease has been approximately the
same over the entire country.
Owing to the fact that the prepara-
ton of income tax returns are COM
pick to many, and that there are many
different kinds of miscellaneous tax
es in regard to which the taxpayers
need personal assistance and instruc-
ton, the Department, in It's plan to
decentraliZe the collection Of the Gov
eminent revenue as much as possible,
has arranged for each district to he
divided into zones, and a revenue Of
ficer permanently stationed in each
zone. This officer will be deputy
collector. and he will be authorized to

as they might need He is also au-

RETURNS FROM THIRD LOAN.
BY Buying War Savings Stamps or
Treasury Savings Certificates You
Doubly Compound Interest.

Are you one of those patriots who,
during the Third Liberty Loan, gave
your country the support your finan-
cial condition permitted, and loaned
your money that the boys in khaki
might be fed, clad and supplied with
the munitions necessary to defeat
Germany?
If you are one of these, then you
have realized time and again on your
investment. and know that better
one was never made.
And now September Is again re-
mindsqyou of your good deed. For on
that date comes d the millions of
dollars in interest that Uncle Sam is
paying for that money borrowed dur
ing the dark days of the early summer
in 1913.
1t was the money that you loaned
your government in those days. and
in the loans that followed. that
brought Germany to its knees.
The need of the government for
money is just as great now as It was
then, but of course 1t, does not need
the money in such quantities,c The
work of reconstruction is just as i'm
portant as the work of destruction.
The interest money you draw from
your Third Liberty. Loan investment.

help your government. and 1t would

can make anywhere in this or any.

Farm Bureau to Have Two Demon.
STATIONS Of Winter Barley.

Several farmers in our county have
been interested in trying out some
winter barley. The ordinary varieties
are not hardy enough to withstand
our climate. Two varieties known as
the "Beardless Winter" and the "Ten-
nessee Winter, have been bred up in
Tennessee to be extremely hardy. The
Farm Bureau, in cooperation with the
Farm Crops Department Of the Col
lege of Agriculture, will try out both
of these varieties the coming year. At
least two acres of each variety will be
sown. Barton Wagner, living east
of Pennington, and James Ferguson,
living near the Cross Roads school,
will be our co-operators in this work.

Chinch Bugs Numerous in the County

Chinch Bugs Numerous in the County
In travelling over the county, we
hear numerous complaints about the
chinch bugs being unusually thick this
year. A large number of the corn
fields in the county are rather heavily
infested with these mean little pests.
1t does not seem that there has been
much damage done by these insects
this year, but with favorable condi-
tons, there is no question but that
they could be serious pest he COM
ing year; SO it might be well for us
to study their habits in advance and
be prepared should it be necessary.
Briefly, the life history of the chinch
bug is as follows:
During the winter the bugs hiber-
nate in clumps of grass, in the butts,
and in old shocks Of corn, or under
whatever rubbish is available. In ear
ly spring they assemble in fields of
grass and small grain. Soon they
i pair and the females commence to lay
| their small yellowish-white eggs up
on the roots or bases of the stalks,
each laying some $50 to 200 eggs.
The eggs are laid from the middle of
April until the first of June, depend
ing upon the latitude and weather,
and hatch in two or three weeks. AS
the nymphs grow they often do Sc
rious injury to small grains and grass,
upon which they become full grown
about the time of harvest. When
wheat is harvested, they spread TO
oats and soon to corn, but, curiously
enough, though the adults have wings,
they travel from field to field on foot,
were it not for which fact We should
be at loss to cope with their migra-
ton. Eggs are now laid upon the I'M
folding leaves of the corn, from which
the nymphs commence to emerge in
about ten days. This second brood
natures on corn in August and Sep
TENDER and is the one which later hi
bernateseover winter. Though where
corn is not available the whole sea-
son may be passed on grass.
| Dry weather furnishes ideal condi-
tons for the chinch bug to multiply
Should we, have another dry winter and
dry spring. the chinch bug would very
likely be serious menace to our
wheat and corn. A rainy winter and
rainy spring would ordinarily kill out
the majority of them so no damage
would be done. To aid in Graduating
them, we should clean out and burn all
fence corners and thickets adjoining
infested fields SO as to destroy their
alternating places. Corn stalks
should not be left in badly infested
fields, as they also prove to be excel
lent hiding places. Where the corn
has been cub the corn stubs should be
plowed under. Many farmers CLAIM,
lthat oats planted near infested fields
