LOTTERIES.

The first of the states of the Union to suppress the lottery was Massa- chusetts under a law passed 90 years ago today, June 5, 1929. Sporadic at tempts to abolish the lottery had pre- viously been made by other American states and colonies, but they were not very successful owing to the pofu- larity of the lotteries. The examp.s of Massachusetts was speedily fol- lowed in other states, but it was not until 25 years ago that the last lot tery in the United States was sup pressed. The Louisiana State Lot tery was the last important institu- ton of this kind in America. It's charter expired in 1894 and a bitter fight was waged for it's renewal. The lottery company offered the state s1,000,000 a year. double it's former offer, for the privilege of continuing in business, but public sentiment was too strong, and the proposed consti- tutional amendment to continue the/ lottery was rejected by the voters a state election.
 Lotteries originated in Flor
 Italy, in 1530 and for three cent
 they were permitted to operate In nearly all countries with little or no governmental restraint.

 There were several tilts at times quite acrimonious between Jacob Klein one of the attorneys for Mrs. Deckand and John Cornell. counsel for MT. Cassidy. as MT. Klein was the least bit inclined to heckle his op- ponent.
 Effort was made by Mir. Cornell to bring out the fact that had the con- tract been carried out all of the property consisting of 49 lots would have been sold. MT. Klein took the ground that this was too suppositi- tious, but was overruled by Judge Maltbie.
 Continuing, Mir. Cassidy stated the lots sold up to the time the contract was terminated were at an average price of $s1S or S6S more than the contract called for. He was certain that this price could have been main tained. The case was still on at press hOur

Some of the insects attacking plants and flowers " though fortu- nately not many of them-work in the roots in the soil, or inside of tho stems or stalks of the plants them selves. The latter are called Dor CTS" Their presence is indicated by the wilting of the top of the stalk at which they are at work or by turn ing in color and putting forth inn perfect leaves; or, in the case of or namental trees or shrubs through a discoloration of the bark and usually a small hole at which a sawdust liko deposit appears. With fruits and pe- rennials cutting off and burning the infested top is the simplest remedy. With fruit and ornamental trees the Borers may be dug uot with a sharp knife blade or reached and killed with a stiff copper wire
 When plants wilt, or do not act right" without any apparent cause, it is time to suspect some root worms or root maggots are at work. This can only be determined by taking up one of the affected plants. Then the affected plant should be taken up carefully with the roots and burned. If not fatally injured they can be put back and reset. especially if the large white grub has caused the trouble. Root maggots in the soil can be killed with the use of bisulphide of carbon. This is a liquid which, when exposed to the air, forms a gas that is heavier than air and will ci.

EVERYTHING IN BUDAPEST WAS
 PAINTED RED

Princeton, N. J., June 5-The Com munists, or Bolsheviki, painted every thing red in Budapest until the paint supply was exhausted, according to an American officer who recently wis ited that Hungarian city. This fact was mentioned in a letter written by another American officer attached to the Peace Conference who wrote from Vienna on May 1, his letter coming through by way of Paris in unusually fast time.
 The writer apparently did not pro- ceed beyond Vienna but received his information concerning the decorat ation of Budapest with red paint from another American officer who had just returned from that city. The writer said that American money was worth much more to the people of Vienna than their own paper money.
 ''The dollar now buys 30 kronen, where 1t used to buy only five kro- nen." he wrote. "So we Americans are all rich. There are five or six American officers and an American mission in Vienna, and the Americans are well liked here, getting favors in the hotels. restaurants and theatres. Still people stare at us quite openly when we walk down the street. One sees quite a few German and Austrian officers and soldiers on the street"
 There is now, he says, only one way for an outsider to travel to Vienna and that is by the InterAllied EX- press which comes through twice a week to Warsaw and has cars which are dropped off for Prague, Budapest and Constantinople. The country is so short of food, he adds, that ''sev- eral weeks ago the Bolsheviki took the diner off the train.'' so the Allied diplomats must now carry their own food.
