every means OF modern transporta-

today sought places to lay their
heads during the hours that inter

of railroad trains, strings OF steam

and even an occasional airplane are
depositing their burdens OF human
freight.
Every arrangement for the caring
of the visitors is being tested to the
limit and 1t appears certain that by
night sleeping accommo odations will
not be available at any price. II was
stated this morning that every one
OF the $4,000 hotel cots and beds
had been reserved, while the over
flow was being shunted into private
rooming places and huge vacant
stores and office buildings filled with
cots. On the outskirts and In the
parks along the lake front, tents are
being erected.

Second Generation Spray


This spray is generally due early
in July, but the Goblin moth does
not come in generation In Southern
Oregon. but matches almost con-
tinuously after the first warm days
Keep the fruit covered with spray"
is the rule. Fruit has been growing
rapidly, and. no doubt, most OF 1t
has outgrown the last spray. We
would advise an arsenate OF lead
spray 3to 100 within a few days.
Cabbage Worms
Butterflies that deposit the eggs
of cabbage worm have been very
numerous the last few days. Look
out for an outbreak of cabbage
worms in a few days.
Paris green, a pound to $50 gal
Ions of water, used as a spray is a
good remedy, and can be used with
safety until the heads are about
half formed
Hot water, at temperature of
100 degrees, will destroy all insects
and do practically no harm to the
plants. c. d. THOMPSON.

A BANKERS VIEW OF
THRIFT In SCHOOLS

"The habit Of saving should be
started when the generation is young.
If children are taught the value Of
money and property, and what use
can be made out Of them for their
own benefit they can be made to know
the first requisite and compensating
advantage Of thrift.
"To the youth Of this country, in
my opinion, the first lessons Of thrift
should be impaired by the parents.
Next, when the children are sent to
school, the same lesson should be
taught over and over again. We
must all realize that we cannot rob
our virgin soil and expect it to pro-
duce abundantly after years Of crop
taking. The soil must be replenish-
cd, and our own children be taught
long the right lines Once the seed
# thrift is sown among the young Of
our common country and is cultivated
by the teachers in our schools we can
feel certain that the United States Of
America win be safe and secure as to
its future and prepared against any

A LOST GOAT.

Has any one found lady goat :
Last Saturday one eluded its custo-
dian as soon as she found that he in
tended to take her away from Port
Gibson. The authority on goat talk
explained that he learned that her OBJ
lection to leaving Port Gibson was
that there were 50 many tin cans on
the streets, alleys and vacant lots that
she said she would have no trouble
to find something to eat for many a
day.
Then, too, it was learned that she
was an educated goat and said she
would be doing good thing for the
public BY destroying the tin cans, for
the people did not know that they
were the breeding places Of the ma
laria mosquitoes.
If the owner Of this goat insists on
taking her to his plantation, would i
not be well to raise purse and buy
her for the purpose Of fighting the
mosquitoes through the tin can route.
