TREE INSECTS ARE
 VERY BUSY IN MAY

Washington, April 29.-May is the month when the insects wake up and get ready to attack your trees, says 8 bulletin from the American Forestry association. Here is some tree advice from the association for May:
 Plant evergreens during the first part of May. Spray for all varieties of insects. those that chew. suck and bore. Complete the removal of trees hopelessly infested with horinss insects such as the hickory bark beetle, the two-lined chestnut borer. Examine trees to see that they are free from eggs of the Tussock moth. Gypsy moth. etc, and from cocoons such as those of the brown-tail moth and the bag worm.

THE SMALL NATIONS

For the first time in history great
power has spoken for small states and
subject peoples. The idea of self-de-
termination has been given the solemn
sanction of the President of the United
States" says Frederick c. Howe in
his most recent book entitled, ''The
Only Possible Peace" The President
has dealt territorial Imperialism a
death blow.
Previous peace conferences have
treated the smaller nations as pawns.
Let US consider the great contribu-
tions small nations have made to civ
ilization in the past and ask ourselves
whether small nations should be alb
sorbed into larger governmental units
or given q helping hand.
Small nations have been the centers
of a highly organized life from the
time of Athens down to date. They
have promoted the arts and sciences.
They have encouraged learning. They
have built beautiful cities. These are
the countries that have the lowest IL
literacy in Europe. They have con-
tributed political ideas. Belgium was
The home of internationalism and the
bulwark of civilization at a critical
period in the war for democracy. It
is the small states that have kept lib
erty alive
Every small nation capable of self
government which now exists as an
independent state should be allowed
to maintain its independence or be
given opportunity to choose the ma
ton with which it wants to cast its
lot.

A PHILOSOPHY OF PICKLES

There is more in pot of pickles
than meets the eye.
Pickles represent those things that
we really do not need, yet that we like
SO much to have" writes F. w. Bore
ham. They are things that we would
not dream of eating by themselves,
yet they impart a delightful piquancy
to other things We do need, but which
do not appeal. There is very def
mite relation between a cold shoulder
of mutton and piccalilli. as there is
between roast beef and horse radish;
chops and tomato sauce; and roast
pork and apple sauce"
The best possible course would be
to eat the meat and leave the pickle;
but that would be the course of a
saint The worst course would be to
take the pickle and leave the meat;
but this would be the course of fool.
One must compromise. It is consid-
cred better, on the whole, that one
should be partly poisoned than one
should be totally starved.
One can find the pickle philosophy
in the study. Look at books. for in

margins, steel engravings and a cer-
tain indefinable smack of superiority

If one already possess a good appetite
one can take ones literary mutton
straight, even if it be served on paper
covered, dog-eared editions, but many
books are read, not because one par
ticularly waits to read them, but only
because of their beautiful makeup.
When living exclusively on pickles,
one suffers. Pickles must lead to
mutton.
Nature adds the element of beauty
to the element of utility. This is the

scale. With the blush OF the apple

Yates ones fancy.
Ones life may conform to certain
standard requirements as a shoulder
OF mutton, but unless one supplies
something extra to add piquancy,
friends will shake their heads sor-
rowfully and turn away. 1t is some
thing extra, the bloom as well as the
fruit, the voluntary mile after the
compulsory has been travelled, that
glorifies everything.
This is the doctrine of the pickle

There are other newspapers with
larger circulations, but it is doubtful
if any other has so much influence
with its subscribers The family in
the small town and on the farm is in
accord with the aims and service of
the good country paper
Despite the tendency of city papers
and Of city folk in general to ridicule
the country paper, there is little doubt
that, in some ways, the country week
ly is the best paper printed. 1t comes
nearer to fulfilling the purpose for
which it was established-that of tell
ing the news about its own commune
ty and of neighboring communities
than any other paper has ever come.
The successful country weekly con-
fines itself very largely to the home
field. 1t gives its subscribers that
which the daily cannot furnish. 1t is
close to the lives, the ambitions, the
triumphs and the disappointments Of
the people of its community.

FARMER PROBLEM
BIG, SAYS HOOVER
QUESTION is TO BRIDGE GAP
BETWEEN WAR AND PEACE IN
SATISFACTORY MANNER.
When Markets Of Europe Are Opened
Freely to Trade, There Will be a
Greater Demand for Food Than
Can be Supplied.

Paris. - Herbert Hoover United
States food administrator and director
general of the International relief or.
ganizatiOn in statement issued Sun.
day declared that:
THE dominating food problem in
the United States at this moment IL
very much bigger problem than the
Chicago packers. 1t is a problem of
the American farmer.
IF the packers profit of 2 or 3 per
cent on his turnover is too high it is
the duty of congress to tax it out of
him. If the farmers pritsu threaten to
fall below the level of fair return, it
behoOves the country to do some quick
clear thinking.
"The perplexities arising out of in
ability to demobilize totally the food
situation of the world in the period
between the armistice and peace make
the farmers position in the matter of
much more immediate concern than
the future of the Chicago packers.
Taking it broadly, before the Euro
pean war began we exported about
100000 tons of food year. This
year we are prepared to export at the
rate of from 15,O0O,0OO to 20,000,OOO
tons. The increase represents t. pa
triOtic service of the American farm
er, plus the voluntary sacrifice of the
average American under the stimula-
tion of the pleas from the allied gov
ernments that without an enormous in
crease in our food supplies their very
lives would be menaced.
"We are thus faced with a serious
problem with respect to our own great
supplies, patriotically accumulated. If
an early peace is signed and the mar
kets of Europe lare opened freely to
trade, there will be a greater demand
for food from the new mouths than
ever this surplus could supply. But
in the periods between the armistice
and peace we have a very difficult
situation.
1--WE have found it possible to pro-
tect the American farmer in the two
and One-halt months since the armis-
tice. This we have done by co-operat-
ing with the allies, in opening wider
markets to neutral countries and by
relief shipments into the liberated ter
ritories. The next and last six weeks
of the high fat production season will
be still more difficult to manage, as
peace cannot be expected in that time,
extended markets."
