THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
John Eliot,
is 1T YOURS1
AUG. 5,(?) 1904.

AUG. SGD 1904.
John Eliot, called the Apostle to the
Indians, was either born or baptised
on the 9Th Of August, 1904, in Hert-
fordshire. England. He was the son
of q middle class farmer, and little is
known Of his early life except that he
was trained for the ministry at Cam
bridge. He became Puritan, and be-
cause of religious prosecutions he emil
grated to America when he was still
IN mrs tWenties.
He settled in Boston and married
Hannah milford. to whom he was en-
gagged in England, and who became
hisf lifelong and devoted helper. He
wanted to convert the Indians. and to
do so began TO learn their language
with the help OF a young Indian whom
he received into his home. With this
Indians help he translated first the
Ten Commandments and the Lord s
Prayer. and then successfully preached
to the Indians in their own language
at Nonantum-now Newton.
At his third sermon several Indians
declared they were converted, and pre-
sently others joined the church. Money
poured in to help Eliot. A first AM
then a second Indian town was
formed. Eliot translated the entire
bible into the Indian. dialect of that
region. This was the first bible to be
printed over here. il is believed.
King Philips war was a blow to the
work. but at Eliot's death in 1890, the
missions were highly prosperous. That
his work was not permanent was due
to the racial traits Of the New Eng
land Indians.

THE BeorHEPRonDS DEMAND.

The demand Of the railroad TABOR
heads that private capital shall be re-
tired from the roads and that the
roads shall be administered under
trjpart!te control by the employees
the public and the operating manage
ment. will strike the public like a ton
of brick. The demand appears to
have been made with elaboration
and after consideration and with a
plain purpose of taking over the roads
as a governmental-labor- semi public
proposition.
It is a most serious proposal and
one that is certain to bring on a
aerce controversy and perhaps some
what more than controversy. Any
proposal TO continue government
operation of railways will meet i'm
mediate and strong disapproyal in the
middle west and for the matter OF that
everywhere in the country. That the
proposition includes control by the
employees Of the road ana 'he oP''"
ing management will not give it
strength and appeal to the shipping
and agricultural interests. In
clusion Of the public as an element Of
control and management VIII set the
average men wondering how much
force that indefinite element We term
The public" has or has had or ever
viii have in control and management
Of any public utility.
Following the experiment and fail
ure OF government operation Of rail-
roads the proposition Is not likely 10
call forth support from business in
teres,s. farmers and IS likely to meet
determined opposition within the ranks
Of or-an.zed labor itself.

A WARNING INCIDENT.

dangerous places and put the burden
Of their own safety upon those operat-

the Country Club grounds here when

of people and automobiles were in

bors have not felt the necessity for storing coal
through the summer. When there is no demand
for coal none can be produced because coal
must be shipped from the mines as fast as it is

Ideness of mines and demand for workers
elsewhere has grealy reduced the number OF
miners Now you and your neighbors are going
to ask reduced mining force to produce double
the amount of coal ordinarily required for the
next four months simply because you did not
want to store coal in the summer time. To the
extent that the miners fail the supply will be
curtailed.

high plateau region of Mexico or Cen
trail America. The records indicate
that the insect in all likelihood oc-
casioned the abandonment of cotton
growing in parts of Mexico and Cen
trail America.
Our agricultural authorities inform
us that since 1894 the boil weevll has
extended its range from 40 to 30 miles,
having made its first appearance near
Brownsville, Texas in 1892. During
the first ten years after its advent into
this country the annual rate of spread
was 5.640 square miles. Since 1901
the annual infested territory has over
aged 26,SSo square miles, In 1904, ar
exceptional season, 81. 500 square miles
became infested.
The weevil has periodic thirst and
apparently there Is Just one liquid that
appeals overwhelmingly 70 it's palate.
ON the underside of cotton leaves. on
the midrib, or principal vein. and some
times on two other veins, can be found
little elongated depression which
usually looks sticky and frequently
holds drop of liquid. On the outside
of the squares at the base of each
bract or leaflet are other little cups
and between the hract and the bud
itself are three more cups. AT the
bottom of the flower cup still more Of
these tiny vessels are found. They
are called nectar cups because they
exude a sweet liquid. This is the tip
pie that the boil weevil is drawn to.
The adult boil weevll is about one
fourth of an inch in length, but its
size depends upon the amount of food
that it contains while in the larvae
stage. The boil weeviI passes the win
ter in the adult condition. In the
spring and throughout the fruiting
season of cotton the eggs are deposited
by the females in cavities formed by
eating into the fruit of the plant. An
egg matches under normal conditions
mediately begins tn feed. In from
seven to twelve days the grub passes
into it's pupal stage. corresponding to
the cocoon of butterflies and moths.
This stage lasts from three to five
DAVIS. Then he adult issues and in
about FIVE days begins the production
of another generation. Males and
females are produced in about equal
numbers. The males feed upon the
squares and the hollis without moving
until the food begins to deteriorate.
The females refrain from depositing
eggs in squares visited by other
females. AS many as fifteen larvae
have been found in single boil
A conservative estimate of the
progeny of single pair of weevils
during a season. beginning on June 20
and extending to November 4, is 70
755. 100l
Government authorities have shown
that the boil weevil can be held greatly
in check by proper cultural processes
and also by the use of insecticides
which can be SPRAYED upon the plants
at certain stages of their growth BY
the latter process the weevii's drink
can be poisoned. and as it slakes its
thirst at least once every day Its
doom can be sealed.
