the Importance of some high-class
animal acts on the program, have
this year imported from Europe sew
eral acts that cannot fail to create
sensation.
The acts imported from across the
ocean this season include a spectacu-
lar equine drill and pyramid perfor-
nance by group of Arabian stall
ions that is said to be the most beau
tiful piece of horse training ever at
tempted. The herd of performing
elephants under the direction of their
famous trainer, Louis Reed, will pro-
duce groupings, pyramids and man
euvers heretofore thought impossible.
A group of forest bred African lions
will also hold an important place on
this interesting program on account
of the wonderful control their trainer.

really ferocious man-killing beasts.

new specimens hitherto unknown to
the ZOOS of America.
Besides the trained animals some
of the worlds greatest gymnasts,
aerialists, acrobats and equestrians
have a place on the bill, and after
the grand opening spectacle, which
is brilliant in its coloring and mas

the acts will all be of such a high
order and classified to such nicely

THE SALVATION ARMY

"Tell something about the Saliva
ton Army What is the nature of
the organization Is the drive COM
ing a national affair or purely local :?
Is the Salvation Army dong any work
in West Virginia ?"
These are some of the questions
which have come to Houston g.
Young, state chairman for the Sal
walton Army Home Service Cam
paign to be held May 1926. His
answers to some of the eommunica-
tions will be of interest to the gen.
eral public.
"The Salvation Army is a religious
body, existing in two phases-namely,
the evangeIistic, which is the primary,
and the social relief, which was made
necessary by the evangelistie, and
which operates to give permanently
to many of it's most important re-
suits. 1t was founded by the late
General William Booth, in London,
in 1865, and was first known as The
Christian Mission. Its present name
was adopted in 1878. 1t derives its
name from the fact that it works for
the salvation of mankind from all
forms of moral, spiritual and tenn
E,poral distress. Its government is
military in form and its tactics mil
liant and aggressive"
"The drive set for May 1926 is a
national affair. 1t will be campaign
covering the entire country"
"The Salvation Army has many ac-
tivities in West Virginia, Corps are
now located at leading cities of the
state and there are many requests
for the location Of additional corps
which will receive attention as soon
as the demand for workers overseas
lightens up sufficiently for officers to
be available for the founding of new
branches"
Those who look for fault in the
other fellow can always find it and
molehill easily becomes a mountain.

TWENTY FIVE YEARS
FOR RECONSTRUCTION

Professor John Howard Dickson
of the Lincoln Chautauquas declares
that there is more need for Chautau-
quas this year than ever. No one
has a chance to feel the public pulse
and to understand the spirit of the
local leaders more than the men on
the Chautauqua platform. Mr.. Dick
ason is one of the strong men on the
platform this summer and feels that
the social and religious disturbances
make strenuous effort necessary on
the part of those who believe in or
derby procedure and social advance

GRAFTON, will be required to thorough
ly discuss and understand what the
great war has done to us.
In every city there has been an in
crease of crime, a letting go of old
standards. Life is cheaper than it
used to be. Four million young men
have lost their provincial viewpoint
and are going to expect more in their
home towns because of their exper-
fences. The ideals of conversation
and actions on the part of young and
old have been changed and in some
degree shocked
1t is time for a rally to wash the
brains, to clear the minds of war
ideals and war standards and the
problem is not simply Government
and National problem, it is a local
problem. The Lincoln ChautauGuas
through their Educational Director.
Mr.. Edward Amherst OFT, are seeking
to learn the real need of each com
munity in the matter of music, en-
tertainment, assembly hall, social
centers, ect., in order that very di-
rect service may meet the indicated
needs. America has always been in
earnest about business and personal
success. 1t is essential now to be-
come in earnest about education. re-

essary for Nation to play as it is

SPRAYING APPLES
SAVES LARGE Sims


According to a statement issued to-
day at Morgantown, by w. H. Alder
man, dean of the College of Agricul-
ture, West Virginia University,
spraying apple trees saves more than
$500, 900 every year to the orchard
lists of West Virginia. Dean Alder
man emphasizes the fact that if
farmers expect to produce apples
that are free from worms, trees must
be sprayed with hme-sulphur and ar
senate of lead just after the bios
SONS fall
1t is estimated that of the total
number of trees in West Virginia rs
per cent are now being sprayed The
total number of orchards SPRAYED is
very much less than this percentage,
but the much larger number of trees
in the big orchards that are sprayed
hold up the average. Of the spray
ed trees, it is estimated that only 5
| per cent of fruit is lost and the spray
ing would represent per cent more
in cost. Of unsprayed trees, the loss
may run anywhere from 35 to so per
cent or even higher.
The large percentage of the first
brood of codling moth larvae enter
the apple at the calyx end at the
time the blossoms fall and these lar
vac can be killed if poison is there
when they take their first meal. A
spray is made of part of commercial
lime-sulphur to 40 gallons of water
along with 3 pounds of arsenate of
lead paste or ! IL pounds of the
powder to SO gallons of the mixture.
Due to the presence of so many plant
lice or aphids this season, it is best
to use | part of nicotine sulphate to
700 parts of the spray unless nicitine
was used before bloom. The spray
ing should begin when 80 percent of
the petals have fallen and before the

FOR FIELD CROPS

Experiments conducted over a per-

every dollar expended for acid phos-
plate not only was that dollar got
back but an additional 1888 in in
