Somewhat Embarrassing in This
Particular Case.

tentive admirer. Occasionally he
comes to the school building after

would. close the building. But still be

morning he explained his stay by re-

home the evening before. "But yon
could have gone home" reminded the
principal. II told you we would close

see, Miss T., it's this way. The board

PONZj'S MILLIONS

Charles Ponzi, an italian of Boston,
who arrived here few years ago with
nothing, has evidently become 10
days wonder by cleaning up a huge
fortune through dealing in postal
money orders. It also appears that
he has paid fabulous returns to others
who lent him money for his specula-
ton.
Ponzis main trick appears to have
been buying our money orders to sell
to his more ignorant countrymen who
wished to send money across or to re-
turn home Our postal authorities
kept up the old rate of exchange exist
ing before the war. Thus as lire fell in
value Ponzi was able to get 81, 50 and
even SIS for one. The wonder is really
not Ponzi's success but the stupidity
and disregard of the interests Of poor
aliens shown by our postal department.
It looks as If the scandal would extend
further than the money-grabbing
Italian if properly investigated.

. WEST VIRGINIA STIRRING

Samuel B. Montgomery, farmer
labor candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor Of West Vir-
giania in the recent primary, has ap-
pealed to the Kanawha county court
for an investigation of that campaign.
He charges that $250,00O was raised by
the West Virginia Coal Operators as
sociation and expended for their hand
picked candidate, E. F. Morgan, who
claims the nomination. The court
granted the request and set the hear
ing for August 16.
Montgomery charges that the coal
operators held a meeting in the city
of Washington last year and there
agreed to put up the slush fund and
prevent his nomination. He claims
that if the votes cast in the primary
had been fairly counted he would have
won by at least 10000 plurality.
Independent observers throughout
the gunman-ridden state agree with
his estimate Even some of the news
papers pronounce the primary count

STEEL TRUST vs.. CHURCH

on Industrial relations upon the steel
industry and the recent steel strike
has at last been printed, and has been
sent to President Wilson. 1t justifies,
by it's blunt criticisms, all the efforts
made by the steel interests to suppress
it. And it is now we'll known that be-
cause they could not suppress this in
Quiry the steel interests used their ma
tion-wide financial and press connec-
tons to break up the Interchurch
World Movement.
They succeeded.
The movement died in giving birth
to this report on steel. The report
warns the nation that unless Justice
is done-preferably through a COM
mission to be named by the president
we shall soon have another and more
important struggle in the steel indus
try. There appears no likelihood that
the president will pay any heed to the
suggestion.

government to seize all of Siberia and

been taken by the Japs, and there are
rumors that hundreds of thousands OF

From the time the seeds of garden
crops are put into the ground until
the crops are harvested a succession
of diseases and insect enemies may
appear, each of which must be fought
by the methods that experience has
shown to work best in the particular
case.
Diseases of plants are due to many
causes. Plants suffer If the soil is not
suited to them. 1t may be too rich or
too poor or too heavy or too light, or
1t may contain too much or to little
water. 1t may lack lime and humus
Some vegetables, such as spinach and
caullflower, thrive In cool weather and
do poorly in midsummer, while others,
like tomatoes and Lima beans, are hot
weather plants. Excessive heat pro-
duces whiting or tpburn. Too much
water in the soil keeps the roots from
the air they need and causes a sickly,
yellow growth. Fertilizers In excess
or used carelessly may burn the leaves,
injure the roots, or prevent seed from
terminating.
1t always is important to have the
soil deeply plowed or spaded and
made loose and light with plenty Of
well-rotted manure or compost and to
keep the ground cultivated so that the
surface will not become hard or
weedy. Use the best seed to be had

The diseases which cause most loss
are due TO fungi and bacteria. Fungi
and bacteria are plants, though US

Fungi and bacteria grow and multi

of antennae or "feelers," normally
three pairs of legs, and usually one
or two pairs of wings. Among in
furious forms of true insects are bee
ties, butterflies, moths, sawflies, ants,
grasshoppers, plant-bugs, thrips and
