should be the head. He was determined
that there should be a league of nations
then and there and in order 10 nullify
the powers of the senate given by tne
Constitution of the United States, he
decided to make the league an integral
part of the treaty of peace with Ger
many. Thus he presented to the senate,
and intended to present, a dilemma from
which he believed there was no escape.
In order to have peace with Germany,
he meant to compel the senate to accept
with it the league of nations.
THE republicans of the senate, per-
ceiving the dangers of the league. deter
mined to resist Mr., Wilson's demand.
The American people will never accept
that alliance with foreign nations pro-
posed by the president. The president
meantime has remained infieXible. He is
determined to have that treaty as he
brought it back or nothing, and to that
imperious demand the people will reply
in tones which cannot be misunderstood
eve have stopped Mr.. Wilson's treaty
and the question goes to the people. In
1916 Mr.. Wilson won on the cry that
he had kept US out of war He now de-
mands the approval of the American
people for his party and his administra-
ton on the ground that he has kept us

cd of getting rid of the hard-sheH beetles,
They may be killed by either crushing
them or dropping them into boiling wa.
ter. The slugs or soft-shen beetles can
gathered to so good advantage, but they.
may be poisoned by springling the plants
while the dew is upon them, with a
mixture consisting of a heaping tea
spoonful of Paris green to apint of air
slaked lime or land plaster
Flea beetles are small insects that eat
round holes similar to shot holes in the
leaves of beans. tomatoes, and number
of other garden crops. They can be
poisoned with the Paris green-lime mix
ture referred to for potato heetles-or
they can be driven away by busting the
plants with fine road dust, air-slaked
lime, or with very dry, powdery, sifted
coal ashes.
Plant lice are more difficult to control
as they do not eat the leaves but stick
their beaks into the leaves and suck the
juices They are rather difficult to
i control, as they are found mainly on the
under side of the leaves. One remedy
is to spray with some form of tobacco
extract or nicotone sulphate, using one
| Tablespoon in a gallon Of water in
which there has previously been dis
solved a 1-inch cube of laundry soap.
The mixture should be thoroughly stir
red and applied underneath the leaves

or atomizer that will create a fine mist

the difficulties and opposition imposed
by hostile executive" He enumerated
various beneficial measures, adding that
the estimates had been reduced over 9
billion dollars. He advocated enforce
ment of the laws against PSF iieering
and said it was possible to Chez. the ad-
vance of prices by law, by providing for
'the control of credits in such manner as
to give preference TO the most essential
products" He described the railroad act

KILLING GARpEN ENEM1Es.

Weeds and insects are garden enemies,
and the time to kill both is before they
appear.
Careful stirring of the soil destroys the
little wood seedlings just after the seeds
have sprouted. Likewise cultivation
keeps the garden in such shape that m
sects do not find hiding place, and are
not so liable to injure the garden crops.
Cutworms, potato bugs, flea beetles, and
plant lice are the most troublesome in
sects. Do not give them a chance to get
started.
The Colorado potato beetles, hard
shells, themselves do not do a grea,
amount of harm except that they lay
clusters of yellow eggs on the under side
of the potato leaves. In few days
these eggs hatch into soft shell BEETLES
or slugs as they are sometimes called
In the soft shell or slug form the po-
tato beetle has an enormous appetite ano
a colony of them will soon strip the foil
age from a hill of potatoes.
Hand picking is perhaps the best meth
