Sometimes in looking over our prin

tidings they contain, For instance in
featuring the Birthday Dinner of last
week we read that it was in honor Of
C. E. Lance's 33rd birthday instead
of his 53rd, that there were fifty pre-
sent instead of fifteen and one Clark
Lance was present instead of Blake
Lance. All of which goes to show that
we are either oversteppin gour report

office boy will have to shoulder the
blame.

BARRIERS KEEP CHINCH
BUGS FROM MIGRATING


One of the most satisfactory ways
Of constructing barrier to prevent
chinch bugs from passing from wheat
fields to the corn and oats field, is to
plow furrow around the wheatfield
and then construct creasote line in
this furrow.
newed at least every other day. Coal
tar may be used instead of creosote
but will need renewal every day.
After the furrow is thrown up, the
side of the ridge next to the wheat
is smoothed down and made firm and
small stream of crude creosote
passed along the hardened brow of the
ridge. Holes are dug at intervals of
Is or 20 feet. The chinch bugs will
not cross the creosote line because of
its odor and sickness, and finally get
into the post holes where they may be
killed each day by spraying with kero-
Sene.
Sometimes a few rows of the corn
field heavily infested is sprayed with
kerosene emulsion, diluted with 8 or
10 parts Of water, or niotine sui
phate, diluted in 500 parts, to which
a pounds of soap is dissolved to each
100 gallons of spray to make it stick

Chinch bugs remain indefinitely on
the farm from year to year if weather
conditions are right, but the past wet
season has done much to hold them in
check. There is some danger of an
outbreak, however, if dry, hot weather
comes on.

Will Ship Texas
 Cattle to the
 Philippine Islands

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 27-Fifty thousand dollars worth of Texas best range stock is being assembled in Fort Worth, preparatory to starting for the Philippine Islands, where the stock will be cross-b bred with the native cattle.
 The United States government will sponsor the tour and watch the out come. One hundred bulls and twenty heifers are in the lot. If the intro duction of the Texas blood grades up the Philippine herds, more bulls will follow at the expense of Unsle Sam.
 From here the cattle will go to San Francisco where an army trans port will be waiting. Thence they will be conveyed to the Island of Mindanao, which has been picked for because it has been freed of rnder- pest, the Asiatic cattle plague.
 In Mindanoa, the twenty Texas hcifers will be used as the start of the new herd. One of the Texas bulls will remain with the heifers. the remaining ninety-nine will be distributed to various municipalities and crossed with the native cattle.
 The work of collecting the choice Texas stock has been entrusted to Dr. A. s. Shealy of Manila, who is chief of the division of Animal Hus- bandry in the Islands government He came to the United States last fall and has now completed his visit to the Texas ranges.
 The herd has been assembled here for the tuberculin tests which will

Madrid Facing New
 Gambling Craze

Madrid, Feb. 27.-- This country, the men and women of which have the reputation of being willing to put their last peseta on some game of chance, has never witnessed such a wave of gambling as that which is now flowing over the country and has been in exestence since the conclu- sion of the war. Casinos have been erected on the borders of the large cities. These gambling houses are crowded during the afternoons and evenings and until late in the morn ing with men and women playing games in which the odds against them make it impossible for any but the extremely lucky to win.
 The newspapers have started a campaign against this gambling in Madrid especially where, as one newspaper puts it, linen and women are pauperized in gambling houses which operate under the government license and then turned on the street to beg"

Purim Is Next
 Holiday on the
 Jewish Calendar

1 Special services will be held in the synagogs on the eve of March 3rd
 and throughout the Jewish commun lty various social affairs will take
 place as means of celebrating the feast of Purim. a minor holiday oi the Jewish calendar, which occurs : this year on March 4th and is ob served according to the practice oi the synagog, beginning with the eve nlng of the previous day.
 At the service the Book of Esther
 is read in the original or in trans
 lation. accompanied by the unre- stricted comments of the congrega- tlon who manifest their approval ot the heroic deeds of Queen Esther anr Mordecai, her uncle, and scorn the trickeries of Haman by pound- ing desks, stamping their feet. and making ear-splitting noises by means of mechanical contrivances.
 , The semi -mirthful treatment of this Biblical story yielded in course of time to more sober rendition. when the story of the Jewish people in ancient Persia as outlined in this account mirrored in part the career of the Jewish people of all ages. Is- rael was beset by the enemy on all sides and daily heis life was threat ened, as in. the story of Esther.
 The joyous celebration of the feast however, was never modified despite the bitter experiences of the Jewish people were forced to endure. Every season this festival came as means of enlivening the sadness of their lot and bringing cheer to those who were forced to dwell in darkness. Home and synagog were both the scenes of merriment. In the home additional delicacies were served and all who were in distress in bodv and soul were remembered and relieved Social programs were arranged to amuse and entertain Masked balls and humorous theatricals were devis- ed to provide merriment for the Jew ish community
 The traditional practices have been preserved to this day Amonp Jewish people the feast of Pnrim ic an occasion for social events and domestic celebration of more or less elaborateness within the home circle.

Italy Also Cries
 For Resumption
 Of Tourist Trade

Rome, Feb. 27.-Demand for im- mediate resumption of fore'"n to"r- ists traffic is general in Italv da- spite shortage of hotels and lim't- ed housing facilities. Preminr Nitti and others government officials have declared it important to bring for eigners to Italy so as to lessen the balance of trade agaihst this coun- try and improve the exchanpe rates.
 In no peace time within the last 40 years have there been so few Americans in Rome as at present, Their number is said to be. abort 300. The hotels are virtually all crowded with Italians Tourists who come without makine reservations in advance find it difficult to obtain accommodat tions. The Povernmnt requisitioned 50 of the largest ho- tels in Rome for war work so that hotel space is far below normal. Hotel keepers are making ,vi"oro"e efforts to recover the use of their hostelries and each week few ho- tels are turned back to their nro- prietors. Bnt Rome has grown from 55O.O to 8OO.OOO since the beeinnin" of the war and lack of anartnfents and houses has forced Italian fam ;lies into hotels as rapidly as room has become available.
 Space will be found. nevertheless. for American tourists if thev come to Rome. said an officer of the Ho- telkeeper's Association to the Asso- ciated Press. The hotel managers have granted no leases to Italians. and, it is stated, will give prefer ence to tourists. It is pointed out that exchange rates are so favorable to Americans that the charges of Italian hotels would become reason able.
 Italian railways are making prep arations for heavy tourists traffic next spring. The. hope is general in commercial circles that Americans will come to Italy in 'larpe numbers within few months. If so. they will not find conditions normal. Mo tor transportation is said to be al- most out of the question. The cost of petrol is prohibitive and it is so scarce that it cannot be had in unlim- tied quantities at any price Motor cars also are scarce and transporta- tion by that method is high.

Simpler Dress at
 State Functions

London, Feb 27.-'Peeresses who attended the state opening of Par lament this month wore dresses wit, low necks. "but without feathers and veils." This was by order of the Lord Chamberlain who has charge of all state functions.
 It is understood that this new rule was due to Queen Marv's determina- tion that in future the dress for women attending state functions should be of simpler character than heretofore. Formerly, the gorgeous dresses of women at these functions drew crowds of sightseers and "court photographers" did big business.
