CHRISTOPHER BAIT.

A year ago the grasshoppers ate up nearly $1eo, ,o0e, 000 worth of our win ter wheat Science at once set about devising some scheme to control this pest. They mixed a concoction, on an enormous scale, known as "grasshop- per bait" making 4565 tons of it, or enough to fill 1S3 large railroad cars. To mix this bait they used 50O,- o0o lemons, eighty three tons ot white arsenic and other ingredients in similar proportion The bait was then scattered over a great area in Kansas. The grasshoppers ate it free ly with the expected result. Thi: year there are no graShoppers in Kansas.

ed the crowds that take advantage of
the recreation facilities of the Dis

tennis courts, base ball diamonds and
beaches are more crowded this year
than they have ever been in previous
summers. This is due principally to
the wider education of the public and
their increased interest in outdoor
sports.

Both the republican and democratic
candidates for the presidency may
talk as they like concerning the
league of nations as an issue in the
present campaign, but evidences are
multiplying that the United States
will within a year be a member of
the league of nations as provided
for by the treaty of Versailles
Senator Harding may keep his po-
sition ambiguous in order to keep the
votes of the Hiram johnson follow
ing and Gov. Cox may talk about res
ervations in order not to ALLEVIATE the
people who didn't like Mr.. Wilson's
insistence on an unqualified treaty.
but the presence of Elihu Root and
DR.. James Brown Scott in the meet
ings now taking place abroad to form
court of international justice is
looked upon both in Washington by
international lawyers and abroad by
diplomats and statesmen as the fore
runner of republican policy in the
event that Mr.. Harding is elected.
