WHEN THE PAPER
DOESN'T COME

My father says the paper that he reads
isn't put up right,
He finds a lot Of fault, he does, perus'
in il at night.
He says they amt a single thing in il
worth while to read.
And that it doesn't print the kind of
stuff that people need.
He losses it aside and says it's strictly
on the bum
But you ought to hear him holler when
the paper doesn't come.
He reads about The weddin's, and he
snorts like all git out;
He reads the social doin's with most
derisive shout.
He says they make the papers for the
women folks alone.
He'll read about the parties, and he'll
fume and fret and groan.
He says of information it don't contain
a crumb--
But you ought to hear him holler when
the paper doesn't come.

A new method Of controlling the
apple margoi IS reported from the
/ College Of Agriculture through the
! University Of Vermont Agricultural
/ Extension Service. Tho apple maggot,
which has been very troublesome
Throughout several generations, will
/ finally succumb 70 a new spray Ep-
piled at very particular time says
Prof. NJ y. Cummings. The railrosd
worm, or apple maggot, as il is often
named seems now thoroughly control
liable by the arsenate Of lead spray
applied at a particular time. The
method Of control consists in spraying
the trees with five pounds Of arsenste
Of lead to one hundred gallons Of
water. The first application is made
during the last days Of June or the
first week Of July, and the second APP
plieation about two weeks later in case
infestation is serious or much harm is
anticipated.
The spraying must be done thor
oughly, although there appears to be
no need of coating the trees as COM
pletely as when spraying for codling
moth. The applications may be made
more quickly and with less materials
than are necessary for the usual
spraying operations.
The insect is widely distributed
throughout New England and New
York State and attacks sometimes
seriously such varieties RS Early Har-
vest, Red Astrachan, Maiden Blush,
Alexander, Pumpkin Sweet, Tolman
Sweet, Fameuse, Mcintosh, etc.
From the experience of practical
growers it seems probable that after
the maggot has once been brought an
der control the ordinary codling moth
sprays given af,er the petals fall, and
again three weeks later will control
the flies Of the apple maggot.

Congress is now pretty wei agreed

Representative Nelson.
Certain lines that can be welded

the great general plan to which con-

will take a long term of years-hf-

Trip to Tucson

In spite of few accidents such as the explosion, fifty miles from Tucson, of one Ford, owned by Howard Jones, the loss of motorcycle belonging to Charles Short, the trip to Tucson was a success.
 Our school Orator, Napoleon Con gales although not winning a prize, ac- cording to the reports of those pres ent. upheld the honors of Clifton High School in a most creditable manner. Wilma Stephens and Eileen Martin, from the Domestic Science Dept. also made a good showing.
 We have reason to feel very proud of our commercial student, Theresa Spezia who won second place for Cliff ton in that work She deserves great credit for her diligent and persevering effort in her preparation in this sub ject. Next year Clifton hopes to send more representative and carry off even more honors than she did this year.

MILLIONS IN U. s. OWN RAILROADS Wage Farmers Directly and h. directly Affected by Roads
 Solvency.
DIVISION OF SECURITIES
Mutual Savings Banks Owned Entire ly by Depositors Hold Large
 Amount of Railway Bonds.

Millions of thrifty Americans who day" are directly or indirectly owners of railroad securities. This ownership represents not only individual \invest- ment in the railroads, but holdings of railroad securities by life insurance companies, savings banks, fire and ma rine insurance companies, benevolent associations educational institutions. trust companies and State and Nation- al banks. A large part of the assets of these institutions depend on the sol vency of the railroads.
 The ownership of railroad securities among these people is divided approx Imately as follows:
 Individuals, numbering over
 100000, own outright about $10,-
 000,O0O,OOO in railroad securities.
 Over 100000 are stockholders with
 an average holding of $13.956. |.
 Life insurance companies, with:
 53,O00,O0O policies in force, own
 nearly $2,OO0,OOO,OOO of railway
 securities. s,., ,.r,,-ts,
 Savings banks, with 10000 900
 
 Fire and marine insurance com
 panies, casualty and surety com-
 panies own total of S649, ,OOO, ,OOO.,
 Benevolent associations, col
 leges, schools, charitable institu-
 tions. etc, own $350, 100000
 Trust companies, State and Ma
 tional banks own SS65, 5,0O0,0O0.
 According to statistics compiled for the Association of Life Insurance Pres idents in 1918, 27.65 per cent of life insurance companies assets were in- vested in railroad bonds, and during the first half of 1919 the percentage of ance companies was 26.25 of the total assets of these companies.
 Interest of Wage Farmers. In addition to this widespread own ership of equities of American rail- roads by the people of the United States every wage earner who puts money into the savings bank has di- rect interest in the soundness of rail road investment on account of the large part of the savings of men and women wage earners secured by the railroad bonds which are bought by the savings banks. A great many of these institutions are mutual savings banks which have no capital stock, pay no dividends, earn no profits for stockholders, and their entire property belongs to the de positors. Every dollar that the bank earns beyond the actual cost of doing business also belongs to them
 . The report of the United States Comptroller of the Currency for 1918 shows that 625 of these savings banks operated on the mutual plan h" at the end of 1918 total deposits of $4,422, 096,393 15 credited to 9,O11, ,464 depos itOrs, an average deposit of $49072 These figures covered mutual savings banks in IS states of the Union.
 The Comptroller's report gives the amount of railroad bonds held by mu. tual savings banks in the six New Eng land states-Maine, New Hampshire Vermont, Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Connecticut-a $4O6,272, ,166. The report of the. State Superintendent of Banks of New York shows that the railroad bonds held by the mutual say ings banks at the end of 1918 in New York amounted to $361.711. .334.
