Pumpkin Bugs Enemy to Plants.

Pumpkin bugs attack a variety Of

mato. The bug is q sucking insect

are of no avail in controlling them.
The only means of controlling them
seems to be hand collecting. Take
a pan o" wide mouthed dish, pour in
about an inch of water and cover the
water with a film of kerosene. In
the early morning or on q cold, rainy
day walk along the row and knock

MARTINIQUE ISLAND
ENJOYS PROSPERITY
(By The Associated Prsss)

. Fort de France, Martinique, Dec.
l4.-Martinique is enjoying what
is characterized as an unprece-
dented era of prosperity in the his
tory of the island. This is attri-
buted to the increase of business
resulting from the war and to the
high prices paid in France for Mar
Unique rum.
The foreign commerce of the
island increased from 55,000,O00
francs in 1913 to 246,375,3S5 francs
for last year.
The farmers in Martinique have
given preference to the production
of rum rather than sugar since this
latter product has been purchased
by the government at only one
franc per kilo (of 2.20 pounds /.
However, the trade in sugar again
has been declared free and 1t Is
expected that its production for
1920-21 will reach about 10000
tons.
During the war Martinique oh
tanned most of it's imports from
the United States, but purchases
there are now diminishing owing to
the unfavorable exchange rate on
America and also to the resump-
ton of industrial and agricultural
activities in France Many com
modities, with the exception Of
flour, expectation of which is for
hidden by the French government,
are now coming from France.
If the present prices of sugar
and rum continue, Martinique bus
mess men see ahead several years
of prosperity

BORAH PROPOSES
A 5-YEAR NAVAL
BUILDING TRUCE
Urges That U. S., England
and Japan Arrange to Cut
Building Program in Half
During That Period.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Rumored
Intentions Of Great Britain and
Japan 20 sock a tri-partite agree
ment with the United States for
limitation of warships building
programs came up today in con-
gress.
In the senate resolution was
offered by Senator Borah. repubIi-
can. Idaho, requesting the presi-
dent to seek an agreement with
those powers for a fiVeyear naval
building truce with construction
programs cut in half during that
period. 1t would, he said, develop
whether Great Britain and Japan
are sincere in the talk of reducing
ornaments"
Before the house naval commit
tee Secretary Daniels presented his
recommendation for naval con-
slruction with this comment;
II profoundly believe that the
United States cannot afford to take
"a five years holiday as it has been
rumored England and Japan will
suggest to this country.
1T would be a blunder. almost
a crime, for the United States to
enter into an alliance with any
two OF three nations either to sus-
pend or curtail naval building or
for any other purpose. 1t would
certainly make for suspicion among
the other nations"
Senator Borahs resolution went
to the foreign relations committee
without debate The Idaho sena-
tor said he would urge prompt ac-
ton.
The house naval committee pre-
pared to inquire into the relative
strength of the navies of the three
powers. 1t was informed by Ad-
miral Coontz, chief of naval opera
tions who accompanied Secretary
Daniels, that il all building were
suspended today the comparative
capital ship tonnage figures would
be. Great Britain, 864,600; United
states, 46S.000; Japan. 326. 900. The
officer was instructed to be ready
tomorrow to discuss in detail at an
executive session. the question of
relative strength. existing and pro-
jected.
Secretary Daniels told the COM
mittee he agreed entirely with Sen
ator Harding's recent statement at
Norfolk that the navy should be
commensurate with the nation 3
interests, reiterating his opinion
that it should be equal to any in
the world"
II wish we could have a world
agreement to settle disputes with
out recourse to arms" he added,
"but until that time comes and
comes surely, we ought to carry out
our naval building program"

Sheds are guod example"
tuGdr"u are tie arbIters of toy
kinds and style. They initiate what
they s"c abound them and toy
makers recognize this fact. The
manufacturer supplies what the
child wants by making n class of
objects which may be designated
as educational. Another class, i'm
itating things seen in real life. is
recognized as architectural. A
third has to do with trades and the
tools and machines for carrying
them on. A well defined group is
based on the use of musical instru-
ments. Boats, RATS, canoes and
such things as float and are useful
have been responsible for toys
based ON water craft.
Children are familiar with furni-
twrc ana they early recognize two
classes, one for the kitchen and
one for the living room, and these

Animals and birds and creeping
things form another class grouped
as natural history. Still another
kind which is very common belongs
in the class of games and amuae-
ments.
The waste problem in toy MAX
ing is not IA serious one, so says the
forestry association, because most
of the pieces used are small and
what does not do for one thing
will, as rule, do for something
else.

that he alone has authority to order
the arrest and expulsion of aliens
although the bureau of immigra-
ton has assumed to itself power
not only to make recommends
tons, but also to make findings.

with 237,02l the year before. OF
the total arrivals 1l,795 We're ex-

Mr.. Wilson says that during the
year $4,000 aliens took the initial

While this Is less than the record
total of the year before, Mr.. VIII
son says the decrease is confined

results from the rehabilitation OF

Ex-kING HEAVY WINNER
Greece Recalls Constantine to
Her Throne.
venizeIists Demand That Former
Monarch Abdieate in Favor
Of Son.

Athens-The plebiscite held Sunday
has shown an overwhelming majority
In favor of the return of former King
Constantine to the Greek throne.
In the face of the expressed opposi-
ton Of the Allied governments, the
question was put squarely to the pe0-
pie, and Indications prio1 to the bal
loting were that the Greeks would in
vite Constantine, who now is in Swift
zerland, to come back.
In the 6arbor of Piraeus, the port
OF Athens, important units of the
French and British navies are anchor
ed, ready for any emergency, while five
add.:.:s,onal British warships are sta
toned not far distant.
In political circles it was said that
the whole situation lay in the hands
Of Constantine, with any solution
possible.
The Venizelists were forecasting
that Constantine would receive heavy
complimentary vote in the plebiscite,
but that he would abdicate in favor
Of his son. Prince George. duke Of
Sparta.
The Venizelist organ PATHS has de-
manded Constantine's definite abdica-
ton, while other newspaper comment
takes q mournful note, to the effect
that the recent Allied NOTE means revi-
sion Of the Treaty of Sevres, with the
loss to Greece of Smyrna and Trace.

READY TO MAKE PEACE
Acting Sim Fein President Ask
rN;!aysr.
Lloyd George for Proposals.,
onsr Follows Suggestion by ROGER NJ.
sweetman, Irish Member
-, Of Parliament,

Dublin - The Reverend Michael
O'Flanagan, acting president Of the
Sinn-Fein has sent the following tele-
gram to Premier Lloyd George: You
state that you are willing to make
peace at once, without waiting for
Christmas. Ireland also is willing.
What first step do you propose?"
A Christmas truce in Ireland was
suggested by Roger N. Sweetman, a
S1nn-Fein member of Parliament, who
recently urged that advantage should
be taken of the English labor commits
s1on's visit to 1relaQd to bring about
conference between the commission
and the Irish labor party, the Irish
peace conference and the Catholic HER
archy to enlist all moderate opinion in
Ireland in support of Cardinal Logue's
appeal for "a truce for Cod" 80
Church Backs overtures.
There is a general sentiment, strong
~ backed by ecclesiastical influence,
tn favor OF truce, but there is no ex.
pectatton that any Slim Feiner OF an
authoritative position will be able to
meet the government on essential con-
,diitfons. Leading Sim :Feiners DENY
participation in the rumored negotta-
tions.
The Sim Fein organ says that the
governments repressive measures are
merely undertaken to force a compro-
mise, which must be resisted. Until
the eve Of Arthur, Henderson's visit to
Ireland, Griffith, MacNeill and other
reputed moderates were not molested.
They were then arrested and still
are held, the government allegation
against them being either culpable
ignorance in the employment of Dali
Eirean funds or knowledge that these
funds were being used by the Repub-
lican army to promote violence. This,
1t is pointed out, is considered incon-
sfstent with the governments desire
for truce.
Arthur Griffith, founder of the Sim
Fem, who is in prison, saw Mr. Hen
derson and issued this message to the
Irish people: To-day is Ireland's VAL
ley Forge; tomorrow will be Ireland's
