small and dainty. And Spring gave II
cup.
Off flew the messenger, twittering
with joy and pride But when it was
far north it saw bit of bright blue
high in the air. That was where the
blue sky, impatiently waiting for the
deliverance of the SAD old King, had
torn away just tiny corner of cloud
and was looking down slyly.
"Oh, beautiful skyp cried the little
bird. 81 know that should not stop,
but I must look at you and sing just
a moment"
And it sang. The green cup fell to
earth. and became blue as the sky.
So did the little bird. That is why
the bluebirds always come ahead OF
Spring now and why the iris is SO
blue and beautiful early in the year.
ssThere is none left now little
Spring. to bear the great message,
said the Sun sadly. "There is none
left now, and the old King must live
on and rule the world"
do you think that j could bear the
great message?" asked low voice.
1t was woman.
.'You?" said the Sun. You are
weak and not brave and strong like
the man, or mighty like white tiger,
or swift like the eagle. What could
you do, when they have failed?"
s.Let her try" said Spring. And
she formed another green cup and
kissed it and gave it to woman.
Woman departed full of fear. She
did not run like the man or sing like
the bird. But, since she was afraid
and humble, she prayed.
Weeping and bleeding, she came at
last to the palace where the sad, old
white King sat waiting. And when
tbe woman appeared in the portals
with the green cup, all the gray geese
and the white ermines set up a cry
that echoed through the world. II
was like glaciers rolling headlong into
the sounding sea; it was like ava
lanches shivering below; it was like
the southern storms that break the
ice: it was like grinding bergs and
shattering foes.
That is the cry that rings around
the world every year now, and when
men hear it they say: "Winter is
breaking up"
The old white King arose with a
glad face and reached his wrinkIed
hand out for the green cup. He
pressed it to his face and inhaled the
smell of the growing thing. And in
moment it turned white-snow
white.
So the Easter lily became white
And whenever the world is waiting
for a great message, all things are
well if woman bears it.

AMPLE PROVISIONS
FOR CONFERENCE

Arrangements are being made in
Washington for the accommodation
of the ornaments conference in two
large public halls. The initial meet
ings, and many of the others that will
follow; will be held in Continental
Hall, the national headquarters of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton. Alterations are being COM
pleted to permit of the seating of the
delegates about a special horseshoe
shaped table, comfort for represen-
tativesfof the press, and provision for
the general public. The extent of
the preparations indicates that many
public meetings will be held, enabl-
ing the world to keep in close touch
with what is transpiring. The ex-
ecutive sessions of the conference, as
well as the committee meetings, will
take place in the Pan American build
ing, next door to Continental Hall.
1t is, Of course, essential that many
of the frank exchanges of view shall
be behind closed doors, otherwise the
conference might end in failure!

Milk Campaign

An intensive milk and Alfalfa
campaign, starting on October 26
and running for ten days, is to be
held in Allegan county under the
direction of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College. Greater profits in
dairying, through more efficient pro-
duction, will be the aim Of the cam
paign work.
Valuable information to serve as a
guide in planning similar work in
other parts of the state will be gain
ed from the campaign, according to
college men in charge Of the project.
Practical results, including the or
ganization Of COW testing and bull
associations, and the actual placing
Of orders for alfalfa seed, lime, and
commercial fertilizers will be sought.
Details of the "model campaign"
show that every part of Allegan
county will be reached. Ten divis-
ions, one for each day of the cam
paign, have been made. Ten or
twelve neighborhood meetings will be
held in each, with roundup meet
ing at some central point in the even
ing. In this way every farmer in
the county will be able to get the

Great Crop Saving

Great saving for crop growers OF
the state, especially for orchardists
will follow burning rubbish heaps al
this season of the year, according to
Prof. r. H. Petit, head of the enty.
mology department at the Michigan
Agricultural College. ENORMOUS
quantities of harmful insects are said
to find protection under fallen leaves
and other rubbish during the winter
and destruction during the fall will
save heavy losses in the following
season.
These insects spend the winter as
adults and emerge early in the spring
to begin serious destruction at once.
While they can be controlled COM
paratively easily now by destruction
of the rubbish under which they have
been shown to find protection, con-
troll measures at other seasons are
difficult and expensive. Indian Sum-
mer is given as a good time for the
work, while spraying oil over the
rubbish to aid burning is recommend
ed in many cases.
"Results of careful removal in the
past have been astonishing in the
amount of expensive prevention saw
ed at other reasons" says Professor
Petit. Zone insect killed now will
mean thousands less next Summer.
Leaves, especially from broad leaf
trees such as oaks and naples, are
the worst rubbish for harboring the
pests. Winter examination has shown
shavings and straw to be of less i'm
portance."
Among the important insects
which can be controlled in this way
are: Chinch-Bugs, troublesome in
southern part of the state last year,
(they hibernate in tussocks of grass,
under leaves, and along fence rows,
especially where brush has caught
the leaves); Grape Leaf Hoppers; Po-
tato Leaf-Hoppers (Which cause Tip
Burn of potatoes); Strawberry
Weevils; Black Stink Bugs of squash !;
Plum Curculio; and the furnished
Plant Bug.
Grape Leaf-Hoppers are mention
ed as among the most important in
sects to control in the fall, because
last years damage was the greatest
ever known from the pests. Wher-
ever grapes are grown, and where
Chinch-Bugs are working, precautions
are particularly important.

TOO MUCH BoLSHEVIsM

According to men who have given
close study to conditions in Mexico,
the trouble in that country is closely
related to the difficulties in Russia.
The right to property has practically
disappeared, and, as a consequence,
most of the incentive to cultivate the
land has gone. The radical consti-
tuition of Mexico has brought about
a communistic situation that is wreck
ing the country. Until that condi-
ton is relieved there can be little
inducement for American capital to
go there, or for the United States to
extend official recognition to Mexico.

ers. About $1,000 men have been
kept in Germany for almost three
years. Under the Versailles treaty
Germany agreed to pay the expenses
of the allied armies of occupation
and the American bill on that account
now amounts to about 100000, 900.
Collection of that huge sum is very
dubious, to say the least. Most of
that sum represents additional ex-
pense put upon the country by the re-
fusal of the Wilson administration to
permit the prompt conclusion of peace
between the United States and Ger
many.

Law Endorsements

A movement has been started in New
York City to eliminate from moving
picture and other theatres films that
hold UP the prohibition law to ridi
cule, jokes at the expense of that law
and derisive remarks concerning those
charged with its enforcement. Man
ayers of theaters and movie houses
are to be invited to conference look
ing to action that will 'inculcate re;
spect for the Constitution" The sug
gestion is well timed. Regardless of
the merits of the prohibition amend.
ments to the Constitution, and of the
laws based upon it, they should be
enforced until amended or repealed.
Relief from an obnoxious statute is not
to be obtained in its violation Strict
enforcement is the surest way to bring
home to the public whether they want
the law continued in force or repealed.
If the decision is adverse it is an easy
matter to elect Members of Congress
who will enact the necessary correc-
tive legislation. Just at present the
prohibition laws have precisely the
same status in our criminal code as
the laws against murder, robbery, and
arson Z The officers Of the law are
charged with the equal duty of en-
forcing them all, and it is the duty
of every citizen to lend his aid in
preventing violations.

Short Course Offered

A special winter short course in
general agriculture opened at the
Michigan Agricultural College on
Oct. 81 and run for sixteen weeks.
Practical training for the man who
contemplates taking up farming and
also for, those who are already man
aging or working on a farm is given
in the course, which makes use of
all the agricultural equipment at the
college.
There are no entrance require
ments for admission to the short
courses, but a good common school
education is advised for those who
would get the most from the instruc-
ton given. All courses in the Win
ter School are open to both men and
women of 16 years Of age or over.
More than a dozen different
special short courses in agriculture
will be held at the college during the
winter. In addition to the Sixteen
Weeks General Course, which opens
Oct. 81, these are scheduled: Four
weeks Truck and Tractor Course,
Nov. %, Dec. %; Cow Testing and
Dairy Barn Management, two weeks,
Dec. 5, Dec. 16; General Agriculture,
Dairy Manufactures, Dairy Produc-
ton, Horticulture, Farm Engineer
ing, and Farm Business Courses (all
eight weeks) Jan. 2, March 2; Poul-
try Husbandry, Nov. %, Dec. % /;

MORE STUDENTS IN COLLEGE

Forty-two of the leading uiversit'
les and colleges in the United States
show an enrolment for the academic
year 1921 of 1877 ,447, compared with
154, $40 for 1920, or an increase OF
32,637-21 per cent. Columbia Uni
versity tops the list in total enroll
ment as we'll as increase, the enroll
ment for 1920 being 22,678 and 25,-
095 for 1921, an increase of 2,417.
Four other universities record an
enrolment exceeding 10000 for
both years, and increases for 1921.
They are California, 10,424, Univers-
ity of Michigan, (Ann Arbor) 1924,
College of the City of New York,
12,OO1, and the University of Penn
sylvania, 12,421. The college of di-
plomacy and Jurisprudence of the
American University, Washington, D.
c., has increased it's enrolment more
than 100 per cent over last year,
while the foreign service school of
Georgetown shows a large increase,
indicating the increasing interest be-
ing taken in these subjects.
One explanation given for this
large increase in enrolment in insti-
tutions of higher education is that
the value of such education is being
recognized as never before, while
army life is said to have had much to
do with impressing this upon the pub
lie mind. The value of a trained
mind, the era of specialization, and
the necessity of mastering some def
mite field of knowledge are making
their appeal. Payson Smith, Com
missioner of Education for Massa-
chusetts, attributes some of the in
creased enrolment to the industrial
depression which has given oppor-
tunity to many men and women to
put in year Of study, while the diff
Guilty of getting desirable jobs has
induced many others to prepare them
selves for even better ones.
One of the admirable factors which
is disclosed is the increasing number
of students who are pursuing sub
jects included in the field of politi-
cal science-governme and politics
and the study of the Federal Con-
stitution and the laws growing out
of the powers conferred or reserved
by that document. This can not fail
to create greater loyalty to the
American charter and a sentiment
sternly opposed to the red doctrines
which have taken root in many sec
lions of the country.

NO PUBLICITY FOR BETTING

Congressman Joseph Walsh OF
Massachusetts, is the author of an
amendment to the bill amending GER
tain sections of the Federal criminal
code that would make it unlawful to
deposit in the mails any newspaper,
post card, letter, or other written or
printed matter containing any in
formation or odds on bets on horse
races, prize fights, or any other con-
test. Mr.. Walsh is convinced of the
need of such legislation in the inter-
ests of the general morals of the
community. After he had made a
vigorous speech to his colleagues in
it's advocacy, the amendment was
adopted, and the bill was passed. The
measure now goes to the Senate for
its consideration.
