Wool Unstable; Make Comforts.


U. s. Department Of Agriculture reader.l
The fact that much wool has proved
unstable except at a loss has caused
many farm women to consider the
home utilization Of some of the wool
on hand. 4 few months ago home
demonstration agent from the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the state agricultural college gave a
demonstration on the washing and
carding of wool for comforters at 8
club meeting in Silverdale community,
Kitsap County. Washington. As q re
suit women all over the county have
become interested in making wool com
forters. and it seems as IL there would
be enough made to supply an entire
future generation. Flour and sugal
sacks have been found excellent fol
interlining these warm c0nlfOrters.

New Orleans Gets Convention.

view OTlCdH1 0SAx AOuVeuIlOue
The selection Of New Orleans as the
city to hold the next annual convention
Of the American Legion will be hailed
with pride and joy by all Louisianians.
The following, extracted from Tues
days Shreveport Times, gives an &C
count Of the stiff battle between the
two contesting cities at the convention
held at Kansas City, Mo-, this week.
!. New Orleans was unanimously
selected as the 1922 convention city Of
the American Legion by the third
annual convention in special night
session here
"A stiff fight which New Orleans
won by but 26 votes, preceded the
unanimous selection, with San Fran
cisco the contender. The official ballot
was 53S for New Orleans and 512 for
San Francisco.
y" New Orleans was urged on the
grounds that the South needs the con-
vention to stimulate the American
Legion. The floor fight was led by
John D. Ewing and 7. Semmes
Walmsley, the latter making the princi-
pal speech Of the contest for the honor.
The selection Of New Orleans
means that for five days New Orleans
will be host to more than 100000 war
veterans in the last week of October,
1922. Formerly the conventions have
been held in three days. but by de-
cision Of the convention tonight future
conventions will last for five days, one
Of which will be devoted to division
and regfnental reunions, one to pa
rades and like features and the other
three to the business Of the American
Legion. ss4
For a time, it appeared that New
Orleans had lost the coveted conyen-
tion when Mr.. Walmsley, parliament
tartan for the Louisiana delegation,
lost strategic advantage by motion
to table q California motion being
voted down. Immediately the com.
mittee report was brought In favorable
to New Orleans A motion to substi-
| tute was made from the California
delegation. Walmsley moved 1t to be
tabled. He lost. However, the voting.
after prolonged flO0r speeches in which
Louisiana's claims were supported by
Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Texas
and other southern states, gave to the
Crescent City the victory.
Tie Legion convention in the
South will cement the great feeling
that has grown up between the North
and the South said Mr.. Walmsley In
presenting the claims Of New Orleans
to the Legion.
We are ready for. the American
Legion. We have the facilities, our
people want you. You must come
The motion to make the decision
unanimous came from the Californian
delegation.
Earl David Beatty, first sea lord
Of Great Britain, received such a
demonstration and ovation from the
American Legion convention as no man
has ever before received tonight when
he made his speech to the Legionaires.
The cheering lasted for from FIVE to
fifteen minutes ut a time and broke
out several times during the course Of
the admiral's talk
To-night's session. featured by the
selection of New Orleans for the 1922
convention, was otherwise distinctly
navy night. Admiral Rodney, Y. s.. n,
accompanied Earl Beatty and likewise
received a wild demonstration. Ad-
iniral Koontz was not present, but Mrs
Koontz was accorded his honors"

Travels 1000 Miles to School.
rom Ruston Leade, of October 27th.1

From RuStOn LeGder OF october 21tn.J
Travelling 10000 miles to attend
Louisiana State University was the ex-
perience Of G. N. Annaiya, G. p. Uplap
and r. G. Paphye who have enrolled at
young men sailed from India during the
summer, and came by way OF the old
India trade route, which was used by
Portugal during the early period before
the discovery of America in 1892.
They have enrolled in the sugar course
and are doing postgraduate work, they
being graduates Of the leading univer-
sites Of India.
Mr.. Annaiya was surprised to see the
difference in instruction in the two
schools. In India,'' he says, We
have different system altogether
We are given monthly examinations
but are not given any credit for them.
It is only the final examination, which
covers the work of the entire course
that credit is given on. Only 30 per
cent Of the students graduate under
this system of education. For $73 one
can easily 60 through session at the
University Of Mysore, but here it takes
much every month.
What marveled Mr.. Annaiya most is
the present tendency Of the gentler
sex. In his country" he says, !" the
women completely cover their bodies,
including their feet, hands and head,
leaving only small part Of their faces
exposed. They are never ridiculed in
joke or otherwise
MFR. Annaiya, who is "a years Of age,
has been married for six months, but
has not vet gone through with the final
ceremony. His wife is IA years old.
His marriage was arranged by the
parents on both sides and they are now
fitting themselves to each other Her
parents are training her in arts and
| music SO that she will make suitable
companion for him. Everything Is
looked after by the parents and they
are educated and trained to develop
whatever is lacking In either Of the
contracting parties. He will not be
finally married until his return tG
India after the completion Of his
course, which will be four years hence
Should child be born Of this union
his mother will name 1t. As there i
no family meme to follow, this child
will be given any name his mother may
wish to give it. The first initial tt
represent the place Of residence, ant
the second representing the family des
cendants, there being in reality onl,
one name.
India is a country 1900 miles Ions
and 1900 miles wide, and has a popula
ton of 35OOOO,OOO people. The aver
age wages are 25 cents per day. TIL,
India government has sent them her,
to learn the sugar business. Whel
they return they will supervise ant
promote their native pursuits in thi
line. They are allowed $3.50 pc
session.

COLORADO CORN ROOT R0RER
DOING SOME DAMAGE IN
EBERT COUNTY.

A short time hso attention was
called to County Agent Aicher, of
some unknown pest doing consider
able damage to corn in the Geld of
Hans Hansen in the Fondis locality.
An investigation was made by the
County Agent and a few farmers
in that locality, and small grub
was found to be working on the
roots of the corn. This grub
causes. the rotting of the corn roofs
which results in the dying and fall
ing over of the corn stalks. Sew
eral of the corn roots along with
the grubs were sent TO the Ento-
melogy department of <Ls state
Agricultural college for further a.
vestigation. The report from C.
IP. Gillette, State Entomologist, was
that the rotting OF the roots was

THE WAVE OF LAwIEssNEss

Half of the space in the metro
poIitan newspapers today is used to
report robberies, hold-ups,. murders,
suicides and family troubles of var-
ious kinds. In leading San Fran
cisco daily the life history of one OF
the most noted recent train robbers
is being run in sensational form
tendinf to make martyr out OF the
man and idolize him in the eys OF
the youth of the land.
A recent report of hold-up OF
two women in San Francisco says.
II hate to do it, lady. but | am up
against it. Give me work and
wont have to rob. If you scream
y will shoot" The general impress
sion left in the readers mind after
reading the story is that it was nee
essary for a gentleman highwayman
to get money in this manner
The paper in various cities Are
full of similar instances. What 's
the remedy for this condition? Most
of these robberies and cases of law
breaking are due to standards OF
living which have been develops d
beyond the means of the individual
to satisfy. Too many persons drew
more money during the inflated
war wage period, than theye will
ever be able to earn through their
ability or skill Preachers of dis
content have tried to make mil
lions believe that they are entitled
to living from some other mans
work.
1t is this false reasoning which
must be knocked out of the minds
of thousands of criminals and would
be criminals before the present era
of crime can be curbed.

due to this white grub which Is
known as the Colorado Corn Root
Borer Following is a brief his
tory of the life cycle of this insect.
as given by Mr.. Gillette.
The adult insect is small,
striped beetle very closely resembl-
ing the striped cucumber beetle of
the Middle and Eastern States.
Those beetles deposit their eggs at
the bases of the corn stalks in the
fall and the little grubs appear in
the ground the following spring
and summer to attack the corn pro-
vided corn is planted on the grounl ]
where corn was planted the year he
fore. Otherwise there is no troub-
lie from this insect. There is no
other remedy worth mentioning ex-
cept that of not planting corn on
the same ground two or more years
in succession"
The field mentioned above has
been in corn for three years. A
patch of corn growing along side
this infested field, which was in
beans last year is not being bothered
with the borer, SO this is a very
good demonstration that rotation CT
crops will beat the Colorado Corn
Root Borer.
