Another Bug

AsTexas farmer thinks he has dis
covered bug which follows the boil
weevil into cotton boil punctures
and drives him out. The find" is
being heralded as the possible sal
yation of the cotton industry, and
of course. investigations are to be
made to see whether this new in
sect apparently designed by nature
to police cotton fields, can be raised
In large numbers and set to work.
Alfalfa men. fruit men and others
troubled with insects are looking on
interestedly. They think, perhaps.
that the cousins of this bug may be
drafted into their service afterward.
But it will be very wise if man
pauses before he goes far with this
development of a new insect. Per-
haps, like the bees introduced into
the South Sea Islands to spread
pollen, he will develop, in error, a
pest. Perhaps. like the flock of
inspectors hired by the government
to protect us against the cost-plus
protiteers in war time and then dis
covered to be none other than a
new race of tax eaters. the bug ex-
perts Will find the new arrival lives
on some other part of the cotton
plant. He must live on some,
obviously. Maybe we'd better
stop the celebration until we learn
all the facts.-Exchange.

EX- GOVERNOR BILB0
FOR SEN. vARDAMAh
He Will Speak at the Jackson
Rally Sept. 20.

The announcement by a commit
tee on arrangements for the Varda-
man rally scheduled to take place in
Jackson Sept. 20, that Ex-Gov.
Theo. @. Bilbo would be one of the
speakers on the occasion has been
the subject of much comment, but
has been received as a matter of
course by those on the inside Of
state factional politics.
Gov. Bilbo extensively advertised
as a candidate against Nardaman
on the condition that he would be
given an open field against Varda
man alone and when Mr.. Stevens
announced as a candidate Mr.. Bilbo
declared he was himself out of the
race. He said he would haye run
with Miss Belle Kearney only in
the race as the outsider Speaking
of the coming rally Gov. BilbO
stated that he wopld be on the
speaking programme and would de-
clare for Vardaman. Referring to
his recent political maneuvers
against Vardaman, he said that
was merely family affair and was
simply the crossing of the ambi-
tions of two men of the same polit-
ical faction. He would not, he
said, lend himself to any move
ment to beat Vardaman by posi-
bly, throwing the senatorship TO the
other faction.
There are some emong the politi-
cal prophets who predict that, if
Vardaman is elected, Bilbo viii go
in against Pat Harrison.
The Vardaman rally will of course
be the beginning of a statewide or
ganization of the friends of his can
didacy, and it seems to foreshadow
an active and aggressive campaign

probably contemplated trained po-
litical speakers will be put on the

many of the prominent Vardaman
men who broke with him on his
war policies and voted for Harrison
are returning to his standard on
the ground that the war issues are
now dead and that new and live is
sues have taken their place.
Mr.. Stevens has already declared
that he will make a whirlwind can

the merchant consequently return

Blush On, If You Can.

In past years the men who went to
conventions could, il they would, do
something besides talk. Now there
is nothing to do between meals but
speak words. So there is more talk
at conventions, and some OF it seems
looser than in the old days.
For instance, speaker at a con-
vention of life insurance actuaries
rises to enliven the proceedings. A
young man, he says, who bushes in
the presence of his beloved is a poor
risk, as the blushing indicates that
he has a high blood pressure.
We knew that the life insurance
men had a lot to learn about blood
pressure, but that one of them should
be so ignorant about blushing is
startling. Blushing, we must explain
to the many thousands Of young per-
sons who have never seen anybody
blush, is the suffusion of the cheek
with blood consequent upon confu-
sion, modesty or shame. 1t is one Of
the diseases of the Victorian era.
Blushing indicates that the brain,
startled by something embarrassing,
fiattering or wicked, summons the
heart to support 1t with an extra sup
ply of the vital fluid. The young peo-
pie who still blush have good arteries
with thin, resilient walls. That Is
why the blood is able to bound almost
instantly from heart to cheek. Your
old cynic, who has spent his summers
at the beaches and whose arteries are
getting as hard as PHARAoH's heart,
cannot blush.
What is more, 1t was rather useless
to tell convention Of actuaries about
blushing. Actuaries blush only when
they are unable to make decimal
points dance the Quadrille In field
of numerals; and that is never.

G. Wood would have US believe that

This question hinges directly upon q

Save the Milk Bottles.
One Way to Keep the Price Of Milk
From Rising in the City.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The pub
lie Is watching the results of an amend
ment to the Sanitary Code prohibiting
the placing Of empty bottles, cans or
other receptacles holding milk in places
where they may be contaminated. vio-
lation OF the amendment Is a misde-
meanor, punishable by a fne OF $500 or
year in prison.
The public's interest in the matter is
economic. of course, for It is asserted
that the saving in bottles will be re-
dected In the price OF milk. A few
years ago commission investigating
the waste of milk bottles in the large
cities found that the annual loss on
bottles amounted to q large sum. It
Is only reasonable to believe. therefore,
that the price of milk could be re-
duced IL this loss could be deducted
from the cost of distribution.
Small boys no doubt will find II
rather difficult to stop putting the bot
ties in row and throwing stones at
them for amusement Perhaps their
parents might convince them It's an ex-
pensive pastine. CONSUMER

Fish Neckwear Novelties.

AS a seasonable fashion note 1t
may be mentioned that the trout
in some of the Pennsylvania streams
are wearing celluloid collars, both
white and colored, this spring. The
speckled beauty which CHARLES WID-
AER, the Stroudsburg barber, caught
in the Brodheads, one of the best
trout streams in Monroe county, wore
a pink celluloid collar neatly adjusted
just back of the gills. Plain white
was the collar worn by the trout
which CHARLES BOND, the textile ex-
pert, caught In the same stream.
Naturally, these facts are attested by
unimpeachable witnesses. Besides,
they were printed in the paper, the
Stroudsburg Record and Tinses-D en-
ocrdt, which ought to settle it.
And right here 1t may be as well
to have it clearly understood that
there Is not a county in all Pennsyl-
vania wherein the prohibition laws
are more rigidly enforced than they
are in Monroe.
Those Monroe county fish wore the
collars, that's alone a pink cellu-
loid collar and the other a white
celluloid collar. OF course If it had
bee1 said that it was linen standup
collars the trout wore, or even soft
cloth or silk collars, there might have
been room for suggesting that error
or exuberant joy Of outdoors has
been known to lurk in even "a fish
story. But they were not cloth, silk,
or linen collars these Monroe county
trout were wearing when caught.
They were celluloid collars, just the
kind trout would be expected to
wear in the damp surroundings where
he lives. And there Is no mystery
about where these Brodheads trout
get their celluloid haberdashery.
There Is celluloid factory right on
the bank of the stream. It's waste,
including celluloid rings, gets into the
water. Then along comes the trout,
picks out ring of the color that
suits his complexion, thrusts his head
through it, settles it comfortably un-
der his chin gills, and-well, there
you are!
That is the explanation they are
giving out in Monroe county. or
course you can take it, swallow it
hook, line and sinker, or just sniff
around it and leave it. But there are
CHARLES BOND, the textile expert, and
CHARLES WIDMER, the barber, and the
Stroudsburg Record and Ttmes-D en-
ocrat ready at any time to take the
witness stand. Besides, everybody
knows that trout have an eye for
bright colors or they would not be
forever swapping at Kaleidoscope
artificial flies. Moreover-but, oh,
bother, what's the use? The fish story
season had to open somewhere and
1t might as well be out Stroudsburg
way as anywhere else.

Hope for Our Polo Team.

With THOMAS HITCHCOCK, Sr., Fox
HALL P. KEENE and other Ameri-
can polo experts at Roehampton to
encourage and advise our men, there
should be an Improvement in the
play and morale of the team which
on June Is will face England's best
for the international trophy.
The fact that the Americans were
outplayed few days ago by a scratch
team while their rivals scored In
mastery fashion over the Woodpeck-
ers at Ranelagh looks ominous, but
it may not be as bad as it looks.
The methods of the Americans on
that occasion have been condemned
by their own friends, who maintain
that no attempt was made to tighten
their defences. 1t was shown that
some of the team, notably DEvEREUx
MuBURN, were out of form. Team
play would seem to be the solution of
such a problem.
Americans play strong, rushing
game with little defence, depending
upon hard hitting and accuracy for
scoring. Their method is to get the
ball down the field through long
shots. Under favorable conditions this
game is hard to overcome. but with
loose and weak hitting such as char
acterized Mn.BURN's on the day under
discussion it affords an opportunity
for clever opponent to intercept the
ball and force the play into the en-
emy's field. This is what BUcKMAs-
TER, who is now regarded as a cer-
tainty on the English team, most
effectively did.
1t is only fair to MnBURN to say
that he has been suffering from boils
under his arm and this would explain
why his drives were falling 30 to 40
feet short OF their usual length.
English critics give HOPPING credit
for the best game among the Ameri.
cans OF late and the wisdom OF select
ing him for the team is conceded.
1t is rather discouraging to learn
that the American ponies are showing
the result OF the heavy practice play.
These smart little animals are in capa-
BILE hands, however, and much can be
done between now and the day OF the
first match, which is full two weeks
of. HENRY V. Corr of Geneseo, who
knows as much abont conditioning a
polo mount or hunter as anybody in
this country, is in the American camp
and his advice should be invaluable.
Both THOMAS HIToHcocK, Sr., and
FoxHALL p. KEENE have ridden and
trained their own steeplechasers, polo
mounts and hunters in the days when
Meadow Brook. Cedarhurst and Pei.
ham were names to conjure with in
the world of amateur sports. They
ought to be helpful also in such an
emergency.
Should the American team be
beaten in the coming match there
would appear to be promise of good
material for the next international
match in the ranks OF the army. Polo
is now being played at every army
post throughout the United States and
the standard OF horsemanship is I'M
proving as rapidly as the quality OF
the polo mounts, which are being re-
cruited from the Federal studs. All
