IN MEMORY OF EMERY LODGE.

The trustees of Emery Lodge, |. 0.
G. T., of this city, which has for sew
eral years been extinct as an active
body, contracted with F. M. Funk of
Dodgeville for the erection of me-
mortal monument of the defunct organ
ization. The memorial chosen was the
largest in stock, weighing over 5000
pounds 1t will be of granite, and to
the memory of the intuition and those
members who founded it. The under
standing is that the monument will be
erected in a down town section.
The above was found possible after
donating the real estate known as 1.-THE
Good Templar Hall" to the American
Legion, No 10. as a memorial to those
who sacrificed their lives in the world
war, and all debts paid, as the trustees
discovered they then had about $1,000
on hand.
J. P. Hawkins, Alonzo Jacka and W.
S. Martin were the trustees, the first
named member being the treasurer.

prophecy from representatives of the
government in Chile, Argentine and
Uruguay that prohibition Will be es-
tablished there within five years.
South America is watching closely the
effect of the prohibtory law in the
United States, both in its social and
its economic aspects. Nothing but
complete failure here could prevent
the enactment of similar legislation
there and there is no thought of fail
ure, either in the minds of the South
American temperance workers, or here.
Indicative of public opinion towards
prohibition is the attitude Of the gov
ernments and of educators of the high
est rank towards the cause. Because
of this sympathy the teaching of
scientific temperance is included in the
curriculum of the schools, for which
teachers are trained in the normal
schools To meet the question of
economic loss the government of Chile
has already instituted a program Of
propaganda to teach the value of
grape culture for other purposes than
the making of alcoholic beverages and
is advocating legislation to provide fl

Dear Old Mineral Point"

the condition of this sacred spot.
My father and mother and three
brothers are sleeping there, but, if |

plead that something be done, for it IS
the resting place of our dear old friends

My father, John McNair, helped to
prepare the grave for the first man
buried there.
Now | notice that offers are made to
help raise fund to change conditions,
and hope this matter may be brought
before the citizens, feeling sure that
friends of those who rest there will be
willing to help, and surely the city will

Chilean Students
In u. S. Colleges

Six young people Of Chile, three
young men and three young women,
are being sent by the Chilean govern
ment to tie Taited States to spend
four years in American colleges.
Their mission is to study the educa-
tional system Of the Omitted States, par
tlcularly as it concerns higher educa-
ton, and to Investigate The effects,
economic and physical, Of the pro-
hbition of the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic beverages.
Chile is very near the enactment
of a law similar to the Eighteenth
amendment 10 the United States. con-
stluution, waiting only for little
further observation OF the result II
the prohlbitory law here, end TO de-
velop a little more assurance in the
minds Of those engaged in the wine
industry that grapes may be grown
with profit without the liquor indus
try. Both government officials and
educators are lined up strongly for
prohibition, and the prophecy IS that
another five years will see Chile dry.
The young students who are being
financed here by their government are
being placed in different parts Of the
country, under different environment
and il is expected that their obserya-
tions viii be useful IN helping Chile
to come TO a clear understanding of
the effects Of prohibition on the I'M
dustrial and social life Of the people
and upon the public health. The
three young women have been placed
in the special charge of Miss Anna A.
Gordon, president Of the w. @. T. U.

casts aside the stalk in which they are deeply

produce more eggs, which mean more caterplllars

Killing the Enemies of Cotton
The boil weevil also, bug-a-boo Of the cotton
planter, has been put on the enemy list OF the
American government Brig.-Gen. Amos Fries,
chief Of the chemical warfare services Of the
army, is now directing gas campaign against
the pestiferous enemy IN several parts OF the
South. The total destruction of this worm would
he a boon to rasers of foodstuffs, for it annually
causes great loss in corn tomatoes, tobacco beans
and alfalfa crops. The bollworm, which differs
q hit from the weevil except in its prodigious
snnetite. will also be slaughtered to make an
American bumper crop 1t and the weevil can
also be destroyed by busting the well-advanced
plsnt with calcium arsenate.
But the gas attack by no means ends in the

the gas Is used to make that none Of the

How the Corn BOrer Destroys Crops

how dangerous the corn borer Is may be
Judged from the following description contained
in a leahet sent broadcast in its campaign Of
publicity by the United States Department Of
Agriculture:
~The European corn borer probably Is the
most injurious plant pest that has yet been intro
Succd into this country. Unless repressed and
restricted It may spread throughout the country
and cause serious and widespread losses to the
son crop.

Cyanide for the Japanese Beetle

Still another method was found quite efYiea-
eious in fighting the Japanese beetle which made
its way into the state Of New Jersey some years
ago and still remains in aggregated parts. After
closely studying its diet the experts of the United
States Department Of Agriculture determined
that sodium cyanide would be good dose for n
to masticate. So it prepared huge tanks Of Tia
mixture and sprinkled the infected fields. ThA
deadly compound soaked its way deep into thu
soil and completely destroyed every one Of tia
pests that came into its path.
There are some new pests that will be varred
against along with the oldtime opponents Of the
farmer. The scientists have just discovered that
there is a bad little girl in the Gladly bug fam
lily, a genus regarded as harmless. This little
girl is the Mexican bean beetle She few across

penetrates 70 the very centre OF the bales and
wipes out all life that might be there concealed.
The use Of the fame throwers is quite popu-
lar among the farmers Of the country. In some
respects, they assert it is better than the gas.
They declare that when the flame consumes the
stubble and the other waste Of the harvested and
unploughed field it manufactures lime and potash
which, returned to the soil, greatly enriches it
1t has the same effect as a forest FIRE that con.
sumes the leaves of years and thereby gives q
better start to the seeds Of the future
The efficacy of this method was strikingly
demonstrated in Massachusetts, just outside Bos-
ton where a tract Of ground comprising 800
square miles had been laid waste by the ravages
of the corn borer. An oil-burning multiple torch
was then used Now, however, in the various
parts of the continent, the perfect fame thrower
has been brought into play with the same men
directing them who did the work in France
against Germans.
Live steam has also been found to be an effec-
tive weapon against pests Of various kinds. Just
after the harvest early in the spring all Of the
dead stuff on the farmland is gathered into heaps
and covered with heavy canvass Live steam
from a steam protector Is then sent under the
canvass and the turkish bath" proves too much
for the pests.
