TO PREVENT FARM LOSSES

one-tenth Of the crops planted each
year in the United States are destroy.
ed or rendered worthless by insect
pests. 1t is sound business, therefore
to take advantage of every means,
both natural and artificial. that will
aid in reducing this enormous loss.
Much valuable work of this kind has
been done by the Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station and it is
still fresh in the memory of Missouri
wheat growers that the station saved
something like 100000 worth of
wheat in the hessian fly campaign in
the fall of 1916. A number of publ
cations dealing with insects have been
issued by the Station and at this time
OF year these are especially helpful to
the farmer in his fight against insect
damage. Bulletin ITO, Insect Pests
of Field Crops" and Bulletin 176,
Nursery and Orchard Insect Pests"
will prove valuable aids at this time
and may be obtained free from the
Missouri College of Agriculture, Col
umbia, Mo.
1t is timely also to note that by pro-
tecting the birds, toads and other nat
ural allies man can greatly strength
en- his defense against the bugs. In
bulletin ITO the author, DR.. Leonard
Haseman, says: while man is LONG
all he can to check insect damage he
should not lose sight of the good work
of his numerous friends. consisting of
large and small ground beetles and
their slender black grubs, parasitic
wasps and flies, blood-sucking bugs,
birds, toads and other insectivorous
animals. These, under normal condi-
lions, keep down most of the bests of
the crops without mans help, and
when man is obliged to lend a hand to
save his crop, he should do so prompt
ly and ungrudgingly."

MORTGAGE MONEY LACKING

The greatest single influence acting
in restraint of the hoped-for home
building era is to be found in the lack
Of mortgage money, according to
Clare W. Banta, vice-president of the
Wells Fargo-Nevada National Bank,
San Francisco. The knowledge of in
vestments gained by the people
through the Liberty Loans, which
causes mapy small investors to turn
from mortgages to investment securi-
ties, is another factor, says Banta,
and the Federal Income tax. which has
the same effect in diyerting funds, is
still another.

BEATING THE SQUEEZERS

A romance of high finance has just
come to a happy end, with our well
known fellow citizen, Henry Ford, in
the role of the hero.
1t is something more than six
months since the other automobile
wizard, Durant, got into difficulties
with his General Motors Company.
The business slump came, and Durant
found himself in great need of ready
cash, which was only Forthcoming
when Morgan and DUPONT came to the
rescue, and incidentally took the
company away from the said Durant.
During the recent winter, it sud-
denly dawned on Ford that he also
would need big credit pretty soon. In
ventory on his enormous stock of ma
terial showed heavy loss because pric-
es had fallen after he had purchased.
The farmer had been hit hard and sales
Of autos dwindled Big bills were
falling due. In the spring thirty five
millions must be paid for taxes, etc.
Ford's immense profits were tied up
in his great plants, in huge stocks of
materials, and he certainly didn't have
enough cash in hand.
Now arrives the ready little New
York financier. Oh, certainly, New
York's financial district would lend
Henry a hundred million! Henry
played with them a while and then
turned the proffer down; he wanted
to own the business himself for
while.
Well, things didn't pick up land
there was another offer. Ford hero
ically declined and then, in February,
sales started to be brisk. Faster and |
faster they came, and in March the |
Michigan Wizard sold $4,000 ma
chimes. This saved the day.
Henry will have enough cold cash |
this spring to pay his debts and all |
taxes. And hereafter, we opine, he'll
be careful to have plenty of coin ahead
for emergencies. ]

of giving worthless $50 check to
redeem his losses at poker and afraid
to summon his clansmen to his aid for
fear they would repudiate the leader

At least such was the story told by
Alayam to Floyd B. Olson, county at

might once more rally his tribesmen

itage Of his fathers.
Ten years ago Alayam, according to
the story he told Mr.. Olson, became
the king of his tribe in Armenia upon
the death of his father, Abu Alayam.
Abu had been strong ruler. He
had amassed lands and fortune. Dur
Ing his lifetime he had held at bay
the emissaries of the Turkish sultans
who had sought to despoil his lands.
Upon his death the Turks came.

Alayam was but a youth OF twenty
two Mt that time. Marauding Turks,
backed by the power of the Sultan,
seized upon the richest of his inheri-
tance. 1t was useless to resist their
strength by force. For money they
promised to release the farms Of his
fathers, so, gathering about fifty Of
his young men, Alayam came to Amer
ica, the land of fabled fortunes.
After the custom Of the Armenian
immigrants, Alayam was spokesman
for his tribesmen in the new land. II

A SCOUT is A FRIEND.

Frederick Hall of Troop 10, Bridge
port, Conn, proved himself a true
scout last winter by coming to the
aid Of young girl who was battling
against great odds in trying to feed,
clothe and keep roof over the heads
of herself and her four young broth
ers and sisters. Scout Hall, who sells
newspapers, read, as did many other
citizens Of Bridgeport, the story in
the morning paper Of Jane Grams,
difficulties but he didn't stop
with reading and saying "Dear
me, what a pity!" He got busy
in a practical way. He cut the
story from the newspaper, pasted
1t on cardboard box, cut a slot in the
box and started out, on house-to-
house campaign, showing the story
wherever he went.
All day he kept at his self-appoint-
ed task and at night brought $11.7O
in pennies. nickels and dimes, and a
few larger denominations into the
newspaper Office, announcing that 1t
was for Jane Cram and he hoped she
and her family wouldn't suffer any
more. Others took up the work where
the valiant scout led the way, and the
little family was relieved of its worst
plight.

uEeAcIEs FOR BOY SCOUTS.

Comm council to all the lawyers In

"The Hartford Council, Boy Scouts
of America, Inc, has to date been
the recipient of two bequests. We
arc Connecticut corporation without
capital stock and empowered to re-
ceive bequests, hold property, etc. It
Is probable that you, as an attorney,
will be requested at times to suggest
to clients who are making their wills
the name Of worthy charitable or
philanthropic movement which Is I'M

connection we feel that the Boy Scouts
Of America deserves your Endorsement"

movement is receiving this kind Of en-
dowment.

was through him that they hired out
for various occupations. A tithe of
their wages they gave to Alayam, who
boarded the money that he might go
back to ransom his kingdom from the
Turks.
Almost enough money was raised to
accomplish the purpose when the
world war came. Upon the heels of
news of the war came tidings of the
ravishing Of Armenia by the Turks.
Tales of the suffering of his country
men caused Alayam to abandon his
dream Of going back to his kingdom.
The money saved for that purpose he
sent overseas, contribution to the
Armenian relief funds. Many of his
colonists returned to enlist as soldiers
to fight against the Turks. The rest
were scattered.
Still those who remained continued
to give part Of their wages to Ala
yam and he stayed on in this country,
feeling that the money he could raise
here would be of more value to his
countrymen than his presence In Ar
menia as common soldier.
Turns to Gambling.
The end of the war was also the end
Of Alayam's resources. SO many of
his colonists had gone back to Arme-
MIA that the contributions of the re-
naming were scarcely enough to af-
ford their chieftain living. Desper-
ate at the thought that return to his
fatherland might never be realized,
Alayam began to gamble. seeking, he
told Mr.. Olson. to multiply the tithes
of his colonists into the fortune he
needed.
But Instead Of winning Alayam lost.
With money gone he gave a worthless
check for $50 for last stack of chips
and those, too. were lost. Alayam was
arrested.
In his plea to the county attorney
Alayam begged for recommendation
Of probation. He could call his follow
ers together then, he said. and would
depart with them for their old home
In Armenia. Even without money
Alayam was confident he could rally
his fathers tribesmen and, with the
power Of Turkey weakened, regain
again his heritage.
