Productive Guam.

Incident to his 1920 census, Uncle
Sam has found that our island pos
session, Guam. produces from its 225
square miles, with its population of
1925 native. 1.140924 pounds Of
copra for export to the United States
and 851,680 pounds to Japan.
The live stock on the island In
cludes 6,149 water buffalo, 4,357
horses, 1,160 goats, SAB hogs and 70
cattle. Corn, sweet potatoes, taro,
vans, tobacco. cassava, rice, arrowroot
and sugar, are included among the
field crops. Coeonuts, bananas, pine
apples. papaya, cacao, lines, mangoes,
grapefruit and even alligator pears
constitute the food-producing trees
and plants.
Whereas, there are 1862 males to
100 females In the United States, there
are 95.7 males to 100 females in
Guam. Some All per cent Of the men
are single.
The climate Is said to be tropical,
but healthful and pleasant, remarks
the Portland Journal. The island Of
Guam is almost a neighbor, being only
about $500 miles from our coast.

700 Telephone Subscribers Strike.

Bloomfield, Neb., May IL. "A
strike of telephone subscribers,
declared to be unparalleled in the
history of the industry, is in pro-
gress here. Because the local
company raised the rates % per
cent at time when every farm
er was selling his crops at from a
third to a half of their price of a
year ago, every one of the 700
subscribers signed an agreement
to discontinue service until such
time as the company would agree
to restore the old rate.
In order to make certain that
everybody would lose his tele-
phone connection at the same
time, the committee took counsel
with an electrician and discover
ed that this could be done if
everybody unloosened two GER
tain screws and removed the re-
leased wire. Everybody did it.
The company refuses to return
to the old rates, the State Rail-
way Commission refuses to or
der the company to do so because
it authorized the increase and
the patrons declare they will
suffer the inconvenience accom-
panying complete cessation of
service until the rates come
down.
The protesting subscribers say
that the telephone companies
ought to be willing to lose money
for a time when everybody else
is doing so. and the company of
ficials say they were restricted to-
only normal profits when every
body else was making big ones,
and that the demand is unfair.

TAUGHT USE OF PL0WsHARE
How Legendary Chinese Emperor 70
Said to Have Encouraged Agri-
culture In That Country.

In Europe the most significant Of
the gifts of the soil are wheat and
fax; In China they are silk and rice.
Old Chinese myths name Shen-nung
or Siennung the "divine Iaborer," a
legendary emperor who Is said to have
reigned in the first half of the third
millennium before Christ, as the IA
Their of agriculture. It was he who
frst made a wooden plowshare and
taught the people how to use 1t. Shen-
hung was one Of the three emperors
whom legend reveres as founders of
the Chinese social system. It was
Shen-tsan, or Sien-tsan, the wife of
Huang-ti. another of the three, who
taught the people the rearing Of silk
worms and the treatment Of coeoons
and threads and the weaving of sIlken
garments, so that her subjects might
no longer suffer from "chapped and
frost-bitten skin"
The sanctuary Of Shen-nung Is still
standing, south Of PekiH, r. Meyer
Rtefstahl writes In Asia Magazine.
Here the last emperor Of China used
to come every year to bring a sacrifice
to the presiding divinity and to open
a furrow in the soil with his own
hands. The ceremony Is very ancient.
Even In the sixth century there was
all imperial field that formed sane
tuary fourteen Ii south Of th. capital.
There, In the first months Of spring,
on day Of good augury, sacrifices Of
steer, sheep and a pig were made
to Shen-nung and to Hou-tsi. The en-
peror. clad In his state robes and the
ritual bonnet. entered the golden char
lot of state and performed thrice the
ritual Of sacrifice. After this the cere-
mony Of blowing took place.
To the north Of the city, ia olden
times, Shen-tsan had an altar. Later
the shrine was transferred to the pre-
cinct Of the palace, where the en-
press presided over the rearing Of
silkworms- and the production Of silk.
Old records mention the mulberry
grove Of the empress and her pavilion
for the rearing Of silkworms. Toward
the middle Of spring, In ancient times,
the chief of the court wsuld sum-
mon the empress to the grounds north
OF the city to begin the gearing Of
silkworms. The ladies Of the palace
and the wives Of high dignitaries aid
ed her in the task. After fasting and
sacrificing to Shen-tsan. the empress
and the concubines Of the emperor
themselves gathered the mulberry
leaves. The silk obtained was used
Tor the sacrifcial robe Of the emperor.

of Web Worm Already
Noted.

The web worm, an insect which
is more or less abundant in Lou
isiana each year, has already be.
gun to appear on the foliage of
various trees. The hairy larvae
or caterpillaas, which are about
an inch in length when full
grown and which issue from eggs
laid by a white moth, feed in
colonies ON the leaves within a
silken web spun by them. When
the larvae are young this web is
small. but it is enlarged by the
growing larvae so as to incIose
other leaves that they need for
food and. as a result. the web
often becomes large and conspi-
cuous. Then the pest is very
abundant, as was the case in GER
tain parts of the State in 1917,
entire trees may be covered by
the webs and the foliage COM
pletely destroyed.
While the webworm feeds up
on the foliage of many trees and
plants, the damage that it does
to such trees as pecan, pear,
peach, and persimmon is of most
importance.
The sim plest satisfactory
method of control, when the web
worm is not especially numerous,
is to remove the webs from the
trees and destroy the caterpil-
lars contained within them. A
long-handled tree primer can of
ten be used to advantage to cut
off infested twigs. Burning the
webs as they occur on the trees,
and thus killing the caterpillars
within, is sometimes practiced,
but care should be taken not to
scorch too much foliage. The
caterpillars may also be poisoned
by spraying the foliage with an
Powdered onato of
lead at the rate of one pound to
fifty gallons of water is recon-
mended for this purpose. Only |
the foliage Immediately sur
rounding the webs need be so
treated. Whatever measures are
practiced should begin when the |
webs first appear and while the
caterpillars are small.

Whoopiag Cough.

Thisis very dangerous disease, par
ticularly to children under five years of
age, but when no psregoric, codeine or
other opiate is given, easily cured by
giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Most people believe that it must run
its course, not knowing that the time
is very much shortened, and lat there
is little danger from the disease when
this remedy is given. 1t has been used
in many epidemics Of whoopipg Cough,
with pronounced success It is safe
and pleasant to take.

Ex-senator Capt. Teal Says People
Should Vote on Constitution.

Baton Rouge, May II. Chas.
H. Teal, of Colfax, 70 r m +
State Senator and now a member
of the board of administrators of
Pineville asylum, and a promi-
nent resident of Grant parish, is
firmly of the belief that the peo-
pie of Louisiana expect the new
constitution to be submitted to
them for ratification or rejec-
ton.
The people are entitled to
this belief in the face of promis-
es made then," said Senator
Teal Wednesday.
but | would add this, that
with salary raisers and increased
burdens on the taxpayers they
Whenever ratify it. You can
hear the sentiment any and
everywhere in the country, and
there are two things the voters
of this State will not stand for
and will vote down.
"One is this increase in salary
of district judges to $1,000 eff
fective at once instead of wait
ing until their increased duties
begin. | think a fair compro-
mise would be $4,000 for the
three intervening years and $5.-
600 when they enter upon the
new duties. Any further con-
sideration than this, the people
will not stand.
Second, / do not believe the
people will ratify a constitution
allowing the conservation COM
mission the unlimited latitude
and expenditures which it now
enjoys. They spend $40. 900 a
year drawn upon their own war
rant. We people of the country
believe oysters, fish, shrimp and
the sea products should bear some
of the conservation tax. We
feel there should be a more equit-
able distribution of the tax bur-
dens and unlimited expenditures
curtailed. I"
Senator Teal says agricultural
conditions in the parishes are
very discouraging. They had
six inches of rain in his section
on Tuesday. There is practical
ly no cotton.
I'VE have planted over two
and three times" said the Grant
parish planter. 1--WE have plant
ed corn twice and in many in
stances three times, still we have
no crop. Farm conditions are
deplorable and our people are
discouraged. The same condi-
ton exists in our industries.
Lumber has no sale and mills are
shut down. After planting my
cotton, / had two carloads of the
best cotton seed, | wrote a mill
in Alexandria and they offered
me SIS a ton only. You can't
sell your products if you have
any,"

LAST NIGHTS CONCERT
BY HENRY v STEARNs.


Rarely do music lovers have such a
treat offered to them as they had on
last evening when the New York
Chamber Music society appeared as
the third number on the Topeka con-
cert series. Opportunities to hear such
music are all too rare even in our
largest cities and Henry Dotterweich
is to be commended most shighly for
selecting an attraction of such unusual
worth.
Chamber music represents the
purest form in which music may be
heard, but it is usually considered to
be for the connoiSseur rather than for
the popular audience. That this was
not the case last night speaks volumes
for the beauty of the performance and
the message voiced by the organiza-
ton. There was surprisingly large
volume of tone produced by the small
group of instruments associated, but
performance by any means. Rather
tone, the sdelicacy of the pianissimo,
the charming variety of tone color, the
absolute rapport of the artists one
with another and with the audience,
and the perfect ensemble The pro-
gram was admirably chosen and it is
a cause for wonder that there is so
much music of real worth written for
such unusual instrumental combina-
tions. The audience was genuinely en-
thusiastic in its applause, recalling the
wood wind quartet after it's charming
group and again demanding an addi-
tional number after the last group by
the entire ensemble.
