Cherry Slugs
IA. To-. Raileul

Cherry slugs are at work on the
cherry leaves in many orchards. These
are dark greenish-brown slug which
eat away part of the leaf tissue on one
side, leaving a skentonized membrane
which soon dies and turns brown.
This pest becomes worse as the sum-
mer advances and has been known to
almost defoliate trees.
1t may be controlled by spraying
the foliage after the crop is harvest
ed, with the lead arsenate spray as
used for codling moth control on ap-
Piles, or the trees may be busted with
air slaked lime or common road dust.

Of the world? Better instruments?
Yes, undoubtedly. For the removal Of
disease, better scientific instruments
are needed. For the removal Of GER
tain domestic difficulties, better hous-
ing accommodations are needed. For
the removal of Industrial friction, a
better economic system is needed. For
the removal of international strife, a
new world organization is needed. A
world that has been organized for war
must be organized for peace. For the
rebuilding of the world better instru-
ments are needed. But what is SUI
premely needed is better spirit! If
only you and I and all our neighbors
would persistently cultivate the Christ
mas spirit, our children's children
would live in far better world. For
then it would be only a question of
time until we should discover the in
struments needed for the fashioning
of fairer civilization, and we would
be willing to use these instruments as
soon as they could be developed.
What a pity, then, If Christmas this
year should come and go and leave
none of us permanently different.

Christmas in international relation
ships.
The nations of Christendom have
been motived far more by Nietzsche's
will to power than by Jesus will to
serve. Their conception Of greatness
has been pagan, not Christian
conception. The great nation has been
thought of as nation able to lord it
over other nations, not as a nation
eager to serve other nations. The
proud symbols of the Western world
have been swords and scepters, not
basins and towels. But
''Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyrew
Surely the meaning of this present
hour is clear: sNations must do unto
others as they would have other ma
lions do unto them. Nations must
enter into the worlds life not merely
to get something, but to give some
thing, and, in some international as
sociation, even to risk something In
the interest of world justice and world.

For the first time in history the ma
lions of the world are looking con-
sciously into the eyes of Jesus and
know 1t to be true that He alone has
the secret Of life.

SciOuS of the reality ana glory VI
spiritual world.
Christmas Is the time when we are
conscious Of an unusual desire to be
kind. One day every year the world
suddenly becomes different. Physical
ly speaking, it is the same world. The
sky is the same. The streets are the
same. The DEMONSTRATING a touch
Of holly here and there-are the same.
But you and and our neighbors are
different. We are more just in our
judgments, more thoughtful in our at
tention, more unselfish, more kind.
It IS probably true that these sea-
sons Of the soul, however deeting,
leave their mark. We are, perhaps, a
bit more patriotic than we would be
were it not for the annual observance
of Memorial day; a bit more con-
sciously grateful than we would be
were it not for the annual observance
of Thanksgiving day; bit more re-
ligious than we would be were it not
for the recognition of Lent and the
observance of Easter day. And one
would like to believe that we are
bit more kind than we would be were
It not for. the observance OF Christ
mas.
The very approach Of Christmas has
certain noticeable psychological ef-
fects. In 1914 it resulted in tenn
porary cessation Of hostilities. On that
first war Christmas the booming guns
gave way to Christmas carols, sung in
three languages, as British and French
and German soldiers fraternized be-
tween the lines. In 1918, as the day
drew near which would commemorate
the. birth of the Prince of Peace,
war-weary world dared to hope that
foundations would be laid for endur-
ing peace. The heart of the world is
wrung by the suffering of China, the
tragedy of Armenia, and the pitiful
pleas Of the starving children of Gen.
trail Europe. Is there any man any
where, not degenerate, who is not
conscious of desire to diminish by
ever so little the worlds distress?
