Here is just one of the little things

The common cattle grub or "war-
Bile" does an estimated annual dam
age of $4,000. 900, to hides, beef and
milk production. So serious Is the
damage to hides that the National
Tanners Council is taking steps, in
cooperation with the u. s. Depart

method Of eradicating the pest. At

TO A KENTUCKY MOTHER

The Kentucky Club of Christian
College, Columbia, Mo-, was given
a beautiful little luncheon this week
by Mrs. st. Clair Moss, President
Emeritus Of the College, in her apart
ment in Missouri Hall. In addition
to the ten girls from the State of
Kentucky, who are attending Chris
tian College, there were several men,
bers Of the faculty Of Christian who
came from Kentucky and a few
guests from that State. Mrs. Moss
is a native Kentuckian and she was
president of Hamilton College for a
number Of years. It was, therefore,
natural that the following little verse
to Kentucky mothers should well up
in her heart when she had as guests
under her roof such a beautiful group
of Kentucky daughters.

An Irish convention is about to
meet in Paris. It will include rep
resentatives Of the twenty-five mil
lions of Irish living in various coun-
tries and parts of the world. So
fully a representative gathering has
never been held before. The imme-
date object is to advance literature
and art, but it is safe to say that
other subjects which bear on nation
atty will not be omitted. It Is the
literary renaissance that has been at
the bottom Of much Of the political
ambition of modern Ireland. Few
people realize that in the earlier cer-
turies Ireland was the most cultured
in art and literature Of all the Sec
tions of Western Europe and sent her
scholars to other countries at the re-
quest Of kings.

On Sunday Constantinople was the
center of interest by virtue Of the
election of the Patriarch Of the East
ern or Greek branch of the Catholic
Church. There are over a hundred
million of Christians that owe allsgi-
ance to this church. The event was
particularly notable because Of the
fact that the election was by repre-
sentatives from the lsity as well as
the clergy, and the Turkish Sultan
had no power over the choice. No
such method has ever been employed
before. In the olden times the elec-
ton took place in the famous Cathed-
raj of st. Sophia. The conquest Of
Constantinople, however. gave that
building to the Turks, and il has been
used as a Mohammedan mosque ever
since.

The reports from the Washington
conference are encouraging at pres.
ent along all lines. Japan has been
making a strong effort to increase
her allotted ratio Of first-class war
ships and has again and. again been
obliged to shift her base Of argument
until it looks as tho she would final
ly give in. She has evidently been
trying to escape scrapping her re-
Gently constructed dreadnought. An
agreement also seems to be in sight
for the transfer of Shantung to
China and the withdrawal from Man
churia by Japan. England and
France also give up their leases near
the entrance to the Gulf of Pechile
which opens the way to north China.
Certainly progress is being made.
Articles of agreement have been
drawn up and signed on both sides
providing for a settlement of the
Irish question. The decision was
reached at time when hope had
been nearly abandoned. By this
agreement ireland becomes a free
state but under the sovereignty Of
the English King and adherence to
the group Of nations making up the
British Commonwealth of nations.
The plan must receive the approval
of the Parliament of both countries
but refusal is not expected. Ulster
becomes a part of ireland with the
privilege of returning to her present
condition if she is not satisfied.
