Poison Baits For Insects

Various poison baits are very sem sible and practical remedies for de- stroying many injurious insects, cost but little. easily prepared and the quantity that may be destroyed in a single night is almost incalculable. The writer has used the following formula on large plots with immense success.
 Paris green or white arsenic, quar- ter pound, wheat bran five pounds.
 One lemon grated, rind, juice and all.
 Sorghum or cane syrup, three quarters of pint. Water sufficient to make a wet mash Mix first, the poison and bran thoroughly. Mix the lemon with about a quart of water and stir in the syrup.
 Then mix all, using enough addi- tional water to make a soft dough or mash. Scatter the poison a5h broadcast, at the rate of five pounds to the acre. The application should be made both late in the evening and very early in the morning. It's more effective when soil is damp. as in- sects wont feed on it much after dry ing. Repeat at intervals and keep the chickens out or any other fowls or animals that might get the poison bait.

More Greens

Not many folks ever get tired of young, succulent, tender boiled greens, when properly cooked and well seasoned with good fat bacon. Most people associate greens with the fall, winter and early spring. and don't consider them good when the weather becomes hot. The trouble is, most greens deteriorate rapidly when warm weather ensues. and to over come this. one should make sue cession of plantings. It is useless to allow such greens as mustard. turnip and others to remain In the garden. when they have lost most of their tender, succulent quality. Such plants are easily and quickly grown and te be appreciated during the sum mer months. only tender and young stock should be used for the table. Young, tender and succulent spinach can be had all summer by planting such, varieties as New Zealand and the spinach beet. known as Swiss chard. Any young beet tops when mixed with turnip or mustard greens, greatly improves the resulting mess ot greens. Make successive plantings. Is the sensible plan to follow.

unreasonably high cost Of distrl.
button of some farm products.
Notwithstanding the continued
low purchasing power Of farm
products, it is fair to say that in
general the farmers of the United
States are in a better financial
position than they We're year
or eighteen months ago. Farm
products are selling at consider
ably higher prices, and it is es-
timated that the aggregate Of the
crops OF the country this year Is
about a billion and quarter
dollars more than last year. Con-
siderable quantities of these crops
will be fed, and the increased
value will not be wholly recov-
cred TO the farmer. but the bare
fact that such a large increase
in money wili reach the farmers
pockets this year is most crafty
ing and reassuring.
Credit conditions are vastly
improved. Interest rates have
fallen compared with a year and

in the agricultural section are in
q far better condition to serve
their farmer customers, and there
seems to be reason to believe that
this condition will improve

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am
eighteen years old. A short time
ago / was invited to a party at a
girl friends house. The boy had
been going with me came to our
door to call for me but he did not
want to come in. He said he would
wait outside and l should get on
my hat and coat and come along,
He had always come In before, but
did not insist and / did as he
said.
He acted funny while we were
walking over to the girls house
and when we got inside / realized
he had been drinking. He was not
drunk, but he talked and laughed
lot and it was easy to smell the
wine or whatever it was he had
had. ! was terribly ashamed to be
there with him. When 1t was time
to go home by girl friends father
said he would drive me home and
it would not be necessary for me
to go with the boy who took me.
He didn't like this bit and since
then he hasn't asked to take me
anywhere. Ny girl friends mother
told my mother about him and now
mother says ] cannot go with him
again even if he asks me. Do you
think it is fair turn down a boy
just because he has been drinking
once? TRYING TO FORGET.
The boy was anything but a gem
tleman. In the first place he knew
he was going to the party with you
and therefore it was objectionable
for him to appear as he did. Be-
sides he owes you an apology and
is decidedly ungentlemanly to re-
sent the fact that your girl friends
father took you home when he was
not in condition to do so.
Yes, I think your mother is right
in advising you to have nothing

WORKERS PARTY
SEEKS CONTROL
IF GOVERNMENT
Adopts Resolutions Stating
Necessity Exists for Over
throw of Capital and for
Soviet Rule

New York, Dec 25.-The Work
ers party of America today adopted
a platform for 1928 at the second
session OF its convention, which
avowed that its purpose was to
unite American labor into mass
movement against capital. The
platform says;
THE Workers party declares one
Of its chief immediate tasks to be
to inspire In the unions a reVolu-
tionary purpose and to unite them
in a mass movement of unCom-
promising struggle against capital
ism. The work Of transforming
the labor unions must be carried
on inside the existing unions. The
Workers party declares its support
of the red labor internationale and
adopts as its program for the strug-
gle within the unions the theses
Of the red labor internationale on
the American labor unions"
A resolution calling for open
affiliation with the third inter-
rationale, which had been sub
mitted to the convention, was with
drawn by c. e. Ruthenburg. Sec
retary, after a discussion on the
subject. The sentiment was about
equally divided.
Ruthenberg, addressing the con-
vention, said that the cause Of the
labor party in America was abso-
lutely dependent upon labor un-
ions. Farmers and farm laborers,
for whose support of the program
, hid was made, might be done
without, he said, but the labor
unions were indispensable,
One Of the planEs in the adopted
platform said:
"rhe Workers party will carry
on propaganda to bring to tho
workers an understanding OF the
necessity OF supplanting the eX-
isting capitalist government with
a soviet government
THE soviet government Of the
workers will, because of the same
necesslty-the necessity of sup
pressing the capitallsts--be a die

F0UR-ACT PLAY IS GIVEN
ON CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
AT METHODIST CHURCH

An especially entertaining Christ
mas program was offered at the
Central Avenue Methodist church,
Sunday night. A four-act play was
the principal attraction on the
program.
This play was entitled 1.-THE
Spirit of Giving" and was render
ed by the Junior class of girls, who
have been instructed by Miss Estelle
Bentley. TIE rendition was beau
tiful, far exceeding expectations
None who was unaware of the fact
would have dreamed that the per-
formers were merely girls of the
junior class instead of performers
of wide, experience.
Between the acts of the play the
choir sang Beautiful Christmas an
thems. An offering was also taken
between the acts. This offering
consisted OF fruits and funds,
which were presented to the Chill
dren's home.
A splendid spirit was shown by
the members Of the congregation
in the gifts. The pastor of the
church, Rev. c. G. Higbee. received
n large number of expressions OF
good will from the members of the
congregation and friends.

with consequent destruction of

Farmer Gets Little
secretary Wallace contends that
coptinued high freight rates, war
tllne wages, and over production
nave brought about the abnormal
condition under which the farm
er produces much but receives lit
tie,
III the relationship between
prices now were such as existed
before the war" Mr.. Wallace
writes, this would be a pros
porous year for agriculture, and
consequently prosperous year
Tor the nation. With the distorted
relationship Of prices at the pres
eht time, the farmers notwith-
standing their hard work and
large production are laboring un-
der a terrible disadvantage as
compared with other groups. In
contrast with various other groups
or workers they have produced
abundantly and without cessa-
tion.
This year the acreage Of the
fourteen principal crops was 33I
million acres, which was Z mil
lion acres above the n year
average, and their production tor
this year is estimated to be a
total of about 265 million tons,
which is IL million tons above last
year and above the ten-year aver
age. There is food in abundance,
and this contributes to the pres
perity of business and industry
for a time, but the inadequate
return which the farmer is H.
ceivinG, and has received for
three years, inevitably must re-
suit in readjustments in the NUM-
Der Of people on the fafms and in
the cities, which will not be for
the continuing good OF the nation.
While the price Of many farm
products has advanced consider.
ably over last year This advance
has been accompanied by equally
large or larger advances in The
prices of other commodities.
Many thousands of farmers have
not been able to weather the
storm, notwithstanding their ,lost
efforts.
Freight Rates Blamed
Among the causes which con-
tribute to the abnormal relation
ship of the farm prices to other
things may be mentioned: Over
production of many crops; con-
tiuued high freight rates; the
of industrial wages
at near wartime levels; economic
depression and deprecated cur
rency in European countries: in
reference with the efficient func-
tioning of necessary industries:
