throughout the history Of our
country since the high honor was de-
ciined by George Warrington. there
has been = strong sentiment against
a third term for any President, no

valuable his services The limitation
t two terms IL tho uowritten rule
and thus far 1t has been held In
violable-like the unwrittsn rule for
only two terms In succession for n
Representative In Congress from
Delaware for nearly n century.
Few will believe, therefore, that Mr..
Wilson has any desire to contest for

APPLYING THE RIGHT REMEDY.

In the courts Of New York City.
Tuesday. one murderous bandit was
sentenced 10 life Imprisonment for
staying his victim and two others re-
ceived Ion sentences OF imprisonment
in Sing Sing. Severe penalties were
imposed on ether offenders.
In all, ten cases were disposed Of
during the day. and eight OF h C
cused pleaded guilty. This was quite
significant. indicating hat these law
less brutes had no hope OF escaping
punishment through the petty devices
that so frequently have served TO ex-
empt vicious criminals from then

Also, there has been an outburs'

JUST FOLKS
THE PURPOSE.
BY Edgar A. Guest

LIE Il OoEs
We could see no ray OF light and no
hope TO lead US on;
When the heavy blow had fallen the
last shred OF faith seemed gone.
Yet a richer life is ours by the burdens
we have known.
And we've come to see Gods purpose
through the long years that
have flown.
Were our lives by one day counted,
that black day had taken all.
For the dreams which we had cherish
ed In disaster seemed 70 fall.
But the days Of men are many and
the passing OF the years
May be needed ere the purpose of q
bitter loss appears.
Not today We see the wisdom of the
hurt which We must bear;
Now the way seems dark and dreary
and no light is shining there.
But Gods purpose glows beneath IL
in a way you cannot know
When the years have soothed YOU
sorrow, you shall learn it's bet
ter so.

Live Wedding Presents.

Lord Morton has revived old ira
ditions of Scotch craftsmanship, writes
a correspondent, by his practical and
patriarchal gift of flock of sheep TO
his sonson his marriage. Such we'd
ding gifts must have been common
enough when the Douglas chiefs ruled
with high hand in territories where
there was little actual money. Inc
ancestor of Lord Morton was second
chief of the Douglas clan, and the
greatness of this family began with
the acquisition of wide lands in the
Fourteenth century, eliminating in the
fourth earl, the great Regent of Scot
land, too great for safety, for he was
attainted and executed. But the Nor
ton earls soon recovered from this blow
and, 80 years later, the seventh earl
was one of the richest and most pow
erful men in the kingdom.

NEW PEST DESTROYS WHEAT
Men of Science Called to Combat the
Fearsome Creature Known as
Trogoderma khapra.

Beware of the fearsome Trogoderma
Khapral says an English correspon-
dent
This creature, with the name of an
oriental villain, is a new insect pest
which has already worked amazing
havoc among stores of wheat ard malt.
First discovered in 1917 by Mr. G. I.
Arrow, of the chronological depart
ment of the British museum, it is now
reproducing its species so rapidly that
it has become a pest of serious eco
nomic Importance.
A small insect measuring about
8 m. m. in length, the trogoderma
khapra eats itself into the heart of
the wheat and malt grain, leaving moth
ing but the husk.
Many recent cases are reported in
which hundreds of quarters of grain
have been eaten by the vermin, and its
depredations are causing great anxi-
ETY..
A remarkable example furnished by
the board of applied pestology in
wolves n shipment of malt. A number
of sacks, containing the malt, We're
stacked on the dockside awaiting
transference. A burly workman, en-
pIoyed on the job was about to move
n cwt. sack and summoned all his
strength for the eXertion. He gave Il
tremendous tug-and then TO his
amazement found that his pun met
! with no resistance from the sack. 1t
was as light as air.
This destructive creature is one of
the pests against which the newly
formed board of applied pestology is
directing its scientific energies.-Mont-

SAN FRANCISCO. March 27,-Ros-

was gold mine before he had to face
trial for manslaughter as a result of the
death of Miss Virginia Rappe after a

Arbuckle's life since the fatal party has
been an expensive one, particularly so be-
cause it has been a case of everything
going out with nothing coming in
Fatty, has never been noted for
economy. and in the old days he could
afford lavish expenditures Now, how
ever. he is living rather quietly. But he
has found that the expense of high class

the price of special automobiles and fine
