UNDER PROHIBITION.

Consumption Of liquor reduced ~
per cent. Marked decrease in crime.
Great reduction in population OF
prisons, almshouses, and asylums.
General improvement IN domestic
conditions.
This summary of the effects of
prohibition is not propaganda" from
the Anti-Saloon League-it is the
independent verdict of an investiga-
ton conducted by the New York
Herald throughout the country.
Such a finding is at least worth
careful consideration by those who
rush into print or mount the plat
form to tell the country that the
Eighteenth Amendment was a mis-
lake in morals and an unwarranted
infringement on civil and personal
liberty.

now TO GET RID OF INSECTS
IN YOUR GARDEN.
(By r. V. st. Dizier.)

Recently / have had number Of
complaints about the "Pill bug" in
hot beds, etc. These bugs are COM
monty called "Pill bugs" because of
their habit of contracting them
selves into the form of ball or pill
when disturbed. This, and a closely
related species that sometimes injura
plants, and which is known as the
"sowbug," are really more closely
related to the shrimp and crab than
to insects.
For the most part pill bugs and
sowbugs apparently feed on mater
ial in the soil, though we quite often
get complaints of their injuring
plants. AS to control about the best
thing seems to be to lightly scatter
Paris green over the surface of the
soil under and about the plants that
are being attacked. Powdered ars-
enate of lead or powdered calcium
arsenate would no doubt be just a
bout as good. 1t will not hurt to mix
the poison in with the top soil. Any
Of the substances mentioned may
be used undiluted, though, especially
with Paris green, care should be
taken not to have the material get
on the foliage because Of the danger
of burning it. The dusting of the
poison on soil about the beds in
places where the pillbugs collect,
such as under boards is also advis-
able.
Often times the pillbugs will be
found to collect during the day und-
er boards or beside boards of which
hotheds are made and under such
conditions many can be killed with
hot water.

our special features are selected
from this viewpoint.
Most everybody who likes to read
fiction has enjoyed the numerous
novels from the pen of Elenor II
Porter, author of "Pollyanna,
Miss Billy" two Of the most popu-
lar books of recent years.
Elenor II. Porter has just complet-
ed series of short stories that are
sparkling with her unequalad style
of expression.
The Iberian has secured the publ
cation rights on these stories, each
complete in one issue of this paper
The first starts today, entitled "Ele-
phant s Board and Keep" being a
story of young husband, his beau
tiful young wife, and their family
automobile. Read it and then looli
for these yarns each week in This
