joined me in Paris and we spent two days there after which We went to Germany; to Frankfort; Bingen-on- the Rhine; thence to Belgium; stop ping in Brussels which is a miniature Paris. From there to Ostend and then by airplane to London. It took us exactly one hour and 45 minutes to make the trip. while by crossing the channel it takes from four to six hours.
 London Is beautiful; the people are so wonderful. and the whole atmosphere is that of elegance and dignity. The Savoy Hotel is exactly like an American hotel and does not overcharge like Paris does; $5 day is the charge at the Savoy, while in Paris 1t is much more and the food even higher. The only cheap things I found in Paris were wines aNd taxicabs.

Bibb Graves. candidate for governor; MT. Gailard. who seeks to be com missioner of public utilities; MT. Phillips. candidate for lieutenant governor, and a number of others whose acceptances have been re- ceived.
 It is being urged by Mrs. Richard F. Johnston, league president, that a very full attendance be present. The public. men and women, are also invited.
 It Is possible that the organization will have mass meeting Saturday the reason being that so large a number of women are asking that a summary of what has already been learned concerning candidates and their positions be told them in brief, usable form.
 Concerning this mass meeting, the women will decide at today's as- semblage. A number of members also want instruction concerning the bulky ballot, which is three feet long and a number iof laws.

 Questions and Answers
 e. l have a patch of corn that is rather spindling and now and then a stalk Is beginning to shoot to tassel. It must be poor soil, although thought it good when planting. Would any fertilizer do good this late? J. B., Bessemer.
 A. Broadcasting immediately 50 to 100 pounds nitrate of soda to the acre might cause considerable increase in yield. If the nitrate Is used at once and if practical. harrow or sweep out the middles.
 O. Is 1t too late to set out chrys- anthemum plants to flower in the fall? Miss L., R. F. D.
 A. No; but plants should be stocky and possess age in order to commence Towering at the proper time.
 Q. In saving watermelon, capta loupe and squash seed, should they be washed or dried just as they come sout of the fruit? G. R., Clanton, Ala
 A. Commercial seed are always washed and in washing many faulty seed can be separated, but if you are only saving for home use, there is no such necessity.
 c. My roses are continually both SItu Wlln SHlallt ytltO WISH W III le fly or bug. They seem to suck the under side of the leaves causing them to turn white. When disturbed they fly away. I have used lime and paris green, but it does no good. What should I use? Mrs. J. M. R. R. F. D. No. l.
 A. This insect. known as rose leaf hooper, is a sucking insect and ar senic poisons are not effective. but but contact insecticides are. A spray must be used so as to reach the un- derside of the leaf. Kerosene oil emulsion IS effective. Nicotine or to- bacco sprays in connection with soap Is good Equal parts of lime and insect powder dusted so as to reach the underside of foliage Is good. A prepared remedy known as 40" dust is effective.
 a. Every time 1t rains there IS a white mold that appears on the clover plants on my lawn. Is this a disease, and what could I put on 1t? Mrs. D. L.. R. F. D, No. 1.
 A This is mildew disease that is always encouraged by dampness. It will finally kill the plants unless de- stroyed. Busting the plants with equal parts of lime and common sul- phur is effective. Repeat at week

 A Your description fits pest known under many names, the most common of which Is yellow lined currant bug. The larger foursstriped bug is the adult of the smaller Ned one noted. The adults lay the eggs on the tender terminal branches and some of these eggs remain attached to plant all winter and hatch out an early spring brood. Kerosene oil emulsion reduced to the proper strength as per label will destroy. Badly infested terminal branches should be cut off and burnt. Early spring spraying before new foliage IS out with kerosene emulsion will re- lieve you of trouble next year.

ARNOLD HIRSCH IS BACK FROM EUROPE Two Months Abroad Enjoying
 Paris, Eondon, and Other Points

''While Paris was delightful and l enjoyed the theatres, the races and the wonderful fashion shows, l be- lieve if I had to say which city of the many I visited while abroad on my recent trip liked best, l would say London without any hesitation" l"
 Arnold Hirseh, of Birmingham's popular emporium, the Hirsch Milli- nery company, was the speaker yes terday, having just returned from a two months trip abroad, sailing last May on the Aquitania and dividing his time among the principle points of interest in England, France and Germany.
 .' On the Aquitania were scores of celebrities" said Mir. Hirsch. "Vin- cent Astor and Jay Gould. the former ambassador to Germany. MT. James W. Gerard, Frieda HemDel, the noted coloratura soprano, the Duncan Sisters, Irene Caste and her husband Captain Tremaine. Sidney Blackmer and Charles L. Wagner (John Me Cormaeks nanager) pretty little Marguerite Clarke and her husband MT. Williams and scores of others. -"There was a wonderful concert on board the ship in which nearly all of the celebrities took part and they raised quite a neat little sum for the English sailors.
 The Bois Den0Iogne.
 or all the leautifu1 ulaCes | have ever seen it is the BoiSs de Cologne and the Champs Elysees; Paris offers no more wonderful sights than these two marvellous points. the theatres were of course at full speed and mostly Reveus'; this in order that the 5o,00o Americans twho were there in Mayo could understand them because when one doesn't speak French it is impossible to enjoy a play The after the theatre cabarets were packed and damned, 'Prelatelan' where Irene Castle danced being one of the most popular, while La Pero- quet. LaHermitage and Monmarte were also popular
 The shops were wonderful. but the real place to see the new modes was at the races; there tho Manni- kins' were gorgeously arrayed. Longer slxirts---in fact 60 the ankles were exploited and it is a black season: black gowns, enormous black hats and black satin sandals. That was the summer style; for fall and winter, the smallest chic black hats are to be worn and mostly black gowns as people seem to be tired of colors.
 Tt costs fortune to go to the theatre in Paris; first your tickets; then Nip to the ticket seller tip to the usher; tip to the program girl from whom you buy your pro- gram; 1t is tip everywhere; if ever l lose out in my present business l am going to Paris and become an attache of some big theatre.

OUR STATE HAS
EXCESS OF FIVE
INCHES OF SNOW
N. D. Snowfall in Nov. 9 Inches
and 81 Inches First Is
Days of February

On February 18th, North Dakota
had an excess Of five inches of snow
above normal, according to w. w
Roberts, government meterologist
with headquarters here. Most Of this
excess over the normal for the win
ter months is due to the fall of nine
inches in November and of eight and
one-half inches in the first fifteen days
Of February. ..
Because of the small amount of
thawing weather that has been pres
ent since the beginning of snow fur
ries, most Of the snow is still on the
ground in the protected places, or has
been blown into the hollows and big
drifts in higher ground. This condi-
ton, is considered as preliminary 10
high waters when the snow begins to
melt in the annual spring breakup.
While it is conceded that the large
amount of snow will aid in supplying
moisture for vegetation, Mr. Roberts
considers that the SHOWS in March and
early April are the ones which aid
most in the production of crops, es-
pecially the wheat.

CHURCH POLICY
SH0RT-SIGHTED
Director Speaks to Methodist
Conference on Subject

Fargo, Feb. 1S.-The church has
long been pursuing short-sighted
policy in providing ministers. for
country churches, DR.. Walter Lee
Airheart, rural director of the Metho-
dist church, for North Dakota told
the Fargo district convention of his
church today.
"The country has been used as a
place to try out the young man and
to turn the old man out to grass
while the inefficient have been ma
rooned there" he said. "The atten-
ton of the ministry has been directed
toward the cities as the place of op-
portunity until failure to secure So
called promotion has come to be look
ed on as discrediting the minister"
The speaker told of the work being
done in the country communities of
North Dakota and said the church is
trying to correct the condition he
mentioned.

R REDUCTION OF
WHEAT ACREAGE
is UNDER FIRE
Milwaukee Newspaper Criticizes
Resolution of North Dakota
Farm Bureau

Fargo, N. D., Feb. 1S-The resolu-
ton advocating a 12 per cent decrease
in the wheat acreage of the state,
adopted at the recent annual meeting
Of the North Dakota Farm Bureau
here, Is under fire, according to H. B.
Fuller, state secretary of the organ
ization. He says that Milwaukee
newspaper comments on the resolu-
tion which also calls for a greater
corn acreage, and remarks that while
farmers in the corn states are calling
for reduction in corn acreage the
North Dakota farmers take an pppo-
site stand.
The language of the resolution is
that the federation "favors substi-
tuition of other crops such as forage.
corn and potatoes, for wheat"
North Dakota has been raising so
little corn that it has had to ship it
for feeding" says Mr.. Fuller in de.
Tending the resolution. "With the
high freight rates prevailing, this is
IN expensive business and only own
ars of blooded stock will be able 70
lffora it. II the farmers would raise
more of it, this expense would be dis
pensed with and the state would have
enough corn to 60 around. This
would make for better dairying con-
ditions.
None, of the corn raised here would
get into the market to compete with
that raised by the farmers Of Illinois
and Iowa."
The resolution is constructive one
and aims for greater diversification of
crops, something the state greatly
needs, he added.

SAVING
THEIR MONEY IN
NORTH DAKOTA
Bankers, Restaurant Men and
Motion Picture Men All
Agree On This Point
BANKERS ARE PLEASED
"Movie" Proprietors, However,
are Hoping Things Will
Loosen Up In Spring d.

Fargo, N. D., Feb. 1S.-People are
saving their money. So say the bank
ers here and the restaurant men and
keepers of motion picture houses sad
ly agree with them.
The teller at the savings deposit
window Of a large bank was question
ed regarding conditions.
'No, people haven't quit saving
since times became a little tighter"
she said. "On the contrary they are
saving more than they did during the
flush years Immediately following the
war. We are getting more new ac-
counts all the time
One banker after another substan-
hated her statement.
The manager of one of the large
self service restaurants had the same
story to tell in a different way.
"People used to order what they
wanted, throw down the money, eat
half of what they had ordered and
rush out" he said. Nov. they stand
at the counter and study the cards
overhead to see how they can order
the cheapest meal. When they get
through eating they are apt to linger
at the table while talking. That is
because they aren't as busy as they
were when business was better"
Motion picture men also reported
less business but insisted that things
would brighten up in the spring.
Wages Have Been Cut. T.
"Just now lot of people have had
their wages cut" said w. e. Clavier'
manager of one of the largest motion
picture houses in the state. Even
the best movie fans don't come in as
often as they used to. When building
starts up and other activities are re-
vived in the spring, business will be
better. People are sort OF skeptical
about the value of a dollar and as to
whether it is going as far as it ought
to go. There has been so much said
and written about saving money that
even those who's have it to spend are
intent on saving it."
