 His home is in Toledo, O., where the American Legion has as it's com mander this same Gustavus Ohlinger. The Legion convention was in full blast in his home city when a wealthy Toledoan burst in and announced that he would pay the entire expense of the ex-service mems gathering if they would drop their bonus stand. What Shlfnger told him was never learned fren a five-foot shelf, but it was good enough to cause hurried exit on the part of the Toledo business man. That's why the Legionnaires like him. Kid gloves might be alright to use sometimes, but Ohlinger doesn't draw them on when he tackles Legion prob lenfS.
 Born of German percentage in China. a close friend of the late Theodore Roosevelt, world traveller and famed as having ridden a bicycle across South Africa are a few of the things that show why Gus" stands ace high with the Legion men and also why he must be reckoned with by any group whose Americanism is questionable.

being spread into all parts of the world by the band leaders men. Thir- ty-two of the master musicians who make up the Sousa organization are eN-service men, and nearly all are af filiated with the Legion. They come from every part of the country and saw service in every branch of this country's military organization dur ing the war
 When Sousa took hold of the Great Lakes band it was a group of sailors, whose right to play under him could have come only with their enlisting with the crowd that took 'em over." What he did with this group of mu- sical talent became known the country over. What they learned under Sousa couldn't have been learned anywhere else, and the finer points of the mu- Sician's art are being shown to the huHdreds of Legion posts whose per sonnel is made up of one or more of the gobs who made up the largest service band of the many brought into being during the war.

PLANTING PEAS FOR
 ALL-SEAS0N SUPPLY
Soil Should Be Prepared the
 Same as for Other Crops.
Some Fertilizer Should Be Scattered Where Row Is to Be Planted and Then Baked In - Scatter
 Seed Along in Furrow.

In planting garden peas first pre- pare the soil the same as for other crops. then scatter little fertilizer where the row is to be planted and rake this into the soil. Next stretch a line and make deep mark with the corner of the hoe. The bottom of this mark should be at least three inches across so that the seed can be spread somewhat and not crowded too closely together. Scatter the seed in this furrow 15 to 20 seeds to the foot, then cover about three inches deep and slightly firm the soil over the seed with the back of the hoe. About two weeks will generally elapse be- fore the sprout appears above the ground.
 At least three, and preferably four, paintings should be made at intervals of two weeks in order to keep up a continuous supply. advises the United States Department of Agriculture. If the first planting is of Alaska the sec ond should be of Gradus or Thomas Laxton, while the third should be of Excelsior and the fourth of Telephone or some similar variety. This will guarantee continuous supply.

LEGION HAS CEMETERY PLOT
Racine (Wis.) Organization Will See That No Ex-Service Man Sleeps in
 Potter's Field.

The American Legion at Racine, Wis. has taken over a part of one of the city's cemeteries and will hold it in order that no one of the ex-service men who did his share in the army or navy during the World war need sleep in a potter's field. When the Legion's work on it's acquired plot is complete, Racine will have miniature Airing ton. The plot is circular and will be fittingly arranged in order that if may look as much as possible like the na- tional cemetery in Virginia.
 The Legion men have authorized the expenditure of S5.S93.50 for the land. A steel mast. from which will fly the Stars and Stripes Is one of the first things the organization will buy. AL ready Racines B ex-service men are buried in two of it's cemeteries. An effort is to be made to have as many of these as possible transferred to the new plot. Room for the burial of more than 300 veterans Is being al- lowed for.
 The next session of the Wisconsin legislature will be asked to raise the amount which the state allows for the burial of war veteran. At present this amount is but $50, but it is hoped that this will be increased to $75 or $1OO.

By A. L. QUAINTANCE, Entomologist in Charge Fruit Insect Investigations United States Department of Agriculture.
 The San Jose scale is just now ex- ceedingly abundant and destructive in many orchards in the Bentonville, (Ark.) section. and growers state they are unable to adequately control the pest with the usual dormant tree treat ments with lime-sulphur spray. While the bureau of entomology believes that thorough spraying with dormant tree strength of lime sulphur will con trol the San Jose scale, yet to meet the desire of orchardists for other than lime-sulphur treatments, a number of experiments with sprays were under taken. The purpose of the present article is to call attention to results secured in the treatment of the scale by the use of a spray containing per cent of lubricating or engine oil emusitied with potash tish-oil soap.
 Remarkably Effective Spray.
 The careful experiments in Florida by w. w. Yothers with various sprays 
 and the orange white fly, as published in Farmers Bulletin 933. resulted in formula of engine-Oil spray which has been found remarkably effective in view of the small amount of oil used, namely, 1 per cent emulsified with potash fish-oil soap. Mir. Yothers found that any one of several oils of the iubricating type, when thoroughly emulsified and used at the dilution in- dicated, was quite effective against these scale insects and the white fly, and these sprays have now come into large commercial use in Florida.
 The surprising efficiency of spray containing such a low per cent of oil suggested the desirability of testing sprays of this character against the San Jose scale. The abundance and destructiveness of the scale in the Bentonville section of Arkansas and the desire of growers for other than lime sulphur sprays, has offered eX- cellent opportunity for testing various dilutionS of engine oil sprays against this pest. The experiments were car ried out by A. J. Alderman, of the office of deciduous fruit insect inves- tigations. and have included tests of lubricating oils of a strength of from one-half per cent to 1 per cent or , per cent thoroughly emulsified with potash fish-oil soap. The results -howed practically complete killing of the scale by one thorough application of the spray of a strength as low as per cent of oil Orchardists have been so pleased with the results that the 2 per cent oil spray will be ex- tensively used in their present neces- sity of bringing the pest under subjec- tion.
 Injury by Oil Spray.
 A point yet to be established in con nection with the present experiments Is the possibly injury from oil spray which may result to the trees, twigs, or fruit buds, and several seasons ex- perience will he necessary before a final decision on this question can be reached.

A brown scum appears on the surface of the mixture as it first be gins to boil. After boiling for a few minutes the brown scum begins to dis appear and at this stage the kettle is removed from the fire and the entire sure of about GO pounds while still very hot. A proper emulsion cannot be made by stirring nor should the mix ture be allowed to cool before it is pumped. Too much pumping will often break up the emulsion. During pump ing. ordinary pump packing is burnt up rather quickly by the hot oil mix ture. For making the stock emulsion on large scale an all-metal pump would be necessary.
 The stock emulsion contains 66 2-3 per cent of oil. To make ? per cent emulsion for use in 2oo-gallon spray tank it is necessary to use gallons of the stock emulsion.
 Precaution should be taken to pre- vent the stock emulsion from freezing, which occurs at temperature of about 15 degrees r. above zero.
 Use Soft Water
 In case difficulty is experienced In making proper emulsion, due to hardness of the water, the water used should be softened by the addition of pound of caustic soda or I've per 100 gallons of diluted spray. The caustic soda should be dissolved in ? or 3 gallons of water and then added to after which the proper quantity of stock emulsion can be added.

WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGE
ATrying Period Through Which Every
 Woman Must Pass
Practical Suggestions Given by the Women Whose
 Letters Follow

The critical time of woman's life usually comes between the years of 45 and 50, and is often beset with an- moving symptoms such as nervous ness, irritability, melancholia. Heat flashes or waves of heat appear to pass over the body, cause the face to be very red and often bring onhead- ache, dizziness and sense of suffo- cation.
 Another annoying symptom which comes at this time is an inability to recall names, dates or other small facts. This is liable tomake a woman lose confidence in herself. She be- comes nervous, avoids meeting strangers and dreads to go out alone.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is especially adapted to help women at this time. It exer- cises a restorative influence, tones and strengthens the system, and as- sists nature in the long weeks and months covering this period. Let it help carry you through this time of life. It is a splendid medicine for the middle-aged woman. It is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs and contains no harmful drugs or mar cotics.

BIG SCHOOL GAME
F0RC|TY CROWN
Germantown High and Episco-
pal Academy to Battle at
Pencoyd May rs
BOTH TEAMS CHAMPIONS
BY PAUL PREP

Dy sNHh
Germantown High Schools will op.
pose Episcopal Academy in baseball
game at Pencoyd. Monday, May 30.
The fact that these two teams are
going to play against each other is
sufficient inducement to draw one Of
tho largest scholastic crowds Of the
season. But. when it is known that
the game will be for the championship
of the city, a capacity" attendance
is in order.
The game was arranged after Epis-
copal challenged the Clivedens and the
defy was accepted.
Both Episcopal and Germantown are
champions. The churchmen have copped
the 1nteracademic League title for the
last two years. The Clivedcns have
held the lnterscholastic League crown
for the same period. Neither team has
been defeated by Philadelphia schOl-
astic aggregation since 1920.
There has been n big demand for
game between these two mines lately
but no ono thought the teams would
meet. However, the schools had diff
fercnt ideas on the subject. and when
Mr.. Hoslan, of Episcopal. called the
Clivcdens and asked for game, Mr..
Faltcrmaycr promptly accepted.
Then the big question was discussed !:
'W here will file game be played?"
Both schools wanted TO know. And
leach institution wanted the contest
played on its own home ground.
Finally tho dispute was settled. and
II was agreed to stage the game on the
Clivedens' grounds. at Pencoyd.
AS usual. Capt. Gene Barrett, Of
the Green and White. would not make
Il statement as to which team he thought
would win the game. Gene never
makes predictions. At Episcopal. too.
neither coach nor captain would make
a statement regarding the coming game.
