Will Written On
 Identification Disk Admitted To Probate

London, July 1o.-strange as the story of any document told in fiction is that of will which has just been admitted to probate and is now filed in Somerset House
 It is the Hast will and testament" of a sailor, William Skinner, who lost his life when his ship, the Indefatig- able, was sunk in the battle of Jut- land. It is in the form of the ordin- ary Identification disc. On one side, in the usual deeply-punched letters, appears the name, number, rating and religion of the man to whom it had been issued.
 On the other side the disc appears at first sight to be just a circular piece of smooth, polished brass. But when viewed at a certain angle there can be seen about 75 minutely en- graved words. With a microscope they can be plainly read. They con- stitute Skinner's will by which he be- queaths everything to his wife. The disc had been recovered from the sea with Skinner's body and on being cleaned revealed it's secret.

GOLF COURSES FURNISH
 FEED FOR MANY BIRDS

Washington, July 29.-A golf course in many respects makes an idead com munity bird refuge and golfers, says inc Department of Agriculture, should co-operate in the preservation, en- couragement and increase Of useful birds.
 sThe broad expanse of short grass on the fairways. officials point out, furnish excellent feeding grounds for robins. meadow 1arks,- starlings, flick CTS and kEldeers In rougher spots there is an abundant insect popuIa- tion for bird food. Most golf courses have water hazards at which birds can Ldrink and bathe and many are pro- tected to a large extent from trespass and are relatively free from natural enemies to birds.
 Thus, officials assert, birds are af- forded ample protection, food and wa ter But nesting sites may be lacking and must be supplied by artificial nest boxes or trees and shrubbery along the sides of the course.

One day a coal wagon stopped in front of an office building. The driver jumped down. removed the cover from the Iuanhole, drew out the scoop, and proceeded to dump his load. An old negro shuff1ed over and watched him. Suddenly he leaned over, then began to laugh. The driver walked up to him and said, ''Do you always laugh when you see coal going down into a .ceIlar?"
 'No," said the negro, ''but I jes' bust when see coa1 going down a sewer"

We talk an awful lot these days about the modern fapper, but nothing ever seems to phase this type of girl very short and with their high heel ed shoes, the rainbow colors which they sport, they do whate'er they hemmed and haNyed, and all we've done is jawed. We really can not blame the girls in spite of bare, un- covered knees, for after all, they've to please. We know we like them trim and neat and believe me, boys they sure look sweet. But there's thing that I'll confess and it often gets me sore. Because of the way in which they dress you can't tell a child from twenty-four.

Plant Aphis Grows as Wen as
Crops, This Weather.
X. S. A. C. Professor Offers
Way to Save Plants. 80

Manhattan. Kan, June S.-Kansas
weather this spring, altho fine for
growing crops. is also favorable for
the aphis family. known as plant lice
Professor A. A Dean of the depart
ment Of entomology at the Kansas
State Agricultural college. has re-
ceived a great many letters inquiring
concerning these aphids.
The lice are very bad this year on
the plum, cherry and elm, and they
are particularly destructive to garden
plants such as beans, peas, tomatoes,
cabbage, cucumbers, muskmelons and
watermeIons, according to Professor
Dean.
They are small, soft-bodied. green
ish insects. easily recognized. They
gather on the underside of the leaves,
extract the sap and usually cause the
leaves to become curled and eventually
killed. If a great number of the leaves
are thus destroyed it will cause the
death of the entire plant
The lice reproduce rapidly especially
in cool, damp weather and it lis nee
essary for the grower to keep a very
close watch in order that the insects
may be controlled before great dam
age is done.
Since some of the plant lice pass the
winter in the egg stage on the stems
of plants, as the cabbage aphis on the
cabbage stalk, all remnants of the
crop and all weeds growing in and
around the garden should be burned in
the fall. In the spring, weeds and
wild grasses should not be allowed to
grow around the garden.
The melon aphis infesting melons
and cucumbers usually first appears
on isolated vines thruout the patch.
The grower should keep a close watch
in order to locate and destroy these
first colonies.
The infested leaves or portion of
the vine should be pulled off and
buried. In most instances. just as
soon as the plant lice are discovered,
the plants should be sprayed with
either a nicotine sulphate or a strong
soapy spray. The nicotine sulphate is
used at the ratio of one-half pint to
fifty gallons of water plus two pounds
of common laundry soap. In making
a small quantity, use one ounce of
nicotine sulphate to six gallons of soft
water plus four ounces of soap.
The soapy spray is prepared by dis
solving one pound of laundry soap in
six gallons Of soft water. The spray
should be applied thoroly to the under
side of the leaves where the plant lice
