To the Editor:--
In your artical re Japanese insur-

true that heads should be bowed In

that some OF the Nutmeg variety

But when they announced the fact
that they would pay all claims regard
less OF the Earthquake clauses" they
may never have given thought to the

THE LEsIoNNAIREs

New Britain welcomes the delegates
20 The American Legion convention
arriving today. That welcome comes
spontaneous. not because the men rep
resent any one division of the splendid
fellows who fought In the great war
but because they are men formerl,
OF that greatest OF all lighting forces
In the wordl-mcn of the army OF
the United States who have been Sc
leeted as worthy TO cherish and carry
on the spirit OF patriotism that de-
veloped under the mighty urge OF
battle.
Deep In their hearts. II they are
true ambassadors. their loyalty and
enthusiasm is the loyalty and enthus-
siasm OF all who fought In our army,
whether or not they are today mem
bers OF the organization the delegates
OF which we honor. II Is to all our
fighting men that the salute Is given
as IL is In honor to them and the spirit
which made them invincibe that the
flag flies here and now. There is no
petty feeling that this Is a tribute to
any one ex-servicemen's body; 1t is
honest. sincere recognition of the
largest organization in the country
which stands for and with every SOL
der, sailor or marine who wore the
uniform. Each such fighting man, his
well-being if he is disabled, his hap
piness IL he Is still strong, is the con-
Germ of the American Legion. Those
delegates who arrive here feel this.
Beneath all their plans for activity
lies that one thought-the cherish
ing of the spirit of loyalty, one fight
ing man for his buddy, stranger
though he may be, and all fighting
men for the country they learned to
appreciate the more while they wore
her uniform.
Many conventions have been as
sembled and dismissed and the world
has paid comparatively little heed.
But convention of the men who
served our country, recalling as 1t does
that other assembling and training of
fighting men before they crossed the
ocean to help repel world menacing
enemy, can not fail to impress the
thought of what might have happen
ed IL the men, some of whom are here
now, had not come together as called
by the country and had not crossed
that ocean to turn the tide that
threatened to give the world to the
Hun.
1t is with the most profound sense |
of gratitude to all our soldiers, sailors
and marines, their officers and those |
who directed them, that we give
warm greeting to the representatives
of the American Legion,

Declares Watercress
Rich in Food Value

Portsmouth, Observation-Disclosures
as sidedish for lunch is well known
In most households, but few people
eating it were aware that it con-
tanned all the essential vitamines. un-
til this fact was stated by Dr. Harold
Scurield at a medical association
meeting recently, advocating more
extensive use of the vegetable. He
said the Greeks regarded it as food
for the mind, while today it was re-
garded as a stimulant for the body.
This recalls a fayorite experiment
of Prof. Vivian b. Lewis, explosive
expert. When lecturing he used to
fill glass jar with watarcress, take it
to Greenwich hospital and leave it on
the roof in the suns rays. The next
week II would be brought back to the
lecture room, the cover removed, ami
light placed near the opening, with
the result that deafening explosion
occurred. This proved according to
the professor, that watercress was
composed of pure oxygen, and was,
therefore, very beneficial to the hui
man system.

PROTECT BEANS AND PEAS
AGAINST WEEVIL ATTACKS
(By Arthur Frank.
Plant Pathologist Western Wash
ington Experiment. Station.

In beans and peas at this time
of the year often weevils get
started. These are small beetles
which infest beans and also peas
There are two species, one in peas
and one in beans. They gain en-
trance to the product during the
growing season when the eggs are
laid i'll the pods. The larvae ent-
er the newly formed beans or peas
and remain there until in the fall
when they transform to the beetle
and emerge. In the case Of the
pea weevil there is but the one
generation and there is generally
but one weevil to a pea. In the
beans each bean may have sever
al weevils and they continue to
breed during the storage season.
To protect stored beans and
peas it is advisable to fumigate
them at this season of the year,
even though no weevils may be
visible at this time. The larvae
or the beetles may already be pres
may be present within and have
not yet transformed into beetles,
ent at this time. Carbon biSulfide
is used for this purpose. 1t is a
liquid and may be purchased al
any drug store. 1t is very volatile
and tie fumes being heavy, settle
down. 1t is very infammable and
all open flames should be kept
from the vicinity of the fumes.
Put the beans or the peas into a
tight container and then pour the
carbon bisulfde into saucer or
shallow container and place this
on top Of them. Keep closed for
Sc or 4S hours. This treatment
will kill the larvae and the beetles
and will not injure the beans or
the peas for use as food. The
quantity Of carbon bisulfide to use
depends upon the amount of space
flied by the materials being treat
ed. One ounce of bisulfde is used
to every 100 pounds of seed. How
ever, in smaller quantities, if put
into a holder of a capacity of
about five gallons, two table
spoonsful is the right amount to
use. If beans and peas were fun
igated now much loss during the
winter would be saved.

COVE COMMENTS.
BY C. A. Renouf.

It has been seriously proposed
that farmers work an eight-hour
day, but how to manage it-that
is the rub. 1t is simply impossible
under the present conditions
Perhaps iii the future, when indi
vidual farming gives place to
community farming and co-opera-
ton on large scale, it may be
accomplished. Meanwhile we
will, may, must work all the hours
we can to make any sort of a liv-
ing.
The editor of the Union Rec
ord Seattle in a recent editor
ial could not see why the farmer
could not adopt the eight-hour
schedule upon which | advised him
to quit his job and get on a ranch
where he would speedily find out
that he would have to work many
hours in excess of the eight or
starve. Farming from an editorial
office is different from the real
thing.
