The American home that Garfield
eulogized is reaping the harvest of its care
lessness-a carelessness that unthinking
people may term progress.
1t is high time that thoughtful Ameri-
cans pause in their mad efforts to reform
the world by legislative enactment and
give some thought to revival of the old
time American home spirit; to give less
thought to laws and more to love. As
nation we should give less thought to the
ornateness of the nation superstructure and
more thought to its real foundation, the
American home.
For what shall it profit us in the end if
we gain supremacy in world markets only
to lose it in the end by the utter disap-
pearance of the od-time American family
life that made national unity possible?-

PIERIAN CHAUTAUOUA CIRCLE

Inauguration of the 1928 portion of the
Pierian Chautauqua Circles season was
effected last Sunday, January 14th in the
Institutional school room, where the
scholarly atmosphere seems to inspire the
\ members or, perhaps New Year resolu-
tons were acted upon judging from the
many papers and essays submitted in be-
half of the various classes
Or yet again, perhaps the postponed ses-
sion of December 81, 1922, added new
zest to the Circles collective industry.
Howbeit, the Secretary is proud to sub
nit herewith, to the readers of THE MIR
RoR, three papers, that for diversity of
subject matter, thoughtful expression and
literary ease cannot be excelled under
similar circumstances anywhere.
In support of which is recorded the
unanimous approval of the Circle, the
hearty tribute of Mr.. A. NJ, critic, and
the availability of the papers for publica-
ton.
With pardonable conceit the writer
would call attention to a prophecy made
several weeks ago in these columns on the
subject.
All right?
These papers and their authors are:
''Roads," by Mr.. ]. M. c., "A Musical
Chat" by Mr.. B. A. B., and "Reminis-
cences of Norway" by Mr.. F. T. P.
President R. J. T. formally opened the
meeting asking for roll call and a read
ing of the Circles minutes; after which
he swung into the general routine of busi
ness; which, though somewhat heavy on
account of previous tabling was carefully
yet expeditously transacted.
Besides the reading of the previously
mentioned papers, plans and suggestions
were heard, and a committee appointed
consisting of Mr.. F. T. P. and the writer
to assist in arranging program for the
next quarterly meeting to be held in the
near future.
The President also called for new
members; submitting list of prospective
members as well as receiving several. On
motion of Mr.. c. H. S. these names were
approved and referred to the committee on
membership.
Papers and essays for future reading
are so numerous, and repetition is such
lad form, that they will be dealt with as
they are submitted. However, no lessen
ing of the Circles accomplishments is
implied.
The distribution of books revealed some
very fastidious tastes, which augurs well
for intellectual effort.
The full allotted time was consumed
ard all matters agreeably disposed of.
Full attendance.
Adjourned.
o. NJ, Secretary.

PLANT LICE
ARE FOUND ON

"Currant foliage in this part of
the country is very commonly curled
and discolored with reddish patches,

Of the leaves" declares DR.. r. L.
Webster, entomologist at the North
Dakota Agricultural college. "These
small insects Ne Sthvhtd with
suckine> Houthynasts through, which
they. obtain thsirl food sffom the

I'm order to control the insects
some contact 9 poison is necessary,
but because Of the excessive curling
of the foliage, it is usually difficult
to actually reach the insects. An
early start is absolutely necessary
with any 4Featment directed against
these. plant. lice.
Soap solutions or tobacco extracts
are recommended for the control of
these plant-l lice. A simple soap So
luton. made by boiling one pound of
soap in water and diluting to make
8 gallons of solution, is effective
when it comes in contact with the
insects. Any good quality of white
laundry soap il generally satisfac-
tory.
Tobacco extracts. such as nicotine
sulphate or black leaf40 may also
be used for these insects. Such
materials do not easily injure fol-
iage and may be used in very dilute
concentrations. Usually one part Of
black leaf-A0 may be diluted with
TOO or 500 parts of water.
ut is absolutely necessary to
force materials SUCH as these into
the curled leaves in order to strike
the plant-lice and an upturned noz-
zae should be used for this purpose. +"

VOTES FOR SOLDIERS
Legion Post FavOrs Change in Texas
Constitution.

The local post Of the American Le-
gion is supporting a change in the con-
stitution Of Texas to give the right Of
suffrage to men in the army, navy and
marine corps. With the possibility of
constitutional convention in the near
future. officials of the post have adj
dressed a letter to State Senator L. H.
Ridgeway, asking him to support the
project. The request was cOncurred in
by the San Antonio Chamber of Com
merce.
Members of the Legion say that Sec
ton of the constitution, which prohibits
suffrage to men in the army, navy and
marine corps when written, was neces-
sary, but that the reason for its en-
forcement no longer exists. The re-
quirements of men taken into this ser
vice is now so high that it is believed
they are capable and have the right to
vote. Previously in many of the cities.
such as San Antonio, where large camps
were established the voting strength of
the soldiers Outnumbered that of the
citizens of the city. With but few ex-
ceptiOns, this condition does not exist
at the present, officials of the post said,
and cannot be used as a reason why
the soldiers should not vote.
In addition to these reasons, the
stand is taken by the Legion that the
Organized Reserves and the National
Guard now make IN a major portion Of
the armed forces of the country, and
that it is unfair TO allow them the right
to vote and to deny it to the smaller
number of men in the regular branches
of the service
