The coach must have. and exer-

must be dcspotic and disliked. A
little sarcasm now and then is much
more effective in putting pep into a
team than is constant believing and
"bawling out" However strict a
coach may be during practice and
during the course of a game, this
must be forgotten as soon as the

Last Saturday evening, Mckinley
Mickey entertained his and Mr.. Bung's
Sunday School class at weinier roast,
held on the bank Of the Gunnison river.
Besides the seventeen boys, four guests
were present, Misses Rich and Rutland
and Messrs- Welbourn and Wilkinson.
A big fire was built and supper SER
ed, after which various games. were
played until 1880, when all returned to
town, hoping for another such fete
soon.

Cebolla, departed last week to MAKE
their future home in Denver. The

PREVENTION BEST METHOD OF
FIGHTING CLOTHES MOTH

Agricultural College Nevertheless
The most destructive insect TO WOOL
en- goods and furs is the well known
clothes moth. Many people are fami-
liar with the results Of the work Of
this pest, but very few really know
what the insect looks like. The dam
age is done by the larvae or young of
the insect. The moths are small, yell
Iowish or buff-colored insects and
are discernible when disturbed from
some garment or at night, flying
around the lamp or electrics. They are,
themselves harmless when II comes to
damaging any products, rs their mouth
parts are suctorial and they live on
the nectar of flowers.
There are three common species Of
clothes moths that do damage in this
country. The larvae are small, dull
whitish caterpillars and are protected
by a movable case away from which
they are never seen. As they increase
in size, the case is enlarged in proper
tion, both in length and width. The
color of the case depends upon the
color Of the fabric on which the lar
vac are feeding.
When the larvae become full grown,
the case is attached by silken threads
TO the garment or material upon which
II has been feeding or in the adjacent
walls and undergoes the transforma-
tion from larvae to chrysalis ana
adult. This takes about three weeks
The moths hide away during the day
and when disturbed can be observed
running and concealing themselves in
the folds Of the garment upon which
they occur. They are rather short
lived and soon die after depositing
their eggs.
Unfortunately there is no definite
satisfactory method of Graduating this
pest after it has once been introduced
into the household. 1t requires con-
slant and frequent inspection of gar
ments when it has become trouble
some.
Prevention is the best remedy. Sum-
light and fresh air are among the best
available agents for its control. Gar
ments should be thoroly brushed and
aired before they are stored. This is
to dislodge the eggs and remove the
larvae that might be on them. The
clothes can then be packed away with
some repellent, such as tobacco, moth
balls, camphor, or in a cedar chest.
These will prevent the adult moths
from laying their eggs on clothing
thus treated. 1t must be remembered
that the odors from the above SUBJ
stances will have no effect on larvae
which really do the damage, but simp-
ly some effect on repelling the moths,
thus avoiding new infestation

LON HOGAN ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF ROTARY CLUB

Lon Hogan will head Gunnison Ro-
tary for next year, taking the office
of President the first Monday In May.
Guy Palmer was elected vice president;
Bill Jones, secretary; Ashton Wins
low, treasurer and Tekay Kruger
and Judge Nourse, members Of the
Board of Directors at the annual cleo
ton of the club, held at the regular
luncheon last Monday.
At the meeting quite a number of
guests were again present, among
them being noted, District Attorney
Nj. F. Lance, federal court naturaliza-
ton examiner Of Denver. Dan Hughes
of MOntrose, S. d. Crump Of Denver,
Garwood H. Judd, Frank L. Hays,
Earl Stone and Matt Kochevar.
Grant Rutland reported on the pro-
position to give prizes for the best
flower garden and the best lawn in
Gunnison this summer. The Rotary
Club will offer first prize Of $40 and
q second prize of SIS, in each class. The
committee will announce rules to
govern, judges, etc, at a later date.
OF course the judges must observe the
lawns during the summer, TO determine
which Gunnison citizen has kept the
best one. Whether the same idea would
apply to a flower garden is question
to be determined. Some lady or gem
tleman who specialize in peonies, pop
pies, roses. iris, etc, might claim
that their garden was the pink of
perfection in July, whereas on the
first of September, those who enjoyed
asters, sweet peas, gladiolas, dahlias,
ETC., would have them bested, since
summer flowers would have faded.
All Gunnison Rotafians, Rotariannas
and Rotariettes are invited as guests
of the Grand Junction club on Friday
and Saturday the first and second of
June. It will be a grand doings, for
as explained by Rotarian Lee w. Bur-
CESS of the Junction, that city proposes
to Guido itself in the entertainment.

its unique celebration here last sum-
mer. There are now five clubs to
participate, including Montrose, Delta,

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HERALD Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 1 J

Senator Shorter c. Hudgens, Cren- shaw, announced late Wednesday that he would offer a substitute bill to the bill he introduced the other day in the senate which provided for compulsory attendance at public school by all school children in the state.
 The substitute bill to be intro duced by the senator from Crenshaw provides that all school children, who attend private schools must stand an annual examination under the super vision of the county board of educa- tion and if they failed to pass, as required they will then be forced to attend public school. The com pulsory age of the bill was changed from six to IA years of age, it read ing a first to 16.
 Senator Hudgens bill created state wide interest when he introduced it several days ago. The bill, pattern ed after the famous Oregon bill, sought to have every child in the state at tend public schools. This would have resulted in the closing of parochial, schools.
 The bill was scheduled for com mittee hearing this afternoon. 1t now resting in the hands of the educa- tional committee. Opinions had been expressed by several solons that the bill was too drastic while others had favored 1t. Delegations from differ ent parts or the state were scheduled to appear before the committee hoth for and against the bill, and it was forecasted that it would pass or go

 Although they have done wonders so far, the railroads of the country ought to have further time in which to equip themselves for handling the enormous amount of business being offered, according to resolution passed by the Gadsden Chamber of Commerce. The resolution denounces all agitation for government owner- ship of railways and urges that there be no further legislation for control or regulation until the roads have re- covered from government operation during the World war. The chamber declares the roads are spending great sums Tor ad1t1onal equipment and they should be let alone for awhile a t least by state and national legis- latorS.
