NEW PEST RAVAGES
GRAIN IN CANADA
Corn Borer, Coming From
Austria in 1910, Suddenly
Becomes Big Menace.

Europe, dependent upon America
for much of its food, seems to have
en unfortunate tendency to defeat
the end that it seeks to have accom-
plished. Desiring grains for its ta-
bles, Europe nevertheless is the
source of many plant parasites that
are doing their best to destroy the
grain crops of this country. Many
have been brought over in the past
The black rust of i'll repute in the
Western grain fields is an example.
Now come reports from the corn
fields of Canada of another and seri-
Gus outbreak or increase in a para
site that bids fair to be one of the
most difficult to combat.
Comes in Broom Corn.
Back in A9O9 or 1910 a shipment of
broom corn was sent to Canada from
Austria. Hidden somewhere in the
shipment was the European corn
borer, which can so infect a corn
field that there will be little or moth
ing in the way of a harvest.
For number of years 1t developed
Nnnoticed and it's numbers became
fairly great. 1t came to the atten-
ton of entomologiSts in 1920 in the
Ontario corn fields. Since then it's
spread has been rapid.
Growth Facilitated.
The cultural methods in certain
sections of the province, particularly
Essex, Kent and Lambton Counties,
are ideal for its growth. Some indi-
cation of the rapid increase of the
borer is indicated by the fact that
last year about three-fourths of l per
cent of the corn In these areas was
affected. while in the past year the
total was 40 Der cent 1t is estimated
that an increase in the number of
horers of about 800 per cent occurred
during the year.
Efforts are being made to prevent
the spread of the borer beyond the
present affected area, and in particu-
lar TO guard the borders, that none
may be carried into the United
States.
The entomologists face just one
more enemy in their battle to keep
the world supplied with food. From
The increase in numbers it would
seem that they have a vigorous foe

Bruce said.
Personally I favor it heartily. l

face the fact that many persons, in

fors Is about 240 miles across the
Baltic Sea, a good days run for a

of air shipping was demonstrated by
the fact that the first cargo carried

FRENCH COMMUNISTS
TRY TO BLOCK LOAN
Government Leaders Use Strategy
to Popularize Plan of Aid
From America.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 6.-"France will
find all the gold she wants in the
United States" says Humanite in
leading the communist campaign
against French loans. But in ex-
change" the newspaper adds, "she
must accept political and economic
slavery in Wall street"
All the officials concerned in the
French borrowing policy, the Com
munists demand, should be brought
before a revolutionary tribunal" The
argument of the Communists is that
loans increase the interest burden
but do not solve the financial prob
lem.
The government, however, is re-
torting vigorously with new methods
for populariZing the loan of four bill
lion francs which it hopes to raise.
Lectures before chambers of com
merce and bankers, foreign and do
mestic, and lengthy advertisements in
the newspapers are being substituted
for the traditional picturesque post
ers used heretofore.
Some of the banks instead of ad-
verttsing are dividing their per
cent commission with subscribers as
discreetly as possible, but not with
enough care to avoid detection. Some
of them have been threatened with
the withdrawal OF their rights to sell
these bonds.
One curious and fortunate feature
of the campaign is the attraction of
foreign subscriptions. All foreign
bankers were called to the ministry
Of finance one day to hear an expo
sition of Frances economic and
financial situation. Whether this was
responsible for the foreign ,spbscrip-
tions is unknown, but a goodly por-
ton Of the amount already subscribed
has come from abroad.
Spain is leading in the foreign sub
scrtptlons. 1t is said in financial
circles that the Spaniards are some
what doubtful as regards the tran
quillity of their own country and, an
tlcipating an Improvement in the
franc in consequence of the 100000
900 loan In America, are buying the
bonds as speculation.

PROBLEM is SOLVED.
Germans Now Can Make Standard
Sized Wallets.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERLIN, November 1.-THE lack
of a standard size, of recent years, Tor
German paper money, or rather OF a
standard that could be expected to
endure, has made difficulties for the
manufacturers of pocketbooks. They
never knew what size to trim their
leather.
The new paper money of today, the
renten mark, has approximately the
shape of the American greenback,
but is a little smaller. Its per
manence seeming well assured. the
billfold makers are going ahead full

GERMAN CARTOON Is HIT.
Type Wears Cross Between Ounce
and Night Caps.

BERLIN, December 6.-Germany
has an imaginary character, the
German Michael" who is a great IA
vorite with political cartoonists and
is playing an important role in the
pre- election publicity campaign, just
as he has for many years. This figure
represents a good-natured chap in a
cap which is a sort of cross between
a Ounce cap and nightcap.
Michael usually is pictured in
dressing gown and is somewhat
lazy type which is supposed to typi-
fly the ow-going German the va
rious political leaders are trying to
influence The figure is said to have
been copied originally from the pic
ture of a brave German officer In
the Thirty Years War, who was
known to the Spaniards for his sin
cerity and valor.

Bower of Beauty
harrington School
Characteristics

A bower Of beauty is just the way
to describe the appearance of the
Kindergarten at the Harrington school.
Those many grown-ups who attend .
the first cabaret whist Given by the
Parent-Teacher association of the
school Friday evening will agree that
this description just Ats the appear
ance of the large well-lighted room.
AT each end of the kindergarten are
twin pillars with appropriate white
lattice work while all around the four
walls are beautiful white wooder trel-
Uses fairly covered with beautiful ar
tiflcial flowers.
There unusual decorations are the
same that were used in the big En-
cry Brown store in Waterville for
their spring opening. Messrs. Harry
and Herbert Brown brought them to
Augusta for the use of the school
and turned them over to their sister,
Mrs. Scion w. Purinton, the presi-
dent Of the Harrington Parent Teach
er association. These decorations
will remain in place for the remain
der Of the school year and they are
certain to make brighter the appear
ance Of the room.
The Cabaret Whist Friday evening
was unusually successful from every
point of view. One interesting num-
Der inadvertently omitted in the men,
ton of the affair in Saturdays Jour-
nal was the singing in French of the
'Marseillaise" by George Bilodeau,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. 7. Frank Bilo-
deau Of Davenport street. All the
numbers on the program except the
final one by the teachers were given
by pupils of the harrington school.
The funds raised will he used for the
supplying needed articles in carrying
on the work in the various classes.
